Starbase News

Hey fellow endos! It's time to rumble. A lot of new players have joined Starbase and many of you haven't had much PVP experience, so this is a chance to change that!

What is Robur Rumble? A free-for-all pvp event where you get to participate in a (hopefully) massive battle with ships
Where? Robur Station, Live Universe
When? Sunday June 5th, 19:00 UTC

You will be provided 5 vouchers for a blueprint of your choosing, if you fill the voucher sign up form below:

Robur Station is located close to the Origins and has a shared inventory with Origin stations, meaning you can spawn ships you have in your Origin storage at Robur. It also has infinite-range insurance transfer terminals located inside the Ship Designer buildings.

This is a chance for anyone to join in on a big PVP battle, with easy access and no farming required.

Note: Don't use this event as a way to request a free 100M ship. We can check those things. Just bring some fighter or battleship and blow stuff up. Thank you and see you on Sunday!

...and finally, we are also working on the F1 tickets still of course. Thanks for your patience.

Patch type: Hotfix

- Potential bugfix for ships getting lost from Capital Ship hangar halls

Also as you may have read from the in-game news or Discord, a lot of Capital Ships/Stations got stuck in a LOD state after last weekend's server trouble.

We are working on reimbursing these with ores by going through the F1 tickets, but there is still quite a big backlog of other reports as well, and few people doing the reimbursements.

Sorry for the wait, we hope to get to all the F1 reports as soon as possible.

Note: the same update also released on the PTU server. No separate PTU patch notes will be posted as the same changelog applies.
