12/12/2017 Topic: SSL Please Wreith42	For what it's worth, I agree that this should be done relatively soon. I'm not saying it will prevent me from becoming a supporter soon (yay paypal), but it is disconcerting that something so basic for any site handling money in any way hasn't been done.
12/14/2017 Topic: Corp Jingle Wreith42	Not sure if an attempt has been made to address this yet, but I have this problem as well
12/18/2017 Topic: Unit Description Typos Wreith42	Not really a bug, and I don't know if you intend to correct things like this at this point in the game's life, so if you want to stop this thread, let me know. I've noticed a few I haven't bothered to report, but i think I'm going to start. So first Warpgate description Orbital Megastructure. Allows ships to boost there movement speed 1x-100x faster for one movement destination as a cost should be "their" movement speed and "at" a cost.
12/20/2017 Topic: Specific Comm Channels Wreith42	I tried to send a message only to the city of Chicago. The Channel indicator seems to say that I was successful, but apparently nynoxaff got a notification and was able to view the message. I thought maybe he had a transport or something in Chicago on the turn I sent the message, but he doesn't have any units on Earth.
1/11/2018 Topic: Rulership titles idea Wreith42	Out of curiosity, would it be possible for the ruler income to go to a separate pool? perhaps tied to the position rather than the corporation. Those funds could be controlled by the ruler and: taken for themselves given as wages to those given the suggested titles used to purchase no-upkeep, location-only defenses used to "sell" resources to the city rather than/in addition to using personal funds.in order to manage demand. This could also lead to cities being able to accept sell contracts though it might force the seller to deliver. I feel like this would necessitate a different boost for the ruler than just monetary (which really isn't that much at city level anyway) It would also make leadership transitions more interesting given the instant gain/loss of a potentially large pool of resources. And as I type I realize you would need to freeze funds or at least prevent them being being taken by the current ruler during an election lol
1/24/2018 Topic: Alert Beacon Wreith42	I think it would be nice to have some sort of structure that could be built anywhere, including open space, that would send a comm to the owner if someone entered the structure's range. This would probably be easier to implement if the other idea to have Ally and Enemy lists was implemented first. This could be another application of that besides auto attacking.
2/13/2018 Topic: Kaiju 9 Monster Wreith42	Metoneca, I don't know if you got a more helpful answer somewhere else, and you can get most of this by looking at the event and battle reports, but: The Kaiju types are listed at the very bottom of the combat section of the guide. They attack as armored, battlesuit, or fighter units (with their strengths and weaknesses) depending on the type. I believe the levels are the same as our units, so a Kaiju lvl 9 has a 87 multiplier to it's values. What units you would need to have to be useful depends on the monster type as mentioned. All the strengths/weaknesses can be found in the combat charts in the guide. Additionally the monsters are allergic to a particular resource. If they enter a space with that resource, they will take damage based on the amount of the material present. Finally, the Kaiju automatically attacks any location in enters, so if you set your units to Guard Location at a point in the monsters's path, you will engage it when it arrives. You receive a monetary reward based on the amount you are able to contribute to the battle. Unless the monster is vastly overwhelmed, it's usually not worth it to participate just to try and get the reward.
2/13/2018 Topic: Alert Beacon Wreith42	That would be great. This would also help with the problem people are having about not noticing raiders in the area.
2/13/2018 Topic: Production Changes Not Sticking Wreith42	I've had this as well, and it does seem to happen more often on my phone which would support Zilch's theory of the order not hitting the server.

2/15/2018 Topic: Kaiju 9 Monster Wreith42	Essentially, yes. In a Kaiju battle we are the defenders. It will attack anything at its location every turn.
2/16/2018 Topic: Kaiju 9 Monster Wreith42	With attack orders, that IS how it works. All corporations that intend to attack together have to set the exact same orders or individual battles will be created. Maybe it only applies to the attacker. I thought It applied both ways. But the Kaiju is for sure attacking location, so I guess everyone defends together regardless of the specific order.

2/20/2018 Topic: Shipyards Wreith42	You should be able to pick up products anywhere. You don't have to have a shipyard at every location you pickup from. Shipyards are not worth much on defense. Military bases are better, but still not worth as much as other ground defenses. Ships and Military Units are best simply because they can be used other places. So yeah, it's not worth having a shipyard anywhere but where you intend to build ships.
3/8/2018 Topic: Transfer Cargo Refinement Wreith42	I don't know how the products are defined in the code, but would it be at all possible to have additional options in the Transfer Cargo command to select by Tiers. like. Transfer Cargo > End Products > All Products would get whichever Tier 3 product had the highest quantity at the location. (as opposed to the highest quantity over all which is almost universally raw material) I feel like this might be a relatively simple change that wold help with the micromanagement currently required.

3/26/2018 Topic: Violation by Sore Cogs & Dragons Gear Wreith42	This was clearly a violation of the alt rules as they are written. Units and funds were moved to an alt with the express purpose of attacking someone. The roleplay was taken poorly because it was done poorly. Trying to excuse an unprovoked attack after the fact with an overused RP theme is in poor taste. Cogs just came off as a jerk who didn't want to take responsibility and risk his main assets. Haedus Disciple, Safehold, and Light of Hypocrisy are doing it right. The roleplay began before any attacks. That allows it to be entertaining for everyone and not just the one blowing other peoples stuff up. I have no problem with alts in general and wouldn't have a problem with this one if there had been any hint of the RP before the attack and if there had been any attempt to make the alt legitimate with industry instead of just a vehicle for attacking people (and that only because that's what the rules say)
4/4/2018 Topic: Kaiju Upgrade Wreith42	I feel like they seem weak because the damage types they do are more geared toward ground combat and we use ships to respond. Maybe change Grisgaru to attack like a Varitek. And somehow increase its speed at reaching its target city so the ground damage it does is more of a threat. Either decrease spawn radius from the target or don't have the 3 turns at starting location. Could also increase movement speed, but I feel like that would be less well received. Another option would be to give a range from a coordinate instead of the actual spawn location. Like within 3 spaces of 12:12
4/4/2018 Topic: Kaiju Upgrade Wreith42	Resources haven't been used on the ones spawning in Sirius as yet. The last big one to spawn on earth was primarily damaged by resources, but that was because it actually spawned in a city where they were stored. It wasn't intentional. I think The combined fleets that normally respond to events would have handled it without the resources. Changing the flying Kaiju as described might alleviate this somewhat, yes.
4/11/2018 Topic: Generic Contracts Wreith42	It seems you can create a contract that allows selling any product. If you create a contract like normal, choose a product, set quantity, price & location, and then go back and remove the product specifications, you can create a usable contract and can deliver any product. I created contract 9832 as an example. You'll end up with a blank row in the Transfer Cargo > Use Contract list. (attached image) You can set the transfer order to any product before checking "Use Contract" and that will be the product sold. Incidentally, this can also count as a feature request. Being able to sell multiple products with a single contract would be quite useful, but it should probably be documented properly in some fashion lol edited by Wreith42 on 4/11/2018
