FFS! Why announce this on the same day! How are we supposed to use this if we already have something cooking in the ship factory? what must we do? Cancel the build half way to start a new one with a 20% less duration? Yea right! A little heads up would be nice! A forum post!
Don't. I missed it first too. Ajso, it brings more light to the "awesome" refit time.
Usually the deals start at 3 PST so probably won't. And I really don't see a point to a 3 hour only refit time.
The short notice and timing could be improved. TBH, it does benefit F2P if they have it on the calendar, those who benefit the most are those who purchase time speed ups.
That serves a positive and negative that sort of contributes to kixeye unwillingness to allow us prior notice.
So at the end of the day, I have to give the devils his due. Kixeye has a pretty good reason for withholding its sales and discounts as it would be a factor where the regulars impulsive spenders who have to coin a fleet X immediately are also likely to use a 20% off to make other versions of fleets within that window. The devil gets his due and we all get the pleasure of playing this game. This is a company who that wishes not to just pay the power bill, but take a vacation to five star luxury locations with money in the bank.
However, you could use some of the data science to predict when players are least likely to build a fleet to announce a refit/build discount within 4-7 days to avoid having to cancel builds to get the best results. So I lack the information to honestly say Kixeye has the ability to predict and plan these bonus events.

for a refit/build bonus to work, it has to last a week. Not so we can build/refit a bunch of ships in a week, but because dumbass kixs power creep rape makes it so everyone, other than $100+/day coiners, are behind on MONTHS of JUST REFITS. We build one ship with new tech we farmed from event, then BOOM! new tech makes the tech on that ship not uselfess, but much much much less affective. so we refit it, say from disintegrator to xeno disintegrator plus heavy armor that we can hold. that there is 8 days. then, part-way threw that build BOOM again, main event and we get another hull we want to build. Kix is to **** stupid to understand that if they make these events two months apart intead of one they would make more money, but paul is all like "AAAWWW! RELEASE MORE **** AND GET 70% OF WHAT I WOULD GET IN 60 DAYS IN 30DAYS!" and instead of lasting 2 years at 120% that dumbfuck want whatever he can get in half the time. This game use to have 80K players on a regular bases without events, now it has 50K during an event, and people like me posting **** like Kix is retardes and paul is a greedy little umpa lumpa on a weekly basis and not getting penalized because the "for the players,by the players" no longer applies. because kix isn't listening. because paul will fire them like he did LXC if they do...that greedy little ****. anyways, not recommending anything kix does to anyone because of that little umpa lumpa. all I want from this game is to see what the end ships look like with power rape. it will be like one week we have the last xeno ship, the next we have the new **** alian hull that takes 3 weeks to build with new tech that will hold its own against xeno fleet with a full fleet of them alians, but then the next weekend we get new tech for that ship only that takes 2 weeks to refit per ship, but that one ship will bend the **** out of the xeno ships and one alian vs 6 xeno and alian wins because a coiner bought it. and kix was like "aaaw we wanted that persons money more than we wanted them 60 players he raped with that one build so the normal player can go **** themself" like some dumb **** little rich kid I'm just saying what 80% of VEGA players are thinking, and 90% are doing(which is saying don't play kixeye games because they rape you at the end to get your money) VEGA was the best game I played for close to 3 years, and then KIXEYE and PUAL PREACE had to ruin an amazing maybe 10 year game off and on with power creep rape to make a tiny bit more money than if they had the balls to stick it out a little longer for THE PLAYERS(part of their slogan) to have fun with it at its peak. instead of "for the players by the players" it is "for the money by paul#ifyouarefortheplayersyourarefiredsincerelypaul"
Im SOOO glad that starts at 2am my time ends at 5am my time and i need sleep before i have to go to school. good job kix you could at least do us all a favor and make it 12 hours so everyone could participate.
This is ridiculous. Only a short warning and then only for 3 hours. It just goes to show that Kixeye have got **** rocks in their head. Don't they realise that half the world will be asleep so some of us will be completely unable to utilise this. Idiots. I'm getting to like this game less and less
3 hours it states. March 15th from 12 pm to 3pm PST
Dang, I really feel dumb now. Hopefully the Decimator deal starts before or during. That would make the punisher refits fly by.
Looks like you're confused, build ≠ refit. Your Punisher refits will cost the full price.
Decimators then

