Starbound

[Dr J]

Who here is playing Starbound now that the beta has started? I'm just waiting for it to finish downloading myself, then I'm diving right in!

 

[KarlaKGB]

Gallows and I were playing on my local server.

 

[Dr J]

I just finished, roughly, a 5 hour mulitplayer session with two friends and my bro[two humans, an ape, and a bird xD]. We had oodles of fun.

Note: Stay the hell off ice planets until you have thermal undies or something.. you freeze fast. I learned that the hard way and had to flee an ice planet I wanted to explore.

 

[Psydye]

I definitely want this game more than anything(well, almost anything....still wanting the 3DS which should be arriving in the mail quite soon *is ever impatient!*, and of course, the WW HD edition Wii U..).

 

[Alienfish]

Kinda wanting it.. someday. Need to save for a new 3DS and other stuff for now

 

[Dr J]

I'd consider buying it before it goes up in price once the full release is out.

edit: it's totally worth the money, though it feels like armour isn't doing much right now lol [I'm sure that'll be fixed eventually]

 

[Jennifer]

I've been playing it on and off by myself... that's about it.

 

[KarlaKGB]

So progression is a lot less chaotic now following the weapon/armour rework. Still I don't want to play too much because of more character resets to come.

 

[oath2order]

Yeah, I'm having fun building, but I dun wanna do too much.

Ah well, resets are only natural, eh?

 

[Dr J]

The resets should only happen during phase 1 of the beta. After that, our characters should survive until the end of beta from that point on.

 

[oath2order]

Any idea on how long phase 1 gon' be?

 

[Dr J]

I would venture a guess of anywhere between a month to two months. Possibly three months. Though the Chucklefish devs don't intend to be on phase 1 for too long, I'm sure.

edit: ..wth happened to my title??

 

[oath2order]

Yeah, I can imagine XD

So, any advice for fighting the spaceship? What rewards do you get for killing it?

Here's my base by the way. I'm probably gonna move crafting stations aboard my ship. Also, what happens if you break the windows on your ship?

 

[KarlaKGB]

You get the Molten core, which allows you to craft the Metalworking Station, this unlocks the next tier of gear, but more importantly, lets you craft the item that unlocks the Beta galaxy (ie. the next set of levels)

 

[oath2order]

Oh, so something I really shouldn't worry about considering the eventual reset.

Sounds good then XD

 

[Dr J]

I got passed the newest boss in a day of playing. It really doesn't take long to tech up in Starbound right now. Also, just face tank the UFO once your wearing the top armor for tier 1. He won't do much damage[try to avoid getting hit as much as possible, of course].

The new jellyfish boss is pretty cool, though the boss CLEARLY needs some work yet.

 

[Kahzel]

My girlfriend is buying Starbound for me for Christmas, i'm gonna play the heck out of it, and having people to play it will be aswesome!~

 

[Puddle]

Starbound is looking very promising.

 

[Dr J]

One last character wipe and then we shouldn't have to fear losing all our precious wasted hours in Starbound ever again! I can't wait!

 

[oath2order]

Once this last character wipe happens, I'll be playing again Can't wait. I want to get the custom spaceship mod. It looks awesome!
