    This has been asked for so many times, and nothing happens.

    My personal theory, is that someone at Rovio is really chuffed with thier UI design, that ‘doesn’t need a scroll bar’, (kind of like how Apple reckons you don’t need a 2nd mouse button), and they don’t want to deface it.

    I totally understand that, it is a beautiful piece of design, very elegant, you just swipe vertically to scroll, and horizontally to grab. It really is a genius solution, which ‘should’ totally negate the need for a scroll bar...

    Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. Despite the great design, the hardware just isn’t precise enough. So you’re constantly grabbing when you’re trying to scroll.

    I think they need to face reality, and concede that it’s just never going to work as intended.

    It needs a scroll bar.

    Thank you for the update

    Speaking as a fixer:
    I think the removal of healing from contributing to damage quests is a poor choice. In the absence of further healing specific quests (specific heal with bolt/box/pulse), there is little for fixers to do to assist their guilds in rivalries.
    It would in my opinion have been fairer to allow damage to contribute to healing quests to level the playing field, or as an alternative, reduce the contribution % (i.e. healing does half damage or similar)

    In relation to the repair bolt, as a bolt user, I am very surprised at the decision to allow it to remove stun and heal simultaneously...
    I would have expected first bolt to remove stun only and then require to use other healing items to then apply health to the target.

    Fixers are op now no stacks. Try killing a fixer with legendary pulse, box, tape with rare ones.

    Op and useless for quests are two completely separate topics. Doesn’t matter how op you think they are, if you can’t use them in guild quests (and I think most of us like to participate), then there is little use for them when your guild is trying to complete quests.

    Even the idea that they can be used as fleet partners isn’t that solid since the same teammate could fleet with someone using any other ship and they would both get double points for the quests. Even if they lose a few more battles (because even with a fixer you don’t win every battle) the total points is still better with two non-fixers.

    I agree with many other posters that this change was unfair to primary fixer players. If fixers were too successful then tone them down a bit - don’t eliminate the contribution all together (you nerf items instead of taking them out of the game entirely when stats show a problem - why change the strategy here?).

    Oh - and please give fixers more stars. I care less about the stars than I do about the xp which is tied to stars (and gold/sugar if they are also linked to stars)

    Why don't you save your sniper canons instead of scrapping them? If you can't beat them, join them. ;)

    I’m saving up mine. Takes a long time though to train up alternate weapons.

    But that’s also beside the point... “If you can’t beat em join em” is reasonably good advice for players.

    For devs however, better advice would be: “fix the stupid broken stuff in your game”.

    Now the only toggle option I'm waiting for is one for auto lock (the thing that snaps your cursor to a target even when the target lock icon is grey). I want that full manual control!

    That's a weapon issue though, not a ship issue.

    Overall I find that when you're out of quests that apply directly to your ship/items, Fixers are better off to try to help with the ship-specific win quests since you still contribute "one win" regardless of how much or how little damage you do.

    The bug of overstacking has been fixed. When our healing can be reduced by a grand total of in excess of 75% you know it's an unacceptable problem. Be grateful that Rovio haven't started to include anything to limit your damage output, now that I would love to see.
