Get rid of Assaults or balance them better. It's ridiculous that a level 60 can just continously show up and take everything, even though they don't need it, over and over again and a smaller alliance can do nothing to defend. At least with a person's base you can shield. Whales can already do pretty much anything they want. Why did you add yet another feature enabling those whales who are bullies to just step on everyone else?

[lilac nebula]

<@&509690795536941056> This issue has STILL not been addressed. 6 days now and he still has a ship stuck? At this point he's looking for compensation....

[glad cradle]

According to what I’ve seen, real life things are being taken care of first. Hopefully, they will be back soon. @old bison

[last path]

Is the game down? I can't "login"

[heavy zenith]

@royal solar @tacit obsidian @civic slate please add bracket to daily limited time slb event. 28 to 49 does not make sense. scopely why are you penalizing people for leveling up ops.

[sour dew]

In case anyone is wondering Scopely turned Scrooge and doesn't care this year. At the moment it's all about Awards and Gala Presentations. That's where STFC dollars go.😂😂🤣

[peak narwhal]

Sorry scopley, but we are searching still the first ability of all of you🤦🏼 @royal solar @tacit obsidian . Seems 1st April is at scopley the whole 365 days a year

It is imperative that someone at scopley finally takes responsibility who knows what he is doing. It's unbearable anymore... 4 years and nothing is better or gets better

[short sonnet]

Did you expect from Scopely and its programmers(Digit Game Studios)😂

[stiff latch]

@tacit obsidian We really need another way to source Independent Credits. We now have a litany of officers that require them to promote. There are actually more "Independent Officers" now than in any one faction. Augments, Borg, Ferengi, Khitomer...et al. I suggest placing Independent Credits in the Spelunker, Hostile Hunter, and Hostile Warrior dailies with the same ratios as the faction mining and hunting dailies.

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> Can we please update the Crucible of War event to include ships like the Mantis, Cerritos and the Defiant as premium combat ships?

[tidal acorn]

Oh yes, keep giving players with an interceptor as their primary ship an extra advantage with these interceptor pack based winter specials, it's not like anyone else has an explorer or battleship as their primary ship

The last 6 months, there was one treasury based on a ship type pack and that was, oh yes, an interceptor based one

[stiff latch]

But they are not, they are classified as support ships.

[stiff latch]

I would kill for 15 D4 bps right now. My armada chest's RNG is broken right now as for the last 2 months solid, it has given me nothing but Augur and Ent bps with a couple of Jellys thrown in the mix. I can almost build another of both. I've been slogging through Klingon credits and Away Teams missions just to get as far as I am now. At this rate it'll only be a week but darn if it hasn't been a rough go.

[true zealot]

Lat converts them 50 to 1. It's not great, but if you got a ton of lat, mid range promotes aren't terrible

[stiff latch]

I know but when you need 1000, its kinda hard to swallow spending 50k lat for it, much less the bigger promotions.

[true zealot]

It is...but when u got millions of lat. I mean, something is better than stockpiles of lat. Or keep waiting.

[desert ocean]

Will there be an incursions prep event before January 3rd? And are all servers live on the 3rd or will it stagger Europe/AMEA/Americas like before? @tacit obsidian @royal solar @fallen epoch

[fallen epoch]

Given how it usually works. January 3rd sounds like the prep events.

Just my thoughts though

[potent tiger]

How can I fix this bug in my Field Training please?

[fallen epoch]

Wait till it’s fixed

[upbeat dome]

Suggest that an email be sent to player confirming that support request has been received. Bot messages and long response times leave you wondering if your issue is actually being looked at.

[scenic delta]

Is this the chat where we can make suggestions for ways to improve the game? Not talking about bug fixes.

[main dagger]

@royal solar

Take a look at the roadmap it’s seriously pathetic. So many features we need. And Want. But they keep adding nonsense? Please fire the entire product development team and start fresh. Current product team are idiots. Clearly.

FLEET COMMANDERS
More complicated expensive feature that need to upgrade officers to have a buff for station or ship fleet. Boring as 💩. Some officers we have had for years and can’t max them. Why not work on better sourcing options and buffing current officers we use daily. We don’t need more useless officers that most will never be able to max or fully utilize in 3 years

HAILING FREQUENCIES

Sending emoji to another player in the same system. Seriously WTF?. Stupidity! What we need transporters. Being able to beam cargo and officers between ships. We need black market to swap parts and BPs. We do not need to be in the same system and send a freaking dumb emoji’s! Come on. Show us player feedback where that was a top priority roadmap feature. Jesus your driving this game into the ground. Fast

RIGHT IF ASCENSION

More solo armadas I guess. Obviously you can’t fix TC? Incursions is a failed game mechanic. They are now turning to more solo features? Your alliance starbase was a disaster and waste of development time. You don’t make the game more interesting by adding lonely solo based activities. You make the PvP more interesting. Add battle views. Targeting scanners. Long range detection sensors to ships. Fighting increasing difficult hostiles and armadas we deal with that daily.

Bottom line. Game is dying. We need to have fun. If not what’s the point? Roadmap features do nothing and are definitely not online with what players have been requesting. Suggesting and desperately needing.

Nothing new. Nothing exciting. Just more hostiles. Armadas. Grinding. Mining. More events for bored whales. And game mechanics that easily allow players and alliances to manipulate leaderboards. There is no more fun.

[nocturne hawk]

the Xmas sweater avatar is 75k but all the events pay 60k…..

[tropic crown]

Can we add independent credits to the away team store.

[nova sierra]

I've just started a 2nd account and used the move server token. this action has broken field training. now all 4 are stuck on the first task

[glacial island]

So when did they change the officers ability? I don't remember seeing patch notes on this. He was actually one of the few burning officers that was decent and then you went and turned Shattered Defenses to Sharpen Defenses and really nerfed his entire ability.

[proper raft]

Finally used my last November resources token from the screw up compensation. Have to say if it was £5 I might buy that pack every month but £90? Really? Who makes these prices up.

[dreamy fable]

<@&509691205798592532> Do you have any idea on the turn around time on a stuck ship ticket? I put in an email to CS 15 hours ago and don't have even an acknowledgement. I am very concerned that if this is not taken care of sooner rather than later, I will be stuck in territory for the incursions. Any help/information would be appreciated

[nova sierra]

Have a look at the purchase bundle, and the content of the daily pull, work out the total…. Also varies by Ops level, if you’re below Ops 39 it’s a silly thing to get anyway.

[nova sierra]

Depends; email’s a bit slower is my experience here, in game if you put the ticket in in the correct way (with correct options) and answer only what the question asks I’ve had mine returned in 15 minutes, but sometimes most of a day can pass.

[dreamy fable]

I went with email because that was suggested in here, lol

[nova sierra]

Email every time… except stuck ship for me 🙈

[tacit plank]

I’m sure more than one person already said it but I’m gonna say it too, can CoW’s rewards get an update? 1st place in the alb doesn’t even cover a repair bill for bigger ships lol

[lime socket]

This is what he always did, his description was incorrect, and they fixed the description to match what he really does many months ago.

[coral dagger]

Data Mining needs a serious overhaul, it really is the most irritating thing at this point. Takes forever to get out here, then by the time you do if you're not watching for the whole 6+ minutes a bounty hunter gets your BB. Get rid of Bounty Hunters in the deep systems. Increase the size of the nodes in Ifrea-3 and Orda-877 and keep the speed. Literally no one wants to babysit and micromanage mining. In the entirety of existence.

[severe wren]

Keep the bounty hunters 👀😄🙏
This man speaks crazy😄
Seams, he’s not aware of the “la trick” 👀😄 I’m not babysitting my BBs 👀😄

[tepid bramble]

The “trick” causes the system to clog, just send a striker and have it leave if you don’t need to lvl a ship as well :-). Nothing like fifteen frozen unhittable bounty’s floating prevent someone who wants them from getting them.

[stiff latch]

Or hell just ask somebody. Most don't mind killing Bounty Hunters.

[elfin abyss]

Please remove the tag for AD being active. I want the attackers to hit me and die, not see the tag and ignore me. Takes away like 90% of the reason for having it. Certainly won't buy it again for any other ships with the current configuration. Needs to be longer time than 3 hours and needs to NOT be detectable to others when enabled.

[lilac nebula]

<@&509690795536941056> Still stuck...

I'm about to lose a player to this

[brave prairie]

COW contribution list !!!thanks scopely , finally a dream came true . looked forward to this for a long time

[slender portal]

Bring back Reputation packs

[true zealot]

There's a system next door with 60k nodes. Now you can leave your bb for 15 mins.

[torpid kelp]

@north perch I would have written it in the inclusion chat, but it doesn't work: the bug that you shouldn't scan or attack bases with 8 ship slots should be fixed by the next inclusion event, please start giving more than 2 server coins to the people.

[wind vortex]

Snagged a scout while waiting for an armada.

What even is the point of a SINGLE message?

[nova sierra]

some feedback, i have had problems with my scopely account not verifying and not been able to login to web store. problem.. it does send me any emails

[next haven]

Fix the pvp range. At 42 noone above 52, should be able to hit. The game is so out of balance at that point. Make pvp actually fun and reasonable. This is ridiculous.

[lilac nebula]

My commodore has had his main ship stuck for 7 days now with no response from support. He's going to be disputing charges at this point.

[dreamy fable]

HarmoniousDeath Told me to use the TibbleShooter Bot in game. It took a little longer than advertised, but that did the trick. I never heard from CS on my email

[lilac nebula]

My guy has put in 4 tickets through tribbleshooting bot and an email over the last week. Nothing. They better give him a solid gift or I'm about to lose a commodore.

At this point his refund will probably be granted and then he will get banned. Extremely disappointing.

[zinc swan]

What's wrong with this picture?

[glacial island]

I agree it even the 46 ships don't even stand a chance against the 53 ships and I believe since 50+ has been added the cost of the 50 ships should be adjusted why should we pay million credits for a 50 ship when the 53 is half that, the 56 is the same cost as the 50 ship. Yes the 50 ships are "epic" but they get slapped around by the 53 ships just as easily. The power gap just gets absurd.

[hoary blade]

Yes fix PVP range 39s should not have to fight g5 ships @tacit obsidian we now have more and more events that we have to PVP incursion, assault PVP events territory

[tranquil ermine]

Frankly PVP should be 2 above and 2 below, for 5 level range max. Personal Opinion.

[nova sierra]

Until everyone needs to get someone else to clear mines for them…

[hoary blade]

The range is way to big when someone in there 50 can hit in there 30s that's 20 level range I can see 8 each

[nova sierra]

Come say that to me when you’re scooping billions out of a Lv50 station with your amalgam and you’re set to your mid 40s from ten minutes of raiding 😝 as I say every time this comes up, what that change would give, it would take away just as quickly.

[hoary blade]

I would be fine with that I would rather be competitive than run over like a bug

[crimson elm]

Implicitly, that’s a good idea! Tighten pvp bands, code exceptions for mines, territory.

[shadow trench]

Such importance, much wow

[junior chasm]

The Bajoran favor "Tetryon Abundance" has incorrect description. The Bonus is not 300, it's 100. The default value is 200, with "Bonus 300" one would get 500, but what we actually get is 300. One of the reasons why I am quitting this game. 👋

[sly tree]

Did I miss the bonus refinery this month? Or did they claim double credit for the one they started the last day of November?

[crimson stream]

Does scopely customer support actually do anything, besides tell you they can't help?? I bought a ketracel pack, used that ketracel for the positron projectile, which came with the unlock shards. Then, I accidentally unlocked the wrong shards, and got stuck with the useless photon pulse. I contacted scopely to see if they can reverse this, and they are acting like this transaction is somehow written in stone now, and nothing can be done about it.

[fallen epoch]

It doesn’t make sense for the projectiles without any buff’s but the reasoning is they can’t remove the buff’s from your account so they don’t touch the projectiles.

[crimson stream]

So, can I get my money back?

[modern jolt]

They can do something about it. It happened to me as well by accident on one of the beams as well and they „gave me“ the one I originally wanted for free, but this is like 6 month ago or so.

[fallen epoch]

They did? Wow I have never seen them do that

[crimson stream]

That's what I asked them to do, and they seem to be hand waiving me away like some pest.

[modern jolt]

Not kidding and also no bad intentions as I know this seems frustrating to a lot of players, but it really happened

[grizzled flint]

This is true. I submitted a ticket. Let see what happens. I should have 600 tetryons for lvl 1 Bajoran favors

[fallen epoch]

It really is bonus 100 (max cap 300)

The text is wrong

[split quarry]

Funny too, had a similar problem with a ship skin. 1 agent was telling me he can’t do anything about it, while the second agent said he could remove it. I’ve also another issue that’s been ongoing for nearly a month now and despite the screen shots and countless paragraphs of texts they either don’t read the information or investigate the problem properly. Honestly have no faith or trust in anything they tell you!

[nova sierra]

Fix pvp range. This has been a problem for the entire time the game has been out. I can’t believe it hasn’t been addressed.

[proper raft]

Happy new year Scopely, I hope you produce less bugs this year!

[edgy harness]

Incorrect. They made it wider so the whales could have more targets to mash.

[nova sierra]

Lol. True.

[next haven]

They adjusted pvp range three years ago when 39 was the top level. They have let it get ridiculous with the addition of 21 levels.

[short lichen]

<@&509690795536941056> Happy New Year and some of my players are saying the venomed status of a ship is no longer shown in battle logs? If true why was it removed?

[graceful lotus]

Hey guys, any chance we can get this font all the time for the RSS? It is easier on the eyes. Also while you are at it, can we shrink the ships at the bottom down too?

[brazen oracle]

How am I supposed to complete the Orion Corvette research field training milestone if I've already researched it?

[shrewd badger]

they are working on a fix

[grizzled flint]

Is there anyway to look up what mission I’ve completed. I use iOS phone?

[dense timber]

Need more missions at level 30 to get Friendly with Different Factions. When this big upgrade happened I accidentally clicked on my friendly alliance missions. I lost 1M friendly reputation. I don't see how I could have lost so much in a couple days.

[orchid terrace]

This game is complete trash, you cant repair station guns during an attack and support hasnt responded in 4 days since proof was submitted.

[cursive snow]

Oh wow, I was gonna get that one next too

[ebon coyote]

Can we please bring back being able to attack an armada during the 10 second countdown? The fact that you guys removed it panders too heavily to the whales, making it impossible to stop an assault on your Starbase when you have a lvl60 there with an Ent D. We just had an assault happen to us. We hit the leader at 12 seconds, they obviously won because credit card strength, and the game still counted them in the circle. It's unfun when you hinder our progress or we flat out lose progress just so you can make your bottom line. Makes people not want to spend, or quit altogether.

[crimson stream]

Maybe they'll get the message when players move to star trek online

[vale wasp]

Please contact CS with your concerns.

[robust moth]

At some point you guys decided to put an indicator on everything. Now doing domination is a pain in the butt because I can't see which officers can be leveled up, because they've all got an upgrade indicator. Why essentially remove a feature that was working just fine before?
I know tons of people have complained about this, why is it still not fixed?

[nova sierra]

it's surely less immediate, but you can still tell who can go up some levels because you see both the actual officer level and its grade, in your screen only Grush can be leveled up by 2 levels since all the officers are grade 4 and 20 is the max level for a grade 4

I no more look at the arrows since they do not display a single information, and so they are almost useless

in the end I would like too for the traits to not be displayed in the same way as a possible level up, since this create confusion, but it seems to me that the ui designers are going for the opposite route, with all this unneded red pips showing up lately they seems to aim at overloading us with warnings/signals to increase our confusion instead of reducing it

[sullen wadi]

I mean, yeah I agree that the arrow showing only that trait xp is available is somewhat annoying - but, the officer level and rank are also shown right there.

4 bars, max level 20
3 bars, max level 15 - and so on down to one bar
Star, max level 30.

Yeah it means one is looking for different things, and it’s a bit less straightforward, but - there is a way to tell

[robust moth]

True enough, but at that point you're not glancing, you're actively comparing rank/level for every officer.

[mystic forge]

Sooooooo...... When do WE get a chest that has 930 SWN Pike, 200 SNW Spock, 200 SNW La'an, AND 200 Barkley????
(From your STFC in-game Ad)

[umbral thistle]

That's $1000 chest right there. (If not more)

[subtle nacelle]

Please, for the love of god increase the actian hostiles with buffs. Everyone has a mantis now after the event store, 10 ships in a system waiting for 1 hostile to show up with the third buff. It’s a massive pain

[hollow pike]

Use a bigger ship and just kill the apex hostiles.

[velvet sonnet]

you dont even need a big ship :

[warm widget]

so have the support taken a holyday brake since they dont awnser there mails ?

[snow crown]

Happy new year

[cyan portal]

Golly 3 whole sisko shards lol

[tender cedar]

5 o brien Charts... Epic slow clap

[tawdry rivet]

id trade my 3 weyoun shards for either of those~

[cold seal]

No

[tender cedar]

Random gifts are💩

[old bison]

Would anyone know when the next the arc begins?

[cyan portal]

Next week I'd assume...incursion this week

[restive remnant]

3 Jadzia shards. 2 turtledoves. And another year of SFTC.

[bitter hearth]

in-game where is more than hundret crew and each of them needs several hundred or thousand to max ... we give 3-5 bps:D

[royal raven]

Report function seems ignored half the time. Is there anyone monitoring the game chat? You guys should have a community mod program so messages can be moderated faster than 5-7 business days.

[livid stone]

@tacit obsidian and @royal solar - I realize its the holidays, but as a company that provides a 24/7 user experience, so much is lacking in QC and communications from Scopely. You all announce incursions before the holidays, but give no indication on what servers are occurring on what days. Take five minutes from your holiday Netflix binge and drop a post :). Also, you have a major bug in bases that have that new dock which will break incursions for many folks (I am not one of them). If that bug isnt fixed before the 3rd, Scopely really should postpone incursions again. Its a big enough bug in the main scoring area of incursions to warrant the delay. Also, why the sudden three day incursion prep event? Just lacking other events so someone said why not? Last thing, you all doubled up the CM role but didnt double up the coverage time for the role. Strange you would have two CMs working essentially the same schedule when you could double your online presence instead (not saying I would want the swing shift either, but as a game with a global audience, it seems logical). Sorry for the Ted talk, just venting the frustration we hear on our individual servers from so many of your customers. Fix the bugs and work HEAVILY on better communications. It also woudl take tons of pressure off your volunteer discord mods too :). Heres to a new year and a slim hope Scopely makes some positive quality of life improvements 🙂

[tropic crown]

Just a head up but the refinery sucks.

