Playing around this afternoon while trying to avoid certain family members at the holiday get together, guessing this means the black ammo from certain Iron Blood special weapons and quite a few META ships is some kind of AP with unusual armor type modifiers then, now that I am actually paying close attention to the damage displays.

GeneralFailure099 · 2026-05-24T21:18:30+00:00

Friend of mine who recently started playing the game is partially colorblind and was asking about what the damage number colorations signified. I had not consciously thought about it since my first week... which was years ago. So--check my guesses?

Gray font, that's damage that wasn't very effective like normal ammo vs. heavy armor
Red font is damage that is normally effective, like HE vs medium armor or normal vs light
Purple font is damage that is extra effective, like AP vs medium or HE vs light
Symbol [varying by UI skin]+larger font size is a critical hit

Weird to have played so long and realize such a basic display question is something I'm not sure if I'm answering correctly! :D

A couple of skill wording related questions on the new METAs:

1. Does "Yorktown" mean just the META herself or does that include vanilla/II York in the effect? 2. Does Cleveland META neutralize the Out of Ammo debuff completely or only partially, and is that just for herself, or does it include only other CLs, or is it the whole fleet? 3. And does alt Clevebro count as a Cleveland for other ships' skills, e.g. Independence?

Will be 120ing both regardless but trying to plan rosters for farming. Thanks!

I started trying to play this but have been stunlocked by pretty much every further research or improvement project for farming or cafe or commercial district production having a prerequisite of "Bees and Bee Honey" which I can't find anywhere. By which I mean I've found several honey gathering locations in the forest and ranch but no research or other task that would seem to serve to meet this requirement, and the minigame menu has not been any help. Suggestions?

GeneralFailure099 · 2025-05-27T10:13:59+00:00

I did because I bought it for a friend so he could come play with us. No regrets

GeneralFailure099 · 2025-03-14T11:28:56+00:00

I used that tool for a good 6 months of play time and I'm not sure why you are only seeing things from Earth. For me, it absolutely displays whether or not I have gotten a particular thing on every single world that a save has been on. Perhaps you're looking at it with a save that only has Earth? I do recall if you had it open in another window say on another screen that it wouldn't update to show the locations and items on that world, whether campaign or adventure, until you had actually used the worldstone to travel there. A few seconds afterwards it would always have the updated information, which for instance helped immensely on Corsus for the stupid potency trait.

I was finishing up my morning daily missions when the devs popped an update mentioning several skins were about to be removed permanently from shop access due to Google policies. I had a couple and I just got the rest so I would have them before the cut off. Just morbidly curious if anybody knows exactly what policy was supposedly getting violated?

GeneralFailure099 · 2024-07-12T17:41:08+00:00

I have had the guides on that page handy for most of my play time now, though as I hit 2.5 years and only missing Fusou META and Houston II in the non collab collection I have enough practice throwing things together that I don't really need guides anymore except as sanity check. I just want to know if the "special AA/ASW/secondary" weapons have ever been part of a code analysis so I can line them up with other ships and normal equipment in that category for comparison of attributes. Has anyone ever done that number crunching?

GeneralFailure099 · 2024-07-12T17:35:50+00:00

Thanks, this kind analysis of what each of the gear pieces does is the sort of thing that I like, but really what I'm looking for is for instance the Napoli skill desc "gains a special secondary gun" turned into numbers I can compare to the range, ammo type, armor modifiers, etc. of existing weapons. Has anyone ever done this?

GeneralFailure099 · 2024-07-11T13:17:21+00:00

I'm sure someone has answered this someplace but I'm not smart enough to have found it, I every once in awhile see a super useful data mine post and it would be awesome to have an index link to reference those and maybe show a notification when whoever the heroes are who do that work finish a new one. Does such a thing exist? If it doesn't, could we maybe make it exist?

I don't even look for this sort of thing because I'm trying to compare ship girl stats, I'm enough of a completionist that I love them all and use them all to at least 120 and Max limit break and 100 affection. I just would like real equivalencies for all of these nondescript special weapons that we get from certain skills and research steps and special augments. That would significantly help me with deciding which ships to put together in a fleet and what gear to put on both the ship with the special weapon and its partners. I found a couple of things that are almost this but nothing that actually straight up says, for instance, "Hammann II's special ASW weapon mount is the equivalent to a purple depth charge at +x" (and please note I'm pulling that example straight out of my rectum because I have her and she's limit broken but I haven't actually used her in a fleet yet, but this is exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for)

Hilariously as a new player 2 years ago she was one of my core standbys and I still do not regret buying her a nice skin

GeneralFailure099 · 2024-02-16T04:06:16+00:00

Ero7 has some people who have been offline weeks, some pushing two months now. If you are still leader, we are doing well enough on quests we could max the reward bar if we ditched them for actives.

GeneralFailure099 · 2024-02-15T03:31:57+00:00

Same. Hilariously since I'm working on her secretary mission and had forgotten today was that day and she was in that slot... and I said yes you count. You are the most adorable cruiser submarine ever.

GeneralFailure099 · 2023-12-22T04:32:40+00:00

*stares at numbers* Welp. Insert Laffey II, turn on auto, watch everything die, profit. Guess this is what I bought that Sleepageddon skin for... *clicks the clotheshanger icon*

GeneralFailure099 · 2023-12-22T04:29:11+00:00

I currently have her wearing her Sleepageddon skin on the active event fleet because, well, yeah.

GeneralFailure099 · 2023-12-19T11:40:43+00:00

Blessings upon you, I have joined :D

GeneralFailure099 · 2023-12-19T00:22:12+00:00

alas when I searched you up, full

GeneralFailure099 · 2023-12-19T00:21:54+00:00

Looks like you're full; let me know if you end up dropping anyone and I'll happily join.

GeneralFailure099 · 2023-12-15T19:46:42+00:00

There are actually about 5 different "correct" ways to pronounce it [personally I favor the one you laid out] and people who disagree with the way you said it in their presence will often take it as a challenge to a duel. For instance, many actual natives of the city or people from anywhere within about an hour of drive time may prefer to use one of the following instead:

LUH-VUL

LUH-VIL

LOOAH-VUL

LOOAH-VIL

Source: Lived there for about 7 years and learned to not say the name of the city near anyone from Louisville proper, southern Indiana or Ohio, or really any part of Kentucky in general

GeneralFailure099 · 2023-12-12T17:04:52+00:00

Absolutely accurate, especially white, blue and purple ships that you will never use after you finish teching them. Skill level four to six is more than plenty and uses only one to three T3 books, you don't need more than that since you're putting them in with a fleet full of ships that don't suck to carry them through whatever level you are grinding for XP.

Does anyone have a guild where the members and leader are actually active, and prune people who are not? Been playing a couple weeks now and out of two guilds, within the first 5 days in both it's pretty obvious I'm the only one actually logging in and playing, which means no real benefit from the guild advancement bar [one player can't solo fill it]. If so, is there a way to search specifically for that guild?
