Starbase Development Continues!
We're happy to announce that Starbase development continues. In the near future, the Starbase Public Test Universe (PTU) will be changed from a Beta branch into a separate app ID, so you'll be able to have both the Live Universe, as well as the Test Universe simultaneously installed.
We will start to update the Starbase Test Universe with a number of new features as soon as we wrap up a viable patch.
It's been a long development pause, and we're happy to be back at it!

@@xRituaI starbase peaked 10k players simeltaneously at launch, thats far from dead, and quite frankly quite a good launch for an indie game considering the niche. Be pesimistic if you like, however based on this video it seems the devs know which areas of their game need the most attention immediately, and im all for it.

I'm not crying. It's just... it's just the smell of the finish onions hit me.
PVE content is exactly what this game needs, glad to see it!
This "we're glad to be back" warms my heart, holy shit!
Excited for continued development!
... Oh-My-God! Not only my dreams live on, and we get the unfiltered, direct voice of the hero working on it himself!

❤ My heart swells.
So happy to see Starbase is still being worked on.
STARBASE == A PERL OF A GAME! ❤❤❤
This video increased Starbase population by about 500% in one day. All I'm saying is this video is by far the best video Frozenbyte has ever released!
LETS GO BABY WE'RE BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER
PRAISE BE! WE ARE SO BACK!!
You Sound exhausted but im glad you guys are still on it. Thank you for your work
OH MY GOD! THANK GOODNESS!
Wow, looks amazing! Thank you, team!
IT'S ALIIIIIIIIVE !!! BEST NEWS OF 2024! Thank you so much for your work!
Oh my gods STARBASE I'VE MISSED THIS
SUGGESTION FOR STARBASE: divide the origin station markets, enable some basic trade, not all like to rob and kill but salvage is cool :)
I am sooooo excited to see a Starbase update! Thank you!
you have no idea how amazing this is. so many people have been patiently waiting for starbase to return. thanks guys!
I miss this game!!
this is the greatest timeline development
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
OH MY GOD THE BEST SPACE SIM LIVES!!! i have so many memories of this game back in 2020 and closed alpha!
Huge really awesome plans mentioned in this video - many of them essential and very needed for QOL and to have a thriving MMO population. Personally, I will only be coming back once these are all on the live server and not just ideas that haven't even made it onto the test server yet.
Wow... can't wait to test all this!
So excited to see that this game has a future!!
Thank you thank you thank you! Today is a real holiday!!!
Well that's an unexpected but welcome surprise. Glad to see some of the pain points being adressed, like ship repair, travel time and inventory.
Yes!
I am glad you are back too!
Hell yeah. Back to some of the best times of my life
So happy to see this update. Welcome back!
WE ARE SO BACK!!!! Genuinely super excited to see this gem of a game get a second chance at life
it's about damn time, time to get that circulation going 🥰
Amazing news, hope everything goes well with this and this gets people back into the game, this looks amazing! This was what I needed to see to buy the game, will be doing so soon.
Jumped out of my seat, let's goo!! I'm so excited for future updates!
WE ARE SO BACK, Playing since alpha and still loving the game. Keep up the great work ❤
WE ARE BACK BABBBYYYYY
GOOD SO SEE YOU BACK
PLEASE keep this alive, so much potential, can't wait to see stations alive again! Love ya'!
Best day of this year
Let's go!
Consider my hope fully (but cautiously) restored. Best of luck to the team, and thank you for the hard work you've clearly put in to realizing the vision of Starbase.
keep going!!! I've believed since the beginning and always held hope!!
Hope this bring this awesome game back to life
Glad to have you back! This game has incredible potential, I sincerely hope you're able to fully realise that potential now that development is back on. This looks like a great list of additions and improvements, although I do feel some of them could run counter to the core ideas behind the game if not carefully implemented (and possibly replaced with more refined solutions down the line), particularly all ships being able to warp and insurance. Both features present an immediate quality-of-life improvement to the players in terms of minute-to-minute gameplay, but run the risk of discouraging players to explore, cooperate, and build infrastructure to overcome the limits they represent in the long term by simply removing those limits, which I don't think is an ideal outcome. I'm sure we've all played an open-world game that starts off feeling large and exciting, but ends up feeling small and uninteresting due to overly-generous fast travel, for example. In any case, whatever misgivings I may have, I look forward to seeing the game grow and evolve over the coming months and years!

