This is the Brave New Economy.

Wear lots of bling rings?

First, determine what is priority spending goal per each resource you got. Only use credits to buy signals, if that is your best possible use for credits, etc. Additionally, you may want to learn to play without signal flags bonuses... Or... looking at this from an alternative point of view.. opt to play with 0 pt captains... skill free captains wouldn't benefit from any signals anyway.

Okay, now that is a mystery (worthy of Sherlock Holmes...). You got a recurring subscription without ever getting a recurring subscription. I wonder if there is any tab under your account which is supposed to show you whether you got one or not. Yea, don't do that.

First a/ and second b/ look Googlish to me. First b/ looks good, second a/ looks mostly ok.

There's not really any mystery here, though.

Stay clear of those islands. Some even have torps!!!

Er... correct me if I'm wrong, but that's not exactly how auctions are supposed to work...

Well, the only sensible solution for me is to demount all economy flags. ... and let my Premium time expire.

Don't stop now, I'm waiting to see '8 pages later' here...

There's a slight problem here because the Friesland not even having torpedoes, I wonder how useful any captain specifically trained for this ship would be when it comes to the DD's that will remain with the Pan-EU line.

You are confused about colours, pink is not blue, blue is not pink. This is not WoT, and even in WoT you no longer go blue and can't get shot at.

Correct, I checked and PR has 'Special Ship' status in game, not premium. Technically, then, I think only the older premiums that were at any time sold for cash in the Premium shop and did not carry the 'nerf warning' are safe from direct nerfs. 'Universal changes in game mechanics' is, of course, a different story....

It's because they mess up some bit of legacy code and quickly patch it up in a somewhat botched up way and call it a 'new mechanic'.

War(gaming)... War(gaming) never changes...

Yeah, I made an arithmetical error there. Three months is closer to truth. So, to revise what I said earlier... Coal isn't any rarer than patience.

If you pick resource containers, and make XP fast, it might be about a month with all the available containers picked. Some SC's might also drop 15k coal, so that would come as a potential bonus.

I wouldn't say coal is exactly rare though. It is available if you just keep farming it.

That would not be a bad conversion rate then? How much is it, roughly the 25 mil?

It might be possible to count the effective worth in credits, by comparing coal ship prices against equivalent silver ships. That would make it easy to see if you are bidding over the effective worth of the coal lot or not. Sadly, without doing the math, I think even at the lowest allowed bid you are probably overbidding at about 50% over value regardless.

It's actually possible, because they outbit each other by cutting costs. Sometimes those companies miscalculate and eventually go bankrupt. Same, actually, as a player can do here even though the process is reversed, the end result is the same, losing more than you can afford.

I am testing this auction, not that I actually expect to win anything with a lowish bid, but I for one did not experience any problems setting the bid or when processing it. The 'Change Bit' option is offered, but haven't tested that out.

I'm poor.

I'm waiting for the 'greenhouse effect' to solve the problem with islands. That would make the game much more fun already. Seriously, they would need do several things which (IMO) would make the game better. Some of my ideas would involve changing the BB dispersion to be better along the vertical as opposed to the horizontal (as suggested already on the forum previously), decreasing HE HP damage potential along with introducing a new mechanic 'reduced efficiency' attributable to both AP and HE hits. Cruisers would need to be strengthened against BB AP shell hits (but possibly made more susceptible to HE effects.) And that's just for starters.

Ah... that's why the redeem page showed up with one of those....
