Rebels,

Please use this thread to share your thoughts, questions, and concerns for the week of September 2nd. Let us know what you think!

VEGA Security

Since there is currently no plan/release date for Harvester grind targets, can it be released as an event prize again?

Why is the MOST important attribute  for kinetic  weapons not given to this new commander. speed

-but extra pierce? irrelevant

- but more range? it's a hinder when speed isn't added

- but hes to base you say- basing is a cake walk hes not needed try again

-kinetic modifiers 10% dmg- if it misses big deal..

-10% kinetic resist -  decent i guess

-extra  screen damage, ok hes new anti segway captain

please return  him to school for proper education  on combat

Has there been any consideration in adding the dreadnought fragments to event stores for purchase? The behemoth in particular as that is the oldest hull. This was done once before but the cost was a bit ridiculous if I recall. 

This seems a more reasonable cost... 

• mk1 10 fragments cost 100k intel
• mk2  10 fragments cost 250k intel
• mk3  10 fragments cost 500k intel
• mk4  10 fragments cost 750k intel
• mk5   10 fragments cost 1 mil intel
• elite   10 fragments cost 1.25 intel

A few times you ran the double fragment drop... the problem with Overseers is the very slow spawn rate for each of the tiers...  If 3 or 4 people in the same sector happen to be hunting the same tier as you the waiting period to actually hit a fleet is painfully slow.

Why the Zealot don’t gain Orator’s DPS addition?

they did this i believe ONCE had all behometh fragments in a event store

Like wise level 4 RI  should be buyable  as well

people loved it!

and it was never seen again..

Yurker

Why is there no Legion Mk up boxes? Is it gonna run the same fate as rupture and osprey once had? not to be released ever again? at least until challenges were a thing.
Legions always were Mk up-able, so there shouldn't be many complications in implementing it, just use the same fleet you use for Hellfire since Legion is technically a battleship, but since it was "Tier5's X ship" by Devs words it should run under specialist runs.

We need Zealot to gain T8.

Well, if phased solenoid affects kaon driver, then i know what we can use on the sovereign now against pharmakon. And plexus can use cyclotrons just to be able to hit something at least once in the battle. Such an ironic weapons switch.

Wizard Prang

Earlier this week, the combat servers went down for at over an hour. Like many players, I reported this and sat around like an idiot waiting for the problem to be resolved, which it was. I am still waiting for some kind of apology ("Sorry for the inconvenience, here's 100 coins for your trouble") or at least recognition of the problem and/or resolution.

I suspect that I shall wait in vain...

phased   doesnt effect farmakon, and cyclo beam is to slow vs farmakon..

Removing the ship build and refit tokens and the Ship Riot? What a cheap kix idea. Giving bastions with one hand and taking away with both!

egeveke

Why are you removing the Ship Times Tokens from the game. Getting these tokens made me farm the daily events and made me farm the ship token riot. Now you give me less reason to get online.

we were   using  them for unintended means? hehe    I dunno probably  to much free build refit currency hurting  sales?

they arent going to tell us bottom line

@VEGA Security - I'm not aware of current plans to release this in an upcoming event, but I'll ask!

@UGA-Morlok - I believe Dreadnought materials in the event store was a one-time thing - I'm not aware of plans to reintroduce these into event stores.

@hunterjeff30269 - Spawned Ships have their own stats since they're counted as separate ships, which is likely why they don't inherit that bonus.

@yurker - I'll bring up Legion upgrades to the team! Hopefully we'll be able to make these available once again in the future!
