Welcome back to Starbase Community News, your monthly post dedicated to all things Starbase community, both in-game and outside the game! Community News has been running since October 2020, and past issues can be found on the official Starbase forums under Developer topics.
Spring is coming on the northern hemisphere and April has been busy all over, and not the least with the big upcoming Early Access live server patch (scheduled for next week) and the latest news update from a couple of days ago.
After this issue the Community News will go on a hiatus. It has been an honour witnessing the creativity and the sheer power of imagination of this community in the past years, and giving them the spotlight they deserve. Before we take off for the beaches of a distant moon or attempt to swim in the gas clouds of Eos, however, let's first take a look at what the endokind have been creating in the past month.
