[bronze nova]

So not sure what is going on here, but the mining has stopped even though I am 12k under max cargo hold. As you can see I am not zero node as there is still 90k left to go. And yes this is on my Meridian.

[true rapids]

Let me guess, you are using La’an below deck?

[hoary linden]

La'an is bugged and not calculating in the UI appropriately. You get her actual benefit just UI overstates. Backend gives appropriate amount of bonus

[river crescent]

Fade you have La'an below deck?.. if so it shows a cargo hull boast but doesn't give it to you .. Scopely knows about the problem and said they are working on it..

[bronze nova]

Thanks I was not aware of that bug. Now I know.

[river crescent]

That's what scopley told me when I reported it..it doesn't give the bonus. I had screenshots before my shipped returned to the station and after and I was short 704 venom.. and when I raided a base it wouldn't like me take the max cargo hull either.

[swift steppe]

A good idea for mission log to stay where you left it, I sure wish I'd had that when I had 50 missions to work through!

[umbral wren]

A very annoying one.... I am not going to click on over 100 boxes of avatars and frames to make it go away

[bronze nova]

Funny, it had been working for me until I ran today’s update.

[fallen epoch]

Always been an issue tbh 😅

[bronze nova]

May have been, but until today I have not seen a discrepancy, the cargo indicated always worked, even with SNW Laan below decks.

[river crescent]

I had error messages like your purchase didn't go thru..when I was in the middle of grinding venom.

[quasi wren]

Means your consumables are not auto activating.

[nova sierra]

Why does my game look like this? Is there a setting I need to change to make it stop?

[nova sierra]

Actually, I think I figured it out on my own...I turned off "Extended Zoom" and it went back to normal.

[winter sigil]

Requesting new hotkey for attacking a selected ship. Also the scrolling could be much faster. Cheers.

[hoary ember]

WTF ... load times are crap ... and now all my ships are hidden.... more stupid Red things ... Jesus this update is bad, I can't even play the game. hopefully i can get in long enough to put up a shield ... oh wait the sheild button is missing too ...this sucks

See

[woeful coral]

Game is unplayable with lag at the moment. Nothing loads reliably, restarts don't fix it.

[noble berry]

Already announced

[unique current]

Is there something wrong with hemmer? With his ability I would think he would work at least as good as the other new officers. Haven’t found a combo yet where he isn’t trouble. He must be broken

[silver bramble]

After game Update.
I don't really need this Red alert sign on the avatar!
Remove this Nonsens to give a player a hint to have new avatars or frames, because these things are gadgets/nonsens. 🧐😡😤

[fallen epoch]

Some people always claimed it worked dunno how. But for most it’s been broken since she released

[pliant latch]

These are new..maybe a boost clock? Looks like we can tell how many mantis exos we have @tacit obsidian, you guys need to be touting these QoL enhancements!!!

[devout ermine]

Thank you for the red pips on avatars and frames. We really needed those. /s

[sharp ocean]

It’s listed as an improvement in the patch notes 🤣 got to love scopley logic

[wary fjord]

the buff icons are a great improvement, however they need to just show an icon for each buff instead of the +1/+2 - so you know which buff(s) you are missing

Also, buff duration needs a visual indicator, maybe by the icons fading as the buff timer decreases

[pliant latch]

Yeah not sure why only +1 & +2 show, when you could have all 3

[wary fjord]

Showing all three icons would take up as much real estate as the +1/+2 anyway 🤷‍♂️

[fallen epoch]

The support icon is 1 Exo, the +1 means 2 exos, the +2 means 3 exos

[wary fjord]

@fallen epoch I believe what @pliant latch means is displaying all three individual buff icons, so you can see which you have and which you don't have.

[bold fox]

All it shows is the Cerritos buff icon with +1 or +2 on it, which doesn't really tell me much

[fallen epoch]

Whoops misunderstood 😅😅

[wary fjord]

While on the subject of Mantis gameplay loop feedback - the exocomp icons on the Chrysalis should be viewable at max zoom too (the way Ceritos buff icons are)

See attached image - zoomed in vs. max zoom

[nova sierra]

This

[loud stag]

Are you freaking kidding me? Does this really need red pips as well?

[torn rain]

I had member of this game use bad Language at me I need something done about this send you a copy of the conversation

[vale wasp]

You should contact CS if a player is breaking the ToS. #👽-how-to-contact-support

[half ginkgo]

Thank you for including Projectile Shards in the Event Store. It's much appreciated.

[crude sandal]

You called him a cry baby, and he called you an ass... that's hardly a banning offence 😂 And I think you kinda deserved it 🤣

[mild hemlock]

Don’t shame on this discord #🌠-rules-and-roles12. Deleting post.

[pliant latch]

This makes sense if that is what it they are trying to convey. But i read +1 to mean i had only 1 exo, kinda confusing

[pliant latch]

Now this would be even better, but on phone it maybe difficult. But definitely a good idea

[fallen epoch]

Yeah I was confused too tbh. But I understood it once I only had the 1 Exo active

[pliant latch]

lol, i thought it was just a glitch

[fallen epoch]

No it’s an announced improvement 😅😅. Tbh that’s how I interpreted it from you hence my comment way above 😅

[sweet tulip]

Well, it seems the out-of-dock strength issue is back. sigh

Update: Ferri figured out that there is possibly a visual issue in which the Syndicate generator buffs are being applied to both the ship strength and cargo bay, while in dock. Despite my Syndicate level not being at the level 30 threshold yet.

[frigid perch]

With the update to allow the daily chest bit to be minimised the event and "sale" (lol) buttons are now not aligned to the right and there is a gap/ wasted space to the right. Samsung S10, Android obviously.

[uncut otter]

Can I play on my phone and PC with the same player?

[fallen epoch]

Yep. You need to link your account to ScopelyID

[lime zealot]

Same on Pixel 6 Pro... (Android 13)

And <@&509691205798592532> / <@&509691611903426561> can you pass on to ask the game to render under notches and nav bar? Black bar of nothing and squished faction store is not fun

[cunning orchid]

same on iOS

[lime zealot]

I get this is brought on by Android 13, but ew

[vale wasp]

You can ask Eco directly, no need to tag mods or CCs.

[rough belfry]

Can we please make it so that every Actian Chrysalis drops those boosts? It's hard enough to track which boost I have already hit but when you add in that not every hostile drops a boost and the timer runs out on the active ones, it gets really tedious to try and find which boosts I need to take on the Apex hostiles. Which is critical to doing the grind.

I get that yall are trying to not create another mindless grind and this is a neat way to do it. But we need more chances at getting the boosts need to make the grind work

[lime zealot]

Didn't know that, sorry! @tacit obsidian any chance of the game rendering under hole punch and nav bar on Android? Feels like there's such wasted space and everything gets squished down.

[limber pine]

Please get rid of these new red flags, they are annoying as hell. Put it back to before all these dam changes.

[candid elm]

New strike team Una is way too overpowered. Ship strength difference became too unimportant if your opponent has a battleship with st Una.
Either scopely makes it accessible for free to everybody very soon or ppl will be very frustrated due to the rising pay wall gap.

[sweet tulip]

Shhh, no she is not!! 😂😈

[molten jungle]

"Made an improvement to the Holodeck notifying Commanders when new Missions are available" - Look, I still have those 500 pattern buffers you gave out for free because the only mission that's that cheap I don't want to do. Now I have a permanent "1" notification for the holodeck I'd rather not see. Can we get another 500 pattern buffers so maybe I can pick something and have none left? The holodeck seems like the most useless building of all.

[sour dew]

Thanks for the 5 day tease Scopley. Kinda ridiculous to have this up and unavailable for 5days don't you think😅😂

[tardy finch]

Can scopely stop with those hide and slide menus and stop with those unnecessary pop up notifications on stuff you don’t need to buy if you don’t want to buy it.

[solid nacelle]

No. “Fewer” red boxes. Not more.

[feral holly]

There were free pattern buffers??

[old frost]

Whats funny with the red numbers everywhere is the lack of consistency. The newest addition, the Mantis refinery, dont have them. I’d rather have none of them 😄

[solid nacelle]

It’s not even funny at this point. It’s a terrible UI decision that does nothing but generate false alarm and to force the user to spend when they might be saving. We’ve been taught to save. Save save save because of the possibility of an event coming that would use that currency (I still dislike that I have to save ATAs). Yet, the inclusion of these badges are there to urge us to go in and resolve them by spending currency.

Further, to the point above with throwing the badge on the avatar… I’m pretty sure those who push to earn avatars and frames are aware they now have them when they claim the reward, and will then go to update their profile to show them off. The rest of us Do Not Care.

[south inlet]

Completely agree. And additionally who needs a red box reminding us how many unused frames and avatars we have?! And all the „new“ missions (with warp 1000 necessary) EVERY TIME OPENING THE GAME?

[fallen parcel]

“Fewer,” not “less.”

[south inlet]

If you could at least view those notifications just once and it wouldn't show up again after restarting... but as it is now, this game just annoys me.

[brisk glacier]

I just opened an ultra chest and it gave me 2 chests, wondering if this is a known glitch or if maybe a lucky pull had an error?

[fallen epoch]

2 chests? Got a screenshot?

[wanton dust]

Players: We don't need more red button notifications that don't go away!
Scopely: Here's a new update with more red button notifications.

[hoary blade]

To be honest I think there was only maybe two places we would have liked more before they did this red blast. But mostly I don't think we won't have the ones that are given us it'd be nice if we can turn on notifications or off notifications for different stuff 3/4 of what they had it on before I didn't need

[brisk glacier]

It happened again! But I didn't think to ss, so I'll do that if it happens a third time

[fallen epoch]

Cool thanks 😊

[nova sierra]

@tacit obsidian thanks for adding ferengi to ultra recruit

[brisk glacier]

Here you go. After the first chest, I get a second chest, which opens the exact same as any other. I've opened 50 or so chests today and no lucky pulls, so I REALLY hope this isn't taking the place of luckies

[fallen epoch]

Oh interesting 🤔 so you open 1 ultra and get 2 😬😬👀

[brisk glacier]

Yes exactly. There should be no way it says "2 chests opened", it should be 1, 3, or 5. It's not costing me extra tokens, and my game is fully up-to-date.

[vale wasp]

If the count is correct, you're not earning any extra shards either. It's just a visual bug

[brisk glacier]

I opened approximately 60 chests without a single lucky pull. It's not impossible but with a 5% chance, going 0/60 is pretty statistically significant. And when you get a lucky pull, it shows up as a "second chest" on the interface

[nova sierra]

Opened 20 ultras today no lucky. Sad day

[vale wasp]

Was waiting to see what you'd get from your hoarding, did you also use up the mantis pile?

[nova sierra]

Yeah because I am weak ship wise and there are 2 slbs I blew through the 50k mantis pile. Sadly only uhura and sspock lucky pull but inam content with that. My frank a needs it and saladin and vidar benefit too. I still got 20k ultras. Over the past few weeks of spending those I got lucky Nero which is great because as fed klg I didn't have him, so ent ata store stocks are way up now. Got a few other lucky rare pulls from ultra but nothing too crazy. Rngesus saved me with moreau. On a single premium chest I got a lucky moreau. I don't know the odds but that is incredibly slim. I believe my error of not dumping ultras for moreau before 30 is now fixed and I am back on track for her. Freshly t2

[vale wasp]

Only one more!

[worthy lagoon]

@tacit obsidian .. Another 🔴 <> "Improvement". NO MORE RED DOTS. PLEASE!!

Made an improvement to notify Commanders when a new avatar or frame can be unlocked

I don't know who asked for this, but they're WRONG.

[nova sierra]

😂 I don't know how long it'll take for moreau t3 but I expect maybe a year or at least 6 months. Ultra just got diluted again, but I can't complain as I don't have quark or rom yet. Surprised ultra is still 12 shards

[upper parrot]

Ultra should be either increased to like 15 or more officer shards, or on lvl 30 (when all the new officers appear in it) the officers available in faction recruit packs should be removed from it, so it is less diluted.

[civic haven]

I think it’s a lot easier to stomach paid content not available on release to free-to-play players if the sourcing is revealed when the content is released. For example: I would prefer 5 ship bps a week (lasting 20 weeks) starting during the battlepass when the content premiers to 10 BPs a week (lasting 10 weeks) starting 2 weeks after the battlepass has ended (6 weeks after the battlepass began). In this way, I would actually get the ship slower (during which time you could have events and packs to entice me to spend to get it sooner).

[devout blaze]

Ah a month of poorly planned and executed events and introduced "features" followed by infinite incursions garbage. Can we please can these devs and find some competent ones?

[cursive solar]

So you guys make an announcement about getting items if you sign in using email address but what about those of us that have been doing that all along?

[woeful nymph]

#justiceforBadgey 😉 We got the free stuff retroactively, check you in game gifts

[gentle pier]

🟥
that is all

[feral holly]

1 i had two chests but only got the rewards of one.
2 how do we know what level we are or improve it?

[potent silo]

It's your op level 🤦

[hollow gazelle]

Infinite Incursions planned for a Friday, on US servers. Why, Scopely? Why? 😡

[gritty carbon]

Yeah got mine, at least on one account. Guess Scopely doesn't like the [e-mail] trick for signing up for these things...

[trail garnet]

Why did we not all get the free stuff retroactively? I did not. Level 49 player

[bronze nova]

Love being discredited with a backhanded comment like that. Outstanding.

[mint sedge]

@tacit obsidian
Hello,

With the latest patch you have added a new notification icon over the avatar. It is displayed to show me that I have new frames or new avatars available.

Besides the fact that this notification is useless it is also bugged. Every time I start the game it displays the avatars and the frames I already viewed in my previous gaming session as new.

Yesterday I spent 15 minutes to click on each and every avatar and frame on my smartphone. Hooray, I made the red exclamation mark dissappeared, but when I moved to PC the notification was displayed again and guess what? All the items that I clicked on my smartphone were now displayed with NEW word on them.

Today I started the game one more time from the smartphone. The same thing happened. All the frames and avatars I visited yesterday are brand new today.

The same thing happens also with missions. Every time I start the game I have like 30+ new missions. Luckily, those are automatically marked as visited as time passes without having to actually visit that entry in the missions list. This is another strange behavior if you ask me. The status of an entry from the missions list changing without any user interaction. This your QA team should have reported it as bug.

So, I have to ask you again, STOP introducing new features and START fixing years old bugs.

By the way, it has been 2+ years since my bookmarks list is not functioning on any device. I cannot add new entries, I cannot remove existing entries from the bookmarks list. How many more years do I have to wait for this fix?

[south inlet]

Thank you for describing it. I have the same annoying notifications and „new“ stuff every time I have to open the game + the same game „news“ always conceal the alliance help button which leads to open and close the game news every time. It makes me a bit angry that they don’t listen and bring up more ❗with every update. I think I will quit soon as I don’t want to play a game that nerves me with notifications that are not quit able instead of letting me play. Too stupid for me.

[mint sedge]

Yes, the same thing happens here also. The news are always new. Even some of the officers are always new like Grush, or Quark, or Ba'el etc.

