    Incorporating an in-game Ship design element into the real-time MMO, and abolishing a separate Creative mode

    The loss of gameplay from people figuring out solutions in an offline game universe could be immense. The struggle to build a way to reach the in-game moon for example would have little meaning (or the struggle might not even happen) if the exact best method was found in an offline editor for...

    Here's a clip from Hamstah's Twitter showing detailed damage on an Empire ship!

    That video is AMAZING. That one ship represents untold hours of player interaction. I love how you're poking around, testing the systems. Buttons work - must have power! You then go through and check out the state of all the systems, do a little test drive, fire off the guns to make sure they're...

    Incorporating an in-game Ship design element into the real-time MMO, and abolishing a separate Creative mode

    I posted a similar thought on Discord before the forums came up. If it is more efficient to prototype things in an offline universe, with access to unlimited resources and unlimited ability to spawn ships and test all the game mechanics, it will be in the best interest of dedicated players to...

    LauriFB stated in Discord: stations will be visible from 200km, up to 1000km eventually

    This is impressive. A 100m/s speed ship will have vision of a destination station for up to 2.7 hours of flying time.

    Here's a clip from Hamstah's Twitter showing detailed damage on an Empire ship!

    Here's the link to his tweet: I'm attaching the downloaded .mp4 (zipped, forum does not allow video direct) if anyone wants to play it over and over and over like I'm doing! This level of detail is mind blowing. It's not fake detail, like some pre-designed, pre-rendered damage model state...

    Dear Frozen, When the Time comes for Cosmetics do us one favor?

    I personally am not a fan of cosmetics that break the theme of the game. Like I know cat ears made it into one of the videos but unless that turned into some lore story arc it wouldn't feel right as a 'hat'. Goofy themed skins usually become popular due to being absurd and take away the feel of...

    Bob, hallowed be thy doot. @Jotaro Kujo where's the image?

    would you rather be slaved to build ships or be slaved to fight

    I imagine there will be some shuttle at the starter mega-stations, and someone asking new players if they want a ride. "Sure! Where we going?" "Just get in." 20 new players load up and look around the ship, and the pilot takes off. 10 minutes later, the ship approaches a station, and the pilot...

    Introducing Starbase YOLOL Editor : A Starbase-themed text editor for YOLOL

    Yeah I agree I will learn more about saving files, it's a valid reason to update the app!

    Introducing Starbase YOLOL Editor : A Starbase-themed text editor for YOLOL

    Yeah I'll look into it thank you! I'm not sure where my test user tried to save the file. It was an oversight since I disable UAC on my systems.

    Introducing Starbase YOLOL Editor : A Starbase-themed text editor for YOLOL

    You still have permissions to create files; perhaps the wording of you need administrator access scares you a bit and that is understandable. I'll see if I can get some more functional way for the app to write a file with obtaining user permissions first. I disable UAC on my systems so it's not...

    Introducing Starbase YOLOL Editor : A Starbase-themed text editor for YOLOL

    If you know a way for an app to create files on a system without administrator/permissioned access I think Microsoft would like to hear about it. When testing with crew, one person had UAC enabled in Windows and was unable to save files without launching the program as admin (it did nothing)...

    Introducing Starbase YOLOL Editor : A Starbase-themed text editor for YOLOL

    Maybe if I update it more I will make it open source, but it's too simple now to warrant the effort. If anyone wants the code to build it on their own VS2017 I might be willing to send it over. It was mainly for myself and my crew and I just went overboard to make it good enough where I felt...

    Wings or no wings

    Wings can potentially give you better turning/rotational speed as well as mounting points for certain things, for example cargo locks for hauling asteroids. You might be able to fit one asteroid under each wing, and then realize if you have 4 wings (left/right/top/bottom) you can now carry 4...

    Time To Kill - My Biggest Starbase Concern

    I think the time to kill is very nice from what I've seen so far. Points about time to kill: Starter solo fighter ships are basically cheap throwaways and should go down with a couple good shots (videos show them tanking some damage though) A high quality meta is one where you don't get too...

    Emphasis on Smaller ships.

    To get to the moon, we're going to need ships with a lot of fuel storage. Wonder if any pirates will capitalize on that... :unsure:

    Thankyou Devs!

    I've been gaming since I was 4 years old. Over time I've developed the ability to spot a good game; Starbase is going to be a great game. Starbase is what everyone in the space-themed MMO sphere has been wishing for. I can already see its potential and I am extremely excited; I haven't been this...

    What do you want to see in the next Starbase feature video?

    We haven't seen much information on the market for buying and selling items. I'd like to see information on factions, player factions and safe zones as well. I'm sure I'm missing a lot. What else?

    Introducing Starbase YOLOL Editor : A Starbase-themed text editor for YOLOL

    Hi, I made this app due to wanting to be able to edit YOLOL code and have some theme to it instead of a basic text editor. It's purely a themed text editor that allows only 20 lines and 70 characters per line. It's very simple and just meant to be fun for creating YOLOL code. It saves files in...

    This game is going to be awesome.

    The most hype since I can remember.
