Btw, some sort of daily mission for a small amount of electrum could still be left in game for the next year. Even if there would be no bundle for it. That could give another reason for logging every day. And those who missed the event could get resources by the time these ships came back.
star marathon? ”)
That’s it, the only increase in materials was to make it so we get 15 of the new one, rather than 5, 10, or 15? I’m kinda underwhelmed here. You should increase the volume of the other materials as well, as otherwise the previous statement that we’d be given enough materials from the event to make one R14 destroyer by the end of the Jericho phase (which is next) will not be true if the material volumes in the second phase will otherwise be about the same.
I’m really seeing a troubling shift to browser/mobile gaming marketing in PC online games these days. Just because it makes some of those games a lot of money, doesn’t mean it will be a guarantee to high profits, it’s just a few that see those high profits, as others don’t do that well since the market is saturated with such games. I don’t play browser/mobile games as I don’t like the way they are marketed, plus how that marketing affects how they are designed to be played, and know others feel the same way. Just as I was starting to rather like how you guys were doing things, you went, and pulled this BS move, seriously, reconsidered, and drop this plan to pull R14 destroyers from production for months after this event.
well…we had months and months to gather berry and neo. I already had all i needed before sirius was able to be crafted.

Nearly all of the beryllium I had went into making Sibyl once I noticed that Gage’s missions give extra electrum for included destroyers. Was expecting it to be the bottleneck rather than beryllium, but now these missions are handing electrum left and right, and there is a strict time limit which makes me wonder if I can get enough beryllium for the next Jericho destroyer model without putting crazy amount of hours into it daily.

About 20-50 minutes a day for me completed all of my dailies. Seems like a pretty good deal at the moment. It just sucks for anyone who wanted the Sirius.

Yeah but, we can hope of crafting 2 r14 for free. So it easily compensate it for me. ”)

I only have like 300 monos so I’m just going for one. I’all just keep the excess electrum in my collection of rare goods. Right next to my batteries and Iridium girders and I wish I hadn’t sold my fuel.
the new mission for the blueprints to build the alien destroyer weapon is way too hard. The defiler, really? Like 80% of the pilots have no clue how to fly that mission. You can see that because they ignore alien portals and the matter inverter.
Most of the team dies after first inverter, rinse and repeat… yeah xD no fun.
I don’t know. I joined a squad of randoms, and we defined roles before starting it (Focusing inverters, and a recon to close portals).
Everything went fine. 2 Defiler and 0 death.
well, gratz, happy you had easy going :-). I don’t have the luck, even in a squad. When rest of team dies, the squad of four can’t make it either.
Are there any tipps on flying the defiler? I was trying it with a destroyer, halo launcher, range build, focusing on inverter and aliens/defiler.
Get a squad of 12 peoples instead of 4.
2 Recons to close portals ASAP
1 command with damage buff + speed buff + auras
2-3 Engineers focusing on healing.
And for the rest, use only destroyers with halo + range.
Don’t forget to bring flares for the defiler missiles, and build full EM resist.
Just explain your wing how the defiler works before you launch.

You know, you really have a habit of sounding like a white knight for them by constantly coming up with some way to excuse, or down play whatever in some way negative thing is said. It was said we’d have more than enough materials from the event to make the next Jericho destroyer (which is next) in time, as I said, if the materials in the next phase are given in the same volume as this one, then that won’t be true. This event phase will give 170 Neo, 185 Ber, 330+ (plus up to about 240 more from the deployment task) Elec, twice that would be 340 Neo, 370 Ber, 660+ (plus up to about 480 more from the Guage task) Elec, you need 360 Neo, 360 Ber, and 720 Elec, hence if the Neo at least is in the same volume next phase, what was said won’t be true, period, simple, there it is, why fight facts? We’d be swimming in Elec as someone else said, just enough Ber, but not enough Neo, then there’s all the other parts.
I should have enough, but that won’t change the fact it was said we’d have more than enough from the event in time, which it seems we won’t. If all he was referring to was the Elec, then he should have put that one extra word in to clarify that, he didn’t, so since the event is giving just destroyer parts, it stands to reason he was referring to us getting more than enough of all of the destroyer parts.

So you are basically saying “developers will not give us free R14 destroyer. We will have to get some materials by ourselves.” Well - I think that’s the point. 20 Neodium is so easy to get now that it just needs a little thinking how to get it. I had similar feeling that Neo would be bottleneck for me so I checked some possibilities of gaining more. I will not say what I did or how many neodium I got in last 5 days, cause people will accuse me of something, but I can just tell you it’s a way more than 20.
I don’t even look for neo, just have them. But does electrum drop yet?

