Due to the very positive first experiences with the process, we are extending the Officers Program for an indefinite period of time. We will update this thread accordingly to display whether we are accepting new applications with additional information. --- Current applications are: OPEN ---...

Punished Aboleth... Now that's a name I havn't read in a long time

I think one crucial issue in this thread here is that people compare Starbase, a (primarily) 1st person sci-fi Sandbox-MMO, to traditional MMORPGs with the occasional sandbox elements. Last I checked, Starbase wasn't declared as an MMORPG. In fact, there's no actual RPG element in Starbase. No...

Right, but then you could also have a Civ CS which you simply don't move at all and it would still be worth more than a station due to being invincible.

Right, that's why I said apart from the cost factor. As I see it right now, if you pay a bit more, you can essentially get a permanent, indestructible and movable station instead of a vulnerable static one. Is that correct?

With civilian capital ships being indestructible and movable home bases, what reason is there for players to build stations at all, apart from a possible cost factor?

There used to be plans for a sandbox gamemode for Starbase, which have since been postponed as FB wanted to see if the one universe we have is sufficient for everyone. The idea is not completely off the table, but for now the best we'll get in that direction are the instances for the ship editor...

The title immediately cought my eye. "Ambitions" is all I'm playing for. My personal ambition is to make a meaningful mark in the game's history. If we look over to EVE, we can see battles of epic proportions, whether they are in the nature of military, economy or intelligence, and even read up...

I'm already intrigued to see the progress notes for next week. Looking forward to see how the game changes now that players are actually part of it.

Arbiters' Ambition Recruitment Thread Your Journey to become an Arbiter In a game where every player plays in the same universe, everything anybody will do has permanent consequences. Every action changes the world for the rest of the playerbase. In a shared universe, we share a common story...

I just love seeing new assets added to the game.

It is kinda sad as Kingdom at least to me always felt as if it was supposed to be equal to Empire. Since the most interesting factions are usually neutral though, my vote goes towards that.

I believe since they already started measuring interest in an Alpha Version with their last survey, we'll have a limitedly playable Starbase in the second Quarter, although LauriFB stated that the list of open tasks they want to get done before alpha is growing instead rather than shrinking. I'd...

When I first told friends about Starbase, they were deterred a bit by the term "MMO" Their reasoning was that as a casual player, you can't catch up to hardcore players in level and thus you're always at a disadvantage. Upon hearing that I told them that this may be true to some extent for...

Welcome to the forums, old friend. Took you a while o7

"Saltberia" is at the moment really only a concept and the devs are rather unclear about it. Whenever it is mentioed, it has something joking to it so you never really know how serious you can take it, but it's definitely planned to exist. There are a few things they did share though...

Movement systems can really change the entire dynamic of a shooter, and I personally always felt like they're greatly enriching the games that featured them. But Starbase already has a very intruiging overall concept for infantry combat with open space, magnetic surfaces, freely usable jetpacks...

If we take it very literal, the Steam Page lists "Broadband Internet Connection" as recommended network requirement. And if we look up the definition of Broadband, we see that the FCC (USA) defines that as a connection with a speed of 25 Mbps down- / 3 Mbps upload. Before a change in 2015, it...

I've been thinking about this a lot as well. The dev's answers to gravity in the starbase-faq channel really give off the feeling they are considering gravity. FB is usually quite diplomatic in their answers and clearly tell you when something has not been considered, has not been finalized or...

So I found the conversation that led me believe a black market for weapons could exists with licenses. But there's a few issues remaining that Ville is absolutely aware of. I personally am all for allowing the possibility of black markets. And I think illegal weapon manufacturing would be...
