VXP Weekends Pinned Hot about four years ago by CM Major_Rampage 1 2 3 4	7.6K	96	Greeting Captains, I wanted to present you with a refresher for how VXP Weekends work. While the event is running, destroy Unidentified Raider Fleets for massive VXP payouts. “Unidentified Raider ???” will also spawn and pay out moderate amounts of VXP. Salvages and Elite targets will pay out 2x the regular amount of VXP. What are VXP points? Veterancy Experience Points (VXP) are acquired in battle, and can upgrade the turning speed and reload time of the participating ships by increasing… jawad bhatti 28 May 2021, 12:58PM
TLC's: Time Limited Campaigns Pinned Hot about four years ago by CM Major_Rampage 1 2 3	5K	73	Hello Captains, I would like to present some information about how our Time Limited Campaigns (TLC’s) work. TLC’s are campaigns that run for a limited amount of time, hence the name. You will find them announced in the weekly update thread of the forums if there is a TLC this week.

What is DoT (Damage over time) Pinned Locked Hot about three years ago by Templar614	465	0	First question, what is a DoT effect? It is damage inflicted at a set frequency over a period of time. DoT effects have been in the game for a very long time. It is far from being a new mechanic, and works the same way it has since it's release. But, if you weren't around for that, you probably have no idea what it is or how it works. It has also been quite a while since there was a useful DoT weapon, so here is a refresher. Don't worry, I had to dig for my notes on it as well. Let's look at … Templar614 25 Aug 2018, 6:09PM
Draconian Mega Convoy Breakdown Pinned Locked Hot about three years ago by The_Vengeful_One	1.7K	0	The 2018 Assault Class raid cycle is upon us! These are Assault targets, so you will want to use Assault class ships to tackle them. The Manticore is currently the top hull in the Assault class and is what these targets are designed for. The Caedes is a strong contender in the 80 level targets, but is locked out of the 100 level targets. Charged armor is not very helpful this go round as there are some ships that will drain your charge pool instantly. As Assault targets go, they are mostly com… The_Vengeful_One 16 Jun 2018, 6:32PM
Expeditions Expanded Pinned Hot about three years ago by CM Major_Rampage	2.4K	27	Expeditions Expanded Expeditions allow you to set a fleet to automatically generate resources over time. The requirement is a dedicated fleet for the task and a single battle to set when you will get the resources. Expeditions get more and more lucrative as you invest in components and hulls that are optimized for Expedition use -- these are the best use for the Generalist line of hulls and components. At its most useful an Expedition with a Generalist card, using a Generalist fleet with 5 V… TomBrooklyn 1 Mar 2018, 5:01AM

Coming Back Hot about a year ago by erinyes	244	16	Is this the most relevant info for a returning player?? I ve looked around but its 2021 and most info ive found is well out of date! I returned to find the game to be different and as expected all old fleets useless, so i hunted for kixeye guides, all i found out of date lol typical. Well you need to check your campaign list, there you can get a starter fleet pre built out of a reward crate for sinking 1 tiny ship. from there i went to the FM, T1 will unlock more crate fleets but heres the rub,… Gremlin Uniden 29 May 2021, 10:07AM
How to move from one sector to another about three months ago by BlackWolf_65	109	5	If it is a sector in the same world as you then you can just scroll over there, drop a bookmark, and relocate to that bookmark. Alternatively, you can find people on global leaderboards and drop a bookmark on them and do the same to get out of your current world if you don't have friends or alliance members.

Game is just not same anymore! about four months ago by Bama Red	67	2	&#13;I had someone in sector chat with an 18M ID try to tell me that they'd been playing since 2008. phroxenphyre 24 Mar 2021, 11:30PM

Base design Hot about six months ago by Johnny Kirkland	288	2	&#13;well, without proper placement of OLC, Fast Hounds can zip through bases, which means in order to utilize the OLC's slo effect, it sorta puts it out of range to protect the north, rear of base. But i agree 110% Base design creativity is gone forever. Johnny Kirkland 10 Jan 2021, 3:09AM
Mouse and Keyboard Ship Controls in BP about seven months ago by DeadSinner	64	0	A demonstration of the most important mouse and keyboard controls in Battle Pirates. These skills are helpful in PvE targets, and VERY important in PvP. I recommend you use a Siege fleet in a Small Base Parts target to practice, as shown here. https://youtu.be/5LKG2R1miXY DeadSinner 7 Dec 2020, 1:56AM

Research and development levels about a year ago by steve.lashomb	136	10	Things to note, your OP has to be full health, your OP has to not be refitting or upgrading, and you can't be running a crafting anything mega related to start an R&D research. Templar614 18 Nov 2020, 2:47AM

Super Superior Armor Points? about a year ago by matthew.kudej	71	3	&#13;A wee correction to the video: Skirmish hulls will deal either Concussive or Explosive damage (think of the Razor for explosive) & will be resistant to both of those types, NOT Corrosive damage as per the blurb at 1:50.

Decimator Cannons? about a year ago by kb8sfb	104	1	T9 heavy turrets are limited themselves. Decimators you can only have 5 of. Same with Hellmouth, Farsight. Mongoose are currently capped at 3. Templar614 19 Jun 2020, 7:22PM
UAV COUNTERMEASURE about a year ago by fozi65	62	1	There isn't really a good choice. Distance is really the only choice. Once a UAV starts swarming it's first target, it becomes uncounterable. There is also the projectile speed component. Where once the incoming projectile reaches a certain speed that countermeasures basically don't have enough time to react and won't try.

How to do well in PvE for free - THE PLAN Hot about a year ago by DeadSinner	209	0	THE HAMSTER WHEEL (warning: long post) Two-month long raid cycles are boring. They're also predictable, easy to plan for, and completely free, once you know how to plan for them.Before you read the step-by-step plan to stay on top for free, let me address three VERY valid questions players often complain about:* There's no free way to hop on the hamster wheel on your own, unless you're lucky to get one of those free fleets Kixeye gives away every now and then. Last time they did it was the Riot… DeadSinner 12 Jun 2020, 1:04AM

Carnage Hull about a year ago by FBCR-NY	123	1	Because its a complete useless hull. Kix doesnt allow counter measures on it, they have no spot for something like an emp, they dont have enough armor slots and the defense only weapons are useless against new hulls. Zika Brennan 8 Mar 2020, 5:40PM
