    Persistent character xp, as far as I can tell, is only accessible out of game, maybe even at game end and just determines which ships you have access to start the game with. There is no actual character levels or experience system in-game.

    As far as starting weapon loadout, so far the simplest plan seems to be loading one physical gun and one energy gun so as to get the best of both hull and shield busting properties.

    I confirm the black bars on the iphone 6. Also I canĀ“t scroll down the map on iPad Air, nor iPad 3 Retina.
    The game already hanged several times and I lost all my progress, anyway I think Harbinger is AWESOME, indeed, terrific potential! It just need a bit of polishing.


    Some wishes:
    It would be nice to be able see detailed carrier configuration (kind and amount of slots) prior to buy.
    Also I wonder if same weapons has exactly the same specs, or there are "rare" weapons with boosted properties? If not, they should ;)

    Looking forward for the update. Keep the great work!

    There are "rare" weapons. A Trolgar Gattling, for example, might have wildly different stats for shield penetration, hull damage, etc., even compared to another Trolgar Gattling. I found a rocket launcher with the same name and about 75% better stats. Some weapons you find are pre-upgraded as well.

    Looking forward to the update. Whenever I manage to obliterate the galaxy (on easy) and level up to 3 or 4, the next time I load up I'm back on level 2. Going to try for a win then start a new game immediately (instead of exiting) to see if it'll keep my save. Hope so cause I'd like to hire some of those new ships that unlock.

    This is a nice game. I'v passed the easy mode but suddenly the game crashed and the moment I restarted the app, I lost all my date. Before that I was like lv7 or lv8, but now I'm level 1 and I can't save any data no matter how many times I try. Hope to get an update to solve this problem. I really want to experience the rest of spaceships.

    I'm now level 15, finished hard. From what I've observed I couldn't get more than one level per game. Then found out that beating just few enemies gives enough exp to get another level. So if you're looking to level up quickly, get destroyed after several fights...

    Also, please add longer games, tougher enemies. I'm loving the game and wouldn't mind to buy expansion!

    A must-add feature for me is multiple save slots.

    Having played on all three difficulties, they are all fun. Easy is actually super easy, once you get the hang of it. So sometimes I like to plow through on easy.

    Other times normal and hard are fun. But if you are partway into a hard run, and just want to chill on easy, you can't.

    The game completely hung-up on me during the 2nd mission. I haven't been back to see if it'll happen again so I can't say exactly where it hung. But it is a nice game.

    How do you use the red/green ring of buttons that appears when you click on an enemy ship? I can't figure it out, very frustrating.

    That ring lets you control what weapons to focus on that ship. Each icon that is activated means focus fire with that type of weapon. Projectile, energy, missiles etc... The top ring icon means everything, except for fighters, which you'll have to activate separately or they'll stay be the mothership.

    When is the scroll bug fix coming? I am stuck after completing a level since I said no to go to next map now the mission marker is gone to prevent me from scrolling up to the exit sector.

    you just need to click the name of the mission to scroll the map to the main mission (that is the quick fix when waiting for the update)

    Well the update has finally been reviewed and approved by Apple! The map bug is now fixed and some other issues as well.

    We will submit the next update soon that will fix other issues. You should be able to update the game now and get a version, which works on iPad Air and other devices that had the star map scrolling issue :)

    Snowstorm is exactly right. And this is especially important for carrier fighters, as they will tend to hover near the carrier unless you send them across the screen to attack a distant enemy ship.

    One good strategy is to warp very close to a large enemy ship/base, tap its ring, and turn on all fighters and all weapons. You'll make quick work of it.