i agree but i think the devs are aware of this, and so i trust they will implement these things in a way that is appropriate. After all, insurance and aeroplanes exist in real life, but nobody wants to crash their car, and planet earth still seems pretty big! Besides, learning from mistakes is honorable and respectable.
Huge congratz to everyone involved to being able to return to development! I am so happy to see you back at it again

OMG - In future updates: Warp, Map, Markers, Trade panel from map! Preparing for nations and PVE content, LOD optimizations, Ship Insurance Editors for build of stations and capital ships, Inventory 2.0, Ship Blueprint selling Make it real, and i will buy skins and emotes for sure🙂
I am HYPED for the continued development of Starbase. I'm very excited to see what comes next. Thank you FB for not shelving Starbase forever.
WOOOOO!
This update sounds so good- I am SO happy to hear an update is coming and that it is so beefy. So excited to play again!
Ееееее. Игра живет. Очень рад за разработчиков что они не бросили перспективный проект. Спасибо Вам. Желаю удачи! Мы все верили в Вас!
huge news, can't wait to get back in to starbase, I never lost the hope on u guys!
It's nice to see some implementation of explicit systems
YAY!!!
I’m so glad to see you guys make a come back, I have my Paris class frigate just waiting to be reworked on again in the editor.
really happy about this news, loved playing it a while back but some of the bugs were driving us insane. looking forward to the new updates.
I can't wait!! Great news!
:O It lives
I can't wait!
YES! im so glad Starbase is BACK!
We are so fucking back.
Welcome back devs, great to have you!
You have a gem of a game in your hands please don't throw it in the trash, it's very great that you're back
Wonderful News!
I knew you'd be back ❤
i just know this game has soo much potential! glad to see it's getting updates again :))
We are SO back. Not only in the sense of "this game is being made again!!!", but these changes (especially looking into PvE content, and territory control mechanics) are VERY promising and feel like strides in the right direction!
as someone who has no interest in PvP. Nice to see some PVE features. Maybe even PvE server in the future? Or player hosted community servers would be great.

tbh if you're not interested in PVP, why are u even playing MMOs? Like there's coop games and singleplayer markets entirely for you, mmo usually means pvp
OH MY GODS HAVE DESCENDED UPON US AND BROUGHT FIRE !
Wait WHAT?! THING'S STILL ALIVE?? Nice! Holy crap those are some very nice changes, I'll definitely be jumping in to try them
I really hope this game goes somewhere, I was so excited for release and it hurt so much that it seemed like you'd stopped development. Please do right by us who have stuck around.
Insane :O

i said LET HIM COOK
I am still of the opinion that the dev team leadership messed up so colossally bad. They should have listened to a majority of the closed alpha tester survey telling them to NOT release the game yet. and then they did it anyway. and took all the semi working features and gameplay out, which left the release with 10% of it's actual gameplay. I ended up leading a faction of 70/90 people (due to a funny joke.), whom i had to admit to that the game's release was just an empty husk of what it was during the closed alpha. every single one of them is gone, and i hope they found a better place. if this game can be restored to it's pre-release glory, i will sing all of it's praises again, until that happens, i can only wish what's left of the dev team the best of luck. o7 P.S "I'm not Recruiting." :^)

Fully agreed, Close alpha was miles ahead of current starbase. - Belt V1, was the best belt to mine in - Honestly we had more functionality, remember LOTS (althought not working fully) we could rent plots of space on a space station... - We had a functional market place ... - old loading of ships (you fully loaded up to 4 ships in your vacinity) which resulted in way better combat, not to mention not these "fake" explosions that are played.
Yes!! please continue. I am looking forward to it.
yes !!!! I'm so happy 😁 going to be awesome to have some stuff to play with !!
We're glad you're back!
We are so damn back, lets goo!
Man really rooting for this game! Glad to see it’s still alive after all this time.
Good to hear news, but where is Pip?
time to start relearn the editor and finish my ship designs. We are so back.
IM SO FREAKING PUMPED FOR THIS!
Great to see you're picking this back up again, I had incredible hopes for Starbase.
It would be awesome to see Starbase growing up like the Minecraft of space, it has huge potential!
Holy f...... this is amazing :O
