This video covers what was shown in the announcement video but was not said, but mostly goes over the huge Q&A session that happened afterward. So, really it was YOU that made this video, I just put it all together and sorted the questions into categories. Hopefully this will be a useful resource for those that have specific questions about features to see if they had already been asked and answered before. Enjoy.

[Universum.]

Nice video, glad someone put it all in one place.

[MinerBat]

24:12 the trade system already exists to some extent, i have used it before

[jeramyneeley]

Really happy to see that you also have alternatives to YT like bitchute. Loved the video.

[jasperagus]

It makes me so happy to see a wave of starbase content :D

[thegassify]

Sad we aren't getting the holograms for stations like we did in the closed alpha, one of my favorite memories is actually dragging built objects into hologram areas and watching them snap in, or taking a handheld printer and printing it via the ore.
Thanks for the video Xeno!

[tuckerfully]

Thank you for this I didn't see the FAQ

Just bought the game and it’s so niche it’s a crime. I wish devs steadfastness and luck to see this project through. This is worth it

23:55 Absolutely hilarious that they called buying storage ships a "blatant exploit" as if that's the real problem and not that they've given us horrendously limited storage space (not to mention ZERO organization options) in a game that requires ridiculously massive amounts of materials in order to accomplish anything noteworthy, and no in-game option to expand it (i.e. no CHESTS? Really??)

I really hope they follow through with these updates and that the game comes alive again, because I love this game, but I'm getting terribly bored after spending 750+ hours in this empty universe.

I really want to see a ship editor overhaul. As a newbie to the game, the complex ship editor feels incredibly fruatrating and time consuming to use. Its been suggested that something along the lines of From The Depths would work well, at least in terms of placing large amounts of blocks, i.e. walls and windows. I don't like spending several hours building a cockpit just to realize I spent half the time fiddling with panels and cables. That is my biggest issue with Starbase at the moment, but the vast majority of well rounded features otherwise makes me very happy. So glad this game isn't abandoned.

Great video xeno, thanks man… so excited that it’s back in business. I have a passion for this game like no other in history… so I have a couple things I want to ask, one of which might throw some shade on myself… I was banned a few years back over some dumb/immature stuff I said to someone in the discord over emotional debates about the game. I know they don’t have CMs anymore.. at least I think… and I haven’t seen the official server in quite some time, but badly want to return to be a part of the support. I still play, of course. I wondered if they would do something about letting people come back. I haven’t gotten word from my emails, guessing it’s because no community managers on the receiving end. Or maybe they just don’t like me. Surely those things can be forgiven over this amount of time I’d hope… also, I’m curious about balances in the game to kind of eliminate distasteful metas so that way these smaller fighters can be more viable. For example, the knight and spatha ships one of the devs worked so hard to make, and they are so so nice. Stuff like that, I’d like to see viable in a certain role, of course, as well as gun ships. I know they have spoke in the past about materials having strengths and weaknesses in the future.. some being more heat resistant than others. Maybe different weapons having different impacts on the plates.. of course, with this, we would want to limit plate spam of having sandwiches of plates.. unless it dramatically reduces speed, which brings me to my next concern about meta.. the walls of thrusters. I’ve heard Lauri has a plan about handling that from an outside discord from the official.. I would just love to see the game more friendly to rp type ships, even jn pvp. Wanna see a ship the size of a spatha with like two weapon systems able to contend with a bigger elitist current meta min maxer. If not just completely add new mechanics that get rid of that meta all together. So that way it’s not who’s square is bigger with more guns. any thoughts or seen any details from the devs? Thanks man.

I recently picked up starbase and I like it already, Im making a playthrough series as a noob lol

[checht]

Yeah Glorious Space Armada for the win! We coming back boys! We are definitely looking to capture territory, and secure our borders! Any ship that's got that magical Worlds Adrift theme to it can fly by us any day!

[otmt]

I had a small station somwhere in the wonder if its still there?

[black-tie]

Do you think this time they will continue development?

[TheYognaut]

The only thing that matters is whether there is more than 1 programmer hired back onto the team

[sandwichlizard]

as great a solution player designed navigation is/was, I always felt that it was a stop gap solution at best. it did not fit the backstory of the game. how the heck did we get to eos without starmaps?

[MrWoofWoof]

So I'm just listening to Nation stuff and I had an idea they might listen to you more than me but what about the ability to buy passports at border stations that will grant entry to national space way and when you have said pass port next time you don't have to do all the validations
