Will the new targets have charge armor depletion like the raid top targets?
These targets do have the Draconian Anti-Charged Armor Tech, you will want Zynthonite Armor D5-XM for the best protection. I have the article above to reflect this.
Rampage-I have a serious question. You posted suggested builds-a nice touch. I think that's a good step. BUT-did you even take a second or two and look at the build time for those suggested hulls? Over 19 DAYS for the Reg Inf Dragon and over 21 DAYS for the Gretas. Why don't you understand(or more likely don't care) that the build times are back to the point they were a few years ago when people said they were sick of this crap. 3 WEEKS to build ONE SHIP. Really? I know you guys are hoping people will hate that and coin the ships at over $100 EACH. Yes, that would be a nice thing FOR YOU. Yes, I realize your employees are paid at least $60-80K Minimum in the Bay Area. Some more than $100K. The Bay area is one of the most expensive areas in CA and the US to live in. But what about the rest of us that don't make YOUR salary? The game is flat getting too expensive any more for the majority of players. You have slowly raised the repair times on the Raid Fleets, FM fleets, Chore fleets to at least 3-4 HOURS per ship. So we are back to 12-20 HOURS of repair for a fleet-exactly where we were no so long ago when you weren't at Kixeye. We want to play but this just getting ridiculous, man. Take a look at what you are doing and try for just a minute to look at it from the PLAYERS POINT OF VIEW. We are quite sick of you guys completely ignoring what the players would like to see-EVEN THOUGH YOU SAID "Player First". Empty words Rampage. These changes ARE NOT player first-period.
Pretty soon you are going to get trolled by select few who would say:
1) WIth token, any ship build is instant now 2) Its your issue if your SY is busy 3) Nothing is wrong with the game or suggested changed 4) Nothing Kix is doing is geared towards more coining.
You see, there are players who tow the line blindly.
Some other players might respond to those posters with the below.
1] Debatable. Might get enough coin for 1 ship during a TLC (If lucky), but not a whole fleet unless you look at months of TLC plus get all the tokens in FM, Raid & Bounty. 2] Naturally, it is the players who are adding new content to game every 1-2 weeks forcing shipyard to remain busy. 3] Seems legit. People probably leave cause they love the game so much and its doing so well. 4] Not at all. Simply because TLC's are now time limited plus you need to repeat them as items are also limited on raid, bounty TLC does not by all mean kix is trying to get more out of less.
level 80 player pretty new 17mill id , have some dragons infact 3 not fully finished and u expect me to catch up in this game , new players always screwed as much as the old players when is kixeye going to make the game exciting for all players ????

Quit screwing around Kix. Make the FM targets Like maybe levels 720 and 721. And you have to have 4 Fully built Fleets, Ranked, and built to your specs to Beat One of the Targets. Also Maybe add about 20 More armor slots to each Boat so i can add more armor. I love refitting. Thanks
dont care if the 112 or the 117 get removed as not been able to do them anyway , but having said that i feel this is a sly move by kixeye now that the greta`s dragon has now become available meaning that we could possibly do them

What the Heck is a BORT? Is that the New Monkeys I heard Kix is Training to speak on Their Behalf
wtg kixeye...I can't even do a 117 yet and you'll be pulling it ..I can barely do a 112 with 4 hr repair ...what are you thinking ? do you only see dollar signs in front of you? seriously don't you see that decisions like this affect the whole community and you're just making more players give up? is this what you're after ....get all players to quit ? all the changes you've made lately have made absolutely no sense if people don't coin FM they're not going to start now...you make this task difficult you're going to lose players in massses ..every time I log on there are barely 24,000 players online..this figure used to be 90,000 when the game was actually fun to play....keep this up you mind as well pull the plug on what was once a great game..talking about digging your own grave ..yikes

I think the Bort works there thats how he can play coin free LOL
think most people forget the fm was made to help people grow and better there fleets was never made to have to coin it kixeye dose not give to craps about this game plus they have people that lie to us like rampage who keeps telling us hang in there kixeye making changes to the game to make it fun again to play still not seeing it as the repair time keeps going up build time harder raids harder fm i bet there trying to find a way to where u got to coin to get res
i have checked the calender a couple of times to see if it is April 1st.