[rare coral]

So... with the addition of a huge time-sink, as well as a LOT of hostiles you have to hit with the new Mantis.. When is this extremely annoying hostile-cap going to be removed?
As a daily grind we have now:

• Actian hostiles
• Borgs
• Swarms
• dailies
• Events when they are there.
  Meaning that if you want to rep-grind.. it will be harder and harder

[echo mirage]

This is REALLY REALLY Annoying! I'm already fed up with game stopping due to 'network' issues, so it's even worse that every time I restart the game the same stupid 'new' flags are present!

[safe condor]

absolutely not, this gives us the opportunity to collect enough raw materials. Especially if you newer mine except for bonus refinery

[past bone]

Anyone having trouble logging in to the game. Nothing working for me.

[sour dew]

So are the red icons for the players who have memory issues? Or are they a distraction for the squirrels who play so the whales can take advantage? Almost as ridiculous as the pricing for game packs. Taking away lucky pulls, poor math with refinery, 15+ packs that most other games would have weekly sale events for 158 cdn for 90% of game packs that never go on sale indicates that Scopley can't afford Game Pack Sales on any Common Game Pack. It's also really annoying that I have to reset Avatars and Frames everyday just to get rid of the repeatative "New" notification on frames and icons that have already been looked at. Add on the bugs and glitches that are "Updated" in patch releases that really aren't fixed only temporary. There are a lot of unnecessary things in this game as well as useless inventory items, just like that useless token system in Romulian Territory that is ignored. Will or Does Scopley intended on improving the game positively anytime soon or will continuieto be a game favoring the wealthy?

[steel escarp]

Is anyone seeing the Mantis buffs while grinding? Mine stopped displaying today; it was working yesterday and now it is just gone.

[fallen epoch]

You mean the icon next to the mantis? 🤔

[feral holly]

All this plus the refinery notifications are doubled. Seriously how can you get so much wrong so often @tacit obsidian ?

You've even got the avatar notification to show when I look at other people's profile - there's nothing I can do on that screen 😂

[steel escarp]

Yes the icons next to the ship are no longer showing up.

[fallen epoch]

Might be sticky graphic, what happens after restart

[urban delta]

Are we ever going to get combat sound effects? Anyone heard it being mentioned as upcoming? Boring to watch combat with no sound effects.

[steel escarp]

Same issue after restart. I'll restart again and see if that helps on my next run.

[leaden lintel]

How are swarm 35s harder than 43s?

[craggy saddle]

I would think it's because the 37+ swarms are made to reflect the actual difficulty VS a Franklin a while the 35 and below don't reflect that, neither for Franklin a nor Franklin

[old frost]

@tacit obsidian any announcements planned regarding lag/instability? People are getting really frustrated and many of us are close to chucking the entire game in the trash. Just a heads up that this is being taken care of would be appreciated, as much details possible regarding how this is planning to be resolved could reassure people that it's not being ignored. My apologies if this has been asked before.

[placid dagger]

Any announcements regarding condensed venom? I don't have enough for the event and I'm not alone

[fallen epoch]

You can PvP without venom

[rose nacelle]

Mantis PVP event is Bull 💩 All it’s good for is wasting speedups.

[hoary blade]

Can we really stop with the red check marks like really I don't need this by my name I don't care if there's extra new a lot of new base plates and avatars I know they're there.. fire the guy who keeps saying we can add a red check mark to that so people know

[rose nacelle]

Nope. Just keep swiping the AMEX is all they care about

[heavy bridge]

hey how about fixing the server power leaderboards before we add another server to them next weekend

[icy summit]

New red pips are great! It'll even show you if someone else can set a new avatar 😎

[devout blaze]

Never because they obviously want the game to be a tedious grind that no one enjoys. Such caps are the ressults of incompetent design coupled with corporate greed. I am more interested in when are they going to actually adust the system overall to mach the increased tediousness of every addition they make.

[zinc swan]

UI suggestion:
Move the "home" button down by the "system/galaxy" and "interior/exterior" buttons
Give "exocomps" its own line above "shield", add timer that displays when next exocomp expires.

[sacred garden]

Tedious grinding is how they force people to pay their outrageous prices for their packs. Scopley only cares about $$$$$$$$$$$ money

[wind eagle]

scopely fix the annoying zoom issues in the game on android devices..... am not sure if such happens on iPhones... but sometimes zoom is stuck at one position, game works though, I just can't pinch in/out for zoom unless to restart the game to resolve this. This was no issue before mantis update came out....

[thick ermine]

this is porn dude wtf man

[wind vortex]

<@&509691205798592532>

[wind vortex]

Still more a bit further up, mods.
edit: cheers

[hardy scroll]

Can we fix this bs lag?

[slender stump]

Same here on EU159

[willow hull]

Let’s get this fixed. It’s a Constitution Class ship, not an Enterprise Class

[fallen epoch]

In line with how all the ops 28+ ships are labelled. That one is unfortunately correct

[willow hull]

If you go by how it’s labeled, I still gotta disagree. Just call it USS Enterprise instead. They even acknowledge it’s a Constitution Class in the ship’s description in the details section. Additionally, the Saladin reflects the actual, Canon Saladin Class Destroyer, and the Intrepid, the Intrepid Class Light Cruiser. The only difference between the Enterprise and the other two is that the Enterprise was not the lead ship of her class; the USS Constitution was.

[spice coral]

wow really?? changing syndicate xp from unlimited buys to 20 and retroactively applying it to anyone who already bought 20, thx a lot

[fallen epoch]

Always been 20 throughout the whole arc

[rough belfry]

Can we please get more warp paths in Origin Space? That would allow for different combinations of territory groupings and may spur a shake up in who controls what.

For example, why not have Saldeti connect to Bolari? Saldeti is a 1* and Bolari is a 2* so it fits within the general constraints of territory mapping. Also Zamaro connecting to Anzet would be similar.

[narrow bridge]

When are SNW Strike Team officers going into Hull Fragments to Shards refinery @tacit obsidian ?

[echo marsh]

Anyone know rev deuce discord?😃

[crude sandal]

https://discord.gg/9d4j7QpV

[remote flume]

Please make it possible to mark individual players not in alliances as ally, friendly, neutral, or enemy

[brazen prism]

Scopely intended: announcement, intended to wreck your game. Triangle system of ships no longer important. All officers you've worked for 2 years can go in the trash.. Any ship, such as enterprise and any other Explorer you've worked hard for months. Can go through the toilet, have become completely worthless. This is one of Scopely's biggest shames, a real slap in the face from any player.😡

[tribal girder]

So you send me a message today and no way to obtain her

[vale wasp]

There's an auction for her tomorrow, looks to be a hard one, she's coming with the rest of the team.

[golden bluff]

Good job Scopley you’ve done it again… ticketed events running but no tickets to join with..

[spare torrent]

Exqueeze me, but when contacting support by email you're supposed to include the unspeakably redonkulus Account ID? You people are not sane.

[tribal girder]

Tickets are in the store to buy

[golden bluff]

I’m sure they do… but why spend money on a game that still hasn’t fixed lag.. incursion servers still show on leaderboards for local servers event though those aren’t going on.. and you must restart your game so flipping often it almost makes me question why bother playing.. so if your offer is to buy these items to play I feel they should maybe step it up in there code just a bit.. since their earnings reports show they are bringing in $10 million in revenue per month… I think they can afford to make this game more fun and enjoyable.. it’s a question of do they care to, and I believe as long as this games been out the answers already been stated..

[tidal whale]

What is up with frozen hostiles and lag? Any idea when this will be fixed? Server 78...

[brittle marten]

Bad officer sourcing this month, very bad. Cant unlock via events or even buy ST Una right now. Also the lack of an SLB for S.T. La’an yet there’s another news for this officer but no event

[vale wasp]

The whole team is in an auction tomorrow.

[hoary blade]

Great.... I only need a few so it sounds like unless u comecin the top 3 forget about getting her. I already did The big battle pass came in 7th in the last one ended every event to get her and am short. So they put the old crew in here I'm sure she's going to be only in the very top slots which means I have no chance of actually completing her great

[balmy spear]

Of course.

Why make it so the horrendously imbalanced officers are once bought and owned?

They'll make more money on the people buying packs containing materials to spend to win the auction for the whole set than they would probably just selling them individually, once and done.

[vale wasp]

It ran like this last time:
https://stfc.space/events/62e5547263648381f387977f
The reward structure isn't overly hard, with even the bottom tiers getting the same couple of shards

[tepid bramble]

That is a waste of even trying 🙄. Scopy really turned the screws on the f2p/dolphins this time. Yup, got the hint scopy, we aren’t your people. 🙄

[brittle marten]

Strike Team Ortegas was in the Offers store two times this arc, So Strike Team Una should go in the store again for another chance to buy for those that haven’t..

[fallen parcel]

Is Una the new Jaylah?
😱😱😱😱😱

[snow barn]

Scumplay at it's finest .... the past 4 Latinum Antique tokens refined and they are only giving out 1 common transwarp cell .... the greed of Scumplay is ridiculous.

[tardy finch]

What annoys me and I found it out today ..that scopely decreased hull and shield health for all ships till you have a syndicate level 30.

If you don’t have mantis ship because your f2p player, it will take months or years to reach that goal.

[tepid bramble]

I haven’t noticed any drop. When did this happen?

[tardy finch]

Check your buildings, you see it is red marked, so I think and my English isn’t perfect, that scopely decreased hull etc and it will give bonus at level 30 syndicate.

[nova sierra]

It means exactly what it says, nothing has been decreased

[tepid bramble]

Yeah, it’s a crazy buff that is totally pay to win, and some folks will go for it, but it’s a buff. (One where if they keep that up and don’t find a way to source it, will kill the game with the divide that it will enlarge between whales and f2p/dolphins). But then they are locusts 😋🤌

[distant moon]

Yes seems that this is lacking information, since she's "available" but not. Seems someone forgot to include she's available soon or anything that wouldn't leave us wondering where.

[bronze axle]

@tacit obsidian the recent increases to the refinery output is very nice and much appreciated. When the refinery was increased before it became noticeable the bonus refinery output wasn’t increased as well. Was curious if the bonus refinery was increased this time be more in line with the new regular refinery output. Or do I have to wait to find out 🤣

[manic yarrow]

something trivial, but seems really weird to me: is there no kirk avatar of any sort?

[gloomy falcon]

I see people say this every time, but they're never in the store for me. Is something so banal as these tickets really ops locked?

[lime socket]

They put the info about the event in the incursion event schedule instead. So it’s there but in an illogical place.

[proud scarab]

Congrats, Scopely! All 56+ players on my server decided to NOT buy/build the rare G5-ships, those on 55 slowed down significantly - no need to go 56 quickly anymore. Big ships became obsolete with Mantis and the new officers, grinding-dailies not necessary. Many Vor’Chas and Tribunes around now. 30 mio. Newtons easily killing 100 mio. rare-G5s is not a motivation to build them.

[tribal girder]

@gloomy falcon

[tough orbit]

@tacit obsidian Scopely, we wish in the alliance a share button for our birthday children to thank all of us for the great work in the common alliance. Thank you 👍

[glass horizon]

Everyone seems to be waiting for info about how to get the Mantis for free, but what about the drydock, research and building slots?

[jolly laurel]

so the pb ovrerflow is pay only, this means desenting rods re not free, ive done with out elite pass 2 months in a row, unless your gonna shovel out 308 k points in next day, it means it never was a free path,it did same last month, so how about labeling things correctly @scopely @brittle crescents, i told you your not gettin another penny from me, i keep seeing more reasons why i should no longer play this game, i spent to much so i guess im kinda invested, but, i wont mind takin this loss, also youve seemed to stop puttin any new officers in the ldrbrds, sad, hemmer was the last one,and if anyone says they complete the overflow for free, your a liar, a shill for scopely, u need not respond.

[glad cradle]

I did it last month 100% free! I didn’t spend ANYTHING on points. I completed ALL of the battle pass events and got the the 3600 broken rods for zero dollars!

[fallen epoch]

1. bad tag. 2) bp overflow is free you just need to do all the bp events fully

[woeful coral]

The total for the BP overflow has me worried, too. But I assume there's a Domination BP event left, which gets 20k pts if I remember correctly.

[quick marten]

Those you have to buy and you should. There is no way you can keep up with out them.

[polar basin]

With the latest patch you introduced this foldable option for alliance help and gift boxes. And to make place for the UI control you moved everything to the left. Thus with that “UI improvement” you consume now more space on the screen than before. A) move everything to the right so that you fully utilize the screen or B) rollback your change

[fallen epoch]

C) Get rid of it 👀 and give us a UI change we actually want

[small silo]

server 77 is lagging

[hexed goblet]

Whats with the massive lag today 133 getting unplayable

[brazen prism]

<@&509691205798592532> will be nice to get also ship and officer experience in this power event. It's impossible to complete when you did all the buildings to complete it

[woven flare]

60k epic credits and 120k rare credits for this shower of rubbish. I'm embarrassed for scopley

[balmy spear]

Someone's gotta be, they sure ain't embarrassed for themselves.

[quick marten]

4G refinery has been really bad for the last few days, hardly any uncommon.

[quick marten]

They rally need to adjust that, seems the game is not ready for the mass to move up to 4G

[balmy spear]

Not enough people make it to G4 economy for them to care.

Most quit halfway through G3.

[blissful delta]

@tacit obsidian I have been killing hostiles and have not received any ship xp. I reset and docked and rest again. It still says zero.

[potent silo]

You should had Screenshots, it's look weird like bug, inusual. There also the 2k hostile limit day, but it shouldn't affect xp I think 🤔

[blissful delta]

No way I'm close to 2k kills.

[vale wasp]

What tier & level is your ship?

[quick marten]

Cosmic Clean Up is now worthless! There is no point of doing it for the worthless payout.

[crisp wren]

Where have all the relocation tokens in game gone? Separatist space used to provide 1-3 tokens per 50 hostiles killed and now after opening a couple hundred loot boxes from farming ZERO relocation tokens. Anyone else with this issue? Even the 24hr PC free chest that used to provide relocation tokens hasn't in at least 2 weeks now.

[hardy cloud]

How long does a person have to wait to get a response from Scopely Support on in game chat? 🙄.

[wise notch]

from experience, between 1 h and 1 week

[rustic lynx]

Can it be that the mantis still needs a buff/change?
I think the main purpose of it is to grid syndicate xp, right? On lower tiers I can get 2 chests each day, on higher tiers I cant, even with research… but xp only increase very slightly…
So Its still best to dont tier it up??? This cant be the right design!

[vale wasp]

What tier is your mantis now, and how do you know you can't pull 2x chests a day at higher development?

[subtle nacelle]

Max concentrated lat mine I can reach has a max size of 168k. Daily 2 chest refine is 350k

It’s really a massive pain that none of the numbers match up in this game. Having to mine 2 full nodes for a 2 chest pull would make a lot of sense

Same issue with warp range. My next freesha warp range upgrade doesn’t give me access to a new system … so it’s just for fun or standing in my way. Again speciality ships in particular, should have their warp drive ranges, matching the destinations

[rustic lynx]

My mantis was t4 and i could pull 2 chests, now on t5 i cant anymore (cargo upgraded allready).
If i compare the numbers on cargo and what is needed for pulls, the cargo dont increase as much as the need do for refinery…

[vale wasp]

Research maxed?

