An error occurred while saving the comment This is something we wanted to do early on, but it ended up getting scrapped due to technical limitations. Since all of the art is hand-painted and not rendered in 3D, it means all of the art would need to at minimum be duplicated, loaded into memory, etc. If it were rendered in 3D then we could simply change the light source. There may be better ways to handle this with future updates to our engine, so we aren't going to rule it out, but it isn't something that is possible at the moment (but I agree it would be really cool).

An error occurred while saving the comment Can you provide some more details about what instance you are referring to? We haven't seen any reports of this happening in quite some time, and most of those reports were instances of players having their bomb floor unlocked, not due to a bug. This is why we updated the casinos listing app to make it more what floors you have open/closed.

An error occurred while saving the comment Some really cool ideas, thanks for sharing! Some of these like the turrets are in the works. Others like docking are interesting new ideas that we'll certainly consider for future updates.

An error occurred while saving the comment One point of clarification is that the stats on drone bays affect all drones, not just the drone in that bay. So because of that, it doesn't actually matter which bay a drone gets assigned to (we did it this way for the very reason you outline here).

An error occurred while saving the comment Are you referring to keyboard shortcuts? If so, the 1-4 keys will switch the selected drone type.

An error occurred while saving the comment @RoyalSerf This is not true, your gems are strictly tied to your account and it doesn't matter if you take out the mine or just the guardians.

An error occurred while saving the comment We definitely want to add more variety to the events and we certainly plan on doing that over time. Just keep in mind that each different event takes quite a bit of development work and we are already stretched quite thin with the resources we currently have. We are working as hard as we can to add more things like this though!

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for the support and for the ideas! We've got some similar ideas to these already in the planning stages :)

An error occurred while saving the comment Just to be clear, a player's bet level has zero impact on their battle/war score. The scoring works the same as in sprints, so your score is adjusted for how much you bet, which puts everyone on the same level.

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for the feedback, we really appreciate it! We definitely recognize there's still a lot of work to be done, which is why we continue to release regular updates and we have some big new features in the works as well. A few things from reading through:
1. The crystals/gems that you get out of mines can only be collected by you, nobody else can see them or steal them (if this wasn't clear we'd love to know that so we can find a way to make it more obvious).
2. I would be curious to hear why you think the larger parts have no benefit. There is no difference between a 2x part and 2 1x parts (cost and stats are by tiles, not by part). We did this specifically so that you could design your ship how you wanted without the stats being the sole driving force. Again, if this wasn't clear that is something we would like to know so we can find a way to fix that.
3. Could you explain what you mean by lag spikes? We have extensive monitoring on all of our servers and they have all been running smoothly since we moved to our new hosting provider a few weeks ago. We aren't having any latency issues on our servers as far as we can tell.
4. We are continuing to tweak the balancing on the gems. I found your statement about needing 4 hours of play to get enough for a part particularly interesting because our metrics show it should take less than hour. Obviously this is something that needs more work on our end.
5. Your comments about repair costs are also interesting because we've gotten a lot of feedback from players that felt it was too easy to get credits and they had way more than they could ever need. We've been working on some tweaks to this to smooth it out a bit better.
6. We've got several additions in the works along the lines of things you've mentioned (power-ups, new variety with the outposts, new types of drones, mounted turrets, etc). -

An error occurred while saving the comment We are working on more tweaks based on the data we are getting, but your calculation for gems is way off from what it really is.

An error occurred while saving the comment We've got a big balancing update in the works that should at least help with this.

An error occurred while saving the comment If you open the main menu you can view each individual drone, its level and its progress to the next level by clicking on each type of drone. Is this what you are referring to?

An error occurred while saving the comment Can you think of when the award doesn't show? We've yet to see this happen in our testing. The re-spawn issue should be fixed, but let us know if you see it again. What did you like better about the previous award graphic? As to your point about re-spawns happening too quickly, this isn't really a bug. Since this is a multiplayer world, other people are taking out mines at the same time. If you see a mine re-spawn near you immediately after destroying one, it wasn't the one that you just destroyed.
Your ship will only take damage when attacked by a guardian, but you can certainly get attacked while just flying around.
