Only if you spend money will it get easier.
They increase the grind by 3-4x, then offer a new prime to halve that grind.
Enjoy!
Manufactured suffering
2 ViDars and an exo, 10 minutes to farm 1.1 million probes. Just saying
A whole new Borg Arc and you couldn't give us bigger probes? Really? Do you know how long it takes to fill a Vi'dar? Hours.
If the expectation is that everyone has 2 vidars then they’re nuts, and it’s a 20-25 min grind per cargo for me
I knew a player who built 5 by putting all their arc rewards and clear the galaxy rewards into them, did the grind to max out 4 of them, then realized what a terrible thing they’ve done and quit the game.
The new Pakled officer has a loot boost for probes as well
And that's all great, except they could've just given us level 50 probes while they were putting all this other bs together
Remember, this is a multi-part pack release, I mean arc. There’ll be a vidar-a or new probe systems for you to use your regular ships on.
As is I’m surprised there’s nothing for larger players added on for in the assimilated systems of deep space, or did they forget they even put those in the game?
@tacit obsidian can you and the devs please convince game design to improve the balance of the fleet commanders just a bit? Kirk having impulse speed boost AND warp range boosts isn't balanced. They're not even combat-related; they're more of a research and efficiency thing. You can upgrade the components of your ship for more warp range, but you need research to increase the warp range without upgrading components. At least the warp range boost should be in one of Spock's skill trees. Also, the storage capacity skills aren't very useful (Encased Caches, Grease for Gears, Reinforced Vaults).
And if any changes are made to the skill trees, the specific tree changed could be reset and the resources we've spent on that tree could be sent in a gift to be re-spent on that tree
Why is there so much time between the Captains Log episodes? The last Commanders Hub was a year ago. Seems like Scopley doesn't like to make time to have regular updates to the community. The once a quarter Road Map is good but things could be better @tacit obsidian @royal solar
I'm reliably informed that it's random
@tacit obsidian @royal solar before this arc I was doing ONE Borg trip a week and that was enough to get independent credits and 1 faction credit daily. Now I have to do 1 trip a day to get directives and 2 daily if I still want independent credits. It’s too much. I gave it a try and I just can’t do it. I’m just not going to do this until the costs are dramatically fixed. This is too much grinding
I suggest the directives get changed to cost 28.8k inert nano probes. This eliminates the absurd grind time needed to do this loop
@tacit obsidian and @royal solar , I know this channel is full of complaints on the borg loop. Scopely already broke their roadmap promise of lowering the grind, lol. The fixes to the new borg loop could be done in numerous ways, some of which would take minutes to code. Simply look at the amalgam exo as an example. Move the Vidar exo to the refinery and out of solo rewards. Quadruple it’s buff and make it last an hour. Other fixes would be better, but take more code changes. Fixing the exo and lowering the cost of the solo mada directives would be simple to patch and probably appease the vast majority of us. Just a thought, something has to give… the grinds are driving players away and annoying. Fun gameplay is being pushed further and further down the list. Anyway, just some feedback. Thanks
Shhhhhhh, be good little consumers and buy packs to halve the now quadrupled grind.
I would like to say that this new refinery combo with the new building that includes the Borg is the very best idea that you could have for bringing back the usage of an existing but left aside ship. The Vidar now has more reasons to get on our roster of daily using ships. Congratulations @tacit obsidian @royal solar
I'd agree with you and add that even with the new exos, regarless of how much time they save, the grind is increased. Even with new exos, the current loop basically requires players to do two runs to borg space each day, which, I'd wager, is a drastic increase for many players who were used to doing single pulls daily and maybe taking one to two trips to borg space a week. Regardless of the exos helping with grind time, that is still a big increase just in terms of trips to borg space per week
server trouble? lost 15 minutes because the game was non responsive
Skill trees with permanent decisions without warnings are bad. I accidentially took the wrong skill (warp speed instead of impulse speed) and straight asked support if they can fix / reset. They can't.
I am really frustrated right now and pretty sure that I just made a game breaking fault.
Game breaking because the disadvantage of not having impulse speed will be huge in PVP, PVE.
Please help in this matter.
I gotta say I'm probably a worst case scenario player. Lvl 39, max Vidar, research almost maxxed to lvl. My Vidar cargo hold is 455k. I'm using La'an as part of my crew because I'm far away from SNW Una. Could you guys at least up the transwarp token gifts to 3 per day to make this sustainable for players like me? Thanks.
Sustainable in that situation is tricky as your suggesting 3 trips a day to make it viable. So sustainable in access to the zones, but that's a considerable time sink
You gotta do what you gotta do.
I see Scopely haven’t managed to fix field training Orion research still how much longer 😠🤣
You can grind Corvette shards and probably have a ton in your ships menu if you look, I have enough to build like 5 of them. If you don't, can get them by grinding virtually anywhere but I've heard Zamam is the place to grind them out quickly.
Does this get round the research 🧐 does it will try this
no, the research will block you even if you build the ship, but by building it now you will be ready to complete the entire field training when they will finally fix the research requirement
It shows completed
yes the build step will be completed, but the research one will still block the progress of the entire field training group
@tacit obsidian @royal solar The Craving Part 5. You see something wrong with this picture? Because I see something wrong with this picture. Also, Niran is supposed to be Bajoran. Looks awfully human to me. Lots of that in this game, recycled assets not depicting things as they should be. I posted yesterday I think about a D4 that looks an awful lot like a Vahklas. I've seen garbage RPG Maker games that have better asset usage than this game does.
Vi’dar Tier 1-8 the exchange rate is 10,000 nano probes for 6 directives, however Tier 9 exchange rate is 28,800 for 100 directives, at tier 1-8 this is going to take 29 days for one armada at a single refinery pull (6000), should this be addressed? What’s everyone’s opinion?
My Opinion is that everyone should have maxed Vi'dar before OPS35 to Refine for Credits
Knowing what Kira was at this time...perhaps that was a subtle clue.
It's just like missions that have you "surrounded by hostiles" in a particular system and you have to complete, "destroy x lvl x hostiles" but all the hostiles that are surrounding you are many levels below the requirement. SMH.
Hello all ... I'm taking a Break from Starfleet Command. I've had it with being served up as Whale Butter with each new update. not being able to progress Quickly as a free to play was understandable. But now with the new update its impossible to progress. cant up my commanders cause cant get the mats I need from borg sphere solos So I'm looking at the same slow progression in one area of Development Ships Power ECT, and having to contend with the command buffs make it easier for pay player to whoop my base and ships to the ground.. and I will not even have a prayer of return or retaliation. Proof in the takeover event I had no chance even against ships that where same power as I, with spotty crews and whooping my behind thanks to the buffs. . So just done with it. Im a level 35 player with level 35 Ship's nearly maxed out best crews and exo'd to the max degree I could not even scratch the " solo armada " perhaps be honest and call it a level 50 armada.
Dude. I'm level 35. I've progressed slowly, but have Augur, Saladin, Centurion and can do 2 -4 lvl 35 solos at a time. You're doing something wrong if you can't touch them. I can also take down one lvl 41 solo... so there's that too.
Not knowing how to play the game isn't scopely's fault.
server trouble.... it feels very laggy again....
Making the rank up materials not only exponentially expensive to upgrade FCs but then making it only a CHANCE to pull even a partial amount towards ranking up the FCs? I havent gotten any materials to rank up my FCs three pulls in a row now. So my skills are all locked at level 9 until Kirk is rank 5, which at this pace won't be for another month
Scoring is lagging by something like a minute
try 5 minutes
i'm lvl 37 with t4 g3 epics, and i get a 50% success rate on lvl41 borg solos using exp and bb 80%dmg exos and cerritos buff on my ent, crews i've been using are just nero burning crew, kgk, and 567. if you can't even scratch the solos lower than lvl41 with good crews and nearly maxed g3 epics, the mostly likely culprit is that you did not do the new researches in the combat tree that pertain to the solo armadas.
Lag is terrible today
How about bringing back our ability to see repair helps sent??
I'm continuously getting a "Winner" message in the upper right, every time I click it, it shows a Collect screen for the Kirk Battleship event with no actual rewards. It's showing up every few minutes, and restarting the game didn't fix it.
Has anyone seen a similar glitch to the treasury full problem with the battleship FC event today?