[rustic lynx]

No of corse not, but research affect every level the same… and max the cargo research will take ages… just doest look realy ballanced…

If you cant max research, what you cant without paying crazy amount of money, you get more syndicate xp per day by not upgrading your mantis???

I just did the math… from t4 to t5 the need for refinery increase about 40%, but cargo only increase by 20%, and on higher tiers it doesn’t look different.
and the increase in xp is only about 8%…

So 1.2 (cargo increase) / 1.4 (increased need) * 1.08 (increase xp per chest) is in total 0.92… thats a net loss of about 8% syndicate xp per day… cant see why upgrading should have any negative effect… and i didnt even count the increased effort for collecting in…

[brittle marten]

All three strike team in the SLB! thx for the heads up. Was worried before they wouldn’t do another slb or event

[proud scarab]

What is that whining about? 250 rare tactical cores and 200 rare G4-gas is a valuable output! „You can‘t always get what you want…“, but make use of what you get 😉

[woven flare]

I get better things from 6 rare chests for 30k than that g4 one. OK the only thing I don't get in the g3 one is the rare tactical cores

[proud scarab]

But exactly these are crucial for your ACC!

[fallen epoch]

[simple iron]

Would love TNG Picard in arc event store please

[true zealot]

Lil late for that.

[tepid bramble]

What you are seeing is standard for scopy. Everything is about diminishing returns. So NO. Do NOT tier your mantis if all you want is the xp. Just like the amalgam it is a joke. And all you will do is create a time sink with god awful rng just like everything else in this game.

[jolly laurel]

will see today, last month it did not work out that way

[fallen epoch]

Then you didn’t do all the bp events fully

[jolly laurel]

yes i have, maybe you should learn about scopely's blacklist website, tech support has confirmed its existance

[fallen epoch]

Not here to argue with someone with conspiracy theories that are false. Have a nice day 👋🖖

[nova sierra]

No points pack purchased. You’re wrong. You’ve missed an event or milestone. Message support they may be able to tell you which.

[weary niche]

<@&509691205798592532> When are they going to fix the way to get Independent credits? There are 36 of 172 officers that need these to level up; that's just under 1/4th. You can maybe get just over 300 credits a day if you have a maxed vidar and are maxed out on Augment rep. It would take 4 to 5 months just to get enough credits to promote one of the epic officers to max. More of these officers keep getting added with no fix in sight

[nova sierra]

Upgrading your ACC to a degree where you need lots of rare cores is pointless

[fallen epoch]

For me I just upgrade it to what I need 😅

[nova sierra]

Except you will need it one day. ACC 45 is a requirement for Ops 51. Don’t laugh, I did say one day 🤣

I'm at L45 in prep for L51 🙂 fortunately only L45 is required up to L60

[fallen epoch]

That’s nice

What happens at 61 👀 level 58 is needed?

[frozen lintel]

an ingame chat tab for alliances who are mutually set to ally would be cool

[rustic lynx]

Yes thats true, but until now it allways was that you have to grind way more to get a little bit more… but with mantis you have limited cargo and limited cell… its just impossible to grind more…
This is a real issue and was never ingame before as far as I know

[nova sierra]

The cargo is as limited as the research and crew you are using. I can fill 70k with 1/3 hull spare

[nova sierra]

September wants to be good or you can have my green. That is all.

[proud scarab]

Did you ever read the description of the ACC? I am just 1 level away from 7 slots 😉. Besides doing epic 51s with just 2 ships and the 7-times points you receive for armada-events.

[nova sierra]

Good for you, we do the same but share across 6 members, from L45 - L50 thats 186,500 rare cores, i'd rather stick pins in my eyes than waste that many G4 pulls

[tranquil dew]

Why oh why is the rankings stuff still broken. It’s been ages, are you trying to fix it or not? It’s not game breaking or anything but just annoying and instead in the meantime we get more red pips for useless features. Get those guys to fix that instead

[elder hornet]

What is the purpose of the Mantis? And when, if ever, will the key parts to the treasury get sold in something other than a 99$pack? It was put out you can get them but so far it’s greed express. I found it to plain crap to work at it for 5-6 months at ftp to end up 60 parts short! It’s seems 360 or 720 doesn’t divide evenly into 4000!

[rustic lynx]

The cargo is limited because of the cargo… or can you fill 90k? Or 150k? Hull is not the problem, max cargo is the problem… and with the same research lvl you cant get the same amount of syndicate xp after mantis upgrade (see my calculations)…
This is a hard cap… not like Amalgam or other ships where you just need to grind more after upgrade…

[dire coral]

The only advantage of higher lvl ACC is the added number of participants in an armada. The extra damage added per lvl is not noticeable. If you have 1000-1300% damage boost you think that extra 1% will make a difference?

[proud scarab]

Andi, the damage boost is 2% per level. I am currently at +98%. Plus: in armada-events they multiply the points by the number of participants, so 7 makes a difference over 6 😉

[nova sierra]

2% is nothing, like i said, the 96000 cores from 49 to 50 is a total waste from wasted pulls, thats 213 G4 pulls,

[woeful nymph]

The Mantis protected cargo research is complete trash. Having it % based when the base is such a terrible low number makes it utterly useless.

[fallen epoch]

That’s the thing. It’s protected cargo. When is it ever supposed to be high on a battleship protected cargo is the most useless research anyways when it comes to combat ships so no point in wasting the ions on it for the Mantis

[unborn ridge]

Having incursions on a Holiday weekend is absolutely horrendous planning

[faint ridge]

Please can 5of11 be added to transporter patterns. While she is a good officer, she is not that good, and we even have better sourcing for Lorca and tos crew now, but no 5. For grinding actians or Borg, bring able to tier her is critical to reduce the time taken

[restive echo]

is there anyway to get a second freesha warp core ? - not including the event

[flint elm]

Have scopely forgotten to increase the bonus refinery in line with the main refinery?

[weak grove]

why does the bonus refinery have the old values? it's complete nonsense

[dusty portal]

The lag is so bad you can’t even refine

[vagrant gyro]

@tacit obsidian I expect the feedback to be ignored as that would.mean the Dev's actually have tonpretend they care about the players, the lag , freezing and crashes today are beyond a joke

Wow they have even enabled slowmode.....

[velvet sonnet]

unplayable right now, had to restart my game 4 times to do bonus exchange ( normal exchange was better btw.)

[midnight delta]

@tacit obsidian Wow can you all fix the lag, in order to change from one screen to the next I time out and have to reboot each time on the PC and my Android

[fallen epoch]

Nope. It was never planned to receive an updated. Should it be updated? Yes

[balmy spear]

So what you're saying is... just skip the bonus refinery and don't waste raw mats.

Got it 👌

[vale wasp]

It's still a bonus that might have value for some players. But raw mats is also an important resource that shouldn't be wasted. Refine as much as you want with that in mind

[woeful nymph]

It's a good excess materials dump fi you have it sitting around. Clearly not going more than 1 chest for 4 star

[fast cedar]

Hey Devs why was Strike Team Una only offered ONCE in the store but Strike Team Ortega was offered THREE different times? Are y’all going to be coming out with sourcing for her or at the very least put a pack in the store so I can buy it? I was waiting for it to pop back up but it never did. Now I’m stuck 2 shards short

[tough orbit]

@tacit obsidian Scopely, you guys have been having massive problems for weeks. We can't play properly several times a day because the servers are hanging. This is not a network problem. Without a decent server infrastructure, you can't get the issue under control. Please fix the issue immediately or you will lose a lot of players. Thank you.

[vagrant gyro]

Loss of players means less spent in the over priced store

[red gull]

I would very much like to obtain the Feesha Salvager refit. But it is never available. Not as an event reward, item exchange, mission reward nor a purchasable pack in the store. Will it ever be available? How long will i have to wait? Months/ Years? What do I need to get it?
I keep checking both stores (the webstore and the in app store) but always disappointed. Is it a lost cause?

[molten jungle]

🤣 A million ways to say a million

[robust knoll]

Kind of like that moment when it says my Augur is 4M, but really it's 3.6M when I check. Oh, the false hope that it magically gained power overnight. 😄

[winter gale]

It seems that the Mantis exocomps from killing the hostiles are having issues activating again today, is anyone else seeing this?

[dusty prawn]

Now after the release of these battleship officers, who clearly makes the augur destroying every enterprise, will there be coming new explorer/interceptor officers aswell? 👀

[nova sierra]

They comin

[young sequoia]

any chance on getting radar in this game?

[true zealot]

Zoom out...its as radar you gonna get..

[dusty prawn]

Just a joke that you have 0 shield vs strike team Una at round 4

Don’t think it was ever officially released

Needs more drunken Borg in new trailer 😜

[polar basin]

If it is time for a new arc, maybe STFC can do more for Ops 50+ players. Swarm stalls at Ops 50 and becomes irrelevant at Ops 52. Vidar nice ship until Ops 45 but needs a successor with bigger refinery at Ops 50+. Resource Optimization Research is pretty much also over. One thing I do not want to see are officers or ships that extend warp range. The recent introductions have created a lot of harm. @tacit obsidian
Ah, and while I am at it, I dislike Mantis and Cerritos for PvP - brings nothing as everyone has it. pure money pit

[steel escarp]

@tacit obsidian When are we getting a fix for all these red numbers everywhere? Not only are they ridiculously excessive but the numbers are not even accurate in all the place. I will often have Refinery counts that are not accurate.

[dusty hedge]

Same. It's poor.

[fast cedar]

Hey Eco what’s the deal with the Strike Team Una pack only being offered once but strike team Ortega offered 3 times? Also, 2 shards short because of the BS change to officers for ticket events. Seriously super shady of them to do.

[tired nexus]

General feedback…spent 23k on game and Scopely deleted my account…now I’m coming for them☠️

[feral holly]

Feels like there's more to the story than this

[native gorge]

The lack of ways to get strike team shards beyond $50-$100 packs is ridiculous.

[hoary blade]

Need to up date and give rewards that fit level and are fighting on both the pve and PVP box's

[olive falcon]

when are you gonna fix the random internet dropouts?

[vagrant gyro]

Notice the total radio silence from @tacit obsidian and Scopley to all the complaints from yesterday, not even an acknowledgement

[wary fjord]

@tacit obsidian - Some additional Mantis feedback after a week or so of doing the grind -

1. Either

• The buffs granted from the Mantis need to be increased in duration significantly. I'm talking 10-15 minutes at the minimum (personally, it should be jump into system, pick up buffs and they remain until you leave system)

or

• remove the chrysalis ships that don't give buffs (so every chrysalis provides a buff) and provide more randomization in terms of the buffs that spawn

With 2-3 players competing in a single system you can often go 5-10 minutes without specific buffs spawning, as the buffs always seem to spawn in groups - e.g. if I'm solo grinding a system you'll end up with 10 ships that provide +100% shots per round. 10 minutes later you'll have 10 ships that provide +100% critical chance, and it cycles around like that.

2. Actian Apex's (the interceptors) need to be able to spawn more than 1 per system at any time. If you have multiple people grinding in the same system (which is a given considering there's only 1 system per level) then filling up your Mantis takes forever.

These are both serious pain points right now when there is only people grinding who paid to unlock the Mantis - it's going to be significantly worse when everybody has access to the Mantis and there's 2-5 people competing in every system.

Also, people with stronger g4 ships can just camp the interceptors while the mantis still has to go around collecting the buffs

[terse wing]

These Strike Team officers are ridiculous.... they have effectively nerfed several officers, e.g. Georgiou is now pointless once you have ST crew... overpowered hugely for officers who are relatively unknown in the wider Star Trek Universe... if they'd done voyager and made 7 of 9 overpowered I could swallow it

[brittle marten]

I think many players are just shy of unlocking ST Una, and I saw Ortegas was offered a lot in the store so it would be more fair to offer Una again since many were waiting to buy...

The xSLB for Strike Team was awesome. 👍 But the lopsided Sale of one Rare officer and not the other isn’t great.
The game is more balanced everyone has a chance to unlock or buy the officers, and nobody knew at the time of the 1st sale for ST Una that she wouldn’t be offered again (thus far).

I bought the Elite bp and did a little bit of the xslb with events so i got the una unlock but again the multiple Offers Sale of ST Ortegas and lack of Una for sale is throwing everyone off

[cinder citrus]

Next bonus refinery, can you make sure the bonus refinery has the same updated values like the regular refinery?

[craggy saddle]

Eco is already talking with the team about that

[sudden relic]

Imo Una's officer ability is too strong % wise.
Setting it lower to around 15% each round would still give the benefit to battleships, as it will bypassed shield mitigation completely after r7, but a r4 100% shield bypass with a t1 officer is too much. Maybe maxed una can do that, but not T1!
And its not even important to use her as captain. i.e. use synergy. which could help too. you know, forcing a few downside to using a such impactful ability.

[untold orbit]

My suggestion would be to just remove the cumulative part on all the ST. Double shots and 25% shield ignore is already pretty strong.

[sudden relic]

Cumulative stats ain't bad. It allows you to use certain strategies, like punching up against high hp low dmg targets due to the long fight.
Often you can counter those this by using hart hitting combos to end fights early or counter it with officers like Yuki. 3
But Yuki forces you to use her as captain, use synergy officers to make her ability stronger AND her ability is just not as strong.
Una can be used without synergy, T1 way to high %, and doesn't require captains chair.

it would be nice if you had to choose between double shots or shield mitigation bypass (either una or laan as captain) and would have to use synergy to achieve a good ability

[untold orbit]

It isn't bad in general, just on the ST since the % is so high. The only counter is kill it within 3 turns before you get het by 5x the normal number of shots that completely ignore tour shield.

[vale thorn]

Greetings @tacit obsidian,

I'm a european player hailing from Senate-181. I very rarely take to sending complaints via pms and definitely enjoy the STFC aspects of pvp. I also enjoy challenges and embrace them, simply because they help us with growing and development. That being said, I have travelled a long ingame way to get where I am standing today. Therefore, I would like to raise the awareness of a newly implemented imbalance, caused by the new Strike Team officers. They not only tip the turn of a battle, but rather completely overthrow game mechanics. I find it rather difficult to comprehend, how a lower tiered ship, lower in level as well as class, could nearly win against a much stronger ship in direct battle. Not to mention, that I will most likely have conducted a superior research. I would ask for Scopely to look into this matter and make according adjustments or we will soon be seeing more and more players leaving the game.

Best regards,
Dal

[noble berry]

@tacit obsidian any updates on the merger? Even found someone who got a screenshot of the notification.

[balmy spear]

"Growing and evolving game"

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[dusty token]

@tacit obsidian mantis systems need to be consistent. I went in yesterday and buffs activated as soon as I hit the buff ships.

I went back this morning and had to collect the buffs and get them from the consumable tab. Saved up 5 or 6 of each, repaired my ship.

