Hello everyone, this is my first blog and it will be dedicated to the game, which is currently in alpha testing, namely Starbase.
Starbase is a cosmic MMO sandbox, which has a non -standard mixture for the current games of different mechanics: from sources and p2p, to mixing Voxel Vertex . As you can understand, this game about spacecraft, resource production and battle, and at least according to this description it already resembles other space games, but it is distinguished by the fact that you can create not simple ships, but you can work out every little thing in them, make a replica of your favorite ship (if the developers add more types of glass, Argh) or even create a ship with Blackjacks and . oh the wrong one.
Starbase is a space mmo sandbox about space construction, using unique technology of Voksel -Vertex construction and generation of the world. This game is about spacecraft, the extraction of resources and battles in space, and it is literally a hybrid of everything that we know about games such as Eve Online, Rust and Space Engineers. It is distinguished by the fact that the construction system here is a very complex and the smallest detail is not a small cube, but a simple riveting that everything is attached here is distinguished by it. Thanks to such scalability, you can work on the ship every little thing on the ship and build almost any replica.
Frozenbyte developers hope that the community of the game will work harmoniously and will be able to create grandiose projects. The developers themselves also do not sit back and help the players, organizing frequent events for them, and t.p., To test the game with large clusters of players and mass-PVP, making it more stable each time and removing most of the bugs and lags.
However, the barrels of honey do not exist without a spoon of tar. After reading to this moment, it might seem to you that a revolution occurred in the game industry and the Eve Online killer came to us, but this is not so. The fact is that the developers who first declared complete freedom of action in the game, then looked at how the players use this freedom and began to behave to extremely strange. For example, after one player caught up with another player on his way to the Moon and killed there (in Starbase, the distance between the nearest objects is truly cosmic, and from the planet to the moon you can fly a week or even more) – they built cyclopic sizes of acceleration gates, which reduce the path from the starting station to the moon from 48 hours to 10 minutes. At the exit from the warp – players will be continued to continue the safe saysfzone to the very lunar surface. That is, in fact, the already large safezone was inflated – to the very moon, making it clear to the players that such protracted chases and “vile” killings on the surface of the moon (although in fact, this is a very interesting content that the community generates itself) is not for Starbase.
This was the first alarming bell. But then there was still the hope that all these safezones were just for the alpha test, and that in the future the game would be free and chic in this regard, like Eve Online. Yeah. It was not there. The second bell rang when Lauri (CEO Frozenbyte) issued the first edition of the rules in which he called the Grifter all social engineering and forbade everything that falls under this term. Including inter-plane espionage, theft of other people’s things, luring people out of the safe for their murder, any backstage policy and bekstabs (using the traitor in the clan/alliance of rights and roles to destroy this clan/alliance, or harm him) as well as any entry of one player to the other player to get any "ugly" advantage.
Players took such rules to bayonets and almost all the Starbase PVP-comedy immediately turned 180 degrees and left the game forever. Now there are only 2 fractions that position themselves as a PVP – it is Substrate and True Chemosh Cult (who had previously played Eve Online under the name The Cobrastan Cult). The latter is pirates, the main accumulation of Russian -speaking players in Starbase, who committed the first murder in the Moon in the game. Because of which they introduced Seyfzon and created the rules with the prohibition of any social engineering in the space game-woman. Which, it would seem, have a grandiose potential for any (absolutely any) social engineering – initially it was written in the family.
This was the second bell, thanks to which the game lost almost all of its PVP-comet. Only the advocates of the Honest PVP remained, and a bunch of Russian -speaking pirates, which still do not lose hope of convincing the developer of the detriment of the path they have chosen.
The third bell rang recently. And Sweety Win Casino login he was the last bell for many. The bottom line is this. The player under the nickname Messir (the head of True Chemosh Cult) came as an ambassador to the Empire fraction (hereinafter – the Empire), which is an analogue of NPC corporations from Eve Online, but only with the difference that in Starbase it is controlled by the developers themselves and Lauri is its "emperor".
However, instead of respectful reception, as is accepted even among the diplomats hostile to each other, one of the developers (Villefb) and part -time empire managers – without thinking, violated the rules, calling his guest with obscenity words and demonstrating him complete contempt and disrespect, t.e. This is a toxic behavior that is unacceptable even for an ordinary player and in any other situation would be punished with a bank. And here the developer himself violates the rules and publicly humiliates the player who came to him. Douses with complete contempt and disrespect of the one who did so much for this game. Moreover, it is not clear from whose face he speaks, from his personal, from the whole empire, or the boorish position of this employee can be understood as the position of Frozenbyte himself.
Above in the screenshot one of the manifestations of extreme disrespect from the developer to Messir. Not the only one. Never before the developers allowed themselves to talk with players in this tone. And here – the player is no longer able to take a presumptuous divolmate schoolboy from the girl’s faction, because the developer will come immediately and send the player obscenities, brazenly saying that this is not toxic, toxic player.