Yes, lots of folks. I cleared localization and that seemed to help. But what actually probably fixed it was I scored the next tier. There seems to be a tier in that event for most folks that shows blank rewards..
Event lag is terrible but not only that daily goals are lagging out huge as well collected everything and 0 rewards showing to collect. A few players in my alliance are experiencing the same Kirk FC Battleship issue also with the swarm one as well.
Think they were trying to fix the blank rewards step and it's fixed now.
LAG!
is the event store supposed to be empty all this week?
Note to scopley: overly complicated, convoluted and confusing does not mean an arc is extra fun.
It’s like the conversion of uncommon skill point to one commander. Why. Just let us spend them on any officer, it’s a totally unnecessary step.
Hey scopley your 💩 is busted again
Working as intended, you can buy the "Reduced Server Lag" pack in the store though, for only $99.99 (limit 4).
This is just ridiculous. Done a whole hull full of Kelvin vs Battleships in Jorda and not a single point through in about 10-15 minutes. The domination points came through in about 5 minutes. Is Beks busy writing a new song or is someone going to comment on this and give us some comms?
Anyone else having issues with Swarm hits not counting towards your dailies?
It'd be nice to to add hostiles to the borg solo mada systems. I have to disco multiple ships out there (cheerio/defiant/Ent) and can't get them home without using more disco juice to get them home. Or getting someone to kill them.
It’s all scoring. Been delayed for 2 hours almost.
"I purchased a pack with my credit card, and it lagged and never actually charged my credit card" , said NO ONE ever...
May only have an effect until next event reset...
Someone needs to feed the hamsters for the servers.
Lag on Server 156 is at least 20 minutes right now
Lag on 143 also
Yo Scoply FIX YOUR GAME ----- AGAIN and Again and again....
Not sure if it is cause of the lag today, but it seems the new borg exos doesn't count as exos for the dailys
nothing is tracking atm, not dailies, or events. and oh look, slow mode.
<@&509691205798592532> As the game is currently not playable. Has this been escalated?
Team is aware
Here's an idea Scopeply....how about u pull your XXXX together and fix all these problems before adding even more new XXXX to the game before you start losing even more players then you've already have
This lag is very bad. Very frustrating.
What makes you think they're losing players?
That might qualify as a dumb question...
Lag lag lag lag… wonderful lag, glorious lag. Thanks Scopely. I leveled a ship 30 minutes ago and still not registered with the event.
The team has invested crystal ore and dilithium into the research to fix lag… unfortunately it has a turnaround time of 2000 days to complete and they refuse to use lat to speedup since it would reduce their end of year bonus
Not really. Any admiral can tell you that there has always been a steady attrition on players. Typically you have 1 or 2 members go inactive on any given month. Maybe the higher level alliances have more dedicated members... but the majority of my guys are =28 - 39. I still see one drop at least once a month.
So, if you have that steady attrition and that maybe includes people quitting for reasons... are the number of people quitting for reasons spiking enough to be noticed within that or are they noise?
More importantly... are the people quitting affecting the number of packs being purchased. I'm guessing if that number goes down, then there is a problem. But if f2p or light spenders are quitting... does that even count?
I'm not saying it does or doesn't. Some of my best members are f2p. But from scopely's perspective... do you think it matters. -AND- are the number of people that stop playing actually increasing. To know that, you'd have to be seeing insights into Scopely's engagement metrics. Which you don't. So you don't know that more people than normal are quitting.
I guess server 16 is broken, no is getting points for any of the events currently. Awesome
@glad cradle That's event worst LOL
Most everyone is having scoring issues.
well done guys! the server is responding and is lightning fast again 👍👌💪
Yay new year new bug lol
Scoring on server 109 is not working. Collecting rewards from your dailies also does not add up to you daily chests 😦
Scoring on Server #34 is also not working
Someone forget to feed the hamsters again ?
It is a shame. After 4 Years running STFC them are still not able to fix the basics. This is nothing else than saving money on the wrong end. Them should employ some good programmers and coders for a wile and if the things are stable, some good maintainer.
Haven’t we been complaining of the lag on reset constantly? Maybe that’s where ya start lookin
these problems are already taking longer the n regular maintenance...... lol just 30 minutes more and it will longer then normal maintenance and yet nothing happen. next there will be incursions and we must experience the same and same over and over again this laggy game doesn't seem to get fixed just brings more and more stuff out without fixing the lag....
Thought today was supposed to be a mine ore day by the ticket calendar but F' our planning ahead we get crystal. Great job on the game Scopely. Oh I forgot it doesnt matter because nothing is Scoring anyway.🤬
why does the announcement say lag issues have been going on last 30 minutes when scoring hasn't been working since noon eastern?
Ok, so my points will eventually arrive..
But I have family commitments tomorrow that mean I won’t be able finish events tomorrow not finished this evening, and I have no clue where I stand, and have time NOW to get the unknown number of points required to finish.
There are at least 3 that I now have time to do, but can not.
Please can you explain what you mean by “working as intended” 🤔🤔 is that with the pink squares appearing every day 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Just watched my ship sitting mining go from mining to destroyed with no enemy ship appear, no "under attack" banner. Just destroyed.
*cloaking
This game has got worse, more to do just to keep up with all the normal farming hostiles and mining chores, now as usual more bugs and instability, between all that and pitiful customer service. I done with this 💩.
Let me guess, there is an anti lag pack in the store only £89.99 🙄
"Hello Scopely customer service...I would like to report that the game did not give me the rewards for the event.
Customer Service: Can you send us a screen shot
Me: of what? The fact that the game says I didn't finish it
Customer Service: since you can't send us a screen shot, we cannot help you.
Me: 💩
No cloaked. No ship ever appeared in system I was watching the ship.
Report to CS
Why don’t We recive crystall point? 🤬
It is Friday the 13th after all
For every half hour the game is not working as intended we‘ll get a ops upgrade for free. 😁
Ok, no points in all the events 😧💩
Ahhh Scopley: Frakking up literally every single update for the last 4 years. "Working as intended." Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, but these MF's.....🤣🤣
Jason is roaming around in California, you say? 😛
Let's see now ..... 8 hours of grinding a day just to finish the dailies and events... "We're improving player Quality of Life".... right....
In case you haven't thought it lately... Scopely's support sucks!
@tacit obsidian @royal solar so question need an answer to once the timer is ran down on the fleet commander do you have to remove them and re-equip them to have them active and working?
While you're playing around with servers, this is the perfect opportunity to rebalance ships and fix the unbalanced pvp. You were able to add t9 to unc level 26 ships without anyone realizing it. You can fix these ussues.
@royal solar @tacit obsidian @north perch @twilit mango Most of us realize that there are things that are outside the control of Scopely, we really do. But it seems like every ARC is something, and most of the time it's something that seems like it could have been easily avoided with better planning and/or testing prior to release. Moreover, while new content is great, and clearly provides Scopely a new revenue stream, it does not fix the many "known issues" that seem to get constantly pushed aside yet are increasingly making STFC unplayable. Every time F2P and Light Spenders think we are getting a little consideration, you roll out more "pay to play" events and more packs, packs, packs! Even if today's event scoring/lag issues are the "fault" of a 3rd party, it would be much easier for us to be understanding if all of the aforementioned wasn't a constant refrain. Thank you.
my event scoring is starting to work
scopely also gets what they pay for obviously. and the money is not flowing to a good infrastructure, excellent mission design, UI design, ship design, PVP balance or anything silly like that
they turned off the scoring banner 😂😂😂😂😂 good to know if it suites them they can turn it off
Let's see... turning back the clock 4 years to the beta launch when literally nothing worked...and before Jokely made any real money onnthe game... I wonder how much of the initial coding was done by the talent they could afford and whether they're still paying the price for a cheap foundation.....
....and expecting my silencing channel-ban any minute now...
Daily Goals points still show zero after a good long wait. Great Job....
dailies are also affected by scoring lag.. #⭐-official-announcements i just scored on something that i did 30 minutes ago
the entire stfc player community needs to stop giving scopley money for a broken game for a month, and see if the get off their feet and actually fix the game complety. No money, for broken games seems like the best answer
Totally agree
It's been one full hour and I'm still missing the 8k battle points
so... theres an extra wrinkle on battle pass points... it appears that you get granted the pattle pass points by completing the event, and lets say that takes 30 minutes... once you get to that point... now you have to wait for the BP points to get inserted into the milestone event... 😦 HTH
P.S. current projections actually say that ther's likely a 45 minute lag for scoring.. and it could still be growing.. 😦
Scopely for the 50th time in 4 years: Nothing works because we contracted out all the basic game functions to a "data provider" and we don't actually have anything to do with our game, so it's not our fault".
