    This game sounds really cool:

    "At the core of Starbase is a sophisticated crafting system that simulates materials down to the level of individual bolts. Players won’t merely clip together new spaceships from a collection of ready-made parts. Instead, they’ll need to design their hulls from scratch and route intricate power and control systems all throughout the ship. Adding to the complexity, damage done to individual ship locations happens at the same level of detail."

    Announcement Trailer: LINK

    Polygon's Article on it: LINK

    This has my interest. What about everyone else?

    what people cooperating in a mmoish building game? FAKE!

    looks interesting though expect it to play more like spacestation 13 though, ;p fingers cross they get space ahole for the theme song that would be histaricle.

    I haven't had a chance to look too much in to it, but I would think they have some type of clan/guild system to filter out toxic players. Otherwise, yeah, this is going to be hell lol

    First time hearing of Space Engineers. They do look awfully similar. Though, I am favoring this mainly because I loved their Trine series :D

    I have a few hundred hours in Space Engineers so this looks a bit interesting to me, although I enjoy SE for the singleplayer building part of the game.... does this game have a singleplayer mode?

    *edit*

    ohh... nvm, I looked at the steam page, it just says online mmo.. that's a shame.

    *editit*

    It seems that it will have a sandbox mode that can be played singleplayer :D

    This video is cool, it shows how the building mechanics work... really liking how the whole building the skeleton and then putting panels over it looks, very different to space engineers which you just basically put square blocks together.

    If this game had enemy ai to fight against in singleplayer it would be perfect imo.... *__*

  8. Yep, looks good. They put a lot of thought into it. The biggest question is... will it be fun?

    Thanks for sharing this! They have a whole series of videos that talk about coding, engines, and so on. Some fascinating stuff. I will add them to my OP once I catch a break from my move.

    That was pretty cool, I particularly liked when the player switched to fps combat because his ship got damaged.

    Really wish this game would just release now xD

    Preach! Something about this game (combination of colors and music maybe) that makes it very peaceful to watch/play.
     
  15. The complexity and endless design choices are just breathtaking :)

    Amazing. It will be fascinating to see what players come up with once this game is out. There is going to be some very weird and creative ships out there lol

    One thing all these build your vehicle games haven't done "that I know of".... that would be really awesome, is if there was a gameplay mechanic of also building a player held weapon from various parts in the same way games like Space Engineers.. or this Starbase allows people to do with Spaceships... with how you put it together affecting it's overall performance, like fire rate, ammunition type, overheating, weight... things like that, that would be fun, especially for a game like Starbase where it's about building.

    Something like this? :) (jump to 8:30)


    Weapon building was the best part about the game. I hope they will add it here, with some more granularity and fine detail.