#KIXEYE LOGIC
release new hull that takes 6 days to build empty
3 days after (if you got the hull you might of started it in your 3 month-behind refit/build schedule) you still have 3 days left in the build. You have to pay close to 1200 coins to finish that build and start the next with the bonus, but you want to use the newish tech to make it a good ship! WRONG!!!! next alian decimation that tech will be second rate. since xeno whatever will come out for it. Youre better off either A-not making XENO hulls other than one farming fleet. (cant hit a base with them with retarted fleet gat applying to bases to like really?wtf, how dumb are your hitting a fuckng lvl 43 base with MAX lvl 48-pretty **** stupid," B-playing Farmville and only farming and making a single ship with the best tech or C-quiting vega. I think a lot of people are picking c. you know why? not hard, only on 75% of the posts on forums, but dumb paul wont let any of them posts go. they get deleted. YES KIX CAN DELETE POSTS. and then only a few see them and its like wtf? So kix releases dumb **** like thye IPhone 20 years early and nobody buys it, but hey, keep going. don't let them get use to it and love it. just cramb more dumb **** **** down the throat of the average player, which 9/10 has said SLOW THE **** DOWN whether they be coiner or non-coiner. LISTED TO YOUR **** PLAYERS KIXEYE. and this is not aimed as much as the DEVs as it is PAUL umpa lumpa **** #whateveryourlastnameis. LET US FUCKNG PLAYERS ENJOY OUR **** GAME! without us this game wouldn't ended 2 1/2 years ago. we don't want your power creep rape this year, we don't want to spend $2k this year alone playing "keep up" we want to spend $5k in the next 2 years enjoying the **** your designers came up with that we do enjoy. Not the fist in **** buy this and this and this and this just to keep up bulshit. pull your head out of your **** and listen to me, I represent 85% of your players, and I'm not just ready to leave VEGA, but WE ARE READY TO LEAVE KIXEYE
Coin, Baby ... Coin.. that's what they are after. They want you to coin the finish of a current build and then maybe coin another and then kick off a fresh one. Then they will offer a refit reduction trying to get you to coin the build you just kicked off.. XD
for a refit/build bonus to work, it has to last a week. Not so we can build/refit a bunch of ships in a week, but because dumbass kixs power creep rape makes it so everyone, other than $100+/day coiners, are behind on MONTHS of JUST REFITS.

So what is wrong with making it run the full 24 hours (or at least 12)??? Then everybody will be able to get 1 day off a 5 day build - which is really going to make a huge difference for the event - which starts in 2 days!!! Oh sorry - forgot - ou need to save 20% of your coins, build a fleet of 6 decimators, buy the mark upgrade kits, mark them all up to mark V BEFORE the event starts. My bad
Anyone know if the discount lasts for just these 3 hours or for the entire build time of the ship, that was started within that period (like the discussion for the recent refit discount)?
It starts 3 hours before the cw. Atleast it's easy to track that way. I won't be able to use it though since I'm building a ship on 2 accounts and still have no refit bay either.

If you start it in 3h discount timeframe it'll last until finish or cancel.
Well ****. Still though, with just a 3 hr window, how many people you think are gonna be ready?
I suppose thank you, but I won't be getting up at 3 am for this.
Ia it going to alter any current builds or only new like before? Since it says "build" instead of refit, one can be hopeful. XD
How are we supposed to use this if we already have something cooking in the ship factory?
what must we do?
Cancel the build half way to start a new one with a 20% less duration?
Yea right!
A little heads up would be nice!

Ok,
20% faster ship construction sounded nice...
BUT it lasts 3 hours
So I guess there will be players that cant use it...
What with people who have current builds going into days/weeks running???
So I guess it's just kixeye telling us to coin ship builds in that 3 hour window???
/care
WHERE ARE YOU GUYS SEEING THIS?!?!?!?!?
OMG TELL ME RITE NAWWWWWWW!!!!
in schedule
