Hello everyone, here are the progress notes of the week 36 of 2021!

Please note that the "Progress Notes" are different from the Starbase "Patch Notes". Progress Notes are snippets from the development team and what has been worked on during the previous week, and many of the features might not be present in the current or upcoming builds of the Starbase Early Access. Some features, especially in the design portion, can be subject to change as the development continues.

Also, I feel like this should be said. Those ball turrets are huge. Also looks like the ball turrets are using flak guns!

Something sucks over this nicely looking format: translations.
Usually giving translations of Patchnotes etc to my mates on Discord but lately it´s not worth the efford, for everyone is waiting for FB to fix stations and gameplay while playing other games :(

There are many cool features incoming....
Keep up progression.

That durability tool picture concerns me that they are thinking about/planning to add ammo to it, which would be massively frustrating.

No such plans. Artists just have a habit of making all tools to support all options.

Woah! Ball turret!

So many questions!

I guess it gonna use some form of tripod code, that's why it need to be contained in ball shape to prevent any clipping.

Can we freely build things inside of it? Outside I guess is a no-go, to prevent collisions

Could you consider giving it at least 30 degree depression? It's quite important in space to aim downwards too.
People who want to put it on flat deck can just sink it into the deck for extra protection.

Can we use ball turret parts for other things?

Could we get non-square turret base part? I.e. make it octagon by cutting 144x144 triangles of the corners. Would help non-boxy ships.

Can we install more than 2 guns on it? i.e. 4.



And will we get some love for the good old turrets too? Not asking for much, just increase the torque (2x for small turntable. 4x for large turntable and cradles). Look what we can do with just slight boost in torque:

And mouse control for ships. Just let yolol know where the player is looking (bind it to 360x180 fov lever), and we'll do the rest. Or at least remove dead zone from current mouse control.

We appreciate hard work put into ball turrets, but there's not much work needed to make the normal turrets decent too!

I can't wait for these ball turrets. I think they look even better than the old turrets for the job of being a turret.

Will you be able to slave them together?
