    I still love the Mist Star. Damage isnt top tier, but it's got good homing, so that i could focus on avoiding bullets in between Stun EMP durations.

    I got lucky and pulled trireme from the warp gate and now the game is a joke. It has homing lasers that never miss so you just worry about not getting hit, missile barrage aka the most OP damage ability in the game that literally clears waves(including bosses), and then teleport if you get in a jam.

    This ship is way too strong imo. I went from ranking around the 5000s with normal 1 star ships with no upgrades messing with bullet emp and stun emp ships depending on my liking to being in the top 10 with full upgrades because I had been saving my money for just such a pull.

    Just got another duplicate. How about if duplicates automatically gave you a free random upgrade to the existing ship, of if fully upgraded gave 100 credits? It would certainly reduce the sting of these pulls.

    Wow... Didnt know Trireme had homing attack too. I guess that answers why most of the time it's in every day's top10.

    Anyone know can I find all ships or most ships attack type? just going off the name is hard to tell...like which ships are split bullets/laser and homing etc.

    We need a wiki or something, though I'd bet they will allow ship previews before that happens.

    There was something weird about this daily. I finished 3rd but I only attempted the stage maybe 3 times, and certainly could have done better. I finished 3 out of like 1000 or so which seems really low. I wonder if they're breaking the daily stage up into regions or something. I didn't see you on the leaderboard at any point unless you have multiple accounts (I have seen you on there in the past).

    That's really weird. I wish I had taken a screenshot of my final leaderboard. Was I on yours (Androyce), and do you remember the total number of participants?

    First time I got a mission complete. I'm pretty psyched though I'm sure plenty of you do it all the time. I haven't even maxed out the ship yet.

    The Trireme and its instant-homing-laser comrades are getting a slight damage adjustment downward to put them more in line with the others.

    Starting the current daily mission we have adjusted the location of the enemies, there should be a bit more breathing room at the bottom of the screen now.

    Since yesterday we broke up the daily leaderboard into smaller chunks, so the daily challenge just got a bit more intimate. To put it simply, there are were many players in 1 global daily leaderboard for the datastore to handle :)

    Great game, but like some already said, there's no incentive (?) to play after some runs.
    Like 2 times a day I launch the game, play 3-4 games max. As soon as I get an "acceptable" run, I just stop playing the game. I want to play more, but for what ? Several frustrating runs, where 1 of those might be better than my already best, which would give me, what, mere 50C perhaps ? nope.

    It's a lose-lose situation here: I play less than what I want, hence I will never drop any $ on it because of the so rare credits.

    I'd rather buy the game and play it with credits coming on every run because I want to play the game.

    Would it be possible to make it so the game zooms out less? Wave 3 is good but wave 4 already gets too small.

    Btw a simple fix to the currency problem is to make daily missions. For example kill 20 enemies with mega laser, or emp 500 bullets. Would give you something to do other than chase your high score.

    Love the game, can't put it down!

    Is Vuxine getting a slight damage adjustment as it has a homing vortex launcher?

    I must admit I got very excited yesterday when this run

    https://youtu.be/KetuGrHaPwE

    put me in 2nd place overall from my previous top 500 rankings. I was gutted when this morning I was 2nd out of 1200! I liked comparing myself to the whole world so it would be nice to somehow see your score in that comparison again.

    I sincerely hope this is only a temporary solution. With the global daily challenge aspect removed, my desire to play is greatly reduced. It would be one thing, if the leaderboard was broken up into regions so I could say I got #X in the US or in North America, but there is no context here at all. I'm just ranked of a random tiny subset of the playerbase. I'm honestly not sure how much longer I'll stay interested in that. The daily global competition was the driving force keeping me coming back again and again.
