  4. Nerfa os módulos porque os top players não estão mais jogando... pronto falei

  5. RS9 / Top 20 White Star player here. Actually a pretty nice update with conscientious changes to make the game better. A lot of what is mentioned in module changes its hard to see the "magnitude" of the change from this list, but the idea behind it seems clear. My only concern is something like suspend will slow the game down by too much, but we will see. Definitely with this many changes the meta-game will change for sure.

  6. Still hoping for More, Different & Unique (Yellow & Red Star) Objects in Shipments. These can items from "The Elements Table" itself, upto and including New Widgets found either adrift in space or that appears in Planet Load Outs.

    All our 3 Ships really need the availability of More Tech Slots too, especially Support.

  7. Are the bugs in ship cycling, waypoint cancel, and miner sector selection issues getting fixed in this update?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Will the items that failed to work in the last update now work as planned?

  9. I've been playing since just over a month after this game launched. The updates, new modules and revisions have all been carefully thought out and deployed resulting in a game that just keeps getting better.
    As an IT professional I am delighted by this game as a near perfect example of how to do it right. Congratulations to all involved. You've been magnificent. Keep up the great work!

  12. Hey, Please add option to change your name profile (nick name) again for cristals if you all ready use you The last chance to change... plzzz!

    ReplyDelete
  13. A good update. Especially happy for artifact queuing. Should make the red star juggling act between transports-battleships-miners a little easier to handle.

  15. Not a bad update, but I am truly hoping for a team death match or conquest mode. Only way you can get PVP really going and get much more popular.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Would love to have seen:

    Some change to the mining drone that is truly useless at the moment and the
    ability to link up all warp lanes with the same configuration as they were previously with a single button (tedious when you have several of them)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Repair module dont work correctly

    ReplyDelete
  18. Love this game so far. Been playing a few months and it keeps my attention. That says something. Keep up the good work.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Update to let us toggle the system info on/off. The static details cause screen burn-in on some OLED screens.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Alpha Drone in Blue Stars needs changing so can't be used in the middle zone

    ReplyDelete
  21. well, not quite. the old numbers were affected by the warptime, the 2 minutes is not. Even at level 10 before the REAL time the warp was active was only 2 minutes and 23 seconds. at your level 8 the REAL time active was 2 minutes and 17 seconds. Small nerf, but not nearly as big a deal as you are saying.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Is it possible to make a playlist where I can choose for the original Hades Star interstellar music?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Please allow early deactivation of Shipment Relay.

    ReplyDelete
  24. It seems this update has disabled google functionality in parallel space app on android, will there be a fix for this can only access one account now on my phone, otherwise great game

    ReplyDelete
  25. The Hades Star app icon on Android is now a default Android icon. I'm sure that was not your intention, please change it back in the next release.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Can you please also show enemy attack range with waypoints when flying close by. It shows with original move commands but not with waypoints which makes no sense in my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Pixel 3 XL notch completely blocks the full number of credits text. Please allow an option to not go fullscreen.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Blue star matchmaking algorithm is completely flawed

    ReplyDelete

    1. Agreed, bls match ups are fubar, I'm at rs6 with bs4 and I routinely get matched with rs8 players with bs5, even the Lones are almost always bs5 and often have vengeance which is a rs7 mod!

      Delete
  29. It would be nice if there were logs during WS, because you don't always see what really happened.

    1. You can always rewind Time Machine to before the current time.

      Delete
  30. Please for the love of god fix the cycling through ships bug that ignores ships you havent yet assigned a destination! SO frustrating!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Agreed, I have to cycle through 3 or 4 times sometimes just to get the correct ship selected.

      Delete
  31. Please add toggle so I can see total gain and spend dayly numbers with and without blue star related numbers.

    Also ass more stats if possible.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Suggestion of new module : desactivator : desactivate all modules for a period.of time for 1 opponent like surpress or zoned like wrap.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think the leap drone strategy needs nerfing. In previous versions Destiny has been a great counter of this strategy by dealing massive damage instantly. But now that Destiny became unusable, leap drone users have become nearly impossible to defeat when they combine this strategy with Time Warp, Remote Repair and Bond.

    (The buffed Vengenace doesn't seem to work well at countering them :/)
