how are we supposed to have res?????? Hot more than ten years ago by bloublou	161	4	Says the guy that has done less damage to my base than I've done to his. Come at me bro =) Krazie243 22 Apr 2013, 3:27AM
Anitmatter more than ten years ago by Boaz Shako	141	5	Try attacking the Cargo ships on your planet that say anti-matter.. they take longer to appear from anti-matter fields but they are there... Also, I have no idea what you really where asking for... but it touched me, and I will have to press charges against you. baloneyjustice 20 Apr 2013, 6:55PM
Hitting bases after the torpedo nerf Hot more than ten years ago by RagE-GOAT	431	25	Do me a favor and leave. I was neither talking to you or even arguing with ANYONE in this thread. It's one thing to insult me because we have a difference of opinions, but get the fuck outta here troll. Krazie243 20 Apr 2013, 1:32PM
Heavy Polaron Beam vs. Heavy Plasma Charger Poll Hot more than ten years ago by techniques	271	9	This proves no one looks before posting http://www.kixeye.com/forum/discussion/353349 Nexahs 19 Apr 2013, 7:23PM
Killing a vega cargo level 40, NO DAMAGE *NOT CURRENTLY UPDATED* Hot more than ten years ago by TheTrueForce 1 2	1.8K	34	Force will update this later and it says outdated in the name of the thread. PalTheCow 19 Apr 2013, 12:34PM
Heavy Beam Laser=Anti-Blitz? Hot more than ten years ago by B0SS	961	7	Yea but if you upgrade Towers and Guns it won't be much of a problem, but if you use some Heavy Laser then just place them properly so you don't get in trouble against Broadswords, and if you want to see Blitz Exodus in action to have a bit of idea on what you need to improve ask a guy called IOwnYou, he can test it for you I think as he tested many other bases today lol B0SS 19 Apr 2013, 2:19AM
VC OP4 Base Design Version 1 Hot more than ten years ago by Krazie243	5.9K	15	There is only one type of AoE last I checked - explosive. But projectiles tend to miss less then you drive right at them or angled only slightly. And now that they just changed all the ship shields so that you only are protected against one type it can really suck. Krazie243 18 Apr 2013, 5:00PM
Is it better to have lots of storage, or less? Hot more than ten years ago by baloneyjustice	151	6	Personally I only have 2 resource storages and 2 anti matter storages. Both res storages are upgraded enough that I can hold almost 8 mil each and 3.6mil anti matter if I were ever to fill them right up. Both storages are separated on either side of my OP so splash will never be a problem. Having already had my base hit I know you have to fight a minimum of 3 turrets at any one time, all armoured as well, just to get to one storage. Both are armoured and shielded. Having a mix of Polarons, Pla… The Black Skull 18 Apr 2013, 6:29AM
How is shield energy usage calculated? more than ten years ago by The Retaliator	101	8	yes, it is clear that armor takes damage while shields are up. so i would think that its likely 1 or 2, with the ships armor taking damage according to what the shield doesnt reduce. but the still unanswered question is if the shield loses energy according to the full amount of what it gets hit with(1) or just the portion that is reduced from hitting the armor(2). could a kixeye employee please clarify which one it is. this makes significant differences in shield energy usage.

Harrier Plasma Battery VS VEGA Cargo Hot more than ten years ago by Liam-99	461	5	The Vega ships has Deflector Shields, just look carefully at them and you will see some purple thing around them. B0SS 17 Apr 2013, 3:51PM

Salvage from bases? more than ten years ago by ColoradoBrewster	31	1	RGs give out what is in them. Storages and OP give out a % of the total res. Pretty sure OP gives more than an individual storage (if this game mimics the other Kixeye games in that way) Krazie243 16 Apr 2013, 2:51AM
meteorite nominally just my 2 cents more than ten years ago by MYFORT	51	1	If they nerf the Plasma Torp for defense things will be balanced. I can handle a base with a few Plasma Chargers and Polarons using tanked up Rancors. So I imagine that having Venoms would be even easier. But Plasma Torps on defense are very overpowered for how early you can get them. Krazie243 13 Apr 2013, 1:17PM
Good harrier Build, Since Torp will be history Hot more than ten years ago by freparkng	371	8	for the frigate fleet of 6; three ships with 2, either lv 2-3 rail guns or two lv gauss guns or a mixture of the two. on the next three frigates attach 1 rocket barrage launcher and 1 rail or gauss gun. this set up will allow you to still have enough weight left over for shields and armor. it will allow you to have ample range but also some kick if the enemy fleet gets too close to you. council-of-oath 11 Apr 2013, 10:34PM
Base hitting. Hot more than ten years ago by Blazing_Darkness	601	19	The game and weapon balance has completely changed over the last month. I wouldn't be surprised to see more big changes coming until the closed beta tag is removed. Honestly though, currently it doesn't look like kixeye is fine tuning the balance, but instead doing complete over hauls of the effectiveness and usability of weapons in the attempt to get them into a position where they are all useful and not just a select few. The actual balance was unclear for a quite some time due to the lac… Blazing_Darkness 11 Apr 2013, 7:08PM
A square *ss base on a round planet... Hot more than ten years ago by Franz Jones	281	7	Not really. You set up your base as you like, then use labs and any other less important modules to "bridge" between the OP and your miners. Fractal 11 Apr 2013, 4:34PM

Why has the planet cargo fleets been ramped up? Hot more than ten years ago by adder2204	231	6	yeah, its far too easy to get res. max out all res and waiting for 6d for an upgrade. this game is already starting to become like BP/WC. though in those it at least took a few months before i was maxed out on res and simply waiting for an upgrade. The Retaliator 6 Apr 2013, 9:34PM
Where do I find information? more than ten years ago by Doug Ragan	81	8	It's just straight armor points for weight. You are aiming for as much armor as possible for as little weight as possible. Tritanium is more efficient about this than plasteel, iridium moreso than tritanium, etc. Sprouts 6 Apr 2013, 6:13PM
Strafe Speed? Hot more than ten years ago by jeffreynard	401	2	I've found it useful to make slight adjustments in how I angle my strafe to control for speed relative to the enemy ships. You want to go faster when kiting fast ships, slower when kiting slow ships. The biggest thing that seems to slow them down is if you ever let them come to a full stop. They're really slow about starting back up again. Sprouts 6 Apr 2013, 5:51AM

so i find my self needing help on how to get cargo Hot more than ten years ago by tonzer	341	19	You sure about that because my repairs for ships with Torps is HIGHER than ships with Railguns. Case and point: my 6 Harrier fleet for sector Vegas would only take 8 mins for all 6 ships with Railguns only. Now each ship takes more than 4 mins to repair with a Torp and Railgun.
