  1. I feel vindicated. I knew it was all about that hydro income.

    1. Everyone kept trying to naysay me and shout from the rooftops that the changes were because unlimited gameplay=broken game.

      But if that was the case. Then dropping it from unlimited to less then 3-5 max lvl RS, maybe enough left over for a round of shipments doesn't make sense. That's way too extreme of a difference.

      Andreas should have been upfront. "I'm making these changes to provide a living wage to my employees"

  2. Really interesting changes. I am especially looking forward to the teleport and barrier changes.
    Although I was hoping to see mining issues in YS getting fixed too (eg. Miners ignore 1st sector when already mining a sector other than their assigned sectors, Miners ignore scanned asteroids if they appear after they've started mining, and Remote Mining targetting the neighbor cell's asteroids instead of the current one, if mining an asteroid too close to the border)

    1. And if remote disables while mining - ends on current roid, miner don't following to next one

  3. And so opens the flood gates of vengeance and destiny problems vs the now weak blast shield.. At least buff blast shield.

    1. Second! The amount of area damage that has been introduced has made the game ridiculous. Fix blast shield and nerf the OP leap, while you're at it.

  4. Garbage pay to energy games. Garbage pay to energy games never change...

  5. In white stars, when selecting a ship in TM there is a bubble in the ship info box that lists the time until the current move/action completes. I would request that you make this a clickable button that advances TM to the completion of this action. This will greatly assist with placing moves in TM. Thank you.

  6. Tucked away at the bottom there is "New in app purchase Hydrogen transmission" ........ Basically it's turning into pay to play. All the devs reasoning for hydro reductions just got revealed as nonsense.

    1. They have to milk more money from people, the F'd so many in the update that didn't get fixed they don't have the player base they need.

  7. Will the alpha shield protect you from damage after teleportation? What is the magnitude and nature of the damage?

    1. This change to teleportation without lethal damage taken will result in us reverting to the original Shades. There will be doom and revenge plus alpha shield

  8. New in app purchase: Hydrogen Transmission

    The idea is good, but the issue of payment is still not resolved where it is problematic. It turns out that players from Asia will usually get an advantage, with their ability to freely buy and donate.
    Many games have made mini-sites with the ability to buy game packages in any way

  10. Welp, alpha shield + tele + destiny + vengeance gonna be op now

  11. Suggestion: Alpha Shield shouldn't prevent BS taking damage from jumping into a barrier zone. Otherwise it makes damage from teleporting into a barrier zone kind of pointless if they activate just before landing.

  12. Here's an idea, make the game actually fun so people play it? and maybe you don't need to milk existing players with more micro transactions? Steam player numbers are at 130, HALF compared from before the update, there's no dancing around it anymore its dying

  13. There are a lot of graphic problems in steam I mean I can't even read a module level on a ship sometimes.

  14. So, thank you, now I can't play this game on MacOS ( Steam installed the update and the game now won't launch. "Hades' Star quit unexpectedly." I reinstalled the game, restarted Steam, rebooted my MacBook, all in vain (
    Please fix the macOS version. MacBook Pro 16 2019, macOS 14.3

  15. Now you cant watch historic white star events. How are we supposed to learn and adept to new tactics?
    Why is it, that relic drones are not effected by barrier fields?
    This barrier teleporting damage is bullshit, since it will overrate the alpha shield. Choosing the right shield and time to activate it is part of nowadays tactics, that will be eliminated, since all bs, that are not equipped with alpha shield are extremely vulnerable now.

    1. Crazy ? If the bar still contains relict drones, it will be anarchy on the white star. In general, this is logical, the drone is small and holding by fields does not work on them.

  16. Remote mining does not work on scanned asteroids. I am pretty sure it did before. However....it should work. Why would a scanned roid treated otherwise.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Andreas. The holey bars idea is interesting. However, the balance is now very upset due to alpha shields. Please note that jumps work across the entire field of the white star, and the alpha shield allows you to calmly sit on the enemy gate without fear of any bars. 3 battleships on a gate jump with three bars will sit for 18 hours.
