Hi there.
This may be answered in the past but I didn't find anything in your recent posts.
Is my base power actually affected in any way by the weapon I'm equipped with?
In other words, when I'm being attacked, will it actually be better for me if I have a 200K weapon equipped and 73K base power vs a 10K weapon and 73K base power?
Thanks in advance
You will go where you look at...

The the converse appears to be true however. If you increase the power of your Base, the weapons power appears to increase, even though their rating remains the same
I don't have a problem with this (for now) since my 130K Tesla is more than enough for all (long range) 93.12K bots.
What I also noticed and found interesting is that, when upgrading my base economy level, the max diamonds I can get from a pvp also increases. Previous max was 23.3K and now it's 27.3K or something.
70% of the members of my clan have 30-60K base power but their weapons are 10+ whereas I have a 73K base power and 10-10.5 weapons.
I really need a heavy gun though. I'm still with a 4.32K one since last year :-)
The one currently on sale in the store (lvl 11) seems rubbish (720 gold, can't remember the name)
Now I can get a max 26.78K from each pvp, simply by upgrading my base economy.
I can now upgrade my base at least once every day!
Your order of upgrade priorities is the one I have always used, but I am rethinking the relative importance of Player Health, particularly as you get into the more advanced levels. I have a maxxed out Level 10 base, with Player Health of 357 K. My last upgrade to Player Health added 3201 to that rating. That represents an increase of less than 1% and cost 819.2 K Diamonds.
I still agree that Base Economy is top priority, but upgrading Tesla and Heavy are more important than other Base upgrades.
BTW, if you are underpowered and losing PVP contests, weapons upgrade move to the head of the line, above Base Economy.
Witrh all due respect, your aspect is correct but flawed in some ways.
1) You said it yourself earlier. Weapons very fast get degraded (in campaign or in PVP) and in time useless but not your base
2) This may sound familiar; you may have come to a point where, even before you maxed out your weapon, a new (better) weapon was available for you to buy or win in an event. So the hundreds of thousands or millions of diamonds you spent, are now down the well
3) You are between the most active players in pvp in CKS, right? What do you do with all the extra diamonds you win? I'm sure you get a lot. Why put them in your drone instead of your base?
The big surprise that I am seeing was that before the update I was complaining about not being able to compete against the Tier 11 92K short range bases. Not all that I am seeing is 132K+ Tier 11 short range bases. What gives? If I had no chance to defeat a 92K base, what am I supposed to do against a 132K base defense?
They have changed the power ratings. Before the upgrade, I had trouble with 92 K defenses, now I can take 184 K defenses with a Drone, without using a Medkit. Try out some of these high value defenses, they are easier than you think.
OMG What is a 184K DEFENSE ??? Sounds like it's double the maximum rating of 92K... Come on guys, you're having a big joke right?
The upgrade has changed the values to make them more realistic. I have been beating 184 K Shorts with a 50 K drone without using a medkit most of the time.
You had me worried for a sec ... next time don't do that without some sort of a lead in. LMAO
You are going to like the upgrade. Video runs without a stutter on my iPad. Lots of 25000 to 40000 Vaults to attack. The Drones are way killable when you can aim at them. The Defense numbers are now realistic: A 200 K Heavy can take a 184 K Short, even with a Drone.
Hip Hip ... Hooray ... it's finally fixed !!! I trust YOUR assessment. Everyone is complaining. About what? I have no idea ...
Clearly, some people are having problems. I wonder if they have gone to the App Store and downloaded the new App.
Sounding like this will make me a happy camper again! I feel some heavy spending coming this weekend, but only 3 days for us Android guys.
3 DAYS is more than enough, this much is sure. I find 4 days to be a bit tedious ... I welcome a short Global. Personally, I don't really get rolling until Day #3 anyway, after the leaders have shut down their engines **SMILES**
