==Closed Alpha FAQ==
This article is made for those, who have questions about CA. This article is also intended as continuation of CA topic on [[Very Very Frequently Asked Questions|VVFAQ]]
A lot of people, both newbies and older ones still have some things unclear. I decided to answer a lot of questions here and I hope that it won't be ignored.<br/><hr/>

===How many people start the closed alpha?===
===How do I know if I've been selected to participate in the Starbase Closed Alpha?===
105 people got their keys and now play the game.
Chosen participants will be sent an email. If the email bounces, you may be sent a DM on Discord.
===How often will players' amount increase?===
Lauri said: "we will give more invites next week(11.05-17.05)". That means that there will be a lot of waves and they will start often. If you didn't got in first way, it doesn't mean that you still don't have the key at your mail box.
===How do I know that I am invited?===
If you completed the one of the two surveys that was posted(about closed alpha), FrozenByte will have your E-mail address. That means that you should check your mail box. Don't forget to cycle between your accounts if you have multiple.


===Can I trade my key?===
===How often will players be invited?===
Not really. Someone think that keys are bound to SteamID owner. Btw, steamID is asked in survey, so that might be close to the truth.
We don't really know. Players will be invited when needed. JoelFB said on 22/07/2020: "Yeah no date in mind. I think we're taking July pretty slow" and on 24/07/2020: "August hopefully brings some of the features Lauri was talking about, and it's a good guess that will also bring a new wave. But doesn't really exclude a wave earlier either."
 
===Can I buy a key? Can I give away my key?===
No. Keys are tied to your Steam Account.


===Can I lose my access?===
===Can I lose my access?===
Yes. To prevent that, don't break an embargo.
Yes. Follow the rules and you won't lose access.
===Can I say that I have access?===
 
Yes, now you can. You can aalso stream
===I think I made typo in the Survey! What do I do?===
You will be contacted through discord if the email fails.
 
===Will my progress carry on into Early Access? ===
From VenlaFB:
Possibly to a degree, but we cannot make promises yet. We may have to do a "server wipe" once or multiple times during the Alpha (we will try our hardest not to, though). Likewise some elements of your character may transit from Alpha to the final game (like blueprints). Nothing is decided yet, however.
 
===Will the Closed Alpha participants receive Starbase for free? ===
No.


===What if I made a typo when filling in my e-mail address?===
=== How many people will be invited to the Closed Alpha? ===
FB will contact you through Discord direct message.
Alot? Over 20k? It's uncertain, here’s what Joel said.  


===Will my progress be saved after CA end/Will world get wiped?===
''“I hope that we will have everybody who's signed up in the original survey and the new signup play the game before Early Access launch. So that could be 20k+ people, hopefully enough to prevent any crazy Early Access launch issues with servers or basic issues. But this is just my thinking, not an official promise.”
Depends on world's state.


===What will I get at EA after CA?===
=== How many people signed up for the Closed Alpha? ===
Nothing(as far as we know).
~10 000 on the first survey. The second survey is still open
===How big will next wave be?===
It'll be as big as first one +/- 10 players.
===Will I get EA for free after CA?===
Not. At. All.<br/>
You played CA? Then, please, buy EA.
