The language on the lens upgrade reads:
Cyclopean Lens II
Increases attack by 2% for each 1500 decks (unbuffed - rounded up) up to a max of 16%.

Is it me, or is that a shitty way of doing it? Why isn't it 1.5% for each 1000 decks?

"Upgrades a Cyclopean Lens on your ship to a Cyclopean Lens II,
increasing its attack by 150, and boosting its ability bonus
amount by 50%"

That's very deceptive language. I think I kinda want a refund.

moves me from 5% at 4001 to 6% rather than 7% (potentialy 8 if the 7.5% rounded up.) I'd have proberly bitten if it was 2% but for 1% nah

Imo, at bare minimum it should be 'Increases attack by 1% for every 666 decks you have, rounded up' Or 'increases attack by 1.5% for every 1000 decks you have, rounded up' Or, 'increases attack by 3% for every 2000 decks you have, rounded up'
Its simply untrue to say its 50% boosted if its 2% per 1500 decks. Literaly untrue. Going from 2% from 2000 decks to 2% from 1500 decks is a decrease of 25% in the cost of the ability, 1/0.75 = 1.3333 or a increase of 33% on the previous ability. Its also untrue if it was (misleadingly) talking about the cap to the ability, since thats increased by 60%. at no point does the figure 50% feature anywhere but the description

Are you sure? Mine said "Elios Phoenix Powervault (artifact)" but after checking my cargo it was in fact the upgrade.

this works for me ! like a big golden mosquito ... a worthy ship for the #1 raider in the game ;)

remember ... you need to SUCCESSFULLY hack .. so your target needs to have research points on hand or else the spark won't be transferred.

also just fully upgraded the heatsink and then busted it on my ship ... 30 billion to repair !

Code:
Passive bonus (when fully upgraded): Whenever you fill your energy with a energy cube or Tri-Matrix Emblem, your max energy permanently increases by 2.

I mean... Its a thing... :roll:


Honestly...that's not a horrible passive ability for an artifact that's relatively easy to fully upgrade.

Thankfully won't need to constantly uninstall mine to make room for things, so only need to worry about repairing after long inactivity or somebody hitting it with an inner bypass (though it probably can't be installed w/a bypass anyway, so just the former...)

Discovered that today...at least until I get some use of my time manipulators back, guess I'll actually have a reason to use resource probes for a change... :D

Agreed but it would have been much more useful 3 or 4 years ago, the first time they showed up.

Module Size 35, 300 energy, 720 hull when fully upgraded. 11 mods needed to full upgrade - End stats in case anyone was wondering if the mod is worth upgrading

its pretty bad. Cubes and tris are like under 50% of the daily rewards. The mods ability adds less than 1 engineer per day over a long period of time. Its not very potent.

More than that its just dull. Its a adds crew per day mod in disguise rather than a more interesting passive. Maybe it could've been something like 'extends solar attractors by 1 day' or 'when using a cube or tri activates the elios mien effect on your ship' Not particularaly powerful but at least more interesting

I for one like the Sparkrunners. And the medal that goes with it. Gives a nice addition to the monkey clicking all day this first week. Kudos for an addition Dan.

like i said, the mod is already broken on my ship - i just maxed it for giggles. i did use a tri-matrix emblem after maxing it, but i didn't notice any energy or engineer change, so someone else will have to confirm whether it actually works.

the sparkrunners, on the other hand, are the best source of ctp from NPCs after rank 400 or so. so i am stockpiling for chuhn season !

My first reaction is Oh FFS quit yer whining and find something else to do with your time.

My second reaction is I'd actually appreciate seeing ANY sign of life from Dan during these 3 months even if it's just a snarky post in the forum like 'What are you losers doing still playing this dead game? Just let it go and stop sending me money already!'

The 7 year medal carried the biggest new content on the game. The 8 year was implemented on time.
Every seasonal a new item, usually upgrade of the last one, is introduced, but new npcs appear radomly on them.
As far as i know, sent tickets are getting answers. And bugs and corrections keep going (example, the last 200k ctps upgrade on the prismatic planet).

I don´t know why people say the game is dead. Trust me, i´ve seen games MUCH MORE dead than this one. ANd, by the way, what make a game dead is not the developer, but the players. For me, at least, the game will not be dead while upgrades on the prismatic keep going. It´s an insane and as many people say, not profitable, objetive, but that are mines. I always play games on max difficulty, and, even then, some are too easy.