Just went back now and all my saved consumables are gone,.but I still have use them from the consumable tab.

Same device,.so it isn't a platform issue

[lean pilot]

and active buffs with remaining timer need to be visible somewhere when selecting the mantis. I don't want to have to try to remember the last time I hit certain hostiles with certain buffs. Seems like an easy display fix.

[weak grove]

@tacit obsidian Could you please tell the devs, that is would be most appreciated if the server leaderboards get cleaned after the incursion events?
we for example hat incursion with 168 and 165 and now we will have alliances of both servers in our board, which makes thinks very confusing

[crude sandal]

logout/in seems to remove whatever stack of consumables you have from when they glitch out and stop auto-applying.
It's been pretty stable for me so far, but the first time out with the ship it was hit and miss whether or not the buffs applied auto or needed manual intervention 😐
Only way around it til they fix it (and it is a bug/temp work around that they've done there to let us manually add them per session I expect) is to stay zoomed in a little for me to see when a buff drops, and watch it like a hawk 😦

[dusty token]

Yes, annoying. It was working fine at the last update. And I didn't log out, the game crashed. Either way, my stash vanished

When will Scopley if ever fix the loot drops on ship build plans? I mean it is ridiculous to have BP for ships you have no use or reason to build when your 10 levels or more than there max. I mean I can build 112 Kehras, 76 Vahklas, 42 Kumari, 36 Envoys, and 35 Horizons! There must be a way to convert these unused BP into something usefull without the stupid idea of build them and scrape.

Not a fan of this flash battle pass, character wise. Think I will save my £8.99 this time. Would have been nice to have been able to source Tal or Jaylah. If you want to miners I would have been happier with 3 of 11 and 4 of 11. What about Mavery, haven’t even seen a event for him seen he was released. Just my thoughts.

[nova sierra]

I think that since Maniken is unobtainable she is not a bad choice for this ofp, then I remember that she is unobtainable by design from the same people that are offering her now, so at the end I don't know what to think about it
All in all I don't think that having a flash pass between normal passes is a good thing, this should be buffer time

[balmy kernel]

Any chance to get some news on the alliance star bases? @tacit obsidian Quiet since the roadmap

[sacred garden]

Why have officers with base defense abilities if they can’t be assigned to them the base? It’s stupid, since assignments to ship is not a base so technically they and their abilities are useless. Since technically they are assigned to a ship not a base so abilities technically don’t work.

[ocean onyx]

Need some help!!! If you have your existing player ID, the long string of letters and numbers, can you restore your profile yourself? I play on a Kindle Fire, and was hoping to cross play on my PC, which I downloaded the game. When I attempted to link the two with my e-mail address, it restarted both tablet and PC as new, so I have no access to the old profile, but I had saved my Player ID, etc.
I also sent a trouble ticket to Scopely, but some say it might take days

[fallen epoch]

Contact CS. They can sort out account issues

[vale thorn]

Seriously? This is simply absurd.

[ocean onyx]

I did, someone on my specific server Discord mentioned they have been waiting since Thursday

[sacred garden]

Umm I think y’all forgot the snw struck team officers in the mantis refinery for snw officers

[naive stream]

Nice bait and switch.... The picture shows the Strike Team Officers, but the store doesn't have the shards. It's like they aren't even trying to hide the mistakes at Scopely anymore.

[fallen epoch]

Maybe it’s coming in the future? Maybe it’s a mistake 🤔

[brittle marten]

Well I thought ST Una was a rare officer, but I only see Ortegas.
There must be a mistake

[naive stream]

Too many maybes.... Mistakes seem to be the name of the game these days.

P.S. Slow mode is WAY too slow. How can we reasonably respond to comments when we have to wait 3 minutes at a time?

[wind vortex]

Clearly the 20% advantage the existing combat triangle gave wasn't enough so they introduced expensive officers and gave the whales a way to make it 300% instead.

[mortal helm]

Lol it's no mistake any more than not letting any officer be sourced by gameplay plus tickets plus the elite bp was.

[analog bolt]

I don’t know who from Scopely, if anyone, reads this “feedback” channel, but today I am $2,500 wealthier as I have not bought 1 pack in 2 weeks. While the monthly pack is going to come out I have yet to decide if I am going to buy that.

Why? Mantis.

Y’all took a G3 ship and made it capable of assisting in killing a G5 ship with little or no difficulty.

Y’all have lost about 20 players from our server OPS 49+, y’all have turned me into a F2P player. All because of a $70 ship.

Companies like yours will not survive if you stop listening to the customers who buy your product. I can point to many products in the marketplace that are no longer here 5 - 10 years after because people stopped buying their product. If that company fails to adapt that company is no longer here.

You may not notice a small server like ours is affecting your bottom line. But I sure did. I spend money on things I enjoy doing/playing/experiencing. You guys killed that for me.

So I’ll stick around as a F2P Ops 54 for awhile. After all, it costs nothing to stay. But you’ll get no more money from me until you fix this ship.

This doesn’t mean releasing another ship to counter this, or add research. Just limit its abilities to 1 or 2 rounds. How about Venom failing to infect the ship? Anything more restrictive than what you are doing now.

You hot-fixed the inability of G5 to hunt in mantis territory. You hot-fixed cargo. Hot fix this before you lose all your paying customers.

Pink mines are back again ! Thought they fixed that 😡. @tacit obsidian can that team look at that before launching ds 9

[fervent helm]

But why? It just be nice to unlock him, I may never use him but as a collector it’s annoying.

[fallen epoch]

One of his abilties was really broken

[sour dew]

Why is this system still inaccessible? Why hasn't Scopley done something about this after so many years?

[nova sierra]

Cos you don’t have an Arena Warp Cell.

[fallen epoch]

Error 404

[wary fjord]

can we please have some of these sourced soon? We haven't had any since the original arc they were released.

[craggy saddle]

Not entirely true, but still, we need sourcing

[eager wave]

Hey, had a real whinge first day of the arc when it looked like a decent chunk of the events would be locked behind buying the new ship so in the spirit of fairness, and credit where it's due, many thanks for changing that.

[crude sandal]

they basically pulled it and left them as a legacy currency when they changed ATAs to refresh immediately rather than being gone until the 12hr reset, right?

[jagged gust]

Please make sure that in any actian system there is one of each three mini-exo's in the system or at least about to spawn, it's so annoying when for literally 20min not one +100%CC spawns in but 10 +50%CD hostiles

Note:
It feels like you cut the spawn rate in half since the end of SNW3 arc

[quick marten]

Payback time Whales!!! 😂

[analog bolt]

Nothing to payback for. We just won’t be around and then the game dies due to lack of financial support. Personally I don’t care one way or another. But your comment shows your lack of this simple understanding.

[slate chasm]

In addition the drop rate needs to be like 100%. I just went 13 kills without a silk drop

[jagged gust]

Look in your exocomp menu, that's one of the bugs that they often don't automatically activate

[sacred garden]

One of the areas you need to fix is armadas. It used to be you do a uncommon to get rare armadas and rare to get epic. But now you have it screwed up so bad the only armadas it gives is epic

[nova sierra]

eclipse armadas has always worked this (strange) way

[slate chasm]

No I was looking in the exo menu and I was looking at the drops in my battle log... I just simply got cucked by RNG but RNG sucks when you spend a token to get to a system

[fallen epoch]

What’s the issue there? You got your exocomp, it’s a 100% drop

[jagged gust]

That's sth that never happend to me or anyone in my alliance, which system was that in?

[random lintel]

Kinda on the armada topic, @tacit obsidian It would be awesome to see swarm madas reworked. The problem is no one runs them because people don't want to use rare directives. It'd be cool to see them take a new swarm mada directive. These could drop from your swarm dailies (or sold of course). Rewards drops could be Jaylah and maybe RSS tokens or something else. I would love to see people actually running swarm madas, I've only ever see 1 person do them. (A 50+ that didn't wanna do dailies)

[nova sierra]

It's actually a good thing. As you say, less whales, less time this game survives. We can all be free sooner

[autumn burrow]

Everyone has a lot of old, worthless currency. Please let us convert it into some useful.

[wary fjord]

I commented on this yesterday - whole bunch of Mantis improvements need implementing otherwise when it does become f2p it's going to become such a farce.

[wary fjord]

here @jagged gust

[wary fjord]

oh, I agree - there's already so many flaws with the Mantis gameplay loop, but it'll get 1000% worse when everybody has a Mantis and is trying to do the loop, which is why it needs addressing now.

(stupid slowmode timer)

[random lintel]

Just keep pushing higher and you won't have to deal with them until they catch up (probably a year). I'm doing 37s and I don't have to deal with most of the people now. But I do like your suggestions. Think they would really help. I've gotten into a system with no crit exo and just been like welp, i'm screwed.

[nova sierra]

@tacit obsidian

you need to buy two different pack to unlock both rare officers, just 119.98$/€

[quick marten]

Personally I like the changes that the Mantis brought. It was a suggestion that I made to Scopley over a year ago. Lower level players must have a way to strike back at the Whales in order for the game to be fun for everyone.

[vivid terrace]

Why does Mantis refinery only pay out 50% of Condensed Venom needed to do dailies?

[vale wasp]

That allows for something to be sold in the cash shop that can provide you with the capability to do the dailies every day.

While it may not be the reason it sure looks compelling enough

[vivid terrace]

Might look compelling as an answer, but not compelling as a player 😂

[frigid perch]

Yep,I need 5 shards to unlock Una, sure as anything not buying 93 for £90 to unlock her Scopay 👍🤦‍♂️

[crude sandal]

Aim for every other day for optimum payout for officers or more spaced out if you plan on using it for PvP 😑

Same principle as cloak dailies though, you can't do them both constantly

[obsidian plinth]

Then they gave the whales the ST crew, which completely negates anything the Mantis can do if you have a battleship

Never one to lose out on a paycheck by levelling things

[woeful coral]

I'll echo the irritation about only the elite unlock appearing in the $$ store. Heck, I might have even jumped on the $50 unlock pack if feeling it later were it there, but now, nah. I can wait.

[bronze nova]

Unless you could not afford one. Then it just adds to the whales griefing.

@tacit obsidian legit question, does scopley ever plan to balance pvp?

[analog bolt]

Another $100 saved.

[stoic pebble]

Until the whales get upset and it’s nerfed into pointlessness. Georgiou anyone..

[quick marten]

The Whales just spend more and get ahead of everyone else! How about play the game and not race to the top?

[woeful coral]

This needs to stop happening.

[wind vortex]

If only we had a Borg Probe model in the game we could use. Oh well nevermind.

[cursive geyser]

Would it be possible to get an extension to spend the tokens from the last battle pass event?

[wind vortex]

Nope, but they may reuse them at some stage, no promises.

[vale wasp]

If you still have actian keys, contact CS and see if they can help. Use an option in #👽-how-to-contact-support

[zealous trellis]

Latinum Antique Refinery, with a 5 day cooldown, with a T9 Vi'dar should never just give a single basic Transwarp Cell..........................

[nova sierra]

it sometimes gives you only some resources and no cells at all

[zealous trellis]

I'd rather replace the TWC with literally anything else. Give me more lucrative.

[uneven plume]

This game is not getting to be a complete shambles the lag is getting ridiculous it’s about time you sorted the game out

[craggy axle]

@tacit obsidian I planned on getting ST Una. I’d love it if timers were actually advertised correctly. Yesterday the ST Una pack had a 24hr timer. This morning it’s gone…..

Dax posted about it at 1230 yesterday afternoon…. I looked last night and there was 16hrs left, woke up this morning and it’s gone.

[fallen epoch]

Already escalated

[sour timber]

Is there a timelimit to buying the elite battlepass for the flash pass? Trying to find it in the store and it's not there.

[vale wasp]

That missing ofp offer is probably related to the missing officer offers, it's been escalated

[sour timber]

Fair enough. Thanks for the quick response.

[craggy axle]

Thank you

[quartz creek]

officers are back. BP stuff still missing

[rough belfry]

@tacit obsidian I heard recently from Rev that Scopely think Strike Team Una is working as intended. And that seems extremely off to me. Let me try to explain. So as of right now STUna's ability is cumulative. Which means at T1 she causes you to ignore all shield by round 4. That by itself is extremely powerful and only have 1 other officer that comes close to that, Harrison at T5. But even Harrison only works for the 1st round, not all rounds. And Yes STUna requires you to use a battleship but that is hardly any restraint on the ability. So she is by far the best officer out there, hands down and you don't even need to tier her up. She completely eliminates a major factor in pvp battles, a ship's shield and completely wipes the previous meta for pvp. Something that players plan for months in building. It was all wipe out with STUna working like that.

Now let's look at what happens when you tier her up. Her ability goes from increments of 25% to 27%, 30%, 34%, 40%. So only at T4 will you see any noticeable difference is her ability as she will then ignore all shields by round 3 instead of 4. That sort of scaling seems weird which makes me think her ability shouldn't be cumulative.

Now if STuna's ability was static instead of cumulative. We can compare STUna to TOS Uhara. Uhara's ability does similar, it reduces the amount of damage that is transfer to shields but only if the ship has morale, at T1 8% and increase to 10%, 12%, 16%, 20% . So Uhara can work on any ship but she requires a second officer to grant morale. In comparing STUna to Uhara, STUna's ability varies between x3 to x2 as strong tier to tier but STUna works by herself whereas Uhars requires a second officer. So even then STUna is arguably better but perhaps not outright the best. But at least it brings her into the general range of power of the existing officers.

I strongly urge Scopely to reconsider how STUna works and make her ability static. Thank you for your time. Even with the proposed nerf. STUna is extremely powerful and a desirable officer but not game breaking.

[craggy axle]

Mini Battle Pass? I noticed ST Una, but did not see the pack for the mini battle pass return. Based on previous battle passes, I am under the impression battle pass packs should be available for the duration of the event series

[fallen epoch]

Yep still missing

[craggy axle]

Ok, thank you. Just wanted to make sure the intent was to push it back out. 👍

[small heron]

@tacit obsidian
If you guys decide to turn PvP upside down with Strike Team, ok.
But at least give players a chance to buy them for a reasonable price.
I need two shards to unlock ST Una, why should I buy a 100 buck pack just to unlock her get her to tier 2 without any difference of having her at tier 1.
Also some better communication about possible Officer sourcing or possible counter to these extremely op Officers would help us to make at least some plans on how to move on and make the right decision about which ships to get, how to invest our res etc.
Thank you

[nova latch]

€20 Monthly reward pack missing from store for a second month running.

[wide marsh]

Scopely decided that you might be willing to drop 100 if they took the 20 pack away from you.

[vale wasp]

You'll probably never be offered the 20 pack again. Offers are tailored to players' style and spending habits

[wide marsh]

Except they aren't really. I don't buy anything that is over $100 in the store and never will, but I also don't see the $20 pack offered. I think it went away the month I decided to give the $5 pack a try about 2 years ago.

[nova latch]

I'm not the kind to let the matter rest. If they arre offering it to some then they should be compelled to offer it to all

[vale wasp]

That's up to you, but there are probably hundreds of offers not made to you. And they won't, they're not level-appropriate.

