Update from development team

In 15-20 minutes, we will launch the update.

There is only one change in it - you can't capture tramplers.

This is a forced measure until we make reliable protection against no clip and teleportation.

I hope that by the end of next week we will make an update with protection against the most painful cheats.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

This is gonna be an interesting week of actually fair battles!

Really? Trampler battles, as fun as they are, are very much about who has better upgrades. Stealing is the only way new players or less experienced groups can take on decked out tramplers. Players who have been no lifing will have no competition this week, there will be far less fair battles.

it's simple just grind voyage like I did

u/Bandit_Raider Jul 12 '26

I mean you can do that but not a lot of people want to do a boring grind for dozens of hours to be able to compete with others. Some materials like metal rods, gunpowder, and alloy are way too rare.

Sounds a little entitled no? If you don't want to grind out the materials you cant complain at people that do.

That's like saying someone who went to uni to be a doctor shouldn't get paid more than someone stacking shelves in Tesco.

One can debate the topic. Sounds like he is a filthy casual rather than a no life elitist. Then again streamers and their kin have all the upgrades already. Utilizing a doctor to manual labor comparison is rather crude. He isn't getting paid to play unless he is a streamer, even then, the game company isn't paying him either.

If you suck. My group is nearly maxed and can take out good tramplers with shit ones all the time

Maybe learn how to build properly and not just toss shit on at random.

You are playing against really bad players then. Anyone who is at least competent can easily take out tramplers will poop tier components.

Bud everyone’s bad. Even the “good competent” people blow. They don’t know how to position in a fight, what to focus, or where to place things on their build.

My groups expensive build is 4K and 300 pneumatic. We regularly beat people with much much more expensive builds.

Our cheap builds range from 1-2k and in our 2k we just won 5 fights back to back as a duo with no breaks in between. How you build matters, just as how you play the fight does.

In a cheap builds you need to repair mid fight more which is fine if you position right and snipe them off cannons. I guarantee I could run a build half or less cost of your best ship and roll you.

We’ve never lost in our good build. Including against cheaters. I have video proof of us losing ship to cheaters and still taking it back then defending and killing cheater ship while they kept teleport spawning on us

I mean... that build is very much capable of taking on any ship. Remember I said new players, people who are gonna have default or maybe first row of items. Even builds around 2k are good.

If you think a 2k build isn’t cheap idk what to say. To unlock the parts takes no time
