7th April - Manipulate What Matters!
Hello, and welcome to the new and improved Starbound website!
In preparation for the previously mentioned final approach to 1.0, 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 Matter Manipulator in whichever way you see fit!
Do you focus all your modules early on towards maxing out the Power Generator? 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 Starbound on Xbox One! If you're attending EGX Rezzed in London this weekend, you'll be among the first to play an early build of Starbound on the Xbox One, via their new Game Preview program!
We're already receiving some sizeable interest at the ID@XBOX booth, so come and say hello!
That's all for today!

11th April - Outlaw & Order
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 space 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.
Anyway, 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?

14th April - Beakeasy
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!