[nova latch]

There's nothing level specific in the reward pack. A few materials and latinum every day. You might have a point if they contained blueprints for 2 star ships or ship parts, not the case here.

If some can buy a pack like this, all should be able to buy it

[waxen kite]

WHY are they still pushing the "specific system" gameplay in incursion event? are they even aware that in some brackets there is not enough players to pvp with and it ends up asking someone to come so you finish your and his event with least ammount of rss consumed or weakest ship... why why why arent they listening to their community , rework that part of event or completely remove it because its TOO MUCH TIME CONSUMING for the reward you get in end.

[kindred prairie]

its TOO MUCH TIME CONSUMING for the reward you get in end
So, every SMS/SLB/ALB? They're misers to a fault.

[acoustic cloud]

Very sneaky putting this garbage in an "epic PvP officer" pack.

Not a PvP officer, epic in colour only. Any way to get a refund/swap?

[sleek sorrel]

No fix to Galaxy chat before incursions start tomorrow?

[umbral wren]

Lol not a single offer offered to me matches my style or spending habits... So they need a new Taylor lol

[quick marten]

DS9 is coming? Too much new contents to quick!

[molten jungle]

Please clean up the server’s players and alliance leaderboards post incursion. It makes it hard to do any recruiting with other server’s people in there.

[median eagle]

Please fix Mantis exodus back to auto and/or massively increase the apex spawn rate. That grind is tedious in the extreme

[slow nimbus]

Yeah, it has gotten a tiny but better as I've tiered and researched, but bottom line it's like they said, "like borg probes, but worse." This grind might just be too frustrating for me to keep up with. They either need to add at least one more apex at a time and, ofc, fix the bugs like exos not activating.

[true zealot]

I like that I need to look for certain hostiles...in order to do better. Now if only they'd show up.

[slate chasm]

Yeah the mantis grind is stupid. Typical scopely not respecting the players time with every release

[random pilot]

Isnt the apex re-spawn rate only a few seconds? Although there is only 1 active per system.

[slate chasm]

Yes they respawn fast but if you are in a populated system with multiple people grinding (which given how slow the grind is unless you dropped money on the mantis happens quite frequently) 1 isn't. If I got a system to myself it's kinda alright less the flying half way across the system to hit the next one

[alpine elk]

@tacit obsidian I completed all of the bp including ticket events and participated in the slbs & purchased the £20 elite bp track, doing all of these players were promised to unlock a rare officer however I did not get to unlock either rare officer, when will scopley gift me the remaining shards to unlock one rare or refund me for not delivering a product I paid for as advertised by scopley?

[peak narwhal]

Game is crashing every minute atm!!!!

[nova sierra]

Let me save you the trouble; spending the $20 is equivalent to taking $20 bills and setting fire to it.

[nova sierra]

Where did you see them as “promised”?

[fallen epoch]

Rares? No 🤨 never

[manic yarrow]

Hey guys…error in the faction store graphic. Check out my crystal/gas pull

[terse wing]

Mantis more annoying than usual today as Buffs aren't accumulating... very irritating and wasting beacons to get the grind done

[polar basin]

No error

[red cliff]

Just me or is the game down

[alpine elk]

Scopley put the statement out after making some of the alterations of the events which was on day two….I think and no I don’t have a ss, wish I took one (lesson learnt 😂)

[wide marsh]

The SS have been posted on this discord a few times. I'd have to scroll around a lot to find them, but I've seen them here.

[nova sierra]

I don’t recall anything specifically for this month.

[alpine elk]

I must learn to ss scopley statements 😂

[wide marsh]

It was in the initial release notes that one of the rare officers (I forget which) would be attainable through just the battlepass purchase (if I remember right).

[nova sierra]

Will see if I can get any validation on this, but don’t hold your breath. 😆

[wide marsh]

I'm not. My first job out of college taught me never to trust the corporation. Nothing in the 25 years since has taught me any different. Nothing is final until it is over.

[ebon ember]

Its was epic ST Laan, they removed that paragraph after a week or so. Was raised with Eco many times and he ignored it every time.

[cyan portal]

Not the best wording as you needed to place in the slb to get shards not just participate but not wrong

[barren shard]

I must insist the SHeild suppression not be a thing. Not on all the time nor do I feel I should have to move my base in order to not participate. We had a non participation method called , Shields before you decided to break it for the craphole events that are incursions

[hollow pike]

Epics are never given for free. Tendi was the closest to it but you had to complete a whole series of specific events to get her, not just buying a battlepass

[true rapids]

4 of 11 and 11 of 11 also had SMS-only guarantees being able to aquire them, don't remember if it was 2 or 3

[ebon ember]

I never said they were free. Was responding to someone who mentioned the in-game news that was removed.

[alpine elk]

This is it, yea so I placed high ish in the slb, got the elite bp and completed all events and ticketed event but just shy off an unlock……..knew I saw it somewhere! 🤣 I won’t lie tho I thought it was for a rare officer not an epic

[ebon ember]

They removed the ST officers from the last round of ticketed events so many missed them by 1 or 2 shards.
Again Eco was asked about this and ignored it.

[robust knoll]

Turtling by opposing server makes this event one of the worst ones

[woeful nymph]

It's all about who finds the largest unshielded bases first, and who has the large enough whales to drain them fast or defend them.

[azure hamlet]

I’m not receiving the awards

[fallen epoch]

Restart your game

[woeful nymph]

Restart your game. There was a fix

[azure hamlet]

I did thanks

[robust knoll]

Yeah, I mean the experience as a whole. I couldn’t care less about winning or losing. Sitting there looking around 100 systems for someone to score some dmg with suuuuucks. Would much rather lose to an active server than win against a ghost town

[tight egret]

Nevermind

[kindred nacelle]

Epic fail on this incursion. No PVP systems and nobody is playing. Mantis is stupid and causing people to sit out. Just when I was starting to enjoy it Scoply's twist on ships made it worthless

[nova latch]

More discriminatory behaviour from Sopely. Only pack with incursion tokens in my store is €100

The Pope will become a Lutheran before I buy that!

[potent silo]

That have nothing to do on that discord, it's between you and your allies ^^ report to your leadership.

Is the game down on server 82/79?

[fallen epoch]

👀

[south depot]

Is it possible to come back from KOS?

[nova latch]

Its the other players ob your server who create ROE not scopely. As such it is those same players who de cide who should be marked as KOS. Every server has different routes to redemption

If you are below level 12 you have the option of changing server and starting anew

[wooden dust]

How does a player give feedback about these incursions? I would at least like to voice my opinion on how it affects a lower level player,( yes I believe level 28 is lower level when I am facing level 35's). And our lack of ability to influence participation.

[fallen epoch]

Leave something in #1001233195834032230

[wooden dust]

Thanks Night! I did

[quasi wren]

Not sure of other servers but I feel Scopely is trying to be economical with 15 & 8. So much so that they rolled back the connection to 80’s dialup. The lag was so bad that I spent 10 min wondering if my ship blew up or did I win the battle

[torpid kestrel]

Honestly scopely u need to protect minors from incursion game. Big ships are brought over and minors are no match. So that part of game is not playable. I do not like incursion game is it dis functional. Just put in pvp systems that play tournaments for points and prizes. Focus it not to negatively impact overall game but enhance it to motivate pvp play for matched players and ships

[devout blaze]

Incursions are meant to motivate rage spending and profits for the company. That is it there is nothing positive about them. They are garbage money grab idea created by garbage development team. They only served to further highlight their gross incompetence.

[woeful coral]

RevDeuce intends to have another player survey after this one, too. That will probably be the avenue that gets the biggest response.

[devout blaze]

The first survey had an overwhelmingly negative response and we still have these garbage events. What makes you think they're going to listen this time?

[ebon ember]

The first survey was pointless. Especially when the results were basically false/made up. The second survey will be no different.

Game logged me out and can't get back on fantastic

[feral mason]

There's nobody there to read this.

[last spindle]

Yeah, points do not tally, getting a communication error constantly and have been kicked off multiple times with issues logging back in

[woeful brook]

This reminds me of Plarium. A complete lack of customer service. A frigging joke. <@&509691205798592532>

[burnt bane]

Not a single event is scoring
Game keeping kick me out
Faction Hunt during incursion

An average day in scopely’s world

[sudden depot]

SCOPELY you owe us for this disruption.

[frozen schooner]

A great gift would be 50 Mantis bp 😆

[lucid pelican]

some peoples kids

[plucky token]

Continuous logouts and fails on Server 49. Incursions was pretty boring… add the insult of not being able to get back to gameplay… smh. Cmon Scopely. Considerable recompense is required for this absurdity.

[nova sierra]

a gift for people who aren't 30+ would be nice too

[regal patio]

s13 server down??

[quick marten]

I think all servers are experiencing issues.

[kindred geode]

Everyone is having issues, that’s the way Scopley likes it. Spend that money and we might fix it

[plucky token]

@tacit obsidian or anyone… some acknowledgment that there’s an issue and it is being worked would be an appropriate response right now.

[nova sierra]

communication from scopely regarding the technical issues immediately following incursion is grossly overdue

[summer bridge]

Performance as excpected. Im waitinfg for the apology chest

[lucid pelican]

go outside, take a walk

[quick marten]

Free Mantis for everyone!!

[devout blaze]

Do they even bother giving those anymore? From what I can tell their service much like their stability have all gone to garbage.

[unkempt orchid]

Is there a server issue?

[vale wasp]

Yes, but much of the problems are going away.

[quick marten]

No, the red led is blinking normally on those raspberry pi 1.

[normal harness]

As if it matters, but server 78 also not responding to login requests (hangs @ "charging warp engines 60%)

[fervent sorrel]

@tacit obsidian The event store isn't showing up

[noble ridge]

I'd like to presume that they're going to go back and factor in people who didn't collect the five chests from their dailies? At first it showed I had mine and now it doesn't

[shrewd nymph]

Completed 3 events and not registered a single point for any of them

[median eagle]

They really aren't, any boost in performance is due to the numbers that have logged off for the rest of the weekend.

Even if the servers get boosted, the decision to run Faction Hunt and other time intensive PvE events alongside it was an abject failure of event design (and for an event that most feedback from players is showing isn't wanted).

Incursions has been a failure and Scopely need to learn from it. It's desirable for the long term success of the game to try new things. It's foolhardy to keep pushing an event that breaks the rest of the game and that's massively unpopular with the player base.

[nova sierra]

i think the idea of incursion was great but scopely simply isn't competent enough to fix existing content, much less introduce new content

[tacit fulcrum]

I concur. This event needs to be suspended and overhauled.

[true zealot]

Cosmic store isn't up? But event is? Shards of the strike team should make it right.

[sturdy swallow]

I helped performance. I quit after incursions yesterday. Too many years of Scopely giving those of us that don’t like PvP the middle finger. Incursions easily could have been done in a war area and restricted to that for points.

[chilly heron]

Have they fixed points not accumulating

[golden bluff]

Scopley makes 10mil per month in profits but yet can’t afford to make the game run smoothly.. clearly they must not be making enough money guys that’s gotta be the problem..

[kind tapir]

@tacit obsidian can we do something to improve pvp loot chests. After this incursions event and all the intense battles, it baffles me that my loot chests were full of G3 parts and g2 ship bps for killing G4 ships. Can we pump up the rewards for these expensive battles.

[regal turret]

We are receiving no rewards for events.

[edgy harness]

Working as intended

[regal turret]

Absolutely

[edgy harness]

Also, please do not submit tickets or comments regarding the lack of Jaylah shards in the swarm events despite the fancy splash screen noting you can earn jaylah shards. There’ll be a $99.99 pack for 10 shards coming soon*

*= given value of “soon” is on a geological timescale

[abstract shoal]

cosmic cleanup event without event store.......great job scopely...😵‍💫

[steel escarp]

Cosmic cleanup event rewards are bad enough as is and now we don't even have the event store to go with it. How does this get messed up? It runs every week; there shouldn't even be any changes.

[true zealot]

Those strike shards are gonna be sweet, in the oopsie chest

[slow mountain]

Scope it can't figure out what to do they have to get the next event out before they even consider fixing bugs..... Hey let's go play maybe pull your heads out of your rear end and fix the bugs first!!!!?!?!?!!!! Maybe try that idea!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡

[devout blaze]

That makes too much sense and is obviously beyond the capabilities of the current dev team.

[swift scaffold]

You all got slowmode enabled 🤣🥳😂

[slow mountain]

That's cuz the developers don't like what we're talking about

[brazen oracle]

Dear Scopely - QA stands for Quality Assurance. It means testing your software before releasing it to your end users to ensure it works as expected. It can even be automated! What it doesn't stand for it Quickly Applied, which is what all your software releases seem to be. The first makes users happy and return customers. The second loses you business. Learn the difference!

[pure jackal]

It'd be in the best interest of game balance to nerf the Strike Team officers just a bit, and this is coming from a battleship lover! I just miss the counterplay in the game.

[glad cradle]

@kind tapir Why do people keep pinging Eco on the weekend? He won’t be back to work until Monday; Tuesday because it’s a holiday weekend in the US.

[kind tapir]

Because we hope that he goes through the pings and looks at what he's missed after the weekend

[glad cradle]

I doubt it

[fringe drum]

Actually they want to run a event for there customer's on a weekend, onus is on scopely to have a solution for there customers if there are any problems. But of course in there tos 110 % customer satisfaction.

[slim shoal]

He only has a week of work time before the next weekend break... 😆

[lyric warren]

So are we getting anything for the game being broken this morning and never counting for dailies around event reset? I had to do another run with my Franklin and Pilum killing reds due to that, at a combined cost of just under 150M trit because of a Scopely failure. Compensation is warranted.

[coral heath]

yeah, we're getting the only promise scopely will ever actually keep, the promise of more broken stuff, stupid event designs and scheduling, and overpriced packs in the store

[warped roost]

Way to go Scopley! Isolate your players by not acknowledging the issues @ 12noon est to 1pm est where nothing registered. A simple acknowledgement of the issue and action will be taken, while you figure it out would be nice. But no 8 hrs since the issue happened and nothing. We'll done making your community feel like they are valued!

[edgy harness]

They don’t believe in staffing over the weekends, they don’t have the income stream to afford shift employees.
In other words, SPEND MORE YOU WORTHLESS WHALE!

[warped roost]

Or I can stop spending & playing all together....

[edgy harness]

You missed the sarcasm, methinks.

[warped roost]

No I didnt miss it at all... and I'm not a whale, just a dolphin so they care even less (sarcasm).

[nova sierra]

Unpaid interns go in on weekends I heard

[cedar kiln]

I’m convinced nobody that works at scopely actually plays the game; if they did, their frustration playing it would motivate them to allocate budget to hire better programmers and network engineers to fix all these uncomplicated problems.

[golden bluff]

The reason they have slow mode enabled on this room is because they know there are too many complaints about issues in game this is there way of trying to silence people without having to fix the issues..

[vale wasp]

Slowmode is enabled to reduce the amount of argument in here and to make it more of a feedback channel for your benefit. If you're looking for discussion, try one of the TNZ channels.

