==Description==
The main premise behind the base game involves navigating a player-controlled [[Ships|ship]] being piloted through an [[Asteroids|asteroid]] filled map. The asteroids can be broken either by being shot or rammed by the player which will, in turn, yield [[Crystals|gems]]. These gems can either be used to upgrade the player's ship, buy secondaries or when the [[Gems|gem]] cargo is filled, upgrade to one of two higher tier ships. There are currently 7 tiers of ships in Starblast throughout which 32 different ships can be found. (not counting the modding space ships.) The newest ships are [[FuryStar]] (Tier 5), [[Bastion]] (Tier 7), [[Vanguard]] (Tier 4), [[Marauder]] (Tier 6), and the [[Howler]] (Tier 5). Originally there were 21 ships, in 2016, when the game came out.

Description

In Starblast, you navigate your player-controlled ship through an asteroid filled map. Your mission is to complete various objectives depending upon the game mode; it could be helping your team win, being the last survivor in the star system, or defeating the alien hordes. Asteroids can be mined either by being shot or rammed by the player. Upon being broken, they yield gems. These gems can either be used to upgrade the player's ship, buy secondary weapons or, when the gem cargo is filled, upgrade to one of the two available ships of the next tier. There are currently 7 different tiers of ships in vanilla Starblast throughout which 32 different ships can be found. The newest ships are FuryStar (Tier 5), Bastion (Tier 7), Vanguard (Tier 4), Marauder (Tier 6), and the Howler (Tier 5). There were just 21 ships when the game came out in 2016.

There are currently four game modes available to be played via the main menu; Survival, Team mode, Deathmatch, and Invasion. Upon selecting a game mode in the main menu, the player is automatically connected to a server of the corresponding game mode and region. Players that either own the standalone client or an ECP will be able to create custom matches where they can edit certain parameters to customize their experience. Such games can only be joined through accessing the link to the private game provided upon creation. There is also a mod editor for those with some basic coding experience that can allow a player to create their own mods and design their own ships to be used in those mods; having an ECP unlocks this feature. Modding space is featured on the main menu , a place where community-made mods can be played by anyone, cycling in and out on a timer that spans a few days; each mod is active for between four and eight hours at a time.

Game support

Starblast Wiki is focused on creating the definitive guide to Starblast. But while we make an effort to be complete, which may include game bugs and fixes for them, we are not an official game support channel. We recommend sending support requests to Neuronality.
