Prepare for the battle

NextColony

The last few weeks have been a pretty wild ride. It was exhausting but also a great pleasure for the whole NextColony team. We thank all settlers for loyalty, a lot of input, and for exploring new planets to preparing for battle.

The final tests on the battle module have been completed and we are ready for the launch. The launch of the battle module is imminent.

Battle starts on
June 8, 2019 20:00:00 UTC

Until now the universe was quite a peaceful place and all the settlers have upgraded buildings, enhanced skills and prepared for battle. But now we give you powerful battleships, how will you deal with it? Will you suppress or protect your environment? You have the choice.

That's new:

  • Missions: attack/support
  • Improved mission overview & battle reports
  • 7 new battleships (rocket; free)
  • 7 new battleships (bullet; buy)
  • 9 new skills
  • Building: shield generator
  • New graphics for explorer and transporter
  • Revised FAQ

We have also solved a number of minor bugs and problems with the update.

That's what we're gonna do next:

  • A series of updates for battle
  • Explorer II: long range exploration
  • Explorer III: deep exploration
  • Distributing blueprints across the galaxy
  • Transporter II & III
  • Building: research center
  • Market (planets/items)

As soon as the battle module runs smoothly, we will announce the date for the launch of the market.

We would also like to thank @rafalski for the work on NextColony Stats and @scriptioner for the work on SpyColony.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Join the official Discord server now.

Resteem to the moon.

Stay tuned.

It's been a pretty slow grind thus far... the calm before the storm?!

Thunder and Lightning?! I hope I don't get soaked!

Hello guys can you please assist me in some way in order to resolve an issue I have while trying to enhance skills or buildings.Namely, I can't enhance anything regardless of the browser or device I'm using... Did you had complaints about it or?
Thanks :)

I had the same problem. Only Chrome in my Desktop Computer works. Chrome on my mobile phone or the Brave Browser on my Desktop didn't.

So you're meeting the set date for this expansion. Great!

What I would like to see is a in-depth declaration of the battle mechanics to allow for a detailed planning.

That was a huge challenge, yeah. Thanks, @sco! :)

I think it's a good idea if we don't give too much informations and give you the chance to find out. But the revised FAQ is quite extensive now.

The battle module is definitely another step in the right direction. But we still have a lot of work to do.

I already have been. All of the ship skill requirements seem to be lvl 20 for building. How does that make sense? I have been grinding for weeks and cant build anything.

They are making it easy for their pay to play players to farm free players. That is all. Tis ok though because I am now testing the shield. There is no bashing rule either. Seems to me this game won't live long. Good thing I found steemnova

Cool, let's how things unflod from now on. I think that balancing will be of paramount importance since there are a few super lucky players with several planets out there.

You're already achieving one of the hardest goals which is delivering at the committed deadlines. Steem would be at least 10$ worth if Steemit Inc have ever complied with their self stabilised deadlines. You and your team have my respect for that.

What is it Commander?! What's happening?!

Space exploration games never make it, because the idea sounds fun, but it actually becomes boring and lonely pretty quick. What makes people come together and form clans is the pvp feature, there is always good against evil :D
Make it competitive and you will draw lots of players.

I'll make sure to attack it and prove to you this game is pay to win and thus no run for anyone to play but a few whales who might wanna have a dick measuring contest.... I wish this game wasn't hyped so much it is NOT going to be fun... drugwars was not fun... these games COULD be fun... but they are pay to play without a reason... pay to play CAN work if your game was actually fun and 3d and used @dlux-io which can help u build stuff 3d in https://glitch.me

Spannend, spannend, spannend.
Ich hoffe nur, die Kämpfe gehen nicht so bald los ... Schiffe aufleveln macht grad Spaß, aber ich hab ja noch keine physischen Schiffe fertig und fühl mich angreifbar.

Edit: habe gerade die Cookies Eurer Seite gelöscht, weil ich nicht den Eindruck hatte, die FAQ enthalte neue Informationen. Dann wieder eingeloggt und es hat sich nichts geändert. Keine Infos zu Battles oder neuen Missionen oder was weiß ich ... :)
Hätte ich auch die Steemconnect-Cookies löschen müssen?

I find it very counter productive that we need ship skills to max level in order to build something.

I also had to ask around when and how to build them because of it since there is not much of a manual/guide or tutorial.. 😕

It only said upgrade your shipyard to lvl 13 (which is weird in itself to build the most basic of ships) and not max level in each and every ship too, that was pretty disappointing to find out.

Anyway hope you guys keep updating this game because it has potential.

I've been slowly building my stuff. I'm actually very happy with the current developments and I'm glad to be a par from the beginning. I feel so much better that I had built my bunker already.

Thank you for all your hard work :)

Stellar is also a payment technology that aims to connect financial institutions and drastically reduce the cost and time required for cross-border transfers. In fact, both payment networks used the same protocol initially.

Very nice especially the overview of the galaxy map. Thus the statistics provide some analytics of what most are doing,as we could see the top right corner, missions of exploration into the void .

Good job alienating free casual players. This game has terrible balance. There are no planetary defenses and no instructions on required skills for ship building. How do you expect people to defend themselves? Let alone be competitive.

Hi
Ich schätze Euer Projekt sehr und war über die Auktionen der besonderen Planeten auch sehr erfreut. Ihr habt damit gezeigt, dass es möglich ist, auf Steem gute Projekte zu finanzieren ohne dass man dabei sich maßlos am "Belohnungs-Pool" bedient.
Ich habe nichts gegen gekaufte Votes und bin aber auch der Meinung, dass man da immer ein gewisses Maß einhalten sollte.
Für mich ist dieses Maß mit gekauften Votes in Höhe von über $200 mehr als überschritten.

Bildschirmfoto_2019-06-11_18-18-01.png
Ich bitte Euch mal ein wenig über ein solches Verhalten nachzudenken und hoffe sehr, dass Ihr andere Wege findet um Nexcolony zu einen erfolgreichen und fairen Projekt zu machen.

Ich wünsche Euch alles gute
Ingo

Das ist Teil des Spiels hier auf steemit. Das ist übrigens ein Minusgeschäft. Wir kaufen Reichweite. Wir benötigen die Reichweite insbesondere im ersten Jahr. Da werden wir keinen Konsens finden, Ingo.