Yeah it says completed. But the math doesn't add up. This is utterly ridiculous!
They better give us another month elite pass
I know highly unlikely since we are not really losing anything BUT TIME!
it is still their fault as they chose the data provider, and manage that relationship, and if they need something better, they have the choice to use a different data provider... and I dont think they are saying anything except they have identified the source of the lag and working to correct the current issue.
Still nothing about fixing Field Training either... when the response last month was 'oh, we'll fix it as part of the next story arc'. I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today...
@compact terrace I think that a serious lack of sandboxing their updates, along with actually responding to player QoL issues, speaks to a serious internal lack of integrity.
the game seems more fun since i first played it in 2020. i stopped playing it cuz it was really laggy and really spoiled about what internet it needed. (also went to rehab at 13-14yrs old) but i decided to play again and it seems better than it was with the exception of todays incident and the internet thingy is better but not fantastic.
That could be... and of course... possible database indexing issues are always possible too, but we will never know the details since we are the end user. (im assuming you meant "database referential integrity"). 🙂
I have an alliance on server 85. it has been an alliance for two weeks. It does not show up on the alliance power board and it still thinks I am in the alliance I left. Please fix the problem as others just might want to join or like to know the real standings on the server.
Scopley is trying to update their Commodore 64 s. As soon as possible
PLUG THE LEAKS
Pretty Sad that no Event today is working how did this get by the Beta Testers? 🤔🤔🤔
lol well to be honest it was working when the update happened then today it decided to die
“Hep”? Fire the intern.
FIX THIS POS!!!!!!!!
is it correct we need to deinstall the game before the lag is fixed? and scoring fixed because clearing the cache isn't working...
They need a repulser module on the ASB. When activated push all alliance ships on 0 nodes off of mines. They'd make a killing selling that currency.
Hardly how TheDude would actually respond to these issues.
lol
I would just like to say that having ridiculous high points needed (but pay for the officer and we’ll diminish your grind time) is akin to stores having a “sale” after they jacked up the price. Seriously, scopy, can you be anymore transparent in your fiberary?
If they don't name the beta testers ... we are the beta testers
cool deinstalling the game did the trick! 😁 scoring is working again
Well, if this keeps up, and no event is scoring, the least Scopely could do would be giving the rewards of every event to everyone
@tacit obsidian @twilit mango @royal solar
lol faxx no cap its true
Can some one explain why the jelly got research for borg and not the defiant considering the defiant was 1st made for the borge @tacit obsidian and it's a solo Armada ship this is star trek right should we have cannon if it's relevant!!
@short iron did that...then scoring stopped again..😮💨
Even my daily goals are not working now, I saved a few for the afternoon and now can't complete them
Same opinion as a few comments above, just give us credit for all the events we aren't going to be able to complete and call it even.
just checked with one from my alliance.
Completed battle pass event 2.5 hours ago. Points just got updated now
All 12 chests of 3* refines and not a single uncommon. That is just rude Scopley! RUDE! 😜
Did I miss the update about removing the 24-hour bonus chest for PC?
Game still half broken for you? Are you bored? May be a good idea to review and possibly opt out of this shady-ness....
Already sick of grinding Borg. I thought the announcement said Scopely was going to REDUCE the amount of grinding.
Name does not check out
My guess is because it has its own solo armada research tree. It is effective in the borg solos. I used it and won.
still on mine
Scopely that gift better a huge chest since I cannot claim my daily rewards now. 🤬
Read the log not really it dose the same as any other ship .. 400k vs and with research doing 50mil
I did read the log. Check if you have all your solo research done
Will I ever get the stuff from refineries? I did pulls and it didn't show up in inventory
Wait you can play on pc
@tacit obsidian @royal solar .. while we are taking about the database, why not create a trade in to cleanup inventory. There are a lot of old tokens that many of us have.. tokens from original Borg event.. the Picard token.. the Riker token .. the list goes on. If the inventory database were smaller it should help the problem. Create a conversation program to clean it up. Thank you for keeping us updated.
They’ll take the feedback on board and cash cow it like every other suggestion we’ve provided .. maybe we will have some trade mechanism in the future .. but at Syndicate lv 40 🙈💩
The Defiant is a Federation ship, it is buffed by doing the Federation ship research. The Jelly is NOT a faction ship.
It would clean up the inventory, but a few numbers being stored is i significant to lag
I thought the defiant did not get fed bonuses ...
When the lag is caused by constant and overloading data requests, a significant portion of which is tied to inventory item tracking for things no longer used, yeah, a cleanup can have a significant effect.
The defiant does NOT get the fed bonus
I ran one before research and ran 1 after. The defiant was uneffected. Accoeding to the logs. My other ships did show a major diff.
True! I did the same
I do still not close to the other so jo that doesn't help
The thing is your automatically opted in so what if they sold your data before you opted out 😬 thats what came across my mine when they first added the option and i opted out
scopely will prolly offer a skin for the defiant that'll cost $$$ so it can do damage against borg.
I thought we were going to get less grinding #stopthegrind
Good point, guess it is what it is in that case
Hey @tacit obsidian wanted to take the opportunity to say thanks for the good "live" informing today!!
@tacit obsidian can you offer a slight quality of life improvement to this game namely:
the ability of turning off armada notifications, it gets very annoying to have to swipe away armada notifications all day every day from my phone
It’s a Federation ship the way the Vi’dar is a Romulan ship. In looks only. I don’t think it has the Federation tag. I think it is a neutral ship like the Jelly
Ty for the Hugh chest!
Thank you for the gift chest, it is appreciated!
why can't so many low level systems be modified to intro new contents ??? instead of adding new systems....??? is that too much of work for coders?
Dailies are not working, can’t collect Klingon kill dailies 😐
I have not gotten battlepass points from upgrading a gun 9 hours ago. Are we going to be given todays battlepass ?
Any progress by Scopely Devs on the Field Training for Ships - specifically the Orion that is preventing player from completing? This has Officer shards awarded needed that I have been not been able to receive for over three weeks.
Too many lvl locks in the FC skill trees.
Uncomplicate, please.
All it is is a research tree with a ton of extra hoops to jump through before hand. It’s not even actually new or unique perks.
It's the biggest example of power creep so far, or G6 is well and truly coming. G5 was woefully unbalanced, so let's not be surprised if they break the game with G6 😆
The Bajoran faction favours were great. FC's not so much.
wtf is this server
One for the mobile game app Star Trek Fleet Command.
@tacit obsidian not happy about adding items that lock in a choice between two skills. Why not let us switch? Why not let us unlock both? Needs change, and we need to adapt.
I saw somewhere that the ability to swap between them is coming in a future update
Someone copied the helpshift
Issue with game not letting you attack unless you keep rebooting.
Not sure if it is just me, but been grinding Capital heavies for weeks. Since the update the rewards have severely reduced, not even getting prints on 40ish chests. -- Anyone else noticing this as well?
I dont get the quantum key thing.
The top of the screen has to indicators for quatum key 2 and 4.
In my inventory there are quantum key 2 and 3.
My main tree is Explorer, does that mean that i only need quantum key 1 and 4 and 2 and 3 can be used on the others?
Why does the game dictate where i have to spend my quantum keys, and why is there so much useless information in the currency fields top right everywhere.
The whole 4-5 currency design is so stupid
Bring back scout messages in the faction store screen.
these screens always show the currencies based on order of appearance of the buy options, it seems the entire first column, leader, get the priority so you see the key 2 and key 4 of that column and not the other stuff needed in the other columns
Edit: columns, not rows 😅
which absolutely makes no sense, because on the skill overview screen, it has the XP of hunter showing
that's a different kind of screen, with a different purpose
@tacit obsidian <@&509690795536941056> are we going to get any communications about balancing for borg probes? None of the community are happy about now having to spend an HOUR every day farming probes just so we can get 1 armada start, as well as get our essential independent credits.
Exo's need to last longer. Probes need to drop more loot (or add bigger probes, like jems. This is 2 year old content which has been adapted poorly. Road map promised to reduce our churn, first release has actually made our daily list of things to do take an extra hour.
