just saw it! AMAZING!!!!

Awesome!!!!! But there were 2 things missing from that show: A) The Real "Co-hosts" of X-play and 2) the Canadian accent! Crafty Canadians... trying to sound like us...

The TEC starbase was huge!!! Looks like an awesome expansion (can't wait for the other two either!). I might wait a month or two after Entrenchment's release to get it though (since I might have a new computer in December/January). Oh yeah and missiles on Gauss turrets? Pure pwn! Now my fleets can actually attack!

Questions: after we choose where we want the starbase, can we mobilize it again later? And how long does it take to deploy and undeploy? And how many can we have?

Looks & sounds good. Can`t wait for the release, as well as for more info on the next expansions.

Btw, what are the specs for the system that demo was running on? I`d be curious for comparison to my own (including the resolution display setting of the monitor)?

Looks awesome! That base truely is a immense behemoth! Would love to see some other ones in action !

A solid interview and article.  Congrats Blair! 

Getting excited! Nice job and interview.

I am very impressed! You guys really rock! Thanks for this expansion!

You guys outdid yourselves on that I mean, I figured starbases were going to be big, but man. If that was the cheaper and weaker TEC starbase, I can only imagine a Vasari's powerhouse.

Keep up the awesomeness is all I can say

nice nice.

too bad we heard to little about the minefields. like how they are deployed (via a ship? via building them through the planet menu?), what their capabilities are (destroy? disable? hinder?), whether they can be spotted by enemies and in general what can be done against them. maybe like they can be destroyed by squads, bc they are too small to be targeted.

also, that tec base had such a strange interior hangar. is it actually capable of building units? oh, and one important thing about starbases: it was said one alone could savely defend an entire grav well. what does this tell us about their range? I mean, could you not just fly by at the corners with clever pre-jump positioning? or is its range like half a standard grav well? even so, sun and gas giant wells are much bigger, so the problem arises again.

btw. the spiked thingy could be the special building, you know the subspace inhibitor. looks vasari to me.

looking forward to it. wonder if there is a beta. probably, if they even spend months for a patch beta, an expansion will get one too.

It would have to be a very short beta then. Considering 1.1 doesn't come out until the end of October, and Entrenchment launches on November 18th.. that's like, 2-3 weeks max?

Not that I'd mind getting my hands on it before the launch, of course!

What abilities your starbases have is a choice left to the player.   You'll have to make strategic choices as to their abilities - so you can build them out as ship factories or hardcore defense stations, etc. depending on how you build them out.

The spiked ball was a mine. It looked huge because it was zoomed in on.

you see, some of the most important facts are sometimes hidden or mentioning along with more info.

there was talk about choices, what abilities starbases would have, but I for one thought more about different weapons/ defense layouts or abilites as found in capital ships. I did not really expect the ability to construct ships. and tbh, that is a quite significant feature. after all, this means you can set up a (possibly limited) resupply and construction base anywhere you want, including some neutral grav well next to the enemy homeworld. of course, it would be hard to defend and get to, etc., but it is theoretically possible.

now, if that is not game changing, what is?
