==Closed Alpha Very Frequently asked questions==
==Closed Alpha FAQ==
This article is second additional part of VVFAQ(first additional part can be found [[What not to talk about in starbase discord|here]]).<br/>
 
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 do I sign up for Closed Alpha access?===
==First of all==
 
LauriFB, a CEO of Frozenbyte, posted huge post at starbase forum, where he answered some questions himself. [https://forum.starbasegame.com/threads/starbase-closed-alpha-questions-answers.1007/ Check this page out first.]  
# Fill in [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSei-ilgUygOB_iA53G5wO7NE0gKJYOw47Bl9gW9dg-WntEEeQ/viewform?fbzx=-2783673227484079902 this survey]

First of all, more questions were asked and Lauri gave new answers without appending his post.<br/>
 
This page is more frequently updated. At least, current version(11.05.2020) is up to date.
===How do I know if I've been selected to participate in the Starbase Closed Alpha?===
==Q&A==
Chosen participants will be sent an email. If the email bounces, you may be sent a DM on Discord.
===How many people start the closed alpha?===
 
105 people got their keys and now play the game.
===How often will players be invited?===
===How often will players' amount increase?===
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."
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?===
===Can I buy a key? Can I give away my key?===
If you completed the one and only survey that was posted once(about closed alpha), FB will have your E-mail address. That means that you should check your mail box, let's say, every hour. Don't forget to cycle between your accounts if you have multiple.
No. Keys are tied to your Steam Account.
===Can I trade my key?===
It wasn't confirmed whether they are bound to SteamID or not, but, nevertheless, you'll break an Embargo if you do so. Moreover, key must belong to it's initial owner. If you get spotted, access will be revoked. Short answer - you can indeed sell it, but you may get banned alongside with your customer.


===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?===
 
No - you'll break an embargo.
===I think I made typo in the Survey! What do I do?===
===What if I made a typo when filling in my e-mail address?===
You will be contacted through discord if the email fails.
FB will contact you through Discord direct message.
 
===Will my progress be saved?===
===Will my progress carry on into Early Access? ===
Depends on world's state.
From VenlaFB:
===What will I get at EA after CA?===
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.
Nothing(as far as we know).
 
===How big will next wave be?===
===Will the Closed Alpha participants receive Starbase for free? ===
It'll be as big as first one +/- 10 players.
No.
 
=== How many people will be invited to the Closed Alpha? ===
Alot? Over 20k? It's uncertain, here’s what Joel said.
 
''“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.”