Hello McFly, this was supposed to be fixed based on the choice of words given in an update. Or did they have an ADHD moment?
Wrong server
Question, if everyone has the same points. How can they be ranked? They should share the 1st place reward no?
No
Yes they should. There is no clear definition of how they are ranked when tied… Many times ive scored equal number and went above the previous person knocking them down. If the event is point based then it shouldn’t be based on how fast someone got to the point first
Agreed!!! Doesn't seem fair
Please bring back the tab that shows how much help you have received. It isn’t there after the last update.
@tacit obsidian @royal solar please….. pleaaaaaase! Add more Borg systems asap. It’s nearly impossible to get the probes events done, as amount of systems stayed the same (as did the lvl of probes) but a lot more people have to go there to get the events done. That should be done asap, to address the issue right now and also long term, as we are bound to do more probes frequently due to new content.
I think the requirements for the current Borg daily is too high, particularly considering that we weren’t given additional transwarp tokens. At level 25 with a t4 Vi’dar I’m not sniffing 94k probes in two trips. At best I’m getting 20k per trip in a lower level system and that’s with a pretty good officer setup and the 80% exocomp buff for interceptors.
How the heck do we not have an SMS with this "xslb"?
Please make a change to the permanent skill tree choices, I want to chose a different one, thx.
- I was looking forward to Eco's announcement for less grinding. In case of Borg this went totally other way.
Instead of refining 500k/day we need to refine 1M/day and we got 125% loot boost which can be pulled every 2nd day. Without calculation this is clearly more grind not less. - The only thing needed to reduce grind is to significantly reduce cost in stores/refineries. Output is limited by cooldown so cost only defines grind requirement. Solutions is simple and applicable to everything.
- XLSB is now 2 server, 3 levels range, and no reasonable SMS to follow. Few months ago SLB were 2 level range on 1 server. This means you have made top rewards pool 3x times smaller. It means that either top rewards are 3x more expensive or there is 3x less players. Both are bad I would say.
- On a positive note I like the events and Admiral feature.
It seems the more content that is add the more problems that occur. The game is slower, features stop working and more glitches appear.
We need a search bar for officers when crewing…. Soooooo many people!!
This is just lazy. You have ship portraits in the game for doomsday worms...
Yep the amount needed for one box pulls for armada's is nuts used to get credit for faction now can't do to cost way way to high I did one refine pull and could not even get an Armada ... And I don't have the prime so that means 2 runs just to get the armadas come one people @tacit obsidian this way poorly thought though
So I'm watching a level 44 player, who's obviously spent thousands to get the current meta crew and fully tier up his 4* vessels, attack one of our low level player's bases with a pittance of RSS. The player has been sitting there with his three vessels surrounding the base for hours hitting it once in the blue moon most likely praying for a little PD. Not the first time with this player either. He's going to be bored. That's the problem with procedural PvP and a completely imbalanced combat system. We're smart enough not to waste our time to give a credit card phone jockey a thrill and obviously the player isn't willing to do the same thing against an alliance where it might be a fair fight. This game is a complete waste of time if you're looking for authentic PVP. 😂😂😂
#swarm what is up with the swarm spawn rate being drastically reduced in the last month? There are half as many swarm hostiles as there used to be.
Throw some higher lvl borg hostiles into the solo systems....I need to get home to repair quicker.
The spawn quicker based on system population and destruction rate. No one's in swarm, they're all in borg space.
Where and how do we start the new missions?
Check your holo deck after bp lvl 6
Oh hello lag! Welcome back! It only took you 24hrs or so to return
<@&509691205798592532> Don't know what is going on but my game is tweaking pretty bad. Not lagging but more like I have Infinite Combinations in Infinite Diversity going on. Everything on my screen is duplicating itself exponentially.
Tribbles?!?
👀
New Calgary has a bug. As soon as I relocated, it all stopped. I'm on server 56.
Wild. Thanks for letting us know. What server?
Feedback: On the whole I am loving all the newest stuff but….
You gave us new stuff to “reduce the grind” but, for borg, doubled the daily required inert probes….
The new exo gives, in real terms for me, 50% more loot, when I get Ghalenar I expect that wont make much more difference.
I was comfortably grinding 500k inert probes a day, now I need to mine 1million and still its not enough really.
Which means two things.
Firstly, Im having to grind more than before as the exo only adds half of the extra loot I need.
Secondly, inert probes are so in demand that pirating has increased so Im more likely to get hit.
All in all. the grind has INCREASED
@surreal condor Confirmed it again as I had to return for another mission. Here's an image of what it looks like. Tried all the left side station hubs.
I know you've played a long while, so I am assuming you tried the usual cleaning cache/local, etc.
There's a long-standing issue with that system, but I am always curious about the triggers and circumstances.
My third anniversary with STFC is Monday. I usually do a complete uninstall, wipe and clean install on that day, but yes I went ahead and did it along with all the usual suspects. Nothing changed. As far as triggers go, I just showed up.
I'll pass the extra details along in case it helps them figure it out faster. The recommendation for now is not to live there, which isn't ideal obviously.
Thank you!
@tacit obsidian you guys have now made the borg grind the worst.
Before max vidar I get 450 a run and only needed to open one box to get faction stuff. now I can't get those do to the solo armadas cost. unless u spend $$ for the prime u just shot the reason for the vidar loop and now. I have to do 2 runs a day just to get a solo Armada. I went from the 1 run every 4 days to 2 a day. happened to make less grind. the exocomps don't help they only last for 15 mins in borge space as it takes time to fly there so that one run ... And we still only get 2 traswarps a day. So rather thin making this more enjoyable and faster u add to my gird time big time. and the new officer not going to help still have lots of faction to grind, borge dubble run, Franklin, jemadar, stell, and what ever for the events come on. We need to reduce how much of this is needed not add you just keep added not to mention solo armadas mantis and now borge solos. Just to get advance
Tpring gas mining ability boost no longer works for mining gas mines when captain.
Please fix.
Incursion match up involving 83 is habitually mismatched. We were matched properly vs 84, then it was changed to 71, a blatant mismatch as bad as the last 3 in a row which were 75,64,78. Is scopely trying to get all of us to quit?
Why do you consider them mismatched?
Strength of fleets. We literally couldn't even SCRATCH the hulls of anyone from 64. The scoring went stupid lopsided to where most of us just shielded and took the weekend off. And the players just quit outright.
Strength in terms of active players vs inactive seat holders or power / ship strength or both?
All of the metrics . In every possible calculation. It was a tricycle vs a freight train each and every time the last 3 in a row and going on number 4 in a row.
Ok, thank you for clarifying. I will pass this to the team to see if they can review how they match.
It’s not anything new either. Been repeated reports of servers that haven’t even been allowed to have an ascension event yet going up against servers with multiple ops 60s.
Our first 2 matches were 80 and 81, which were peers and which were fun. Then it was 75, which was toxic. 64 which was so badly mismatched the 64 players had no fun either. Then 78, whereupon three of our biggest players all quit.
Definitely doesn't sound fun.
Now with 82 and 83 merged, we were hoping for a good match up. Seeing the XSLB changed from including 84 and us to 71 and us, basically made some of us consider quitting some more. Going against an opponent that on average is 10x the power you are every time with zero chance of getting a decent reward and certainty of losing a trainload of resources and opportunities to grow... let's just say we are not happy as in at all about this condition.
Why the heck are we doing XSLB’s when incursions aren’t going on and haven’t happened in a while successfully either. Pretty stupid scopely.
Xslbs were started with 2x rewards, deeper leaderboards due to having more players. Those have been removed and back to 1x leaderboard for 2x the players. Just greedy
any confirmation that hugh works on armadas? its pretty misleading currently in the text
Hugh's Below Deck Ability: Hugh has 45% chance to increase Critical Hit Chance by 25% for 2 rounds after being hit by a Hostile. (This ability can stack) (Weapons with multiple shots will only trigger this ability once per attack).
"after being hit by a Hostile." An Armada is not a Hostile.
Yes this is the case, I won the first XSLB it was enough Picard and Bev shards for 2 levels and paid out to 150 now we have this trash - shame on Scopley.
