Note: It appears that the workshop page for Starship is currently not public. This means you will have to login with a Steam account that owns Starship in order to view it.
Multiplayer
The game does not currently support multiplayer. Haxus previously mentioned that it would not be difficult to add "LAN play" to the game, and later elaborated that this meant dedicated hosting[1][2].
There is currently no ETA on this planned feature[3].
Beta
On 2021-02-03, Haxus started sending out beta keys for Steam access to Hazeron Starship. This was fully playable, and included some UI changes to accommodate the singleplayer aspect, such as a "Save Game" button and revamped logo.
This release included none of the updated story Haxus was working on, and only the basic village was present at the start.
Version-wise, this was still 6e15 in the client.
Around 2022, a second Hazeron Starship was uploaded to Steam as a separate game. That new version would continue to receive updates and is the version that would eventually be released. The AppID of the old version was 1450480.
Haxus has acknowledged the possibility of adding "limited multiplayer" functionality to Starship in the future - a commonly requested feature by players following the end of the MMO.
Around January 2022, Haxus announced plans to release Starship on Steam and resumed development on it.[4]
On the update on the 7th February 2023, Starship has been integrated with the Steam Workshop.[5][6] This allows players to upload, view, download, comment on and rate both spacecraft and building designs, mostly through the respective in-game blueprint exchange UIs. Ratings on workshop items are shown in-game on the exchange listing, as a 1-5 star value. Tags are automatically applied to the items depending on what the design contains - so a spacecraft with Gravity Drives and a Vulcium Hull would have those two things tagged separately. Access level (full/restricted) is also tagged.