[alpine solstice]

REALLY disappointing New Years store

[dire rose]

At ops 49 the daily grind is the same as ops 35 - 40 etc in terms of event rewards why not have different rewards based on ops levels, instead of adding more and more content adapt what you already have Swarm event same rewards but I already have all the shards for the officers (why not change them each time or wider selection of officers) same with most of the events, packs instead of items we get already why not have different packs based on ops level I don't need 2* for anything yet you still have them in the monthly packs try adding some extra armoury or treasury shards, have a recycle event where players can recycle all the junk we have collected because you keep adding more and more currencies and tokens. or a trade centre where players can trade junk for stuff they need!

[coral dagger]

Why is there not just a Log Out option? There's only Switch Accounts so if I have a new PC, install the app, it starts a new account, then only lets me Switch which gives one of two harrowing extremely unclear options.

[dire rose]

After install it asks you to login unless your using bluestacks ?how often do you get a new PC?

[zenith eagle]

Customer support on the game is an absolute joke. I’ve had a trouble ticket open since mid December and I e gotten one reply to answer a question that wasn’t even about the issue I had and then ghosted. I haven’t spent 100 grand on this game but I’ve spent thousands none the less. I feel sorry for the <@&509691205798592532> here as they are left high and dry by the game devs that do absolutely zero to address issues when we submit in game trouble tickets. In 4 years in game customer support has helped exactly zero times. Everytime it’s an excuse or they just close a ticket with zero resolved. I guess I’ll go completely f2p cause the thousands I’ve spent and others do obviously means zero to them.

[dire rose]

Junk

[nova sierra]

What is the point of this pack?, the only point that there can be is to rip off people who don’t know any better, please stop it scopley, it’s short sighted, if people buys these packs and see that it does so little for them they are gonna stop buying packs, you are a business and therefore have to make money but this goes beyond that way into conman territory!

[tranquil ermine]

That would be an amazing pack level 25-40, at the $25-35 price range. Remove the lat from it. People would buy that left right and center!

[nova sierra]

Yep I agree…it would be a great pack for $20

[next haven]

Fix the freaking pvp levels or adjust ship power. You acted like you cared about all players when 39 was the only level. Since then it is ridiculous. A level 28 ship could atleast put up a fight on a 28 ship. A 42 ship does nothing to a 50 and above. This causes players to quit... FIX PVP LEVELS INSTEAD OF CATETING TO HIGH SPEnDERS ALL THE TIME!!! You will lose players and eventually this game. A business enthusiasts from high school could easily see this.

[zenith eagle]

@next haven well they already ignore us all when we contact customer support.

[ember garden]

Can we have a broadcast ability for admirals to pm and whole alliance with 1 message?

[glad cradle]

If it won’t make them money, it’s never going to happen.

[ember garden]

Prime admiral messaging

[sullen matrix]

Right next to Prime Admiral Massaging

[tidal acorn]

I honestly and genuinely don't understand why every, or at least most items, can't at least be converted into lat and vice versa. That's how baffling it is not to have such an expanded system

It's so simple and builds on what's already there

[sullen matrix]

You get so much lat, conversion would only make sense for old currencies.
The other way around would empower spenders even more

[hollow pike]

Lat doesn’t last long at higher levels when every research takes several hundred days

[desert sand]

Probably been suggested before, but game really needs to add a "completed missions" feature (maybe let you archive completed mission to already existing "archive mission" bit. it can be hard to figfure ot what issions still need to be done and scouting 1000+ systems would take a lifetime.

[lilac nebula]

10 days stuck. insanity. Put in a new ticket just to be sure. #8735795 Not feeling supported whatsoever. <@&509690795536941056>

[vale wasp]

What contact methods did they use?

[lilac nebula]

Tribbleshoot x 5 and a few emails. I put in a ticket on his behalf this last time. (Sorry for slow responses. Slow mode is on.) Yes. The last ticket number is the one I JUST put in. Original ticket number 8701944

[vale wasp]

Is that listed ticket number yours?

[lilac nebula]

responded in edits above

[spare vapor]

@royal solar will there be a bonus refinery anytime soon?

[livid pasture]

If we’re losing another incursions instead of just getting it postponed, we’d better get what we’re not getting from it. I’m already down 45 una shards, 15k subspace relays, 2500 incursión event store loot, and more because of last incursions being canceled.

[brazen oracle]

You can't build an entire sourcing path around an event you constantly cancel

[coarse sundial]

can you get some new tech people who can do the job?

[crystal dew]

They'd have to spend a few % of their profits to do that, simply unacceptable

[jade patio]

Make up your mind in those announcements. Are you having issues with bases or stations. They are two different things in this game (and you’d think whoever puts these official announcements together would know that).

[weary niche]

<@&509691205798592532> Will the postponement of Incursions affect the scheduled server mergers set for tomorrow?

[dry nest]

Incursions are annoying at the best of time (yes I still participate fully) but interrupting a battlepass for the incursion is not a great idea

[candid forge]

Are they going to do a dock pack for just the dock like they did the first time the extra one was released?

[exotic tangle]

We where merged last time so no incursion it’s getting silly now at least last event had a mantis path

[timber folio]

I would just ask that they don't make us go through three days of infrastructure first. the cost of participating is way greater than any rewards we get if it's repeated

[vague trellis]

I swear if we have another round of preparations for incursions lol

[dry nest]

Apparently not. I have asked previously

[opaque raft]

Will there be any ingame announcements when incursion will be live? Or are players not on discord denied info on that?

[analog bolt]

#⭐-official-announcements

[smoky plover]

Scopely, I am not complaining about incursions being cancelled because personally I think they are the second dumbest event you've created next to the assaults. However, it's funny how the upgrade pack store NEVER has any coding problems.

[candid forge]

Thanks for the reply. If they are going to make us get the bigger pack they should at least put half the value of the Winter packs in it. That would at least make enough sense to me to get it.

[urban lodge]

I put in a ticket about a false charge and it’s been 7 days lol

[vital sequoia]

Good job on cancelling/postponing incursions. So far, the best incursions have been no incursions at all.

[opaque raft]

Saying they’ll inform everyone, doesn’t mean that’ll actually happen. Proper communication isn’t one of Scopely’s strong points.
A simple improvement would be if they actually would use ingame bulletin board for such info.

[smoky plover]

Thankfully at least Bek communicates on Discord, which is an improvement prior to her being hired. Baby steps.

[fallen epoch]

I’ve asked about an IGN

[tired tundra]

makes sense, but as we all know it is to complicated 🤣

[mild hemlock]

No change on server mergers.

[weary niche]

Thank you

[slender portal]

Bring back Reputation packs

[zenith eagle]

Wait in line. My ticket has been over 2 weeks

[coral dagger]

In the next 3 days you'll likely get a response asking for your Player ID. That you already gave them.

[woeful nymph]

Please consider postponing Incursions till after the upcoming arc rather than during it. Incursions during an ARC is a very very very bad idea

[wooden spire]

261 level 40-42 red triangles to complete faction hunt? On top of all the red triangles for jem hadar, actian, swarm, Borg, etc? Really? You must be joking. Put the blunt out and get serious. I have a life. A crappy one, but a life. 😄

[prisma gate]

@royal solar @tacit obsidian Another week has gone by and still no gift for S65 for the other merge. It has been 2 months since our 1st merged had happened with S39 (no gift) followed a week later by a 2nd merge with S64 (got gift)
No update from anyone about when this gift is going to happen. How long do we have to wait?

[brisk vortex]

Postpone incursions forever. Not everyone enjoys them and forcing everyone to be a part of it, or avoid the game during that time frame, is not a beneficial gaming environment. Perhaps instead you could use some of those empty servers…. Let all the folks that want to participate, port over to the empty servers. The folks that do not want to participate can just go about their normal game.

[rare coral]

How about posting about delays in incursions IN THE GAME instead of on discord.. my god.

[tardy meadow]

Excuse me, but Wtf is this?

[crystal dew]

What about it?

[fallen epoch]

They had a significantly better crew than you

[edgy harness]

Wtf it is is you crewing with two officers who have zero impact on pve or pvp

[glad nimbus]

S65 still waiting on merge gift…unless that was the merge event which was pathetically pointless. Also don’t recall getting the rss for having to redo territory, twice.

<@&509690795536941056> any ideas when we’ll get those? It’s only been a few months….

Also, for the wider community, are we going to get an event schedule ever? I don’t recall ever seeing anything for the flash pass, Christmas/New Years, incursion(prep), cow or faction hunt. Is battlepass going to start early because no incursion, or will we be several days in before we find out what’s coming?

[fallen epoch]

Passed on

[fluid crystal]

That is some of the worst crewing I've seen

[mint sky]

Ong

[tardy meadow]

as you can see in the they have 0.30k more firepower than me, and significantly less hull, plus less hull health (im guessing from a different battle)

[crystal dew]

They have kirk+spock for shield regen your crew does almost nothing for pvp

[tardy meadow]

then where is their shield?

[nova dune]

Look at your battle report. You'll likely see that your shield was depleted before theirs was, so you took full hull damage while they were still taking shield damage.

[boreal ferry]

Mate crew matters way more than hull, the number differences are tiny. You’ve got 2 warp officers and then Javaid who just buffs shield or hulk health, don’t remember. Whereas spock and Kirk and working to replenish their own shields while uhura increases accuracy. (Granted not the best crew selection everrrr but at least actually does something). Try actually reading crew descriptions and asking questions within your alliance etc

[nova sierra]

@tacit obsidian how about you sort out cusomer support, wait up to 5 days for a reply and sometimes they just close the ticket on you,

[plucky osprey]

I think the chat in the game can still be significantly improved. The admiral should be able to send a PN to all alliance members at the same time. You could also do your own group rooms and something like that there, for example for better coordination with Armadas. It would be nice if this possibility were examined during the next updates

[remote flume]

Why post a road map that isn't going to be followed? We were promised a merge between 3am and 6am. There are probably people who didn't shield thinking the ceasefire shield would go up. Are you going to compensate those players when they get raided?

[cyan cedar]

we just got an hour warning

[remote flume]

That's encouraging!

That's because you don't spend enough to make it worth their time, it's a well known fact that the accuracy and quality of assistance is directly tied to how much you spend, kinda like how a whale in our server found out about what date we were going to merge months before it was announced

FIx the GD power/destroyed/raided leaderboards, got 3 servers on here now.

[grave quest]

can we please have more mantis systems now that everyone and their mother's uncle has one? The systems are always so full that it is sometimes impossible to get in. also, please, more DS mining nodes! particularly for the entry levels...

[urban verge]

I really hope this incursion that is coming has some beefed up rewards with how long we've had to wait.

Right now we are having to wait because of a bug that was added into the game just to get very high players to spend money on another dock. It can only be obtained through cash. Because of greed everyone is now suffering. I understand wanting to get as much money from us as possible but when it starts breaking the game that becomes a huge issue.

I'm just genuinely disappointed and it's hard to disappoint me anymore with this game. I truly hope you make it up to all of us in the coming months.

It's crazy to me that there is no testing done with new features like this. Adding another dock on seems like something you'd want to test first.

[modern topaz]

Please, please, please use in game news to let pkayers know what is going on. Leaving it to Discord and Facebook is a blinkered view.

[true zealot]

They can discord from home. In game news prob requires folks to be in work. God forbid someone celebrated the holidays.

[cobalt night]

Instead of Incursions starting today Scopley added new enemy (Hostile Space Geese) level 25+.

[slim lake]

Every time I have to submit a ticket I get this same immediate response. This raises several questions:

1. Is my timing that bad that I only need to submit tickets at times when there is an increased volumes of tickets that require 72 hours for a response?
2. What constitutes "an increased volume"?
3. Does Scopley just say this to make it sound like a 72 hour wait is not typical? If so remember this, if there is something not working right that requires me to have to create a ticket then I am already annoyed by the issue. Downplaying the normal volume of tickets and wait time as being due to "an increased volume" does nothing to help the situation. I do not need you to make matters worse by blowing smoke up my ass and claiming this is due to a phantom increased volume. It does not help. It does not make me feel any better. It only makes things worse.

I get it, it takes time for the team to go through all the tickets that you receive. Be honest about it. Don't fabricate and bogus "increased volume". Own the situation and be honest about it!

[compact terrace]

would you prefer: "hey... we dont really want to help you quickly as it costs us money to hire more people and we have a ton of bugs and a lot of apps to support"??? 🙂

[slim lake]

Actually, yes. It would at least be a lot more honest than their "increased volume" line...

[compact terrace]

it's not PC for someone to actualy say that... nor would the marketing department approve.... heads would roll and if you read between the lines... increased volume means they are currently in the middle of crazy amounts of bugs after crippling their own app to do simple things like pressing the attack button. 🙂 ok... sarcasm and reality filter off now... 🙂 have a happy new year. 🙂

[slim lake]

I totally get everything you are saying. My point is: "increased volume" means a lot more than "normal". They have a team that can handle the normal volume in a time frame that Scopley feels is a balance between that time frame and the cost to hire a bigger team to handle them faster. My issue is that they are trying to downplay the time it takes by ALWAYS claiming that the normal time is due to an increased volume.

OK, rant over...

[true zealot]

I just met you, and this is crazy. Where's my incursion store? Upload, maybe?

[dim hemlock]

Are you guys going to fix the field training or just leave it stuck?

[slim lake]

I finished mine last week. What is stuck for you?

[dim hemlock]

Research Orion corvette

[dim hemlock]

So that’s a scopely could careless answer I suppose

[sacred garden]

Holodeck is actually a pretty useless building unless your willing to buy the stuff to even use it. I for one not willing to do so for cost outweighs the rewards. Which it was don like armory materials, the treasury diodes, the borg warp, the mantis warp and venom and the cloaking material where you actually get a little everyday to were you can do something with it rather then it just setting there like a bump on a log worthless unless you pay to use it. Heck you can’t even upgrade it and because of that it looks so out of place around all these high level buildings. Still don’t get why we needed another building that does exact same thing as the hanger aka refit center since it’s not a true hanger. Sure armory Building itself gives a few different buffs but everything inside is exact same as what’s in the hanger. Same does not equal new.

[woeful nymph]

Yeah, I had to update a bunch of people in my Alliance today that don't follow discord and missed the few alliance messages we posted. Please give @royal solar and @tacit obsidian the ability to post in game news updates as well. It can be a simple cut an paste if you give them the correct permissions/abilities in game.

[tranquil sandal]

Could've even use the maintenance warning message, just post something from there

[frosty wolf]

samesies. all the bug fixes and field training is still borked

[hidden night]

Can we please have the G3 miners removed from the loot chests in Capital systems and put the BP drop rate for G4 ships back to what it was 3 weeks ago? I was pulling 4 or 5 G4 bps a day from 50 chests, now I'm luck to pull 1 G4 bp from 100 chests but hey, I need 15 more Antares prints to add to the 4 I can already build. Today was the first day in almost 2 weeks that I pulled a G4 print from Kronos and I can't use it for another 5 levels lol. And before anyone says 4 or 5 out of 50 seems to good to be true, even that was horrible when its spread across 3 ships but its infinitely better than 1 in 100.

[daring yoke]

After cancelling the much beloved "ha ha" incursion, what's the schedule for the remaining lame week before next arc?

[potent shard]

So the clue for the new arc reads.... 2023 will bring back an old geometrically-obsessed enemy you faced before.
Why you dumping on voyager?

Unless it is, since most likely it's Borg. And if it is will we be seeing voyagers ship and the armor refit?

[fallen epoch]

Reduce caps please

[leaden walrus]

delete my message, arent we high and mighty behind that f

[frigid cedar]

Please stop charging so much for everything. $100 for a 2nd ship repair slot is just ridiculous. Have you ever heard of the principle of charge less to get the consumer to spend more? If you offered more packs/items/services at $4.99, $9.99, $14.99 & even $19.99 I guarantee more players would be more tempted to spend more often...I know I would. But $49.99 and $99.99 for most packs in the store is so absurd.

[analog yoke]

I think to stop alliance stacking they need to take away research associate with starbase until you have appropraite rank

[glad cradle]

Incursions wasn’t canceled; it was only postponed.

[sullen parrot]

The game is unplayable. I've killed the max number of hostiles today due to a grind event so now I can't grind more needed materials

[edgy harness]

This isn’t meant as derogatory or harmful, but…. Go do something else with your life.
You are talking about having spent around 4 hours in this game doing nothing but constantly clicking on a red triangle, and you are mad you can’t do it more.

Please seek help for at least one type of an addiction syndrome.

[crystal furnace]

And yet here you are

[edgy harness]

Ohnoes, I pop in a few minutes a day on a discord server here while at work. You’ve sure got me!

[nova sierra]

The skin would be a good extension for the Enterprise.

[old seal]

What an awesome avatar.....did we miss an event? 😂😂😂

[sullen parrot]

And actually I don't. I have planned and utilized keeping 1 faction hostile so that they click on me instead, and yet that still counts against me so I can not get codes or any other special loot needed to refine into other things that need to be grind daily. As one who is unable to spend, grinding is my only hope to try to get close to the level of a dolphin (not gonna even claim to be close to whales). But they choose to spend that to get advantage over players like me. So in reality my addiction is scopleys benefit. They need to find a better way to fix the bot issue (if that's even really what it's about)

[zealous trellis]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar Fix the power/destroy/raid leaderboards to JUST have our own server listed...

[shut rivet]

Resources raided board on 47 hasn't updated since September anyway

[sullen matrix]

well, postponing is pretty much cancelling. To really have it postponed would mean that we will have 2x Incursions in a row, 1 at the end of the month and one at the beginning of the month.
Its just scopely wording for cancelling.

[glad cradle]

The announcement clearly stated that they plan to have it later this month; after the arc start.

[sullen matrix]

did you read what i wrote?

[nova sierra]

"after the release of the new arc" may be interpreted both as after its launch or after its end, it would be an unpleasant precedent if they do end up running an incursion during a battle pass, so I hope it would be the latter

also only now I've noticed they used the word "arc" and not battle pass or part, usually an arc runs for more than one month, since it is composed of multiple parts, each part is a single battle pass (so a single month), strange choice of words on their part

[crystal dew]

They have run incursion during battle pass already, the first one was for sure. The 2nd one might of can't remember. Shockingly world did not end.

[high kettle]

Just wanted to say thank you guys for having such a fun game. It can seem like a grind, but it's plenty of variety to keep everyone engaged and entertained! Here's to an amazing 2023!

[rose nacelle]

Lag, lag, and more lag, to the point everything crashes during takeovers. What else is there to say?

[weary elk]

The cancelation of incursion was handled incredibly poorly.

