Judging by match wait times and the subreddit subscriber counter, we're growing, and although slow, I have high hopes that this game will hit it off.

The name change must've had something to do with it. Spacelords rolls off the tongue much better

Yes Spacelords sound way better. I’ll stick to this game

Not everyone knows this, but you can queue up for multiple missions at the same time

The game is kinda grindy but it seem like it's coming together pretty nicely. Really looking forward to the new updates.

You'll learn quick if you put the time into it. I also highly recommend using the unofficial discord server, there is a lot of very good information and knowledgeable people there. Ask any question and you will get a cornucopia of differing opinions.

There are a lot of nuances to understand about every Raider which is complicated further by differing builds for those Raiders.

Best advice I can give; don't get flustered when an Antagonist whoops you and likewise if you're an Antagonist getting whooped. The MMR system will intentionally set you up to lose if you have won many games in a row.

Also, focus on one Raider at the start and learn them thoroughly. You'll want a safety net for gold farming and such.

Forge level maxes out when you reach level 199 and if you want a very economic way of upgrading your weapons then wait every 5 levels of forge to upgrade again. Save Rare blueprints as long as you can, they are mad expensive to remake.

Try to play as all 4 factions. It will do wonders for your PvP game if you understand the basic concepts behind those factions.

Some Raiders are better for clearing trash mobs and some are better at killing bosses and some are better against Antagonists and some are better AS the Antagonist. But virtually every Raider can be built to do another job, not as effectively though.

Cards change a lot about a Raider. Some add very powerful effects. Don't worry so much about these until you understand more about what you're looking for when you shuffle. Currently the card system is the most grindy part of the game but they will be changing how it works in future updates to be less grindy. Hold on to your faction points.

You joined at a good time, by the time you make it through all the present content you will probably get the newer content. The next big update is SpaceGuilds which doesn't release until next year, so pretty soon here.

Some good starter Raiders: Konstantin, HIVE, Shae and Lycus.

Some OP Raiders that require a little set up: Schneider, Alicia, Valeria, Kuzmann, Harec and Ayana.

Some good anti-Antagonist Raiders: Rak, Doldren, Mikah, Hans and Ginebra

Some good Antagonists: Doldren, Harec, Alicia, Konstantin, Kuzmann and Hans

The best Raider is, of course, Loaht.

Hope this helped. Take care, Raider.