Suggestion to make borg grinding less grindy. Remove need for trans warp cells when vidar T9 (or remove it anyway, does it actually serve a purpose?). Give out a decent exo that both significantly increases cargo and mining rate. So one run gets at least a million probes in less than 10mins. People then can do a reasonable session a week, or choose to a couple of mega sessions a month and that covers them. Need to provide more flexibility as to when people can choose to stock up.
Got screenshots?
No I will try to get tomorrow
@tacit obsidian @royal solar can you explain the choice to make the spend event an XSLB? Can you also assure us that the person who made that decision will be fired?
Do you wish to rephrase that last question to be more constructive?
Try suggesting they be moved to the mail room😂
@fallen epoch hi mate, anybody know when shield prime research pack will come back?or maybe you can ask someone, support ignoring me.🤣 Prime Enhanced Shield buffers
Erm which one was that
This
No, not particularly. XSLB's should be for incursions, not BP spend events. Now I have to compete against whales of two servers instead of one, making it even more difficult to get new officers to make the game less grindy. It's a slap in the face to players to do this to us after telling us how the goal of 2023 was to make our lives easier. Scopely should be less obvious when they're making cash grabs on their players. Especially after the lagfest of this week. It's a (censored) move and they should know about it.
Now you see how much better that was 😉🖖
Those first 2 lines say a lot more.
Sorry not sure about that one 🖖
How I word my question doesn't change the fact that it was a bad move to make it an XSLB. It should be change to an SLB.
the game has got worse since the new update, its now not playable
I would like to add to @wraith solstice about lack of sms spender events in the arc/month. All periodical events like dailes or weekly are meant to encourage "growth" by spending, advancement by consuming rss is demanding, usually requires money, time, planning or grinding with, usually, decent rewards. Xslb does not align with that mechanic and working just for few players and putting off majority. On two servers.
loading often freezes between 76-96%....if i can log in collecting gifts takes 3-7 minutes other wise it just times out with connection issue...can not do a locate on my ships without a time out or connection problem....can not get into other systems.....always have the red wifi icon up now even with 110MB download speed....everything takes 3-10 mins to do anything where before it was just seconds
Hello. What about the orion research training quest? Is it solved now ?
The game ist getting worse and worse. I was kind of optimistic as they've announced in the roadmap update that the ever increasing amount of time the game takes to compete is going to be andressed. But what is the first action Scopely took in the New Year: Introduce more grinding and obstruct people from gaining independent credits by means of the borg refinery! Its just plain stupid to demand from players in the 40s and 50s to grind 33 probes and then in such a high quantity! Game isn't any fun anymore
game isnt any fun now when it take 3-7 mins to try and open any gifts, otherwise i get a time out or connect issue let alone other issues
Yeah, but that is scopy greedy and clueless on what the real value of their product is 🙄
The choice is pure greed and an absolute disassociated understanding of the value of money, their products value, or really and value at all. They are about greed and using the human condition to try and hook folks. Most games today are like this, but scopy takes it to a new level. I feel bad enough going against my severs whales, I feel worse for the other server though. Just cheep and greedy.
And to be honest, the game now leans towards stagnation of progression outside of LBs. I do not make any upgrades to ships that use UC or Rare, I do not do any researches that take UC or rare, I don't upgrade any modules on my station that take UC or rare. I save them ALL for LBs, because that's the only way to win the LB. It's a mechanic that needs to be removed from the game, imo. Make it similar to how Gul'Dukat and Weyoun were earned, through difficult SMS, but SMS's that had a definitive end to them so the player doesn't have to constantly hoard their mats for 1 event. Periodic (even off BP) spend events are better than what we've got now.
can we get the borg armada event fixed for ops 45's
Burned nearly 4,8M points…and I may get 5 Shards 😬 I’m frustrated and I badly had to Tier and research stuff 🙈
XSLBs don’t work well if Ranks are not opened up till Rank 100 at least and shard count are raised.
Thought we learned from Dukat…pure cash is not good and With Wayoun SLB/SMS is Good we just need to adjust the sms goal? 😄
Which went more or less good with Dax 😄
Probably didn't meet cash goals for Dax
@tacit obsidian @royal solar when this pack will be available again?
@royal solar I have a suggestion. On the new Borg Solo armada chests in the refinery, would it be possible to put the eyeball icon on the chest so we can look inside while we are waiting for the timer to count down? Similar to the way they are in the Bajoran armada chests.
Like Bajoran favors the Fleet Commander buffs are significant and have a different mechanic to progress. Great fix for the Actian grind with systems working and the additional Apex targets. Given the roadmap item about reducing the grind, was disappointed to not see additional and higher level borg probe target systems.
The frustration, in the absurdly crowded 4 lvl 33 borg probe systems, is to the point where the FC progression is not worth dealing with the over crowded systems. Worse is you just killed the daily nano probe refine for faction & independent credits. Missed opportunity that could have really made the FC launch a massive positive
We have a material spend event that is XSLB only, for officers that just are not great. This arc starts by offering more grind than ever on top of month after month of new reasons to spend.
For me, enough is enough, no more money for this game until the quality of life of daily grind is sorted out, only if we as a player base stop spending will Scopely listen, otherwise we’ll get meaningless messages about how 3rd party providers mess up, or how they are listening (they’re not!) hit them in the balance sheet, then we’ll be listened to!
<@&509690795536941056> adding a new feature with a one and done choice, but not telling us anywhere that it is a one and done, is BS. I had enough to unlock warp, but not impulse, so I did it, figuring I'd do the impulse later. If I'd known it was either/or, I never would've chosen warp. I have 87 things to increase warp speed, not to mention a maxed Disco and 2m+ cultivated shrooms to summon with. IDC about warp speed. Impulse is actually important to daily play. The support agent decided to immediately close the 'conversation' so now I can't even go back to it, but I don't buy for a second that they can't roll it back for us, and they should because the devs failed us on this. They can give us a warning that an attack will drop our shield, but not on a permanent choice on a brand new feature? BS. This is the kind of thing that adds up and makes people quit.
Taken from the helpshift on FC’s
On top of that, after the roadmap saying the goal is to decrease the grind, the first arc of 2023 makes the grind much worse. They basically triple the Borg grind, but we still only have level 33s? A whole new Borg Arc with more grind and no bigger hostiles? 🙄 Besides dailies, I'm supposed mine ISO (I don't), grind Borg, Actian, Dominion and Exchange, do Dominion and Borg solo, Cardassian, FKR, and Exchange armadas, mine 3 different 4* and 5* mats, grind for 4 different 4* and 5* parts, and mine/raid/earn enough RSSs to keep upgrading. Or just drop thousands of dollars, which is what you'd prefer, but in the current economy, that ship has docked. Even with the Amalgam, raiding still takes hours. It took us 12+ to clear the base of one of ours who quit. You've made this game impossible to keep up with every day.
That's great, so in 3 years they'll fix it. It doesn't invalidate the point that they should've put a warning on it in the game before launch. I wouldn't have wasted a single point on the warp tree had I known. They did the same thing with the barrage research. There are 3, but you can only do 2 of them, and nowhere in the game is that explained. I didn't know until I asked support where the 3rd one came from, and was told we only get 2.
There is a warning in game. Check top right
How many people actually look at an info button? Especially over level 50? They can give us pop ups that mining is dangerous, and that going to level 10 means PVP, and level 15 means our station can be attacked, and that attacking a player will drop our shield, but on this? 🙄
Why do I have to PVP against 24s?! I am 21! Is this a joke?
Get used to it. I've been battling 60s since 39
So is that correct?
The brackets get bigger at higher ops
Your brackets and the PvP range. The event brackets stay closer than the PvP range. At 52, I can attack 33 to 60. My event brackets sometimes stop at 53 and sometimes include 60
Yeah which imo sucks what can a 33 do to a fifty besides shield lol
57+ can one shot my station even with 100m of G4 ships defending. 🙄
Yeah I use low level realtas and fortunates to keep them busy
I would love to see a 3 chest option for the Armada packs in the Alliance store.
You’ve made it impossible to engage with any of the new content without paying…. And then increased grind for old content….Interest lost….
Can we, for the love of all that is holy, get more options for alliance diplomacy markers? There’s NO reason for it to be so limited. We’ve been asking for this for YEARS. How long does it take to code something that simple?
they are too busy implementing emojis on ships 💩
The game is just boring now. It feels more like a chore rather than something that's meant to be fun.
