Starbase Test Universe Update 24.10.2024 - STU Build 10000662024-10-24Fixed a station server crash that sometimes happened when player exits station editor. Fixed a station server crash when station blueprint saving fails. Fixed a case of station saving erroneously failing. Prevented exiting the Station Editor via the menu during Station Replacement progress. Fixed a case where station replacement failed and deleted the station with it. Improvements and a possible fix for station object snapping for structures that are built from many smaller single pieces.

Starbase Test Universe Update 16.10.2024 - STU Build 10000622024-10-16New Siege feature: Station Foundation Security and Capital Security Field Generator. For Stations: - The Foundation Unit's station area will be automatically applied as the Secure Zone of the station when its loaded after the update. - During a Siege, players can respawn from the Foundation Unit (for now without restrictions or any sort of cooldown etc.) - The middle area (that is last to be captured) is surrounded by a "safezone" field, that protects all objects inside from damage, but does not protect players from damage. - Also blocks hostile and neutral players from entering, only those that chose your side for the Siege can enter. For Ca
Starbase Test Universe Update 07.10.2024 - STU Build 10000602024-10-07You can now remove station access rights to other player's stations for yourself in station menus. Fixed lag and short freeze when opening the personal window (ex. via H, O or J), when player had access to many player's stations. Optimized station device data, fixing Capital ship statistics in the resource and fast travel terminals not showing due to very many devices connected in a large network. - Fixed large resource amounts being improperly reported by the station utility grid terminal. Fixed Capital Ship integrity issues that were caused by parts poorly choosing the area they belong to when overlapping area borders. Added a chat error if
Starbase Test Universe Update 26.9.2024 - STU Build 10000592024-09-26Shadowrealm workaround implemented. - Improvements made to the limiting of initial connection amounts present in previous implementations as well. - We can now configure this limit serverside without patching, so it can be changed on the fly if necessary. - There will be a new Shadowrealm community test soon, see a post about it in discord later. Station's Class is now shown consistently at stations and via Siege Panels once the whole station is loaded after this patch. Fixed Siege panels to correctly check player's Navigation Chips for Siegeable stations around a 200km radius of the coordinates, instead of players having to visit faraway sta
Starbase Test Universe Update - STU build 10000582024-09-12Fixed Recycling tool being unable to recycle parts that were made up of non-default materials. Fixed parts with non-default materials having incorrect armor values when dropped into the world. Improvements and optimizations to station designers when working with large amount of objects (moving, copying, deleting, etc.) "Open or manage blueprints" dialog is now closed after a station blueprint replace operation has been selected. Fixed replacing a station with a max size blueprint getting the designer stuck in loading. Potential fix for station devices freezing computers with low available threads. Fixed stations replaced with a blueprint some
Starbase Test Universe Hotfix 05.09.2024 - STU Build 10000572024-09-05Fixed Capital Ship building area claim working only once per editor session. Fixed the editor building area claim message to accurately tell the amount of areas that player can claim. Fixed some station objects not supporting Decals. (even legacy objects support them now.) Fixed Decal limit being hit erroneously in Station editors by just placing objects when not near the building limit.
Starbase Test Universe Update - STU build 10000562024-09-04Patch notes below. New Features Event tab (Found in the personal UI, same UI level as crafting, stations, etc) Shows all upcoming and active Sieges in the Universe. Siege can be right clicked to open a map view of where the Sieged station is. Additionally in progress or upcoming Sieges are also shown in the Galaxy Map temporarily for its duration, even if you have not discovered the station for yourself. However, there is no indicator yet in the map for a station that will be sieged, no timer or in progress icon, so currently, cross referencing with the Event menu is necessary. Decal tool for station editors. Same functionality and Decal list
Starbase STU Update 26.07.2024 - STU Build 10000542024-07-26Patch notes: Increased the limit of initial connection requests that is part of shadowrealm fixes Improvements to ship lod updating, ex. ships showing damaged lods post repair - Ships that are split into many ships and those build in universe should now have lods too (these still disappear though if not claimed and get unhosted) Fixed players being unable to start ship warps on ships not hosted by them

Further optimizations and fixes for the Module Server.

Fixed crash caused by reconstruction machine on a sieged player station. Fixed siege not being immediatel

Starbase STU Update 10.07.2024 - STU Build 10000472024-07-16Fixed another invisible UI in the Station Editors. - Due to this fix, the station editor UI boxes will reset to their default sizes and orientations after this update. Fixed ctrl + a being able to select capital ship dock corner holograms in capital ship designer. Made temporary changes to P2P connections: - This will likely cause increased latency, but will help us to pinpoint the "shadow realm" issue's origin depending whether or not it still occurs.
Starbase STU Update 10.07.2024 - STU Build 10000452024-07-10Patch notes: Station blueprints now have a max file size, so the very biggest of stations may not be able to be saved or used to replace stations anymore. - As such, very large stations may get the "Station too large to perform blueprint operation." error, even if otherwise within building budget limits. - However, we have optimized station data usage slightly, with more significant tweaks to come in the future, so the max limits shouldn't be so easy to reach. - If you run into the error now, we ask for your patience as we will alleviate this issue in the future with further fixes Fixed using reconstruction machine sometimes sending players i

Major Test Universe Update2024-06-25It's time for our first Starbase update in quite some time and it's a pretty big one! All of you who have purchased Starbase now have a separate app in your Steam library called "Starbase Test Universe" aka the STU, and it is now open.

Can warp to a map target, warp ping, navigation chip location or pointing a ship at a direction and manually determining wa
Starbase Development Continues2024-04-26We'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.
