Hey everyone,

Just wanted to follow up with some quick updates for you all.

Capital Supremacy

As you may have seen (and experienced), we’ve been tweaking Capital Supremacy a little over the last few weeks.

To reiterate something we mentioned recently, our goal is to bring the average time of a single game of Capital Supremacy downwards. More importantly, we want to make it so you can load up the game and know approximately how long a match of Capital Supremacy will take.

In short, we want to make Capital Supremacy take less time, but it also needs to happen consistently, and not just a one off.

We recently made the following changes:

  • Reduced Hp of final objectives (2000 was 3000)
  • Increased overtime (10 was 5)
  • Increased base time (360 was 300)
  • Increased bonus time (180 was 120)
  • Reduced boarding time (30 was 45)

Having checked through our gameplay data and telemetry from this previous weekend to a similar one where the changes weren’t in affect, we can see that they have had the desired outcome that we were hoping for.

Games of Capital Supremacy are, on average, much shorter than they used to be. Data and telemetry are only one side of the coin, which is why we want your feedback.

If you’ve been playing Capital Supremacy lately, we’d love to hear your thoughts, both good and bad.

  • How are you liking the ground phase?
  • Would you like the ground phase to be longer or shorter, or no change at all?
  • What do you think about the ship phase?
  • Any other thoughts you’d like to raise?

Content Updates
There have been a few questions recently around content updates and just to reconfirm, the next update will arrive during the first week of December. The second update in December is scheduled to take place shortly after and will contain The Rise of Skywalker content.

All development is currently proceeding as foreseen, and everything is tracking well.

Transmissions & Calendar
Yes, I know, CT When? The next CT is due very early December and will be focused around the first update in December.
We also have the December Calendar on the way and will be shared with you as soon as it’s ready.

Hey u/F8RGE I was wondering if you could answer a slightly unrelated question? Are there any plans to add the new coop mode or capital supremisy to local split screen.

Nothing right now

This isn’t specifically about Capital Supremacy but can you please make much more of these kinds of feedback posts regarding literally else in the game?

Why don’t you do more focused feedback threads? You barely do any & it makes me sad & I feel like you don’t actually want our feedback. I feel like your sole focus should be on getting feedback from us & making sure that the dev team has the ability to improve the game as much as possible & I really haven’t been seeing much improvement honestly for like over a year now. There’s so many star cards that are useless or near useless, the dev team seems to have completely given up on balancing anything other than heroes & even hero balancing is rare & we have to wait an entire month (or more) to get changes.

Can we also get more official responses from you? We haven’t gotten any official responses regarding new weapons that were promised to us & you don’t seem to care that the game is 2 years old with literally not a single new weapon for troopers being added, that’s pathetic.

I do love IA and Co-Op but honestly there needs to be much more improvement with everything else. You said you were working on the hitboxes & netcode, how’s that going? I always get really disappointed looking at your Reddit profile Ben, I look to see if you’ve posted or commented anything every single day yet I keep getting disappointed.

I’m also upset that we literally have just one guy to talk to, Ben Walke. None of the actual developers ever go on here and try to communicate with us & Ben is usually talking about meaningless stuff & not about improving the game like he should be in my opinion. Ben usually has nothing to say & he has to wait through the extremely long approvals process to finally give us some news occasionally but other than that there’s really nothing sadly. The dev team probably consists of about 20 people which really sucks.

I feel like this response is important so I’ll tag you u/F8RGE

Edit: why downvote me? Everyone always downvotes whoever Ben responds to no matter what & acts like he’s a God amongst men all the time.

Focused feedback threads - they happen from time to time when we want discussion around a specific topic. It just so happens that we get a ton of feedback related to all areas of the game without them, so no need to double up. A thread being made doesn't stop people from giving feedback.

If we don't have anything to say, we won't say it. That's just the way it goes I'm afraid, and is nothing new to games or any form of entertainment.

I'm your conduit between the team. I talk about various things, from the fun meme based stuff to the more serious, ilke the CT Lite we've been doing, or confirming we've got specific bugs fixed in an upcoming update.

In short, stuff gets talked about when there's stuff to talk about. It's also easy to gloss over the communication that happens when it doesn't revolve around the specific topics you're looking for.
