Starbase Progress Notes

@BobRoss98524169 They're out now! https://forum.starbasegame.com/threads/starbase-progress-notes-week-15-2020.903/
A new Starbase video has been revealed! Take some time for yourself to relax and watch a timelapse of the day cycle in Starbase here: https://youtu.be/pD8IXxCgM0s http://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video_thumb/EVkJvqtWkAARPBB.jpg
@TrainingKourse There is no limit to how big the Mega Stations can be π Like cities, they expand as the population grows!
@Dastonio No, not yet! We'll make some noise when Alpha is ready to start π
@xJohnFly π€π€π€
@jackmerritt60 Stations are stationary in Starbase, so no orbiting.
@TrainingKourse You can do as many mining jobs as you want, even endlessly. The mining job area is instanced, so there's no limit to how many players can be mining at the same time π
@r4be_ Yes, pretty sureπThe level of detail (or LOD) on stations helps with the performance. LODs render completely when the player gets closer to them so an entire station won't be fully rendered at any given time. It also helps that stations don't orbit.
We just posted a collection of previously unpublished Starbase materials on our forums, mainly from 2020. Enjoy!

@Heri16690481 You're welcome, and birthday greetings have been forwarded π
@jackmerritt60 The sun is its own separate thing and moves separately from the skybox. The skybox also moves, everything else is stationary, which is what gives you the impression that the planets are rotating π
@Odik_cz @Frozenbyte This is amazing, thank you! πβ€οΈ
Time for Starbase Progress Notes once again, have you been enjoying the treasure hunt?

Ever wondered how well custom ships and modified spacecraft will fare in battle in #Starbase? Wonder no longer, we did some tests!
Check out the Boltcrackers Custom Ship Battle Special Episode! https://youtu.be/bbM94NCM04U http://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video_thumb/EWMiLUKU0AIHbDL.jpg
@TrainingKourse They're also very difficult to take down and can be quite effective if manned properly :)
@Kruzil Valkyrie got a bit unlucky, it was a powerhouse in earlier tests but we didn't get footage with proper settings from those unfortunately :) Should do a rematch at some point!
Bugs or Features..?
We've gathered a collection of some of the most amusing bugs over the course of Starbase's development! π

@Kruzil @Frozenbyte @starbase They're walking during the first 5-6 seconds of the video, the rest seems to be sprinting. Running isn't the fastest method of getting around - turning off mag boots and floating or investing in a Vasama to fly inside stations is definitely faster.
@Kruzil Glad to hear you enjoyed them! π Some anomalies with the shadows/rendering in general will likely remain until late EA, but the most noticeable issues get a higher priority. So it's on the fix list but can't promise it'll be perfect before CA/EA.
@PVallum The starting area of the game is very large and currently contains 1 gas planet, several moons and an asteroid ring, which is about 2000 km in radius. Getting to the moons takes days π Eventually the game area will expand to entire galaxies, but this is the start.
Progress = made
Starbase Progress Notes have been posted on the forums, lot's of pictures and videos included so take a look!

@Kruzil Shouldn't be any features that have been entirely scrapped, but many have gotten improvements/been changed from the state they were first shown in. For example the mining cycle has gone through changes and will likely continue doing so through Alpha and EA.
Starbase Official Soundtrack Vol. 1 is now available for purchase on Steam! The soundtrack contains 23 tracks with a total play time of 2 hours 28 minutes. Happy listening!

@Lowkee1g One-time payment only, no subscriptions planned! There might be some cosmetics for players to purchase further down the line, but that's not coming to the game anytime soon.
@UngeWang Yes, both are planned π Trading between players isn't implemented yet but coming later, and the game's economy is already partially player-based - we're making adjustments to it based on player feedback.
A Starbase Closed Alpha Combat event will take place in 2 hours at 13:00 UTC!
We'll stream the battle, join the action at http://twitch.tv/frozenbyte