[jade island]

Any chance of adding more deep space g4 nodes? Ever since the server merge, it's impossible to mine anything at all!

[gusty bone]

Merging of server 151 to 143 was unessesary. Now on an over crowded server. Mining is now a joke.

[blissful delta]

The T5 cherritos event is horrible.

[tidal roost]

Missing node will give a lot of players and little node scopley or you do not see the problem?

[burnt gazelle]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar Happy day Eco and Bek....I really appreciate the improved communication over the last few months. Thanks!

[tidal roost]

You connected 2 servers and missing node g4 or you are normal?

[echo prism]

@royal solar I really dont understand why Discord is the communication tool of choice over the game itself. Can Scopely please recommit to using the "news channel" in the game to communicate to the players?
You have a very limited subset of players in Discord.

[true zealot]

Yet here you are

[royal solar]

We do try to do as much internal in-game messaging as we can, but anything that goes in game has to be submitted for translations of several different languages, which won't give us the turnaround we need for quicker news items. I definitely hear you and your feedback, and we will continue to aim to get better communication going out to the players.

[steep socket]

Google translate FTW :p

[next haven]

Fix pvp levels the range is ridiculous and you know it. When the ONLY potential argument for is raiding, and a high level player has to crack, it is a garbage and broken system. There are enough players above 50 on each server. FIX THE GAME.

[potent shard]

@next haven actually no there is not. Server 87 (I'm in) has no one above 39 yet. As well as other servers.

[next haven]

Then your pvp levels are terrible yet, believe it or not. There is enough to justify adjusting ship and pvp like they did 3 years ago.

[potent shard]

It's not pvp thing, they have stated it will be unlocked when they feel enough people are in the server.

[next haven]

It was a few years before they unlocked 40-50, and then up to 60. The point of my post is, pvp levels need adjusted and so does ship power. Levels 40 through 60 are absolutely ridiculous, scopely knows it and ignores it.

[solid jay]

Station defense issues needing desperate attention and compensation.
The station repair button is failing to show up when any of my turrets are destroyed. This makes it easy to be taken advantage of when having to reload the game during an active defense. I should not have had to use a sheild in this case but I lost 50 mil rss anyway.
Plead fix this and all other problems before releasing more content. The game is becoming unplayable

[solid jay]

It's absolutely ridiculous that someone with a 100 million ship can hit an ops 39 base whose total power isn't even 75% when properly crewed for defense

[next haven]

Absolutely. I remember when the saladin destroyed every ship because power balance was terrible. If they adjusted ship power the levels may be less bad with these new crews. 8 up and dowm from 34 on after ship balance, makes a level of sense.

[solid jay]

It also enables the pay to bully players attitude, sure its profitable but many players quit because of it.

[rustic lynx]

Bajoran hostile need some tweaks, for now the best way is farming with pmc in the lvl50 system and that system is very crowded. Going for higher hostiles only leads to lower amount of antimatter, because pmc wont work and the rewards are only slightly higher…

Faction hostiles in g5 space give alot more reputation than in g4 space that make it work going for the g5 without pmc, same is needed in bajoran space. Lvl51+ system should give alot more antimatter to compensate the pmc effect.

[barren kernel]

Hi, I have some feedback on your response. 1. As the op said, only a small number of players are in discord, so to choose to communicate to only the smaller portion of the population doesn’t seem to be efficient. How many players moved their bases for incursion because they did not receive communication that it was canceled? 2. We were on here for days asking for communication about a schedule. The news released was not done “quickly” there was plenty of time to translate. Thank you.

[crystal dew]

Any base can be cracked by a Saladin (or baby jelly etc) if you have Rom and they aren't using Kras for base defense. Get a few friends together all hitting and it doesn't even take that long.

[zinc swan]

Another reason communication on events is nice is it generates hype. It seems to me that players get a lot more excited and are more likely to be engaged with the content if they have some warning.

I feel like it's not a huge ask have the billboard in game to show the upcoming major events for the next week or so. Or even updating the events menu ui so there is less scrolling/entering sub-menus, and having an upcoming events portion.

Interim-bp events are relatively predictable, but vary enough to really annoy the player base (i.e. Bonus refinery, just run it on the 28th every month or something)

[sacred garden]

As a 4yr veteran of this game I’ve seen it improve in some areas and get far worse in other areas. Yes a lot of new stuff came that improved the game, but unfortunately far more bugs, lags , other issues and straight up unfairness to try to force people to spend money has made the game far worse then it ever was. I use to play for fun enjoying the game and to see what new stuff would come to improve the game. Now I play just to feel like I getting my moneys worth for what I have spent in the last year and a half. I dread more and more the new features to come instead of being more excited for them. This is because those new features bring with it more issues from bugs , glitches and lag to more one sided unfairness that only benefits those who can afford to spend thousands on this game.. thank you scopley for sucking the fun and enjoyment out of the game.

[short iron]

i go offline for awhile this game is unplayable with these lags

[neat pier]

Could EU servers have shields please for those that are unable to get into the game/ those that can get in but cannot do anything once they are. On the other hand those that are in may not be able to raid due to the horrendous lag.

and btw, you can convert them. It’s called scrapping.
If you build and tier a g3 ship, you get g4.

Depends of course on your ops, shipyard to build those ships and scrapyard to scrap them 🙂

[short iron]

men i hope it will be working tomorrow just checked and the gameplay is still horrible

[warped vault]

Hemmer's Synergy needs to be fixed. He wasn't originally planned as the Survey ship killer officer, at least he didnt seem that way with the venom abilities originally. But since he was made to fill that role now, all the other SNW crews make a Synergy set with Pike for their respective hostiles except Hemmer who is an Engineer instead of Science. Can't you just make it so his Synergy is treated as an Science officer when with two other SNW crew members?

[fallen epoch]

Hemmer and Pike aren’t the issue. Change Laan for another officer

[warped vault]

But it looks as if the intention is once Una is Tiered up enough, she replaces Laan, leaving the same problem. All the other anti-hostiles are Science officers and work as they should synergy-wise. Hemmer doesn't because he didnt start off as an anti-hostile

[mortal helm]

How is this a "problem"? You can crew up for a system with one of the battle triangle plus surveys the way it is. Or you can choose to use laan for faster travel, una for faster impulse and have to recrew to hit surveys. What we have now is more flexible and preferable to locking a snw crewed shop to a single type of hostile. Given that snw pike Hemmer and una are all epics you could say it is intended that you use only one at a time. It is a choice and I would rather have a synergy that works for two kinds of ships in systems that are structured that way.

[red cliff]

They need a new captain besides snw pike...he's the only one. Without him everyone is sorta useless

[nova sierra]

the game is spawning too many actian chrysalis without exocomps, to the point I see not a single one with them in the 34 level system right now

[short iron]

will the game be playable this evening? i just completed my daily's because of the lag from yesterday hope that this will not happen every day now

[lament narwhal]

Bring back prime swarm refinery pack

[severe wren]

That’s literally by game design 😄 Pike leads…Picard leads…there is always this one epic 😄 and no…actually the rares from the snw crew are still useful even not in an snw set up 😄 minimum 1 setup I do use 😄 Be creative with crews 😀 look in forums what others do, good source 😀

[potent blade]

STFC is seriously lacking of a store where you can buy only you need, and at reasonable prices (purchasing with refined latinum would be best). We need access to larger quantities of uncommon minerals and Ship XP. Your $140 deals are a joke. Most players can't afford this and they don't give us anywhere near enough of what we need. I've got fully tiered ships that are 20 power levels below where they should be and every day it is getting worse.

[magic anvil]

Why is there no ability to send a DM to every alliance member as an Admiral or Commodore? Or a notification on the general HUD to show when there's an announcement from Admiral/Commodores? The little announcement box in the Alliance screen is rubbish in my opinion.

[leaden sleet]

Lvl 51+ hostile grinding crew suggestions

Still pmc. At 52+ you'll need to change it up.

well what is that crew then? got a big asking

Strange New Worlds crews

[crude sandal]

with a sufficiently large ship - too many people expect it to work as well as PMC on the same size ship they were using up to that point 😂

[mild ore]

Found a problem with the Mantis. Energy weapons are the exact same gun. Different $$. Both have ALL the same specs, say 1. Fire on round 1, 4, 7 vs 2, 5, 8. $copely support implies that is worth a higher price tag. I strongly disagree.

[solid jay]

The fact an Ops 54 player can attack an ops 39 player and use surveys that the 39 player cannot destroy is freaking ridiculous. This may generate some profits but it's a cause for toxic behavior in game, I would like to see the cut off for pvp range of an ops 39 be set to ops 49 or 50 where if I build up strong enough I have at least a chance to defend myself and allow the bullies to level past the ability to press on lower level players. It's pay to play not pay to be a jerk.

[random lintel]

Better officer sourcing on the Cerritos refinery is desperately needed.

[cosmic knoll]

WHERE is the incursion store ty

wasnt there an announcement that currency and store would be made avail. to us? just a helpful reminder incase youre all still recovering from nye

[solid jay]

Super fun awesome glitch on the Spock mining event. The rewards are not being added to my stockpiles despite getting multiple notifications for the same tier.

[weak panther]

fleet commander spock event disappeared lol ooops probably wasnt meant to go live

[mossy glacier]

It clearly wasn't since they completed the "We Are the Borg" event and Fleet Commanders aren't a thing, yet. Lol

[quaint nimbus]

Yay events, coming and going … make up your mind 😡

[north spire]

Yeah thanks. Some of us were working on that event Dopely

[floral palm]

And the res is gone ….. finish the mining one 🙈

[mortal helm]

Somebody just gave away the new arc

[rose nacelle]

Still gonna complain about outrageous lag during takeovers. Can’t even target enemies. End up killed instead. Lots of fun, scopely. I love repairing stuff instead of actually playing.

[gleaming nebula]

Is the reward for repairing any good? 😁😉

[rose nacelle]

Good for the daily faction rep and credits lol creeping up on that triple lock, so it doesn’t suck that bad.

[astral fractal]

Man what a mess.

[nova sierra]

Ahahahahahahahhaha epic

[cosmic knoll]

they did that to make you forget about the incursion shop and currency that we supposed to get

[quiet wadi]

how to save 5th officrew? always i try an other gets deleted soon. stupid bug

[fallen epoch]

Try work around pinned in #👾-bug-reporting you will need to repeat it till your first crew slot gets cleared then you save it one last time and then it’s fixed

[quiet wadi]

i ll try that.

but how stupid this is? bugs everywhere...

[vagrant gyro]

Pathetic free gift, 1 Dax and 1 Odo shard

[tropic crown]

At least you got that so far I got nothing.

[obsidian plinth]

@royal solar you are correct, it was a very small gift considering the problems in the game over the last couple of days

However, you have my respect, being an Admiral can be hard work, but making the best of the position you are in being the go between between players and a company who have shown time and time again that they have no interest in our gameplay, only the money we spend, must be almost impossible

[cosmic knoll]

so, any news on the incursion shop/rss/comp? or has that disappeared? the fake release of station commander spock now replaced the memory of incursion lol

[lusty hedge]

Still the field traing is stuck have build 2 orion corvettes and upgraded them bit te reaearch for it was done long time ago but it does not auto complete fix it

[jaunty vigil]

@royal solar started the event, completed it. Compensation is pathetic, rather have the resources earned for completing the event.

[acoustic cloud]

@royal solar shpuld just run a weyoun auction since we have nothing else to do this week 😂

[cosmic knoll]

@lusty hedge you can farm/grind orion corvatte prints in lvl9 systems, just wait for the next 3 missions after you BUILT it .. its to research to UNLOCK IT ... hahaha i mean wtfidiots you put an milestone to build 1 before the research to unlock it .... hahahahaha, oh wait, they changed it so now everyone thinks im taking the pee

[velvet sonnet]

whats the point for starting filling 2 years old server with new starting players ? they are anyway transfering away quicker then you can say " hello " ...

[harsh anvil]

Why mantis primes are never in the shop?! Like i want to give you money and you just straight up refuse it lol

[true pivot]

Not for nothing, but if I’m going to spend money, I want to choose what I am buying and not getting a chance for items. I think you would get more people spending if everything was A La Cart. So if I want certain ship shards or specific offers XP or ship parts or whatever I should be able to choose specifically what I’m paying for. At least think about it….

[modest willow]

I need your help with Field Training Ships... they say Orion Corvette in research. I already Max out and build ship. I think it glitch. Anyway I got 19/24. I would like to solve problems thanks

[potent silo]

Most people have the same problem, it will be fixed directly by scopely but there no date yet. We can only wait a bit more

[modest willow]

OK many thanks

[devout blade]

a what? lol

[chrome vortex]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar can you please ask that they fix the in game leader boards and the issues with swarm raiding? Thank You for your help

[warped vault]

No it isnt flexible at all. The SNW officers work in full Synergy together vs a specific hostile type. Getting you the maximum value out of Pike's ability as Captain of each. With Hemmer being changed after the original design, he doesnt get Pike's full Synergy value. It would be better if he was setup exactly like Spock, Uhura, and Oretga are, so that he can also be Synergized properly with Una or Laan.

[nova sierra]

it is more flexible in the sense that you can target two types of hostiles in a single "session", keeping Pike at max synergy, for example if there is a system with both explorers and transports, you can put snw pike, snw hemmer, and swn ortega on an augur and go take down both explorers and transports

[zealous trellis]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar fix the power/destroy/raid server leaderboards

[fallen epoch]

You said it 4 times in 4 days. No need for it.

[dusty token]

Has there been a change in the drop rates of hostile chests in the capital systems? The last 2 weeks, I have gotten very low drops. I was reliably getting plans and chests and now almost nothing.

[umbral matrix]

Leveling up at the start is quite difficult around lvl 13 with end missions involving destroying ships at 10000 hp or more.

[short lichen]

More alliance diplomacy marking options please!!

[tropic crown]

Laaaaaaag

[solid jay]

Really bad lag at reset today. So bad I can't play the game keeps timing out.

[midnight bone]

☝🏼 what Borks said

[bold jewel]

What's the point of a bonus refinery if the refinery is broken?

[vital sequoia]

Game is timing out over and over. This sucks

[fierce turret]

Looks like the bonus refinery is not benefiting from the Bajoran Favors 😦 I still enjoy it...but I would enjoy it more, if the favors would work on it.

[wild goblet]

Some bonus refinery! BROKEN!! Why do we play this buggy game?

[rancid owl]

Better than expected. Still a lot to rethink here, relating to incursions. Hope whatever changes are made are significant.

[echo mirage]

Lag.

[peak solstice]

Why is the incursions gift amount based on ops level? Everyone should be getting the same amount imo. Kind of a slap in the face @tacit obsidian

[potent silo]

How many did you had, and what op are you?

[peak solstice]

I have 2 accounts. My ops *40 got 1600 currency and my ops 44 got 1800.

I know it us not a huge difference but if incursions were running everyone has the same opportunity to obtain the same amounts of currency (aside from LBs)

[vale wasp]

49's chest was 1800 also.

[arctic belfry]

There is no a cosmic clean up store

[tidal acorn]

The incursions store would be fine if it wasn't for it being the only and current source for the strike team officers. But since it is, it's disappointing when you have such bad drop rates for the below decks officers in the cerritos refinery but you get a weekly event and accompanying refines with it. However, incursions happen every month or so if there aren't problems but yeah, problems with incursions too, and ongoing. Do y'all see a pattern here?

Also, improve the cerritos refinery shard drops 🤣

[brazen prism]

Is there any way to get materials for this building, outside of incursion victory... Just by doing your dailies for example

[modern jolt]

Server EU 109 got none <@&509691205798592532> is that correct?

[potent silo]

It's rolling out slowly.

[polar basin]

Nova has been demoted 😢

[fallen epoch]

Ops 41

[peak solstice]

Corrected above reply (*ops 40 - not 41)

[crystal dew]

Nope it's been stuck for like 3 months now for everyone unless you bought a pack

[junior current]

I’m ops 40 , I got 1800

[ripe thicket]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar thank you for the incursion gift. IMHO, it is an insult and another example of bad disrespect for the community. I would rather have gotten nothing than this gift. You have basically called everyone a loser because this is less rewards than what most players would have gotten, even if they lost.

If you want to truly send out an apology gift, here is my suggestion. Take the rewards that players would get for completing the events, all the events. Take the rewards for a player finishing halfway on the leaderboards. Now take all that could have been earned by a normal, average player and double it.

Now, take the rewards for the winning server and add that to it.

This should be the rewards pack. All that rss, all those uncommons+, all the officer shards, that vital and important winning week long exo...all of it.

Giving us 1800 incursion credits. 4 epic shards...that is a grave injustice and an insult. I would rather have nothing. It is disrespectful and hurtful. That is not an apology gift. This feels like the smallest attempt to placate folks and to me, it is not only a failure but another notch and reason to leave the game.

[neat sparrow]

I am ops 35 and got 1,800 of thoes

[fallen epoch]

Thanks for confirming. Everyone should have gotten the same.

I want refits on the Store

[charred zenith]

why don't we have the new ST officers in the incursion event store?

[heavy needle]

@royal solar @tacit obsidian

[nova sierra]

You’ve managed to include everything except the actual issue 😅

[nova sierra]

Massive lag on EU-108 yet again! Just shows the incompetence of Scopely considering this is a new server. Beyond the joke now along with all the other ongoing issues and bugs (zoom, Field Training) to name just a couple

[charred zenith]

Server 122 had lag issue too

[next haven]

It's a feature not an issue.

[split quarry]

I have been trying to get my gold cardassian disruptor too…. I have spent the last 6/8weeks trying to get cs to investigate a problem despite having a history of items going missing or not tracking properly. Despite completing all the events I’m sitting with 74/75 shards and 200/300 data rods while others in my alliance got the projectile and still had several thousand to spare. Customer service either don’t read the message and just close it or tell you a pack of lies! I don’t know how many times I’ve had agents contradicting themselves.
There is clearly an issue with this yet they put their heads in the sand and refuse to help their player base. Their customer service is truly the worst I’ve experienced and because of it have refused to buy anything other than the 2 battle passes each month, which is probably 1/10 of my monthly spend now and I won’t until they sort my issue out.

[ripe thicket]

Here is how to fix actian space to use what is currently in place to reduce the grind to a manageable level.

Chrysalis: there should be 1 of each type always up. If one is killed, it is the next spawn. This will allow for players to get the exo's sooner and keep them up and drastically reduce time spent trying to get the right one to spawn.

Apex: make half the spawns be apex. This will reduce time flying across a system for 1 kill and then flying back across for another. It will also reduce the fight for each one with other players and it will cut the farm time down by at least 65%. This alone will drastically improve quality of life for the game.

