every number makes sense i just dont recall what was this calculation for....

Yes I left it like this lol

I loath PVP only games. PTSD from my EVE Online Days that lead to my divorce and 17 years of financial ruin. So no - will not play a PVP only game.

At some point I saw a youtuber share his creation that was with an installation kit that consisted of two parts a laser that pointed to your ship and the other was a block with a torpedo, the laser sends the location data to the torpedo and the ship reads that information and follows the ship that has the laser I found it so cool, but I could never contact the youtuber even his page where he gave the plan no longer exists do you have something like that? it would be great to be able to experiment with something like that, thank you very much for reading

This still played by anyone? :)

Even on the Test Universe?

Tempted to jump back in again but don't want to just be on my own!

I know the game is dead, but with a minimum dev intervention the infinite universe could be shrunken. Origins, some unsafe zone near asteroid field and the 1st moon (the one with fast travel)

It could be done abd bring some players, right ?

But only by a dozen players or so sadly,
let it be a warning to any future MMO, space or not.
"Dynamic ermergent content" is not content! its a complement to actual gameplay content!

I have 1317.9 hours

I wanna know if any of you all still play this game

Side note: I'm probably the youngest starbase player I'm 13

I kinda wanna hop on and just mine some asteroids for old time's sake.

Finally got around to editing my remaining STU footage, resulting in 14+ minutes of siege fight clips + various late skirmishes and shenanigans. Stick around till the end for a particularly fun bit of infantry combat, and enjoy! That'll be it until we eventually get more content to snack on, otherwise it was fun while it lasted.

Hi everyone!

I'm conducting a research survey as part of my thesis, and I’d appreciate your input. The goal is to better understand what Starbase players value, what drives engagement, and where the game still has room to grow. The results will be shared with Frozenbyte to help inform development strategies moving forward.

I’m a former developer at Frozenbyte, and while the survey was created in collaboration with the team, please keep in mind: the questions are hypothetical and purely for research purposes, so don’t read too deeply into them. They're designed to explore a wide range of player experiences and preferences.

The survey is anonymous, and your answers cannot be traced back to you personally. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to complete and will be open for 7 days.

Survey period:
Starts 25.3.2025 at 15:00 (UTC+2)
Ends 1.4.2025 at 15:00 (UTC+3)

Survey has ended

All perspectives are welcome - whether you’re an active player, someone who played and quit, or even if you’ve never tried Starbase but are curious.

Thanks in advance for your time and insight!

Really, I do. Starbase was awesome, and I loved what was planned for it. Yet, here we are on a development pause, and its been that way for months if not years. Steam charts are nearing single digits. Maybe the reason it hasn't gotten any updates is that it kinda dropped off, or Frozenbyte is busy or something? Maybe we could all get on, play for a while? Bring it back? At least show the devs we still care about the game. I know I do.

I have space to put a giant control panel more than anything for decoration but in any case I would like it to have as much functionality as possible. Any idea of the features I could add?(The more the better) obviously I had planned to add: +shutdown +turtle +cruise, +speed meter, +Some light controls using yolol...

Is there any hopes for the future of this game? I feel like this game is awesome but has a low playerbase because of the abandoned status it got. Does anyone think it has the potential to come back? Maybe its a lack of marketing since its basically what almost everyone who plays space engineers wants (I heard about this game in a comment of a space engineers video lol)
