Starbase News

Patch notes below.

[h2]New Features[/h2]
[h3]Event tab (Found in the personal UI, same UI level as crafting, stations, etc)[/h3]

• 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.
  
  

[h3]Decal tool for station editors.[/h3]

• Same functionality and Decal list as in SSC.
  
• Station Paint tool was also updated for decal coloring and now matches the SSC's variant.
  
• Paint tool now refers to "objects" rather than "ship parts".
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Significant module data optimizations, making it much harder to hit the size cap (or crash the module servers)
  - This should make loading and editing faster as well
  - However these changes affect only newly made/re-added stations/station parts. (replace with an old blueprint won't optimize the station either)
  
• Fixed freeze and performance issues when charging a warp with a spaceship that had a massive amount of propellant.
  
• Fixed "No FCU" -ship warp error blocking other errors from being shown.
  
• If an in progress ship warp is interrupted for any reason, a warp beacon is now always generated at the location where it finished.
  
• Fixed a crash that was related to being a passenger on a warping ship.
  
• Fixed ship warp menu and ship binding menus disappearing if pressing R while grabbing them.
  - Fixed the ESC menu breaking due to grab staying active as well.
  
• Fixed Durability view switching to integrity view when hovering over any of the durability cubes.
  
• Fixed a case of errors and crash happening when moving parts in station editors.
  
• Fixed being unable to create a new Capital Ship to an empty dock when another Capital was already docked on the station.
  
• Fixed an edge case of Capital Ship docks not detecting the Capital Ship inside, prompting player to create a new one in an already occupied dock.
  
• It is now possible to claim station areas in Station Planner/Station Editors without having to leave the editor.
  
• Disallowed manipulating active factory halls inside station editors.
  
• Improvements to the consistency of warp beacons appearing in the Galaxy Map.
  

Starbase STU Update 22.07.2024 - STU Build 1000051

• Potential fixes for the shadowrealm issue.
  
• Further optimizations and fixes for the Module Server.
  

Previous patch fixes in builds 1000048-1000050

• Optimized Module server data usage and performance
  
• Fixed a bug where station parts would get deleted and editing the station would cause server disconnect due to parts outside of station zone.
  
• Removed Ghidorah Mk2 and Mooray ships from SSC premade folder due to creator requests.
  
• Fixed empty capital ship at station dock causing siege to never end.
  
• Fixed crash caused by reconstruction machine on a sieged player station.
  
• Fixed siege not being immediately repeatable with STU settings due to post-siege protection.
  
• Fixed ships spawning to wrong location from hangars in some coordinates.
  
• Improved reconstruction machine respawning reliability.
  

Please let us know how the player interactions are working, and whether you experience any shadowrealm issues.

Location: Origin Gate, server TBD