Research: add 2 new researches to the tree. Improved drop (venom extraction): increase venom drop rate by 30% and then 10% each level after up to 120%. This affects all ship types.
Chrysalis extraction: this research increases venom drop from chrysalis by 100% and 50% for each level for level.

This will allow chrysalis to give almost the same drop rate as apex when maxed out when the miner is maxed out as well. You can make this tier and level restricted.

This will drastically cut the grind down on this and make it manageable and worth completing.

[potent blade]

I just used 150K of raw gas to get 50 uncommon. Never again!!! I need over 400 just to get my R&D upgraded and I've been trying for over a week now. Then there's the researches that also need it, so thanks but no thanks to your useless attempt to provide more materials for us. Let me buy 1000 or 2000 at a time. Ship XP I need at least 250K to get my ships up to par.

[torpid coyote]

Oh my sweet summer child...

[next haven]

1 level 58-60 can be a nuisance to players level 43 and lower. Stop catering to high level players. Ship and level pvp balance. This is an issue causing people to quit FIX IT! After 40 10 up 6 down. It is fair and competitive. Its been 3 years 21 levels. No reason for you to keep ignoring.

[charred zenith]

@tacit obsidian why don't we have the other 2 strike team in the incursion event store?

[glad cradle]

He won’t reply until tomorrow; if at all. It’s the weekend.

[sick egret]

ship xp for survey ships needs to be revised. make survey ships earn ship xp while mining somehow, via exocomp or officer.

[ripe thicket]

You must be pre 40. The bonus refinery is based on past values and not the upgraded values, it is best to not do the max on them anymore.

[ripe thicket]

At 43, you can heavily damaged or destoy a 5* ship using the right crews for home defense and the repair cost for you is nothing. I have had many high level 50's stop trying to base spam because it costs them too much now. And what is even better, with Pon, I can kill a 5* ship and not even lost one. It is about crew/ship stacking now.

[umbral matrix]

Anyone know what my problem could be? Silver screen Part 1 (4/5) "Complete 2 Archives from the Holodeck." I am lvl 15. I built the holodeck. Barclay is there. I can't do anything in the holodeck though.

[fallen epoch]

Screenshot?

[sour dew]

getting annoyed with the lag on Server 29 that has been ignored by Support for 2 months. Is Scopely purposely causing problems for players? <@&509691205798592532>

[fallen epoch]

You need to be ops 17 to see the archive

[vale wasp]

Are you stuck on the archive missions in your list?

[fallen epoch]

Yeah he is

[umbral matrix]

I am not op 17 yet. I read there were supposed to be free archive missions and i suppose at 17 they will show?

[fallen epoch]

Unless @vale wasp has a suggestion. I think they show at 17 since your mission shows ops 17 as a requirement. I don’t actually know what the requirements are to see them.

[vale wasp]

The req is to do two archive missions, and there are 3 in that list on the left. Seems straightforward as to where to go next.

If you're stuck though, I'd just wait til you're strong enough.

[narrow bridge]

@tacit obsidian can you ask devs to look at actian spawn types. I appreciate the change to have multiple apexs but often have no spawning of certain buff Chrysalis hostiles. This morning I was on my own in L40 Actian system and there were no hostiles with the extra shots buff. I killed 31 Chysalis ships and not a single extra shot buff ship spawned in that time.

[loud stag]

Scopely fix the lagg! we had a small TC takeover on 183 just now and the battles lasted at least 30 sec

[exotic tangle]

This has pretty much been the most boring week I’ve ever played this game, if your going to move the incursion there should have been something in its place

[unique widget]

@royal solar can you please pass along feedback that post merge servers are not having fun fighting for territory. Zones aren't loading, attacks wait minutes to fire and then take minutes. In an event where every second matters these delays are making it near impossible to actually have fun doing it. I don't mind having to fight for territory again but I really hate not actually being able to fight and it just being a lag fest.

[loud stag]

I love a nice week off actually, nice to have some time to spend on my life

[cyan portal]

Agreed the lag has been insane at every takeover

[nova sierra]

Well my ops 15 has completed the archive missions

[misty brook]

Good evening. I'd like to know whom I can contact to request escalation of a ticket regarding a problematic player who has made remarks ranging from misogyny and racism to praying for harm and worse to my children. The player in question has taken to now using their in game name to further their harassment. There are many further egregious conduct matters but I'm citing those that I have direct proof of. Thank you.

[vale wasp]

You should contact one of our CMs when you see them on Discord (Eco or Bek). If you don't catch them while they're active, then send a DM.

[misty brook]

Thank you.

[edgy harness]

It’d be nice to see something done, but having played on a server with people who regularly made death threats, exposed real life info about other players, wore racist names, and tried to convince people to self harm via in game chat, and last check all those people are still playing: don’t get your hopes up.

[fallen epoch]

Interesting

[vale wasp]

Calling them out like that isn't allowed here. If they're breaking the ToS, then contact CS about it. Otherwise it is allowed behavior.

[solemn crow]

I would if CS ever responded.

[livid stone]

Sadly in my experience, neither one has ever replied to a dm… best bet for me has been tagging them in a post while they are online. Unfortunately one time that worked only to the point where they replied asking me to dm them, which looped back to the beginning of my post… no response. Oh well, I presume others have better luck there 🙂

[edgy harness]

Anticipation for a flawless arc launch

[supple bane]

Just realized I was on the wrong channel 🤣

[next haven]

At worst anymore they just get a chat ban. Scopely used to remove them.

[next haven]

Scopely, instead of giving useless chat bans to people who encourage suicide or any form of death to players, why don't you go back to actually banning them. Regardless of how much they spend. The chat ban is a joke, they just move to discord.

[livid stone]

Even easier - they create tons of alts that do the communications for their main account, get those banned, and rinse and repeat. The chat ban does zero to alleviate the issue. Since they are unwilling to ban the actual main account - might as well not even do the chat ban.

[opal shard]

You said it Ka. 3.5yrs myself so I an remember the time before arcs, when like fools we begged for more content. Lol

Yeah, they added the warp cancel (you people got no room to cry if you didn’t live during the “crap, I sent the wrong crew on a 14m flight” before warp cancel/recall) improved some graphics, added the lat spend verification... but like you said, more bugs every dam month or oldies but goodies (combat lock is one of my favorites...😒) .... I played freemium war games for a decade before I let myself get addicted here. Their features actually worked! 15 yrs ago they knew how to do what $copely only dreams of and we fear the attempts of.

I think I only still play for 2 reasons: I’d feel guilty leaving my friends I’ve played with for over 2 of those years and 2) I’d miss the day it finally implodes on itself. 🤣

[opal shard]

Or......and I’m just spit balling here...... shield? Haven’t seen a single ship yet could defeat a shielded base.

[charred zenith]

@fallen epoch why is that we don't have the interceptor and explorer officers in the incursion event store? (Sorry for the ping)

[solid jay]

That's not the kind of fun I am looking for

[ripe thicket]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar
Can we get a refresh of the exo's please. My suggestion would be to break out officer stats into a stat section. Have you attack, defense, health, + to all. Have a generic and a heroic for thos.

Have a separate warp exo that just gives +warp speed. Have a normal and a heroic exo and let those be cheap. 20 axionic chips and let the cool down be 10 hours. This will drastically help with time management quality if life. If you are really really nice, you could make this last 8-12 hours!

For utility, break it down between research and building. For the research option, have a heroic and normal option for speed. Add an efficiency for costs. Lower costs of research by 5%-25% for tri/di/para. You can also have a heroic that lowers common+ by 1-3% as a heroic option.

For the building, have the same as research. Heroic and normal for speed. An efficiency for tri/dil/para costs and a heroic for common+ mats.

I would even break combat down to different ship types or add some additional ones. You could have +shields, +armor, +dodge, +combat stats, +piercing, + accuracy/shield piercing/armor piercing, etc.

This would drastically change how players buy and use exo's.

I even suggest looking at exo's for specialty ships. + Cerritos buff time. +mantis loot, +mantis debuff time, +cloak times, reduce cloak costs, reduce mantis venom costs, +borg resources drops, + vidar cargo, + stella cargo etc. There is an entire group of exo's you could explore and come up with.

Small boosts can have massive time impacts for game play without forcing you to address many issues with time management. All by using exo's. All you have to do is drop the costs to purchase them. Instead of 125, it could be 20 per. Or 15 per if you have a bunch of these added.

[opal shard]

It’s the kind he was tho! 🤣

[leaden elk]

Why are you creating a cut-throat pvp environment. Star Trek was never war focused. But its all too easy to see your pvp players are willing to spend alot of💰 to blow their egos. When a regular explore and mission player is just constantly being hampered from playing a different style by these whales. Why can a op 44 kill a op 32? What purpose does this achieve other than bad feelings?

[sacred garden]

Candle that is a very bad negative reply saying that kind of behavior is allowed. I’ve played over a thousand games like this on phone alone and y’all’s response to these kind of negative behaviors is saying they are allowed ? No other game on any platform allows this kind of bad behavior it’s why the chats both public and private are monitored and why they have reporting features derectly tied to chats . To say they are allowed is wrong and aiding and a bedding a harassment crime and any harm comes from your company can be held derectly accountable as much as the one doing the behavior.

[vale wasp]

Relax, I'm not Scopely. Scopely set the rules out in the ToS. Those are the things you agreed to when you made the account. You and all the other players didn't agree to more than that, and that's all that they require of the players of their game.

They made an MMO sandbox game for us to play in, and there will be some unsavory interactions with other players. That's just the nature of people all stuck in the same galaxy. Those that cross the line will have to face CS, but the others aren't breaking any rules.

[graceful acorn]

expect a pack to appear in the store to mark the orion corvette training completed

[dim hemlock]

Ty for the update👍🏼much appreciated

[dim hemlock]

That was sarcasm 😂🤣😂

[olive solstice]

How am I supposed to complete this as a level 39?

[teal moss]

As an active base defender with good relations with the whales I fight, rest assured it is not a sustainable strategy for them.
Yes, their Nova can crack and scoop. But it costs them literally billions for a few mil.
...when guns aren't bugged anyway 😭

[potent silo]

We need to wait for a fix, nothing to do for it right now

[olive solstice]

Pretty sure it's been at least a month this has been out. Pretty sad they can't come up with a hotfix when they can auto complete broken events for us. 🙂
Thank you for the reply though.

[chrome vortex]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar will we have Treasury this month? It's usually around the 13th of the month. Is the arc begining Tuesday?

[fallen epoch]

Treasury is usually on the second week of the arc sometimes the last week.

Arc hasn’t started yet so it’s early still

[chrome vortex]

It's almost always around the 13th .

[fallen epoch]

That’s only when the arc launches on the first week of the month.

A better way to follow it is it launches towards the end of the second or middle of third week of the arc

[elder hornet]

So there is a arc start tomorrow?

[fallen epoch]

It’s a Tuesday. It’s near the start of the month. It’s likely.

[halcyon kayak]

I came here to ask the same thing

[chrome vortex]

My point was there's been no announcements. We usually know by now when the arc is coming and I think at least one month Treasury was close to being an afterthought, so I'm asking now to put it on the radar.

[fallen epoch]

They usually announce it after they announce the arc fall. Which hasn’t happened yet

[signal olive]

For the person who decided to go the extra mile and start representing the ship bp's with actual stars... i submit to you that mayflowers are now 4* ships...

I goofed i meant to add pic to last comment lol. Not really a complaint, just an error i thought id bring up.

[true zealot]

Mayflower scrapped, does give 4 star

[next haven]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar hopefully in this update will be scopely balancing ships and reworking ridiculously unbalanced pvp. THAT would be the 3rd most useful thing scopely could do with this game.

[left cloak]

The support service is a complete and utter waste of time if you actually need any support or have an issue that can not be fixed by way of an apology, a restart, or some seatwarming script reader hoping you are safe and well.

[cyan portal]

I gotta reiterate how absolutely awful game play has been after merge. Territory captures have been disasters with lag.

This is our capture right now. The system is full and fighting. Except for my screen which after multiple reboots continue to show empty systems. With my ships (which are 100% guaranteed dead irl) all safe on nodes. Stuff like this is happening every single takeover. Battles taking minutes. Targeting impossible.

[viral snow]

Try ships going off in different directions, mostly you target someone and you ship just doesn't move.

[craggy plaza]

I really love how territory takeovers on the merged server are HORRIBLE and laggy, but Scopely just rolls out a new feature. How about you fix it so large battles, first, so they're doable?

[viral snow]

Mining, have to reboot because system had my ship on the node

I really don't think they truly understand the issues we are facing. They are greedy. I remember the 4.99 shield at lower levels no longer the, the deals for more building and research are pricy, don't forget repair slots

[acoustic cloud]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar can we please get a new diplomacy setting?

We have two purple, and one red. We need another thing on the red side.

[soft reef]

And they used Morale/Shield regen while you had 2 warp range officers. Tbh you’re lucky it was that close.

[wind vortex]

Some of these storylines are just terrible.
Mudd shows up again, asks to hide in our station, we just let him.
Random hostile shows up, mudd asks us to kill them, we just go ahead and do that no questions asked.

[nova sierra]

Totally agree.

[wind vortex]

Pretty sure people have been asking for a "Negative but not KOS" setting ever since diplomacy was added. I guess they're still trying to figure out how to make it a store item. 🤷

[next junco]

How Am I supposed to get my two final pulls in with this damn maintenance.... wtf.

[woven atlas]

I would really love it if the Uranium timers and the Latinum Antique timers were 24 hours like the rest, instead of 3 days. It is really slowing down my progression, and I am sure that others feel the same way. There is way too much focus on grinding.

[warm zinc]

Can we get the premium refinery pulls redone so we actually pull more then the standard refinery pull or I means what’s the point ?

[west thunder]

Starting maintenance (which only gave us 7 hours notice to begin with - WAY too little!) early? Or just another Scopely screwup that everything is down right now? 🤔

[rare coral]

Why is the bonus refinery so much worse then the real one? They are all equal btw. The boost frmo Bajoran favours should be seen here as well as another higher possible pull.

[slow vine]

@tacit obsidian once again- notification at midnight re maintenance. Not enough notice!!! It’s not like you just decided to do it last night!!!!!!!!

Why do we get a new currency every freaking arc?!

[vagrant radish]

In EEUU, we get only 5 below. Imagine that! I wonder why it isn't the same all around; internationally as well.

[urban delta]

Add officers portraits as avatars. This should be minimal amount of work and would add greatly to the lack of Klingon and Romulan avatars.

[kind minnow]

more borg officers.. more independent credits too ? pls ?

[proper raft]

Built the Borg seek perfection. They wouldn’t assimilate the Kazon as they would add nothing.. surely the pakled offer nothing either…

[frigid perch]

More solo armadas and a new currency? Urgh, I thought Scopely were supposed to be looking to shorten the grind this year not continue to make it worse?

[compact terrace]

probably like shortening the grind by .0001% but then adding 5 new specialized ships that you have to grind to tier 6 before they are useful... 🙂 and that new building "Command Center"

[bitter hearth]

but they promise reduce old ones /i htink via exocomps/ so vidar and stella can be sciped or shortened with one kill or something

[compact terrace]

hope not... my idea of shortening the grind is incredibly different than that... 😦

Fleet Commanders - looks interesting, might be even useful. We'll see how it works in practice - and how much of it is initially locked behind a paywall... Also expecting maybe 3 or 4 new currencies to go with that and a brand new grind loop with Borg solo armadas 🤦‍♀️ Because that is precisely what we need to happen in the mission to "reduce grind time in game" 😆
2 new rare officers! More impulse! Quicker faction rep gain! Better Actian loot drop! I wanna! 😍
New projectile, new prime meh
Plus some minor bug fixes... nothing about lag! Nothing about base scanning issues with newest dock! Ok, some armada improvements fair play. And hold your breath CHANGING THE LOADING BAR COLOUR which is such a groundbreaking thing it just had to make its way into release notes 🤣

[solar jewel]

really? more armadas? can't Scopely come up with anything new??? 😵‍💫

[glad cradle]

Nope

[solar jewel]

slowly it's getting really too much and boring 🙄 before more comes Scopely should fix all the bugs!

[frank forum]

fixing bugs doesn't make as much money as selling new content 🤣

[nova sierra]

Graphics room deserves credit, load screen looks awesome!

[glad cradle]

Some would rather have the bugs and lag fixed first

[outer ice]

Good idea, force the artists to fix the lag, for sure they can not do worse than the network coders 😉

[spare imp]

Middle of the night maintenance notification only on discord? Good effort scopely 👍🏼 screwing up how often I can grab my bonus refinery. Typical let down as per usual.

[frank forum]

it could be even worse, middle of the day in Europe!

[proper raft]

Shame the rest of the game doesn’t look like that

[unborn quiver]

They were supposed to fix the g4 bonus refinery two iterations ago. I guess it is really difficult to change a table of numbers.
I constantly received fewer uncommon/rare/epic g4 materials from the bonus refinery than the normal one. It is incredible.

[rare coral]

Same here.. it's nice to have more then none.. but my current refinery is way, way better then the bonus one

[frank forum]

it's a give and take... I actually don't mind the slightly lower numbers of guaranteed uc or above mats versus a gamble where you can get more but usually just get a bunch of commons 😂

[mortal shell]

More grinding yay just what ever wanted stop adding and fix what you have first

[timber lion]

Scopely: Our next years roadmap will reduce churn.
Also scopely: Our first release will add more churn and 17 new currencies to add to your daily list of things to do, also for them to be truly useful, you must pay us weekly instalments of £89.99

[modern jolt]

Its content to spend less time on grinding borg. I like it

[fair drum]

I agree, the bonus refinery allows me to refine rare 5*, while I need to up my ops before the regular refinery gives a chance at rares.

[spare imp]

Yeah I’m in Europe haha, only got the notification when I woke up on my day off at 10am that I couldn’t do my bonus refinery as scopely decided to let us know at 2 minutes to midnight that it was going to be down from 9am. Ridiculous communication 🙄

[desert flax]

At least we have new avatars and frames ❤️ who cares abt the rest 🤣🤣🤣

[frank forum]

and the loading progress bar is now GREEN, how cool is that??? GROUNDBREAKING STUFF

[tepid bramble]

You joke, but I honestly feel this is happening lol

[hoary blade]

Ya that would be nice

[buoyant jewel]

Could release notes mentioned new bugs introduced too ? That will be super helpful. While I understand it will be the longest list but It will help players on workarounds just after release instead of spamming support with discovered bugs and reduce amount of rage on channels on discord and in game

[proper raft]

Is it loading or isn’t it 😀

[west thunder]

Heard that Scopely outsourced programming for this arc this time to a Pakled programming company. So maybe it'll be better than usual...

