Station Siege FAQ When is Station Siege coming? A few months after the Early Access launch. How is the size class of a station or capital ship decided? The size class will be around the volume of the station/capital ship. We'll figure out the exact numbers during the process, but the key idea...

Capital Ships FAQ How much does it cost to build a Capital Ship? Capital Ships are expensive and will require a lot of materials. However they also come in various sizes. We estimate Capital Ships will be at least 10x more expensive than stations (maybe even more). Warp charge up time Warp...

In the upcoming Alpha patch 428 (21 April 2021), there are two changes that we wanted to discuss in more detail. 1) Player made Stations are getting refactored, meaning that the technology and code behind them has been rewritten and adapted to a more "final" state. This change should be mostly...

During Closed Alpha we want to organize events. These are good for us as developers to get some additional data on the game and see how the game works in certain situations, and they provide a potentially fun way for players to play and test the game. EVENT RULES Right now there's only one...

Ship Vouchers are an admin tool for Frozenbyte developers to give ships to players in an easy way. This helps us organize large scale events such as combat events. Vouchers are only given out for events or for other ingame purposes such as refunds for lost ships (due to game bugs etc)...

We have a clarification regarding dev faction blueprints. This is a simple rule: Do not share dev blueprints without explicit permission! For further clarification: In Empire, devs will share the blueprints to designated members. Non-dev members are not allowed to share any Empire ship...

Hi all, Here below you can find the current version of the EULA/Code of Conduct (see all posts) for Starbase Alpha. We'll be revising this from time to time (it's not yet complete). We'll eventually move this to the website before Early Access launch (and include e.g. Developer participation...

Hey all, here's a clarification regarding Ship Shops (sparked by the Week 30 Progress Notes). Our vision for Starbase is that any player (or faction) can create content freely and make that available for other players - including Ship Shops. However right now we are still in Alpha, and not all...

I'm starting this thread mostly for myself to keep track of some bugs that tend to happen from time to time, mostly stuff that we discuss in Discord. And more importantly only bugs that have solutions that we haven't yet fixed in the game. We have a couple of internal ways to track bugs as well...
