Kuiper GG breaking news text:

Greetings, pilots!

Out there in the depths of the solar system lies the Kuiper belt. For ages the asteroids have been mined by humans until the Sibelons turned them into traitors against the rest of humanity.

Being nothing more than cannon fodder for their Sibelon masters for much too long, a group of Sibelon and Saimon strategists have decided that Streuners could be of much more use fighting with stronger ships and upgraded weaponry.

Has the tide turned and humanity is used for Streuner target practice now?

Travel to the Kuiper belt and face the challenge:

- 5 new maps with a total of 34 waves 6 new NPC: Emperor Streuner, Soldier Streuner, Specialist Streuner, Streuner Guard Turret, Rocketeer Streuner and Seeker Rocket

- Valuable rewards and drops New Achievement

Your task as an elite pilot is to infiltrate in their HQ and destroy all the upgraded prototypes and all the aliens helping them.


A new statistic has been added to the Equipment In-Client feature. Items will now show a range value if they have one, will be quite useful for things such as ice rockets which have a bigger range than lasers do.

There is also a few bits to do with the assembly feature but nothing out of the ordinary, just log messages.

 

Great more ice rocket hell

 

oh no more ice rockets they are a pain in the b um hole

 

It is good if they're working on bringing events that are actually beneficial for the players (Like the Tunnel of Terror Gate).

But I hope they realize that it is important to solve existing issues at the same time. Like
Inactive Servers, existing bugs, balancing the game, etc.

I hope they realize how the updates affecting "speed" is destroying the game play.

Pusat (already a pain to fight when they can keep running n come back with full HP), wheel and then the ice rockets.

Ice rocket is just terrible, it makes it impossible to fight/escape from a group of enemies when they can slow u down in a sec.
Really I don't wanna see them again.

The servers are dead and any clan that has 5 - 10 active members [especially noobs who always stay together] is making it hard for the other players.

For instance, in my server Turkish players seem to be very active (always 5-10 on or nobody is on) and they always stay together, either boxing or hunting.
Now they're so noobs that they will always give you 5v1 or 10v1. Every time any of them chases you, they call the whole army lol.
A funny incident happened yesterday, one of them saw me jumping 4-1, that noob called his friends from 4-2 before jumping to that map and even in 5v1, he ran.

The situation is so bad that none in my server takes any interest to fight them cos they're always having double or triple the numbers.
This is the reason my server is becoming more and more dead.

So I think (atleast from my experience) this can be 1 reason to make a less active servers even more inactive.

So I think there needs to be a balance in the game. New updates should not always favor the bigger numbers but also the other side.

Atleast I prefer to fight a proper 1v1 or even 2v1 (without the opponent running & coming back with an army/full HP).

You should work on making the server more active. There is simply nobody to fight with.

 

"...Rocketeer Streuner and Seeker Rocket..."

Since this is mentioned a few times, please know that they have nothing to do with the existing Ice Rockets. Missile Command, maybe. Ice Rockets, no.

 

Thank you for that info Good to know that.

 

your not meant to be all power full in game you get attacked by 3 people you should pop if a group attacks you and use their ice rockets to their advantage that's dealing with other players always adjusting that the draw of a online game to test your skill out on other players part of skill is thwarting and using every tool at your disposal to get a favorable outcome to the encounter.

that being said think on the noob shooting aliens trying to grow always getting attacked. ice rockets are a great defense for these guys too a lot of what makes people quit is the fact they get popped every 10 mins or less when on map and to take a tool that if used right improves your chances of escape that's just stupid. there is more then just the balls out pvp in this game and items can be used multiple ways you cant knock an item unless you look at all angles and everyone your effecting

 

Agree of its advantage for weaker players. But its not only the newbies that plays this game.

This game is largely PvP. I don't mean to be rude but logically, thats the longer run of whatever we do. Newbies does npcs only to earn credits/ uri so they can bid / buy items (not to be in of hall of fame, though it may come along with it). So they can buy better equipment, defend themselves and prepare for PvP.
UFEs does cubes/ gates for getting uri/ammo for PvP and ranking comes along with it.

Now you think ice rockets are good for weak players? Yes they are, but not always. Don't forget that UFEs can use it and then kill them in secs.

