    I'm going to quote a line from a horror film, used so many times just before some walks out of a tent on hearing a strange noise, and this is directed at Kixeye. IS ANYONE THERE? 

    Have you read what you posted?

    No more chores, does that sound familiar. Then you come up with you list of 16 'CHORES' to do with insane uranium costs attached.

    most of us cant hit 85's, we don't have the ships or equipment to do this, but you are limiting the lower level bases, limiting not only our chance at improving, but also the uranium payout. 

    You were going to make things better for the players, now another new hull that is a must have.

    I have a challenge for you. you know my account, look at what I have and advise my what i should be using to get your targets. I used to be able to get level 3 on the fm, now i am struggling to get to 2 with your more in line weapons and hulls. Tell me where I am going wrong and what i need to do to rectify this, but remember that i cannot build or refit more than 1 ship at a time and you havent reduced the build time enough to make any difference.

    yes the advent of shards, never ending uranium salving, and total and utter FM boredom with content overload  has about killed it off

    I see that in the last month, al we have is lip service to the state of the game. Nothing done to improve it, just a lot of bandaids and statements of we are working on it. No real action to actually do so. And the perception (Which is reallity to most) that all kixeye cares about is finding ways to milking more coin from its deterioriating fan base.

    I have been playing for less than a year and I have watched a lot of people leave the game or quit coining because of the power creep and the perception of kixeye not caring about the non coiners and non heavy coiners. (unless you are a heavy coiner no good support for you).

    I dont know how much longer I will pay for coin as I dont see any benefit to having to pay to keep up with the power creep. I can just build slowly and fall behind and chat with the few friends who still play the game, that is until they leave and then I will follow suit.

    I want to know who the tart is the decided that hitting a lvl 85 OP should be the second step in the new R&D. Aren't there supposed to be baby steps involved here?  How many players do they think hit these things? I can't even try as my poor laptop crashes each time I even try to peek someone inside, since Kix had to put more stuff in them then a Drac base for F*cks sake. Why isn't it destroy a lvl 65 OP, that's a challenge most people can manage on their own after lvl 50.

    The state of the game is that it's totally SHARDED. 
    My advice to new players: "Delete the game from Facebook, change your email on Kixeye to [email protected] and scramble your password. then just turn around and forget this place even exists. You will be better off."

    as for the new drac base things all most imposible, tried one and never again harlock and 2 zoe's did not last 30 secs, thought it was me to find out all 4 of us had same problem only to find it had a bubble now comew on kix listen to your customers we need faster builds and repairs not stuff that only hackers and very heavy coiners can do. take away the ppl that coin a little u will have no money coming in. the big coins can only coin 4 so long. be fore the wife or bank manager stops them.
    is  this just me thinking this ?????

    So you're going to fix build/refit times and repair times.  the place to start is to cut these times by 2/3.  Build a 38,000 ton fleet in 1 month, refit a fleet in 1 week to keep fleets current, try new tactics and prepare for raids. Cut repair times to 1/3 of current. Also change the refit lab to refit ships as well.  This would allow refitting a fleet while building a fleet.  Build or refit in the shipyard + refit in the refit lab.  

    As for your new R&D feature, by level 16 I will spend 2,000,000+ Uranium for 4% off repair, 3% off build, a ship + some crap.

    You are out of your collective minds if you think that is a good deal.  Who ever thought up this scathingly brilliant idea needs to be tared and feathered.

    Get real, do not comprehend the level of anger you have generated in your customers.  Its a game.  Put the fun back in!  Now is a good time to start!
    The time to start was 3 months ago when they asked for 3 months on BV...so far all we have gotten are the Band Aids.... You know, the Band Aids they've repeatedly said they didn't want to give us?.... The 3 months are gone, and instead of reduced Build and Repair times, they've given us yet more rapid content release, and more chores, and taken away regular access to Ur and replaced it with a low spawning replacement. Your time is running out Kix, and so far you've shown nothing but Bad Faith efforts.

    almost my exact feelings about the game are expressed by Ralh3 and I don't know him. So Kix, just letting you know that I am building my tiger shark fleet and when I am done with that build, if this game has not improved dramatically in the reduction of build and repair times, then I will stop playing. I'm sure you don't care about my $25-50 dollar per month habit of BP but consider yourself warned, Im not the only one that feels this way and if I go Im taking a few out with me. I figure you have about 2 months of tiger shark build time to set this game straight. I have enjoyed the ride but Im ready to get off unless something changes.

    It's all smoke and mirrors again...Now you need UR and exactly how do you get it (?) I know, coin more repairs! It's all BS as usual.The greed never ends. Watch and wait, 2016.
