the sound for gauss cannon… i don’t know… it annoys me… the old one had a more ‘powerful’ feeling to it… in any case, maybe it requires re-adjustment either on my part or the sound effect or reversion…
yaya, since nothing meaningful is being implemented i thought i would throw something meaningless out there, see if it does.
For this patch, what should have happened;
- Synergy Changes to Premium Ships - The option to purchase free synergy with credits. Possibly under class or tier limitations, but something.
- Synergy Requirement reduction at higher tiers. From rank 8-9 onwards, the grind becomes increasingly more prohibitive. This is a good mechanic, but has gone a little too far under the current system.
- Match Making - The removal of mixed tiers, even if it’s only to throw the community a bone and give it a shot.
- Customisation - The competion of this game mechanic as the current implementation is half done. Including permanent options and an option to buy ‘1 day’ customisation for credits.
- Weapons - Hit effects / Sound for the ‘bubble gun’ are extremely high on the wish-list of players and it is unclear why these were not included to begin with.
These are just some of the smallest/most desired requests - in terms of adding new content there are a wide range of requests, some of them which would take very little development time.
amen to that!
Shouldn’t there be a poll somewhere around here on the patch?
And the point of said poll would be what exactly ? As from what I have seen, the Dev’s rarely listen or take onboard the feedback from the community … I doubt a poll would even be worth the time spent posting it
Shouldn’t there be a poll somewhere around here on the patch?
Last time we had a poll on anything important we all voted for something the Devs didn’t want, so we got ignored.
Once, we got one poll a week. Now it’s not even one a month…
Picked the game up again about 2 weeks ago. Been pleasantly surprised to find that most of the stuff that made me leave has been fixed.
That being said, The changes to synergy are a complete clone of the WoT experience system. Not that there’s anything wrong with it per se (I hate it, but that’s a personal thing), but come ON devs, find your own material.
And on to the topic at hand
Squad size reduced to 3?
How long before we’re at 2? OR no squads at all? Gaijin, you really have to stop trying to copy World of Tanks and do your own thing. I left WoT about the same time I started Star Conflict and that’s not a coincidence, please don’t make me regret it.
Other than that, patch looks not too bad, not sure why the Assault Railguns needed a damage buff though, Shrapnel Cannons definitely didn’t.

just about everyone left WoT a long time ago… after realizing just how much time/money that game actually costs… like a second job… or you gotta get a second job to support it pretty much… lmao
support… just to get your butt handed to you in 2-tier-spread matchups. hahah… no problem, you can fix that… just give us more $$$… facepalm… buy premium ammo so you can actually pen their armor! cool story bro…
don’t use failed business models. people already have a strong aversion to the WoT model, and using it won’t win you any customers any time soon.
Thanks for the Gauss Gun. Its just what I wanted for it.

Tis a tragedy indeed :sad:
I’ve been playing casually since May and I haven’t spent enough money on this game to slam the devs for anything they’ve done or not done to it.
It’s a Beta.
You play by yourself don’t you? Well, for the majority of us who group up to win matches this lost us.
Rename StarConflict in Fireworks Conflict.
Just stand behind a Rock and Watch the Number of Torpedoes 
Can I ask why you wouldn’t reiumburse everyone who has Premium Ships 20% of their saved Synergy converted to Free Synergy for this patch? I really think you guys could have avoided a lot of flack if you just did this for everyone. At least the playing we have done over the last 3 weeks wouldn’t feel like it was in vain. I think you guys should consider doing this. I think this might get most people (including myself) off your back for a while until you guys figure out what you are really doing over there.
Just to put my 2 cents in, I don’t think the problem is earning more Synergy, You guys are focusing on the wrong issue here. You keep saying “we are collecting feedback and we will discuss”. I just really don’t think you are listening. You have a direction you want the game to go in, that I understand. Why even collect any feedback from us though when you make changes that, based on what I have been reading, were not even asked for? Squad size changes? Who asked for that? Aim and Camera changes? Who asked for that? You’re not really listening at all, so again, maybe you’ll get most of us off your back if you can, at a minimum, reimburse 20% of saved Synergy on Premium Ships as Free Synergy for us to use.
That I feel would be fair right now.

Yeah, I just come in to fly around in zigzags and blow stuff up :bomber:
I’m one of those who spend quite a bit of money on it - partially because I needed to in order to form a corporation and partially because I simply wanted to show some support for the game. This was before 0.9.0 I would add. I have the financial means to not really worry about what I spend on my gaming activities IF I had the desire to spend more money;
- I still miss 2 of the pirate packs.
- I’d pay good money for my corporation logo in the game.
- I’d pay a lot of GS to paint all my ships, if I was able to do so permanently as I am lazy and don’t want to repaint my ships all the time.
- I’d buy additional premium ships if I felt they still had some value in terms of progress and bringing something which normal ships do not. And I’m not talking about combat performance, I’m happy operating on an equal basis there.
However, the latest changes (squad size reduction specifically) have gone directly against what the community has asked for. I know - because I compiled a chunk of the feedback that was send to the developers - a huge document detailing exactly what people asked for with links to all topics supporting these suggestions.As a result, I am extremely reluctant to spend any additional money, even though I desperately want to see this game succeed. The only way I feel comfortable spending more is if and when I have the feeling that the developers are genuinely working on changes that the community has actually asked for - and are man enough to admit to mistakes and revert them before they become bigger issues than we can deal with.

Here Here.
I mean honestly Dev’s, show me where the changes in the last 2 patches were discussed by anyone. Link all of us to those requests so we can all shut up about it. This is a challenge to you to show that you are really listening.
Aim and Camera changes? Who asked for that?
To be fair, we have been asking for camera changes. We’ve been asking for them since they gave us the current camera months back.
It would have taken them an hour at most to give us what we wanted. Instead, it took about eight weeks to give us something that isn’t quite what we wanted.
I propose friendly fire for both nukes and guided torps to counteract the spam.

Fair enough. I have been silenced on that one. You got one right. **slow clap**
you’ve secretly nerfed engineer again.AGAIN!
i dont know what has happened to the game mechanism
but now guards and engineers die quick and helpless on the frontier
you really want to let them play a role of defender?or its the commands’ job?
what can i say,let’s play WOT in space!

cant agree more. see what happened when the friendly fire for nukes was canceled!
Squad size change: Time to find another game. My mates and I don’t make up a large group, but we definitely will not play a *multiplayer* game that restricts us to playing with just two friends when there are many time 4 or more of us looking to play. I was already confused with the 4-squad max - how do you even set up corp matches? Custom only?
WIll the numebr of f2p games out there, just about every one allows for more grouping and teamplay than this game. In fact, it seems as if coordinated teamwork is actively discouraged in this game. What is the purpose of a corp at this point? GS sink?
Here is the irony: They changed the tiering system because they did not have enough players for seperate tiers. In doing so, they lost more players. Now they change the squad mechanics because so few players stick around long enough to reach the upper tiers and the few that do get crushed by the tier 15 squads. The most upsetting changes have been an attempt to retain players, but the changes are so ill thought out, that they end up driving the players away.
Is it just me, or is Edgar Allan Poe the lead dev or something?
Is it me - or does the shrapnel cannon show that its range is still the same with the same DPS ??
Unless the increases are hidden, I would say its not worked ???
tell me why its just “Some weapons” that gets increased range the higher tier,
like my positron is same equal range, but i see this affects laser, why just “some” gotta be specific dude and tell wich ones, that would done this quite simpler
