Starbase Early Access Update 12.12.2022 (EA Build 919)



Patch notes:

- Capital Ship Fast Travel Core charge requirement removed

This drastically reduces time required to start long distance warps, as only the capital ship shield generator needs to be charged. Waiting for hours is gone!

Cargo Crisis Event + Tournament & Development News



[h2]Cargo Crisis Event Info[/h2]
It's been some time since the last cargo event, so this Sunday (Dec 11th) the Merchants at the Moon Merchant Haven on Elysium will need some help! They are now expecting several cargo shipments, fortifications, and perhaps a ship needing escort assistance between 20:00-22:00 UTC.

Event Location: Between Elysium Moon City & Moon Merchant Haven Station

  • You can get to Moon City using the Fast Travel Gate from Origins
  • Moon Merchant Haven station has a transponder and is around 50km away from Moon City