Too much screen time needed each day to try and keep up with all the different currencies and materials needed, too much grinding, ridiculously slow progress unless you spend a fortune on offensively overpriced packs (which I refuse to do).
The road map promised a reduction in grinding - so then why is the new arc no different to the rest? Its just the same repetative content released under a different name!
Come on Scopely, stop the greed and make the game fair/fun for everyone, not just those that pump cash into it.
I can honestly say the only reason I haven't quit is because I've put 3 years worth of time and effort in to just walk away now.
I've played for two years as of March and just about to get my enterprise I can now tell my lower level fellows it takes nearly 7-9months of grinding less if your not dumb like me and went past my 30 million reputation and now have to mine 4* gas 😩 sooo dumb
It’s back
On my way! Thank mate
Ifrea-3 having fast, 30,000 Corrupted Data nodes when? There's no reason for active mining refreshing a node every 12 seconds to still be a thing at this point in the game. It adds nothing and everyone hates it.
There are 60k nodes in Ilmatar 😄 just next door, smaller bigger nodes in other systems. Think 40k is next 😄 *smaller by warp req
That's all Decoded Data not Corrupted Data. The nearest Corrupted Data nodes that aren't the same thing are 4k in Ko Na Ron that mine a 1/25 of the speed of Ifrea-3.
Oh, I’m sorry 🙈 matched it wrong in my head 🖖
I know this section is really just a venting ground and nothing will get actioned but...
This banner covers the title of the event and if you're doing actions that score in multiple it can take quite a while for it to go away. Poor UI layout.
(I also miss the ability to click the banner and jump directly to the event. Why was that removed?)
not everyone has an hour a day to hunt borg for 1 million refine. PLEASE add a research to increase borg loot. or add 35+ systems. the consumables are a poor bandaid
And an hour a day for actians. And an hour a day for swarm. And an hour a day for faction hostiles. And and and and.
There are only two "grinds" this game has done right, in my opinion.
- Amalgam.
- Discovery.
And the shared factor is that they can be done for an hour and then left alone for a week. Lets us have some variety.
New vidar exocomp did absolutely no good. Not a game changer one bit! A mill probes a day for doing an event. Too much time is being wasted! Just because Scopely works an 8 hour day players to the game should not have to also!
When will the dreams of nightmares and be not afraid of greatness be available
If only there were a bigger vidar. One that hit bigger probes. One that would extend into dark space, and continue the grind. Daillies that would get quicker due to this new ship.
Filled my cargo in 8 minutes. Max vidar
"Welcome to Ops 35. You can now get the Franklin-A! Which is great 'cos the normal Franklin is now useless! Oh, sadly, the A won't surpass the normal one in power until Ops 39. Enjoy the new dailies!!!"
@tacit obsidian @royal solar This is ridiculous, 402 days?
Only 16 days when you use your 24 day speed ups from the disco refinery
This game doesn't have the depth or quality of game play to justify the amount of interaction it requires now. I play MMO's it's one of my favorite game types and spending hours upon hours grinding away isn't anything new to me. Everything in this is so convoluted. Everything gets a special currency or three now.
Fix the damn lag for god sake! How is it this long and it's still this laggy
Switch Borg solo directives from charged to inert nanoprobes.
'Refine X to refine Y from the output' is a cheap game mechanic.
knowing them they will put a price of 750.000 inert nanoprobes, we have to be more specific with suggestions 😅
what they can do if they want to reduce the grind is
- get rid of the transwarp cell locks on hostile farming system (not only borg, also actian)
- change the active nanoprobe chests costs to 100.000 for 1 (same as now), 200.000 for 2, 400.000 for 4 (we need four chests to buy both directives and the same amount of credit we could buy before this update)
- other stuff costs stays the same, including directives
Edit: i pressed enter before finishing 🤦
Make 5 of 11 sourcing through borg available to ops < 40.
What is Storage Space?
That row with storage space upgrades on Spock might as well be removed completely. It does nothing for 99% of players. I chose Dilithium storage for the hell of it. Now my storage is something like 5 million. I'm currently holding almost 1 billion Dilithium. Not to mention the other two material storages. Most people will be way above that storage. What's the point of this? Storage is obviously unlimited. Remove that and change buffs covering it to apply to protected storage, which actually does something.
I mean, buffs to storage is just another way of giving us nothing. Doesn't feel good.
@MoeDead#7864 247 days, need more researches.
That is the scopy way
If as @tacit obsidian says, the new officers will help reduce grind, why are they sourceable to so few players as an XSLB event with no accompanying SMS? QOL improvements should be available to all. Sourcing them in epic armada loot that 39- ops do not have access to is not the solution.
That’s only ~120K in latinum.
this arc has been terrible, literally one of the worst so far. Weak content, somehow even more blatant cash grabs than usual, and yet more content that requires even more grinding. When will it end? It's getting to the point where you need to play 8+ hours a day if you want to do everything required for advancement. No original ideas (aside from Fleet Commanders), just more hostiles, more armadas, more time consuming activities that entirely go against your initial roadmap promise of "reduced playtime" < this seems like a bad joke when you look at the game now 😂
Agreed, and I actually like the concept of fleet commanders and that it brings in some strategy or choice around how you upgrade officers. Shame it’s not a part of other officers or even the ability to create different ship configurations.
The Borg side is a complete fail from a grind perspective, made worse by unnecessarily linking completion back the actual new and better mechanic launched.
I just wish they would also reduce unnecessarily convoluted actions, this type of complexity doesn’t make the game more interesting.
Again, lag! ☹️
@north perch Really funny with the Diodes.... ha ha ha 👎
So when comes ANY mission for what we can use it?
Still missing the 40+ Mission which is still gone....
I maintain that an xlb is a slap in the face to every player.
Yep I was coming here for this exact thing, got the diodes but nothing in the holodeck
I would also like to point out that the xlb stated that you scored by using G3 or above materials. I bought a prime using G6 and scored 0 points.
Oh come on now, give me one example of a "content" that's come out this month!
Is it just me or is the event braket changed? I am seeing ops 43 players in my bracket and I am ops 39.... I have been saving mats for months for this event and to see I will have to save for moths more just so I can compete with big spenders is more than a little frustrating
The Jellyfish pursuit event still hasn't appeared for players on server 88. Wondering when/if there will be a fix.
gahlenar recruiting event and you get one! gahlenar shard... thats funny...
Might I suggest Faster spawns on Eclipse Hostiles? These events are taking forever with everyone fighting over the same reds
what ops do you need to be for it
Ops 39 for the Jelly Persuit.
Op 36+ for the jelly auction. Op 39+ for the jelly in territory store
Feedback from the Scopley team humbly requested.
Has the event bracket for the Jellyfish Persuit event changed?
Please and thank you.
Its never been bracketed as far as I know, the only qualifier was if you were Ops 36+ and didn't have a Jellyfish, I won mine against Ops 40 guys when I was 36. Can't build the ship until Ops 39 so its a bit of a tease to get it 3 levels early, then again I went from 36 to 39 during that event lol
Add an impulse speed exo!
Ops 36 to participate in the pursuit event.
Server likely doesn’t meet the requirements yet
G6 doesn’t count, just like g5 didn’t count until they launched g5 systems. This is how they’ve always done it.
Then don't say G3 and above. Last time I checked 6 is above 3.
The scoring box doesn’t show G6. I understand what you’re saying, but they don’t hide the fact that G6 doesn’t score
And it shouldn't if you can't refine for the junk.
Assimilated! No Your Assimilated!
Lets play some Star Trek Fleet Command!
Live On Twitch! Lets have some fun, some laughs, and learn about the game! @everyone

Get rid of all the doomsday stuff
Please fix Field Training -Ships with Orion. This is taking way too long when you fixed the Realta issue in a few days.
You can grind out orion bps and build another, that has worked for people
Whats with the power drop across the board since the new arc?? Also where is this chest I keep hearing about, never showed up for me, nothing, nada, zip.
I am not laughing ... I just feel as bad and there are so many "gotcha " scopely put in and change
Can't do the research again. They need to fix manually
For the love of God and all that is holy, please remove the actian buff RNG. Please have a set number of each buff in the system active at all times
The silence from Scopely in this chat is deafening. So many complaints and suggestions, yet they can't even be bothered to acknowledge any of it. Disgusting.
