Starside Weekly - 01.30.2026
[p]As we are writing this update, we should mention a service interruption: Our camera is being a bit temperamental, disconnecting from characters. We're investigating now, and we'll open the servers as soon as we have a fix. Stay tuned by watching Discord, X, Bluesky, or /r/starsreach.[/p][p][/p][h3]THAT’S NO MOON v7.1.1[/h3][p]We smoothed out a number of problems around Haven including the juvenile Ballhogs escaping from confinement in the hospital, the target dummies moving around in the shooting gallery, the bank kiosk in the Bank of Haven, the moving survey point in the park, and the disappearing grappler.[/p][p]We also fixed some things unrelated to Haven. The gravity generators seams in the Transplanetary League Starbase should be much better. We added crafting tables to the starbase too. We changed when we award you the Trowel recipe (when you unlock the Seed Planting skill box.)[/p][p]Reminder: you must create a new character to experience the Haven part of That’s No Moon – the new player experience. Existing characters cannot go to Haven.[/p][p][/p][h3]WHAT REDBEARDFLYNN IS EXCITED ABOUT 2026[/h3][p]Everyone could use a heaping helping of optimism right now, and thankfully, Redbeardflynn is ready to serve some up![/p][p]In a new video, he features 15 MMO games to look forward to in 2026. It's likely no mystery why we're sharing it this week. (Spoiler: We got a lovely mention!)[/p][p]We're thrilled to see Stars Reach on the list, and we're in fantastic company. This year's going to be exceptionally good for MMOs![/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p] [/p][h3]CONTROLLED CHAOS IS EXCITED ABOUT STARS REACH IN 2026[/h3][p]Controlled Chaos gives us his list of top five things he hopes to see happen in or added to Stars Reach in 2026. We can’t disagree with any of them. They sound great.[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p] [/p][h3]MMORPG COVERS NEW PLAYER TUTORIAL BASE ON HAVEN[/h3][p]Christina describes how the tutorial works and what to expect on Haven. She explains how this section fits into the greater Stars Reach experience by teaching you important basics. She also mentions other improvements outside of Haven such as chat upgrades.[/p][p]![]()
