Since the maintenance last Tuesday, nearly 1 full week ago, I have managed to earn and spend the following SP points.
Shield Boost Systems: 310,920
Shield Control: 74,610
Shield Enhancements: 136,000
That was with both an active and a passive booster and I'm yet to hit my cap of a maximum 1000sp (1500sp with active booster?) per match, depending on score.
Since the weekly cap was implemented on a Tuesday, am I right to think that it will be reset during Tuesdays maintenance or has it already been reset without my knowledge?
I could be wrong but I thought the cap was around 190k, and with both types of boosters, should only gain 100%. That's 380k, right? Even then, I've exceeded the cap and I'm still gaining 4-7k per game, so still not being limited.
I doubt anyone else who's experiencing this bug(?) will come forward, out of fear of getting all those hours of grinding taken away, but this is clearly giving me ample opportunity to surpass those who have been capped. Could a dev please confirm that I have accumulated over double the allowed SP this week. |

But with reset only the day after the cap was introduced, for me to earn what I have now, I would have had to have gotten 190k before reset. I know for a fact I did not do this, not by a long shot. |

Django Quik wrote:Without boosters you earn ~24k SP passive per day and up to 190k SP active per week. That adds up to a total of ~360k SP per week. With boosters that can be upped to around 540k SP (150%), so it is possible you're still not quite there yet but it does seem somewhat unlikely.
With what I have unallocated at the moment, it all adds up to 596,895SP.
If the cap with boosters is indeed 540k that would mean I would have made 57k on the day the cap was introduced. Lets say 20k was made passively overnight. So 37k active SP in one day, nope. That's also assuming I have just hit my cap now, which I still haven't.
So yeah, it does seem unlikely. It also seems broken for me. (not complaining, my shields are sh*t hot now). |

Hey, it's a game I actually enjoy and it's still in beta. Anyone who doesn't report these type of things, doesn't deserve to participate. |

Hey, it's a game I actually enjoy and it's still in beta. Anyone who doesn't report these type of things, doesn't deserve to participate. People.... 190 400 sp active week (max) 24 000 per day *7 = 168 000 sp passive per week 360 400 sp total when you hit cap and stop playing (but you get it pregresivly ... so not so fast with 'jump conclusions') With bossters 150% (.. sad that % calculation is missing from schools in some countries) 540 600 sp per week.... OP says plays almost week with boosters... still under 'cap' crap numbers (521530) with double reset in last week. Play more, read more.

You're assuming I demolished the game on Tuesday to get in shed loads of SP before the reset. I didn't. On the Tuesday, I made about 15k active SP (I know this because I wasn't in the house for the most part), nowhere near enough to make the amount I have now.
Yes, you say the cap is 540,600. I'm closing in on 600k.
The 540,600 is active and passive combined, correct?
Also, it's a shame that basic grammar and spelling is missing from schools in some countries.

Well Jack, In my OP I did state that I EARNED AND SPENT the SP. So, I started off with roughly 10kSP (I had just upgraded Circuitry and left myself dry), then the new cap was introduced.
I then decided that I would be able to upgrade my shields in one big lump sum. Over the next couple of days, from having 10k unallocated, I had managed to save and spend an extra 300k on Shield boost systems level 4, from nothing.
The skill I wanted was shield control, so I put 2 levels in that too for a further 100 something. Well, my shield was looking good, so I thought I'd make it better with some shield extenders. That cost me even more SP. In total, from this point, I have exceeded 600k SP, both passive and active.
All of the skills listed were from scratch, level 0. I had very little reserve prior to the new cap.
Give or take 50k, I was on about 800k at the time of the new cap. I have nearly 1.4mil now.
You're missing my point about the schooling. I wouldn't take the **** out of your bad spelling usually, so why take the **** out of the 'calculations' in this thread? I know what I have earned and spent. It far exceeds the cap. I provided all the evidence needed, all I was asking for was either someone to come forward and say the same **** is happening to them, or for a dev to check the progression of my character and confirm what has happened.
I thank you for your insight and mathematical ability, but it doesn't stop you from being incorrect. |