[glad cradle]

Eco actually plays the game. I heard that on one of Rev Deuce’s live streams.

[fallen epoch]

Eco plays on his own account

[vivid terrace]

Scopely you need to rethink Incursions and the events that are on at the same time. I appreciate that with difficulties you have running it with poor architecture you can’t run all regions at the same time, but putting on events like Faction Hunt at the same time is gross stupidity. Also why put it on at a weekend and then one which is a holiday weekend in the US? Until you can make the event stable and your event schedulers actually think about the impact on every region (hint - International is not spelt New York) you should refrain from running Incursions. And while the cost of participating is a lot higher than any rewards it is a game destroying event

[sinful cargo]

Still awaiting a response for this.

[cedar kiln]

It was sarcasm. Point missed.

[fallen epoch]

It’s on a feedback channel. Sarcasm really isn’t needed here

[restive fjord]

Faction hunt during an incursion 🤦‍♂️

[cedar kiln]

It was to make the point that us users feel neglected due to all the issues. That’s the feedback. Good day.

[fallen epoch]

Even if they respond after event ends they can still give you the rewards. Just be patient

[brazen prism]

<@&509691205798592532> again no ship and officer experience?! When you have no buildings to complete you cannot do this, have said this so many time.. 😿

[quaint ember]

FIX. THE.LAG. rom

[hardy scroll]

Now might you have USS Terror shards in your USS Terror Event?

[zealous trellis]

Your game is unplayable for at least the first hour after daily reset. Constantly. Fix your game before you try pushing new features that just break the game more.

[nova latch]

This answer is not good enough.

Do better

Not making clear the rules of engagement, i.e. what conditions must be met in order to be able to access a product, surely is illegal.

[trail garnet]

Yeah. But they don't.

[fallen epoch]

They usually do especially in situations like this where they know there were player wide issues

[trail garnet]

That is not at all the experience of me (a 3.5 year level 49 player). They argue, they lie, the avoid any and all compensation for errors at customer service. It is no different then the constant screw ups at the game level that they ignore and refuse to fix. Once an event is finished they rarely compensate for adding errors.

[twilit matrix]

Why are the Apex Events regularly skipped between arcs? Many of us are trying to complete the Apex research and those events are the only way to get the research medals to complete them.

[flint elm]

What the heck is the armada limit? I want to launch so I can score points! Grrrrrrrrr!

[halcyon kayak]

Scopley can you fix the Mantis grind purchase error that seems to randomly popup when you kill a actian

[final viper]

Are you going to fix the ingame CHAT anytime soon?

[fallen epoch]

And what exactly is wrong with it?

[nova sierra]

@fallen epoch Greetings. Server 112 was not in incursions. We still waiting on our compensation reward as mentionend by Scoply if you are left out of incursion. Any info when server 112 gets it ?

[fallen epoch]

🤷‍♂️ not heard anything about the bye week chests best ask Eco in 21 hours when he logs on here

[nova sierra]

🖖

[narrow ether]

First, love the Mantis and the refinery available. Not the biggest fan of the grind, but I'm sure it'll get better as I progress.

Actian Exos. Just let us collect and activate them as we need, not by hostile kill.

1. Not knowing which exos are active is a pain. Instead of numbering (+1+2), what if you did the individual (Buff Icon)s, dynamically ordered by expiring time remaining. Have the specific icon(s) begin flashing when there's a minute or 30 seconds left.
2. Scrolling out, I can view more of the map (and Apex hostiles) but I lose visibility on buff carrying hostiles. Can the buff icon be added at that level of zoom?

The auto-activation is too inconsistent. It's a revolving door of the following options:
*It just works
*Repeated purchase error messages, manual activation through two menus (Exocomps to Exocomp gifts page)
*Same error messages but the buffs are activating, effectively interrupting what is time sensitive gameplay
*No messages but I have a stack of exo tokens waiting for me to use

I much prefer the last option. Discard the tokens when the mantis docks/explodes/after a set amount of time. And

3. Let us activate them from the regular gameplay screen like ship abilities
   *each number corresponds to the pictures in order

[grim falcon]

Who can talk to about battle pass overflow

[graceful lotus]

drop a ticket ingame is all you can do

[grim falcon]

Can't find it on the game

[vale wasp]

Use the email option in #👽-how-to-contact-support

[sharp scroll]

I've put a lot of effort (money and time) in this game and also worked for about 11 Years for a online game as QA as well. I understand the difficulties that you have very well. But last month was like 💩 Either you have new Game Designers (probably all new in the job) or you have a new producer who has also no idea how things are working. Finally I will stop paying any money to you for now until you get things sorted. New content is necessary to bring money to you, but your support and the willing of fixing existing bugs is ridiculous and makes the community more than angry! If this is all caused by Varun, I can understand a bit, but not the part with not fixing bugs

[final viper]

It’s broken. Doesn’t work on pc client and barely works on mobile.

[vagrant gyro]

Now that I am.no longer censored for daring to criticise the Devs. Has anyone actually heard from Eco or any of the moderators after all the debacle so far this month with the epic fail of the roll out of Incursion and the complete server crash on Monday, do we actually have a Community Manager of Mods?

[versed flame]

Tends to cause game crashes, will jump from channel to channel, replies are delayed or duplicated, chat history is OFTEN deleted. And that’s just the few I’ve experienced in the last few days. There are others.

[wise notch]

Mantis debuff. Could we get some more "permanent" info who did it other than the 2sec popup that sometimes doesn't even come? Like an info in a subsequent battle log? Fist line being something along the lines of "Debuffed by [ally] name" ?

[vivid terrace]

We now have 3 different servers players in our server leaderboards. When are you going to sort this out. Will this continue to increase after each Incursion event?

[nova sierra]

I’m guessing you were muted not so much for criticising (I do that a lot) and more for doing so whilst breaking one of the #🌠-rules-and-roles12. That said, any chance of you outlining more specifically what you mean, as this month is September and last month a ton of changes were made to address concerns various people made - but you’re not being especially specific for me to be able to identify anything that was missed.

[vagrant gyro]

I aimed that point that the roll out of this last Incursion that crashed multiple servers was u.tt er incomp etence. I then got a message to say I was insulting.

[nova sierra]

Yeah, I’ll put money that you weren’t polite about it. There were issues with incursions, the team are aware. Maybe people will listen to us Ecoms more when we say “running them at the weekend when less people are around to fix any issues is a bad idea” in future 😆🤣. In any event, I’m sure the team will be looking into what went wrong and trying to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

@tacit obsidian greetings. Server 112 was out of the incursions. When can we excpect our off week incursion rewards? 🖖

[waxen kite]

I know I'm always being critical towards the game and the dev team, but for this incursion i can applause for removing the "specific system" so congratz, BUT, the lag at the first hour of incursion is bad, and for those who can attend the beginning of incursion its very crucial for it to work, so i hope on next one you can work on the lag aspect of the game. Now i will adress one thing that you will ofc not addmit, but i still want it to be removed, can you please remove the part of coding which literally makes impossible to free grind g4 unc and rare ships from hostiles, i know you will say thats not true and its RnG based, but every ship I free grinded when i got to the point of last 50 BPs of each ship the BPs literally stoped to drop from grinding the proper hostiles, I know you will say its just based of luck, but I know its not , so please... remove it.

[vagrant gyro]

I wasn't rude at all I simply said to Eco, who has been totally radio silent since the debacle that I thought the delivery was utterly Incom. Scopley obviously didn't like the criticism even though they are happy to tae my money.

[nova sierra]

Read the #🌠-rules-and-roles12 then, if you criticise “people” ❌ and if you swear ❌. They don’t censor people for criticising the product, it’s all I do most days.

[vagrant gyro]

That makes sense, theor excellent AI Bot interpreted my comment as a criticism of Eco rather that the Devs and QA team

[tranquil dew]

Could be worse, we got told it was a bye week the day before and it started anyway…

[nova sierra]

[zealous trellis]

The icons for the actian exos in the consumable claim do not match the icons on the ships

[vale falcon]

a small oversight for the terror auction seems to be that folks who have it already are eligible for some reason... in particular for a refit that has been so rare the impact is significant

[frigid willow]

@tacit obsidian. When will the power ratings get straightened out? Now we have 3 other servers alliances & players mixed together

[feral prism]

i just have a simple yes or no question. can the time format on here be changed from 12 to 24 hr format? p.s. the computer is already in 24hr format.

[nova sierra]

Where? 👀 Discord?

[feral prism]

yes

[quiet lodge]

Sorry all, have any of you had issues with battle pass scoring not updating correctly this month so that you do not receive the full rewards?
Particularly this Saturday when the whole game went to pot?
Completed everything but the overflow didn’t fully register the points so didn’t give the awards

[vale wasp]

Lots of people, you should contact CS.

[uneven plume]

Hello Commander, sorry for the late response. Our team is actively working to fix the lag and connection issues on the game. In the meantime, we highly suggest that you do some troubleshooting steps below:

• "Clear Localization" This option is located under the game Settings.
• Restart the game
• Restart the device
• Switch to a different internet connection(From WiFi to data or vice versa)
• Make sure that your device has enough storage to run the game
• Check for updates in the Play Store/App Store

-Trevor

[elder pollen]

You know, confirmation of the arc’s start date would be a good thing. I’ve been checking the 3 announcements channels here, but no word.

Is maintenance tonight, Battle Pass starting tomorrow?

Or are we waiting until the 13th for a short arc?

[final hollow]

Thanks for the Maintence Notice but nothing todo with the farce of a incursion that was Saturday/Sunday on server 186

[waxen kite]

they need to polish Incurison extra hard till next one, especially work on the lag issue, and remove the PAY TO WIN transfer option, it should be open to when and how many times can i hop over and back, dont limit us on the game content by paywall.

[nova sierra]

so uhm...where's our compensatory gift for practically destroying the entire game for almost two hours after incursion? i have yet to see it.

[main dagger]

Strike team officers need to be nerfed. People spent a lot of time. And money tiering up ships. And then all that goes away with new officers. That some people@can’t compete for in their leaderboards. It’s just wrong. TOS Kirk. Ohura. Even worf. Pale in comparison… What are you guys thinking you trying to make people quit the game and not spend money

[waxen kite]

@main dagger not godlike... but I think to myself when they add the same type of officers for explorers and interceptors they will kill the freedom of fighting against combat triangle forever plus they will shot themselves in the foot coz any other new pvp officer they add after that in comparison to this will be useless and people wont spend money on them.

[main dagger]

They keep making officers they release the useless with new officers when they should just upgrade the existing

[waxen kite]

It has been said to them in multiple conversations and times that people would like after each new ARC an old, popular ARC, that the community would vote on prior, so they can tier the existing, good, pvp and pve officers, but they do not listen. They probably think people wouldnt spend money on them... but oh boy... they are so wrong.

[main dagger]

I just feel sorry for all those people that spent money on other officers like worf and Harrison. TOD Kirk. Etc. All@made useless now.

Players 5-6 ops lvls below you. Can now kill your ship’s easily. No point in getting expensive G4. G5. Just get strike team on not even maxed epic G3

[waxen kite]

TOS still works bud, but I see your point, if you have a 50mil power unc g5 ship and gets killed by Ktinga... yea i would probably quit.

[nova sierra]

Absolutely not true. My Augur took a few goes to kill a Kelvin that was moderately well crewed and was slaughtered by a well crewed D4, and was killed in two fights with a Sally.

[main dagger]

I was killing 14-21m G4 easily with my T9 Augur. That Kelvin crew sucks. I could’ve killed that easily with my enterprise

[nova sierra]

As long as they weren’t crewed against you, yes - but the other dynamic it’s changed is using something smaller that hits hard, fast.

[fallen epoch]

Announcement now up. We have a maintenance in 16h

[civic totem]

Wow late announcement again for maintenance tomorrow

[fallen epoch]

Compared to the last 3 this one is early

[open horizon]

Love the suggested fixes when the game is obviously not “ working as intended “
Great job on the new glitches always a pleasant surprise 🍻 really love the disappearing graphics as you scroll by. Very creative 😔

[main dagger]

The worst dynamic is that my Augur has a 600k trit repair bill. Vs the 180-220m on a G4

[nova sierra]

Have you got a G4 ship?

[main dagger]

Yes. I have. Kelvin 15M. Valdore 15M and Pilum at 14M. No need to use them now with strike team crew. :). Haha.

[shadow dust]

so the strike team wasn't fully F2P?? I'm 3 shards short for Ortega and 4 for Una. La'an was all P2P, don't have her either.. LOL

[nova sierra]

Then you know they’re not 220M to repair unless you’re seriously behind on your research 😜

[plush spire]

Any idea how one puts in a ticket to change the email on a Scopely ID. My son and I both play the game, but we have two problems.

1. Both his current email address and my email address pull up HIS account at startrekfleetcommand.com
2. He need to change his email

I've tried contacting Support and there's no similar option to this. I've had support take days to respond and when I didn't get back to them that day they closed the ticket. Tried twice more and got no response at all. Sort of wondering how to fix this.

[fallen epoch]

For your issue 1. If you cleared your cookies does the same occur? Normally log in details get tied in by cookies on the webpage. For 2) I would try put another ticket in and have a chat with Eco. He could get some feedback to help this type of issue since CS aren’t aware

[plush spire]

Cookies for the win! I'll make sure he doesn't use my PC anymore 😉

[fallen epoch]

Tbh I’m not sure if your emails are actually merged or not. Although it would be a crappy issue regardless

[plush spire]

It seems they are NOT merged. When I used a different browser I got my account with my email. He gets his account with his email on his laptop

[brave portal]

Why is ZERO uncommon G3 still an option when doing a 75k 3-chest pull? With these new tables? Come on

[fallen epoch]

Can I pm you?

[brittle goblet]

<@&509691205798592532> https://discord.gg/Zhg4sqBuwd This is the official community S65 El Aurian Discord. Can you please update the list?

[fast gulch]

@crisp dome does Scopely have any plans to quit pocketing so much profit and start buying a little more bandwidth to deal with this lag issue at reset every day?

[nova sierra]

Nothing to do with the bandwidth, its the architecture, APAC only had 4 incursions total, yesterday, bandwidth would not account for the terrible lag. Not sure what firewalls AWS use, but in Azure, Palo Alto's are critical in how they are sized

[true zealot]

Long weekend, forgot to feed the server gerbils

[brittle goblet]

I wonder what they are using for a DB.

[dusty token]

<@&509691205798592532> someone forgot to put the game update reset info in the game bulletin board. Not everyone reads discord.

[normal wadi]

seriously, @tacit obsidian why did the devs make the Alliance Exocomps unlockable beginning at level 17 alliance but no one can actually turn them on until ops level 40+??

[golden swift]

Just a thought: there are way too many special ships on the way to 39 now: Franklin-A, Feesha, Cerritos, Amalgam, Meridian.
All of them require ressources and materials needed to advance on the core elements of the game: buildings, research and ships.

Improving the refinery is a good thing, but due to the added ships only a little drop of water in a dry spell.

