Best Of

I just realized this is the long-asked for Non-Rerun Skirmish With No New Ship, because we realized the making of new ships was making it harder to hold as many skirmish events as the players wanted. I may be the first to thank you for it, but please note that no one is complaining! So, thanks.

I like it too. However, I still need all the Dil I get for crew slots...

Wait, wait, wait. If they changed it from the SR Behold to honor, then I think a lot of people are indeed asking them to revert back! Has anyone got an SR Behold since this change, or only SR straight drops and Legendary beholds?

I got one today.

Who claimed they had been replaced?

I would think any type of shortcuts to be optional switches in the game's settings. No one would be forced to use them.

How about a button in FBB/ship battles that lets me insert my four preselected characters. I hate having to search out my team after we fill the combo slots.

Why are people arguing over the suggestion? If you don't want to use Auto, just don't turn it on to start with?

As for it would affect Skirmishes, it is not going to give you bonus Intel. Nor is it going to suddenly drop Chronitons randomly into your account to get more Intel. People who want to rank higher will still need to either "bank" Chronitons. Or spend money to get them.

I like the idea of less clicking for medical reasons. I was greatly helped by only having to click Auto once and Speed Up three times at the start of a Battle. Doing it once, and it remembering my settings for the Event is even better. My hands won't be literally crippled up for a few days by Monday, when there is a full Skirmish.

If I want to push higher in a Skirmish, I'll still need to buy Intel, Chronitons, or Dilithium to run more Battles.

Another in FBB, when specific traits grey out (romantic, federation, etc.) of the combo choices, don't show recommended characters that cannot solve because that trait is not longer an option.

Greetings Captains, we deeply analyzed all the questions you had to say and we're drafting the following initiates.

1.- Provide you with more visibility with suggestions we bring to the team
2.- A loop answers for you captains to hear what the team has to say regarding such suggestions

We will attempt to provide accurate numbers in future adjustments and the same time keep exploring and provide you with more detail information for this specific situation.

Most requests here in the forums suggest either a readjustment of the Honor Amount or set back to a SR Behold/crew.

Apologies for not answering every question Captains, it's been busy lately, but hopefully this initiative will bring better understanding and visibility of your proposals. LLAP

And that is why people are losing faith. After pages and days of back and forth, your comments are still showing a lack of understanding of what the issue even is. Please see this post. https://forum.wickedrealmgames.com/stt/discussion/comment/280926/#Comment_280926

No one is asking you to revert back. People are saying, get rid of the replicator rations and make it the same Honor, chrons, and 4* crew as other drops.

Wait, wait, wait. If they changed it from the SR Behold to honor, then I think a lot of people are indeed asking them to revert back! Has anyone got an SR Behold since this change, or only SR straight drops and Legendary beholds?

The more charitable of us assumed the change was just from Replicator Rations to honor. Were we wrong?

I've had both a behold and a straight 4* drop, in addition to the straight honor drop. It seems to me like the straight honor drop is happening at a higher rate than the old rations, which is why some people have also been asking about the drop rates - what they are and if they have also changed recently.

Making skirmish battles easier does not make skirmish battles easier. People don't understand point inflation. For most players going for rank reward, the limiting factor is time spent. If you make a skirmish quicker/easier, all you'll do is cause people to play even more and raise the chron costs for the skirmish. The amount of time clicking will be the same, it'll just cost more in chrons and result in a higher vp to reach the same reward as you do now.

That depends on individual goals... For anyone who cares about top 1500, or top 100, or top x, which indeed is implied if you take the 10000 tap number literally, you are absolutely correct. For those who have the goal of just getting the static rewards, be it at 130k or 400k, reducing the number of clicks would be an actual effort saver.

Personally, I am more often in the second category than the first, so my preference would be for an option for a permanent 'auto+3x' preference to be implemented, but I agree it will definitely lead to significant point inflation in the Tops list...

If all you're interested in is hitting threshold, the skirmish events are already the easiest ones to do this. By a long way. You can hit threshold with less than two hours of play, and if you're not trying to rank that two hours can be spread over the whole event.

Just how little effort do you want to have to put in?

I'm kind of in the same boat as Admiral_C. I don't play Skirmish events to "win", but I don't stop at the top threshold reward either. I play to get the most out of my chronitons, which involves spending every single one I have on space battles (Thank you, Take My Chrons spreadsheet), skirmishing away all my intel, and then doing it again. I don't even save up chrons (except the collection rewards and such) and this generally places me at rank 300-500, so I guess my strategy isn't all that common. But every time I think I've saved enough of the materials most efficiently gained through space battles, we have another Galaxy event, and whoops, I'm out of Novel 1 again (or something).

Anyway, remembering my Auto and speed selections on Skirmish would help me spend a lot less time on Skirmish while not moving my score, though I'm not sure that's what the devs actually want.
