Appreciate all the videos man, not many people posting on it. This is by far my fav mobile game, usually burn out after a couple yrs. Game has changed quite a bit the past couple yrs, but a lot of this information still applies.
Just finished the server twice with 30 boxes each time. Ruins have armor and the siege damage might not be accurate representation of how much damage it does. also i recommend you play with some close friends and have time to siege together. BIS ships: Spears, preferably with dam con. Spear is the ONLY reliable heal that won't die easily (ruins have indirect fire that deletes destroyer and frigate) ES with siege torp: pretty good ST59 with heavy armor: good as a tank, but not much siege damage whale is actually the go to cv here because of the healing module that heals aircraft. 5 and above ruin have quite some aa. Vitas B: best siege damage pretty much. IO siege: insane damage, will die if get targeted Levvy 9: the only corvette that goes back to mothership and get healed and also can do actual siege damage. stingray: good, survivable, but not as good as VB hayraddin: very good. this fighter doesnt rtb tho so it dont get healed by whale healing dd/frigate/special carillion: these are expendables. if you are having trouble with ruins, team up with your friends and have one guy tank and the other guy with your most siege damage help when you attacking ruins and rotate around so everyone can collect ruin. i dont think you need a crazy setup if you do it this way. if you do it this way you can even team up and fight level 10 ruin and collect 10+ boxes one run if you are lucky. aux ships with the resc collection rate increase can increase the amount gathered including boxes(might be a bug?) also make sure to wait out the asteroid YOU CANNOT ATTACK ASTEROID WHILE SIEGE!(this is so stupid and it can oneshot your aux/fully upgraded spears). planes can attack the asteroid earlier, and it attack stationary fleet every 20-30 min so check your battle report and estimate when the next strike is gonna come. honestly this mechanics need change to similar way as you attack enemy base and you got flanked by someone else, you should turn your fire toward the other guy instead just being a sitting duck for the asteroid fastest way for collecting boxes: 1. decommission your aux ship and request a new one. this one is gonna be 700+ speed. build a bunch of 721 and collect those flying trash for the resources to build super cap 2. go find higher level city ruin while collecting trash 3. build your aux ships if you have them, level up with xp books and pick the rsc collect speed up 4. team up with your teammates and collect, make sure to wait out the asteroid each time you collect the stuff i would like to see get changed: 1. the points for spears skins is fucking stupid! you need to play this mode 40 TIMES TO GET THE SKINS????????? wtf. make the 8000=50 rating points stackable so if a guy get 32k he gets 200 points or just lower the cost for the skin. Who the fuck is gonna grind that many times for this skins 2. you should be able to hit asteoid while doing siege 3. movement is too slow, no one wanna wait 5-6 hours for just moving near the ruins. maybe make it so you can warp to your teammate? 4. boxes are too expensive (honestly if you just here for the white point its not that bad usually you gets it but when you get something like a battle cruiser it is fucking ridiculous to pay 5-6k for the whole thing) 5. why does ruin have a chance to indirect fire target aux ships???? or make it so that ruin changes target so the firepower gonna spread over the fleet not just target aux ships until it dies and you are forced to retreat 6. not enough aircrafts. 12 bp slot is not enough. same with the supercap but its atleast a lil bit better (still bad if you bringing your own aux ships)
Such an amazing and honest review. Really looks boring and limited to me. Besides, what happens if my wife sees me actively pursuing “trash in space?” Probably have me cleaning the house daily.
I agree with you about the need for a rework on the rewards. I entered the Angulum server a week or two after it came out, and was irritated/disappointed when I went through all of that to find the reward boxes cost an insane amount of proxima.
Yeah it's really badly done to be honest. If they had high drop rates of ships I could see it. But they're just normal black boxes, so chances of finding bps is low anyway and then to top that off the prox cost... I mean.. Like I said in the video no idea what the devs were smoking.
