Iv been hearing about some of these updates for so long like inventory 2.0 its good to see it finally coming!

One of my biggest personal disappointments when Starbase released, was that they didn't actively focus on that whole "Kingdom vs Empire" thing they had going in all the pre-release dev videos. I was so fed up of every other crafting/survival game devolving into a shoot-on-sight soup of tiny mafia clans led by narcissists, that I thought Frozenbyte had finally figured it out. That by having all players fighting for either Kingdom or Empire, it would remove the infinite no-mans land filled with petty raiders and opportunists, and instead provide an actual tangible front line, with a considerable pseudo-safe zone behind it. You could still have individual player created companies, but everyone would be fighting together under one of two banners. That when you see a ship in the distance, it's not instant terror and paranoia every single time, but instead, "Is it's signal purple or orange?". It would have provided new or non-combat inclined players a safe region to operate in, whilst giving much needed structure and persistent stakes to the PvP orientated players, and actually unite both of them in supporting each other within their own mutual space. I remember being really surprised that so few other players seemed to be bringing this up back during the early discussions.

when pve content is on life server i'll come and probably bring some newbie friends with me :)

i am... Cautiously optimistic . i was seriously disappointed after building ships multiple time and having the game just eat them. i am also concerned about the warp mechanics described so far. just a giant announcement for everyone looking and you have to just stand there and wait? this guarantees ganking against basic miners.

H..Hype? HYPE!

I literally haven’t played this in. I don’t know how long and all It takes is one video for me to start trying to wrap my head around the build mechanics again. and remember exactly how it works.😅

Ghost transponders? I never made the jump to visit moons/planets. I'm excited now though! Thanks for the update.

Hesitantly optimistic

I remember joining a clan b4 the game was going to release and even tried to sign up for ea. But the game kinda just died before it came out so here is hoping to even more success. ALSO DONT GIVE UP

I really wanted it to work, but it just didn't. I spent over 4 weeks grinding out my tech tree, I could make anything (except the paint colours and most of the personel weaponry) and had a bunch of points saved up to research future releases. I then spent 3 days in the ship editor trying to make a single nacelle and rage quit the game. Parts the same shape that were obviously designed to fit together did not have snapping points in the correct locations. My first love in any game like this is designing ships and that is literally the worst designer I have ever seen in any video game ever. This game can never come back. It has been dead for years. I really wanted it to work. But it just didn't and never will.

On one hand i'm happy they are finally "Working on the game" but on the other i still consider it a joke and abandonware. Barly any updates during the last two years, just some small bugfixes, game was/is still available to purchase on steam and by coimbining those two factors plus them adding an item shop and just promissing that everything will be in game "soon", makes me wonder if they are only working on the game to make some sales, either new copies sold or milk the biggest fans. I just don't believe they are on it with full strength and will to make those promises reallity. I really wish they would succeed, becasue i really liked the game when it came out, spent hours learning how to build ships but i just can't believe or trust them anymore.

Been playing for a week straight already after the good news :D Not in my wildest dreams would I think they would resume development on my dream game. Going to be many late nights in the ship designer this summer!

I don't know how I feel about this. This was one of my most anticipated games ever. They made the terrible decision to launch into EA far too early. It needed another 2 years in the oven minimum. Public perception and steam reviews are rightfully extremely negative. I don't see how they can pull off a No Man's Sky comeback. I'll be keeping an eye on the project but I remain skeptical. Once bitten twice shy.

I thought of development like a crockpot stew that we forgot about. Oh boy they were cooking. Great to hear that it's back! Still cautious though as usual.

gonna keep my negative review until we get a singpleplayer mode, or a self-host mode where i can play with friends.

Glad to see they are finally considering PvE encounters, if only they'd done it before the game died 😭

I'm so excited

Oh hell yes sweet as.

Maybe I'll re-install it, I'm going to wait and see how things go with patches first. I spent a lot of time in the game before the development got put on hold, and I would like to see this game succeed.

Kenetor, the moment I saw today's announcement about the STU I checked to see if you'd made a video, and you didn't disappoint. Thank you so much, as always, for balancing your hope for the game with well-deserved skepticism and critique. I've always appreciated your willingness to call things as you see them. I'm cautiously optimistic. 🙏

Glad I refunded when I did, not going to fall for this

yeaah

:^)

Jesus, this looks like EVE, the third job.

Well fancy seeing you guys here again! Good to see another SB Kenetor video and looking forward to more!

Can't wait to start running convoys with the Kbots after all this time.

Is there still a tech tree for getting parts for a ship? I dont want to come back and grind for money just to waste it on advancing a tech tree and then having to grind further to earn points to research another part for the tech tree.

Humphrey shall rise once more Edit: perhaps a quick start guide on how to use the new editors coming soon?

I left this game over a year ago now due to the state of PVP. I'm not seeing anything different here for those wanting a more casual relaxing experience. So still not interested.

I thought this game died, cause of how poorly they handed the PVP aspect.

ok for the road map, we had also a road map years ago and we know how it ended

I’m going in so happy

Nice to have you back Kenetor. I'm cautiously optimistic.

eeeee

Did they kill that awful ship-builder and add some tutorials? And is there a point to user starbases yet? I wasted so much time building that crap for nothing. This game dropped the ball hard. I'm not sure I'm keen to give it another chance yet. I'll maybe look at this when there is PVE.

WE ARE SO BACK. Do you think You might do a new player intro? I played a good bit when it came out but Idk a lot of what was added later. Just a quick guide on how to get onto the test server and what's a good way to find the content to test, like a quick tour of the station and how to navigate around space.

if this picks up again I hope you get around to some updated tutorials with all the new systems and content, perhaps put them all in a playlist if you haven't already

I'm so happy. I really loved the concept of Starbase and I was so disappointed when they stopped development. I didn't expect the game to be revived, so this is awesome. If they pull it off and manage to make the game sustainable, I'll play this as my main MMO for years to come. Looking forward to more update videos from you like the old days.

oh HEELLL YEESS!! I think this will be the first time I will ever buy cosmetics in a game because I want to support this project so bad

No friggin way

the beacon of hope has been lit, kenetor calls for aid

I had accepted that this game was dead and would eventually just disappear into oblivion. I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic, but it's really hard!

Сейчас наверно опять надо с нулЯ учиться строить корабль они опять ввели какую-нибудь фигню без которой корабль не полетит... 😅

LETS GOOOO ITS BACK BABY

I love this, it's basically Eve, but more personal.

About to build my own Hype Van! LFG!!!

I want this game to succeed but I don't see that happening as long as it stays an MMO. Many of its issues are the result of being an MMO. It would be a much better game if it was a sandbox game like space engineers.

when the PvE stuff comes to the test Universe then I will gladly play on the test Universe. I really LOVED the idea behind Starbase but there was no PvE options. I'm a Scavenger/Salvager in ship games.

There really is nothing else like Starbase. I have spent 2 years looking for another way to scratch the itch and it doesn't exist.

Welp, we will have to wait and see. As currently, the game's biggest enemy is the devs. Also, I take Frozenbyte's word as far as I can kick'em. (Remembers the tech tree that was claimed to not be a planned feature...till it was added.)