Kix you lied when you changed the FM targets mid cycle when you said you wouldn’t and many quit then, now you are changing them again for what I can only assume is to see if you can get more to quit.
I have seen some incompent & dishonest things in my time but this must rank up there as one of the highest.
whine whine whine, are you guys sissies or captains
LOL. READ the FINE print. BP is a "Free to Play" game where you spend months to fine tune your fleets without coining, then when you get there, changes are afoot so you need more months to get there and the cycle repeats. In between the builds/re-fits, KIXEYE encourages those higher levels to flatten your base with their new techs so you will always on the "catch up" stage UNLESS you COIN.
Of course, when you do coin, you will get some satisfaction in doing those new targets or hit other low level players.
Next up, KIX will increase damage from all targets so either you coin for repairs OR sit and twiddle your thumbs while your fleet repairs.
As every target is now hull specific, you will have tons of free time to read & post on forums, OR ... GO GET A LIFE WHERE THERE IS SUNSHINE & BLUE SKIES.
KIXEYE WILL DO WHAT KIXEYE DOES, so PUT UP or SHIP OUT.!!!!!
You know what is particularly insidious is the so called "4th of July sale" players sinking money into refits that are basically obsolete. Wow, no lube with that play.
i did coin for a fleet a few months back and by the following month it could only hit low end targets.
so, KIX should actually add a disclaimer like "BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK" to all their offers ..... even GOLD offers because.............................
there is so much forum posts about players boasting about spending 1 or 2 coins for repairs and completing TLCs/FM/RAID/Bounty that the best way forward for KIX is to up dmg so these players will continue to COIN.
so, this game, Battle Pirate is aptly named............ KIXEYE the pirate and us the victim. Battle happens when we try to convince KIXEYE to do otherwise.
With the introduction of Greta’s Inferno Dragon in the July Event, “Supremacy”, the team wanted to share with you the plan for changes to FM targets over the next three months.
Two new high-level targets are being introduced next week. They are the 120 and the 121. These targets are going to have the highest points payouts of any FM targets at 600k each. These targets will also drop shards for the Cheetah Scattergun and the Predator Missile. These targets are going to be restricted to ships of tier 6 and above. These targets do have the Draconian Anti-Charged Armor Tech, you will want Zynthonite Armor D5-XM for the best protection. The recommended fleet for these targets is a fleet of Inferno Dragons with Greta’s Inferno Dragon (flagship) at the lead.
The new 105 will be a high-level Blitz Target for the FM. This target will not be as challenging as the 120 & 121, but it’s recommended that you you bring at least a fleet of five Inferno Dragons to tackle this target.
We will not be removing any targets in July. The 117 target will be removed starting in the August FM, and the 112 will be removed starting in the September FM. We will also be adding in a new target in August. It will be another target for the Inferno Dragon. Not as difficult as the 120 or 121.
The team wanted to share this information with you ahead of time. We wanted to make sure that anyone who has not built their Inferno Dragon Fleets will have an opportunity to build their Inferno Dragon fleets before the targets change.
Greta’s Inferno Dragon will be available in the ladder for July Event starting July 12th. The regular Inferno Dragon will be available in the open store in the July Event. Starting with the July FM update the regular Inferno Dragon, along with its associated components, will be available in the FM as well.
This is an honest to god, not trolling you ( for once ) question..
the new 120 and 121 have the anti charged armor guns so we need the new D5-XM from the FM target.. You do understand that people have been complaining about the amount of damage the FM targets are taking.. How long we have to repair our fleets for one target.. and now you are telling us, that next week the targets are now going to be anti charged.. So change your armors AND add almost 2.5 hours of repair time per boat, 12.5 hours for the full fleet?
You do understand that a dead IB fleet is now close to 30 hours of repair time?
THIRTY HOURS of repair time. we are at almost 5.5 hours per boat..
Lets talk refit times now since my current targets of the 117 are being removed in 30 days.. JUST to remove my charged armor, and put on the new armor ( which is not very good ) I am looking at 7 days 10 hours.. or very close to 30 days of refits.. That does not take into account the changes to the fleet I have to make due to the GID being out ( changing out Anti locations at the very least maybe some special changes.. OR does that account for the GID that needs to be built. The GID mocked up is a 20 day build time.