Random kinda unrelated comment, but the background bombers "dropping" seemingly unpowered unguided in zero gravity.... Cool vids very helpful btw hahaha
CV3K with added docks does wonders for the lvl5+. I run duo Cv3K with VitaB + Cells, either ES or Spear for tank, 4 Seige Ios, healers and Carilion Special fill out the rest of the CP which can solo Lvl5s (mind you 3/4 of the fleet is maxed out for TP). Also 2 of those fleets can do pass a lvl7 easily. Also different wave points give different CP limits.. so try to aim for the 350 limit ones to get a more rounded fleet. Also apparently there is a LvL10 (which I dare not touch yet =p)
i have a question, I know you don't Play infinite Lagrange and want to rest, but one question wouldn't hurt or maybe bother your rest, if I have to siege but I don't have the main model, can I still use it with max 8 production?
Really disappointed in having to pay for the boxes. Honestly just seems like a huge cash grab. Instead of using dawn points to go in they should use proxima coin. That way they make their money and we can have fun. The gameplay seems awesome and challenging, but the overall reward is just lack luster and disappointing. Thanks for the video damphyre.
Yeah you pretty much hit the nail on the head. The challenge and gameplay is good fun, hell I wasn't expecting to struggle at all so the challenge was refreshing. But yeah the rewards are beyond just terrible.
@@Damphyre at first, it was pretty easy to solo a lvl5 city. But the update 2-3 weeks ago buffed city defense significantly. Even lvl3 city became hard without bring in proper BP.
paying 800-1200 proxima for battlecruiser module is a good trade in my opinion. How many boxes id had to open to get one? and here i have 30 boxes for 400 proxi and chance for something good
that is true. Albeit you'll see when you open those 30 boxes that if it is of any value you will be forking out an extra 1200 prox or something silly. That is if you get something good...
@@Damphyre I have recently came back after my 1st try. I see that now ruins deal system damage so its not that simple anymore to tank higher lvl ruins. It wasnt that spectacular - only had 15 chests but one of them contained Spear of Uranus blueprint. I find it still worth it anyway as i still had 11 research points from it for only 400 proxima. Assuming i would be able to do 30 boxes and getting aroubd 15-20 RP is still good deal in my opinion.
Angulum is a huge cash grab, its good and fun to do dont get me wrong. Its like running a small little city raid with the bois but god damn, the rewards are horribly disappointing and genuinely saddening.
Yeah will have to test out carillions another time. I didn't get a chance. How many siege Io, carillions etc did you use? I'll try that comp out next time.
@@Damphyre I used the max I could bring of each- so 8 siege Io and 10 Carilion C’s. Can max out both BP’s in a normal server, so I had a fair amount of TP in each
I love the idea of angulum but I have so many issues with the current implementation. I even think they made it worse moving away from the lottery system for issuing passes. First off, 2000 noma to get one skin when you can only get 0 or 50 noma per run is ridiculous. Paying that much to go on a run and getting no payoff if you don't meet the arbitrary cap is extremely discouraging. They should really make it like, 1 noma per 100 rating points you collect, with no cap. Second, they need to figure out what they're doing with pvp. If angulum is supposed to be a trojite/PvP thing, where you pirate your rating points from other players, then make it less impossible to retreat and redeploy, and give players more than one aux ship/fleet. If it's supposed to be pure PvE, then please disable PvP attack actions. Third, random box drops is annoying. I have gotten 4 boxes both times I played angulum, but I know plenty of people who got less. It would be fantastic if you had more control over what you were getting than a standard black market box or had a guarantee that you get at least one box every time you beat a level 3 city or whatever. This would help a lot to incentivize players to actually play the mode. If the rewards and overall experience isn't improved, the team formation desperately needs to be reworked. Currently, the requirement is that you must have 5 members to form a team and all burden is on the player to find other players who will form a team. The other 4 players all have to be online to accept the invitation within a 2 hour window, which is surprisingly challenging in a game that is normally fairly asynchronous. I've seen a team pass expire because the player repeatedly couldn't get 5 people to join in the 2 hour time limit. On the other hand, the "solo" passes are horribly mismarketed, because you still need to form a 5 player team but now you have to convince 4 other players to pay proxima or dawn or else your purchase will be wasted. They need a way to play angulum solo because teams just devolve to solo play anyway, and they need a way for players who have passes and want to play with a team to find or form a team without having to message multiple unions or even local chat in search of people who will play this cursed game mode.
seems like angulum is for whales only. There is no way for a f2p player to have v2 or v3 spear with armor mod, healing uav and high techpoints even if you play like 2 years.

