TLC's: Time Limited Campaigns Pinned Hot about four years ago by CM Major_Rampage 1 2 3	5.2K	77	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. TLC’s are an excellent way for you to gain new technology. Completing a campaign awards a prize package when completed. Most successive play throughs on a given campaign will increase in difficulty, grant less … Thrain 2 12 Jan 2022, 9:57PM
VXP Weekends Pinned Hot about four years ago by CM Major_Rampage 1 2 3 4	7.7K	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?

What is DoT (Damage over time) Pinned Locked Hot about three years ago by Templar614	479	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 four years ago by CM Major_Rampage	2.5K	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

Returning Player Needs Help ! about three weeks ago by MegaDeath12	34	3	Every building upgrade you see in the TLC is what you'll get, so any turrets that are very low in level, or other buildings, will automatically go to the reward level when you finish x prize pack, so completing Prize Pack 3 will grant you OP Level 13. If you chat in world comms, others will be able to respond to you, note that their sector will be denoted by the last 1 or 2 digits in their name/ID, ie, blah blah name 12345 ID - 1 (denoting sector 1) Blackbeard III 15 Jan 2022, 6:29PM

Returning player Hot about two years ago by kixeyeuser_1408221378440_100005459325129	534	8	Why would you come back ever since new company took over they got worse crashes all the time. Plus that guy Fred that answer's tickets is a ass wipe. Sends me a reply that says nobody else has crashes come on you jerk Michael Mueller 7 Oct 2021, 7:07PM
Fleet build up about a year ago by Sadik El Farri	148	3	Could you be more specific? I started the game and have no clue how to get my ships upgraded or how to build "expert hulls". I have multiple hulls and weapons I want to build but I keep on being told I cannot build expert on the selected hull. No explanation either. Btw I am a little disappointed in this thread - I thought this was supposed to be a tutorial and not just some ramblings such as myself. Chereskov 26 Sep 2021, 6:47AM
Research and development levels Hot about a year ago by steve.lashomb	154	12	&#13;Launch a fleet and bring in 100M total resources (excluding base parts, titanium and uranium). Also be sure your naval lab is upgraded to level 10. KrisK 23 Sep 2021, 6:42AM

Bastion sea walls 2 about six months ago by Roy2040	65	4	&#13;This is correct. They consume a lot of power and require upgraded Portals to equip them. (There isn't an upgrade process for the traps themselves, you just need to get the print and equip it) Templar614 31 Jul 2021, 12:40AM

Coming Back Hot about a year ago by erinyes	271	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 eleven months ago by BlackWolf_65	102	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.

Base design Hot about a year ago by Johnny Kirkland	344	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 a year ago by DeadSinner	86	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

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. Blackbeard III 12 Jul 2020, 12:04AM
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