You do not supply the amount of tokens needed, to have the GID + refits to the IDs to be done before the 117s are removed. ( which is another bad idea that I will not go into here )
Who came up with the decision to remove the 117s which makes zero sense, doing it in the timeframe that you have laid out is even more head scratching. We cannot refit our ships fast enough to be ready for the 120/121s before you remove the 117s.. almost 60 days of build time, in a 30 day period.
TLDR: new armor adds too much repair time. almost 30 hours for a chore fleet.. ( have we ever had a fleet take that long to repair? ) I think this is a record.
not enough time to refit our IDs and build the GID before you remove the current targets. = not smart.
Removing the 112s already????? Go ahead and remove the 117s. From what I've seen, peeps prefer multiple 112s over a single 117.
The 112s are being removed in September, the 117s in August. We wanted to give plenty of time to update/build your Inferno Dragon Fleets + Greta's Inferno Dragon.
as I stated above, you failed at that task. You cannot refit the IDs and build the GID before the 117s are gone.
So, refits on a fleet we have already taken valuable 'yard' time/coin to build? We now have a Flag to build and P-Tides and P-Cents AND a new raid fleet that will need building before the August raid? Isn't there something along the lines of false advertising running rampant in the Kixeye programming model here? How many times have you pushed a pixel product as one thing, only to say Oops! and nerf it...said, "this is the hull for this target and associated components" and now, "Gee, we're changing up the targets and you'll have to refit that fleet you FINALLY got to work in those targets...well, because we thought you were to stupid to manage a work around and we aren't making money on them any more". Can you guys PLEASE fecking give us a break here? And NO the hull specific build tokens are (to few and far between and STILL cost us MONEY to acquire because of the outrageous damage levels in most TLC targets) not sufficient recompense for poor programming (zero beta testing) and general jerking us around by our bank accounts that Kixeye has become notoriously known for. Is there anyone left working there who has good business sense as well as a sense of decency and fairness in the pursuit of a sound and solid product for an obviously loyal, albeit deteriorating consumer base?
Removing the 112s already????? Go ahead and remove the 117s. From what I've seen, peeps prefer multiple 112s over a single 117.
The 112s are being removed in September, the 117s in August. We wanted to give plenty of time to update/build your Inferno Dragon Fleets + Greta's Inferno Dragon.
I did notice the September date. I'm hoping kix keeps the Dragon build tokens flowing. Appreciate kix providing guidance on the build.
I'm just more concerned of the armor refits. Many players already have charged armors which took 1.5 days each. Now the new armor which also takes 1.5 days each.
At least we get to build the greta dragon right the first time.
If you think kix would give out the ULTIMATE BUILD on ANYTHING, YOUR MORE NAIVE THAN A THREE YEAR OLD!!!
I made the mistake of buying a prefited fleet once (I'LL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN) and they didn't do squat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
other forced refits to old fleet to do exactly what we already doing and no value for our coins and time new armors add 9 hours repair for a full fleet (22 m*25 times=550 m /60=9.1) well if you consider this as an exciting new feature is because you lost the grip with reality
My opinion is neither copyrighted nor trademarked, and it's price competitive. If you like, I'll trade for one of yours.
I think the armor build times should be drastically reduced since we all have to refit with the non-charged armors now. Bit unfair to us players but I think Kixeye should step in and help us for once.
Will the new targets have charge armor depletion like the raid top targets?
These targets do have the Draconian Anti-Charged Armor Tech, you will want Zynthonite Armor D5-XM for the best protection. I have the article above to reflect this.
Rampage-I have a serious question. You posted suggested builds-a nice touch. I think that's a good step. BUT-did you even take a second or two and look at the build time for those suggested hulls? Over 19 DAYS for the Reg Inf Dragon and over 21 DAYS for the Gretas. Why don't you understand(or more likely don't care) that the build times are back to the point they were a few years ago when people said they were sick of this crap. 3 WEEKS to build ONE SHIP. Really? I know you guys are hoping people will hate that and coin the ships at over $100 EACH. Yes, that would be a nice thing FOR YOU. Yes, I realize your employees are paid at least $60-80K Minimum in the Bay Area. Some more than $100K. The Bay area is one of the most expensive areas in CA and the US to live in. But what about the rest of us that don't make YOUR salary? The game is flat getting too expensive any more for the majority of players. You have slowly raised the repair times on the Raid Fleets, FM fleets, Chore fleets to at least 3-4 HOURS per ship. So we are back to 12-20 HOURS of repair for a fleet-exactly where we were no so long ago when you weren't at Kixeye. We want to play but this just getting ridiculous, man. Take a look at what you are doing and try for just a minute to look at it from the PLAYERS POINT OF VIEW. We are quite sick of you guys completely ignoring what the players would like to see-EVEN THOUGH YOU SAID "Player First". Empty words Rampage. These changes ARE NOT player first-period.
