Just put in a request to join goonfleet if that's still going on. I'm still pretty terrible at this game and I always take heavy losses :smith:

At least now we can share replays so other goons can tell you how bad you are (and maybe give constructive advice).

I can win but that last run I did had 2 survivors. It's getting expensive and I probably need to upgrade my flares.

Goonfleet is being more aggressive regarding kicking inactives. I think we have 4 spots open and could potentially make many more.

If you accidentally get kicked we will get you back in asap.

Let's try and get all the groups together. I doubt any of us have very good tf participation.

Thats a nice Game 7 you have there. Would be a shame if somebody nailed it down.
I'm a few hours away from HQ6, 2legit and Goonfleet both have open slots which one would I better for since I'm so new?

Can't speak for legit but goonfleet will take anything. A low level player is better than one that doesn't attack at all.

So I finally built a weapon's lab and apparently I need to raid bases for parts and the weapons aren't even permanent?

Do NPC bases count for parts?

Boat Pirates are hovering at or slightly below 25 members. I've been trying to slowly weed out the inactives (without accidentally kicking people who just play infrequently) to avoid bumping it up to 50. If anyone is planning on taking a long break from playing (or stopping altogether) it would certainly make things easier if y'all could let us know here or in chat.

We stick to the somewhat easier ops and for the most part we get a little over 50% participation in them. Our high levelers kick rear end so it's usually no problem.

I'm in favor of consolidating all the TFs into one or two full of active players.

So I just finished my level 8 HQ, and I'm wondering if I should use some of my gems to go straight to 9 so I can get the next landing craft?

Level 9 landing craft aren't that great. 13 Is a prime number so it only helps with riflemen. You really want all your LC to be level 8 so you can fit 3 heavies or 6 zookas in there though.

Upgrade your HQ to max asap even if it means using gems, having extra boats and troop unlocks is really good.

Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn't been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that's really worthwhile.

I assume ShootaBoy meant getting a new craft, not a new level for his existing crafts.

Level 9 HQ is cheap (only 81k wood and 18k stone) so I'd say raid for what you can and gem the rest. New landing crafts are one of the best upgrades you can get.

Yeah, I meant getting a new boat. I ended up getting enough stone when the resource boats rolled in this morning so I gemmed the last few thousand wood. Now I just get to wait 8 hours.

That makes sense now. Is there some sort of formula to figure out how many diamonds X wood or Y stone cost?

No.

On a very expensive upgrade, you'll find you get more wood/iron/stone for your diamond. You don't get a set 600 wood per diamond or anything like that. Sadly. Would be much easier to work out.

Goonfleet is currently running an op that we will not beat. Anyone who doesnt participate is gonna get the boot. Im expecting at least 15 slots opening, maybe more. Hoping all the actives from pirates can come join us and those that dont play as much can reside in boat pirates.

Op just started so ill post back in here when the purge is complete.

After appraising recent activity, a few slots have opened in Goonfleet. 6 to be precise.

While we love noobies, you'll have more impact on missions if you are level-suitable for Sour Grapes/Bottleneck and up. Post in here to say you're applying so we know you're a goon!

We're going to be actively monitoring attendance, and will make more spaces open as we see people slacking. In a perfect world, the goal would be that eventually all active Boat Pirates are at home in Goonfleet, so if the more actives want to start trickling over now, with newer and more casual players taking their place in Boat Pirates, we'll eventually take over the world or something.

edit: we realize that you may want to move over only when we have enough spaces for all the actives to move over at once. We are going to continue making spaces until that becomes a possibility.
