"30 days of Buccaneer Build Tokens" in the path briefing I just see 10 am i missing something ?

Colonel_Klink · 15 May 2018, 5:24PM

A true garbage update... Less seat time = better summer for me.

keith.bouffard.3 · 15 May 2018, 5:26PM

No increase payout for salvages and elite targets during VXP W/E. Also no fix for being able to utilize Mega build tokens for upgrades or builds.

madeye2 · 15 May 2018, 5:26PM

So basically kixeye has moved on without addressing the failure of this last raid and we're all supposed to forget it happened. Well I'll be saving more coins this weekend as I did this past one

Shadows-13 · 15 May 2018, 5:28PM

So howies nerfed again. Day after raid again.

Beersnob · 15 May 2018, 5:28PM

Here's a bit of good news, they're making it easier each week to quietly walk away from this game.

zantil · 15 May 2018, 5:28PM

VXP for what? The manticore flagship? Didnt get it. Not many did. Take the hint KIX

emil.georgi.7 · 15 May 2018, 5:28PM

You`re an utter moron Ramp.. eat my shorts.. taking away double vxp for salvs, is just another kick in our nutts..

Species_8742 · 15 May 2018, 5:28PM

Links in Update notes don't work - i.e. no links

kixeyeuser_5037668 · 15 May 2018, 5:29PM

Yep one maybe 2 crashes for vxp. Didnt get any new ships for ranking and have both buccy and hydras. Garbage added to FM. Shame looks to be a rainy weekend but plenty other things to do then bp.

Amanda_F24 · 15 May 2018, 5:29PM

that shows us that they realy dont give a chit about us . well done you MOFOS

They are hoping we will just forget if they dont bring it up

TRUCULENT2 · 15 May 2018, 5:30PM

Just curious, will the Legion siege targets be as "easy" as the final raid in the Siege cycle?

I know you said it should have been harder and you indicated we were lucky you held off making adjustments to the targets, I just want to know if you have kept the same targets from the raid or went ahead and made them like they were intended to be.

Colonel_Klink · 15 May 2018, 5:32PM

LOLOLOL MC PLATE 2 LMFAO!

That has been corrected. Looks like we had old copy for the event.

You need to learn to math I think. With all the ballistic bonus turrets in and a few maxed, you're not gonna make it past the first turn in any decent base.

peter.hallett.75 · 15 May 2018, 5:34PM

Not impressed at all. No new FM items to help with assault cycle, no response to feed back from players.

warren.fee.3 · 15 May 2018, 5:34PM

all 6 ballistic turrets useless now

2 mc2 plates and 3 mc1 plates = 4 million ballistic deflection

i thought we could only have 3 of 1 armor type, but it allows 3 x mc1 and 2 x mc2

it should still be 3 plates max, 2 x mc2 and 1 x mc1

Is their any chance that the hydra cics and special will be available to anyone with out an upto date skirmish hull?
I picked up hydra and weap first raid back from a year break since then its been locked behind skirmish.

stephenl90 · 15 May 2018, 5:36PM

SB-1 Splash Buffer. I take it that mortars despatched from Bus/sloths will not be affected by this special as they will be fired from outside the 150 range.

Are you overlooking that Pen deflection number?

Dazandren · 15 May 2018, 5:37PM

all i can say is thank God the scourge laggy pop up targets will be going away.

graham.coel · 15 May 2018, 5:39PM

How about sorting out apollo vxp tokens not working

TRUCULENT2 · 15 May 2018, 5:39PM

Which tier are the FM prizes being dropped into? (it doesn't say)

Okay walk me through the math, just how much damage gets through with these new armors?

iwona.esser.1 · 15 May 2018, 5:41PM

Howis and EX 2 max boosted will still kill all conq hulls. Not what we were looking for kix.....