Besides, there are plenty of other stuff in this game for escaping emp, cloak, dcr rocket, wheel formation, fast ships. There is no point of more.
The thing is, PvP will always be the greater aspect of this game. Most of the players play this game because of it only. And introducing stuff that alters speed is not really good. You maybe escaping today while farming but tomorrow while hunting your enemies would do the same to you.

The reason I hate ice rockets is because it ruins the PvP unless you have an army beside you to help. Already fast ships are harder to kill. Ice rockets just makes it worse. We've already seen how bad they're. [And with PvP I'm talking about fighting with other players and not hunting noobs]

It may have benefits for weak players but there are already many other items for that. Right now most servers are inactive, you suddenly can't bring people into this game and catering just 1 community/group of players won't do any good either. All updates need to be beneficial for majority.

 

Everything can be used by NOOB, UFE, and all between. I picked up in your previous post that you really just want a proper 1v1, or 2v1. Fact is there is no proper anything in the game. It is a dog eat dog orbit. You don't like the 5v1, move along. You don't like the ice rockets, fly off. Its an offensive and defensive game. DO has to keep coming out with new stuff to attract and retain players. The game thins out as players are running out of stuff to do and PVP is expensive whether you pay money or not. There is not enough seprom to support all day action. So you have to attract the attackers with a new tool every now and again, and the same goes to the prey that just want to do the pve for now.

 

Streuner rocketeer NPC:




For those who were unable to have a go at Kuiper on test2 a while back, the 'Streuner Soldier' which looks similar to this new NPC would shoot rockets as their primary way to deal damage.
So it would seem like this new NPC is part of a slight re-work, it could be that the old Soldiers have now been replaced with these Rocketeers, and that the new version of the Solider does something else, or not. Either way should spice up the waves a bit ^^.

 

Emps work on ice rockets, the game is about knowing what ammo to use and when....If I start a fight with another UFE and they drop emp, insta and SB at the start of the fight I will insta, tag em again drop my sb and smash em they try to run and ill use ice rocket or dcr which brings forth the destruction of their ship because of their poor timing.

Something people have to realize all this ammo provides you ways to get out of mess,so its on you to escape or accept destruction.

 

your only talking abotu 1 on 1 player try getting spamed by them 1 shoots you u emp then u get hit over and over by more players u cant move then boom ya dead

 

I'm following you

 

Like I clarified timing is key, wether its using ammo or cruising on a shield config till you can emp again and what I stated above is only a few things that can be done...You do what you can to survive being the biggest fundamental challenge of the game.

When your doing pvp 1v1 is few and far between so my examples are never 1v1 based, Notice I didn`t use emp yet in my above post And flying a cit ive got multiple options to avoid getting slowed soooo.Hopefully this understood.

 

A couple things I missed, there is now a new Booty Box and a new Bonus Box that have something to do with the Kuiper GG.

Booty:


Bonus:

 

Hi

I have found the animation of this bonus box and booty box in 2D ^^





here:

Code:

<file version="1" type="swf" name="streuner_bonus_box" location="graphics_collectables" id="streuner_bonus_box" hash="b2ad13c8a2327e2632b089c2ffcaf900" debugView="false"/>
<file version="1" type="swf" name="streuner_booty_box" location="graphics_collectables" id="streuner_booty_box" hash="85265aa27e93a3b9abc66f5b67c9a300" debugView="false"/>

 

What is this?

 

<file version="1" type="swf" name="streuner_bonus_box" location="graphics_collectables" id="streuner_bonus_box" hash="b2ad13c8a2327e2632b089c2ffcaf900" debugView="false"/>

█ The type of this file (like png, txt or gif)
█ The location of this file
█ The name of this file
█ ...

it's just to show I did not get the image in a candy package (to have some credibility because nobody know me here.) ^^

 

Avoid posting the links to the pages / files where that info can be found since that is against the rules of this particular thread, things like the reference you posted to the swf is fine though (I think). Just letting you know in advance to save yourself any trouble with the mods^^.

 

Yes, I just wanted to answer to his question. But with what I am giving we can not do much. I am accustomed to strict mods in the fr forum so I would not do foolishness here ^^
