This post is for some of my new ally members.  Can the Gale IV and MDS III please be added back to FM?  If not Gale IV at least Gale III. These weapons are vital to Gambit builds and seem to be harder to come by.

    They used to be much easier to get. Now, not so much. Recycling old Ships that have them helps, too. They are very useful and even if just one of each for an affordable price in the final Tier of the FM prizes would be nice. Having to get over half a million points just to get the two day & one day Ship Build Tokens is a little extreme.






    EDIT TO ADD:

    At least one a week of Comorant Anti-Torpedo I would be useful, too. For Skirmish Fleets. 



    Having one of each {or a set number more} per week in the Fifth Prize Pool for maybe 100,000 Points each would be nice.

    Whilst veteran players like the OP, yourself & myself might have old fleets we have the luxury of scrapping for limited items if we haven't bothered to get them via other means, the OP is asking for junior members of his alliance who probably don't have free fleets from Kix to scrap out.

    Fpr the OP, I personally believe such tech you're asking for should be in either T1 or T2 of the FM, with perhaps a cap of 5 redeems per week. That way folks could get all they require relatively quickly.

    I'm sitting on over 100 MDS3 and Gale 4s.  I'd be happy to part with 70 each to help out another alliance's players.  Kix could create a limited weapon exchange similar to an outdated ship build token/VXP market or store type setup.   Sadly it'll never happen as our requests go straight to the trash bin.  If they can't make money on the idea/project it's a no go.

    They 'could' create a 10 coin one-time entry fee into a 'store' where you can pick up stuff for free from other players, with no limits on what you're getting.

    But that's probably too much work for the monkeys.

    There was a specific reason {that I stated} why something lower cost should be in the fifth Prize Pool.

    And I acknowledged the concerns of the OP and stated the Tech needs to be added to the FM Prizes. When they do the Chests in Prize Pool One for a better Fleet of a Type, the older Fleets that also came from Prize Pool One Chests can be Scrapped. Everyone has access to the Prize Pool One Chests. They are like 100 Points or something each. 


    So, Scrapping older Fleets that came from the first Prize Pool before better Fleets are included in it can be done by every Player.

    My bad, I missed your comment about something in T5 at a low cost so folks can grab that Legendary chest.

    Not all of the freebie fleets in the FM will have limited anti, but it is a valid point you raise.

    Yeah I checked all the fleets in both the FM chests and also from the newbie camps.  The only fleets I seen that had these weapons would be the Swallowtails and Praetorians (Beginner's Treasure Trove).  The Praetorians would yield a few, but I recommended to the players not to scrap Swallowtails at the moment.  I suggested they just put another mortar on the Gambits for now until they can get them out of the few events that have them.  At least the Gambits will hit harder.

    While they're not in the FM, I do believe these items have been in recent events to be claimed. Keep an eye on things like Pillage and Raids for items like these as that's where I've likely seen them.

    Gale 4, MDS3 and anti torp are all really old tech (tier 7). It's about time they were replaced with more up to date tech (tier 11 for example).

    Can't have better Counter measures, that means reduced damage, and less repairs. Can't have that now.
    It is stupid though the countermeasures are very old tech now, but also you tend to find targets are designed to nearly ignore countermeasures anyway. All the creativity has gone out of the game.

    Just so we're aware, these are in Pillage right now.
