    The Godhand | Mature, International Community

    Quick bump! Still looking for a few more. Like most companies, we're still finding our feet (space is big!) but we're getting daily pew pew and production is going well. In the long-term, we're in the process of getting set up outside of the safe zone permanently and preparing for cap ships. If...

    The Godhand | Mature, International Community

    The Godhand The Godhand is a small, mature community made up of a mix of players who've been gaming together for the better part of a decade and some newcomers who have joined us for Starbase. We're focused on small scale piracy and pew pew. No CTA's, no drama, no BS. Just chilled out game...

    VoIP do we need it?

    As Atreties said, there are plenty of uses outside of the very specific examples you've provided. RP for one, or just being social in general is another. VoIP is always going to offer a more personal experience than text chat or emotes and yes, that definitely has it's downsides (like some...

    VoIP do we need it?

    I disagree completely that it's not worth that time. VoIP is a pretty major feature when it comes to online games and pre-recorded sound bites aren't a valid substitute for full VoIP. Also, can't really compare the fact that not many people use VoIP in DayZ (which I'd even argue against, since...

    +1 for full VoIP.

    Station rules of engagement

    And that's the beauty of games like this, they attract all kinds of players :D Larger wars are often what get written about and remembered most for sure. I don't play EVE anymore, but I still read EVE related articles when I see them posted on gaming sites as I find them really interesting to...

    Station rules of engagement

    People said the same about EVE, but I've seen small groups cripple larger groups infrastructure in that game so only time will tell ;) Personally I don't like being part of large groups. A lot of the features you mentioned won't really interest everyone either. Large scale wars often end up...

    Station rules of engagement

    Ah sorry, I thought you were basically just calling all solo players and small groups peasants :P Yeah, you can't completely balance small groups vs. larger groups and that's fine. Large groups will have more activity so it makes sense that smaller groups won't be as effective against them. I...

    Station rules of engagement

    I think you'll be surprised to learn that it's anything but a small crowd. A good chunk of the playerbase will be solo players and smaller groups as is always the case in these kinds of games. I don't think it's fair to say we're advocating that us smaller groups have just as much power as the...

    Station rules of engagement

    Whilst I quite like the sound of the system as a whole and I understand the need for defenders to be given enough time to respond to an attack, my concern with station raids taking days is this point by Vexus: Basically, a large force is still going to be untouchable by a smaller force which...

    [Poll] What Kind of Player Are You?

    I chose pirate, but honestly it depends on the situation. I'm quite social so that can sometimes be at odds with my playstyle. Played EVE for 10 years and did a little bit of everything there so SB will likely be the same.

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

    Pfft, who cares about performance when we can see our targets from hundreds of km's away!? :p In all seriousness, render distance is always a tricky thing to get right. It can definitely impact performance substantially, but it's also really useful to have a high render distance, especially in...

    Your ship of choice?

    I'll primarily be piloting something small and nimble. Cool ship! Reminds me of the Ebon Hawk from KOTOR. Would love to see it recreated in SB! :D

    Let's Make the Forum's Biggest Check-In Thread

    Without a doubt :) It's always nice to be there at the "beginning" so to speak. Not in an elitist way, just to look back on a communities history and such.

    how hyped are you for starbase? will it be a "shut up and take my money" moment or not?

    Definitely day 1 for me. I really should know better, I've played more early access titles over the past few years than anything else and every single launch is a disaster one way or another. I mean no disrespect to FB, I'm sure they'll do everything they can to ensure the smoothest launch...

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

    I agree with Vexus. An offline ship editor will likely be a hotly requested feature for SB, I know it was with Worlds but I was against it there too for the same reason. I think that designing and building ships should be a social feature and, as Vexus said, should contribute to the game world...
