5) Reduce the chore time. Changing the Drac bases was a bad move. Uranium's essental for retrofits etc, and this just makes catching up harder for many players. After all, many targets now are geared towards Legendary Fleets or fully retro'd builds.
Not just retros. Uranium is needed in large quantities for just the basics like upgrading buildings in base, R&D, and the Foundry (the unused place that was sold as where little players could "catch up").
The way you have setup the store is just another example of why you don't get it. Having to buy a ship you don't want. You guys really are totally out of focus with your vision of what you think Players want.
Players First Huh? What a laugh. We did not want to build 2 raid fleets. Etc. We have said that a million times. Yet here we are new SSB bases that you want us to NOT use the fleets we ALREADY built not 1 but 2 different fleets of you now want us to build another Proto Fleet for ea respective type. No you are absolutely not putting players first we do not want to build fleets we want to use the fleets for a YEAR to do TLC's and chores. WHERE ARE THE BUCK AND HYDRA TLC"S?
Get lost with your fake crack head talk of "Oh we do what players want Players first" you can go pound sand you have done 0 that any player wants zilch nada nothing. Feel free to actually prove this wrong. First step would be TLC for hydra and Bucks to do with last raid targets. 2nd Step is scrap the proto fleet garbage tune new bases to be solo with the Bucks the fangs the hunters the skyfires the phoenix and Manti you Know the fleets we made that are guaranteed to be good for a year to do all respective chores and TLC's
Fix and comment post on that maybe Me and others will actually log back into the game we may even gladly spend some more money you see spending is not the problem the problem is we are not going to spend for a crap sandwich and swimming in a septic tank is not fun. Which right now your game is a septic tank and you are serving/selling crap sandwiches.
For once try to ACTUALLY listen to the PLAYERS and do what they want I bet you make 50X the revenue. Imagine that SELL what the customer WANTS.
I have tried to purchase the 4 "offers" and it doesn't work. I actually called Kixeye and left a message, posted on their Facebook, and in the forum and no response.... come players 1st? Amazing how Kixeye doesn't need the $$$ anymore.... quite a game folks !
players first? the players have told you for years that to many boats are coming out. no time to build them. the players have told you for years the build and repair times are to long to be realistic and fun. this is not a free to play game. thats a flat out lie from kixeye. this is a free to log on game. players have told you for years you make the targets ridiculously hard except for just a few. this crap is not fun. i realize kix needs to make money. but there is a large difference between making money and price gouging. the players didnt want new FM targets but we got them anyway. so no players first there. i could go on till my fingers are hurting from typing and kixeye still just dosnt fracking get it. kixeye knows **** well what is hurting this game and they ignore it. drop all this crap and make the game fun and playable again and the freakin money will come. hell i would be glad to spend more if it was worth it to me. but right now kixeye and this is the part you really need to listen to, its not freaking work it to me to spend. the fun is gone and the game is going to crap. i would love to see it fixed but i have lost all faith that kix will do what needs to be done to make it fun again. they have proven for years that they couldnt care less what the players need and **** sure will never put the players first. prove me wrong. but i know it will never fraking happen.
you saying fm is to help lower players, i seen for example tridents are not in the fm prizes and to get the sprints you will need them , so nothing is though for players to grown on a decent scale , theres no plan in this game , when the management running the game , dont play and doesnt know a thing of the game ,so , its like an owner of a car wash teaching employees how to use a preasure washer and dont even know how to start it lol , nonsense as always , damage of raid is on the roof , was a good scam bringing first , second and third refits , so we dont need 2 fleets to make raids , we need 1 fleet and then refit them 2 times after building them lol nonsense and i can continue with everything ,game is closing just admit it release a closing date if you already have one , dont think $$ the revenue will increase in this game , a lot of returning players ,already run away and for sure wont return to game again , just dont be afraind and click play and enter the game to check whats going on , raid targets are easy to find , theres very few players playing raid
Umm I beleive the money first for the Kixeye's book
dont think running out of players will bring in money , for any game to recieve money has to be fan and easy for players, and thats not happening in bp right now , so no players, no fun , no money lol
The only time they even nodded towards putting the players needs first, was when they where called The Casual Collective. Thats when the likes of Dave Scott and Swag where around.
Then they changed to Kixeye, and thats when the rot really started to set in, the game went from a pure PvP game into PvP with a small element of PvE, to what we have now.
The game wouldn't have survived as it was, it needed to diversifier its appeal to draw in new players and maintain interest of the established players. Kix then dropped in to the fact that we tend to want everything now, and so the game started to accelerate its content release, so kix could capitalize on our desire to be the best.
Now its gotten to the state that we see today, Kix wouldn't recognise a truthful statement if it smacked them in the face, and even if they do announce something, it then gets hi-jacked and buggerised into something completely different. They flounder from one disaster to the next, and in-spite of that we still keep playing, to varying degree's, not because of what kix does, but because under all of the crap, this game can be still very entertaining, not because of kix in-spite of them. Imagine how good his game could be with someone competent in charge.
The two main architects of the games direction over the course of the recent past, have both now left.
Does this mean the game will change in both style and content, to the better Transfer to Html has been muted as being in development, is this still going to happen When will the new GD be announced, and will they be given the freedom to slow the pace and allow the game to develop slower
We the players need to have faith in you, we need to have our fleets last longer than a few months (yes I no there are some exceptions) We need to be able to jump through the various hoops that you throw at us, and be able to not have to spend hours on mundane chores We will spend our hard earned cash only if the game is enjoyable and we feel that we are not being forced into a corner to do so Please revisit your policy of monitizing every aspect of the game, some times we need to have a win The new players and non coining players are equally as important as all coiners, todays new player/non coiner is potentially tommorows whale
Finally please stop lurching from one exciting new content to the next (in your eyes) and develop the stuff that already in game R+D lvl 31 anybody.
What me cynical, no, never, maybe!!, well I have been playing kix games for over 3 years.
Remember its just a game, your life doesn't rely on you being the best.
Sectors visited :- Who cares, been to some killed some stuff moved on.
Hulls :- Yep got some and some have guns and stuff
The most recent addition to the Battle Pirates family is Battle Pirates HQ, the new mobile companion app. Which is available on from the Google Play and iOS App Store.
Currently the BP HQ allows you to launch fleets and auto targets. This is especially useful for hitting target while on the go. You can earn Uranium, Titanium, Base Parts, even Event and FM points. You can also access your repair queue at anytime.
In the next update will be adding a new option where you will be able to manage your fleet from the app. We have a number of additional features currently planned:
World Map Repair and the ability rehit targets
Speedup ship build and ship refits
Opt-in notifications for completion of ship build and ship refits
Base actions (speedup repair, upgrade, etc.)
Opt-in notifications completion of build repair, upgrade, etc.
Opt-in notifications of your base being attacked
Blitz support
Conclusion
Battle Pirates deeply appreciates having a enthusiastic player community. Please continue to provide feedback and we will devote our efforts to put “Player First”.