I'd love a better balance on that: maybe reduce building costs or research costs, but it's too much if you want to advance without spending a lot of money. I'm all for spending a little but it's too much content nowadays and every arc something gets added.

[fast ginkgo]

In terms of performance, i would say DBase. 😉

[naive stream]

It was also posted in GC.

[nova sierra]

"M46 will introduce the Alliance Starbase, a new feature which allows Alliances to work together and build a massive space station to harvest a new material – Plasma" ... to harvest a new material 🤦

[round sapphire]

With HG Worf being added in multiple places will the recruitment chest related to the amalgam be made better cause its mostly useless now especially with such low payouts considering it takes so long to open 1 chest

[coarse junco]

https://tenor.com/view/nodding-benjamin-sisko-star-trek-deep-space-thats-right-gif-23502363

[dusty token]

I meant hours ago. Usually the notice goes up in Discord and also in game at the same time. This time the only game notice was at the 1h mark before shutdown

[naive stream]

To be fair, the maintenance periods happen at pretty normal intervals. The pattern is pretty well known at this point. I can't think of a single arc in the past year that happened on a different day or time.

[glad cradle]

That’s usually when the in game notice happens

[main dagger]

New Arc. More lame features. More armadas. More materials. For buffs that are essentially meaningless. Fix territory takeover. Don’t add worthless starbases that will benefit only larger alliances. Your driving this game into its grave. Dead soon. It’s already hemorrhaging

[hollow pike]

You literally know nothing about how any of this works yet. You have no idea what buffs there’ll be. People have been spinning that “no wonder everyone is quitting” line for the last 3.5 years, yet here we all still are.

[main dagger]

Come on. Territory buffs. Worthless. Everything is from base. One thing you can count on. It’s the same stuff in a new package. It will be worthless in the end. Happy to bet on it.

Scopely lost my money already. Refuse to spend anymore. This will be another mail in the coffin.

So many bugs they can fix. So many features they could add. Heck. They need to fix TC desperately. But instead we get starbases. Hahaha 🤣

[sullen matrix]

Fixes dont generate money, new features for whales do

[main dagger]

Yes. It’s a money grab for sure. Pure and simple. But I don’t get why whales spend. All that cash to hit helpless miners on nodes? Or hit players 15 ops levels below them that clearly have no chance in … to defend. Hmmm 🤔 they just increase time in game and player frustration.

[sullen matrix]

No patience, the need to be stronger as others, have the newest toys, have those the highest
Game favors power and punishes taking risks

[main dagger]

Took me 2 years to get to OPs 47. Months to upgrade G4 ships to 14M power. All to be wiped out in 1 month with strike team officers. Now you add 200% mitigation refit. And you kill most G4 uncs easily. On top of that. Add a starbase 🤣💩

Clearly they are suffering trying to get players to spend to go 42+ so they had to negate all that time and effort in 2 arcs. Boom. Gone.

[royal blade]

Guess the only bright spot is we have G4 survey ships and peace shields!

[supple thistle]

Oh dear scopely...no Bajorian or Cardassian ships just another new skin for present ships...a suspiciously short bug fix list...no Defiant!

They could have used the defiant as an amarda ship. It led amardas in DS9 and led the invasion of cardassia and this is all about amardas.

I can see in 3 months they release the Jem'hadar as another swarm type recycle.

Adding to this, great comment from a fellow player. Defiant release for Xmas 200 quid a BP 😆

[ember cosmos]

Looks like a worthless patch just by reading the patch notes.

[native pawn]

DS9 Arc.

How can Scopely murder Sisko.

[pine hare]

When an Alliance member leaves an Alliance, they immediately lose all of their Alliance reputation. Even if they rejoin the same Alliance, they will not regain any previously earned reputation.

GREAT JOB, SCOPELY!

[bronze nova]

@tacit obsidian why am I getting support messages in the middle of the night during maintenance stating they will close my 5 day old initial request if I do not respond in time? How am I supposed to respond when it is 1. In the middle of the night 2. During maintenance? This feels like some one there is intentionally trying to get rid of tickets and not fix things. Went to respond only to be kicked out and given the maintenance screen. Cant get back in there to that at this time.

[icy jetty]

Patches come and go but leaderboards are still scrambled from different incursions!

[silk condor]

No defiant, no cardassian warship. Recycled G3 epics. The alliance starbase sounds neat, but…really? We get the mantis, but not the defiant? 🫤

[trim canyon]

Whats the most important.. no strike team crew to balance current battleship meta. Have fun getting rekt a month more.

[young dune]

I always feel like I'm speaking in tongues whenever I contact Helpshift. You get passed around and every operator misreads what the problem is and you have to explain the same thing over and over until they tell you a solution to a problem you don't have and just close the ticket.

[sullen matrix]

Everytime i contact the support they "investigate" and when they figured out what happened, they tell me the story i already told them in my initial message. Then its a useless back and forth until they decide the issue is solved

[zealous trellis]

You expected that in the first month of at least a 3 month or longer arc? DS9 didn't get it season 1.

[young dune]

We have a player on our server that hits us and doesn't communicate, nothing new there but they seem to be hopping around alliances on the first server we fought in incursion, none of which have heard of them.

You'd think I was talking about the intricacies of string theory from the responses I got. Culminating in "thank you for reporting the player that shouldn't be on your server" when I kept saying the problem seems to be they are in the wrong alliances and believed to be from our server.

[silk condor]

Yes, because it would take 3 months to upgrade it 🙄

[heavy marten]

Can an Alliance Starbase being raided?

[hollow pike]

You know as much as the rest of us at the moment

[coarse sundial]

Haven’t met many generals yet. Pretty new to the game. But they’re probably 5/5 stars.

[woeful rapids]

gg scopely! logged in after maintenance to find both my extra research queues, and my extra building queue are no longer there

[desert orbit]

Why are my additional research and building queues locked again ?

[austere coyote]

@tacit obsidian wow all additinal baught research and building queues have resetet....

[viscid shell]

Really ...? 2nd and 3rd gone?

[fossil siren]

Where are my slots?

[woeful rapids]

is it really too much to ask for one single update without some sort of colossal balls up?

[potent pendant]

Repair queue lost as well.

[wind gull]

what a joke

[restive zephyr]

you for real asking to manually activate them each time, are you a masochist?

[devout ermine]

Yay! More red pips! Thank You!

[urban delta]

My second builder slot is now locked. Wtf?

[zinc swan]

Build queue, research queue, officer Presets have been reverted to 1!

[trim flower]

Keep getting kicked out. 8x over the past 5 minutes.

[balmy spear]

stop. Adding. Currencies. And. Grind. Loops.

No harvest plasma.
SPEND RSS.

[young dune]

I'd settle for them not breaking the game every update

[ionic pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/scopely-gif-24824538

[balmy spear]

I'm sure the game would run peachy if they'd quit stacking half baked systems on top of broken systems on top of bad code.

But as it seems they can't listen, so here we are with another grind loop and currency, after just getting another grind loop and currency.

Enough is enough scopley, use the crap you have already in game, or stop adding more crap.

[sonic nymph]

Anyone else getting glitch that requires you to buy 2nd research, even though you already bought it?

[true citrus]

its just unplayable atm, cant even open a system without it crashing with error than saying no internet connection... gunna wait for it to be patched and fixed properly then have a look :/

[hollow agate]

Check out the bugs scopley

[fossil siren]

I feel a hugh chest is comming........

[cinder citrus]

They want to milk the whales more, hence them adding more currencies

[forest vine]

Seriously? This is what you release for public use? You are the most incompetent bunch of people ever to create a game.

[zealous trellis]

"New Systems
19 new Bajor systems."
I count 23 new systems

[magic cobalt]

2nd research missing !!!

[viscid shell]

Seriously: With the next "pack" everything is forgotten and players will buy everything they can get their hands on 🙂

[leaden lodge]

With the update of today, I lost my second building construction line :/

[heavy ember]

We now got a all time record in game crash. Congrats!

[round saffron]

Did they deploy the usual yellow peace shield? What's the duration?

[rare hemlock]

if you using pc try logging out and closing the launcher and starting again. fixed it for me

[torpid kestrel]

Game continues to crash. Can’t do anything.

[gaunt quartz]

well i am missing my 3nd Research it says its locked but i now i buyed it

[uneven plume]

So much for fixing it scopely couldn’t organise a pass up in a brewery

[runic violet]

Well scopely have surpassed themselves with this patch

[balmy spear]

They want to milk the playerbase all they have to do is make a good, functioning, and fun game; and the money will roll in by itself.

[sour basalt]

I guess I’ll have to do my crews manually again….

[ionic sluice]

I am now missing my 2nd build queue, 3rd research queue and lost all officer presets.

[heavy ember]

The game is not working on android, kerp getting kicked out, crashing after seconds/minutes

[fossil girder]

😱 extra building and research disappeared

[fading gorge]

It’s crashing on my iOS every 2 minutes

[sullen matrix]

Other companies strive to raise the bar, Scopely strives to lower it ever singe patch 😂

[frigid flame]

I need more bugs. This game should not be playable any longer. Please give me more bugs!

[humble wharf]

@tacit obsidian Something is bugged with surveys... My Valkis wasn't 3.7m strong with 10m cargo and certainly not mining at 200k per hour before the maintenance.

[woeful rapids]

guys, basically half the game is broken yet you all keep reporting bugs that have already been reported hundreds of times above 😂

[steel escarp]

@tacit obsidian WOW lots of complaints but I can say that being able to see what type and lvl of hostiles are in systems from the galaxy screen is great. Finally added something truly useful.

[hollow agate]

It's broke fix it

[lusty timber]

That implies Scopely even has a test server lmao

Serioulsy scopoly...STOP ADDING NEW CONTENT AND FIX THESE DAMN BUGS!!!

[potent pendant]

they have, they are listed here #🕵-server-discord-links2

[hollow wren]

Research queues have disappeared. Dailies are not registering for killing hostiles. Game crashes when loading the research trees (happened 3 times). iOS

[nova sierra]

Impressive Scopely. Every month you continue to amaze us

[wind vortex]

Get. A goddamn. Internal. Test. Server. This is utterly unacceptable.

[woeful rapids]

the new content IS new bugs, the two are so deeply intertwined there is no hope of seperating one from the other

[mental tendon]

I just managed to fly from lapades back to territory space in 26 seconds in a vidar, and randomly after each killing kept gaining in strength. before I got back to base it was on 8.19mil with a 3.5mil cargo

[turbid rose]

Faction Hunt or dailies are not working

[glad cradle]

They just posted about it here: #⭐-official-announcements message

[glossy raven]

Not scoring any points for ongoing events

[lunar falcon]

Did they fix the treasury?

[crystal moth]

Please stop adding more research while the gross imbalance between total construction time and total research time exists.

[naive stream]

EVERYONE in the Scopely QA department (if there even is one) needs to be fired tonight and a new team brought in that actually know how to test software. This is absolute amateur hour.

[woeful rapids]

🤣

[balmy spear]

They'll just bring in cheaper testers.

[wind vortex]

Hey at least we can all look forward to a fat "we're sorry" cache, right?

[weary niche]

STOP USING US AS BETA TESTERS!!!!!!!!!

[turbid rose]

With all three faction chests and a super we f’d up chest

[nova sierra]

And with that..... Scopely I have learned my lesson, game uninstalled. Enough is enough

[trim flower]

Getting kicked out every few mins on phone (android). PC is much more stable.

[woeful rapids]

did you really react to your own comment?

[cloud crag]

iPhone after nearly every move or command game restarts. I’ll come back later to check on🖖

[sinful marten]

Really bad update at first glance- I 'm kicked out of the game or the commands are not working properlly. Scopely team can you prepare a proper update of the game and stop using us as you alpha testers cause beta is already a working game....

[woeful brook]

Once again Scopely doing a bang up job.

[clever orbit]

guessing scopely are in meeting atm to decide whether to bring servers back down or not 😛

[naive stream]

Adding insult to injury now..... I get a message saying I've been warned about my language?!?! I haven't said one thing tonight that was in any way a curse word or bad language of any kind. Who's running this circus?

[potent pendant]

Because you said they should be fired...

[fervent void]

Fantastic update game crashes constantly think you need to do maintenance properly

[atomic tundra]

i agree

[clever orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-evil-mike-myers-austin-powers-gif-8868031 this guy

[potent pendant]

@naive stream that's not cool, they are probably under deadlines and running into walls continuously... Even though this update is bad, it's still an engineering team, not responsible for deadlines nor quality if pressured to release....
Don't ask people to lose their livelihood over a game mate. Put some perspective on it.

[zealous trellis]

Imagine if game companies could hire people to test their games before releasing features?

[naive stream]

And.....? That's not exactly something that rates a language warning. We, as players, have a right to express our feelings. I would understand if I was throwing in curse words, but nothing I said couldn't be said in a church much less a Discord server. I AM putting perspective on it, mate. My wife works as a computer software tester. If her department missed this many bugs on a regular basis they absolutely would be fired immediately. I'm not going to give a pass to people who have one job to do, test software, and they can't even do that properly.

[frozen pebble]

I lost a research from 2 paids.

[mortal helm]

You assume there is a QA team. That feedback here will affect their jobs (it won't). But you know what will, constant release of buggy patches that reduce revenue.

[fossil siren]

Nice job Scrotely

[clever orbit]

gonna be interesting to see, even if they give the research/build slots back, will they keep their previous research/building?

[fickle plank]

We were doing an armada. Thanks for going to maintenance without a warning beforehand.

[open crescent]

i got warned for telling the truth? you guys are hilarious🤣

[subtle steppe]

How everytime.. 😞

Skip an arc and dedicate a month to fixing things. It’s getting really annoying.

Such a shame! The bad is outweighing the good.

[ripe jetty]

hot fix after major update... back to the roots, scopeply!

[glacial obsidian]

Seriously?? Another, unscheduled, maintenance? We were doing Armadas, Exos are Running, we want to finish the events!! Shame on you Scopely @tacit obsidian! I hope there will be gifts later on for this…

[glad cradle]

They're doing it to TRY and fix the recent crash issues. #🌌-galaxy-chat message

[daring yoke]

New lvl of sucking... New lvl of failure

[mortal helm]

They could just repeat an arc that worked instead while they work on bugs. A month without an arc would tank the number of players.

[lucid rock]

<@&509691205798592532> @tacit obsidian what are those of us who could not extend our shields supposed to do? It's 1st shift time in the US and some of us are now stuck with the prospect of our bases being undefended for the majority of the day unless scopely automatically extends shields/protection by a minimum of 12 hours.

[uneven galleon]

Hey @tacit obsidian just to let you thank you for not giving more heads up for the 2nd maintance, I just sent 2 ships into enemy faction space to finish event before it over, just to read as i get kicked out. I will be very ticked when your back up, due to my ship being blownup without my to prevent it.

[last jacinth]

This is why you have a public test server, Scopely. So the players can find these issues, BEFORE the update hits the live servers. It’s called quality control. Learn the concept.

