Nice free bundles help reduce the grind a little… for a while.
Gravi lens and halo buff - blergh bad.
Syn repair for engy can only be good.
Text changes make it look like robot speech but it is less intrusive in game HUD, would prefer the option to remove elements like that in game. But overall nice work.
Okay… time to try and write an opinion without drowning in salt.
Things not in the patch notes
Most Raider enemies have had a durability increase, not sure by what %, but it evidently has happened.
Turtles have had an increase in damage (not going to bother with calculations, they do 5k against a ship with 70 kin resists) and a decrease in fire rate
Rogue enemies now have a small firestorm like volley dealing kinetic damage
The patch notes
Synergy for repairing allies - I honesty feel like this change should have been made ages ago, but still. Better late than never.
Halo launcher buff - This change feels more like a roll-back if anything as before you would see destroyers sitting 10km away from the battle doing nothing but firing halos and photon torpedoes at other destroyers, so I’m not sure how I feel about this change just yet for pvp.
Gravitational lense buff - This kinda feels like it has hit just the right amount of damage now, as before it couldn’t even scratch a Jericho guard, whilst now it actually has a presence on the field damage wise although it still does next to nothing to interceptors.
Bug fixes - Yay!
Free bundles - This is more like rubbing salt in the wound right now. The free bundles are nice, sure. But not having guaranteed drops from what is supposed to be a premium item is still bad. Doing 10 battles for 2 beryllium ore when I got 5 from the 10 battles definitely doesn’t feel worth it.
Brokk drone change - I don’t really care about this one. I rarely see a Brokk and I definitely won’t ever own one.
EDIT: I just noticed the meson cannon now has a matching turret model. Is this new too?
I have a feeling he wanted to carefully suggest the Ru community to get off of the topic, leave them alone and it is spring holiday so they won’t be around to deal with them anyway. :fed_lol:
Beryllium… Still a real pain to gain, 10 won fire support, 4 beryllium ore with 2 rk11 ships fully synergized.
Free bundles, 10 victories with underpowered rk11 (my opinion is for rank 11 and based on my own gaming experience) against tough ships (raiders with missiles volleys, IA dessies, turtles with improved range) to gain from 0 to 3 ores ? From 0 to x beryllium rods ? I would be ok with the gamble if these quests were permanent (like 1/2 days) but it won’t last.
I grinded months to build SP ships and I can’t farm any beryllium with these on pve battles ? I spent tons on ressources to build a dedicated Ronin to take the hits while protecting the team, to be excluded from gathering ? I don’t know why it would be illogical because on rank8/11 I find raw vanadium and silicon.

You can always buy some Bundle packs. x5 Bundles actually give you some guaranteed resources , which is a very good change.
Right now they are discounted by 10%, so maybe you should consider buying one or two, if you don’t need much to build one Secret Project ship or Destroyer.

Oh yes! For example I can buy x5 Mechanic pack, wich give me 10 guaranteed Archelon components. Discount price is 1069 GS. But I need 200 components, so 20x5 packs discount price is 21380 GS. I think this is the Deal of Century! (I don’ try it.) A Jericho Patriarch pack with 2 ships is 16999 GS.
Welcome! I wish someday russian and eng community will be finally merged in one one English forum with subsections for every major lang (like war thunder). Maybe a more “fair moderation” like it happens here will be more effective and less restraining for the community.
Back on topic:
I hate the fact that even the new missions are tied to specific ship rank. I never go in lower tiers, I’ve tried to farm 10 ship parts for r7 in pve and after getting only 2 parts from the container I promised to myself to never do this again. I know those missions are not intended for guys like me that have everything so maybe i should stick to r13… But here’s the deal: I can’t fly most of the r13 ships in pvp.
Why? Well most of the role I fly have far better choices in r15 or sp. Yes ok, the grey falcon for me is the better cov ops (r13, and I always used that) but Engi? Guard? Command (aura or jerry’s sp one, even if r13 jerry is okish)? Gunship (ok the apollo is fine but compared to how op and nice are spark and the mjolnir?)? Long range? Ecm? Taklers?
I can’t fly low rank ship instead of r15 and sp 'cause 90% of the time my high rating will let me be the guy who need to carry the team (no intent of bragging here, it’s just the way it is and how mm works). And if I’m flying a less effective ship instead of “good ones” I’m giving my team a dis-vantage over the opponents.
That’s not fair and the reason why I’m not interested in do this mission in pvp. Sometimes I’m doing the fire support pve to get some ship parts, but by doing 2 or 3 of those plus the use in pvp of only the grey falcon: the rate is never enough to get my daily container.
I know it’s a problem that affect a really low amounts of players, but still it’s what is happening.
I don’t get why ctb was removed, that’s not removing features that you will fix problems. This is the million times I and a lot of others say this.
Good thing you added the sinergy for healings in pvp (it doesn’t works in pve, right?).
Oh yes! For example I can buy x5 Mechanic pack, wich give me 10 guaranteed Archelon components. Discount price is 1069 GS. But I need 200 components, so 20x5 packs discount price is 21380 GS. I think this is the Deal of Century! (I don’ try it.) A Jericho Patriarch pack with 2 ships is 16999 GS.
Write a bug report! You should spent the same amount of GS as you would for a fixed GS price, even if it is 10-20% more expensive due to randomness of ship parts in the Store.

shhht, dont disturb the biggest social experiment in the internet. but yes, you are right, this would make a lot of things easier, as i actually whish the russian community and en community would get closer to each other, understand each other, hands and feet.
but better keep it apart like a pro than unify it in the wrong moment.

to be honest, ctb removal was still better than doing nothing, as i dont miss it in soloing. if i would not have played the game with squads, where experienced players showed the pace, best routes, best tactics, i might not have any fun in ctb; and recently, winning those games just got more and more work.
can only say, the summer comes, and with summer comes holidays, and after holidays, with fresh independent return to the project, i also hope devs will have some epiphanies.
I undrestand that it’s not your desicion. But many players from ru segment wants to discuss this patch. Can you use your influence as international segment CM to solve this problem somehow?
Or we (those players from ru-segment) need to come here and discuss it here?

This is not the same packs, they give different stuff. New prem ships have different purchase mechanics, cause parts for them could be found in the game
I don’t need nor want any different stuff, just ship parts! And we should get 50 ship parts for buying x5 Bundles!
I only need or want desired “ship pieces” for my ship and nothing else.
Sure, such pieces can be found in the game as well. In 4 months, I will get enough of them to actually get one for free, no problem there.

CinnamonFake (Today, 04:28 PM):
But what about the actual parts in the packs?
Why, was the chances for parts improved? Last time I checked they were dropping on average 0.6 part/container (yes - that’s 6 parts per two 5x packs) based on about 90kGS spent in 1.3.4, so netting almost exactly 100GS/part in multipack (including guaranteed parts).
And no - that’s not guessing - just asking 3 friends from corp and spending some thousands of GS myself.
