Gravity trampoline - is used for fast moving the fleet from point A to point B. In both points must be gravitational trampolines for making rapid movement of your fleet. However, during the movement of the fleet trampolines can not be moved, if someone attacked them and they were destroyed - the fleet rolls out of the gravitational field, and clings to the orbit of the sun coordinates of flight.

There are also restrictions on travel between the points: the maximum acceleration of the fleet – a day.
After the start of moving coordinates of point A and point B are blocked for further movements on the day, although you can always fly to the neighboring and start or accept the fleet to them. Gravity springboard -  is the flagship which can be moved through the other trampolines.

When moving through a gravitational trampoline fleet speed increases up to 100 times, and acceleration is not considered at all.
There is also a support for changing the flight speed, so you can choose what is important to you - fast, but expensive to fly, or a little slower, but cheaper.
Gravitational trampolines can be sold to other players in Bestiariy.

If you have friends and allies in the alliance who have Gravitational trampoline, you can interact with them, moving your fleet to the trampoline which was set by ally, if he allowed such interaction in the settings:



Pirate station

To build Gravity trampoline is possible only on pirate stations. The speed of trampolines is fixed and does not depend on a variety of bonuses such as paid officers, as trampolines are part of Relics fleet which is not fully understood.


At the request of the players was provided a mechanism of attack and capture of the pirate stations with more than 28 days in vacation mode (similar to the asteroids).


Medal in the development

I start counting statistics for the medal that will be given 1% to the rate and the number of fleet points, which can be moved through the gravity trampoline for each level.

Search of trampolines

By analogy with the search for the gate, we have implemented a search page for trampolines
http://xcraft.net/fleet/finder/portals/

Speed of the following units was increased:
Corsair
Reaver
Carrier
 
Specialty of Cruiser’s attack on small units was degraded by 10% from 2.5 to 2.25.


The speed of  entities was  slowed by 33%.

The basic rate of these units was increased:
Fighter from 600 to 800
Fastling from 400 to 750
Scourge from 250 to 300
Scavenger from 400 to 600
Mudkip from 600 to 1000.

Mock-ups of new windows are ready by 97%, so you need to look at them and to endorse or make suggestions on how to add / remove functionality.


The main goal is to make the game comfortable and adaptable to mobile devices. Several adapted screenshots:


Ps Pictures can be opened in a new tab, to see them in full size.

Visibility to the owner of a planet or asteroid of alien fleet flying on the coordinates of his planet or asteroid has been made under the old mechanics in mission "Occupation." Now, we have new mechanics and visibility was canceled.


The owner of a planet or asteroid no longer sees the enemy fleet flying to a planet or asteroid but to the coordinates of a planet or asteroid.
Now you can fly for recycling in advance.


Superfuel technology gives in 10 100 smaller bonus than before, and the maximum percentage of acceleration of fleet for HC set to 25% instead of 50%.

The official exchange rate of Vespen to HC increased up to 5000 Vespene for 1 HC.

Today we are announcing a new fleet mechanics of teleportation.
Portals are used for teleportation.




You are probably already familiar with them from the mission of annihilation of solar systems.
Now the construction of Portals is available to any owner of a pirate station (according to legend, pirates settled on Relict's objects and remade them into stations, they can teleport for this reason).




After the construction of portals (you need at least 2: first as a shipping point and the other as a point of reception of the fleet) they, as an ordinary fleet, should be set to different coordinates (from where and to where you want to teleport fleet). At this portal from where you want to make teleportation, should be a fleet you want to teleport. If the conditions are met (range, number of portals, the number of points of the fleet - see INFOS), a rapid movement of the fleet is possible (currently the flight lasts 6 minutes).


Mechanics is similar to the gate of Terrans or tribunal of Tosses, but still there are some differences:
1) Teleportation is not instantaneous
2) Portals can not move during the flight (in development)
3) Portals can teleport fleet only to / from coordinates (not from / to the planet and to / from the moon)
4) With the destruction of the portals on the coordinates the teleported fleet is destroyed too (in development)
5) The coordinates can be used repeatedly in a day (ie you cannot just resend)
 
At the same time we do not forget about the social component, so you can use portals together with friends and members of your alliance:



In the near future the remaining mechanics will be finalized, and the announcement will turn in to release (the information will be in the topic).

