Star Atlas Unveils "Starbased": A New Era of Galactic Expansion

Star Atlas, the space-themed MMO, is set to launch "Starbased" on April 2nd, introducing a new update to the SAGE Labs module. This eagerly anticipated phase promises to revolutionize gameplay with the introduction of starbases.

Introducing Starbased: A New Phase of Galactic Expansion

"Starbased" invites players to upgrade and maintain their starbases, heralding a new era of galactic expansion within the Star Atlas universe. Scheduled for release on April 2nd, this update promises exciting new dynamics for players to explore.

With the launch of Starbased, significant economic shifts are underway. Existing game IDs will transition to Starbased on April 16th, resetting economic elements to zero. Additionally, ATLAS emissions will see a drastic 50% reduction, accompanied by the phased-out of Armstrong ships from Faction Claims.

Starbased introduces players to the challenge of constructing and nurturing faction starbases. Beginning at tier 1, players must undertake upgrades and maintenance to achieve full operational status. This presents an opportunity for players to engage in extensive supply chains across factions, fostering a deeper sense of community.

The gameplay experience is enriched with the introduction of Loyalty Points (LP). Players earn LP by contributing to faction goals, such as starbase upgrades and maintenance, which can be exchanged for a share of daily ATLAS rewards. This system aims to reward collective effort and enhance community-driven gameplay.

Council Rank Experience Points (XP) and Long-term Incentives

Starbased introduces Council Rank Experience Points (XP), promising long-term incentives for player engagement. While the full benefits are yet to be revealed, this system adds another layer of depth to the game, encouraging sustained involvement and strategic play.

The focus on faction influence and loyalty in Starbased underscores a shift towards more collaborative and strategic gameplay. This update not only broadens the scope of player activities but also deepens the social dynamics within the game.

As Starbased prepares for launch, players can anticipate a more dynamic and immersive experience within the Star Atlas universe. This update represents a significant step forward for the space-themed MMO, promising new challenges and opportunities for exploration and collaboration.
