Starbase recently got a new update that made some changes and fixed bugs. One of the major changes is related to the Tripod and Tripod autocannon, which now add 20 tons of weight to the ship. This can cause structural damage for small ships if too many objects are added to them.
The developers also fixed an issue where ships were unusable/unresponsive that made it annoying for players to travel around the map. Additionally, the crafting and research objective of the game has tons of new content for players to discover.