This. Personally ive been doing mostly neodium mission for star marathon. If i sound like a white knight defending the devs, its because i find too much people whine, a lot. Most of what you do phoenix is whinning, and you are agressive…you may not know, but there are different ways of saying things. I agree on many points you say, but you fail on what i just stated. Why do i feel people whine too much? cause ive obtained almost all i needed by the hard way: no license, no GS purchase, no DLCs…and i did not killed myself in the process. Now i got a lot of GS cause i work for it by being a translator (that actually requires work), and i still have time to play SC and farm the things i need, do my real life stuff, etc.
phoenix is in the first matter NOT whining.
If a dev states something and he criticize this bringing facts, it’s not whining.
Cin lie to us with his statement.
And the excuse of being able to get 1 free is false.
You get either jericho(which is even unknown if this is true) or empire(or at worst only this) for free. The other case is behind a paywall for F2P players and THIS suck.
Has nothing to do with whining, it’s a fufu move from the devs.
Can one post a screenshot/give stats of the new weapon? Can’t login now.
My feeling about neo/berry, while not necessary, the move of giving it too is nice from the devs. Lacking amount wouldn’t be the way to blame devs.

Or they could just give us enough resources through the daily tasks, unless getting a certain reward through a certain tasks is suddenly considered to be “for free”?
And about that “mysterious” way of getting more resources, let me guess, it’s based on some RNG loot, right? Now the fun fact about RNG, even when each player is going to follow into your “footsteps” and does the exact same thing, with the exact same ship, equipment, implants and so on, they will probably not get the same rewards as you in the end.
But here something else i noticed over the last few days, it looks like i’m getting now one Impure Neodium from the first daily mission/co-op/special ops run on every second last or last loot spot in the trophy search on every day. Now isn’t that a funny coincidence?

“for free” as opposite to “pay for it” as people here are claiming. RNG is just RNG so yeah if a player would follow exactly what I am doing he would have similar result ±10%. And methods are not mysterious. All of them are known and described, so no mystery here, you just have to think how to maximize yield ”) Cmon, I will not spoil the fun and tell you everything. All information is on this forum. If you want me to further encourage you for looking, even what is supposed to be fully random events gave me what Phoenix_Shi is complaining about in 30 minutes and I consider that “extra” ”)
Regarding coincidences - humans tend to see patterns. To check if it is coincidence or a rule, you have to repeat it for ~100 times, recording each result, to be more on “rule” side than on “coincidence” side.

Let’s put it simple. 3 destroyers, 3 months. I trust your math. First month: as you said - 170 Neo, 185 Bery. Next two - lets say 60 days, Neo/Berry alternate. 450 Neo, 450 Berry. Lets add it to your results. 620 Neo, 635 Berry. So… What am I missing?

With all due respect. Can you change the method of your expression, please? It hurts when I’m trying to read you time and time again to extract any meaning from your posts.
I’ll try to answer in simple way:
Devs stated that you will be able to craft one R14 Destroyer from Broker missions during this event ← fact. If this event will last till Christmas (and CF said that missions will be available for all 3 destroyers) you will have over 600 Neo, 600 Berry and enough electrum to build one and still have some left (and again that’s what CF said). Phoenix_Shi is speculating that we will have only one more phase in November, which contradicts what devs said. So his speculations are not facts as far as I am concerned.
Accusation of being a liar pointed at CinnamonFake - please show me the statement you are talking about.
Then you are starting to speculate without any grounds that “And the excuse of being able to get 1 free is false.” (what that even means, tbh?!)
Then you are stating that it’s not possible to get more than one destroyer in this event without paying - again not true. I did the math and it is possible to get two. Now, please show me your grounds for this statement. Otherwise you are just spreading false information.
And I agree with the last of your statements - there are many people that are lacking even R11 destroyers, this event is a great opportunity for them to get them.
You repeated the exact false statement I’m speaking about.
>>Devs stated that you will be able to craft one R14 Destroyer from Broker missions during this event ← fact. <<
That’s false.
You are able to craft EMPIRE one(according to the plan). Not fed, maybe not jericho.
One = any of the 3.
That’s the wrong thing behind this statement.
>>Then you are starting to speculate without any grounds that “And the excuse of being able to get 1 free is false.” (what that even means, tbh?!) <<
It imply you can choose which one of the three. But that’s exactly not possible. Not at the current time. And the excuse of being ‘available later’: You don’t know when this happen. So it’s all depending on the mood of the devs. So nothing you can count on. Everyone that rely on this IS SPECULATING.
