You guys are so mean :P

That starbase looks damned menacing, though!

Also, "feature creep" means they keep adding new stuff ;)

... I think I figured out what it can do.

Look very carefully at what's around it.  TEC structures.  We see it blasting a TEC Communications Tower with violet lightning.  Now, would there be TEC structures around if this thing took that long to build in a system?  I mean it could just be for demonstration purposes but...

Ladies and Gentlement, I think that thing can move.  As in from system to system.  My god.  That's no moon; that's a Vasarai homeworld.

Well, you can deploy any starbase in a hostile grav well ;)

Now wait until you see what that StarBase can do...

It does something, besides look mean and shoot a lot? Vasari are all about "Phaaaase space", so maybe it can indeed travel between Grav wells.

If that's the case, it makes you wonder what TEC and Advent starbases do, TEC's might act as a node in trade routes, with a "+whole lot" to trade, and Advent's might act as a super powered culture center. Do we have a dedicated speculation thread BTW?

 

another BTW, can you name starbases like capital ships?

hey blair... great work wiith the game, and entrechment. cant wait!!!!

 

one question though.. and one i'm hoping to god you'll answer... is there a possibility we'll get to play the beta before/during christmas break? i pre-ordered and am dying to get my hands on that beta.

 

love the game so much! hell i bought 2 copies just the other day to give as gifts to family members lol.

What I want to know is...........................................................

is there even a remote possibility that the beta could be released by X-MAS BREAK??????????

I would be happy just to know this.  And I would understand and realize that that answer would not be set in stone and could be moved.

Just an inkling of an answer.

Sooooo many people are asking for the beta by or during Christmas Break...!!!!! I think we all would like that...but let's not get too greedy now...Craig can put us all on the naughty list and decide to release it afterwards...

Take your time...

But seriously...Christmas Break would be lovely...or even before (lol?)

Thanks,

development time is money. it is in their best interest to get it out sooner rather than later so long as the quality of the release is not adversely affected. so by not releasing it to some, they are depriving themselves of potentially valuable feedback on their product, which is probably the last thing they want to do.

Not getting greedy, would just love something to dig my heels into during that nice long X-MAS break.  Would hate to spend the entire time play Warhammer Online.  Would LOVE TO SPEND that time playing Entrenchment instead.

Did anybody else notice all of those missles coming out of phase space? Is that the secret or can the starbase act as a phase gate as well?

That would suck for the other guy. "Hey man, not only do I have a damn starbase in your grav well screwing with you, my whole fleet can quickly jump to it from anywhere! HA!"

Wow, no one could tell my sarcasm...(I'm one of those greedy people I mentioned but only for this lol)?
