NOTICE: New Star Wars Commander Content Soon!

Totally psyched for better turret buffs

[DesertPyramid]

Did the rebel pilot build times get normalized at the same time as the target priority fix, or does he still take more than 47 minutes to upgrade?

Data Miner Findings:[/glow]

• SWC Event featuring Rogue 1 Crates that lasts for 4 weeks with 4 parts, 12 April to 5 May.
• Event: They have done away with the A/B Test and now everyone gets Group A it appears, the lower EP cost for less rewards.
• Gift of 200 crystals for everyone on May 4 (May the Fourth Be With You)
• Major Unity Version Update noted - So Client Release Expected.
• Armory Advanced Equipment (Turrets) have had their Buffs Increased (more on this later).

I just check the Shop and found frags for Tognath available in the Data Fragment... Then will be a Rogue One Event starting tomorrow and running parallel with the Old Elite Units Conflicts?

Nice... Forget about take a rest from the Jet/Jump frag Orgy... I want frags to upgrade Fang Fighter, TX-225, Drabatan and even the Tognath! But a Rogue One Event sounds too good to be true... I bet that "less rewards" means only 1 frag per crate for each unit...

And why buff turrets? They finally realized Jumps/Jets are OP?

[Spock]

The “less rewards” was just referring to the two groups we had last time.
3 rewards for 450 ep in group a
6 rewards for 900 ep in group b

This time all bonus crates will be 900 ep/ 2 hrs and will contain 5 rewards.

[Boog]

Three rewards is solid.

Balance Updates
• Health values on all Reinforced Mounting turret equipment has been increased.
• Damage values on all Enhanced Heat Sink turret equipment has been increased.

• This change is intended to increase the range of viable defense options, especially for mid-HQ players, without punishing any particular defensive strategy.

I found this. Is it accurate?

Nice ! Fangs, TX and Drabatan !
On the down side, was hoping to upgrade my armory and lose some medals but I guess that can wait

[Badtoro]

It would be nice to give a 20% more boost to imperial turrets, to fix at last the imbalance between jets and jumps.. but, hey, we know it won't happen

I'm glad they're not doctors. I'd hate to go to a doctor with a flesh eating disease only to go away with a bandaid to stop the bleeding. Because the bleeding is obviously what's wrong.

In all seriousness. I wonder what prompted them to buff the turrets and I wonder what kind of buff we're looking at.
If we go back to the 400% buff, people will probably drop the GR and then maybe I can dust off my old R2 loadout again and finally drop the boring ass jets.

My current best guesses are:
1: They noticed that Rebels are pounding imperial baby bases, so buffing the turrets will make them a less viable target. If that's the reasoning then somehow they're completely overlooking what this will do to the higher lvl rapid farms and Rebel rocket farms (I don't think imperials fear these, but who knows). Not to mention that this is treating the symptons and not the disease as I mentioned in my overly dramatic opening.
The update remarks seem to indicate that this is the reason, but I'm cynical bastard and I feel like there's no way people can be that dumb and thus...

2: Alternatively, the release of the solo movie will coincide with a new strong turret buster unit for both sides. Obviously this unit will then be a must have to deal with the newly buffed turrets.
If we go by the Lego sets/trailers then there are new speeders which could be skins for the ATST and the rebel counterpart.