примет бой, так как является боевым юнитом.

Juggernaut received ability to recycling debris.


Percentage increase of fleet’s speed was reduced from 50% to 28% (can be changed), hydarian consumption for percentage increase was increased by 20%.

New values of rates were installed for most units, almost all increased, including Deathstars and Supernova Stars.


Fuel costs of Dredlisks were Increased by 2.


Attack range "Plague" of Defiler was increased from 520 to 660.

Tomorrow (July 29, 2016) at 05:00 server time, we plan technical works directed on updating the version of the database server.


All missions will be stopped during that time. The game and the forum will not be available too. 


Estimated duration of technical works is about 2 hours.


Your fleet, who will arrive on a mission at this time, will be processed with a delay, so please do not plan serious actions at that time, the more, battles that will require personal involvement.


With fleets in saves, as well as those who at that time will arrive on a mission, nothing will happen.


We apologize for any inconvenience.

The production of Metal mine was reduced.
The production of mineral mine and vespene refinery was increased.

Speed of small cargo, large cargo, bomber, courier, overlord, recycler provider was reduced.

Flight time is reduced by more than 300% to the similar coordinates, for example from planet to the moon of this planet, to the coordinates of this planet, from the coordinates to the moon or to the planet, and so on.


 

Attention! Flight time from passing entity is also reduced!


To avoid confusion, plz update your browser cache: then the normal time will be considered at the spaceport.

 

We increased speed of the following units:
guardian 250
queen speed 150
mutalisk speed 250
defiler speed 200
broodling speed of 2000
leviathan speed 50

In the near future the flight speed to the same coordinates, such as from moon to the planet will be increased dramatically.

We increase the speed of following units:
Viking doubled
Fighter up to 600
Scavenger, Fastling, Mudkip up to 500
Destroyer from 90 to 100
Bomber doubled: from 100/150 to 200/300.


After recalculation, speed of the other units will be updated accordingly.

The formula for calculating warm-up time was changed from
500 / root of speed
to 1000 / root of speed. 
This will lead to increasing of warm-up time for all units in 2 times.
It made for controlling instant attacks. 
Also we plan to increase the speed of units to accelerate flights over long distances. 

Speed of deathstar and supernova star was reduced by 1.

Speed of space wanderer was increased by 15.

Works have been completed successfully

Tomorrow (July 15, 2016) at 05:00 server time, we plan technical works with the raid arrays of the primary server.

All missions will be stopped during that time (~40 minutes). The game and the forum will not be available too.  

Estimated duration of technical works is about 2 hours.

Your fleet, who will arrive on a mission at this time, will be processed with a delay, so please do not plan serious actions at that time, the more, battles that will require personal involvement.

With fleets in saves, as well as those who at that time will arrive on a mission, nothing will happen.  

We apologize for any inconvenience.

UPD: duration of technical works was changed

The new Medal "Keymaker"


We have added a new tiered medal "Keymaker", which increases the storage time of someone else's key (now 3 days), adding 30 minutes per level.
To ‘trick out’ the medal you need to steal capital keys from stronger players.


Skin in the development


For interface "adaptive" (former "modern")  new skin is developing.
The promised golden sandy skin for tosses and dark red for xerjs will be ready later.


PC-version (large screen, a lot of space):


Tablet-version (small screen, small space):


Mobile-version (very small screen and there is no place):


Please note that the skin is still in development, so the final version may vary.

Plz, use mission attack.

Recently, we have added Personal records, which consider your personal statistics, as well as retains your personal records for the destroyed   buildings, fleet and defense. Statistics were gathered during the last several days.




The same battles are indicates with the same colors.


Medal


Also the  medal "Planet rider" was added. It has many levels:




Description and your current progress can be seen on the Awards page.
Statistics were started counting today.
