JUST DID THIS AND NO F+++
OR A. KICKBACKS ON DESTROYING C. CENTER… :/
Triggered angel kickbacks today, without shooting any structures and still had some frigs left, i believe it triggered when i killed the Shadow Serpentis ship. Either way, it definitely was not a structure trigger.
o/ Gents,
Have the trigger changed with the new expansion Tyrannis??
Cause i haven't got a single Escalation in the Plexes and i used to have them pretty often.
Kilo, you are completely wrong. The first gate will accept any non-capital ship. Went in with a BC, no prob.

Won't take a cruiser either…..
Ok You can't take a BC into this plex…
Destroy the Serpentis Control Center to trigger the escalation. This doesn't always happen, the chances might be somewhere around 25%.
How do I get the Angel Kickback site? I shot the Shadow Serp Spy and nothing…
The [F++]Serpentis dropped a 1-run Daredevil BPC. First time I've seen this out of running this site many times.
