Uh hi ... it's been a while

Hi! I used to play BB a really long time ago, since global launch, and I'm thinking about getting back into the game this update.
Is there anything new I need to know?
Like WHY ARE MKS gone
And why are there level 47 players at 1800 infamy ;-;
Help
Ps: Left around when repair bolt was introduced

 

Hey hey, welcome back, I remember you.

I like this as little as you. Mk6 slots are unlocked at level one and all you can upgrade on your ship is health by "leveling" your ship. (there are 50 levels)

More skilled players means more competition and the longer BB goes the more time unskilled players will have to level their accounts.

Okay, what do you want?

 

Welcome back, and quite a few things have changed!

Nerfs:
Frost- Deceased(ripperinos)
Fire: Going strong, firebomb is glitchy as hecc
Cannons: Excannons were heavily nerfed(they only deal 75% of their damage as splash, and projspeed and CD were nerfed damn hard), blast cannons have remained pretty much the same, same for snipers and stdcans

Torps: Again, pretty much the same
Mines: Same old, same old
Grenades: No nerfs
RG: Same
Tesla tools: TS got nerfed quite a bit(double bubble is OP but less used, we'll get to that in a bit), TB got nerfed to the ground(rip), RG can stun people due to a completely unexpected set of circumstances
Healing tools: Pretty much the same, except bolt was made a oneslot
Defence tools: Rudder and lube were REMOVED Other than that, pretty much the same
NEW: Ship: Interceptor
Wep: Gatling Gun

Next. Eventz.
Used to offer special event perks and an outrageously high chance of leggy pieces, now offer interceptor parts. Railguns, for example, got a perk that gave a stun chance.

Agilities were changed, enfo has the ability to turn 180° in little more than a second. So thus, less bubblers, more speedforcers

Next, in the most recent update, they completely removed the crew and added ship levels, to balance event matchmaking(which was gearbased). They also turned every ship into its "True form". You'll understand once you start playing. In general, every ship is a mk6 now



Oh, edit: Damage got buffed 300% if I'm not wrong, HP is pretty high up there too!

 

Rudder and lube ... were removed?!?!
I mean, I guess it wasn't used that much
Ofc events are nerfed after I join
And all ships are Mk 6? Ok...

Well thanks anyway

 

Oh hey, I think I recognize your name as well
It'll be weird having Mk 6 ships, but kinda cool as well

 

1800? Pfttt! Thats nothing, there have been mk5s and mk6s at 800 infamy, and lower (like thousands of them). They’ve been making life a misery for new players.

I answered your questions in reverse order, because that’s why. The gap between the different mks was just too big, and there was too much seal clubbing going on.

 

Yeah that was still there back a while.
But I miss when it was mk 4 at 1800 :-:
And now I'm stuck permanently down here

 

This most recent update that guarantees you to have all the weapon slots on your ship, and the ability for your rare lvl50s (if you have them) to do some serious damage, should allow you to move up in infamy no problem if you have skills.
