Happy New Year! (New TAP Hosting Announcement)

~ Sebastianul ~ 22 Comments

Thank you for being here the whole of 2020. May the next year bring us all joy, health, wisdom and peace of mind.

I would like to announce that the site will undergo maintenance for a while starting January 1, so do not be scared if entering it won’t work; it is only temporary – check it again later. I’m changing the host to a better one (and for the ones of you going down the path of self-hosting, NEVER use Bluehost; document yourselves first). Will change the hosting to Cloudey. I’m doing this for 2 reasons:

-500 internal server error when there is too much traffic;
-TAP randomly going down these past 2 months, for several hours, those hours being peak hours.

The main goal here is making sure the site works smoothly, especially when the next Black Market arrives. See you all in the next year, with hopefully articles every day.

PS: also installed a different dark mode plugin, please tell if it works well or if I should revert back to the previous one.

Updated Commander Skills

  • Bots are turned off for Random Battles in the Public Test. Battles with players only will allow us to get more precise data on updated Commander skills.
  • Many of you voiced your concerns about the builds focused on the secondary battery and their efficiency in the new system. We’d like to comment on these concerns: we don’t plan to lower the efficiency of such builds in comparison to Update 0.9.12 and we’ll carefully monitor it. Please keep in mind that the data from the Public Test isn’t enough to make a decision about increasing the efficiency of these builds before the release due to the following reasons:
    • There were bots in Random Battles, so the data was distorted.
    • The announced extension of the secondary batteries’ ranges will appear only at the second stage.
  • We will get back to this question after the second stage of the test, but the possibility that some secondary-focused ships might become too efficient and will need balance changes after the release stops us from making secondary-focused builds stronger before the release. If secondary builds lose their efficiency on the main server, we’ll boost it. Keep in mind that, with the update to Commander skills, builds like these also received some improvements for their main battery, which improves the ship’s overall efficiency.