it doesnt take too long to refit your IDs with the new gear. a couple weeks max for a free player. So a free player should have the flag finished as well by the next raid.
dont get your ships sunk and repair times are not an issue at all.
Go look in the dock at how long it takes to refit the IDs..
You obviously have not looked, or you are trolling for the sake of trolling.. A free player has no chance of building the GID,and refitting the IDs, before the 117s are gone.

So Bort (Whatever that is) ...you dont have a job? You sit in your parents basement and play games all day and all night? I think your view of reality is off. You OBVIOUSLY have no idea what your talking about when it comes to this game....do you even play or do you randomly troll forums to make yourself feel better? please stop posting about subjects you know nothing about.

These targets do have the Draconian Anti-Charged Armor Tech, you will want Zynthonite Armor D5-XM for the best protection. I have the article above to reflect this.
Rampage-I have a serious question. You posted suggested builds-a nice touch. I think that's a good step. BUT-did you even take a second or two and look at the build time for those suggested hulls? Over 19 DAYS for the Reg Inf Dragon and over 21 DAYS for the Gretas. Why don't you understand(or more likely don't care) that the build times are back to the point they were a few years ago when people said they were sick of this crap. 3 WEEKS to build ONE SHIP. Really? I know you guys are hoping people will hate that and coin the ships at over $100 EACH. Yes, that would be a nice thing FOR YOU. Yes, I realize your employees are paid at least $60-80K Minimum in the Bay Area. Some more than $100K. The Bay area is one of the most expensive areas in CA and the US to live in. But what about the rest of us that don't make YOUR salary? The game is flat getting too expensive any more for the majority of players. You have slowly raised the repair times on the Raid Fleets, FM fleets, Chore fleets to at least 3-4 HOURS per ship. So we are back to 12-20 HOURS of repair for a fleet-exactly where we were no so long ago when you weren't at Kixeye. We want to play but this just getting ridiculous, man. Take a look at what you are doing and try for just a minute to look at it from the PLAYERS POINT OF VIEW. We are quite sick of you guys completely ignoring what the players would like to see-EVEN THOUGH YOU SAID "Player First". Empty words Rampage. These changes ARE NOT player first-period.
it doesnt take too long to refit your IDs with the new gear. a couple weeks max for a free player. So a free player should have the flag finished as well by the next raid.
dont get your ships sunk and repair times are not an issue at all.
What the Heck is a BORT? Is that the New Monkeys I heard Kix is Training to speak on Their Behalf
lol no. just someone who used to play a somewhat challenging strategy game, which gradually shifted to slightly challenging, and is now pretty much a cakewalk for us non-coiners who know how to play strategy games.
So Bort (Whatever that is) ...you dont have a job? You sit in your parents basement and play games all day and all night? I think your view of reality is off. You OBVIOUSLY have no idea what your talking about when it comes to this game....do you even play or do you randomly troll forums to make yourself feel better? please stop posting about subjects you know nothing about.
Bort is always first one to troll players' complaints. He didn't disappoint this time as well. LOL.
I just can't believe this! I've barely finished my dragons with charged armor and now your telling me I have to strip it off and apply new armour....and I still need to finish my protocenturion...my prototideseekers and my mantas. I just can't with this game anymore...you guys are just way too much!! I'll miss the game for sure
I mentioned this elsewhere, but here's a serious thought....
If they are truly adding the dragons to the FM, that means we should also be seeing dragon tokens added to the FM. As it stands right now, that means there should be about 3-4 days of build tokens per week for just the dragon hull. That's on top of the standard any hull tokens we already get.
I dont like the targets being changed, and I don't like them screwing the player base (which they are, no doubt). However, if they do as they have done with all the other FM ships, the tokens will help.
