Update 9.6.2021 (Alpha 476)
New Features and Major Updates
- Major material update
- Some items might receive materials not found on the Eos belt, and will later be found on the moons
- Asteroid Belt ore distribution updated
- Mouse Ship Controls
- The first version, still a work in progress and we would like input from players
- Player can toggle mouse ship control mode when sitting in pilot seat by pressing C
- In mouse control mode, moving cursor is bound to default yaw/pitch levers if present
- Known issues and lacking features:
- HUD not finished
- No bind customization
- No settings options
- No way to freelook while in mouse ship controls mode
- Ore Collector and Torpedo Warhead have broken crafting data
- Mouse Ship Controls requires the Pitch/Yawn fields to be written FcuRotationalYaw / FcuRotationalPitch
- There is a problem with the local data in some cases. You can fix this by removing %appdata%\starbase\quickbinds folder contents (doing this will also reset all ship custom binds to default values)
