@Lowkee1g One-time payment only, no subscriptions planned! There might be some cosmetics for players to purchase further down the line, but that's not coming to the game anytime soon.

@BartZArific Sorry, currently the only way to sign-up as a potential tester is to fill out our Alpha sign-up form:
It's not a guarantee that you'll get an invitation, but we save all answers with for future testing waves in mind.
@JmanDD Closed Alpha is still limited to a small number of testers, but we have a sign-up form here that you can fill, which increases your chances of being selected in some of the next waves:
@inq_Savonarola Sorry, no Xbox version being planned at the moment. 😢 For now Starbase is PC/Windows only.
@Solearo You can fill our new Alpha sign-up form:
Filling the form doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get a key, but it's the best way to let us know you'd like to join and to make sure we have a way to easily contact you!😉
A new #Starbase video is here! This video is a showcase of the beautiful soundtrack of the game. Enjoy!
@Wonziu Hi Maciej, the alpha is still limited to a small number of people, but we have a survey which you can fill out here which will increase your chances of being selected in some of the next waves:
With the Starbase closed alpha underway, one daring explorer has reached the moon!
@Frozenbyte Bob wants you to come check out his newly modified ship!

We are now streaming Starbase Alpha live on Twitch! Come join us! 🚀
@__The_Wrench__ Not sure if you can use the Steam music player directly on your phone, but you can download the album on your harddrive after purchase and transfer the files on your phone.
@Mrmaxter11 Sorry, there's no exact ETA yet for the Early Access release, but the plan is still to release during 2020.🙂
Starbase Official Soundtrack Vol. 1 is now available for purchase on Steam! The soundtrack contains 23 tracks with a total play time of 2 hours 28 minutes. Happy listening!
@Kruzil Shouldn't be any features that have been entirely scrapped, but many have gotten improvements/been changed from the state they were first shown in. For example the mining cycle has gone through changes and will likely continue doing so through Alpha and EA.
Progress = made
Starbase Progress Notes have been posted on the forums, lot's of pictures and videos included so take a look!
@PVallum The starting area of the game is very large and currently contains 1 gas planet, several moons and an asteroid ring, which is about 2000 km in radius. Getting to the moons takes days 😄 Eventually the game area will expand to entire galaxies, but this is the start.
@Kruzil Glad to hear you enjoyed them! 😄 Some anomalies with the shadows/rendering in general will likely remain until late EA, but the most noticeable issues get a higher priority. So it's on the fix list but can't promise it'll be perfect before CA/EA.
@Kruzil @Frozenbyte @starbase They're walking during the first 5-6 seconds of the video, the rest seems to be sprinting. Running isn't the fastest method of getting around - turning off mag boots and floating or investing in a Vasama to fly inside stations is definitely faster.
