Seriously kenetor, how do you not have more subs by now? You've been running these for the better part of a year now, yeah? Either way, this game is getting very close to early access and it's very exciting!

On Kenetor’s birthday we need to celebrate his birthday in his discord.

Getting closer and closer to alpha release, hopefully it gets here soon. Looking forward to putting the game through its paces and testing everything.

Great suggestion, add LOS(line of sight) mechanics to the mining tractor beam, so that it could only function if not blocked by other objects such as floaty rocks or other parts of your ship. This would make mining ship design a little bit harder (IE not being able to place the tractor beam inside the ship behind armor plating) and efficient ship positioning while mining more important. Hope this reaches the right ears. It wouldn't be extremely hard to implement, a basic system could be added in a day or two I believe, a collision/overlap detection on the ray "bullets" could suffice, ignoring collisions from the emitter and target player of course. Cheers and great job!

That first section on monetization is extremely relieving. I was a little scared of cosmetics becoming locked behind a paywall, and seeing Lauri's message about fair pricing for cosmetics is great.

I am exited to find and break the limits of the unpossible in Starbase.

Holy Cow! I just discovered this game and wow... this is exciting! I’m a console player, but it still looks cool. Keep up the great work man👍

I would love a ftl warp drive that takes lots and lots of power but you can go faster then light so like if you have a small mining ship you will have to deal with non ftl movements as it would cost to much but if you do a lot more then you can have a ftl drive

too bad, kenetor. this week's *my* birthday

[paulkerr]

I swear to god i thought the thumbnail was some sort of meme on gallente ships from eve online

[FrankensteinV]

Weeks and weeks of empire stations? Did i miss something? are there links to those?

[luketanker]

Part of me wants to join Kingdom cause it looks like 'Murica But i also like Empire

[Boomdude]

Ah the SE route but a bit less evil, also *cough* EA * cough* is amazing.

[Dumb-Comment]

Only one problem which concerns me, how big can you build your ship

[TheDragonfriday]

Honestly I think the game should have 1 more year before releasing on steam

[crystalclearchaos]

If saws are in the game Dose this mean the hand lazer cutter is doomed to be lost

[aaronkok]

Cant wait for this game, going to need to upgrade my pc though.
