it should be once every 3 hours.
Guys, I will put this here. I hope you don’t mind. Since this issue is related to patch v1.1.3, I wish to point out a solution.
How to get a fight:
VP or CEO must create an attack on location, no later than 2 hours before games (if games starts in less than 2 hours, attacks can not be created)
In Federation space, battles held at UTC( GMT) 02:00 (= Moscow 05:00 = 22:00 Toronto)
Befor battle is scheduled, corporation that has an attack vector must have as many wings as there are vectors of attack (wings can be 4 to 8 pilots and lead by corporation Officer or higher)
Stage 1
Leader of the wing, must go to Dreadnaught map and click on the sector that his corporation anounced attack on (sector should have 4 small red markers around it) The moment wing leader click on it, wing is assigned to that sector, this must be done within 4 minutes (but i recommend signin in the moment it is available) of scheduled time (In Federation space, battles held at UTC( GMT) 02:00 (= Moscow 05:00 = 22:00 Toronto)
After sector registration expires (couple of minutes) Tournament grid is formed based on corporations signed up for fight and showed up
Fights at stage 1 starts (whole stage is 30 minutes)
Stage 2
30 minutes later, if there are more than 2 corporations signed up for the sector (3 and more) there will be stage 2, based on winners of stage 1
Wing leader MUST sign up for stage 2 AGAIN, wing can have less or more people (within boundaries 4-8), pilots can be replaced, ships can be re equipped right after stage 1 is done and stage 2 did not start. After you sign up for stage 2 you go in queue and can’t change anything again.
9)after sign up timer expires - battles begin
Stage 3
If there are enough corporations - there will be stage 3
repeat 7-9
10)…
11)…
12)…
13)Corporation that got to the top, gets the sector, profit
NOTE:
even if there were 8 announcements on a sector, and ONLY ONE wing showed up, it still must signe up FOR EACH stage within tournament ladder, so in case of 8 sign ups, there will be 3i stages -> gotta confirm you are there every 30 minutes :((
They need to simplify it so it’s like the old sector conquest…
Or like a tornament…
just queue for a battle on a sector with a wing… fight… winner takes all… done…
They need to simplify it
If this is all too hard for someone to understand, they’re better off playing club penguin
I am stupid. Can someone explain how it works if Corp want to have more than one wing in battle?
I agree with terror. This has to be the most important strategic content in the game. While some simplyfing idea could be needed it can’t be a “click and fight” process.
And by the way thanx devs for realizing ideas I posted in the forum couple of years ago lol
Next step for the future: make dreads fully controllable by players and ofc some special dreadnought vs defilers or alienzilla ships pve… Maybe revising the specop mission

should see the OP.
Is there any point to sending multiple squads to a sector?

Yes, for defending.

Announcing 4 Attacks and then showing up in only 1 wing, not only waste of iridium, useless and simply annoys the hell out of other corporations that could play but were not allowed because your empty attacks took out slots for participation.
On contrary if you announce 2 attacks and show up in 2 wings, you greatly increase your chances of obtaining the sector.
In the update v1.1.3. - Dreadnoughts I do not understand one thing. This game is supposed to be an MMO. In Special Ops Scenario we get a Wing of 12 pilots.
Why do we have only 8 available pilots in one Wing instead of 12? 12 vs. 12 would mean 24 pilots, which at least would be more interesting, than 8 vs. 8.
I would be glad, if I get an answer from one of the developers on Monday.
I was hoping we could just, fly our dreads to a sector and just attack it as if we were just freely opened space. some how they managed to make such a simple concept to such a complicated thing.
We would not be complaining so much if we didn’t had to wait so long for the release of the dreads. so our expectations went through the roof as we waited.
Can attacking wings have pilots from other corps?
Can attacking wings have pilots from other corps?
Only defending wings
Only defending wings
Then how did another wing have people from all different corps?
So I looked at this new update and I’m going back to School of Dragons…
Jk. Hopefully when I get on the CDF TS someone will be kind enough to explain this confusing stuff.
Then how did another wing have people from all different corps?
pics or didnt happen
What do you mean, offence wing was made out of people from different corporations?
do you have any logs/screens? because if yes it is a bug and gotta be fixed.
Very epic dread buttle.
Nemesis wing in very hard fight!

yeah we had it last night and it cost ed 2500 iridium for us
I am very disappointed. Originally the dreadnoughts were supposed to be given to the Corporations to ensure the peace in the border sectors and drive back the alien menace. Now it seems they are only used for internal petty Corp-vs. Corp struggles fuled by machtlust. This is a big dissapointment and we will all suffer for it when the aliens exploit this madness.
