    Can anyone comment on the Campaigns.  Have the siege and strike campaigns changed at all?  And if so, what are the changes.

    Kinda curious as to why the tower outside my base says strike is worth 700K yet im 3 targets in and at 90K.  I guess the last two are gonna be worth a lot....smh
    700K is the bonus you get when completed, then you get some as you do the targets. Right now, you are at 790K when completed, not counting the last two, might get 900K for each completion. Meaning you need 6 of them to get the weapon pretty much.
    Absolutely not true.  I just finished strike.  449K  Total.
    That is great! you are a 74 so glad to see it was not full bonus. 

    My reply was to the fact you said it was worth 700K, did not look at your level. Very happy that those that should be hitting siege will not be rewarded for failing to build proper raid fleets.
    I can do seige m8, more than enough proper fleets.  Why would I not do the lower one if it saves me money?  The issue is the game is not giving what it says it will.
    I hope that it is, no reason what so ever to do Strike if you are capable of doing Siege. :)

    IF you want to go the cheap route it should take you the whole 4 days 8+ hours a day to get the 18 milllion for the two new prizes.

    Last 6 months the most you got for doing strike at your level was 500K. So, a 10% deduction for the convenience of hitting from your tower seems fair. Saves time traveling to someone below 60.

    Even at 449k total, his expenditures for repairs will be way less compared to points receive in lieu of doing Siege.  I'm seriously considering using this tactic myself...sounds like I'll need to hit strick roughly 54 times to get where I want, if I take into consideration my base level applies a lowering ratio.

    According to release notes, it stated event points for higher level bases would be scaled down for hitting lower level targets...something Kix should have initiated long ago for map targets as well, so the high levels aren't farming low targets at full points for cheap raids.
    Those who can...do.

    Those who can't, whine and then call the do'ers  names.

    Ever feel like you are in 1st grade?  If not...read the forums.

    DOnt mind the time, fyi I have never been able to do strike before, but one of my friends, a 52, told me it was 1.4 million two months ago and a little bit less last month.

    Benjar: in the list over campaigns, how much is strike worth? For me it says 280000. In the tower menu it says 700000 though.

    I see what you're saying.  Thanks, I guess 280 is the proper bonus and kix just didn't bother doing things right, again.  I guess the other question then, are the individual targets worth less for 60+, cause they were pittance on the payout.  20-30 K each.  Granted for me it was insta repair on a few of them, but still if thats it for the lower levels that sucks.  I only did strike because like I said, why do the hard ones and pay when I could do the easy ones for cheap.  In any event every raid I work my way up to gauge what needs to be done.

    I have done a few for people, and it was always about 500K for me over the last 6 months. And 700K bonus, we keep track as we have people that came into our Alliance from other places and never really had help with anything. No help to build a fleet to tack content their level, or help understand what they should be picking up each raid. 

    So, we had to know what they could get if they did strike for a fresh 46. None, to my knowledge got 700K for the individual targets (I never did get that much and I have done at least 10 strikes each raid for someone), your friend must be really lucky to get that, or they are mistaken.

    You have o wait untill the ships leave the screen to have them count, please read stuff before posting. and the 700K is for when youve finished all of the targets. a bonus for completion
    As I just said I got 449K for finishing all of strike.  Next, I free the ships and the timer goes to 7 or 8 seconds and counts down.  One time that happened when half the target was still alive.
    what level r u?

    It was stated when DR first posted about the raid, that if you hit below your level, you wouldn't be getting the full amount of point's, that is why you are only getting the amount of points you are getting...you lose a certain % of point's when you dont hit the campaign that is level appropriate...

    I understand that.  I figured the number I saw on my campaign tower was accurately reflecting that.  Why would it show me an under 60s number? There. As someone else pointed out the correct number is shown when you hit the activation view, but not on the outside the base click on attack tower view. Still, kix should have ensured it was displaying correctly.

    Strike for "above levels":

    Strike 1: 21,942 (target complete)
    Strike 2: 29,900 (did not complete target, time did not finish, did not rescue anything)
    Strike 3: 43,068 (target complete, x1 ship rescued, 2 points)
    Strike 4: 27,145 (target complete, x2 ships rescued, 6 points)
    Strike 5: 53,777 (target complete, x3 ships rescued, 12 points)
    280,000 bonus points.

    I also noticed on Strike 5 that Reaver reinforcements appear when the trapped fleet was freed. Thought that was interesting.

    Also! Anyone who had previously gotten their points with subs by repeating Siege 1... yeah, it was changed entirely. Base map now.

    Last update. Oof, 23s were reduced to 850 points. Far cry from the 9500 they were last raid.

    Indeed. Also, did you see how they nerfed the surface target values as well as removed half the options? 23s went from 9500 to 850. Screw you, lowbies!

    Doomrooster I see few problems with raid .. Please confirm they are as design.
    1. Level 3 ,4 , 5 Of Siege finishes before all ships and/or Targets are killed ..
    2. You get no bonus for rescue once Level is finishing early.

    So I'm level 54, tried the strike and my ships got eaten. So I went into the Recon and finish within about 15 minutes with my Vins. But got no bonus, is this intentional or a bug? Because I thought it was reduction, not that I don't get any bonus.

    I haven't seen any problems for the first part, however, as stated in the Event brief, if you defeat the target before the Forsaken Missions leave the battle map, you will not earn the rescue points. That is intended, so be sure to hold off on defeating the target until the Forsaken ships leave the map. 

    The Forsaken ships are pathed to leave to a specific point over time.

    These strike campaigns finish before I even kill half the target.  I only get a measly 466k for the whole thing.  In elite there are stealthed buildings and the buildings that give stealth are stealthed as well!  There is no killing that.

    I also had problems with a target finishing early.  I am doing seige now, and just discovered that the reaver reinforcements do NOT give points.  I came back in after freeing the trapped ships, killed the reinforcements and retreated again, 0 points.