if you are having trouble with ruins, team up with your friends and have one guy tank and the other guy with your most siege damage help when you attacking ruins and rotate around so everyone can collect ruin. i dont think you need a crazy setup if you do it this way. if you do it this way you can even team up and fight level 10 ruin and collect 10+ boxes one run if you are lucky.
aux ships with the resc collection rate increase can increase the amount gathered including boxes(might be a bug?)
also make sure to wait out the asteroid YOU CANNOT ATTACK ASTEROID WHILE SIEGE!(this is so stupid and it can oneshot your aux/fully upgraded spears). planes can attack the asteroid earlier, and it attack stationary fleet every 20-30 min so check your battle report and estimate when the next strike is gonna come. honestly this mechanics need change to similar way as you attack enemy base and you got flanked by someone else, you should turn your fire toward the other guy instead just being a sitting duck for the asteroid
fastest way for collecting boxes:
1. decommission your aux ship and request a new one. this one is gonna be 700+ speed. build a bunch of 721 and collect those flying trash for the resources to build super cap
2. go find higher level city ruin while collecting trash
3. build your aux ships if you have them, level up with xp books and pick the rsc collect speed up
4. team up with your teammates and collect, make sure to wait out the asteroid each time you collect
the stuff i would like to see get changed:
1. the points for spears skins is fucking stupid! you need to play this mode 40 TIMES TO GET THE SKINS????????? wtf. make the 8000=50 rating points stackable so if a guy get 32k he gets 200 points or just lower the cost for the skin. Who the fuck is gonna grind that many times for this skins
2. you should be able to hit asteoid while doing siege
3. movement is too slow, no one wanna wait 5-6 hours for just moving near the ruins. maybe make it so you can warp to your teammate?
4. boxes are too expensive (honestly if you just here for the white point its not that bad usually you gets it but when you get something like a battle cruiser it is fucking ridiculous to pay 5-6k for the whole thing)
5. why does ruin have a chance to indirect fire target aux ships???? or make it so that ruin changes target so the firepower gonna spread over the fleet not just target aux ships until it dies and you are forced to retreat
6. not enough aircrafts. 12 bp slot is not enough. same with the supercap but its atleast a lil bit better (still bad if you bringing your own aux ships)
what to do if meet some other player not your team stealing?
Indefatigable is from WW1 FYI, it blew up spectacularly during the opening phases of the battle of Jutland.

Dude that aux ship looks awesome, can’t wait to try it out
Vid tomorrow shows it off a bit more 👍. I actually didn't get round to building one and was using my FSV
I was waiting for this.

I regular soloed lvl5 with 8 Io Siege, 3 Taurus Assault, 10 Ceres Heal and 10 Noma Heal. But the half of the small ships dies every time.
IS THAT A ROCK PRIME SOUL
Angulum is a huge cash grab, its good and fun to do dont get me wrong. Its like running a small little city raid with the bois but god damn, the rewards are horribly disappointing and genuinely saddening.
How many hours gameplay for that big base!?
I’m soloing lvl 5’s with 98-99% hp left using Ceres supports, Carilion specials, and Io siege.
Yeah will have to test out carillions another time. I didn't get a chance. How many siege Io, carillions etc did you use? I'll try that comp out next time.
@@Damphyre I used the max I could bring of each- so 8 siege Io and 10 Carilion C’s. Can max out both BP’s in a normal server, so I had a fair amount of TP in each
How long does this server last? Can you leave at any time?
5 days and yeah can leave anytime. Honestly though 5 days feels like enough
Is it worth it?
I got 450 prox coins plus financial plan,
And it seems rewarding.
Only if you have spears with a lot of TP backed by some strong carriers and meta aircraft. I'd also wait till you have at least 3-4k prox
