Forums Posting Rules Past, Present and Future Pinned Locked Hot about two years ago by Laredo	7.1K	0	Captains, When I started this game I had no clue what I was doing, so I would come to forums and ask questions. I got some wonderful help from the community and the CM/MOD team that was here then. What we see in forums now is a player that comes here and ask a legitimate question. Before a community member or the CM/MOD team can try and help a troll has belittled them because they didn't know the answer to their own question. We have the posters that come here to rant with 'WTFKIX, you bro… Laredo 2 Sep 2017, 5:30PM
Legendary Forsaken Chest (bug?) today at 1:45pm by DG de Vreugd	47	5	If you already have a 2day token from the T4 chests, or from previous FM saved, and you open the T5 chest and get 2x 2day tokens, it can only award 1x because you can only have 2x in total. I have fallen foul of the a long time ago, it is always best to check what tokens you already have before opening T5 chest, and if you have 1x 2day token or 2x 1day tokens, then use what you need to so you do not lose any when you open the T5. players always bring up this issue. Never had a problem since i … Yabanut Today, 3:01PM

Nice try KIX today at 1:18pm by Tim Jachem	33	0	If you think I will coin to repair a fleet that was in for overnight repairs because it some how didnt repair, you got another think coming. I not only watched the repair counter start counting down, i collected from a res gen and it was still counting down. Tim Jachem Today, 1:18PM
Praetorian fleet free Hot Wednesday night by TheRedDwarfJMC	293	18	Help! Very old player here (LVL 62) and have not played in years.... I saw this post so i logged in to get the free fleet so maybe I can get back into the game with a fighting chance. LOL But I don't see any gift or new ships in the shipyard. Do I need to do anything special or do I not get the free fleet? Any help would be great. Thanks shane.k.nash Today, 12:51PM
Escape Vel 900s are "a tad overpowered" yesterday around 11pm by Ax Bd	112	1	Don't PLAY it!!!! It is a waste of time!!!! FRODGE2 Today, 11:31AM
Pretty sneaky. today at 10:21am by Makarovnik	69	2	No idea what 'chase items' means, but the ratio of points to prizes remains the same as far as I can see. Old points system: ZCT-1 armour 25 million or 5 x 127 targets at 5 million each New points system: ZCT-1 armour 12.5k or 5 x 127 targets at 2.5k each Isn't that the same? kixeyeuser_1375599580027_13280_1382897133 Today, 10:44AM
Would you support a system that prevents misclicks on chore targets? Poll today at 12:30am by DerpyTheCow	57	4	Whilst I agree it's annoying when it happens, it's a mistake rarely repeated afterwards. But saying that it's also lazy programming and perhaps a sneaky cynical way to generate extra repair coins. I've seen people hit the 'wrong' targets on purpose with new hulls in a slightly desperate way to generate VXP and others using their best fleet of another class because it's a cheaper repair than using the correct fleet they might not even have. So I guess I'm a NO on the whole and consider this a … kixeyeuser_1375599580027_13280_1382897133 Today, 9:52AM

