I think it's safe to say we will be getting land vehicles and landing gears at some point down the line, and the only reason we don't have any yet is because there are bigger priorities (tutorials, improved new player experience, stations/cities, factories, etc.) and because right now there's...

I'm not sure if you'll be able to build this. Factories are pretty big IIRC, and i'm not sure if you'd be able to run the factory part and the ship part on one vessel. That's assuming you'll be able to use all the important factory devices on ships and not just stations.

Eh, if done right. I don't like taking away the skill-focus the game has right now. Everything the player can and can't do is based on their skill and tools. Stat changes would throw a wrench into that. Totally agree with you on the head damage though. I really liked the Endos needing...

As great as this all sounds, I think it'd be best to stick to everyone being the same stat-wise and just keep using back pieces for special abilities or playstyle fitting gear. That way everyone is one a mostly even playing field and differences are really minor, easy to swap between, and fairly...

Maybe a matching decal on the crate's sides? So weapon crates have a generic rifle/ammo belt decal, ore has an asteroid or crystal, etc. Not sure what universal would have, maybe just a box?

PVE isn't really something that will be present in SB. The closest thing to PVE would be the corrosive nebulas, which damage exposed components, but even that will likely be more of a way of forcing better ship design than a focused PVE challenge like a hunger bar or hostile NPCs. You have power...

I could see a few factions arranging this, though I'm not sure how many would care to get involved. Plus, this would be just asking for some pirates to show up and rain bullets on our parade. Still, I'd love to see it happen!

I mean, that is the planned release date.

What does this mean? Is it player or ship armor?

This series has really helped me with my Starbase content withdraw, thanks!

Is boarding ships a valid strategy, or just a bad idea? And if it is successful, is it worth designing against it?

If I make a station with rental lots, and someone buys that lot, do I get the money? Likewise, do I get their taxes? What happens if you don't pay the tax? Do you just lose the lot? What happens to a lot's buildings when its owner loses it? Are they deleted, or left for the next buyer?

Making your own station is the closest you can get to "claiming" space. Built stations project a safe zone that lets their owners restrict what can and can't be done in its confines and who can or can't do these things. So yeah, you and your mates could definitely make a nice base without...

The planned date is sometime in late 2020, although the community thinks it'll be closer to Q1 2021. If you don't mind some bugs, you could sign up like XenoCow suggested. Being active in the community (i.e. in the forums, Discord, etc.) increases your chances, but for the most part getting...

I hope they fix this before any more griefers or pirates find out about it. I can see people designing ships just to drag vessels out of safe zones and destroy them while their owners are away. It almost defeats the point of a safe zone.

Huh, they shouldn't let people use cargo lock frames on other ships in Safezones. That seems like a weird thing to let you do.

What XenoCow said. All of these features seem to be more focused on letting the players create safe and dangerous areas through their own gameplay. It's going to be interesting seeing how SB's universe grows and evolves overtime.

First I'd check it out. Try to work out who owns it, what buildings it has (mining towers, rental lots, etc.) and determine what kind of station it is. That, or see if I can find it on a station database assuming that becomes a thing. If it's openly friendly, like a open trading/mining station...

If people are already meeting each other in CA, I'm sure it'll happen plenty once the game opens up. Populated stations will always have some activity around them somewhere. One important thing I haven't seen anyone mention here is resource distribution. IIRC, Starbase is going to have...

I wouldn't mind some good ol' space races. It would finally give me an actual reason to make dangerously fast ships!