[tacit obsidian]

Just so there isn't any confusion, all servers are down right now and there is a cease fire during update days

[slate chasm]

Quality control is expensive. Scopely only makes a few dollars a month off of the whales

[tacit obsidian]

So if you weren't able to extend your shield manually you're base is still protected

[open crescent]

interesting reaction to an honest post about another screw up from scopely... its not like this only happens on rare occasions 😆
tbh its more surprising if something actually works as its supposed to in stfc^^
i see how you treat your players...👍🏻 keep it up and im sure the game will be very successful in the future

[chrome dove]

The shield we get after maintenance is not long enough . It needs to be a min of 12 hrs

[amber crypt]

Ouch. Today there's another nasty spanking for Scopely's quality work.
You guys are all paying way too little money, they can't afford quality management 🤣🤣🤣

[grizzled tartan]

Still hanging around rator?😈

[coarse sundial]

so thrie we are maintnes all ready and that person messeing me saying it not the server fault wat a muppet

[hollow wren]

Taking down the game to fix the issues is a good thing Scopely. Appreciate the new content and hope to have the issues fixed so we can play going forward.

[lucid rock]

The normal timeframe for cease fire is insufficient. And many players already broke their ceasefire. It does not last the entire day, and people are accustomed to curing the difference with shields. It needs to be remewed for all players and extended to run through 9pm eastern now for those who cannot simply rearrange their personal lives on a whim.

[open crescent]

dont thank them for more messed up stuff they want money for....

[sacred island]

I won't pay anything as long they don't get to an acceptable game experience again.
Only throwing new content into the game is killing because only a small amount of players can keep up... but just another game on the way to fail... SAD

[chrome dove]

You know me to well ….

[rough belfry]

@tacit obsidian I wasn't able to complete Faction hunt yet and was planning on doing so this morning but with a second downtime to fix the bugs, I'm unlikely to be able to complete the event yet. Is there any chance we will be compensated for Scopely taking the servers down and preventing event completion?

[forest isle]

Should focus more in that “test” portion devs. *cough *cough

[unreal gazelle]

let me think open galaxy map.. restart, write something... restart... crew slots gone... refresh miner restart...

[atomic pasture]

For $99.99 every hour all that is broken will be magically fixed for you!

[slow vine]

Dear scopley @tacit obsidian there is something called a ‘sandbox’ it’s an environment for something called ‘testing’ . It allows you to try all the changes you make is a secure environment and ensure things work before release. Just thought I’d mention it! Your way is also great of course- we love 1000’s of players to enjoy awful experiences each time you launch the bugs into a live environment. Wow- we all think it’s fun- maybe you could run a bug event that we score points for each bug we encounter- make sure the points are in the millions though for the full reward 👍

[tepid dragon]

that would be an “elite” event 😉

[rare coral]

"Heroic" is the correct term 😅

[open crescent]

why? you see how they can just release it and let us test the broken stuff. its cheaper 😉 😂

[humble blade]

Good job y’all broke the game

[weary niche]

New crash record well done

[tacit obsidian]

The reason the team decided to extend the maintenance period is to ensure the update is in a good place and doesn't hinder anyone's experience.

We know how excited everyone is to get their hands on the very first Deep Space Nine update and as soon as it's ready we'll be sure to let everyone know

[lean pilot]

This additional maint is burning precious time for the Frank A skin event. was planning on making a run to the finish this morning, but now my hands are tied

[kindred siren]

So you were aware that the update was not in a good place when you launched it?

[neon notch]

@tacit obsidian thats a very corporate comms answer!

[mortal helm]

That is a very long winded way of saying maintenance was extended because the patch broke the game.

[humble wharf]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_entropy

[edgy harness]

That would require testing and at least one QA person.

This game is on the verge of catastrophic failures given what we see of their coding capabilities. The first time people lose entire account info on the Scopely end is coming soon and I doubt they’ll address anything even then.

[polar basin]

If 1==0 then release patch

[languid iron]

So to make sure the game is in a good place you release it as a time bbomb which blows up with bugs, and player 3xperience is enhanced by taking the servers down during an event? Not the software engineering I pioneered with!

[waxen tinsel]

Software can have rot from day 1 if it STARTS with a high level of entropy…

[weary niche]

Im sorry but you can do better than that. The update took purchases away from the players.

[drifting turret]

Maintenance is always at the same time , for me that prime time to get dailies & events completed. I’m disappointed that I was unable to finish the swarm & faction hunt events. Maybe future maintenance can be completed at different times or when there’s less events to complete.

[last jacinth]

That’s what a test server, or sandbox, is for.

[tame robin]

Problems on Android too. Kept getting kicked out repeatedly.

[forest isle]

Free stuff for everyone. Hahaha NOT!

[stuck delta]

That happened to me all the time before the update

[humble blade]

Once the game is back up I’m marking KOS on 🐣ATTENTION🐣 Alliance EGGS (S63) KOS: Scooely🐣 Reason: Violating game experience🐣 Duration: Indefinitely🐣

[dusty token]

@tacit obsidian faction hunt will need to be extended or compensated. I was planning to spend my morning finishing it but might be able to get one done now, and the other is now in question.

[amber crypt]

Don't hold it against them. They don't know how to deal with the wormhole interference yet.

[wise notch]

Any of the developers or managers ever consider that normal people actually DO have a life outside STFC. Adding yet another currency that needs to be farmed surely doesn't help at all!

[robust wing]

Was the tribbles

[frosty willow]

Yeah messed up any chance i had today.. plus my war hunt.. the dropout is bad enough but a double maint

Do we regain maint shield?

[tepid dragon]

@tacit obsidian I wasted a full Epic Armada of the new stuff due to the maintenance break. Are we getting 500 directives in the compensation box or do I need to file a ticket along with the 160m Tritanium and 9h Speed-Ups for repair?

[nova sierra]

https://growjo.com/company/Scopely

[ionic zodiac]

It’s obviously Scopely’s fault because everyone in here waited until the last minute to complete events on a day they knew maintenance was coming. /s

[pine vigil]

What a bad joke this is - do bad there is no way to test new code before it moves to production 🤔🤔🤔

[native scaffold]

Some of us have to work and arent able to complete events until last min.

[smoky plover]

Of course they test it.

[edgy harness]

That mada will have resolved, but I wouldn’t waste high end directives before the events pop up

[slow vine]

@tacit obsidian

[stuck delta]

Damn sleep gets in the way.. Why can't they do maintenance at night lol

[wise notch]

who needs testers (that need to be paid) when you got thousands of players that test for free?

[fallow wasp]

Scoply sucks, game came up and I was finishing what I was doing and got logged out again 😠

[nova sierra]

After working a fullday, the evening is the time i cn spend on stfc. A 3 hour update, at 4pm, 15 mins of gameplay and then another shut down isnt ideal

[chrome dove]

It is night here 10-40 pm …. And the shields we get won’t last till morning . Try being in our shoes

[olive falcon]

well no surprise here that something broke

[lean pilot]

Thing is that the swarmada event occured on labor day weekend when a lot of us (myself included) were busy doing other things. My plan was to login this morning and fire off as many swarmadas as I could to make up for lost time. Now I can't do that

[last jacinth]

My thoughts exactly. People crying about faction hunt: Don’t procrastinate, on a maintenance day, and then whine if they have to do emergency maintenance, for bugs.

[final osprey]

How about a defiant for the oops this morning

[last nest]

why do people blame people for corporate issues 🤣 “answered my own question shilling

[lost prawn]

@last jacinth if Scopely is at fault for a botched maintenance then they should extend the events for as long as the emergency maintenance last.

[languid iron]

It will be okay. The game will be back up soon and for the inconvenience, Scopely will award you a couple 5 minute speed ups! 🤣

[dusty token]

Yesterday was my birthday. I did one early, started the 2nd, went out to dinner and expected to finish this morning. As it is, it takes forever to complete without delays or real life.

[stuck delta]

I wouldn't say for free., lol. We pay them for the privaledge lol

[fluid slate]

I haven't been able to work out from this comment if a second ceasefire will be applied after this 2nd maintenance? Does anyone know from previous experience?

[soft sundial]

Haha, bugley as its best 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[open crescent]

and as a sidenote: if you speak out warnings for feeling hurt: do it yourself and dont use a bot to do your work so you can stay anomymous.
a bot doesnt have a cpl minutes to warn for something. so its someone doing it actively^^
dont release broken stuff all the time and your chats might look friendlier 😉

[red cove]

game is broken? again

[weary niche]

Free battle pass for all!

[tepid dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/fixed-gif-14953349

[frank nacelle]

or is it STILL...... LOL

[last jacinth]

You can do all 3 faction hunts in less than an hour, if you actually try. So as long as they are back up within the hour, y’all should be fine

[waxen tinsel]

Things would be a lot easier if you would just schedule event so they don’t overlap maintenance. You can go 12 hours without having a special event scheduled so that you can get the maintenance and patches done before launching the next one.

[ionic zodiac]

Happy Belated Birthday. If it takes so long though, you may want to adjust some things like ship/crew/system. Shouldn’t take more than an hour to complete all 3 factions

[lean pilot]

Yesterday was labor day. spent time with my family instead of constantly being on the game. Was planning on wrapping the events up this morning. Should have had a good 4 hours to finish, now i'm down to 3:15

[zealous trellis]

send 2-3 ships to hostile grind, finish a faction in like 15 minutes

[lost prawn]

@zealous trellis that would work great if the game was actually up and running

[robust wing]

Some of don't have hostile territory at L30

[runic violet]

Being the public face of this game must be soul destroying. You have my sympathy.

[crimson elm]

@tacit obsidian please enable a market for trading resources/materials. As the game continues to add materials/resources, it becomes a very splintered effort. Players should be empowered to focus on particular builds of interest (rather than, say needing months to accumulate enough 3* unc to upgrade one ship component).

[edgy harness]

You don’t hit the biggest thing you can, you hit what you can destroy a lot of on one hull for a reasonable amount of points. Then do that with three ships. You net more points faster than going far out and killing big

[stuck delta]

Problem I have is not enough hostile crew

[open crescent]

what are you thinking m8? they cant. would be a missed opportunity to try to make ppl pay for something😆

[last jacinth]

If you aren’t killing overpowered stuff, you don’t need a “hostile” crew.

[frank nacelle]

.

[rough belfry]

Don't take this the wrong way, but I've found that best practices are to not interact with any new features in the game for at least the fist hour they are released. Just fyi

[soft sundial]

Its time for the Frank a terror skin for free eco....

[lost prawn]

This is why I told my alliance to chill on doing the new armadas.

[quick cape]

@tacit obsidian please take a vacation. This game doesnt deserve you.

[viscid shell]

So you can fight Swarmadas better? Very unteresting Skin, really ... @lost prawn

[torpid dagger]

@tacit obsidian may we please extend ceasefire for APAC regions? Approaching midnight here

[hallow cliff]

Maybe first fix the game before putting up new arcs every month

[little turret]

If you hit lower hostiles, you can use just about any crew

[edgy harness]

You don’t need them if you know how to crew in general for the ships you have.
I run pike crew on weakest ship, then things like faction killers, ship synergy, or ship-type fighters.

[opal finch]

How long is maintenance going to take? Rough ballpark time frame please and thank you.

[clever orbit]

a lot of people wont be able to complete events today due to extended downtime

[supple thistle]

Forever, it's just varying degrees of duct tape and glue.

[last jacinth]

SNW crew, pmt/c, riker for a fed faction killer, etc…. People just have to look at their officer set. Sadly most don’t want to do the homework.

[lost prawn]

@viscid shell swarmadas are pointless in this game. Never waste my rare directives on them. Game has a strong history of ignoring older content never giving it a revamp.

[digital junco]

They are planning a $99 "glitch fix pack"

[runic pier]

This additional maintenance has prevented my completion of the faction hunt. I have to go back to work now

[viscid shell]

I totally agree, that's why I put the Terror-Skin in the "wasted" dept.

[open crescent]

the same goes for events. its actually sad lol

[frank nacelle]

only $99????LOL

[river crescent]

@runic pier same here

[dusty token]

I am dual grinding rom fed to 1B. So fed is easy, just hit the capital. Rom and fed, I can do it fast with my 3 34 ships, or I can actually stock some g4 parts, but only 1 of my ships is really adequate for that. T2 jelly and t7 d4 are close, but t4 augur still fairly useless

[opal finch]

that was a typo?

[proud scarab]

Too many new „features“ 😖

[edgy harness]

They need to rebuild the game from the ground up, honestly. The massive amount of problems from todays release makes that clear.

[digital junco]

Maintenance will continue until morale improves.

[mortal helm]

It took them a month or more to make the broken version so check back around Halloween.

[waxen tinsel]

Without better sw design and better testing it won’t be an improvement even if they rewrite it from scratch…

[viscid shell]

Kirk, TOS Kirk provides that 🙂

[smoky plover]

Come on everyone. Lots of games have maintenance windows. This is normal procedure and we should cut Scopely some slack. This is a big update.

[tepid dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/no-bugs-bunny-nope-gif-14359850

[last jacinth]

Umm… no. This has been their MO for several years. They need a public test server, IE sandbox, and better quality control.

[lost prawn]

@smoky plover my employer would just start recommending firing the incompetent Employees after this many failures.

[eager cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/fenrisfelicis-disappointed-disappointed-but-not-surprised-text-meme-kinetic-typography-gif-21253013

[waxen tinsel]

If the original maintenance window ran long, that would be different and more forgivable. That’s not where we are.

[buoyant jewel]

Don't be too harsh.. it is called "Deeply Screwed 9" arc 😄

[open crescent]

i guess that depends on what you call overpowered. if its not "very easy" you will notice the difference of using a random or a hostile crew. even then it depends on the hostile

[languid iron]

The normal course would be 1. Release a stable update. 2. Back up servers before update, then if problem occurs, restore last backup and fix the update offline, allowing game to continue!

[young ibex]

Hope this gift includes stuff for not being able to do any of the three faction hunts. Had planned on doing those this morning since I wasn't able to yesterday. That's a lot of officer xp, faction credits, and recruit tokens I could lose.

[bronze nova]

@twilit mango @tacit obsidian what is the plan for those of us who wanted to finish faction hunt but now cannot?

[pine vigil]

Pity chest inbound 😂😂😂

[nova sierra]

What about the events that people can't complete because you took the servers down again.

Auto complete all faction hunt would be a start

[young sandal]

@tacit obsidian and what about factions hunt and other current events ? More times to finish them ?

[grave quest]

so what about the missed time for faction hunt so that we can get more ultra recruits to get jaylah?!?

[full plank]

Emotional Damage!

[coarse sundial]

on the new content and features do not for get Odo this time he send the dmouiun at us if you for get

[tidal nebula]

I really wish they would stop calling it a "Cease Fire" after server maintenance...it's just an 8 temp shield...it's NOT a "cease fire".

[zealous trellis]

@tacit obsidian "making sure STFC is providing quality content and an experience you all expect is important to us." If this is true, then have a public test server. This is standard practice for a lot of online games. You refuse to hire actual game testers / QA team, and even if you did have one you need to be able to do mass tests of server features which means you need a public test server.