I play via kixeye site, when will we be abble to use the app? For now only FB players can use it.
be careful..after i used app to try and cancel repairs to a fleet it locked my fleet in a paused repair state ...8 days now i cant repair any fleets....which means now i cant play...i've seen many others with nearly identical problem...
5 days for me. the exact issue. Use the app at your own risk.i used it once and was cool. second time no good. cant refit healed ships. cant repair anything. User ID is: 9329429
You are really scrapping the barrel again aren't you Kix....
A competition in the raid - top global players get a caedes......
I wonder why you are bringing it out??? To me it is screaming last raid was not high on the $$$ intake, so need to try and get some $$$ back by playing to a players greed and want for a hull, and super hull......
I just hope players realise that that hull although great is restricted and can only do T7 targets, so the players that would be going for it, normally coin anyway so I doubt there will be a huge increase in revenue from this raid compared to the previous....
The best way for you Kix to get more $$$$ in this raid, ensure that the damage isnt insane like the last raid....
But again, the players know that you don't listen, so as to your comments please do not expect anyone to be holding their breathe that you are actually going to follow through on ANYTHING that you say you will do....
You've done well Kix,
I retract my statement, you know the right amount of heroine, oh hmm incentive to get the whales coining even more - great marketing ploy, you've done well...
Question to those billion point players, do you already have the caedes? How did you spend on the raid (coin wise) and if you already had the blueprint for it,wuldit have not been cheaper for you to use those coins on building another??
I guess the old idiom is right, "A fool and his money shall soon be parted"....

Yes Sir, your right on ! Thats whats needed. Keep spending as low as possible or not at all untill theyr numbers show players voice needs to be heard.

Short answer, No.
I'm not a billion point player this month, but it's definitely possible for cheaper than pushing a Caedes through the Shipyard. Points are pretty fast from the 100s set. 2 targets net you 10 mil points, so that's 100 sets for 1 bil points. Seen enough people managing a set for 1 coin each target, IFF their build is perfect and they can drive. Ignoring GMs since it's so many targets over such a long time, that's 200 coins for 1 billion points, with the added bonus of the shards for the specials. Pushing just the bare hull through the SY is 20+ days or about 1000 coins. Add about 10 days or another 500 coins on top of that for weapons and specials.
If you're doing the targets very well, it's much cheaper paying for the repairs than it would be to just coin up the ship. Of course the former is a gamble. The #6 player (or someone in the 400s with an extra hour) could always spend out their *** off blitzing the #5 player out of that spot in the last few minutes.
this thread makes me LOL . This summers SOTG is the same load of BS you guys have been promising players for years. 28K and a raid is on.
Hurry up lads it was 78K this time last year............
And that is numbers for the kixeye site, which has multiple forums and games on it, not the players playing battle pirates.
Really geez thanks for pointing that out Which goes to show equally happy players in all 3 remaining games. Raid leaderboard would be interesting to view by events end. I'd hazard a guess it's down around the 15-18K mark now. And that's being extremely generous. And it still makes me chuckle.......
They're calling in Greenpeace...to save the vanishing whales. Greenpeace showed up, looked around, shook their heads sadly, and said it's hopeless....
Current Turrets are not overpowered. They are quite useless and only for show. Mine are maxed with the t7 junk on em even..then still are Garden Gnomes just waiting to get picked off. Give a Player the Pride in Defense and a Player can grow some Sea Legs and Discover the content no one can because Bases Cant ever Defend themselves..hmm
players will never be first unless they are whales. your game has not been built to players first. the last raid proved that aspect. who ever was willing to spend more money was on top with a grand prize. coop was not issued and you do this constantly. you pretend to care for the player when all you care of is the might dollar. we understand you have to pay the bills but you are making money. being greedy is a different aspect. jerky greedy is different because you want every dime rather then gain the happy smiles of players who will make sure you stay around for years to come but you care of money before players.
players first lmfao now that right there is Total B.S. ! Lies , Lies , and the lies keep rolling out !! why i even bother to come on forums to voice my thoughts anymore is beyond me as they never listen anyways and havent heard us the players in at least 4 years ... and ive been playing sense sept. 2011 .. at least the first 3 years they did kinda .. but when they stopped all players that dont coin from being able to send tickets showed than that they dont care about the players .. and it has just snowballed into what crap there is today.... so stop the lies and bs cause we dont believe it anymore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ehm... players first? After you have compleatly ignored the outrage induced by last raid?
I don't buy it. I wont believe anything you write,until you adress the last raid.
