Starbase is out and it's actually pretty good It's been a long road here, but there's still plenty to look forward to

Hi and welcome to the forum!

While I am impressed with the work that went into your concept @Aha , if the devs implemented them Starbase would become a really different game. If auto turrets can be invented by players themselves through YOLOL, then it would clash with the core emphasis on mechanical engineering that the...

Access to closed alpha is given out to a number of people who have signed up using the form available on the Starbase discord. Although there will be some more invites before the game releases into early access, people who have been around for a while tend to get prioritised. TL;DR you can sign...

Unless auto turrets were made absolutely massive I don't see how they would be beneficial to large ships while also stopping small ships from using them. At that point they'd sort of lose their function as anti fighter weapons and would be a very big target. While the...

One month until Early Access begins (unless the devs postpone it again lmao)

I can imagine that the current code for building kind of freaks out if you try to do stuff while moving in a ship. Hopefully the devs can fix it in the future but it's probably quite far down the list.

This looks really exciting, I'm glad that the devs are taking comments surrounding the capital ships into account when designing how station sieges will work.

The max speed will probably be changed at some point, but there isn't much of an incentive to hit max speed at the moment given how inefficient it is to get there.

Large scale drama between factions is likely to drive people away from the game. By making hard rules against social engineering in EA, the devs can focus on actually making the game rather than moderating conflict. Once the game is more stable, they'll probably relax the rules to allow faction...

Large asteroids are looking really nice now, keep up the good work.

Having looked through it, it is quite out of date, so I would appreciate some help in creating a new page of all the ships currently in player ship-shops.

Given that more and more player-made ships are being made easily purchasable with player ship-shops, what are people's opinions on adding approved player ships into the Starbase wiki for easier browsing? Also apologies if this is in the wrong section, I didn't really know where wiki discussions...

Projectile velocity is already available for most weapons on the Starbase Wiki. Diameter of bullet holes can also be *roughly* calculated by using the damage calculations detailed here (although I would also appreciate more info being available from the devs). But how would you even begin to...

Over a year on the forums so far, been amazing to see how the game has progressed.

Lot of interesting ideas here, especially with increasing the viability of pistols in PvP.

Sounds like really interesting faction, I'll keep it in mind if I ever need transport or find myself out of the job.

Amazing design as always, especially with the arched back and wings. Personally, I'd increase the size of the plating around the laser cannons to improve their durability, but I can understand that it would make them harder to access for repairs.

If warp gates are tied to stations, I doubt that there will be a random exit (even a relatively small one) to prevent ships crashing into the station itself. Also, don't warp gates have to have two "connected" and built gates to move anything between them? I though they were more designed for...

I don't think there are enough people in CA at the moment to make this possible, but it's also going to be quite hard to organise logistically if multiple factions want to take part. However, given the stuff the community's been able to do so far I wouldn't be surprised if something like this...
