Best space game ever when it launched. Now it's a ghost town, but the server is still up.
Basically 'realistic' space minecraft with a free server. Would be great to play with a friend. It only has negative reviews because the devs disappear every year. They split it into a separate test app that gets the updates, so the live game is behind. Tutorial sucks balls, too.
It's very abrasive, but I'm the kind of person who learned Dwarf Fortress back when it was free and ASCII graphics, so I loved Starbase, even when none of my friends would try it.
For example, a fuel cell needs to be unbolted, slid out of the tube, then you physically leave it floating in space, and you slide in a fresh one, and bolt it in. That simple tutorial puzzled thousands of people.
At launch, there were thousands of ships floating above the stations, because that's what kind of game this is. You leave your ship floating out there, it will be there when you log out.
Outside the safe zone, anyone can kill anyone and steal your ship.
The most in depth building of any game ever. The ships are incredible.
The building goes as far as having a coding language to program functions on your ship. You put a physical screen panel in your ship and code on it. Things like power and fuel need to be wired physically.
If you ever wanted to build space ships, this is it. You can magnetize your feet and walk around the outside of your ship while you are flying. Star Citizen is a joke.
It's 'obscure' because it maybe has 100 players and has bad reviews, but it's a good sandbox game.
I think of it as an abandoned corner of space where only robots live and do their thing.

It's unfortunate the greatest space ship building game of all time was too complicated and buggy for smooth brains to play it. Starbase is rotting away, but it still has the objectively best spacecraft building of all time. Star Citizen is a pile of shit compared to this negatively reviewed steam game.
Dumb fucks shell out thousands to the genuine steaming pile of shit that is Star Citizen, and it's complete garbage compared to a negative reviewed Steam game.
If you can convince some friends to play it with you, it could be your favorite game. It's a severely misunderstood game, because the majority of the population is too stupid to play it.
I put in 200hrs solo. Highly recommend.
Steam says it's not updated, but it has a separate beta app that gets the updates, so the steam "this game hasn't been updated" is actually a lie.

Starbase.
It has been abandoned, picked back up, and abandoned, so it has terrible Steam reviews, but it's one of the best space games ever made.
It's a MMO sandbox space game where you play as robots. The ship building is objectively the greatest ship building in any video game ever.
The game never took off because there are no NPC's and no quests. It's a sandbox MMO. Think one giant minecraft server.
It truly is an empty ghost space for robots to tinker around, mine, travel thousands of kilometers with the threat of running into an asteroid destroying your ship.
It feels like a 1980's space anime, like you are in some abandoned solar system where the humans left 100 years ago, and it's just robots still living there, doing the only thing they know to do.
It's one of the greatest space games ever made, but the smoothbrains gave it mixed reviews at launch, because the tutorial sucked, and the game was complicated, so it never took off.
There's still about 100 players online usually, but they are so far away, you might run into 1 or 2 people at your origin station.
There are ship shops where a lot of the ships are now broken, but most of them still work. Probably 100 ships to browse. Or build your own.
For some reason, the devs still comment on Steam, so it's not some "abandoned" game, but it's developing at a glacial pace. It's unfortunate it launched right when covid was at it's worst, which basically fucked everything up. I still check on it every once in a while, and at launch it was definitely the greatest space game ever made.
Steam automatically flagged the store page saying "no updates in 2 years", but that's because they split the dev server into a separate app, so they are updating the test server app.
You can magnetize your feet and walk around the outside of your ship while you are flying.
Now comment on my "reddit spacing".
