Dreadlisk’s attack radius during the battle was lowered from 450 to 425.
Damage made by Scout to units of small size was reduced from x2 to x1.75.
Cost of Needle tree was increased by 200 of gas.
The formula for calculating the cost of Telepathist was changed and that led to its reduction in price for almost all players by 2 times.


In developing:
- Medals against depletion
- Gas consumption in expeditions is going to be in the amount of 1/10 of the rate of consumption per hour.


Area of appearance of pirates was expanded from 50 to 100 arms, and their number was increased from 90 to 100 per 5 minutes.

News from BE (balance editor)

You couldn’t activate a vacation mode during 24 hours after the capture of asteroid.
You can leave asteroid for urgent activation of vacation mode.

The campaign starts at 21:00 October 29, Ural-time .  You can see relevant information: icon and description in Premium. Before the appearance of the icon in Premium and after it disappearance on November 1, pumpkins will not be issued!

Dear players, on Halloween we have prepared special campaign with a unique opportunity to increase the number of fields on your space objects. Only till October 31, it is possible to get a new medal which called "Exploding space pumpkin" . Activate it and increase the number of fields from 1 to 3 with a probability 50%. 
You can get a pumpkin for free for every 1000 HC donated to the project during the holiday period October 29-31. 1000 HC stay on your account and you spend them as you want, pumpkin is just an extra gift. Fields can be increased on the planets, moons, asteroids, entities, pirate stations and comets.

In accordance with the announcement of the Editor of Balance it is allowed to build defenses on asteroids. In order to avoid a super defense, such as planetary defense, flaming worms, obelisks, requirements for the construction of a super defense changed: some buildings cannot be built on asteroids. This requirement must not complicate the construction of such defense on planets and moons.

It is impossible to cancel auto recovery of defense and returning of resources from its repairing.
When you capture an asteroid or a special planet, the defense will store on the object.
For example, Bob has captured Colin’s asteroid, breaking defense. On the new captured asteroid Bob will see the restoration of Colin’s defense which now belongs to him as to the owner of asteroid.

It was allowed to build defense on asteroids for
1) Increasing the value of the asteroids (to capture asteroid with defense is better than to capture asteroid without defense).
2) The ability to keep asteroids in the property.
3) The calculation of payback with defense and without it is well combined with x5 entered recently.
4) Countering the players, flying at asteroids with small fleet, smashing only service fleet.


Tribunals of tosses now summons fleet not to the moon, but to coordinates of the moon where he is.
The duration of summon is 6 minutes now.


Speed of recyclers, providers and couriers was increased last week.


Protector now helps to hide 750 points and not 900.
16% cut is motivated by the participants of the Privy Council and BE. They have presented the fact that FAS allows players to hide fleet and offend super tops on asteroids, smashing their service fleet. It is a problem for them to catch 100 cruisers because there may be even 100500 cruisers on the float under the FAS.
So the administration agreed to cut paid officer in deference to Council and BE.

Balance editor Shakur666 reported:


1) The FAS protection of Protector will be reduced from 900 per level to 750 per level

2) Entering defense on asteroids, where planetary defense, flaming worms and obelisks will be impossible to build.

When capturing an asteroid defense will be restored on the basis of % of its recovery.

If  asteroid was left, it is planned that it will become a pirate’s (no newbie protection), in order not to transmit asteroids with defense without loss. If there are any resources on asteroid,  they  will be deleted when recapture.

More detailed information about the changes will be next week.

В дереве технологий кликните по защитнику и увидите его уровень.

Тут нечего поддерживать, так как идея выгодна только сильным игрокам и не учитывает интересы слабых по очкам игроков.
Пункты 2 и 3 нарушают существующую механику игры.
Также стоит обратить внимание на то, что внесение изменений в существующую механику игры не предусмотрено регламентом РБ.


Судя по всему не мне одной видится, что эта идея вызвана личным интересом ТС и других топов.

Вы же сперва прошпионили планету и получили шпионский отчёт, ваша вряд ли способна её проатаковать - только убиться, по другому это назвать сложно.

Миссия "Атака" подразумевает стремление победить, в описании миссии не указано "убейте об эту планету одну баклушу".

The speed of civilian (auxiliary) fleet was increased:
Small cargo 300/400 to 400/500
Large cargo 225 to 275
Recycler 180 to 200

Overlord  150/300 to 175/350
Provider 100/150 to 125/175

Shuttle 300 to 350
Courier 220 to 250

Fortification technology was reduced. New formula is 100 000 * 1,66 in the degree of technology level.
Old formula was 100 000 * 1,75 in the degree of technology level.
Reducing of  Fortification technology  is the next step of reducing of Lexx.

Formulas of production of planetary ripper were changed. You can find them into description of this unit.
The main purpose of this changes is ripper’s versatility for all races. Now xerjs and terrans can build it on planets, and obtain additional production.  According to suggestion of RAZZAGAL rippers are less profitable on a very small planet, it is more beneficial on medium and even large planets because we have reduced the influence of the diameter in the formulas.
 
