The latest and greatest BS from Shadowmaster . . .

. . . alternatively titled "Lie with a smile!"
He claims to be focused 100% on Neveron during code-fest. This I don't doubt.
However, his claim to be too busy to interact, chat, post updates, etc, smells of the same stuff he is shoveling at us with his new features:
He was MORE than happy to post updates and chat when he was beginning this project. Now that more than half the players want his head on a stick (preferrably smoking and screaming in pure agony) he "suddenly" is SO busy he can't afford the time to keep you lesser mortals known as his donators in the loop as to what he is doing and how it works.
PROPHET MODE ON:
After Randy finishes and goes home, SM will come to chat, listen to players, be "amazed and truly upset" and claim he had NO idea the changes made this much of an impact, apologize profusely, and claim that he will fix it the next time he can afford to have Randy come to town. Until then, we are stuck with it. BTW, hey: DONATE so I can bring him here faster!
END PROPHET MODE:
Any thoughts?

Notice that all his forum topics are locked? Shadowmaster is the Adolf Hitler of Neveron plain and simple.

It was not enough for him to own the game, now he is using it to prove he is GOD, and we are all subjects to his every whim. In a few months he has undone years and thousands of dollars of work.

In the time it took me to write the last note and log back in this happened:
These are skill-ups.
Soldier Defense Tower - 50893 D 6 7
Soldier SCP 2 V 2 3
Soldier VNG 2 V 2 3
Soldier SCP 2 D 2 3
Soldier SCP 2 V 1 2
Soldier VNG 2 D 3 4
Soldier BEH I G 2 3
Soldier PRT V 1 2
Soldier Defense Tower - 50893 D 5 6
Soldier SNP D 2 3
Jethro HGN 4 G 2 3
2 BEH V V 2 3
Soldier Defense Tower - 50566 D 4 5
P.S. Formerly every unit over 2 gun was constantly in training, and those two and under used in frequent skill raids.

Is it better to 'fire' pilots with neg rep and hire new 8/8's, even if their skills are 5+ gunnery?

The reason / cause for your problem (units getting worse (= skill-ups)) is simple:
Quote:
[...]
Your current training rate is set to: No Training
[...]
because with "No Training" the automated skill-up code 'rules' and your units will skill up at random.
If you want to maintain the status quo (quasi static skills, at least on average) you will probably need at least the "Normal" setting for your empire, though not sure if "Normal" would be 'enough' already or if it would take an even higher setting, but one of the guys coding this new stuff should know.
Can't afford "Normal" or higher training rate with your current daily NevCash flow?
Either this way: "Follow me to the cash shop, please!" [= simply get more DP-only income doublers], or you could arrange for a friendly / fake war to score some skill checks for your empire, or you could simply gank one of your poor neighbours without asking them first, the choice would be up to you ...

Not in my opinion, unless hey are severly negative ie -20 or something really bad like that.
Any skilled soldiers you have now are valuable.

Thanks to the new color scheme, I can't see half the crap on my empire pages.
Anyone know if SM is smoking the stuff they had in Vietnam? It sure seems like it.

I think any sort of donating now is just reinforcing what he has done. Do you really want to do that?
Personally, I would rather staple bologna to my face.
