Anyone else think the Devs have totally nerfed the starfighters? Incredibly overpriced now for what they do (or rather don't do). Now spending 6k plus for a Defender that won't take out a turret. So, I'm spending 12k+ to take out one turret? But hey, I can get 5 or more woohoo. I'm beginning to think I won't use them anymore, sort of like the shock troopers, scout troopers, jump troopers, probe droid, etc. Out of a 66k attack package, the starships now account for about 43k of that and do soooooo little work. Oh yeah, and it takes 2 hours to produce all of them . . . if I were using them haha.

I only use Decimator and Tie Adv. Normally if I am forced to use air support I consider that a failure

I was big into the combined arms approach until this nerf. Defenders were great against a cluster of turrets to establish the "beach head" and provide time and space to safely build combat power at a point. Now I'll probably start dropping them for other ships. VT's are great when the troopies pop out of the squad center.

Hi, i'll join. My nick is SirCharles.

Please send invite request.

So now with the shortened protection time, I think all my hope of upgrading to level 9 is gone. I've lost >20k in contraband and I haven't even tallied the alloy and credits in the last 36 hours or so. Guess I'll have to drop it as I do not have the time to spend "raising funds" to advance. Not gonna happen.

We were griping about that on the in-game group chat today.

The only way around it I've seen is to compete in the tournaments so you get resources that are un-plunderable, and save those up until you've got enough to purchase whatever upgrades you're wanting. Norym also mentioned taking hits to your medals in order to complete objectives, which is another viable strategy.

But both are tedious.

I haven't played this game in like 2 or 3 weeks. Can't say I miss it. I did get tedious, making level 9 was just going to take too much time for me.

I made the 70 factory kills in a day, mostly sitting watching Windows Updates apply. I took a loss to medals, but basically just built lots of Stormtroopers and marched a few at a time into people with unprotected factories.

I stay off Dandoran, I get attacked constantly on there. I prefer Hoth and Yavin. I have also been known to raid unprotected resources with Scout Troopers and Stormtroopers, managed to save up enough to get my HQ to 10 using both methods. I really only wanted the extra walls and turrets.

Another way to maximize credits is to not use air support often. I only use it when I know it will net me 2x what it costs to build them back.

I am done.

Almost got to 3 million credits 3 times in last 10 days and got attacked, won defense @ 29%, still lost almost 300K credits. Then less than 5 minuted later get attacked again and lost 400K credits.

That is all.

I uninstalled it the only way to make forward progress is spend real money and I ain't doing that on a mobile game like this.

I stopped playing this ages ago, and now I play SW: Galaxy of Heroes for about 15-30 minutes a day..... I'm free-to-playing it but I'm getting bored of it now too.

Also removed it. Playing Galaxy of Heroes now

Sheesh, this sounds awful. I haven't played it since Mardi Gras, but if y'all are all gone and defense is that bad, I may just un-install it when I get back. I really need something to take up those <5-minute gaps throughout the day, though!

I also got sick of my guys not attacking the hq building when it was right next to them that made me fail more than one attack, had AT-AT do that as well.

Well, I haven't uninstalled it yet but I'm certainly not playing it anymore. I finally got to level 9 and now the upgrades are so expensive (1 mil to upgrade a storm trooper?) that it would require a ridiculous expenditure of time and/or money. DONE.
