not for Bermuda

loading times unchanged, not playable at all

highscore still full of players that were not there before with a lot of points

I was checking the board to see if anyone else was having problems with the page loading times, so I was surprised to see an official post about the loading times being fixed lol

I expected a suggestion that was something along the lines of "1-1.5% bonus mine production, energy, storage, speed on every ship" etc. but I guess not.

Oops

I think warrior is ok. If they swapped the fleet speed to ally’s for a deut reduction it would be awesome.

researchers not getting a bonus on research is kinda funny. If it’s the PvE class, it should have send all expos at once option or something.

Moon storage is hilarious and probably because they couldn’t programme it any differently

I feel like it'd fit the name more if TRADERS had faster/less deut costs on their transports when they make, oh Idk, TRADES with allies, but maybe they gave it to warrior because they needed to give at least some incentive, even if it is laughable, to pick it xD

I ban players for scripting all the time on Volans (and elsewhere).

Have you created a support ticket?

If I find evidence to support a scripting rule violation, I have a hammer I am not afraid to use.

However, it will require you to be patient because a scripting investigation takes time to prove.

As for your anti-bot measures, Madoka is correct.

Gameforge is aware of the issue and are working on some anti-scripting measures.

However, again, this takes time so your patience is requested.

Good to see there's some people like you modding. I appreciate your response. It's definetly better than what I've had from Madoka, sadly.

Patience it's then, I'll see if I come back to the game, but for now and for my play style it's unplayable sadly :/.

Thanks!

"Definitely better than what I've had from Madoka, sadly." Stay mad over being told that just because an account has activity all day, doesn't send a message when you're attacking them (THIS is a criterion for botting? Call me Deep Blue, then) or it fleetsaves seconds before an attack lands so that the recall doesn't get timed back (Again, call me Deep Blue lmao), it doesn't always mean that they're botting. Btw, you never answered my question about activity of players that you attack, but based on your complaint about 24/7 activity I'm assuming you're attacking players that have activity on their planets 🙄 . But yeah, be satisfied from being told to submit a ticket (Where have I heard that before...discord maybe? 🤔🤔🤔🤔) and to have patience because the VOLUNTEERS in this game seem to treat this game like it's their job more than the people who actually run the game for a living, I guess.

Flaming aside, yeah, this game's in a rough spot and it's hard to find the will to login because the competition on the uni is extremely suspicious but GOs can only see and do so much. Like TheJoker said, I'm losing my faith in GF to commit to the game. It says a lot about the state of the game when someone who's had a history of bans ingame goes on the forum and admits they used bots to monitor other botting activity and only gets warned for it on the forum with nothing happening to his accounts ingame.

Upgrades to make our ships go faster? Oh boy, I've been waiting years for this.

piink Could you clarify why x16 research vote wasn't in the poll this round? Were we only allowed to have 1 setting changed?

I'm hoping/assuming that the research boost is automatic since it should be universally beneficial

Nvm

natural logarithm, it's the inverse function of e^x, if you're using excel the function is just LN I'm pretty sure

Quote from Aurora Borealis

I have another question.

Is there a formula to calculate the level of the storage based on its capacity? My point is to create a formula for a spreadsheet that will set the level in this way (I am giving an example for a metal storage lvl 25): 47547690000 + formula = 25. My point is that I should see in the sheet which level I have to have for a given amount of resources and not have to check it in the game.

If there's a formula for the capacity based on its level, then there's going to be a formula for the level based on the capacity.

Level = 33/20 * ln (storagecapacity/(12500))

I'm hoping/assuming that the research boost is automatic since it should be universally beneficial

Are we only allowed to change eco speed and not research?

gufengqu What do you and Poor think? I think these is all the settings we can change that would benefit everyone

Actually piink what's the max eco we can upgrade to?

If it's possible to increase the eco speed to 8x and the research to 16x I'd like that more.

Ooh nice to teach attacker a lesson, attacker fr with the df!

Aliens are always +3 anyway though and pirates are found 2x as much as aliens so you'd rather build an advantage over pirates than try to reduce the losses on aliens

One thing to consider is do you use your other fleet slots to farm inactives? With the 75% loot against inactives, the amount that you farm can be the difference that makes discoverer better than being a collector. If not, you should calculate how much res per day you're getting from expos (Do it everyday for a week and take an average, for example) then add it to how much you mine per day and compare the sum to how much you'd mine with collector, 150% crawler bonus, geologist bonus, etc. then you can mathematically determine which one's better. But from personal experience, with those mine levels and a few more expo waves it shouldn't be too hard to farm enough from inactives to make discoverer the better choice.

As for the combats, most people have stopped flying for combat since the deut cost becomes too high. The only players that are still doing it are mostly players with a ton of deathstars and level 3 weapon tech and high armour/shields (20+).

Also, why are you using 9000 LC? Do you have a low hyperspace level and you're on a high eco uni? You can use https://expocalc.universeview.be/ to calculate how much LCs you need. Speed factor is your uni's eco speed and just enter numbers for LCs starting from like 3000 until the "max find" stops increasing.

Excuse me, wasnt it level 0 weaponary tech level? What does lvl 3 make it different to 0?

Pirates are -3 techs and rip expo players wanted to keep that advantage

My suggestion for combat fleet is not to do it unless you have the weapon tech level I mentioned
