Thanks for the reply, Sylwester. I wasn't initially planning to respond but then I realized that responding would help highlight the main point behind the issues I present. The reason this is a "top issue" is because if a player encounters it, the player loses faith in the game as a whole...

Hello, Starbase is an amazing game with endless possibilities. The endless possibilities, however, can be daunting for a player to wrap their head around in addition to the vast number of keyboard controls and other gameplay aspects like "any direction can be up" that are uncommon for most...

Hello, One of the beautiful, easily overlooked and not-so-promoted aspects of Starbase is the persistence. Ships remain in the game world almost indefinitely; initially it was indefinite and now there is some time frame 7-30 days where a derelict ship remains in game. For an MMO, this is rare...

Hello, Starbase is a game where your actions matter; for example, every projectile shot from every weapon represents material mined from the asteroid belts by players. When developers get involved and either help players (with good intentions) or even favor certain players, this can disrupt the...

Hello, These issues are not in a specific order; I definitely rank some higher than others but that's not the point. The main point of the issues I present are how when a player encounters these situations, it causes a lot of frustration with no easy workaround to the problem. Players will find...

Hello, As the devs have been dropping hints that a small team is working on Starbase again and that there is a big update planned for sometime in the next few months, I wanted to lay out some detailed information that would hopefully help in ensuring that Starbase can be a game players can...

Thank you for reinforcing my point! BlackAndWhiteBird is fairly right about the issue with magic poofing of ships from nothing. The issue of being able to pack in parts and do crazy not-able-to-do-in-the-actual-game things in the SSC still exists, and there's no clear way to make that not be a...

First off, it's a game. Second, a generator in Starbase currently has like... 3-4 different "materials" - but none impart any special property. I'm fairly certain that, outside of needing some insulator, a single-metal generator could be made, in terms of "common sense." It's usually simple to...

It's the best part according to everyone left, so the opinion is largely skewed; the majority of gamers do not want to 3D edit for 100's of hours before playing the game. Because it is completely separate from the rest of the game. It's a 3D editor. It's a dev-tool. It has lots of bugs like...

There is: your ship. Without SSC (as covered in another thread) your progression becomes your ship and how you improve it over time. Being one-off and not easy to re-print over and over, your designs take on a life of their own. Meta changes based on new things you think up and your reasons for...

This is precisely the entire problem, which I pointed out. Thank you for confirming and unknowingly agreeing with my point. I think a lot of people will share your sentiment. Which means the game is not Starbase. The game is the SSC for players who think it's the best part. The SSC should not...

The blueprint system is killing the game, because: 1) players spend 100's of hours in a 3D editor instead of playing the game 2) ships made in the 3D editor are compact and unable to be properly repaired in the game world 3) there is no emotional investment in any ship since you can print...

Terrible, PvE theme-park-MMO based ideas, where you want to be "better" than someone else at something because of arbitrary UI/database stats. There are a thousand games which give you those things - most are single-player. A few games, like Rust or Minecraft, which do not lie to players with...

Relogging seems to always reset the proper heat token amount on generators. It's permanent unless you move the generators around more or mess with enhancers and so on - a relog again should fix. It sucks but eh... it's a weird arbitrary token system and we're gonna have to deal with it. Not too...

The devs did post some news about these bugs, which has been well received with many upvotes on the Steam platform for example. In addition, Kai has been working through the ticket/reports for bugged stations - reach out on Discord if you're still waiting. It is a tough problem and with fewer...

Hey devs, I know that Starbase has done its best to eliminate arbitrary UI elements from the game HUD. I appreciate this, along with all those other amazing decisions you all have made like this, so, so much. The current mouse controls for a ship are just a test of what is possible, but I had a...

One way to ensure the game never recovers players is to go radio silent on the game. Even the smallest bug fix will cause some video game journalist to write about it, or some video creator to make a video on it. The new fixes for station LOD and Capital Ship issues should have a Steam page...

They pushed updates to fix the issue so it does not happen again, but, in a big MMO with a single universe, with real meaningful interactions, these things can happen. Most gamers aren't used to this - they're used to their efforts not mattering that much, where a server rollback is acceptable...

An announcement was made today on the Discord; there was an update to fix the issue, but currently-affected stations may be unrecoverable without a rollback, which would cause more problems than it would solve. Use the F1 report method or contact Kai on Discord to inquire about a material refund...