lets try to get kix to update crews. like this topic today at 7:24am by Lord_Nate85	12	1	(Quote) &#13;lol I think its time the Launch Pad rockets get updated too, considering the millions of health buildings and ships have now it makes no sense having a rocket that only does like 10000 Espeon Today, 7:26AM
Base Defense or lack thereof today at 1:06am by michaelg21	75	7	I do wonder how folks are going to shape up vs full fleets of Warhounds, & also expect to see more being released for players to obtain in the next Bounty, or maybe even a new base hitting hull then. I think some folks need to look at their base design & what they're using for defense if they're being rolled consistently by them. It'd be nice to see a new turret maybe that's more of a counter for them, or maybe just skip that & create the counter to the next baser. I thought the Ba… Tywin_Lannister Today, 6:13AM
Looking good. Tuesday evening by James Leon	146	5	Player numbers were up a bit in the most recent raid. It was nice to have free fleet of riots - even though I was almost done building my riot fleet. I'll just use both. The free praets fleet is a plus for me - as I never had time to build them - due to shipyard always being used to build next raid fleet. It's good to see more folks playing Battle Pirates. Philip_Marlowe Today, 2:02AM
Continuing HTML Issues-not addressed. today at 1:37am by michaelg21	24	0	MODS-PLEASE leave this thread open for Ghillie to look at it. Thanks Ghillie-I started this thread because the main thread on HTML is NOT getting responded to-at all. The update page is not being updated, in fact more than 14 DAYS went by with no change or update.\ Dont get me wrong here, I know it is being worked on. But there are a few issues remaining that I have put tickets in and players have mentioned that are flat being ignored-100% and the problems PERSIST TODAY!! You are threatening t… michaelg21 Today, 1:37AM
103 REAVER HEAP DAMAGE INCREASED AFTER UPDATE Hot about two weeks ago by GaMeCoK	155	10	(Quote) &#13;Ghillie - it is a easy thing - Kixeye up'd the damage from the ballistic heavy turrets so players can't auto or it makes you stop which in turn brings on more damage from other turrets. Sure, I can do it with minimal damage no that I stop for each ballistic heavy turret, but that wasn't the point of my OP. I would think this change would of been made known so players expect it - someone had to go in and update the code for these turrets....jus' sayin' GaMeCoK Today, 1:08AM
101 event targets not paying out 10k yesterday around 11pm by Domkop 12	78	3	(Quote) &#13;We slightly increased the point payouts for Escape Velocity targets to help ensure you get the full 10,000 whenever possible. Thanks for letting us know! CM_Ghillie Today, 12:53AM
New FM point system Hot Wednesday morning by Battlefatigue 1 2	1.3K	48	Well the top armors went up to 35 mil a piece instead of the 25 it used to be. Congrats on pissing off all your players! jason.hite.549 Yesterday, 11:52PM
How to Build a Punisher MK 2 Hot yesterday around 5pm by DerpyTheCow	174	4	Had to search for clarification on the Launcher Supercharge stat. Basically it is additive to the Supercharge stat but subtract 1 to account for it being a seperate stat and that 1 x 1 = 1 according to this thread. Not sure why they made it a separate stat when 5x Supercharge on Interception System would produce the exact same results. Perhaps they were planning on making it multiplicative but changed there minds last minute, made it additive and just used the separate stat anyway since it was … Jason Ensinger Yesterday, 11:34PM

95 titanium targets Wednesday evening by Boater	128	4	I havent seen any slowdown in my sector but its not the busiest. As far as I understand the spawn works in 4X30 minute cycles then repeats. 1. spawn 2. reap previous interval and spawn 3. reap previous interval and spawn 4. In that 4th interval there is no spawn and the targets cycle down until there are none left so there are always times none will appear. In quiet areas you might not even notice, but in busier areas and especially after raids it will be more apparent. We have had certain … FFRODO Yesterday, 5:38PM
Warhound and Other Build Ideas Hot Tuesday morning by Jason Ensinger	416	14	Alright, here's a premium 3 hull Pun MKII build I came up with. Use with Remote Raiders or SIlent Hunters to mitigate the speed hit from Lowered Cannon II which has a ballistic range hit but no radioactive range penalty. Could work in a couple raptors and lighter armors pretty easy if 4 hulls is preferable. eNqrVipPTSzIzytWsoo2NLEw1yFMxOooFRekJmcm5oA1mVqa6hhbmpsDCVNTHUMzA0MdYzMTMyDXwhKoNLWiILWoxKk0MydFySoNqCdVRymjNCfH00XJysTIzEBHKbEoN78IZJSlkYWBjqWRuaUOlIXMja0FAONvLFc= (Image) Jason Ensinger Yesterday, 4:20PM
Gantry Wednesday evening by stephenl90	69	3	(Quote) &#13;Would you rather them spend time trying to track down and fix something as insignificant as a menu randomly popping up again or something more crippling? They know it is happening. It just isn't anywhere near the top of the list of things to fix. Templar614 Yesterday, 1:44PM
Slow down about two months ago by Willie Soper	129	5	I haven't felt the need to "chat" in forums in a battle game since I would much rather be battling which is the purpose of the game. Not chatting in forums like you evidently pride yourself in. Knock yourself out. As for money Kix gets it's share from me which is why i felt inclined to make the comment i did. There does reach a point when things get carried away in a game and then players lose interest and leave. That is happening. If you can't see that maybe i could buy you a pair o… Willie Soper Yesterday, 6:02AM