More expensive energy of Tosses  was  taken into account so they can reduce ripper’s consumption technologically.

Fuel costs of devourers were increased from 70 to 80.

Attack power of dreadlisks was reduced by 10%.

Nexus capacity was increased.

Damage on organic targets of wardens was increased up to 75%.

Specialization of quantum destroyer was reduced.

Speed of matriarchates and the patriarchates was reduced by 10%, also speed of usurpers was reduced by 20%. Mudkip got some changes too.

Лунопопытку можно делать, но нельзя назвать слив флота лунопопыткой, если луна образована гораздо ранее проведённого боя.

Newby protection
х3 up to 25к points (instead of х5)
х5 from 25к up to 3кк points (instead of х10 and instead of 1кк)
and х10 from 3кк points (instead of unlimited for more then 1кк)
It was made for young players’ protection which will give them more interest for the future development in the game.

Juggernaut – flight speed was increased but the speed of collection of debris was reduced.

Scourges, mudkips and vikings also got some changes.

Now, if the fleet was not able to return to the moon / entity because of its absence, it flies with the same speed as if it was flying from the moon.

Please, address all your question to balance editor

Automatic speed selection for returning from coordinates was entered.

It doesn’t not allow fleet to get stuck defending coordinates (or in occupation) in situations when is not enough vespene to return on the top speed. Now, fleet will choose the highest possible speed, taking into account the available gas.
This option can be disabled in the settings of the fleet:



Flight time with automatic speed selection cannot be more then 7 days, and if it is greater, then the fleet will continue to hang on the coordinates.



Also the manual recall of fleets standing on the coordinates was modified.
If it is not enough Vespene, you will see a warning, and can decide if you need such recall or to choose another variant.

Locked fleet also can be recalled manually.

Now special planets can be devoured as ordinary planets.
The percentage of return of resources for the demolition of buildings is reduced from 25 to 10 on all planets and return of resources after the destruction of buildings on special planets is returned.

The percentage of devouring by Lexx is reduced from 40 to 25.

Creating of asteroids
Asteroids creating process was updated. Before change one had  50% chance of creating an asteroid after  the destruction of the planet. Now we have formula:
[ Diameter of the planet / 500] = chance %  to create an asteroid


Thus, the larger the planet - the higher the chance of creating an asteroid after the destruction the planet, but risk to loose destroyers also became higher.



Nuclear missiles


Now you can deactivate the missile if the bunker was destroyed before it passing half the distance (if the missile passes 50% of the distance and more it strays off course and crashes on random coordinates after the destruction of the bunker).


Planetary Devouring


Now planetary devouring does not add resources if Lexx devouring special planet (See the section "Help") or pirate stations.



Charts

We have graphics for those who appreciate the economic component of the game.


The information is displayed in charts for the whole year, but is grouped by weeks. It is collected during only a few weeks, but soon you will see the dynamics.
You can see information about units, resources and course of Hydarian crystals to universal resource.

UPD. New targets can appear once a day (was once in 2 days)

Today, we have filled a new mechanic: EvP ( environment vs. player).

Bounty Hunter Buba burst into the universe. He is willing to work with anyone who has enough strength to destroy the enemy. Many players on the server destroy the pirates. Now the pirates can also assign a reward for the player's head.
If you have destroyed just 1 pirate’s stealth, no one wants your head. But any aggression against pirates are recorded and stored. Hunt will start at a certain value. Eventually the level of aggression decreases. At the moment, only the pirates can announce a reward for the player's head.

How to get a reward?


There are several items for which the award is granted:
  - Destruction of fleets
  - Destruction of buildings
  - Destruction of planets, moons and entities
  - Collision of moons and entities
  - Nuclear strike
  - Planetary devouring
Complete rules can be found on the page of the hunter: https://xcraft.ru/market/buba/


You can access this page through the section "Trade" block "bounty hunting":

New targets appear once in 2 days. Drop in to the hunter for checking from time to time.
Additional message is sent to those who fit by level:


What should a player who got in the list for hunting do?

Fleeing (VM), or fend off wanting to get a reward for your head for 30 days.
After hunting the timer expires, you will have another 30 days to "rest" (the time during which the system does not select you again).



What do I get for tokens?


After destroying the fleet or infrastructure of target (within the time specified on page of hunter) you get "token", a special currency that can be exchanged for various goods from Bounty_Hunter_Buba.
Items change daily and sometimes they are rare and expensive - for example Jouann, Arbiter, etc. In most cases, numbers of rare items are limited to the entire server, so if you do not have time to exchange tokens for goods, you will have to wait for the next supply

Please get acquainted with new appearance of xerjs buildings.
You can also turn on animation in menu Options in tab Interface find Sound and animation and choose Fleet animation at Overview and Buildings tabs.

A bug due to which vikings in the defense mode made less damage than they should,  was fixed.

A bug, because of which the destroyed scourges left only half scrap than they should, was fixed.
