Does the penguin ship go away if you die while fighting it? Or is it still around on my planet somewhere? Me and my friends died many time while fighting it, but we always had one guy keeping it in combat, even though I can't say for sure if that's neccesary. | ||

There should be an indication in the quest journal that the quest is high level (for when you get it) and to not place a beacon until you're ready to fight it. | ||

I however figured out an even easier way. The ship spawns directly above your beacon. Once you place the beacon and it spins to show it's a valid location, build a large box of land around the space to hold the ship in place. When the ship tries to move and gets caught in the box it glitches his move scripting he stands still while you build a land path out to him and club him to death. Enjoy! EDIT: By large box, I mean enough to house 3-4 of the ships. You want to give it plenty of space to spawn, and then run it up into the ceiling of the box. | ||

Sadly, no enemies in the game can deal with walls in any way, so this isn't really a problem. I really hope for some major changes in the future in this regard. In theory, building a castle to fight a boss seems cool. In praxis, if they can't destroy walls, that means you stand behind a wall and shoot arrows through small hole through which the Boss can't fire back, and if you use anything but dirt for this wall it will never break it. It is still fun, but it is quite obvious how Beta this is when compared to something like Terraria. (Which i guess is an unfair comparison given how much time terraria has had to evolve) I hope that this stuff will get addressed and the game becomes amazing once it launches, but that will involve quite a few changes. | ||

But, beta is beta.. the problem I think is folks have forgotten that beta is supposed to be used to get the game ready, but I feel some gamecompanies have abused this by releasing a half-assed game and calling it beta just to get away with selling a product they never intend to finish  Can recommend it anyhow, I´ve had fun the 10 or so hours I put in already. | ||

According to http://playstarbound.com/coming-in-tonights-update/: + Show Spoiler + - Massively reducing the pixel cost (sometimes eliminating it entirely) on early weapons/armor. You can build a refinery in later tiers to turn ores of all kinds into pixels. (done) - Monsters now have a small chance to drop meat when killed with normal weapons. (done) - You can no longer teleport to another players ship from underground (done) - Bandages are now craftable with 4 plant fibres, no longer require fabric (done) - Fix human starter chest showing apex starter items (done) - Monsters now have a 70% chance to drop meat when killed with a hunting weapon, up from 50% (done) - Make guards you’ve summoned refer to you as their boss (done) - Make the refinery appear earlier in the game (done) - Reduced fuel costs a bit to go to other planets (done) - Tweaked wording of starter quests to encourage exploring of more planets. (done) - Added hunting knife weapon that also makes monsters drop meat (done) - Added new legendary weapon (done) - Pixel loss on death reduced to 20% for testing, might change further (done) - [16:27] <Mortvert> Tiy_, Also, could you make silver more visible, please? (Done) - Added new armor that provides a good amount of warmth early on in the game at the sacrifice of armor levels. (done) - Tweaked the UFO boss to make him smash blocks. (done) - Also make him a little bit easier by changing him to level 9 from level 10 (done) - Revamping the warmth bar to make it more obvious (suggestion by thedbp on reddit) http://i.imgur.com/O2IYd6k.png (done) - Increase mining speed a little (done) -Add numbers above the hotbar slots http://i.imgur.com/qTJiFrS.png (done) - Craftable climbing ropes! (done) - Make sure hunger bar is always shown when eating food (done) - Make hunger bar display when the alt key is held down (done) - Added a dumb, quick way to advance through some of the tier 4-10 content (armors, weapons), just for fun. Complete tiers of content are coming really soon. I’d like to get 1/2 tiers of content done per week. (done) - Fixed a bug where minibosses over level 11 were not dropping the rare items they were supposed to be dropping. They now drop guns. (Thank you to <ippia> for finding this) (done) - Ufos should hopefully not fly off anymore, they were actually flying off to attack birds! (done) - Tons of bug fixes - Bartwe is working on the windows XP issues, not sure yet if it’ll be done by tonight but fingers crossed. Might be tomorrow. with more to come | ||

Are there are any quests after the penguin boss or does it just stop giving quests after that? | ||
