grävling - yep, the ticket also includes a button "Forfeit (All AP)" - I was just answering his specific request. Grin. But for his _precise_ specific interest, I was letting him know there already is a way to skip 1 AP, though he may not have realised this.  Actually, if you press the "item" button and after you press your phone "previous" button without using any item, it will just pass your turn and you will don't loose any AP!  |

We are always very interested in using community spirit to help improve the games. We'd love it if people wrote draft proposals for sections of the help file. So, what sorts of things do you need guides/docs for? A clear list means people can pick something there aren't a thousand guides on. Not much of an issue for CK (relatively few guides) as maybe Star Traders... |

I'd be happy to write a draft for a new CK manual, but as I'm not completely certain of how some of the game works (as I may have implied ;-) ) it wouldn't be a very good idea. My info may not be correct!

Officer Genious - not sure, was just responding. I don't have a punch list of things we need, just as I don't have the time write them mataeus had a couple of good ideas in his post above.

Actually, if you press the "item" button and after you press your phone "previous" button without using any item, it will just pass your turn and you will don't loose any AP! This isn't always what you want. For instance, if you are a baby cybersword and you have 5 AP, you want the little ganger 3 Ath waddlers to come to you. You whack them for 2 AP with your brown glove, and then use the 3 AP to get out of their range. Repeat until dead. We didn't use to have this way to have a 0 AP move, and I liked it better when we did not. |

I understand although with baby runner I never fight, I just run far far away and escape! Because I'm not an agressive Knight like you , but I will have to try your way of life in the nbz one day! Look dangerous but fun! |

Look dangerous but fun! You should definitely consider the newly reduced-AP cost defensive moves. I will endeavour to get their effect in the doc for the next release. |

Actually I was allready using them a lot, when I was trying to flee, a runner in each direction, and being shot by some higt speed weapon like yakusa samouraï or some drone, I think it saved my life a lot of time.. and now I continue tu use it a little when doing dangerous capture mission for mars and trying to use only lethal gun. But it's sure that now, with the reduction of the AP cost it become incredible useful in a lot of situation. It was really a good improvement! And the new plant job is very good too, I enjoy it a lot, although with my actual team I'm not so successful, have to train an hacker! Now that the v2 connectors recognise my experience, I tried it with my big knight (600xp), and I loved it New job system is really a great thing, and I don't know if you know this but the job are better paid than with the V1 connector (with my 600xp knight). But if all connector are going to change, it will don't be a problem actually... Great Job! |

eltoreador - thank you very much for the compliments! Really glad you are finding the new job system to be an improvement, we've done a lot of work on the design. With every new release, the "high-end" stuff is also improving, so your 600 XP Knights will have more fun too. Lots more coming!

Could an export option be added? I have bought this app for several phones and I'm fine with that, but I can't root the phone I'm playing on, so I lose my best knights every time I move to a new phone. This is how I envision it: The export option would copy the file(s) out to an accessible location (SD card?), then when I get the new phone, tbe import looks in that accessible location just like it would look for free version saves.
Thoughts?

@drover - welcome to the forum and thanks for the post. It's a big off topic We may eventually provide an export feature, but it requires additional permissions, which we like to avoid when possible. It is on our long-term roadmap, but nothing we are focusing on atm. |

fallen - perhaps a cloud-update/export one rather like Star Traders? However, I've never had the cloud-backup work for me for the game.

I would love that ; this way, I could play on my mobile in the bus and then export my save to my computer and continue with BlueStacks.  |

I'm getting better at keeping myself alive, but I'm not getting better at keeping my runners alive. Only the snipers can use long-range weapons, which means that in order for them not to be complete duds in combat, they have to get close. It seems like every time I wind up tangling with the Yakuza bosses with Speed 4 SMGs or BS/KH and their Speed 3/4 drones, I wind up having a runner take 6-7HP in a single round and croak. This game gets unforgiving fast at the higher difficulties.
