Starbase Community News: January 2021

[AuraFB]

Happy New Year to all of Endokind! The year-end festivities and fireworks are now behind us, and us at Frozenbyte have returned from a well-deserved break. In December, we had a holiday-themed ship surprise in the Sunny Ship Center, called "The Sled", which replaced Vasama during the holiday season. Vasama has now been returned to its rightful place, but you can still admire the screenshot of The Sled in case you missed this special seasonal treat.

Been craving a good, chaotic space battle? You're in luck! Starbase Alpha events have made a return. On Wednesday 27th January we had a free-for-all at Robur Station. If you missed it, don't worry - there's more! Come participate today Friday 29th January (19:30-21:30 UTC) to a convoy event at Empire HQ. Be part of the Empire convoy trying to reach the Empire Outpost safely, or be part of the pirates trying to stop them!

And tomorrow on Saturday 30th January (19:30-21:30 UTC), there is a Team Deathmatch at Robur Station! More information about both events at Starbase Discord in #alpha-announcements!

Loving the Trident ship images, Marki, looking forward to seeing them in the Vintage ship shop!

 

[Glux]

We need a ship show, much like a car show. Good stuff everyone!

 

[Kodey]

Seeing my Fokker being called names by a bully just hurts me to the core.

Anyways, Thanks for featuring the Deliverance! Hopefully it’ll find some use as a better torpedo!

The Robur battle was great fun! Nice to see all the stuff this creative community comes up with.