As Long as people keep spending they aren’t going to do anything
Exactly, unfortunately to many people that think spending on everything is gaming when in truth playing the game working and grinding your way up is playing the game …. And the big spenders complaining they bored well your bored for you bought your way up instead of playing they game grinding your way up. As long as y’all go and say her scopley take my money I gotta have everything scopley we’ll just go and say thank you here ya go we ain’t going change nothing but Jack our prices up moohahaha
Yes! I'm appalled at the lack of communication about the worst problem in the history of the game. It's next to unplayable and all we get is silence.
Should it be called a recruit event for 1 shard, 2.6% of what you need to unlock?
$$ will get you gal an unlock. To put things in perspective, borg officers are usually far superior. Look at 5, 6 of 11. Meta for most things. Extremely hard to source. Borg miners are incredible. Hugh and gal are very useful. They're not just gonna be given out as charity.
Just had an update in the store. What's it break... I mean fix now?
Anyone else issues with Fleet Commanders having a 30s timer?
No you were right with break.
I waited a while before before writing this, to be sure. I just hate what you have done with strike team. Everybody that has it plays that team in PVP and almost none other. There is just no alternative, no subtlety no optimized crewing : just play the strike team. This has created a great unbalance between those that have it and those that don't and it pretty much kills the fun out of PvP. It is just a bad development imho.
So Scopley in my fleet of 72 a lot of our spenders are talking about quitting. They are tired of the fast pace of added content that just. They are tired of the bugs. They are tired of the grind. They are tired of multiple new currency’s added each update. They absolutely hate the XSLB. They hate the broken promises on limiting new currency and lowering the grind. These are people who spend money, time to wake up.
So Fleet Commanders now can be swapped out with no cool down? Great, thanks for ANNOUNCING THAT Scopley!!! @tacit obsidian @royal solar this change things on the fly with no notice or announcements is getting really old guys.
So why does my FC spock only lasts 30 seconds then stops, do it again same thing. Cleared cache etc. Same nonsense. I guess they cannot not mess up something everytime they mess with the code.
The Command Center (3) officers only stay active for 30 seconds now...Broken
Scopley, I asked for feedback on scoring brakes and possible changes to them. Is this not the feedback channel cause if so I may have some feedback about your lack of feedback.
Scopely does keep adding new content. Is it really time for old content to get an update. Your grinding 46 hostiles ships, you getting level 20/24 loot
Those are cube directives, can be useful during the borg mini-arcs.
those are the older ones, 1 directive x armada
ah, my bad then
Was bound to happen so the spenders could play with the shiny new Locutus they purchased
@tacit obsidian @royal solar for some reason my command centre will only allow me to have 30 seconds of use out of admiral Kirk, I’ve done all the reset stuff but as you can see from my ss command centre will only grant me 30 secs, is there some sort of bug at play here?
They are still active until you actually Remove them.
The timer is just a cooldown to prevent you swapping out too often.
This SLOWMODE is a load of 🏀🏈🏉🏐🎱⚽ btw!
Since the app-update the admiral abilities are reduced to 30 seconds 😡. WTF, not even time enough to click all windows closed and do anything thereafter 😡
on the new patch notes I see no mention on fixing the "can't scan/attack bases with too many drydocks" issue, is it still there? was already fixed and I missed the memo?
Still bugged it looks like
@tacit obsidian @royal solar extremely disappointed the last three "updates" did not fix one of the biggest issues pushing players away, unbalanced ships and out of balance pvp range.
I think it is safe to say you’re flogging a dead horse.
You keep ignoring the piles of people that point out that it’s a two way street; you’d take away just as much if not more than you gained.
When raiding is the only positive of a lower level hitting a big, it's not enough and the negatives far outweigh the positives
Brilliant update so now we have to reset the commander every 30 seconds
Not true.
Roadmap stated fix grinds...not balance pvp
Also not true:
It’s not “take him off every 30 seconds”, it’s “you can take him off after 30 seconds”
Not being able to adequately defend against a 300m ship isnt fun. Aside from raiding it is no longer competitive or fun. Recalling and sheilding instead of defending become the only option. 21 levels is too much for adequate and competitive pvp. Not to mention warp range can get in the way of raiding and retaliation. A 56-60 shouldn't be able to punch down more than 10-12 levels. Raiding isnt enough to justify ruining what was once competitive and fun.
Have you heard of the bold defense? Can I offer you a shield?
Have you considered being in a position where a 300m ship isn’t out to get you?
Just get bigger. Nevermind the fact that the people who are bigger than you are also getting bigger 🤷
I generally find not referring to the book of things people call whales is a good way to avoid being on their radar. Names like “wallet warrior”, statements like “you’d be nothing without your credit card”, things like that when you’re faced with a normal adversarial encounter in game tend to escalate things into a “always going to batter their ship” situation.
MMM Beer Battered Ship!!! *in my best Homer J Simpson voice....
Also “here comes Krap in the USS Visaprise” is a good way to antagonise 😂
You can't even really be mad about that
One of our server's larger... antagonists... has now labelled themselves "ApexAmexPredator".
I know, it’s got a faint whiff of victim blaming about it, and I am absolutely sure there is someone out there who is on the receiving end of a pasting from a bored billionaire with a D’Deridex; but my experience across a few servers now is it’s usually a dose of verbal, a bit of the green eyed monster and some unpleasant comments that kick things off to where they get to. Remember folks, different strokes for different folks; if someone wants to spend a couple of grand a day on a game, what odds is it? More money they spend, the longer people can play for free.
I'm usually more like.... Krap!!! i just recrewed wrong AGAIN!!!
Irrelevant point to my initial premise. We can throw fallacies at it all day long but it is out of balance and needs restructuring. It was not something taken into consideration 3 years ago when the ships were balanced at 39 being the highest level.
Today's 39...isn't a 3 yr ago 39 tho. In relation to new buildings, research and factions tech
Is there a problem with new assimilation mission? After completing pt1 the mission vanished from the list.
Agreed, today's 39 isn't even a speed bump to a level 60 though.
But still can beat snot out of people at the bottom of their PvP range…
I remember pre-ascension battering my Sally relentlessly into a Jelly.
Achieved just as little as throwing my Pilum into a Quv’Sompek now.
Well, it rinses my Trit faster
Through tremendous treasure a 60 can only hit down. It's a choice they made and comes at a cost of what they can do pve and event wise. I'd say there's more tools available in the means of pvp crews and specialized ships that can counter higher folks. Though I can't say it's worth that much effort to tangle with a 60.
A level 39 can put up a good fight angainst a level 42 and depending officers can cost a high repair bill to a level 46. Beyond that though, harmless.
But that’s not your argument. Your argument is that pre G4 is fine. Prey tell what an Ops 25 is going to do against a Jelly?
Thats not my argument either. My argument is a rebalance, my example was 56 down. I don't think a level 42 should be able to go lower than 34. Maxed epic can beat 42 unc till t6 or t7 depending on crew
Noooooo keep the 30 secs!
What the ... you don't reply within the hour to delete your account and they close the ticket?
If you set up a proper base defense, you can blow up those 300 mil ships
@tacit obsidian how about make it 4 hour change so it fits more into people play time of 8 hours on the comanders
I'd settle for 3 hrs...tho 30 mins would be a chefs kiss
No, today’s 39 is equivalent to about a 28 2 years ago, in relation to efficiency and effectiveness. Sure there was power added, all over the place.
Some general feedback on a few things:
-
The Actian mechanic is difficult. Why are there Actian hostiles that don’t buff…. And there needs to be more Apex hostiles and more Actian buff hostiles.
-
It seems as if the Field research is still broken.
-
We need some sort of way to take ship parts/resources/mats we don’t need and convert them into something we do need. 4* ships parts are not easily sourced i the amount that we need them.
I apologize if any of this has already been said
adding to that the amount of envoy etc. blueprints just sitting there XD It says that I can currently build 13 ships, and each of those 13 ship i can build somewhere between 1 and 3000 times.
How scopely responds to player sentiment:
Treasury banner that pisses literally everyone off: silence
Fleet commander cooldown unintentionally changed: promised sub-24hr fix. 🤦♂️
So, what actual benefit is this FC addition? I seemed to have mistakenly selected Kirk…I say mistakenly because I haven’t seen any notable differences.
Spock is generally better with higher CC level. Kirk is generally better out the box. It’s many minor research buff’s basically unless you max out then it stacks up
It's a 10th research tree basically.