[glad cradle]

I can’t login on server 10; even though maintenance seems to be completed.

[fickle zephyr]

servers down again

[river fjord]

Server 34…just got an armada notification though…

[naive briar]

Same issue here

[nocturne prawn]

yeah i got in for like 30 seconds then got booted and cannot return so looks like something crashed hard lol

[spring urchin]

And on server 22.

[orchid timber]

Same. Great job.

[pulsar storm]

and server 90...

[coarse scaffold]

Scopely, there is already way too much expected to be done daily. Who could possibly think it was a good idea to force us to start doing Borg again daily?!

[potent shard]

I see absolutely nothing was done about stability. Within 30 seconds of opening the app it crashes. Thank you for a job not done.

[clever orbit]

yay, now we have to grind borg again daily

[stable moss]

Failed logon.. awesome start . Same ole scopely 🤦‍♂️

[slow totem]

game crashes (android) for 139

[mortal shell]

Can't believe they put back online like this well done to the again for doing a great job a messing up you've put done yourself

[orchid timber]

Here's what worked for me:
Go to the webstore on the same device, force a logout, close browser, go back to webstore and log in again, then reopen app

[tardy coyote]

Patience is the word ……😉

[clever orbit]

everyone is going to be running borg again, yet no more borg systems to avoid congestion. borg armada high costs will mean people will have to choose between doing new borg content or pulling faction/independant credits, so it's a direct nerf to faction/independant credit sourcing

[stiff perch]

Nice move. Having to refine daily now double pack (need 500k probes) to keep up somehow with directives and credits (Indi/faction)…. Good Prime and less grind 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 (////not).

[blazing kayak]

and so ...after maintenance we are still unable to get this completed? @tacit obsidian @royal solar

[west sedge]

I know that we don't like new currencies, but this is the time we needed one. Indy credits is one of the biggest bottlenecks in the game and charged nanoprobes is our best source of indy credits (via borg refinery). To fix, we need either:
i) more charged nanoprobes
ii) indy credits added to the borg solo armada chests (this is the easy/obvious one)

[dry nest]

We definitely need an inventory tab now just for armada directives

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> can we get a inventory tab just for armada directives now? With all the different types and such it's gets hard to keep track

[clever orbit]

i like the new borg mechanic, but losing a major faction/independent credit sourcing method to do it, makes it a huge lose for me

[stiff perch]

Right now, I need 16k charged nano probes per day (Indi + fed credits), o only refine single pack (15k). Now, if I want directives every day, I need in total round about 44k charged nano probes. Even with nano probe prime (the new one), I only get 30k with the single pack. Leave a deficit of 14k. Means, I HAVE to refine the double pack, which costs me 500 probes… I would have to literally grind every single day Borgs. This is not reducing the grind, but increasing it.

[woeful rapids]

arc isn't even released yet and scopely are already grabbing for your wallet 😂 prime research to increase borg refinery output... fyi if people haven't seen the cost of new borg directives

[upper cloud]

Still can sign in. Game stops at 76%.

[nova sierra]

Why can't you "buy" uncommon refined materials with Latium, like you can for common refined material? The refining rate for uncommon materials is atrocious and everything is a "chance". Don't know if it will take me days, weeks or even longer to finally get what I need to upgrade..

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> This right here is why this patch is utter trash. Scopely didn't need to screw up an already tedious process to obtain the hard credits to earn yet that is exactly what they did.

At first when I was looking at the patch notes I was excited about what I saw. But this right here makes me hate it. The only thing worst was Starbase assaults.

[west sedge]

Simple fix to this new content - add indy credits rewards into the borg solo armada chests

[woeful rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/stimulus-check-digibyte-dgb-money-cash-gif-18286568 Scopely board meetings in a nutshell

[rare coral]

way to expensive and an obvious push towards the prime. its an armada.. or faction/independent credits.
Horrible start so far 😡

[frail goblet]

Soo how am I supposed to check alliance helps on my ship repairs now?

[clever orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-down-you-adam-sandler-gif-14612875

[tulip ether]

Well I see we can no longer tell how many helps we have received of Ship Repairs AGAIN!

[upper parrot]

Why is there a research for ISS Jellyfish, but not for Defiant? It being the ship designed for solo armadas.. it does not seem right.

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> FFS what is this? WE ALREADY DONT GET ENOUGH CHARGED NANOPROBES AND NOW SCOPELY ADDS THIS!

This may actually be the worst thing supplanting SB Assaults

[fallen epoch]

Reduce caps please

[stiff perch]

Sorry for the bad joke, but can scopely reduce grind instead of making a tiresome grind even worse? @royal solar @tacit obsidian

[real swan]

Really bad idea of making another thing that requires more grind.

[steep smelt]

New officers are really good QUality of Life improvements, more of this please 😄

[molten jungle]

Players: We'd love for you guys to reduce the grind of old stuff
Scopely: We hear you, and we're planning on something. Here more grind with the Borg stuff and you can forgo your faction credits. 🤣

[cinder portal]

Source Road map:

To that end, a big priority for us in 2023 is to help reduce this grind, especially for older content. This will also allow us to provide new fun and engaging content throughout the year!

Expect to see some initial ways to address this in the first half of 2023 and beyond.
Reality:

you add new armadas (based on old content), new need to grind the nanos (based on old content) and a new officer feature that forces everyone to do all of this...

I mean i get it you guys have problems with the server infrastructure but making more people to leave the game is not the real way...

[dreamy fable]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar you guys keep saying that you hear us begging for less screen time, but then you dump in yet another new grind. Wish you all would stop lying to us and tell the truth: you don’t give a [bleep] about what we ask for.

[molten jungle]

@tacit obsidian I hope you run the Borg mid battlepass event more frequently. We need that infinitus skin to make this whole grind better.

[rapid arch]

You missed the mark. What made Solo armadas amazing was you can get 1 a day and still have the credits to do other things for a low cost. Takes me about 15-20 min to grind hostiles every other day. Now you want us to grind multiple hours a day and still not have the probes to buy other things like faction and independent credits?????

[finite geyser]

@tacit obsidian Where is the updated vidar with Borge?

[analog yoke]

knee jerk reaction to upcoming stuff in game. Can scopely add a daily that gives nano for killing probes? Primes at the moment are actually required to increase and sustain solo armadas and new researches. currently i have skin and 6 and am still pulling out 9-11k a pop in my vidar which means to full pull i have to kill 100 probes per day in additional to murdering dominion, swarm and all the other bs

[graceful plume]

they wont, they have to milk everyone for new prime

[woeful nymph]

Double the daily grind to maintain previous Borg loop plus engage in the new content, basically making the Prime Vidar Cargo and Prime nanoprobe Refining mandatory for efficiency AND with Exos that have a short timer with NO new zones to help with congestion....thanks Scopely

[clear spruce]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar
And where exactly is now the promised time saving for the whole Game? 🤷
Proposal: Put a "0" behind the Hostile Loot and all Players can reduce their Farming time tremendously^^😉 (but it seems thats to easy to do🤔)

[ionic hornet]

In $copeley's defence we dont have a NEW grind just more of an old grind.

[main dagger]

Copy paste code. Call it new features we will love?💩🤣

[acoustic cloud]

Hey @tacit obsidian and @royal solar

This patch is the worst. I don't even want to play.

[rare coral]

the triple refine gives enough to refine 2/3 factions + independant credits daily and then have a borg solo every other day
Just.. grind your balls off
Sad

[clever orbit]

no new borg grind systems either, so they're gonna be jam packed with everyone doing them daily again, take longer to do runs

[ionic hornet]

ummm I'm scoring in the events that shouldn't be live. Is that bad?

[frozen pulsar]

That will cost you 89.99

[weak grove]

this is ridiculous. what part in "reduce daily effort" did you guys not get?

[magic anvil]

I see has not yet been implemented 🤔

[fallen epoch]

It’s been 4 days I wouldn’t expect it so soon

[frail latch]

I'm on my 5th ticket just to get an event closed "this could be solved in another category" then closed. Good luck with a useful feature 😂

[split quarry]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar maybe a good way to ease the independent credit problem is to include them in the Borg solo exchange chest rewards

[rare tendon]

Scopely what are you smoking? Another armadas?

[stiff perch]

But then „guaranteed“ and at least the same amount I would get based on daily refine

[split quarry]

Yeah they need to be guaranteed. Too many officers need them now

[tropic crown]

@tacit obsidian maybe remind the devs everyone is not level 35+!

[ionic hornet]

Of course this means more regular borg AT missions right? Right?

[olive nacelle]

Right….this isn’t right…..I dunno what not right about it but it’s defo not right…….just looks out of place! 😂

[nova sierra]

if the new exos works like the amalgam's one, you need to have the vi'dar docked when you activate them, you then need to travel to the borg systems while those measly 20 minutes are already ticking 🤦

[proper raft]

Why not make Borg a faction and move them to the faction store… as it’s the same mechanic as bajoran

[restive totem]

I’m very dissatisfied with the lack of new currencies and armadas this go around. Please add WAY more! A whole lot more until no one can humanly do everything every day. I can still keep track of it all and get my stuff done if I ignore my family and friends.

[kind vale]

Thanks for adding more pips. My OCD hasn't flared up in 2 hours.

[near flame]

Why haven’t you fixed the issue with being able to attack bases with 8 docks? That was an expected bug fix in this patch. Also the resources raided leader board scoring is broken and does not work. Yet you guys are spending time on bug fixes that no one cares about.

[frank veldt]

Brog grinding was the worst part of the game, and instead of making it better, they made it a lot worse.

[half ravine]

Do you only get 1 quantum key per Fleet Commander? I used my Kirk quantum key on warp speed thinking I would get more, but it says you get them from “Unlocking Kirk”. Does that mean I won’t be able to unlock the impulse speed skill now?

[round bear]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar fix the borgmada directive costs or I won’t be able to participate in them. Way to expensive

[muted sparrow]

@tacit obsidian is it absurd that the refine jumps from 10k to 28.8k. That is a major part of the issue. You max a ship and idiots at Scopely punish you rather than rewarding. This happens all the time.

[misty brook]

Not going to lie. I'm just getting up to the tier where the Borg stuff is relevant to me. I've read the comments of others, heard from Alliance-mates and the claims that "Scopely will reduce the grind". All I can think of is this meme GIF and it makes me wonder if I want to invest more time and money in this game.

https://tenor.com/view/same-same-but-different-the-interview-james-franco-gif-14031071

[pseudo kite]

I think the only way Scopely will listen, is if it's in their financial interest, if we collectively all agree to not spend until they sort these things out as a priority

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> so an easy "fix" for the borg solo armada directives is to change the cost from Charged Nanoprobes to Active nanoprobes. That would mean that you don't interrupt the process of gaining independent and factions credits but it's still tied to the borg refinery

[wicked thistle]

https://youtu.be/uq-gYOrU8bA

[bleak imp]

It would have been nice if Scopely spent at least the next month or two to cleanup the numerous amount of issues going on with this game instead of adding more new content that adds to the problem. The constant crashes and restarts and a slew of other issues is just ridiculous already. Now, new stuff that does not work yet again.

[misty brook]

NGL, I was wondering how I managed to empower a ship considerably with Ship XP.. have it show in dock at 15% higher power than out of dock. Had to reload. That's simple variable calculation and display. That stuff isn't hard to get right.

[zinc swan]

Can we please change the art a little more on the new field commander currencies. It is such a pain distinguishing between the 5 new currencies for these...

[dreamy quest]

Wrong server

[worn pasture]

Thank you for the fun new features!

[humble blade]

@tacit obsidian I’m in the middle@of the mission collected the free chests and I still@can’t build the command center also completed a couple of events. Do you know what the issue might be

[acoustic flax]

Sorry wrong server

[fallen epoch]

Update your game

Wrong server

[humble blade]

I can’t until tomorrow iPhone delays the update for like 24 hrs

[fallen epoch]

Nope. Search STFC and update. It’s there. It went out at about 6 hours ago

[umbral matrix]

Why doesn't the mission menu shows level estimates for every task?

[hoary linden]

Another cash grab from scopely... either we lose out on faction/indy credits from borg refinery to get solo borg directives or pay $100+ for the new prime.

[wicked thistle]

https://youtu.be/uq-gYOrU8bA

[timid ivy]

Funny how slow mode comes up at start of every ark once people realise how many bugs there are.
Any eta on how long before scopley sorts this fleet commander officer bug? Should I give up playing for the evening as can't complete the events?

[humble blade]

FYI I had to update my phone first for some reason it did not update automatically lol

[swift steppe]

So once again you've fouled up the help received for repair!!!

[dreamy drum]

Is this a bug with the mission rewards? Im short a shard for an unlock. @tacit obsidian

[lethal knoll]

Why wasn't field training fixed in this maintenance??

[fallen epoch]

It’s being investigated

[feral abyss]

The choose an FC should have been on the event store tab, where someone can think about it and then choose. Instead of sprung in the middle of a mission by surprise with no way to back out and defer the choice till later (e.g. An x)

[sullen matrix]

Nice, Kirk in 320p

[molten jungle]

@tacit obsidian We need more chances to earn the Infinitus skin to make this grind bearable.

[sullen matrix]

seriously? Isnt there a "0" too much in it?

[warm oar]

Borg Cube.. nope thats clearly a Deathstar.. or not?! 404 missing textures i guess?

[steep smelt]

its the attention to detail i love 😀

[random lintel]

Solo Borg mada cost wayyyy too many charged nanoprobes.

This is really disappointing because if I want to pull these, I won't have enough for Indi credits. Which is basically the only way to source them.

[nova sierra]

Wow! New Arc bugged to rubbish yet again and STILL NOT FIXED THE OLD BUGS Baahaahaaaaaaaaa! Absolutely useless as per the norm for Scopely

[rose notch]

I completed the Legends of the Cosmos mission but only received 148 Kirk shards. This is two fewer than needed for unlock. Is this a mistake/bug?

[potent silo]

Contact CS

[lilac timber]

I got 149 Kirk shards

[eternal ginkgo]

😂

[frank forum]

You know, all this new borg content, more grind, more solomadas, all of it - I don't feel it brings much value to my experience. On the contrary, I'm gonna choose not to engage it because I can't afford more probes grinding and also can't afford to spend my probes on directives rather than rom credits (making push for Pilum)
But in all honesty, sometimes can you just go simple? Simplicity is good. All most of us needed was simple - more borg systems with regular probes but bigger than 33 so its easier to farm them...
A nice simple wish 😅

[magic fox]

This is the 4 month in a row scopley have taken "we need less time grinding" to mean we need 3 new directives, 4 new currency and a research tree

[molten jungle]

Reduce the grind eventually by increasing the grind for this month. I know they thought they were smart implementing these boosts, but it's gotten to the point the game seems like a full time job. I've been skimping on one thing or another every day, this just increases stuff I skip daily.

[mighty oracle]

The grind alone for nanoprobes etc. Is to Much , even leveling up the officer with active nanoprobes is a joke

[hoary lynx]

Forcing a fleet commander selection upon recalling your ships to base was not ok. I tried to close the game and because the swipe to close is over the dialog box it interpreted that as a choice. So now I’m stuck with Admiral Kirk and didn’t have a chance to make an informed decision.

[velvet sonnet]

actually, Kirk is a better choice for low spenders and f2p @hoary lynx

[boreal monolith]

Just give us our impulse speed back Scopely

[hoary lynx]

I prefer to make the decision myself. I haven’t had the chance to evaluate it and different opinions players have their own priorities.

This is infuriating enough to make someone rage quit. I’m so mad I don’t want to do ANYTHING with the game now

[lavish lark]

170k charged nanoprobes for one borg solo armada. That is horrible and insulting

[past moon]

<@&509690795536941056> I got an issue my stella has been stuck for more than 24 hrs, I opened a ticket but then they closed it. I "opened" another one since I didn't see anywhere to follow up on a ticket and sent a msg that it wasn't resolved. I even looked to see if someone would blow me up and they couldn't even see my ship. Can someone point me in the right direction to fix this issue?

[oblique hawk]

@tacit obsidian @bek please remove command centre tab from top bar where ship,officer an faction etc is. If we want to click on command can do it from building adding more to tab bar just takes up space. It’s not needed there so please remove it

[fallen epoch]

Wrong tag.

[severe stump]

I can't build the command phallus.

[fallen epoch]

Update your game

[past moon]

That was helpful thank you! Which is the right tag?

[fallen epoch]

Oh and make sure you do the free mission

[scenic pivot]

The sourcing for borg solo directives being -effectively- locked behind having a T9 vidar is disappointing to me, but the little drip that is even given for t1-t8 feels even more disappointing. Really, only 6 directives for 10k charged nanoprobes?

Also, i feel like exo active time should be longer. Unless I move my base right there, at least a quarter, maybe upwards of half of that 20 minutes gets lost to travel.

[severe stump]

@fallen epoch thanks.
Ah, I had to reinstall the dang game.
Update/Repair gave me an error.

[past moon]

Who should I tag regarding my ship that's stuck cause opening a ticket isn't helpful

[nova sierra]

Today I must admit that I have seen a change in the implementation of the new features. First, the maintenance was time regular, the game immediately seemed fluid, The events were added gradually avoiding unnecessary lag. After the reset of the events everything went well, I would say that from this point of view (at least once) we must honor the merit.👏For the rest you are always a disaster🙃

[remote flume]

Exactly. This is how you know the devs a) don't play their own game and b) don't care about their player base

[glad glen]

Why was the tab in the help area removed that showed how many was helping you own stuff. This was the only place ship repair could be tracked and now it is gone so why!!!

[lavish lark]

They only care if people keep on spending 100 usd on horrible packs that aren't worth it. A pack should cost no more then 20 bucks.

[plush ginkgo]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar the borg refinery additions really need to be reworked in a way that makes it easy to participate in the new borg solo armadas without giving up our current credit pulls. Most players desperately need these extra credits (especially independent) in order to progress, so this decision feels extremely out of touch.

It feels really bad to have to choose between something I actually bought a prime for and these new armadas because y’all made the directives insanely expensive. I’m not buying a new prime to remedy the problem you guys just created.

[tropic sphinx]

Yes you will. LOL

[plush ginkgo]

Prime Borg Rewards was literally one of the most valuable primes in the game, I’d best most people have it.

I’m not spending $100 or whatever it is for this new prime so that I can grind even more to participate in a new feature. They didn’t do this for the dominion solo armadas 🤷🏻‍♂️ and they’re way more valuable than these Borg solos

[tropic sphinx]

We're all looking at the new refinery option and thinking "man they broke something that was already not working well." I'm hoping scopely hears the complaints and fixes things faster than they did the mantis grind.