Recall that largely thanks to the player of Messir – in the game the cohesive Ru -community appeared as such (he stood at the origins of its formation, organized all the sites for him), it was Messir who organized the translation of the entire official Vika Starbase into Russian, translating most of the articles personally, it is the translation of the player of the Messir that is now used by the developers in the officiallocalization (he was simply copied by other translators), and so on. The author of this text – relations with this person did not work out (because he is very demanding of his associates and rarely forgives stupid mistakes), but to deny his grandiose contribution to the game, the community and to the popularization of Starbase among Russian -speaking players – it is impossible and impossible. This is such a person who could not sleep for several days only to translate all the news on the game, and tell about it as many players in other games similar in the genre, and so on. His merits were recognized by CEO Frozenbyte, who gave the personal order to give Messir a key to access to the closed alpha test Starbase. Out of turn, in a special order, so to speak.
And now one of the subordinates of this CEO – violates all the rules and douses the player with platform abuse and dirt, humiliates him and gives him to understand what he is for him – no one. Realizing perfectly well that the player will not be able to answer him, because the position of the developer in his own game is incomparable with the position of a simple player in it.
And this despite the fact that even the smallest separation of people in gender orientation, views, nationalities, etc. – Very harshly suppressed by the developers themselves. Against this background, it was quite wild to see such a wild and uncontrolled anger from the developer, who did not even think to limit himself to ordinary abuse and with great diligence publicly humiliated the innocent player, only for the fact that he is Russian and has a slightly different style of play than the empire itself (empire).
Because of this, due to numerous non-explained prohibitions, due to the fact that the entire interesting pirate gameplay was recognized as “vulture”-the Russian-speaking community raised a small, quiet, but riot. The last pirates and PVP players remaining in the game decided that the developers want to squeeze them all into a vice to turn the game with enormous opportunities for social interaction and boundless space as in Eve Online – into a continuous PVE zone, where there will be only “honest PVP” and only by agreement, and for any “sudden attack” (sudden attack, campus, spying, spyingPiracy and any social engineering) – Ban will immediately follow.
Messir even stated that he plans to leave the game after such an attitude towards himself and what he did. The entire True Chemosh Cult clan announced the transition from Starbase to Dual University.
A little indignant quotes from the Russian -speaking community:
"The battles only by agreement in the playwoman game, ugh! There is no such thing even in the most Nuban game in the world!"" And this is presented to us as a cosmic game-songwriter?"" What is the point of adding saysfzone suppression, if you can not attack the station?"
"What?! And how do you want us to play it if we are prohibited by all social engineering in the open world and openly stated that you want to make comfort and safety for everyone?! You are idiots. "
"You can not spy, steal, kill and pirate? Lol, how then to play it in general? : D "
"Bann for griffing and espionage? Lol, then this is not MMO with the open world and sandbox. This is generally something completely incomprehensible. A game that is made to forbid her to be a game. Rave"
"This is then not MMO at all. This is more like a private PV server minecraft "
"How will they follow the espionage?"" Ah, well, everything is clear with them. The impression is that in Eve they were hassed caribasses, which everyone around had and kicks "
"You can’t spy, you can’t steal, lure the noobs behind the safe to kill there – you can’t. Nothing can be. In general, any social engineering, abusing trust/naivety/ignorance, to get an advantage, etc.p. – Forbidden. And this is the type "Cosmic MMO of the new generation"? Type "Pesa Game with the Open World?"" "
"Great. Thank you, don’t. Go to hell "
And so on. Players rebel, but their developers defiantly refuse to listen to them.
Well, the last negative point is of course the release of the game into early access, or rather its absence. Due to the fact that the game is still not ready for the transition from a closed alpha testing to early access, and the developers announced the transfer of the release date too late (earlier they promised that they would release the game in the first quarter of 2021, and before they promised to finish the alpha testing in 2020), the deadlines for Starbase are now delayed for an indefinite period. And most of all, people who did not want to participate in alpha testing and waiting for early access reacted to this. Or those who are simply not invited to the alpha test, although they promised to call 2 years ago.
What will happen to the game further? We don’t know. But it is already clear that there is no "dark side", no scam, piracy, Kidalov and other things – there will never be and will never be there. Therefore, if you want to play a space villain in the game, then do not wait for Starbase. Better go to Eve Online or Dual University.
Because in Starbase, on the one hand, you will have the endless opportunities to do everything that you only want to do right under your hand, but on the other hand, you will simply be banned for using these opportunities. Because what is allowed and what the game itself is pushed to is prohibited by the rules and Eula. Why then they introduced the capabilities and the genre of "sandbox and MMO"? It is not clear to us.
Very tragic and sad story. It seems that Starbase will be the next stillborn project that died by the stupidity of the developers themselves.
So far, players are not allowed to fully enjoy the game. And it is not known whether they will give.
