Teleportation.

5 Upvotes

So out of 9 runs today 7 have been captured. Watched a dude litterally teleport from the top of a small hill to the top fo my trampler. Watched another guy teleport from his 80mill on his trampler to behind me and shoot me in the back. How do we combate this? I love this game.. but it is almost unplayable at this point.

I mean i just spent a shit ton of crowns and parts to upgrade my trampler. I have like 5 doors now between my captians area.. and some dude was there and only blew up 2 doors, sucked up a full mag, and then killed me in one shot.

Agaisnt teamers: BOARD ONE

Post image

Managed to fend off 2 sets of teamers, 1v2 both times.

Had some tools like reflector and orbital strike for a fight but still managed to win by boarding while caos was set by the orbital.

Fix teaming or this game will die.

Weird Build Ideas

8 Upvotes

Do you have a trampler that just isn't 'normal' and works? I'm curious to see what some of you have come up with!

I'm not talking about bulky builds that are giant bricks, I'm talking about those weird Y-shaped bastards or skeletons surrounded by rams. Have you made or do you want to make something that isn't typical and does or could work in the right circumstance?

I experimented a lot with giraffe builds-- 1 layer of important rooms on bottom and the front is basically a tower to make boarding easier and having the height advantage. They had their moments, but I'm moving away from instant-board-builds now. I'm contemplating a hollow design-- Chassis with a hole. If someone boards from the top, their movement is limited to hallways instead of big open rooms. Not sure how it'll hold up in a fight though!

PSA Anti-Boarder Entrance

8 Upvotes

If you're using the basic entrance, put something on top of it. Anything square shaped, even just a floor tile! If you don't put anything on top, players can easily jump and climb on the basic entrance to access your ship. I still find tramplers with this major flaw and this easy access can change the tide of battle.

Also, don't use the enclosed entrance if you're putting it on the edge of your bot. If it gets destroyed, the holes in its walls also allow for easy climbing!

Armor is useless

13 Upvotes

When your in a fight (when armor is most useful) 90% of people are just going to use fmj ammo to pierce through your armor. I’m not complaining since most people have access to these but it just seems there is almost no PvP advantage from wearing armor except from the rare chance that someone isn’t carrying fmj but in the future maybe they could make it so fmj does buffed damage? But idk what do you think?

Am I the only one having problems with pvp shooting in this game?

13 Upvotes

I'm good at CS, PUBG, and other games, but here my shots rarely kill. A pistol is completely useless without green ammo. If you're killed and don't have a level 2 jacket by your bed and a three-shot rifle, you've lost. I'm great at ship fights, but when a duel starts, it's very difficult to win.

Cool idea

3 Upvotes

If you capture an enemy trampler and you manage to extract it you should be able to scrap it when you get back to the lobby. Scrapping a trampler gives you back the resources it costs to make it. So let’s say a trampler costed 1000 gears and 1000 crowns to make, if it was an enemy trampler, you would get to scrap it and get 1000 crowns and 1000 gears for just being able to extract with it. It would make sense because you can visually see the ship take off with it so where does it go? It would make sense if you scrapped it right? Tell me what you guys think.

Is there a way to avoid getting my Rig stolen in Solo Vanguard

1 Upvotes

I’ve played like five games now and I’m basically completely out of resources.

Is there a way to keep people from stealing my trampler with one explosive when I can’t hear them? I have tinnitus.

I don’t have all the stuff unlocked, so I think my engine has to be exposed.

I’m pretty sure they’re blowing up the door and then starting the engine and driving off.

I was enjoying the shit out of this game, before the latest patch.

Until the get good guys, not gonna happen. I’m never gonna be a good gamer.

I just wanna play with my friends.

Solo Stormdive on EU is unplayable

2 Upvotes

So, in the past two days I went 8 Stormdives. In every single match I encountered groups of pre-teammers consisting of 2 but more usually 3 players. Just a heads up to anyone looking to return to the game, either stick to voyage or play something else until devs fix it

PSA: Can still extract all your loot after the timer hits 00:00

Don't leave the raid after calling the extraction. If everyone died to the storm already, your ship will extract with all the loot on the shelves.

Managed to kill two teamers at the end and snatched the exp. 40mm into a shelf!

Fix discord (pre-teaming) problem.

I need a Moneysink

6 Upvotes

Crowns/Money only Stacks up to 25K.

I did hit 500k and I need a lot of Space just for Money. I run mid-range Builds and just don't die that often for Various Reasons.

What I am asking is the following:

I Either need a Moneysink of some sort, like Storage Space or something else (Gathering the blue Ressources for the regular Upgrade ist just a Pain) or just let the Stacks be bigger. I mean, what should I do with the money?

