ReplyDeleteI suggest renaming Mining Drone to Meme Drone, cuz that's what it is at this point.

DeleteFck mod researching price increase for L11 and L12s. Totally unfair. For those who hasnt reached 8m cap will now take about a year to get those high lvl mods. Rich asteroids will cover and increase our daily income? Pff is it gonna give us like a million a day? Lol

DeleteAre the planet prices changing in reflection to the level limit increase? Or is that remaining unchanged?
Deleteplanets are also going up in levels, increasing your income significantly, so it balances out

DeleteThe point is valid.

DeleteWhy degrade Barrage and it's so hard to play against ghosts. Developers you make a big group!
ReplyDeleteHave 1 bs with mass battery
DeleteWhich planets get the increase to max lvl 50. Is it the current lvl 40 planets or the lvl 30 planets as well
ReplyDeleteGreat. Make the high Level Player stronger and hold the other Player smal. Yes thats is it to motivate NEW Players. Great cinema..
ReplyDelete..
Motivation comes from within, young grasshoppa.
Deletelooking forward to it. I for one am pleased with most of the changes and I dont expect Barrage to be affected anywhere except rs10 and possibly rs11.
ReplyDeleteI hope it's only level 40 planets that go to 50... Will be really bad to store arts on starter planets now
ReplyDeleteIt says most planets. That means more than half not all. 7 planets are level 40, less than half therefore not most. 4 planets are level 30. My guess is all level 30 and all level 40, equals 11, therefore most.
DeleteIt is unfair that current 8M cap players have been able to panic buy all the 11 & 12 tech. All the non rs10 corps are going to be facing bond, destiny, veng 12 for years before being able to equalise. I predict people will leave the game in droves.
ReplyDeleteThe game is in end game. Papa is busy developing the next game. Therefore, he just extended the game's life longer in the easiest way while most players have to suffer from it.
DeleteVery likely you will never encounter those people. Play at your level and enjoy yourself.
DeleteSadly that is a very valid point. I'm personally RS 9, and in a corp where most people are RS8-9. We sometimes face corps who run barrier 10, Bond 8+, and such expensive mods. It will be very tough now if we get those guys again
DeleteI don't see any inconvenience
ReplyDeleteThis is the way of life
ReplyDeleteThis is the way
ReplyDeleteI admire your work, this project is special, I played it for a while, I never had any problems, well, like every game, several players always want to change their names, the game provides the name change only once, an event should be added , or a new way to change the name in exchange for crystals, both in the players we win and you will win something, $$, everything I expect from the game and that one day he will add a new way to change the name, sometimes mistakes happen and the name can go wrong! add a new way to change the name in exchange for crystals! and fair right?
ReplyDeleteAgree with you
DeleteLove the game. I dont agree w those complaining although admittedly I dont have as much time invested. I have a life long passion for strategy games and this beats them all, except perhaps my beloved chess. But this is 3d chess w graphics and friends. Great game, thanks for creating it!
ReplyDeleteOK, the update's out and i'm confused:
ReplyDelete"Maximum upgrade level for most planets increased to 50"
It turns out the planets capped at lvls 15, 20 and 30 are still the same so i still only have 7 upgradeable planets (out of 16). How is that "most planets"?
I thought RS10 would be a lot closer, but no. What a letdown.

