Infinite Lagrange | Game Changing Buffs and Nerfs on the pilot server 

If they push sweeping ship changes like this live, they absolutely must give tech restoration kits out for free.

There are two big problems with this test environment. ・One of those problems is the nerf of a powerful destroyer. ・The other problem is that the CP of the corvette mothership has increased. The latter issue is that due to the relatively increased CP efficiency of aircraft carriers as carriers for corvettes and fighters, it is expected that builds that use CVs and Cruxes in the main fleet and whales as reinforcements will become dominant. This can be a factor that excludes complete beginners and casual players from the game. And the element of nerfing of the best destroyers and frigates means that beginners and casual gamers have even less of a way to compete against seasoned players. I understand that the developers are probably concerned about the power of the combination of Auxiliary ships and corvettes in airstrike tactics. Destroyers and frigates certainly made many cruisers useless. I also understand that. I am not opposed to strengthening cruisers. However, in order for beginners and casual gamers to stand up to more experienced players, destroyers and frigates need to be able to compete to some degree against fully enhanced super capital ships. The issue with Corvette airstrikes should be resolved by changing the way airstrikes work or by changing the way Auxiliary Ships work. Developers and veteran players should not bother newbies and casual gamers with this issue.

The Taurus nerf is HEARTBREAKING! I dont have alot of ships, i have 0 bombers but i have the CV3K and Whale, but the Taurus was always my bread and butter ship. I just got the Eris HC full bp last season so my dmg fleet just got a massive include but not my Taurus! Ugh!

loving the io changes as I've been unlucky with the variants, these videos are great, please keep them coming :)

If SW was around 80 CP, then it would've kinda made sense. You can only run 3 of them without Field Command Center, and you can only run all 5 until the Field Command Center is fully upgraded. So these mega swarm fleet would only appear after mid-server where people have fully upgraded the Field Command Center. CV3k could sit around 65 CP. That's what they could do to prevent whales from having too much strength relatively early on in the server, crushing relatively weaker orgs into being unable to develop their bases at all and have to surrender very early on.

I kind of appreciate the carrier CP increases. I think NE has accidentally(?) made aircraft too powerful, _at least_ as long as AA performs in its typical, strange way of not actually being AA. It's as if they've modelled the aircraft-AA relationship on the US invasion of Iraq.

The IO change is not overtune, due to the main weapon mechanism (immeditely reload after a miss), it got heavilly countered by evasion ships like Eris and Carilion Evasion. It takes 8 IO 7 mins to go through 10 carilion but it only takes Chimera 3 mins. We have also tested in Pilot server that 8 maxed IO can barelly win against 8 maxed Chimeras. IO is a major counter to the current CAS Spear meta but can definitely be countered.

I like most of these changes. The full gold swarm fleets were successfully 1v4 mixed level fleets. It felt like there is no counter without paying heavily to fully upgrade some Cv3k or solar whales. My full AA gold fleets still melted immediately.

The Solar Whale CP nerf doesnt affect fleets but its worth noting that it does affect port capacity. So if anything we should see 5 SW reinforce fleets comint into the phase later than usual.

I feel like too many people complained about cloud dwellers. This completely nerfs those in the clouds that have to rely on dessie carriers to field any air to stand up to the whales in their server. Im a whale, but i still love the versatility and speed of my dessie fleets. This pretty much forces everyone to stay out of clouds and only play cruiser+ which still benefits whales as those that spend more money still likely have more tp in their ships that matter rather than a f2p that probably has v2 destroyers. I think they should leave all CP costs alone, and just buff cruisers and up to make the wallet warriors happy.

Ive gotten my it up to 32k anti ship with everything maxed..love my ioz

Oh, also I'm pretty sure they buffed Calisto B, they reduced the cooldown of the weapon from 28 to 20, got around 25% base damage increase.

If the Changes in the test server goes to the live server, it means fleet composition early on will change with less ships as its higher cost. Untill you Invest in the Base upgrade to have more CP, which I never used as I use base CPx2 in my Fleet comps.

Eris and Taurus is also not the same, the reason that we normally see Eris and Taurus dealing the same amount of damage is because we have alwasy been using destoryer frontlines. It is clear that they have nerfed all energy weapon in Destoryer/Frigate so you can't build an effective Frigate/Destoryer line up against cruiser frontline now.

sounds cool. aldabra is the way to go now. overall will be interesting to see how fleets will change. I suppose now it will be minimal vettes and max fighters. perhaps we will see something but mistrals

absolute popcorn

Between all the various CP nerfs, I wonder what effect it will have on port space. Might also throttle production number early on.

nice 😂

Ouch on the cp increases. Even with them being reinforcement, its going to gimp your max fleet

I wondered why my Callistos were suddenoly hitting 25k in the test server lol! Thought I built them wrong 😂

Taurus does pure Energy Damage and there aren't many ships that have high energy resistance under Cruiser classes. Like yeah there's the Aldabra in Data servers, it gets the Exclusive tech that raises it's energy resistance by 20% Seems to me they're going to try and push people to use Larger ships now. Callisto went from 32s Cooldown all the way down to 24s Cv3k and Crux were both always 40 CP. Hopefully Cv3k gets raised a little since it has the extra Corvette dock bringing it up to 6 Corvettes. At least a +5 CP cost.