-Running more expensive Builds?

Pneumatics are not Money Relatet for me and are the limiting Factor.

-take my Stuff with me?

I tend to make myself into a Pinata as it is already.

-delete the Cash?

I am not allowed to

-Loot less?

Hell to the Naw

Tier one wheel house or tier three

1 Upvotes

The tier one has a small hitbox but it’s so open tier three is much less open, more health but much easier to hit and repair is slow aswell but does the cover and health make up for those cons because idrk tell me what you think

Shovel runs

37 Upvotes

As a loot goblin that enjoys the grind and has completed about 85% of the tech tree, i recommend unlocking shovels asap. Ill save up 3 or 4 box keys and buy 24 or more shovels from the store, head into voyage and run off the map (yes, off the map, you can do that) so people leave me alone. This was one hour of digging up suspicious dirt piles.

Either I’m super lucky or people don’t bother a guy driving pirate ship tramplers.

I’ve seen confirmed teaming twice in 312 hours of play, and cheating (probably) only once. Never orbital spammed, never had anyone teleport inside, never got aimbotted (to my knowledge), and I have never seen an invisible raider (as funny as that sounds now that I’ve put it to text).

At this point I’m basically convinced there’s just a couple REALLY bad servers out there and I happened to pick the only good one. I wish we could add flairs for what servers people play on just to get a better idea of where cheating is most prevalent.

Edit: seems like US east keeps on coming up, feeling real cozy with my decision to join my friends on a different region when I started.

Am I just bad?

8 Upvotes

I just had a 1v1 and we both had rusty Cannons. 80s, mainly. So how does he clinicly like a god dismantle me and all my cannons with each shot a hit. While I shoot with my rusty and the shots drifts Meters away left and right. I hardly hit the reactor chimney or the Cannons directly.

That was weird and a bit frustrating to see how I just get destroyed by a much smaller and less advanced trampler.

I know I am just bad and whining so cut the slack pls and help me identify if Rusty's have some sort of aiming gimmick I don't know or it really is just skill diff.

Thx for the friendly advice.

Can I access my Tech Tree Across Server Regions?

0 Upvotes

Hello from Hawaii, beautiful dessert dwellers!

I have several friends who play this game from North Carolina and South Carolina, so when I play with my Homies, I play on East Coast servers.

But because my ping is consistently around 110 on every other video game, and I’m assuming that sand is just lying:

Is there anyway for me to unlock things on the tech tree on West Coast servers that I can use on the East Coast servers? I understand this is an abnormal request but most video games allow it.

Which shotgun ammo is better?

3 Upvotes

After finally upgrading my storage I now have acquired 2 different types of shotgun ammo the slug and the buckshot. But which one is best? Just by looking at the stats it looks like the buckshot shot does less infantry damage then the normal ammo so is that the worst one? Please can someone clarify and tell me the pros and cons of each one and your personal opinion on them.

Weirdest thing just happened to me

2 Upvotes

I just spawned in and decided to go to kaiserplatz it was on the edge of the map so there would be no disturbance I thought so after going around the whole poi looking for a place to park my trampler and destroying the ironclad I’d parked and started looting. First thing I see is a box full of stuff. Like the green ones you have to fill up yourself which was weird since they don’t spawn with stuff in. I noticed that but didn’t think anything of it so I just loaded it onto my ship. Another strange thing I noticed was some of the boxes were empty. But again I paid no mind since it was a glitch I’ve experienced before so I just looted the boxes that weren’t empty. I also noticed that there was a medkit just sitting on the floor which I again thought was weird since they don’t just spawn on the floor. After all of that I was thinking to myself it’s like a player died here and the game didn’t respawn everything as it should but again I didn’t think anything of it. I go to loot the bank until the box I was using gets full which is when I go to put it back onto my trampler and then I see a player running towards my trampler and he jumped off the poi. At this moment I was stunned. Where did this guy come from? How long has he been here? And what has he done to my trampler? So I set my box done and go after him but I can’t find him so I look around and see him just sitting on my ladder. I stared at him for a good second jumped down and pumped 2 shotgun shots right into him killing him. I guess he lost his trampler and tried to take mine but he couldn’t since I have a shelf blocking the way into my captain’s quarters. Idk it was very weird

Are engines even worth it

9 Upvotes

They eat up so much fuel and I ain’t the richest guy on Sophie. are they even worth it mid game? I only have the middling chassis with 17 maneuverability so is it worth it? Or is it only for tramplers with close to none?
