Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows the core multiplayer loop to be tested with a broader audience, while balance, content, and usability are improved based on practical match data and community feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Starbase Tactics is expected to remain in Early Access for around 6 to 12 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to expand and polish the Early Access foundation.

During Early Access, the focus is to improve faction balance, add and refine units and research options, improve visual presentation, expand tactical options, polish the user interface, improve onboarding, and strengthen long-term competitive features. The exact scope may change based on testing and community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version features a complete playable 1v1 loop: choose a faction, develop your base, shape your army through production, economy, and research choices, decide when to engage, select tactical abilities, then influence the automated battle at decisive moments.

Early Access also includes a beta ranked structure with faction-based ranks, placement progress, and rank progression. Ranked (Beta) is intended to give players an early competitive framework while balance, matchmaking, and long-term ranked security are improved during development.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The plan is to gradually increase the price once new content and features have been introduced.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Feedback is collected through Steam discussions, reviews, gameplay observations, and direct reports through the in-game feedback section.

During Early Access, this feedback is used to prioritize fixes, balance changes, quality-of-life improvements and future content decisions.”