1] Debatable. Might get enough coin for 1 ship during a TLC (If lucky), but not a whole fleet unless you look at months of TLC plus get all the tokens in FM, Raid & Bounty.
2] Naturally, it is the players who are adding new content to game every 1-2 weeks forcing shipyard to remain busy.
3] Seems legit. People probably leave cause they love the game so much and its doing so well.
4] Not at all. Simply because TLC's are now time limited plus you need to repeat them as items are also limited on raid, bounty TLC does not by all mean kix is trying to get more out of less.

I, like so many others, just don't care anymore.
Do whatever you want to do.
You've already ruined the game, so really whats left to say ?
if people don't coin FM they're not going to start now...you make this task difficult you're going to lose players in massses ..every time I log on there are barely 24,000 players online..this figure used to be 90,000 when the game was actually fun to play....keep this up you mind as well pull the plug on what was once a great game..talking about digging your own grave ..yikes
Kix you lied when you changed the FM targets mid cycle when you said you wouldn’t and many quit then, now you are changing them again for what I can only assume is to see if you can get more to quit.
I have seen some incompent & dishonest things in my time but this must rank up there as one of the highest.
LOL. READ the FINE print. BP is a "Free to Play" game where you spend months to fine tune your fleets without coining, then when you get there, changes are afoot so you need more months to get there and the cycle repeats. In between the builds/re-fits, KIXEYE encourages those higher levels to flatten your base with their new techs so you will always on the "catch up" stage UNLESS you COIN.
Of course, when you do coin, you will get some satisfaction in doing those new targets or hit other low level players.
Next up, KIX will increase damage from all targets so either you coin for repairs OR sit and twiddle your thumbs while your fleet repairs.
As every target is now hull specific, you will have tons of free time to read & post on forums, OR ... GO GET A LIFE WHERE THERE IS SUNSHINE & BLUE SKIES.
KIXEYE WILL DO WHAT KIXEYE DOES, so PUT UP or SHIP OUT.!!!!!
so, KIX should actually add a disclaimer like "BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK" to all their offers ..... even GOLD offers because.............................
there is so much forum posts about players boasting about spending 1 or 2 coins for repairs and completing TLCs/FM/RAID/Bounty that the best way forward for KIX is to up dmg so these players will continue to COIN.
so, this game, Battle Pirate is aptly named............ KIXEYE the pirate and us the victim. Battle happens when we try to convince KIXEYE to do otherwise.
the new 120 and 121 have the anti charged armor guns so we need the new D5-XM from the FM target.. You do understand that people have been complaining about the amount of damage the FM targets are taking.. How long we have to repair our fleets for one target.. and now you are telling us, that next week the targets are now going to be anti charged.. So change your armors AND add almost 2.5 hours of repair time per boat, 12.5 hours for the full fleet?
You do understand that a dead IB fleet is now close to 30 hours of repair time?
THIRTY HOURS of repair time. we are at almost 5.5 hours per boat..
Lets talk refit times now since my current targets of the 117 are being removed in 30 days..
JUST to remove my charged armor, and put on the new armor ( which is not very good ) I am looking at 7 days 10 hours.. or very close to 30 days of refits..
That does not take into account the changes to the fleet I have to make due to the GID being out ( changing out Anti locations at the very least maybe some special changes.. OR does that account for the GID that needs to be built. The GID mocked up is a 20 day build time.
You do not supply the amount of tokens needed, to have the GID + refits to the IDs to be done before the 117s are removed. ( which is another bad idea that I will not go into here )
Who came up with the decision to remove the 117s which makes zero sense, doing it in the timeframe that you have laid out is even more head scratching. We cannot refit our ships fast enough to be ready for the 120/121s before you remove the 117s.. almost 60 days of build time, in a 30 day period.
TLDR:
new armor adds too much repair time. almost 30 hours for a chore fleet.. ( have we ever had a fleet take that long to repair? ) I think this is a record.
If you think kix would give out the ULTIMATE BUILD on ANYTHING, YOUR MORE NAIVE THAN A THREE YEAR OLD!!!
I made the mistake of buying a prefited fleet once (I'LL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN) and they didn't do squat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHEN were we put first?? I must have blinked and missed it, LMFAO!!!
