*** CLOSED BETA UPDATES & DISCUSSION/BUG REPORTS ***

Decided to play it easier and grab a light cruiser. Went for the Mercury II. Good Lord, these plasma beams are strong.

 

Dang it, brain fart just cost me my Leningrad III. For 3 turns I could have escaped, but pressed to end the allocation round instead of leave the sector. That's a lot of progress scrubbed. Least I can fall back on my Liverpool II.

-The emergency 'warpout' interface is still pretty rudimentary, its one of those things that needs improvement so you don't have that sort of confusion. -Vesuvius

 

Sounds like you've never heard of Eve's #1 rule. Don't fly what you can't afford to lose.

 

Are there longer and shorter times until an enemy AI comes into a region to defend it? I waited nearly a minute in S-51, but there were still no enemies there.

At some point, the enemy AI rosters run out, so it was bound to happen on a small map. They do 'refresh' after a while -- Vesuvius

 

The Mercury II with a Liverpool III is what I plan on running. Warp in. Crank up max sensors to locate enemy and then max Overload/LuckyShot Plasma Beams from the fog. Warp out since you likely blew someone up.

 

First post here, been quietly playing it on my Mac. First post here, I do have a suggestion for the shipyard page where you see all the ships listed. It would be nice to have the xp amount/cost of the ship on there listed as well as the att/def/man.

 

So I am having an officer error, just sometimes though. It happened twice today to me, once with an engineer and later I flew back to space dock and got stuck on weapons officer. Also the new fog of war effects are great, fading in and out as you move; two thumbs up, or maybe 4 if genari have extra, lol. I thought I would stick with genari next go around but I like the Leningrad 2 better than the 3rd one, so I think I will stick with sol. Vesuvius, question, will the credit situation be the same in the full game with certain variants costing to unlock and others being free?

-Yes, in the full game, all basic variants will be free, but the type II, III, IV etc... will require unlocks. The prices are still undetermined though. That's how the game is supposed to make money, I hope it at least pays for what I spent on it so far lol. -Vesuvius

Yes, that answered my question, thanks! I plan on buying several since I backed the kickstarter and I hope to see the game become successful. Great game and it's getting better every day!!!

 

lol lost my destroyer to a class 7 MA’ALAKETH Ti'MENAALA. Hit me for 35 damage in one shot through my fully charged shields. Well I think my testing days are over. Totally worth it.

-There's another boost coming soon to push thru Light Cruiser +

 

This will effectively be a reset, correct?

-Yes, that definitely will be a reset. But on this current, smaller map, we will continue boosts until practically everyone is fighting each other with Cruiser-level ships (class VI, VII, and VIII) -Vesuvius

 

I'm holding steady with a Battleborn destroyer. It seems tough and brutish enough for its price. I personally wouldn't mind a reset since the map is full of locked regions from you guys conquering when I'm at my job working

 

With the last exp boost my Captain became a 2 Star but I didnt recieve any new skill points to let me unlock Class V and VI ships. So I used the reset to get back my initial point and it still wouldnt let me place the point there saying I needed to be a 2 Star.

Also I farmed a region last night for about 15 minutes and I dont know if it was from the debris but the Genari ships that kept transiting in spawned in the same point every time. I just had to sit in one place and blow them up in a few hits every time the jumped in. Made things feel more like a grind then an actual battle.

-Yes, that is a 'bug' in my opinion, the spawning is supposed to be random from any side, but they seem to always come from the same place. -Vesuvius

 

Oh, baby, that Kill XP is sweeeeeeet

 

Really can't wait till we get to play the Hive.

 

I managed to work my way up to a Montana II. This thing is a beast!

-Once you make it to the Cruisers, you're pretty much set. Of course, you're getting accelerated XP, normally it would be a few weeks for any player to get to this point in the main game. Also, in the main game the higher class ships have limited production, and get more and more uncommon in the higher tiers. -Vesuvius

 

I don't mind that. Want to try the regions again with my destroyer.
