Earlier this year… Zoe’s Assassin submarine zips through the water in a torrent of bubbles, narrowly avoiding fire from the Ghostcrawler behind it. “I think they’ve lost sight of us. We picked off the last spotter,” reports Bishop to Zoe from the periscope array. “That was too close. Why the commander of our forces feels the need to attend the mission aboard a vulnerable submarine instead of listening from the safety of our outpost is beyond me.” Zoe internally appreciates the concern of her…

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…

WHERE IS THE ARMOR FOR THE GAMBIT BUILDING A EXTRA SHIP
Tuesday afternoon by bigbawg

I recycled the 5th ship when I built the flag as it was unnecessary to keep it.  Only needed 15 armor each and didn't want to chase points when they weren't needed.   Garrison armors are pretty much in events same as conqueror/defender armors.  Assault/siege/skirmish usually found in FM or the occasional event if Kix feeling generous.

For Christ's Sakes FM build tokens should also be upgrade tokens. Anyone else?

They could remove the Lionfish kits as we are 2 tiers ahead of that now.  Get rid of the tier 2/3 prizes that are obsolete like Open Warfare Battery, Concussive Battery 1/Explosive Battery 1, Brute kits being it's only 50 and that gets you to U2 only, Badger can go as deflections are too low.  Lots of things could be fixed if they only listened to the players that aren't coining everything as soon as it hits the prize store in any event. Flagship build/upgrade tokens for events would be great …

I was wondering the same thing recently as didn't know that was changed.   Every time you make something simpler in your eyes usually something else breaks.  Having it back would be great.  You could make things simpler by getting rid of the crews that are useless, bring back opportunity to roll Bullseye Brigade if it is still available and give us a token exchange program within the the in game store.

Try reloading the game, then restarting computer then removing last update. As a final "Fix" SMASH COMPUTER, because it is not KIXEYE problem.   :)

Base Is Unable To Defend vs 3 Types Of Fleets Hot

The pierce range is 165. Pierce weapons require something to be within their firing range, in this case the 80-125 range band. Once the projectile is fired it will continue to travel in a straight path damaging everything it touches out to the pierce range, in this case 165. The way you stop it from hitting that far is by not giving it a target as it cannot directly target something at the 165 range. It is also blocked by mountains.

That's what I did.

Cancel repair and restart. Time was reduced down to the time from about the point when I was hit.

Because later guard ships have built in targeting systems that override the patrol function. This is intentional.

You may have noticed we've already increased the points pay-outs of the FM targets considerably to reduce the grind, as well as adding more challenging targets to reward the players who can solve the challenge they represent. We're looking at a range of ways to introduce more opportunities for players to earn points more rapidly. BP PETER the comment you posted just shows how much you don't understand the players problems. |Yes, you increased the pay-out in the FM, but you also increased the …

Once upon a time it wasn't just a visual change. It was pretty commonly a deciding factor as to whether or not your base worked. I would assume the majority picks their favorite looking and just ignores it after that. Pretty sure nobody is paying for the changes at this point... I do agree that the cost is quite excessive, but it is what it is until it is changed/removed.

"Curious what you would like to see to add more fun to the game?" Oh boy you've open a can of worms there and thrown in Pandora's box at the same time with that comment.  :D How about getting the portals to be able to rotate in map planner for start, lowering the structural build times by heaps..18 days is insane, less raids and pillages to let players catch up.. etc , etc , etc.. :D

I'm not aware of any loading problems on Kongregate apart from ads shown by the Kongregate platform occasionally being halted by Chrome. Unfortunately we have no control over that as it is a feature of Kongregate. Like all HTML5 games, if you tab away you will experience longer load times, as browsers put tabs that you are not currently viewing to sleep to conserve resources.

You can turn off several different ones. Like the ones that warn you when you are about to use tokens, uranium, titanium, or base parts. The battle report you can turn off in your settings. Event pop ups, fleets returning, etc you are stuck with though.

If you are looking at a replay, the timer starts on 12 seconds and includes the 30 second pre-battle countdown. So the timer is at 42 seconds before the battle starts. From there the normal battle clock is indeed 5 minutes. As mentioned above, the Demolition Squad adds time to the battle clock, but it is 60 seconds instead of 90 seconds bringing the total to 6 minutes. The attacker can also choose to sacrifice a rocket in the closing seconds to extend the clock further. With 2 rockets there …

As mentioned previously, there would have been an accidental special swap when moving things around that caused it. If you add up all of uses of base power in your base I am sure you will find it is all there and accounted for. Since this doesn't seem to be going anywhere, I am going to close it.
