Universal Tap Transcend: Rebirth (by Inner Hero)

Super clever, Chen!

 

@InnerHeroStudios:
Another "nice to have" feature request: Bundle duplicate blueprints with a count attribute. Or, better yet, once a blueprint has been obtained don't offer it again as reward. Instead offer another item or maybe give its 10 cronos Black Market sell price as reward instead.

Thanks!

 

I think a sell back feature is coming for blueprints. I wouldn't want to see them stop dropping though. I might change my mind about my weapons later once I've upgraded and see what stats I have to work with.

Every once in a while, I just make the blueprints I have. It's all low level mats, minus the KP costs.

 

Can't you sell blueprints already? They don't appear as blueprints in the sell screen (they show up as the full item even if you haven't made it yet) but they can be sold for 10 chronos each.

 

You're right! I never noticed that. I think it's because it shows as the completed item and not a blueprint. The problem is I can't seem to figure out which one is which in the sell list. I would rather still a blueprint and not a completed level 1 item. My only way of potentially telling is that the ones further down the list match the ones further down the list in your ship inventory as well. I have so many blueprints for some items thanks to farming, I definitely want to get rid of a few of them.

Also, it shows me I need to read better. I do like the idea scrotty had of like-items stacking.

I'd also like to see higher level items appear higher up on an inventory list. Fabled items first, then level 5, 4, etc.

 

@InnerHeroStudios: You've probably already covered it with the Dragons Riposte fix, but the same hang problem can happen on level 48 (Emergency Beacon Virus) Insane mode even though neither friend nor foe ships are Lotuses.

 

Hey InnerHero,

Very cool on the upcoming patch. I like the idea of endless mode. I'm also looking forward to the bug fixes and increases in KP.

I noticed the fix to the PvP matchmaking. Good stuff!

Also, I'm glad to hear the fix will be in for the Lotus. Thanks to everyone that helped test out the combat and narrow down that bug, and to you for fixing it.

I tried to redeem any of the 15 codes and was told that all of them had been redeemed. Was I too late to the party again?

Thanks and keep up the great work.

 

This sounds really good. I can't wait!

 

No apologies needed! I can't complain about free chronospheres. I was just surprised they went that fast.

 

Quiet in here lately. Was wondering how most people upgrade their ships. Do you grind all the levels? Or just a couple of the specific levels that drop certain things and then buy the remainder with chronospheres?

Lately I've been using level 10 to get the dragon glass and green things (forget the name) with my 10 daily video resets (reset the power-up that resets all others, use the galaxy reset + drop booster on level 10, complete the last level on impossible and repeat). Still it gets kinda slow. Also I noticed that aside KP, going from purple to fabled takes less chronospheres than going from blue to purple, due to blue to purple have two items that require 20 ofs (even though they're level 2 items they still cost 100 chronos each to speed up).

 

I've been grinding. I do similar to you with the combination of ads and power ups to reset cool downs. But I always just start at insane #1 and progress to #50. I'm a little ashamed I haven't tried to optimize payoffs as you have!

 

@InnerHero: Minor feature request: Keep the Story difficulty for each level the same as the last selected value. For example, if I last fought level 10 on Insane difficulty, it will default to Insane difficulty from then on.

Thank you!

 

@InnerHero: Just a heads up, there is some sort of rare edge case where a ship is forever "missed". I've actually had it where one of my ships, and one of the AI ships both miss repeatedly forever. I must exit the fight because it will never resolve otherwise.

EDIT: I've noticed it several times on level 43, Insane.

 

I've actually been taking a break from the game for a little bit. I still log in daily to collect my chorospheres for PvP, but I don't really fight anyone right now until the Lotus bug gets fixed.

Most of my recent upgrades to ships have been from spending a lot of chronospheres. Typically, I'll spend 2k-8k for a single upgrade. Most of my gear is level 4-6 on all of my ships, with 2 level 3 engines on 2 of my ships.

Prior to taking the break, I generally just ground out materials by doing story missions 1-25 on insane. I stopped at 25 because starting at 26, the enemies have 100% critical hit rate and I was losing too often. With the insane levels having a 100% ship part drop rate, plus the possible drop for that mission as well, it was the best way to farm. If I got all but 1 or 2 items needed for an upgrade, I would specifically target those story missions, or just spend the chronos for the missing parts.

I've been trying to figure out what weapons and armor I want to go after. Right now, I think it's all about getting 3 ships in all fabled or at least level 5 gear. Some of the parts, particularly weapons, are way better than others. It's all about trying to find that balance, but still getting powerful enough in the short-term to make farming go quicker.

I figure once the major update hits, I'll come back and play some more.

 

So whats happening with this upcoming update? The last post said there'd be a version pushed during the week but that was what, 2 weeks ago?

 

Yeah, my interest in the game has started to wane. The top PvP spots are occupied by those with counterattacking ships that I can't beat due to the known bug.

It would have been nice to have that fix released before the wait of new features implementation.

 

That bug is the only reason I haven't upgraded my Lotus yet. I want people to have the ability to beat me.

I remember Inner Hero mentioning something about moving a few pages back. Hopefully we'll get a patch soon, if not version 1.1. In the meantime, I'll keep slowly upgrading equipment and ships (minus the Lotus) as I can.
