Oh this is a thing - good thing I got a lot of questions about this event.

 

1. Is the Moon Race really going to take 3 months?

2. Is the Custodian really going to take 3 months to get?

3. Why is the pirate weapons bundle locked behind the pass?

4. Why with the diminishing returns on xenochip rewards from tasks.

Why can't we unlock the moon pass with galactics standard?

[blaizer28 2]

Can we expect new game trailer in near future ?

[TheDarkRedFox 1,587]

Will players who have not bought the moon pass be able to get the Custodian if they complete every 1st and 5th available mission day? Or is the Custodian locked behind the moon pass?

Also why are the pirate weapons locked behind the moon pass?

[xXThunderFlameXx 578]

I heard that the pirate weapons pack will be available for free after the event, is that true?

[Xzerberus 37]

One more thing I'm not sure I understand:

Now we can get ~150 xenos per day.
If I miss 1 day for example, in the next day I'll get 300 xenos instead of 150?
Is that right?
Because in the russian forum, dev said that we can complete all the stages (from current active phase) in a week. But how can we complete 30 stages with 150 xenochips per day for a week? 7 * 150 = 1050 xenos (need 3000 xenos for all stages). In this case the xenochips have to accumulate for 3 weeks that I'll miss, and on the 4th week I can get all needed xenos from completing the tasks within 7 days, i.e. ~429 xenos per a day? 7*429=3003

...or I'm not even close? xD

[niripas 280]

From the Steam page regarding :

"This bundle includes
Owners of this bundle will get access to additional rewards in the first phase of the “Moon Race” — “Into the unknown”. 

Does it mean the current Moon Pass is only for the first phase (30 days) and there will be more passess for the other two? 

 

If a person will complete some stages and then acquire the Moon Pass can he still collect past rewards?

[Zottelmonster 0]

Can I choose any of the existing premium ships as my reward for  the 25th reward or is there a certain pool of ships to choose from?

@ORCA1911 You didn't answer this question.

[Johnnynator1 147]

@ORCA1911 (Posted 22 hours ago)

You can choose a ship among those that are not collectible premiums (ships that require premium ship parts to be built).

 

So this also includes DLC Premium ships?

@ORCA1911

Why can't i have the Loki with the 25th stage ?

 

In the previous answer to the question of this topic, it was say : 

 

You can choose a ship among those that are not collectible premiums (ships that require premium ship parts to be built).

 

But i can't have it

Quite simple ORCA's statement was wrong. I did ask him about it to give him a chance to clarify and correct his statement, but it seems like he is back to ignore the Question to the Devs section. The DLC ships never were part of this event.

[TheDerpNukem 221]

Will there be a xenochip reset between moon race stages?

[HubGab 13]

Will be there any (ever?) events for ships like Endeavor, Spiral, Boremys, Executor? I do not need ansfer "Not planned" I need to know if ever it will be planned?

[TheDerpNukem 221]

Why are 'Improved Missile Pylons' able to be equipped on Destroyers when they do not affect the missile slot of Destroyers?

[CutieSP 15]

Is there any soon change to open space?

[Jonagoldz 9]

Knowing that currently all focus is on the event, will there soon be any change to open space?

[TheDerpNukem 221]

Would it be possible to xenochip gain to be changed again? Currently it requires a large amount of time investment/planning to clear one stage a day in phase 3. For reference, this is how my day's progress usually runs by with the current form of xenochip gain:

 

[Exarus 45]

When will ship paint/presets go back down to 50 GS? It’s been 500 while now, and that’s a bit absurd to charge for something that only changes appearance. And please don’t say there are “no plans atm” cause come on… a lot of players want to be able to customize their ship cheaper, and not everyone has 500 GS at their disposal… surely someone has to be thinking about a price change?

[TheDerpNukem 221]

M'kay then how about this one:
 

Is anything ever going to be done about AoE spam on beacons?

 

Beacon denial is far too easy currently with some modules denying beacons for massive amounts of time and certain weapons being far too effective at denying beacons.

 

For example;

Gravitational lens shuts down beacons for 15 seconds at a time and due to its popularity it is common for more than 1 person to be using this module in one match.

 

Hazardous veil deals 20 thermal damage a second in a 1500m radius for 15 seconds, basically denying the beacon for as long as a gravi would but without the pull.

 

Crystal destabilization blocks beacons for 6 seconds

 

Crystalline suppressor blocks beacons for 6 seconds

 

Pulsar can block beacons for 12 seconds.

 

Look you get the point. Beacons are easy to deny and its absurd because there are four game modes oriented exclusively around beacons.

 

[TheDarkRedFox 1,587]

Easy fix: make only primary weapon damage count towards blockage.

[TheDerpNukem 221]

Will there ever be rank 15-17 pirate modules?

 

Just uh... curious. Would kinda spice things up a bit. Maybe.

[JinKo821 4]

is there a way to request a deal like the 50% GS bonus we just had? i want to spend the money while i have it since i wont be able to in the near future.

[TheDerpNukem 221]

Psst - Orca. Does the new Destroyer have a charged precision weapon?

 

Ahem that aside - are the development team aware of why the Ze'ta is so popular/considered the only viable choice in the current version of the game?

 

The AoE bonus field and module destruction mechanics have been ignored in such a way that the older Destroyers (rank 8 + 11 and poor vigilant) have been long considered outdated. Are there plans to change this or is there the possibility for plans to be made to fix such a problem?

 

Are there plans to touch up Wolfhound (or archangel specifically)?

 

is the development team aware of how broken energy converter is?

 

Are there plans to change/rework/nerf e-con?
