Hello! Here's a round-up of our posts from the last little while.

Hello, and welcome to the new and improved Starbound website!
In preparation for the [url=http://playstarbound.com/final-approach-to-1-0/]previously mentioned final approach to 1.0[/url], we've taken some time to give the site a new coat of paint. So take a look around, and let us know what you think!
So, what's new with Starbound? Well, I think you'll all be excited to read that you'll soon be able to upgrade your [b]Matter Manipulator[/b] in whichever way you see fit!
Do you focus all your modules early on towards maxing out the [b]Power Generator[/b]? Or perhaps you'd find spreading your modules out on each area a more rewarding spend. The choice is now up to you in which order you focus your upgrades.
This feature is still a work in progress, but here's a look at the interface as it stands right now:

We've also got some some exciting news to share regarding [b]Starbound on Xbox One![/b] If you're attending [b]EGX Rezzed[/b] in London this weekend, you'll be among the first to play an early build of Starbound on the Xbox One, via their new [b]Game Preview[/b] program!
We're already receiving some sizeable interest at the [b]ID@XBOX[/b] booth, so come and say hello!

Hey, you! Have you ever thought about being a space bounty hunter?
I mean, obviously being a regular bounty hunter is all well and good, but if you stick [u]space[/u] on the front of it... well, I'm sure there are statistically a lot more outlaws in the whole of space than there are here on Earth, right? Travel time might be an issue. There's quite a lot of travel. I suppose there are always downsides.
[u]Anyway[/u], now you can do that!

You may come across NPCs who are feeling a bit anxious about the presence of an infamous outlaw near their home. Go and take care of that and receive a nice bounty in return! Outlaws aren't as easy to fight as regular NPCs, and may even have a few tricks up their sleeves.
But who knows? Maybe Shadowy Goldtooth the dark knight is just a bit misunderstood! Maybe you could even be friends?[/quote]

There are whispers of a seedy hidden dive bar at the Outpost frequented by penguin mercenaries...

It's rumored that if you do the bartender a favor, you'll be allowed to hire penguin mercenaries onto your ship crew rather than accumulating crew members by being nice and helping people.
... they're just rumors though, of course![/quote]