[woeful nymph]

Ops 44. I do Borg full pulls every day so I can pull Indy Credits, Fed Credits, Rom Credits and Kling Credits. This new Loop eliminates that choice and REQUIRES me to choose between that and Borg Solo Armadas. It also requires me to make sure I have 1 mil nanoprobes on hand daily instead of 500k. This is a bad decision. It's clearly designed to sell the Prime Charged Probe pack and Prime Vidar cargo if I want to do both. So which do I sacrifice...because I am not going to be forced to pay to participate because of bad design. I've never been closer to quitting the game then today because of how shortsighted and out of touch this is.

[plush ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/amen-anchorman-will-ferrell-gif-10865461

[oblique hawk]

I don’t buy any primes so don’t have borg rewards. I don’t feel any primes have any value for what’s offered. Not spending $160 CDN on them👎

[woeful nymph]

Also, those that are not doing Borg daily will now have to do a minimum of 2 cells a day as the away team mission take 2 days and give a max of 800k. People now have to have a daily income of 1 mil a day, and with the zones being gated, Piracy to avoid having to do this new loop is going to increase. The Vidar cargo needs to be increased and tokens need to be removed. Piracy is a valid playstyle, but we don't need a refine gate and a system gate

[rustic lynx]

Even if token would be removed, grinding 1mio probes per day is just insane…

I am very happy that reducing the daily grind is one of the topic on the roadmap… 1st arc, added another 30-60min grind per day… wow

[long obsidian]

Where are the bigger Borg probes with more loot? Where are more systems so not everybody is in the 33 systems.

And when do we get solo swarmadas, solo normal armadas .

And when do you stop adding 3 types of currency every 30 days and 3 new task a day to keep on par

[woeful nymph]

If the loot bonus scales as much as Eco claims (5 minutes to fill a t9) , the issue of cargo space still remains. Also, why should we have to slog it out for 3 bloody weeks every single day grinding 1 million probes and not getting faction credits to get to that point, and it's only a chance of the exo dropping? So Terrible

[plush ginkgo]

The most annoying part IMO is in order to access the exos we need to reduce the grind, we have to participate in the borg solo armada loop that currently increases the grind?? It makes no sense

[rustic lynx]

Loot bonus of exos wont be that great, its only added to the bonus of research and or skin… i allready need 30-60min to fill my full cargo… and exo lasts 20min… so maybe 17min active time after flighttime… will never last long enough to fill the cargo…

Research is 50% 5o11 on t3 for me is 60% and next event i can unlock the skin for another 50%… in total i have allready 160% extra loot… so the 125% of the exo will be less than a 50% increase… but the need is increased by 100%… and this doesnt count in for the 20m limit of exo and that they are not unlimited available…

[weary niche]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar Can we please get higher borg prob systems. This grind is killer

[grizzled plume]

Stopped doing any Borg runs so that I had time for mantis, jem hadar etc. starting again is just more work, even if there is an exo.
And more armadas is just an instant fail for me. I quite liked the first set of solo armadas but that’s doesn’t mean I want more.
Please stop creating extra grinds to solve game problems.

[low shard]

What makes you think they are trying to solve problems?

[woeful nymph]

It's clear it's all engineered towards the Charged Probe Refinery pack. People need to do a half grind to participate in Borg Solo Armadas and People need to do a double grind if they still want their faction and indy credits and participate in Borg Solo Armadas...and that's WITH buying that pack. Everyone that doesn't buy that pack still have to make sure they have 1 mil probes a day banked if they want to do Borg solo armada directive pulls daily

The Bajoran loop made sense because the cost for directives were a new currency, were a low cost, were not used for anythinng else and do not take long to accumulate. This is the complete opposite of that.

[rustic lynx]

And even bajoran loop is broken… for 50+ it get worse and worse… because of pmc the best way to farm antimatter is killing 49-51 hostile… at ops45 or ops 53… but the need will increase drastically for ops 50+ without any way to increase the income for the same amount…
With higher level you need more and more time…

[unique widget]

it would be great for ALL chests/packs to show the drop rates like officer packs do. For example, the new Borg Solo Exchange has "Chance" on most things but it doesnt show you which things share slots overall. Is it 1 exo, 1 FC credit, 1 XP, 1 officer? Or are some of those combined? Without the information box to explain what the rates are it is hard to properly judge what is included

[woeful nymph]

They are asking us to give up 600 of each of the 3 faction credits plus 240 indy credit a day, plus grind 2x as much. I need 507,800 Rom faction credits for a Pillum, and they expect me to slow down that progression to participate in a new loop that requires 2x the effort out of the box....Come on...

[tame dove]

The new Command Center, and command officers are kinda cool, some good bonuses if nothing else...my issue with it is just that its too much grinding.

[rustic lynx]

To mich grind and without the prime, you are not able to get the solos every day ontop of the credits you bought every day before the patch even if you grind twice as much per day as before…
So double the grind time and still a tradeoff??? Thats so terrible

[lilac nebula]

@tacit obsidian one of my guys got 149/150 for Spock. ticket number #8766908

[woeful nymph]

I find the grind bad and I already have the skin...I can't imagine how it must be for those that don't have the skin

[tame dove]

This game is collapsing under the weight of all the crap we are expected to grind and do, day in and day out.
The changes being introduced to reduce the grind are a misguided attempt to solve the issue, while not really understanding why players are feeling the way they are.
We are tired of green triangle destroys red triangle....reduce the grind doesnt mean increase the amount that can be garnered in a run, it means reduce the amount of SCREEN time you expect players to engage in.

[fervent topaz]

How do they decide who gets first place when everyone has the same score. I was in first and now am around 8th place and falling even though no one has more points then I do. It is not right that we do not get the same rewards

[fallen epoch]

It’s random.

[glass horizon]

With this arc the demand on Charged Nanoprobes has become beyond a joke, as a f2p i already have to choose what i can use them on in the refinery and now it is just silly. Is there going to be a f2p path on getting the Charged Nanoprobe prime research?

[west sedge]

This can’t be right - with a Borg solo armada SMS coming up tomorrow, we must be able to pick up uncommon Borg solo armada directives for a lower costs. Currently too expensive.

[lament narwhal]

Where did the prime swarm refinery and extra drydock packs go?

[past snow]

Prime Charged Nanoprobe Refinery pack isn't showing in my store after updating... What's going on here?

[woeful nymph]

PC only currently. Try the webstore

[fallen epoch]

A few of the packs are PC only for the first week

[past snow]

Okay thanks for the feedback

[lilac nebula]

@tacit obsidian another ticket number from one of my members for 149/150 Spock ticket number #8767183

[long obsidian]

Only 820 tickets after my ticket which is not solved yet and that is more then 2 hours old

[lilac nebula]

On Rev's twitch stream they asked us to forward the ticket numbers related to this bug for escalation.

[plain smelt]

No one in my alliance has received full shards from the mission.

[fallen epoch]

Tell them all to contact CS

[long obsidian]

99% of all tickets is related to this issue. And we have now hundreds and probably thousands of players with issue. Just give us 5 of each extra. How on earth do you create a bug that you give a random number of shards different from the picture

[lilac nebula]

one of my members was shorted legit 149 shards. they only received 1

[noble ridge]

When can we expect to see higher borg level systems? That's one of the best QoL things you guys could do here.

[plain smelt]

Even the mission tool tip was bugged for me. The choices were get 150 Kirk shards, or 148 Spock shards. I picked 150 Kirk and got 149 😂 I'll just wait and see if they come up with a universal fix. I don't trust a ticket to get answered since my last one was ignored.

[acoustic cloud]

@tacit obsidian from your comment this morning, the exos were supposed to allow multiple trips to fill your cargo for the week, but the 10 min timer makes that impossible. Please fix this.
@royal solar

[plush ginkgo]

Oh man, that’s the other thing. The exo timers are so gd stingey

[valid bough]

I don’t know, but the quests with aged Kirk and Spock were somehow touching.

[devout ermine]

So starting 1 uncommon borg solo armada will cost me 28.800 charged nanoprobes. For 24.000 I can get 1800 faction credits. I’ll stick to the faction credits.

[crude leaf]

Before the arc, I had a 32k demand on my 30k per day charged nanoprobes. Now (assuming I could even do a triple pull, I can’t) I have a 60.8k demand on my hypothetical 45k per day charged nanoprobes. This is unacceptable no matter how much easier you make the grind, I am still paying independent & faction credits for your intended 1 armada a day concept.

[potent shard]

@acoustic cloud wait a sec I never got any exo's

[rustic lynx]

hahaha the epic exos are only 10min? they are allready half expired at the time you enter the system 😄

[tame dove]

The fact they are so stingy with the new mechanics to "reduce the grind" tells you how serious they are about that as an actual goal 😂

[weak grove]

<@&509691205798592532> @tacit obsidian @royal solar
Please tell the devs, that the most insulting thing of their designs is, that player call out for quality of life improvements for a long time. and every time potential improvements are implemented they are behind a paywall.
officer presets was one of the first things in this list. stella and vidar cargo primes followed. now it's prime nanoprobe refinery.
this is just ridiculous. we are asking for improvements to make the game less like a second work and more fun, and you guys think "yeah, we can make cash out of this".
Nobody in sane mind buys this rubbish, instead you're frustrating your players and bring them to give up the game. I have at least 6 guys in my alliance who finally are about to quit and i lost 3 alone the last month. Though they stay on our discord for the company and because we've grown all friends, they won't play the game anymore.
Yes, you keep telling us we are being heard, but we're obviously only being heard, so they know how to squeeze us out a little more.
Pass it on and for god's sake please eventually think about it.

[sharp marsh]

Even for Scopely, this arc is a bug ridden cashgrab. Only one of 3 commanders is available, the second costs cash, the third isn't even available. Everything is a ridiculous grind, and alliance members can't get certain refinery collections even after a full reinstallation.

[plush ginkgo]

It’s like someone on the dev team actually looks at player feedback and creates a solution. But then it goes to another person who thinks of the most watered down way they can implement it.

[weak grove]

no it's not watered down. the person just says "good work, but now put a price tag on it."

[plush ginkgo]

I mean “watered down” in this sense - an exocomp is a great idea to make nanoprobe farming quick and effortless. It’s watered down because then some genius took that idea and said not only should it only last 10-20 minutes, but let’s put it behind a solo armada loop that really wants you to spend $100 to get any kind of enjoyment out of it.

Every other exocomp I own lasts for at least an hour. But these ones have to suck for some arbitrary reason 🤷🏻‍♂️

[stiff drum]

Defiant needs to be classified as a Federation ship. It was literally designed in response to the borg threat and because it is neutral in game doesn’t take advantage of the new borg combat research

[molten jungle]

@tacit obsidian Took 2 trips to get the million needed for the max turn in. The Vidar needs more cargo space and the Infinitus skin needs to become more readily available by the playerbase.

[cursive snow]

Can I interest you in vidar cargo prime?

[molten jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/no-way-dude-no-oh-bugs-bunny-bugs-gif-22941840

[rancid owl]

We keep hearing how this content is only PART of what's to come, assuming we get efficient means to participate in the new content later on. So that essentially leaves us at the NET 0 done to improve quality of life, but that's only AFTER that new stuff comes out. In the mean time, we're juggling to do the new stuff with the old(newish).

Also, quality of life is only every paid content(which is fine I guess?) but THEN you have those players BORED because they just paid their way out of the silly new loop us unwashed poors have to deal with. Thanks.

[sacred garden]

Like the new stuff so far but performance and lag is just as bad if not worse constant signal lost is a major issue of this game. Still ain’t seen resolution for the Orion research field tracing bit yet either despite reporting that issue when it first came out. I for one have no faith in scopley’s ability to fix this game or to give adequate compensation for their screwups.

[lavish lark]

They are going yo make there money off of it. Mine gives me 6 directives for 17k

[upbeat vessel]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar
New Exocomps for Vi'Dar are barely worth applying.
Unc one makes no noticable difference once crew and skin are sorted.
Rare one makes a slight difference.
Feedback for improvement: Make Unc Exo 250% 20min, Rare 500% 15min and Epic 1000% for 10min.
Make them actually worth equipping before we send out our ship.

[lavish lark]

@upbeat vessel how do you even get them? Spend cash?

[jagged tide]

Servers died

[tulip lava]

Am I being silly or is there no treasury event this month?

[next haven]

Extremely disappointed that scopely didn't update ship power and pvp range with this update. It is out of balance and ridiculous.

[stiff latch]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar One way I think we could ease the grinding pain is to shorten the combat animation from 5 seconds to 2 seconds or if the disparity is that great between ships, just an animation of a photon torpedo blowing it up.

[elfin root]

Who the heck is Boldy? 🤣

[hoary blade]

And yet the defiant was a Borg fighting ship to start with .... U bet there going to be a skin at some point making it work with the fed buffs

[vale briar]

Put my help requests back in alliance view!

[upbeat vessel]

By doing borg armadas, then refining the loot in the borg refinery

[burnt viper]

K i think it may have already been asked but how do you really score if you I just unlocked spock but only got 33.2K and you need 150k but there are only 3 commanders? This is the FC Champions IMS. I don't remember seeing an IMS before

[rancid owl]

IMS is server based

[shut cypress]

Ähm excuse me, my ship strength has been reduced since the update??!! K'Tinga out of the box from 6.45mio to 6.29mio? What happend there?!👀 Jelly dropped down also?!🧐

[burnt viper]

Is it adjusted to what your ship is out of the station vs in the station?

[shut cypress]

Talking of "out of the box", can't build the k'tinga atm with ops 39, but it ll be the next ship and i checked stats yesterday after finished a hullresearch, it was on 6.45mio power with 5.96mio hull... now its on 6.29mio power with 5.8mio hull... where are my 160k hull?🧐 so what the hell happend there secretly?! Jelly dropped down also 200k power out of the box🧐

[subtle briar]

Any word on the fix for fleet commander shards not rewarded?

[burnt viper]

@subtle briarYou need to put in a support ticket

[subtle briar]

Ticket has been in for over 8 hours

[dim isle]

Hey @tacit obsidian and @royal solar, I realize you get a lot of tags; please take two minutes to read these reasoned thoughts that are not just angry griping. I love this game and play it for fun and that’s just getting harder; allow me to tell you why with this new loop.

I realize that there is a whole team of staff who conceptualized this content, mathed it out, designed it, and built it over the course of multiple months. But it misses the mark of what players like me were looking for.

I don’t speak for everyone or all Ops levels, but at Ops 45 I wanted to feel like I was DONE with Borg and could enjoy the rewards for minimal sustained effort.

Over the last three years since Borg was released, I have:

• Built and maxed two vidars
• Hammered out effective crews for both
• Engaged in the Borg events long enough to have unlocked the skin
• completed every Borg-related research in the game, including PAYING for two primes and eventually grinding out the third.

And yet, the refinery as it was, a full cargo run on two vidars still took nearly an hour and provided me enough inert probes to PICK AND CHOOSE my refines. If I were to do all of them everyday (max reward), it would require giving 1/24th if my life exclusively to the Borg. That’s NOT my idea of playing your game for fun, and that was before this update.

(More to come after the 5-minute cooldown)

[median vector]

I have a dream, that one day, in the distant future, mission hostile images will actually match their descriptions, and make sense. When they do, and the people do as well, the prophecy will be fulfilled...and there will never be another stuck hostile anywhere in the game.

Unfortunately, that's because this will signal the end of STFC days.

[dim isle]

(Continued)If you had released JUST the exos and walled them behind completion of other existing loop elements, that would have been absolutely fabulous. Make my runs 5 minutes, and I have no trouble spending an hour a WEEK to get the same rewards as before. Adding new benefits like the active prime would have been a bonus, but it didn’t require new rewards when I couldn’t get all of the old. I have run this hamster wheel for three years, I’m tired and I want to be done.

Instead, you gave me a new wheel. Now, the refines can be BIGGER, but I now need an HOUR PER DAY to get enough probes for the same pick-and-choose refines AND source the new directives for the solo armadas which take even more time to get the loot to spend on the redeems with an RNG of the exos to use to make… my Probes grind… shorter. You have NOT done what I hoped or made AMYTHING easier, you have traded one grind for another, and created a couple shiny things for me to buy (the prime, the projectile, the officers).

And if I choose not to do it? The old refines are still there. Nothing changes. But if you release a whole feature and nothing changes for the player, I can think of no clearer definition of poor game design.

I’m sure that, self-contained, it’s a decent loop. But it’s a loop we wanted closed, not revamped. Your main focus this arc should have been the Fleet Commanders, and released the exos and similar as a QOL improvement. I spent more money last month than ever because of certain engagement features I wanted. This month I’m debating the $20 for the battlepass; imagine what the G5s are thinking. I’m sure you don’t need to, they’re probably saying it. Your player attrition is only going to continue to bleed if you don’t start paying attention to what your players NEED. I can’t enjoy new content if I still have to deal with the really old.

Love this game, love the people I play it with, and I’ve never seen anything else like it… but for the first time in 4 years, I’m worried.

[acoustic cloud]

Coming soon: Defiant Borg Hunter Prime Research, 2x 139.99

[mild steppe]

This arc is very disappointing. Overgrind!

[foggy light]

@tacit obsidian Why was the Orion Corvette Research Node bug in Field Training not fixed in Update 50? When will it be fixed?
Cheers.

[solid creek]

So far the arc doesn’t look good

[lavish lark]

Hmm I can do one every 17 days currently

[hybrid saddle]

But yes looks like once ever 17 days 1 start until u get a t9 vi'dar..all this does is slow down my IND credits farm something that is already bad now made worse..by this.

[plush ginkgo]

This perfectly sums up my feelings on it. @tacit obsidian @royal solar please make sure feedback like this is passed on so change can be made

[scenic pivot]

Also, the loading splash screen? That was cool the first couple times, but now it's just a little creepy

[spare vapor]

I'm pretty excited for this months content, with the one exception being how this eats into Independent credit sourcing.

[mild ore]

Will probably skip Borg Solo's. You lose FKR creds to get 1 solo directive. Plus a required 40+ min added daily grind. Getting 1 mil FKR creds for 4* epic, etc. will add years to that grind. PASS!!!

[brisk ibex]

Having the one anti-Borg ship (Vi’Dar) not work on the Borg solo armadas, and no research to enable it seems oddly shortsighted….

If it works on Probes, Traders, Cubes, Mega cubes and all other things BoRG why exactly doesn’t it work out of the box vs Borg solo armadas?

