I just started a build less than 12 hours ago! Now I'm considering canceling a 10 day build, but I used reusable credits in the build. Anyone know if I still get those credits back if the ship doesn't finish the initial build?!
Oh thanks lol, I wasn't playing when I asked it, I thought it would have been over even before I could see it. Well lucky me, my punisher build finishing just before discount...
LMFAO you all know what this is for and who its aimed at, coiners. they will coin cheaper builds for 3 hours. f you kixeye you greedy bastards. another example of who they want playing there games wow nice one we all suffer and if that 3 hours is true those coiners gonna be dropping it low.
If Kixeye really cared they would give us a "credit" we could use at any time in the future when our schedule permits, perhaps with an expiration of a week or two to avoid long term abuse / accumulation.
But instead we get slapped in the face.
I'm building my second Punisher NINE DAYS BUILD TIME and at this point I kinda don't want to build this bullshit Cutter just out of spite.
#TeamFRIENDKNOWN - What did the aliens ever do to us Rebels?
This is directed to coiners only, and to encourage coiining. Its nothing more than a reduction in the amount of coins needed to speed ships during a 3 hour window.
Remember, 100% of Kix's focus is to encourage coining. Every aspect of every decision involving every feature is focused on that.
If you remember to look at VC with that in mind, it all makes sense.
The benefit of the repair reduction is not worth as much as the coins it would take to finish my current build in order to start a new build in the three second window where the repair reduction applies, so thanks, but no thanks.
i just want to say, FU to all of those that made this possible. i am (and most end game people) are in the middle of a long build and wont get to use this discount.

i have a 24 day build I started the day before this was posted , kixeye must be crazy thinking 3 hr ship construction discount even helps LOL
now if they changed it to 50% off any build started or in progress if you coin discount ..
as it looks right now it may be directed at new players with little ships to build..
Build. Blank. Hulls. Trust me, you DO NOT want to have your ship factory constantly busy for 24 days.
Not building blank hulls creates so much extra pressure on your factory schedule. By denying you flexibility death by AI thanks good advise.

You will not get those credits back if they are insta fit ones.
But I doubt they add up to 2.5 days in equip time
You are probably better off canceling and starting over in the discount. You should consult the ship calc first though to be sure.
This is a additional reason for building blanks.

Build blank hulls, then fit them. I use this strategy and I've only ever missed one build/refit reduction.
Blank punisher = 5day
Blank t6 cutter = 5day 21hr (in won't learn it's name until I see it useful)
Blank dom = 14 days 21hrs
You're just lucky that you haven't missed more than one. I build blank hulls and have only used 2 or 3 of these refit/build discounts because I'm mid build/refit usually.
They give us < 24hr notice on a game to where blank hulls are now taking 5+ days, it really is just a slap in the face. Even new tokens for swarms are 2 or 3 day per token. Fusion disintegrator is 1 day each. Doing builds and refits separately still doesn't ensure you won't miss an event.
Question for kixeye...if im allready building a ship will that build go down 20% when this kicks in or will it stay the same. i dont want to cancel it and start again
I have the same question as I have a Punisher near the end of its build. It is just long enough to not be able to take advantage of this build time reduction if it does not reduce currently building ships.
It won't apply... a lot of people are complaining about this... 'build the perfect fleet' lol wtf during 3 hrs? T3 ships take 3 DAYS. How tf do we make a decent ship much less a 'perfect fleet'
I didn't figure it would. I have just under 2 days left for my Punisher and was hoping just to finish it earlier and start a refit of my carrier to better squads or start a blank Decimator. Heck if it did, i would even consider coining the rest of the time away.
Kix, if you read this... maybe a token for a certain amount of time off would be better than springing this on a majority of people that already have ship builds going and therefore cannot take advantage of it. .. yay a constructive thought.

Kixeye Logic: Players want 24 hour refit discount, then here have a 3 hour ship build reduction. That'll teach them to want us to do stuff...
Lol

The 20 percent ship build discount is availabel to everyone just so long as you coin like F**K .. greedy basta**s.

That must be why they mention building Decimators for the April event.
Lol i dont need those cutters yet... give a refit reduction and people might be more willing to coin
Why are they giving us this now? People are most likely building their decimators and cannot benefit from this
Players should be sent a 20% reduction token to use when there builds are finished. This would be more fair. When is anything ever fair though?
*their
It is stupid they are running the build discount before they release the dim cutter crafting deal (stupid to me but a baller move for kixeye)
I will attempt to verify the length of time on this offer.
If you started a blank decimator during the early part of the last event your factory should be very close or clear during this discount period.

Overall, making it 3 hours is just a crappy move.

Nope it doesnt. In fact we were even told to coin or cancel our builds.
