Good im glad the 1AT to 15AT was looked at, to many people massing with 1 AT so they didnt lose anything, and there MS adding massive damage, maybe now if you want to mass someone ull step up and accept the losses.

this update really sucked, the only ones benefitting fully from it are the ones who are allready among the most powerful...
this update only increases the gap between the people on top and the poor guys under trying to reach the top
i sure as heck cannot afford it. this one only favors those who needs to be favored the least.
bad one.. really bad one..

If armed, they stay, but you have I suppose to buy again the technology if you want to have no excess shields to maximum capacity.

Not really disky. Everyone benefits the same from this update. Once you get lv 10 you get 30% on your MS no matter the size, so that's pretty fair.
Additionally you might want to consider what is more cost effective for you becuase for smaller MSs it's not worth buying the upper levels when spending the naq on the actual slots will get you more. But once you get to a particular stage then spending on the slots only gets you so far, so you buy a tech.
Then of course there is the cost when you get all the techs and go back to capacity buying

I liked this one but not some of the other effects that came wtih MS changes in battle.

well... i still think that the most powerfull benefits the most from this.. sure it costs them more, but they can afford it, so even with a higher price tag their rewards is higher.
but it doesnt matter really, the more i play this new update the more i like it

to be honest any update where you have to purchase something with naq will always favour the largest players... as they can afford things...
technically everyone benefits the same from the tech updates it's just not everyone can afford it...

I like this.
And for all the non-ascended people that think this update is just for the people finished ascending that not true, its just like covert level's. When your ascending you dont buy covert level 31 do you? No, you buy like 25/26 or your just throwing your naq away with MS tech just buy like 5/6 so its not too expensive and wait till you have finished for levels 7-10.

hmm.. it looks like thay stayed. shields and weaps were armed, but fleets no. and i have weird number of fleet hangers, so i guess they stayed too (not sure, forgot to take notes).
can someone confirm this?
btw: why they give 3%?? that's destroying my beautiful round numbers

could it be 5%??

probably thought that having 50% extra was too much and yes 3% destroyed my nice round numbers too

I like it. It's nice. Saves me quiet a bit of extra cash. The 30% staying with you as you build your MS is even better. But that is just my opinion.

i love every single bit of the update the more i play it

*apart* from the fleets and the fact that your planets are never ever safe again.. no use having planets ever :/ thats a huge DO'H!
but all in all, very satisfied

despite that #ยค&#/"&!!! fleet update ^^

PROBLEM!
I like the technology, but...
When buying weapons and shields, it TELLS you you have x capacity, but in fact you have x-1 + a capacity where a E (0,1). With fleets this doesn't seem to happem; if it says you have x fleets then you can buy x fleets.
I like to quickly type in how many I'm missing after attacking/an attack and then click to purchase then click on the next screen I need to go to. Because of this update I have to WAIT to see if I could buy x or if I only have between x and x-1 capacity available before I can go to the next screen. The only solution I have so far is that I always type in x-1, but that's annoying because I should be able to instantly know how many I can buy and then go on about my business without having to have 1 less or waiting for the screen to refresh telling me that it worked or that I have to buy 1 less.