[soft pebble]

Why have all ships become lower in power? This problem is for everyone on server 27

[wind vortex]

🤫

[covert dove]

Hard pass on the new borg stuff, which, by default, also means i won't be engaging with fleet commanders.

I am not spending 30k probes to unlock one aramada.

Thank you for saving me the $500-1,000 I would have spent on creds, skill points, etc.

I have way too many other things that require probes, like independent creds to waste them on armadas.

[native adder]

Plesse., please, please return Scout Messages to the bar at the top of the Faction Stores, and Inert and Charged Nanoprobes in the Borg refinery. Fed up with new things being added and no longer being able to see the things you actually need to monitor so you know in advance when you need to farm more. Thank you.

[gleaming nebula]

They even managed to break webstore this time 😂

[vast nest]

Now that is a high priority bug

[gleaming nebula]

It must be running now from the same type of server as the game does 😆

[sacred garden]

Of course what you expect. Scopley is to busy pocketing the money instead of actually spending it on actually fixing the game. It’s nice to have new features and content, but that’s only ever any good when the game actually works. After all they still ain’t fixed all the issues with the game not even the issues that many have of not being able to complete the field training because they don’t know how to over ride to force acknowledgement of things being completed. Many of had the corvette research done four years ago. Heck I had all the early research done 3 months after I started four years s as go at the least. As for lag that’s still a problem so is being kicked from the game . I’ve seen no fixes just a few temporary bandaids and that’s it.

[nova sierra]

@tacit obsidian unless I’m missing something you’ve taken one of the worst grinds in the game and doubled it! Please at least tell me there will be better sourcing for the vidar skin for those of us who don’t currently have it? I now would need a full pull (1M) Borge probes a day to keep up with all new refinery options+original (I’m guessing I’m not the only one needing the independent credits) + research…without the skin and new amounts needed my current daily Borg grind is 45 mins with warp times…I haven’t got an hour a day to spend grinding borg

[sacred garden]

Maybe all us players should start saying sorry scopley our vaults are closed tell they fix all the issues.

[nova sierra]

The big spenders would go into withdrawals 😅

[sacred garden]

@ shin kicker big spenders can find better games that are far more appreciative of their money we’re they get far more for their buck. I know I used to play a lot of them. This one play mostly when out or wife is sleeping for work. Otherwise I play on my gaming systems were I get far more enjoyment and far more value for my money.

4yrs of playing I’ve seen improvement and fixes but also. Loads of bugs glitches and straight up breaking of the game. The later far more then the fixes and improvements. Slapping a bandaid on it isn’t fixing it , unfortunately that’s all the recent fixes and supposedly improvements actually are is a bandaid. Reporting issues with their webstore is a joke since it always seems to make report it as game issues. Only store issue I have with in game is no access. I actually log into the store through the internet using Google which is always riddle with same bugs and glitches as this broken fame.

[vivid quarry]

AS I visual reminder to players it would be good if the Command Center Tab was either Green or Red depending on whether a COmmander was on Duty or not

[tender cedar]

@tacit obsidian: When are you adding systems with tactical borgs with muuuuuuch higher loot?!? 150 ships per day is NOT acceptable

[rustic lynx]

So i need 6 or more days for 1chest?

[frank forum]

yup they doubled it... but then halved it again with the new prime so you have the privilege of paying £89.99 for not having to choose between being able to do both new and old borg stuff 😂

[nova sierra]

Ah well spotted…I get they are trying to revitalise Borg but honestly this is not the way to do it…I’ve seen vids that say you can do your Borg grind in 20 mins but I certainly can’t, so with new officers, officers upgrade, primes and armada directives packs where are we for full participation this month? 6/700 dollars/euros whatever? Ever since mantis scopley greed level is disgusting..making it un enjoyable for the average joe

[frail latch]

Am I right in understanding that the Command Center is only useful when I get it to level 40?

[nova sierra]

No

[pallid ridge]

The "Explorer"-skilltree of Kirk is slightly confusing. It says "explorer" and shows the symbol of the "explorer"-ship class, but then in some skills it shows the interceptor symbol, in other cases no symbols. An explanation is somewhat missing. It confuses quite a few people in my alliance...

[frail latch]

So what am I doing wrong? I've built it but can't assign anyone to it.

[fallen epoch]

Carry on the mission till you get the option to unlock Kirk or Spock

[frank forum]

You are forgetting that "average Joe" is not really the target audience or preferred customer, judging by pricing strategy. It's not a game where a pack costs 5 quid, enabling and encouraging more people to spend more frequently. It's a game where to actually compete you have to heavily invest both in terms of money and time. I'm sure they looked at both pricing models and decided that targeting the top 1-5% (?) of wealthy player population with apparently plenty of time on their hands is the more profitable way to go, somehow 🤷‍♀️

[supple root]

Are we going to get higher borg probe systems? 33 is far too low for 40+ops level players and 4 systems is still too little for a whole server.

[frail latch]

Thanks, I thought it was complete already but apparently not. Appreciate the help

[nova sierra]

I’m so excited about the new officers, I went Kirk hoping the explorer ability included a warp range increase..great news!! It does……when you get the command centre to level 40 and kirks level to 13 he will increase your warp range by…(drumroll please)…. 1 🤦‍♂️

[sour rampart]

@tacit obsidian I love this arc! I was literally saying last month y’all need to bring the of9 crew into play but can y’all opt out of arcs next month and focus on the bugs and issues this game has instead of bringing new storylines and characters out I’m sure everyone would appreciate the bug’s getting fixed instead of a story arc

[nova sierra]

Typical scopley math I guess, 1 x 100 = more than 25 x 10, everyone except them can see their money grabbing is counter productive but hey if it restricts their revenue stream while simultaneously killing the game why should we complain?….oh wait

[clever orbit]

OPs 34 and below cannot complete "Complete New Missions -SMS", because of OPs restrictions on some of the missions, the max points they can get is 75 from unbound mission and legends mission. The SMS requires 125 points to complete, and the rest of the missions are OPs locked to a higher ops.

[brazen prism]

It takes more than 17 day to get 100 credits for one Borg armada, that is just ridiculous... 😵‍💫

[olive nacelle]

That’s is ridiculous……along with so much else right now……..will they/ do they listen……..not likely, they are too busy counting profit from the 5% ish of wealthy customers in the player base still silly enough to spend money on this.

[severe wren]

Hey team, can we have hostiles in the Borg Solo Armada area please?
Background is, when you ships are damaged enough to not fly the next Solo…but still not dead, Disco them home can be expensive 😄
Or other view…if you still have a buff going on your strongest ship, but you need others with a better health, it saves time.
Havnt flew a Borg Solo yet, but knowing from normal Solos 😄
Would be nice 😀

[earnest granite]

100% this! It is super annoying having to waste Mushrooms to get almost dead ships home.

[brazen prism]

This is downright bad information from Scopely again. ** if you are not the Vidar max level, you cannot do Borg solo armada. Every other level you don't get enough credits to do it** <@&509691205798592532>

[nova sierra]

Huh?

Sorry trying to understand what you’re referring to - you can do Borg armadas but you’re either buying directives or spending a really long time refining. I’d perhaps argue cannot is the practical outcome.

[fallen epoch]

You can do them at any Vidar tier it’s just not practical till you max your Vidar

[alpine solstice]

I really need a pop up asking me if I’m sure for the little red button on the commander screen….

[sinful willow]

@tacit obsidian any work in progress to get this completed higher ups that already have the Orion research done ?

[potent silo]

We have no ETA on a fix, no

[timber lion]

<@&509690795536941056> Cost of borg armada starts are rediculous.... forcing us to sacrifice independent credits for armada start is outright silly. We were promised roadmap would reduce churn and now we have to do 1 x 500k run of probes every day, and have to choose either credits or armada starts, before this we could easily just do 1 x 500k run every 5 days.... this has added to churn and losing us more of the main thing everyone is crying out more for more of. I've got 10-15 officers that need independent credits now... this is poor.

[hearty zenith]

What does selectable in the skill tree mean? How do you select it?

[zealous trellis]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar So... you guys gonna finish rendering the Borg Spheres at some point...?

[woeful nymph]

To "fix" the Borg Loop and Borg Solo Armada concerns I suggest: Reduce the Cost of Borg Solo Armadas Directives by 50%. Reduce the Full Pull cost for Charged Nanoprobes to 750k. Increase the duration of all Nanoprobe Exocomps to 30 minutes. Everyone is still gated by the Refinery and Chest cooldowns. @tacit obsidian @royal solar

[crude sandal]

not sure "making it mildly less rage inducing" is a fix 😂

[zealous trellis]

Why not just increase drops, full stop. They proved they can easily alter drop amounts (Jem'Hadar). This is 3 year old content.

[timber lion]

Coming next month: Vidar A with increased drops and specific systems and 7 more currencies to upgrade, yours for only £89.99

[potent blade]

Here's a great idea. Why don't you hold an event where the main prize is SHIP XP. When completed the player would have 250K or more and maybe throw in OFFICER XP and other items.

[cyan portal]

More like 6x 89.99

[timber lion]

Yeah i didnt count the primes xD

[chrome vortex]

We need stronger probs that drop more loot. I cannot grind enough to get in this loop. I get 887k / run which takes 20 min in a somewhat empty system.

[junior sierra]

please fix solo mada alerts. tired or my phone pinging all day for solo mada action

[tidal acorn]

Some of the skills in the Kirk and Spock trees seem like they should be swapped.

Spock has defense platforms skills? I get it, it's defence but still more of a Kirk thing.

Kirk has the impulse and warp boost skills? Yeah, that's great for combat but that's more of a science thing. Increasing the impulse and warp speed requires more efficient designs and tech, and you know who would be able to do that? Yeah, a science officer, which Spock is.

[full lintel]

Bad New patch .... i dont want to spend the whole day ingame to do stupid things

[nova sierra]

Please, please, please @tacit obsidian @royal solar get rid of this event. Replace it with "hit Dominion hostiles" for example. Worms have zero benefit to players and we hate hitting them!

[noble ridge]

<@&509690795536941056> - So for the SMS for people less than ops 35, we have to pay $100 to participate? Why not have an option for people to hit probes to score? Borg Directives are scarcely sourced and are always blown during the "real" borg event -- like the one we just had a couple weeks ago.

[vivid raft]

@tacit obsidian & @royal solar Is a fix for the bug in the game client violating EU legislation planed or or not? We have given you more then enough time and in return have so far only received closed unanswered tickets or a copy/paste from the FAQ that doesn't help... I'm aware that some players have already submitted official complaints to local authorities and that they have been told that the EU commission is considering taking over so should we follow in there steps or are you having an ETA for the fix to the problem?

[steel pulsar]

so a question for the devs, when the HELL are they fixing the push messages to my ipad and iphone for solo armadas that other people are running

[hexed pelican]

Now that we have again more armada related items, maybe put them in their own (sub)section? Instead of randomly scattered inbetween years of old unused currencies, making them quite hard to find. Since clearing up seems quite the job (for how long have we asked about that now lol) a half-solution would at least be something

[tepid bramble]

That sounds to me like they will kill the game.

[vivid raft]

Considering the fine is calculated by time frame * amount of EU players * amount of violations (can be more then one per player) it can even bankrupt the company ...

[kind minnow]

this entire arc is just recyclement of an old arc with extra grind and money grabbing. shame on u scopely

[old seal]

Scopely doing it themselves very well anyway. It's gonna be a race 🤣😂

[random lintel]

What this guy said!

[exotic tangle]

He defiant not being a faction ship so not getting research for the new armadas is silly being it was a ship made for solo armadas

[stray nymph]

Most pointless facet of the game. They must keep running this event to try and make some point to these systems.

[tepid bramble]

How about the fact the defiant was designed to fight the Borg and they don’t give it the ability to affect it much is silly and disingenuous 🙄

[rustic lynx]

I am waiting now over 24h to resolve my bug and get a fleet commander… the 10 shards wont help me as i am still at 0/150. any chance CS will help me before the end of the event? 👿

My ticket #8766262 if that helps…

[worthy flare]

I still missing 150 shards of Kirk. But wow I get 10 of both

[coral dagger]

Do the mission homie

[rustic lynx]

Oh the mission i have done yesterday before the game bugged away my allready unlocked fleet commander? Thanks for the great and useless advice…

[coral dagger]

Do it right then idk

[subtle briar]

Same boat here

[vivid raft]

Have you completed Legends of the Cosmos Part 5? If note make sure you know who you are selecting before starting Part 5 because you will have to select Kirk or Spock with no info or option to delay ...

[rustic lynx]

If he has the same bug as me, yes… mission done, kirk unlocked, after game restart he was locked again and back at 0/150

[molten jungle]

<@&509690795536941056> This Borg loop seems to save no time and punishes players faction credit progression. instead of me grinding 40 minutes every 4-5 days (Less if I get a borg away mission), now I have to grind 20 minutes every day (With exocomp and add in doing a Borg solo) which is at least 40 more minutes than before. This loop creates a horrible opportunity cost of either going for armada directives OR faction credits and most players use those credits as part of the overall daily bundle to obtain blueprints for ships. Even if the exocomp lasted an hour (sucks right now at 20 min), I'm still grinding more than I used to which was the complaint that was brought up to justify creating said exocomp. The fleet commander idea is great, but you didn't in any way shape or form reduce the grind for people that had a maxed Vidar. In fact, after edits, you doubled it.

*Couple of edits. My mental math was off.

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> Is there any plans to offer the Infinitus Skin in one of the Solo Borg chest or perhaps as a separate chest pull somewhere? It is a great help in grinding the probes needed to fuel this whole arc's worth of content.

[prime socket]

Refinery turn ins are not giving FC skill points. Dust turn in and solo borg turn in both SAID I should get them but never received.

[kind minnow]

when ill @tacit obsidian respond to the community how with "less grind on the agenda" there is now in fact. more grind.

[subtle briar]

Yes mission completed and points awarded for completion made my choice and nothing.

[earnest granite]

Which Bug is that? O.O

[vivid raft]

The auto Opt-In one

[earnest granite]

Oohhh, completely missed that so far. Wth that is indeed 100% illegal.

[vivid raft]

Each time you "Opt out" it resets your choice to "Opt In" about 15 min later, not to mention that the collection of PII as stated in here without explicit consent is making the whole "Opt Out scheme" a very big GDPR violation ...

[narrow talon]

When was this implemented? No information about that STFC is selling privat information? That calls for a report of GDPR violation.

[ornate field]

So what's the use ? Game already allows above max

[hollow chasm]

@tacit obsidian , I'm in an odd spot. Finished the complete legends of cosmos mission, selected spock, mission complete rewards screen showed 150 spock shards but received ZERO. I now have 10 kirk and 10 spock shards from the chest given everyone but don't have the fleet command officer, still. Did a ticket yesterday, provided screenshots earlier this morning. Frankly concerned that the ticket will be closed because it seems the bug shorted some people 1 or 2 shards generally. Any insights or assistance would be appreciated.

[glad nimbus]

Are the fc shards going out separately to different servers? It’s been 2 hours and still don’t see them on s65

[hollow chasm]

Got mine recently. Maybe an obligatory game close/reopen?

[livid tusk]

I'm sure this has been asked before but is it correct that in the borg refinery I only got 6 solo armada credits? Someone else in my alliance said they got 100.

[glad nimbus]

Nope. Support finally responded to my ticket to say…wrong category. Put your info in again. Still no fc shards.

[glad nimbus]

Vidar t1-8 refinery is 6, t9 is 100.

[elfin root]

Welp, here we go again... PLEASE for the love of everything holy, increase the loot drop for Borg! I don't mind having to go every day to get the new stuff but don't make it take an hour! The change to 3xApex was great to reduce actian grind time, please do something similar for Borg! Thank you! (and the same for security codes and whatever the drops from jemhadar are called while you're at it)

[molten jungle]

We have the Franklin, grind, the DVor grind, the Feesha grind, the Amalgam grind, the Defiant grind, the Stella grind, the Fran/Frank-A grind, the Mantis grind, and the Vidar grind, but their brilliant idea to reduce the time spent on the game doing grinds was to add a new Vidar grind that effectively takes more time than it used to by virtue that it's the only way to promote the new officers.

[vivid raft]

From the start, they ware forced to add the Opt Out box a few months ago due to a new California (USA) law that forced them to give us the option and still claim it's EU/GDPR compliant to colect PII without explicit consent ...

[solid creek]

Same support said wrong category and yet to receive the extra shards to fix the fleet commander unlock.

[drifting shale]

what’s the cooldown on the quantum comm daily chest? 24h or a bit less?

[worn pasture]

These features are fun and engaging and force us to think, my favorite kind of gameplay. Thank you again!

[fallen epoch]

22h

[fading flame]

More grinding… its not a game anymore… its like a second job… 🙄🤦‍♂️

[royal solar]

I noticed you've posted this a few times. We have chatted with our legal on it previously, but happy to chat with you directly regarding your concerns. 🪴

[tribal bane]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar y’all have gone mad with pricing on armada directives… what I get from beating those doesn’t even match what I could get from some rando 100 pack. If you want people to really engage and make more money lower the price points for this stuff. $50s is not a micro purchase. Please someone for the love of whatever being or thing you believe In educate the folks pricing this stuff on pricing strategies

[naive stream]

I thought we were being promised less game time necessary to play the game. We now have so many things to keep track of and to get done in a day. It's all so overwhelming. How do we know what to prioritize and what are we supposed to do to get it all done? There's only so many hours in a day. I can't decide what to focus on anymore.

Faction Hunting Dailies
Mining Dailies
Swarm Dailies
Daily Events - some of which take hours to complete
Cardassian Armadas
Borg Solo Armadas
Dominion Solo Armadas
Actian Hostiles
Dominion Hostiles
Borg Probes

I'm sure I'm missing some, there's so many. Not to mention all the grinding necessary to get meager rewards that take forever to collect, just to get more meager rewards needed to get research, buildings, and ships upgraded.

How are we expected to get it all done in one day, every day? I already have a full time job. I can't really handle another one.

[brave prairie]

Dear Scopely. i can see you start to go in the right direction in bringing content that can have a benefit for all. at the moment i am not yet convinced this ne borg solo armada thing brings everyone further and less grinding. vidar is a very important ship in the game and me personally like it very much. the thing about the exos for borg probe loot seems good depending on how easily to get . for now it seems getting these in spending active probes to borg solo directives is way to expensive. make it cheaper so the need of grinding is less and still we have good benefits of the faction credits in the borg refinery. at the moment its a "directives- or factions credits" choosing. and what about the possible borg officer shards ? OPS 35 just can get a bad chance of less useful oficcers. but the epic ones in it ! make it a btter option for all ! not a grind circle

[fading flame]

We clearly need more armadas 😂😂😂 NOT…

[vivid raft]

That's fine but the problem is no answer has been given on the subject and as I have already mentioned - I was told that the EU commission is already considering the case due to multiple complaints from players in different EU countries...