ReplyDeleteplanets might go up in level however spending 4mill for 1 level upgrade seems counter productive?
ReplyDeleteThat rich asteroid, will it continue to spawn in every RS I'll scan until I start to mine it?
ReplyDeleteLike if I'll go rs4 and dont touch it, and then scan for RS7 will it spawn in rs7 for me to collect that higher amount?
Yep! Just mined my 1st (2nd RS post-update)
DeleteHow much tons will the rs11 arts weight?
ReplyDeleteIts a joke to suggest we wont encounter high lvl players. We regularly face teams 500 + lvls higher in ws with tech we cant hope now to attain for years. Just more imbalance..
ReplyDeleteTime to give up than. Reaching lvl10+ research... You must be laughing us with this update.
ReplyDeleteWell, that was the last nail in the coffin for me. Anyone want a farm? I'm not going to stick around for sure now...I'm already tired of trying to get to insane credit caps and then you raise it and all prices of stuff...great. You want to run players off...this is a fine way to do it.
ReplyDeleteQuit your crying
DeleteI take that back i'm a complete dick.
DeleteLolol nah I don't cry little baby that you don't get what you want
DeleteThe difference between me and you is you're a coward little bitch anonymous prick. Fuck off.
Deletestop your crying
DeleteWhen you say "most planets" can be upgraded to lvl 50... Did you really mean only the lvl 40 ones lol? That is not really most imho and kinda screws over people who haven't reached those caps yet... I expected this update to help us tech high lvl caps faster but apparently you are not interested in anyone but the high lvl peeps.
ReplyDeleteincreasing upgrade levels for all planets would have made this more equitable
ReplyDeleteHe obviously doesn't play his own game or he would know all this in the comments
ReplyDeleteMost=less than half
ReplyDeleteHow Andreas define lol
Stupid
I cannot see yellow star upgrade cap changed, can we clarify which one was expended?
ReplyDeleteThe level 40 planets can now be upgraded to level 50
DeleteJesus! It's 11mil for a level 50 planet upgrade!
ReplyDeleteHow should this statement be understood, exactly: "Rich Asteroid fields: Once per day, every player will have their own asteroid field to mine for additional Credit income. Rich asteroid fields will not spawn after collection until the next day."
ReplyDeleteI'm asking about the exact timing of WHEN "next day" is?
Is there an individual clock on each account, not letting the next rich asteroid spawn on a RS, untill 24 hours have passed since the last harvest?
Or is each account timekeeping tied to an appropriate time zone (gathered from settings in operating system or otherwise), making it "next day" when you pass midnight in your local time zone?
Or, a third methodology ....?
Please explain and elaborate, thank you.
It's probably the same as blue star timings i.e. every 24 hours.
DeleteI first won a round at around 8.30pm. Now the credit reward becomes available every day at that time.
If i took a few days off, then get a win, the clock resets to the tine of that win going forwards.
Is there a way to know when the Rich Asteroid field is up ?
ReplyDeleteNot seeing the gold asteroid !!!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you remember the tech research tree in X-COM TFTD?
ReplyDeleteMaybe these changes would make more sense in a chart like that.
Yes we need a timer for the rich asteroid to let us know when it will be back
ReplyDeleteYeah the only way now is to guess......and it seems to be later and later each day.
DeletePourquoi toujours des gens pas content ?
ReplyDeleteCe jeu est gratuit, sans pub, et tellement évoluer pourtant, j'ai payé le pack débutant pour remercier les développeurs,si vous trouvez ailleurs un jeu gratuit sans paytowin changez de jeu sinon arrêtez de vous plaindre. Bonne journée...
what do you need to mine a rich asteroid
ReplyDeleteminer
Delete+ 1 for a timer somewhere in the red star scanner info window showing the countdown until the rich asteroid field spawns again. Similar to the countdown in the blue star scanner for credits.
ReplyDeleteI'm not getting the rich asteroid in any rs2 I have done. It showed up once the first day and I have not seen it since
ReplyDeleteEach day reddish gold asteroid appears later and later. Very frustrating
ReplyDelete+1 for credit asteroid timer or just a set time for all, still loving this game.
ReplyDeleteThe RAF doesnt appear later and later. it is exactly like BLS. it is set to the 1st time you complete or after the 2nd day of no runs when you run it, the RAF will set spawn timer when you completed it. The bonus is you get to run a second one immediately. I enjoy seeing people whine and complain about something they clearly didnt test and know nothing about.
ReplyDeleteNobody has the time to test and test and waste credits. Didnt see any bonus 3nd run...
DeleteOnly change I would like is superficial, different options for ship shapes, triangular battle ships? Flying saucers they are not detained ship design, some small change could be interesting
ReplyDeleteI think a good change would be a confirmation when you are about to spend your gems.