Whale change is a nerf to Angulum

Now I usuallly don't like damage increases but for the Io I am actually glad, it came from mediocre damage to the best for cruisers. For it being front row and with much less hp than then other damage dealers like callisto or hc chimera with around 120k hp at max while it has 88k they are actually right to give it tons of damage potential. Cc b though no, back row, same evasion as Io, more hp I think around 120k too but less armor and energy resistance. Even with its hit rate problem agaist small this thing will do just a little less damage than Io against big. Also es should get a buff for its main ion cannon, Io outdamages it.

Lol these are some radical changes 😅 I actually don't mind too much because it shows the devs are really thinking deeply about what they want this game to be. Bear in mind that DPM doesn't always translate of course. And so long as some of the most extreme moves are unwound a little bit, I think I'll be quite comfortable. Plus the CP nerfs are great imo. Anything that levels is good.

I think the massive damage buffs are to go against immortals, did the chimera get any changes?

Funny with the Jaeger name. I thought it was from the German word for 'hunter': 'Jäger'. If you write it out so English speakers can pronounce it, you would spell 'Jaeger'

They gave the Ios 2 more damage ticks per shot, and the callisto had a duration and cooldown reduction of 25%, seeing as you were unsure

Did any other hidden stat get changed? Like base hitrate or evasion?

Ouch some of these nerfs are going to hurt but at least the Eternal got some love, it was a glass cannon that lacked the cannon for the longest time.

Yay

maybe i'll play again. miss my guys

Vettes will suffer a lot too

Is there a change log to see all the changes?

With Taurus, Heavy Cannon Eris, Ruby Io nerfs, hard io and chaos buffs… Carilion Special might make a big comeback?

Interesting that Jaeger is now 22 CP and AC721 is 12 CP. It used to be the case that Jaeger was 4.5 cp/corv, while AC721 is 4 cp/corv. So there was some CP cost effectiveness difference in having that extra buffing ability of Jaeger over AC721. Now this is reversed. It would be 5.5 cp/corv in Jaeger and 6 cp/corv in AC721. That means there's absolutely zero reason to use AC721 over Jaeger.

Taurus 12 cp, io 18… Sure-trow it away:( Just some random buffs/nerfs puts on table!

We definitely need free reset of tp

I tried to download it 1.9 GB, but can't log in, is it a bug?

22:42 CV3K is always 40cp

12:35 Minecraft

Es simple, ahora se obsesionaron que usemos la sub flota y las naves auxiliares 😂. Si 🤔 tienes alguien que te muestre la mejora en la tormenta eterna 😀 te lo agradecería mucho, la abandone por el Constantino y me a resultado rentable pero estaria bueno ver alguna referencia.

Cv3k was 40

I quit the game awhile back. Occasionally been thinking about maybe giving it another try. But with these CP increases? Nah lol. I really don't like a lot of the updates they've been pushing.

frigates are not supposed to be as much cp as a destroyer

Quaoar not getting nerfed? mkay Also, not the first time, but Light Cone does not have MineCraft system. 12:35

What if reinforce would have some cap at CP like only 110 or 120 CP for reinforce, like you could place 5 cruisers but only 2 at max solar whales, it will be some healthy nerf to reinforce meta

My guess? Too many ships in each server and it's slowing down the game. This nerf was designed to deal with that. Higher CP = smaller fleets = less ships. Everything else is just collateral damage.

am in ythe server let me know if you need to pummel something

If they put out a sarvey for pilot server, i hope everybody marks extremely dissatisfied because of the cp increase of any ship. It was nearly perfect 😢

Is this confirmed?

As a F2P this just makes me leave the game and play Candy Crush

very bad updated on increasing the CP costs of the popular ships

It's not okay for free player to make such big changes... it take 10 phases to be able to use a ship minimum and they change the whole meta like it was nothing...

I HATE the CP increases. Probably will leave the game then.

Horrible changes for the most part. The cruiser buffs with the IO and Cona will be something i will be watching closely. Just not sure what the bloody heck the devs are trying to do here. What's their end game.

This game is going downhill 😒 nothing to favor younger players 😒only good thing was base io

Worst update ever