[royal solar]

Not sure where you heard that. Legal has been checked. But as stated before, please send me a pm if you'd like to talk about it further.

I don't want to fill up this channel with a 1:1 conversation, and want to leave it open for others providing general feedback.

[vivid raft]

Where I heard what? So far we don't have an official statement on the problem or even info if you are working on a fix for the Opt Out bug.

[royal solar]

It's not a bug and doesn't break legal. We have followed up with legal. Again, any other concerns, please reach out in pm.

[bleak imp]

Well only half of this new event is working for me. Can not get regular Borg directives out of the refinery, only solo one which at lvl 31 are impossible to beat. I did the upgrade and have reset this game my times then I can count. Did all of the suggestion in the frequently asked area. Others in my alliance are having the same issues. The game crashes more then ever now. But hey, I got hey, I got some free shards. Really!

[rustic lynx]

I have the same bug… any advice or help would be great

[royal solar]

@vivid raft Final warning. You've posted several times. If you would like to chat further, you can message me directly.

[ripe thicket]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar you have got to fix the we are the borg sms and the resistance is NOT futile sms. Most players cant complete the futile event which means they wont be able to finish the we are borg. I can't kill a 45 but the 41 is was easy.

If you are not going to fix it, please let me know now so I wont waste my time playing this month. There are lots of other games I could spend my time and money on. Adding another 40 minutes to an already 4+ hour grind is not fun. And the +125% loot grind every 4 days only saves me 20 minutes. The time sink is getting much much worse.

If you had made the vidar cargo unlockable for ftp players, maybe, just maybe that would make the grind just a tad big easier. But you have made grinding easier behind a massive paywall. I am getting sick and tired of it all.

Is it worth my time to continue playing or am I hosed by not being able to finish the resistance is not futile sms?

[ripe thicket]

You forgot the data, lat, clat, exchange armadas, exchange grinding, iso mining, missions research, buildings, collecting dailies, away teams, refineries, ship parts and the travel time to DS

[naive stream]

I knew I had forgotten quite a lot, but you helped illustrate my point even further. Thank you.

[zealous trellis]

Seriously? Come on, do better.

[naive stream]

I thought of another one.... TC for those lucky enough to have territories to defend, or as we like to say, watching grass grow and paint dry for half an hour. If you have five terras, that's several boring hours right there, assuming a quiet server that has established terras.

[crystal dew]

I like the increased grind times and loops as it's broken the illusion for me of needing to get everything done. Now I'm playing the game in a more healthy manner.

[ripe thicket]

Our TC is controlled by 6 players. Whales are too powerful when it comes to TC. We have so many sub 20 alliances that have 4 and 5 TC and 4* systems it is not funny.

[wary tendon]

@tacit obsidian great that you are giving everyone 10 free FC shards, but that still leaves us who were shorted getting less than those that weren’t. I hope that this gets made up for those of us that did get shorted

[fallen epoch]

You were missing more shards than 10?

[subtle briar]

Several of us were missing all 150 shards. Now we got 10 spock and 10 kirk...great that still doesn't fix the problem so well just close your ticket now and put you back in line to submit another ticket that we can ignore.

[fallen epoch]

Do you want to be snarky or would you like to be clear and get some help with that? Currently not looking for riddles. If you don’t want help move on please

[subtle briar]

Apologies just very frustrated that CS can be so bad and nothing ever gets done about it. It put in a ticket yesterday for not getting the FC shards and 24h later its closed without resolution. So I try again and get an auto response saying it may take 24h for a response followed shortly by another auto response say actually it'll be more like 72h until we respond. So I'm stuck waiting 4 days and what's the result gonna be, ticket closed again without resolution?

[fallen epoch]

So explain to me specifically what happened with your FC shard issue. PM. Me or move to #🤝-help-each-other so we can avoid the slow down

[restive totem]

I need more armadas, more gameplay loops, more currencies, more glitches, more specialty ships, and more armadas (for emphasis) so I have more excuses for less time with family and friends

[wary tendon]

I was missing 2…. But my understanding was that all players were getting 10, which means I’m still behind by 2…. Not a big deal, but it did slow me down for events yesterday.

[tacit obsidian]

Hello @umbral thistle

When it comes to anything legal or privacy based, the Discord is not the place to speak about it. If you have concerns, you can reach out to the Scopely Legal team but no person in this Discord can speak about this topic

[fallen epoch]

Have you tried restarting device and game? Everyone got the 10 shards each

[wary tendon]

I did restart. I think you’re missing my point, or I may just be being petty. If everyone is getting 10 shards, that still means I am a day late, getting my fleet commander, and I still have less shards than everyone else who didn’t have the issue

[fierce turret]

Who'd have thought....contrary to their roadmap, scopely added more grind. Made the existing loops worse and added another type of loop 🙄

[wary tendon]

So I guess my direct ask is will those who were affected get compensated at least the shards they were shorted, in addition to the 10 that everybody gets

[umbral thistle]

Thanks for the reply, not really concerned as such just responding to someone else getting shut down talking about the subject. Not my responsibility to sort out 🤣

[fallen epoch]

Yes they will be. Have you written a ticket to CS

[wary tendon]

I did

[cosmic glacier]

So 6? SIX? directives for tier 1-8 vidar for 10.5k probes and 100 directives for a tier 9 for 28k? Seems like there should be some more tiers added for the amounts received.

[main pilot]

Why did they take away my ability to see how many ship repair helps I have? They did it before and gave it back

[mellow loom]

Any plans to return our ability to see how many ship repair helps we've gotten? Would be nice if there was a ticker on the dock but at least bring it back to where it was.

[coral dagger]

Can we please just have a Log Out, not a Switch Account with murky unclear wording that can SOMEHOW in an instant replace all the progress on your saved Scopely ID account with an entirely new account if you don't get the ambiguous "answer me my questions three" process correct?

[severe wren]

Good Morning 🙂
Ran my first Vidar 20 min 50% loot Exo and here some feedback 😄

• make this (and the other Exos) run longer : I love the Amalgam Plunder Exo 🫶
  First, i had no Daily Borg grind, happy about running Borg ATA and Borg sms. That’s it 😄 could pull daily Indi, daily kln…done 😄now I’m stressed out „filling“ my cargo in 20 Min, despite there is also a warp time in between.
  I was alone in a system, but just luckily because I woke up early. As soon another player arrived, I was annoyed because I can’t hit hostiles in my flow 🙈
• make the Exos give more loot : I love the Amalgam Plunder Exo 🫶 😂
  And No, the epic Exos are chances 🙈 and also limited in time 🙈
• A cargo boost Exo of 50% runs 3h 👀 hint hint, nodge nodge 😄
• Give us bigger hostiles with more loot 🙏

Yea, overall…after a long time, I feel the need to add Borg grinding again to a more frequent to do 😅 mh….did I already say, I love the Amalgam Plunder Exo 👀🫶😄
After a week, will give another feedback about how my Borg grind changed.

#takeanexampleofAmaExo 🫶😄

[willow raven]

Stop with the grind. Stop it. You’re burning out your player base. The disrespect you show to your player/customer base is unbelievable. Ops 39 should be high enough for the content. Repackaging the same bajoran bs after getting all that player feedback telling you how much we all hate it just shows you DO NOT care about the players. You’re not getting a dime from me this arc again. Stop the grind. You’re making people quit.

[tidal acorn]

Separate the new grind loop from the old one.

Remove the UC Borg solo armada directive cost of charged nanoprobes. Just give out 100 UC Borg solo directives daily in the refinery that require no grind like the Bajoran faction does and more like the beacons in the mantis refinery. Additionally, another 50 should be attached to the helps daily alongside the 20 tactical directives.

For refining charged nanoprobes, the 2nd pull should give you enough charged nanoprobes to pull all the IND, Klingon, Romulan and Federation credit pulls daily with a max Vidar at a lower cost of 300k inert probes (I know, massive ask ). If Scopely are feeling extra nice, could lower it even more haha

[acoustic cloud]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar

Eco went on content creator shows this week to say that he'd seen the math behind the Borg probe epic exocomps, and they would let you get full cargo in no time.

Here's my math as to why the 5 minute timer is the worst thing to come out of scopely in a long time:

Depending on warpspeed research, most players with a maxxed V'idar can get to a lvl 33 probe system in 1-2 minutes (avg 1:30) This leaves 210 seconds for probe hunting before the exocomp expires.

A max cargo V'idar with a mid tier la'an can hold about 560k probes.

Mode probe loot is ~3500 units, at 500% bonus, this takes 32 kills to fill your cargo.

With 210 seconds, this leaves 6.56 second per kill, subtracting the 5 second animation means players would need to target, click and move to a new hostile every second and a half (which is clearly not possible)

This is a broken mechanism, please fix either the bonus or the timers on these exos

Make them 1hr at current bonus rate, or 5000% at current timer.

[rustic lynx]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar I need some help, I allready posted my problem with the 0/150 officer shards yesterday and someone passed my ticket number to be prioritized… now after 36h the ticket was closed with the message „i should claim the 10 shards from the chest to fix my problem“. But 10/150 wont solve anything…
Now i have created another ticket, but If i have to wait another 36h and dont know if its solved, I will miss the current event and may end up without any commander in the end… New ticket is #8774546

[fallen epoch]

I’m still waiting for your PlayerID in my PM please

[tropic crown]

@tacit obsidian can we please stop getting multiple new currency every update?’. Can we please get more way to earn independent credits.

[dire rose]

Haha yes no more grinding or armadas = $copely - lets make them grind something else and give them more armada - more spend to do events $$$

I feel sorry for any new player overwhelmed with all the stuff to do for foo bar rewards

[midnight timber]

Am I the only one who thinks 28k charged nanoprobes is kinda steep for 1 borg uc armada?
Also, I like the vi’dar cargo exo, but 10min?! Can we get at least 30min? I mean come on

[devout ermine]

All these new currencies are getting more frustrating with every single %&^@ arc. What's with the currency fetish at Scopely?! After years of enduring, you'd think you'd understand a mechanic when a new currency comes out. But upgrading those fleet commanders requires a doctorate! Your currency obsession is sickening.

[nova sierra]

#NoMoreNewGrinds!

[timber pond]

To the admins please raise this with Scopely immediately. It is not GDPR compliant to opt me in by default to share my data with third parties.

[rough belfry]

I don't understand the need to both level up the FC and the building in order to get the skills. Also leveling up the building gets you actual bonuses each time (stat boosts) But leveling up the FC does...nothing? There is nothing listed under the FC level screen. And it takes 2 different currencies to rank up a FC, Commander Exp to reach the needed level and then FC credits to actually rank up. But even then the Rank does actually **DO **anything.

If we got rid of the whole level/rank system then you would still need to build up the CC to unlock access to the skills but to activate them you would need FC specific skill points. So instead of 4 currencies (2 of which do nothing) we would only need 2. Simpler is better most of the time.

[velvet sonnet]

@timber pond that's why they dont have any information about me other then my nickname and google id )

[abstract pecan]

But with the extra complexity there is more to monetise. This is the Scopely way. 🤑

[lavish lark]

Stop making more grinds in the game. I already didn't do borg stuff and the new content just makes it easier to skip. Just stop make sure what you already are doing works, and lessen the grind for players. Because this new borg stuff goes against the road map where you all said you were going to lessen the grind. You are pushing players away.

[nova sierra]

#NoMoreNewGrinds it's got ridiculous

[shadow skiff]

Wonder why have they turned Penumbra into such a desolate system. smh

[jovial cove]

So you can get borg directives or independent credits and faction credits but not both who can afford not to get there independent and faction credits every day with all the officers that require them. So another useless feature just like stabase assualts great add on scopes 👍🤣

[grave quest]

Just a personal opinion.... Just like in First Contact, Defiant should be able to support borg solo armadas as well as cardassian!

[olive nacelle]

This! 100%……..the fact it doesn’t is another kick in the teeth.,

[tropic sinew]

It's stupid we now have to grind like 1 million borg probes a day to keep up with refining , especially when Scopley just recently said that they are working on ways to "limit the daily grind and time investment needed". As mentioned above, it's also stupid we can't effectively use our Defiant/specialized solo mada ship on half the the games SOLO MADAS.... should have made the research for the defiant, not the jelly imho. Oh, and while I'm ranting about facts here, it's also stupid that the explorer strike team sucks lol

[flat swift]

for the fleet commander should get the quantum key for skill tree no matter who you start with and it says to get it you have to unlock them well i didnt get mine when chose spock or kirk so...

[fallen epoch]

Check your refinery

[flat swift]

i did

[fallen epoch]

Let’s carry this on in #🤝-help-each-other send a screenshot of your skill tree

[grave quest]

Agreeing on all points here.... Scopely is going in the wrong direction. Its too much new stuff to grind which takes too long for little reward. What is the point of bringing the defiant up if it is just a one-hit-wonder with 'hadar. (ok, it is a pretty strong ship if it is upgraded enough, but the way it is level locked, a level 37 player has a way stronger and cheaper saladin), The solo armadas... ok. They are pretty cool. But having maxed out the vidar only recently, I was looking foward to finally being able to get some independant credits to level up officers that have been on the back burner for so long. Now its only use is.... armada directives! And all that being said, the grinding is so bad! Between mantis (and how busy those systems are where you sometimes cannot even cannot get into the system because they are so busy --> we need more systems), vidar now for directives, and fleet commander currencies (which i still need to wrap my head around), jem hadar for the bajorans, and all that on top of the standard eclipse, (franklin luckily is not much of an issue anymore), faction reputation to work up to a lvl 42 ship, and I am forgetting a lot too. At some point, scopely must realize that they are not going to sell more packs just because more are available, and people will leave the game if it becomes too overwhelming, as is currently the case.

When are we supposed to have the time to go raiding XD

[molten jungle]

Scopely - We design the new solo armadas to be played daily
Me - It may take only 2 minutes for the armada, but the grind added behind the Borg loop in particular is horrible. At least the Bajoran+Dominion grind I send 3 ships, kill the right Dominion hostiles in the battle triangle, and take a 3-4 day break from the part of the loop that isn't pleasant. There is no break from the Borg loop. Have to spend hours of grinding to be able to take the same kind of break from killing hostiles mindlessly.

FYI - If the grind portion were more like the Bajoran, or even better, the Amalgam one, people would actually have time to do other stuff.

[grizzled plume]

Solo armadas were good in bajoran space but take time and need organisation using multiple ships. No one asked for a rinse and repeat arc, which also bought back an old grind for many, with more work. And the good uncommon directive sourcing in bajoran has been lost with the latest arc.

[warm crater]

can we get an "Armadas" tab in the "Items" menu?

stick all the armada things in there by general space:

"regular", with directives and loot for the first style of armada directives; UC/R/E directives and credits for regular armadas and Cardmadas
"exchange" with directives, loot, and uranium
"solos" with the two flavors of directives (Dom and Borg) and related loot
"other" for the specialty ones (wormpimple madas)

Why: as new armada types are added, the directives and loot and such is going in various places and getting all mixed in and harder to find...

[tropic sinew]

Agreed, this could be fixed(at least mostly), by making the Borg Solo Armada directive chest cost like 1k nanoprobes. 30k is ridonculous

[unborn ridge]

@tacit obsidian I just finished the talking in cars podcast that you were kind enough to do with DJz. I was wondering if you have any follow-up regarding whether the solo borg armada boxes for ops 35-39 were intended to only have four officers in them (1/11, 2/11, 8/11, and 9/11 - two blues and two greens), or if this was a mistake as you indicated it might be. Having only these four officers in these boxes, in addition to the vastly increased grind and giving up independent credit sourcing that is necessary to participate in the solo borg armada loop, there is very little upside to participation in this new loop for these ops levels.

[willow hull]

Battlepass Payout has been getting steadily worse, and this is hands down the worst I’ve seen

[prime socket]

Scopely needs to stop sending pointless alerts. Alerts that are announcing the battlepass are annoying. Especially three days into it.

[calm copper]

It seems you can no longer see how many people pushed the help button for ship repairs.
In the past you could see that in the Help screen but now since last patch that was removed.

[hidden night]

Pretty sure they've done that every new releases since about July, it usually comes back within a couple of days, Scopley genius at work as alwasys, don't fix whats broken and break what didn't need fixing.

[grizzled plume]

Mantis systems with only 3 apex are a joke when so many players now have the ship. Another grind that is getting worse by the day.

[steep socket]

Thanks for nothing.. the duration on these are way too short to be useful

[modern jolt]

I leave that up for the community managers to decide - but thanks for your opinion

[tropic sinew]

No problem, anytime. This isn't an airport though, no need to announce your departure. Also "quitting" is a relative term. I've seen numerous players "quit", then 5 days later they back playing and at it again.

Could you pm me with all the details, please?

[fathom trellis]

@royal solar @tacit obsidian This is perhaps a question that you can't answer immediately, and maybe not one that you can share an answer with us players with at all for some time. But...

I've noticed on Android that the STFC app is now 5.57GB to install. That's a huge app in fact it's nearly twice the size of RAID Shadow Legends which is in and of itself a big game (RAID is 3.03GB sized) given the fact that other games such as Persona Dx2 is 2GB and Warhammer 40k Lost Crusade (another 4x mobile game) is 1.29GB in size. To give you an idea - I have over a thousand downloaded songs in my Spotify library. My Spotify app and all it's associated files eats up 6.97GB.

What is the plan from Scopely to optimize the game and remove bloat (i.e., the ridiculous number of currencies in player inventories etc?) Or how long will it be before as a Game Development Studio you have to simply admit - the game is no longer viable as a mobile app and must become a PC only release?

Delete and reinstall

So I like this expansion but man seriously you all are killing your game with the amount of daily lengthy grinds and getting enough probes for one as in 1 armada a day takes a good portion of your day if you can't be always on game... I won't buy the prime either... eh.. some of us actually have daily lives ya know.

The team has been in discussion on this (memory). I don't have anything I can currently share, just that there are things being looked at and discussed. 🪴

It’s mostly bloat from past update files sticking around. People need to delete and reinstall the app fresh and it knocks it back down to under 2Gb
Just poor execution of installers and no self deleting of unneeded files afterward.

How do tie breaking rules get applied to these events ?

It’s day 3 of the arc and I’m already fed up with grinding Borg probes. They need to fix this fast or I’m giving up. Please tell me they’re going to make this 100x better fast and I don’t have to wait for next month.
