Do these boss targets sit still or do they move like the other harvesters before?
if the harvesters move towards you thats actually better for you. Less time in the missile range. But i doubt we are that lucky.
Exactly I guess it's harvesters shooting "f u" missiles at us... while running AWAY. OF course it has to run away, if it runs towards us it gets in our range pretty quick, and kix doesn't want that...
You are forgetting the other options, It will charge at you but now its "fu" missiles have no minimum range.
No that won't be the case since OP has mentioned that close up its vulnerable, so I HOPE, just a faint shimmer of light of hope, that close up only the gatling canon can fire at us.
.
Just looking at the tech we can get this event its not even worth our time or money the cluster missile is a 100% flop it misses 90% of the time and the alien version is probably not gonna do much better for double the mass and quadrupled damage cause it will still miss 90% of the time with short **** range may i add. For killing aliens sure but i am guessing the fleets that we have to kill to get the xeno cluster are setup so you have to use xeno cluster and that new fancy armor with 40% alien resistance and 50% explosive that hopefully most people got in the mobilization 3 days ago oh wait 3 days to refit armor that takes 1 day a peice to refit coin that **** on right 30 bucks per punisher to refit just that armor now what if you had to change the build because of the armor thats another few days make it 40 bucks a punisher fleet of 6 gives you 240 bucks just to refit the ships now lets say you already coined them to mk5 thats another 300 bucks and probably another 200-400 to coin and refit them. also the cutter fleet same **** but little less coins a pop to refit to a decent level but still 300 bucks to mk5 and 200-400 for the build and get the mk5s instantly thats about 500-700 bucks per fleet in less then 1 month and thats if you waited for the right time to coin the refits. Yeah kixeye nice money grab its probably only gonna work on 1% of the 10% that coin
Erebus LVL 69
Kixeye give everyone 10 billion coins for sticking it out with you this far
So you guys managed to write 8 pages of pure hate in just few hours before even even starts and without seeing the enemy..
I too expected the coop targets to have some fun with friends and I too am unhappy that those were thrown away, but really.. Let's wait and see how the event goes. I know most of you have been around longer than me, but still - CS explained that the harvester will be down scaled in correspondence to them being solo targets now. Maybe they lie, maybe they don't. Just wait few more hours and report back with actual data and suggestions without all that hate.
P.S. I'm still not going anywhere near the new hives, but I really do hope that the lowered difficulty of the harvesters is true and enough.
How do you know that? Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. I would like to stay optimistic
Clearly you haven't been around long then... Let me give you the basics on how kix works They post something and it looks terrible. event starts and its even worse than we thought we complain. we get the finger. they make it even shittier the next time around. the cycle repeats itself. Those of us that's been around long enough know that this is going to be a shitfest
Not easier, but maybe, just maybe - they will be more efficient in terms of points/damage taken. We'll have to wait and see - that's what my post is all about

You are right, I started half an year ago - maybe that's why I enjoy the game. Also not even aiming at being competitive helps me a lot. I guess someday when I get tired of farming different fleets I'll be in your boat.

Math is correct, however considering how the recent events we should expect another chance next month to get the blue prints. I will work on my new fittings without coining them, and hopefully will have some ships ready for the next event, in meantime i will not care about having a top fleet. Is not worth to spend coins to refit what could be obsolete in few weeks... hence my strategy is to built blank hulls and fit them once I am convinced that the techs will not become obsolete in short span of time. If i cannot kill the boss...let be it, i will try again next event
Kixeye, if you're going to release gear and make it obsolete in the same month, at least give us a refit bay.
Your argument that it would break (some aspect of) the game is invalid. You have already shown your willingness to break the game. While you're breaking it, make a refit bay.

Dude you have a mk6 punisher lvl70+ fleet.. it's the best... the decimators are just one step higher...

Of course it doesn't say that xeno cluster is drcimator only, I guess it can be put on all XENO ships like the normal version...
Also @Cyrus Leung I am waiting for your team unknown to release some strategies to kill these without having like 10-12 hours of rep... I know you do a good job of releasing strategies, but you could do a better job of telling kix to stop releasing this ****... you are a VC mod after all and you hate is counted more than like the entire community's hate...

Will xeno munitions give AoE to xeno disintegrater cannons?
or 0 meter X 1.2 is still 0 meter?

/puts on bite protection suites and runs away/
Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. I would like to stay optimistic
you have to kill 16 boss harvesters to get both blueprints, each will give you 20h+ repair time, so no, impossible without coins
players are so creative
Let me give you the basics on how kix works
They post something and it looks terrible.
event starts and its even worse than we thought
we complain.
we get the finger.
they make it even shittier the next time around.
the cycle repeats itself.
Those of us that's been around long enough know that this is going to be a shitfest
Which sector is that!? LMAO
It's not finished yet lol
check it again

Oh my bad
lol, I have an alt in 1k, will check it out lol... nah I ain't dumb 
EDIT: For those that asked: its sector 1200.

Holy **** bro... my advice make a separate post and put the pic in it. It is too much to be lost in 8 pages of hate...

what strategy can be if you encounter hive with 30k firing range with weapons that doesn't miss and do insane damage