😅
On the calendar image for the event schedule, there is a Recruit Hugh event on the 28-29th, but it is not listed in the event schedule text; only the 14-15th and 21-22nd are. The avatar event lists all 3 weekends though. Which is accurate?
Asking now
@tacit obsidian Since it’s obvious your not going to fix the field training glitch, why not just give us the rest of the stuff we can’t collect and if per chance you ever happen to stumble on the fix, call it a bonus for making us wait. Seriously tho, do something besides ignore the problem and the users please!
I love it USS VisaPrise lol
Can someone please explain to me the logic of having missions in warp 440+ systems, recommended for ops 57+, which give sanctus bps, when I needed the sanctus warp range to get there in the first place (and only ops 56) ... should't these really be epic bps?
why don't you need that rare blueprints of Kehra? you'd punch the air when Scopely will introduce Field training vol.2 
Why would they bother as they won't actually earn anything from it. Typical Scopely
More officer filtering please
scopley things lol
Ditching the xslb for an slb is good!
@royal solar thanks for ditching the xslb for an slb. Now how about some compensation for those of us who spent all our mats the first time around?
my thoughts exactly! I would've been 1st on my server instead of 3rd
I would have won an SLB. Instead 3 guys with the same name beat me and they don't play on my server. Time to own up to mistakes and compensate people properly. @royal solar @tacit obsidian
Listen, we appreciate you guys listening to us and making changes on the fly, but because the 1st month is best time to source new officers, the lack of consistency is getting insane. That's only addressing the recruit SLBs, not even considering everything else in game. We've had different iterations of scoring/SLBs/sms and we've only had maybe 1 or 2 weekends that turned out OK, after changes were made.
We do NOT need XSLBs. We have enough whales to compete with on our own servers for prizes, thanks.
I shouldve taken a SS but I was around 28M, blew a lot of rss
shouldve just waited...
We've ALL felt that pain.
It happens in every SLB too but that's the gamble
I have nothing to compete with on this upcoming weekend LB. I won't buy anything to get mats, that's ridiculous. I am owed 78 Hugh shards. I should not have had to compete with another server, only to be slapped in the face and told "Oh well you won't have to next time." Pony up.
You CHOSE to spend all those mats, knowing that you'd not be able to compete in the next one.
I'm no Scopely apologist as reading my posts here will prove but this is on you
I've won every spend event doing it that way since I started playing. This is the first XLB during a bp they've done. I chose to do it the way I always did it but the reason I lost was not mine, it was theirs for making it an XLB instead of an SLB.
Never go full xslb.
can we all agree Assaults are the best thing since sliced bread
do i have to pay to get rid of slow mo
@tacit obsidian I’m really frustrated by the SLB change, I plan my spending based on your published calendar. I ended up spending double competing against an aggressive server when I could have just done this SLB against my server. I was #1 while the other top players were all server 38. It’s not fair to people who plan their spending carefully. I have opened a ticket and am on server #42 SnackAttack359. I hope you can make this right. @royal solar I sent you a DM
This will sound insensitive but you made a choice to spend. No one forced you to do it, and you knew it was a XSLB. The same way I made a choice not to spend because the cost from it being a XSLB and 50 slots was not worth it in my eyes
If I knew I’d have an option for an SLB, I would have waited.
The problem is he thought he made an informed decision. And he did based on the info presented at the time. But then Scopely decides to change things which would have affected previous decisions had this change been known beforehand.
This is not much different from the bait and switch scheme used by con artist.
So you won and are demanding more just because it was a tough win?
Who's to say that the reason you were top in your server isn't because the rest of those who could have competed chose not to overspend in an XSLB?
Well we will never know because I wasn’t given that opportunity 🤣
its not a bait and switch because both events are independent
Bait and switch would have been if it started as an slb and once the scores were in they switched it to xslb
It is a bait and switch. People made plans based on the schedule provided, now they changed it after lots of people have spent in an xslb. Im sure a lot would have waited for the slb if given the choice up front. Now the people in the second event get the advantage of only needing to compete against one server and not two, which is made even easier after lots having overspend in an xslb they could have avoided if they had known slb was coming beforehand.
you don't understand the concept of bait and switch, and if you do or don't doesn't really matter.
Another patch update and no fix to Field Training - Ships? C’mon what crud? A simple fix.
Greetings Commanders 🪴
We wanted to bring a change of the event schedule to your attention. The XSLB on Saturday, Jan 21st is changing to an SLB. Rewards will be a full Epic Borg Hugh and a rare frame.
Best solution for all, SMS event - with leaderboard event -
How fixing the lag going? Will it be fixed in time for the next incursion?
You’re funny.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
why does the number of actian interceptors , and explorers with buffs decrease as you go into higher systems? Since they've become free everyone has one and are moving up into higher systems. I cant get buffs most of the time and when I do get 1 or max 2, all the interceptors are gone. Another frustrating grind to do everyday
If you want more interceptors to spawn and you're looking in the system: go to galaxy view, and then back into the system. It will auto spawn the missing interceptors (3 is max)
The reason why there are no exos is because people cherry pick the exos and only hit interceptors.
explorers with buffs need to be re-worked so that they can't be cherry picked like that. As has been a constant complaint, the number of hours required to do everything in the game is ridiculous. I have a bunch of specialty ships or factions that i'm ignoring cause I can't find the time. Adding hours waiting around for enough buffs to spawn because i've used my last warp token, is too much
a simple solution would be to have all explorers drop exocomps, also increasing duration on the exos would help
While more would have been nice from the patch, I commend Scopely for listening to the massive player outcry about the XSLBs on Hugh and changing it. Thank you for hearing us. The community hopes that you'll continue to respond to feedback of this nature.
I would humbly suggest that a lot of the player base would probably accept an arc delay or a content release delay in the name of focusing the dev team on bug squashing.
Nice to see the XSLB changed to SLB, shame it came after I already spent pretty much everything in the XSLB just gone though. Think I'll hold off spending till the last one of any future arc in case there any more changes. Wouldn't hurt to run an SMS for some Hugh shards though
i lost 1st place with 43 mil points. What should i say besides F scoplay and my spending is going down for this....
That amount of points would easily get me top 1 on the server but XSLB ..... can't say anything as it would be against the "community guidelines " ...
<@&509690795536941056> this is a mock up I put together that would switch the sourcing of Borg Solo directives to inert nanoprobes using the Active Nanoprobe chest as a model. This would eliminate the massive increase in grind and would decouple the Independent/Faction sourcing from the new content. This would also put Borg in a more similar fashion to the Bajoran loop, which was designed very thoughtfully and works really well
@tacit obsidian Changing the XSLB to an SLB was a nice move in response to server feedback. But it does leave those of us who planned our mat spending based on the calendar in the hole. I placed 9th on the XSLB but would have held out for this weekend if I had know it was a SLB allowing me to place better. Also is Scopely going to do anything for those of us who bought the Mantis early and realistically couldn’t use it for months because of the Apex issue? Or did they sell us a broken feature and it’s our problem to deal with? I’m sure a lot of us would like to know as it will change how or if we spend in the game.
They've forgotten about the mantis thing. Not enough people are still complaining about it. Adding the extra apex hostiles has essentially allowed them to sweep it under the rug. So the chances of any compensation at this point is slim
Unfortunately, you are right about that. Still think they should do the right thing and take care of the customer. But that maybe wishful thinking. People should be more mad about spending $100 on a feature and it not working for months.
At lvl 44, Borg armada milestones were at 3000 max, now at lvl 45, it became 15k? ... How in the su*king scopely hell can I finish that?
Kill 3 uc 45’s
The whole battle pass is a real imposition in terms of the events! The worst since I started playing the game. Paywall over paywall. Without spending money, most of the leaderboards are impossible. Only the amount of resources is good this time. Really lousy performance, scopely!
Ha ha ha , as if I didn't think of that
Then you need bigger ships. At 45 you should be killing 3 of them
Any news about this?
The little calendar is a rough idea of events, while the IGN is more of the rundown in terms of events running and their timeline. That being said, the ending of the calendar is not always set in stone as additional events can always be added. 😊
So, for now, don't count on an slb/xslb on the 28-29th?
Can someone please explain why it's necessary to be in a alliance to run a SOLO armada?
Cuz that requirement is kinda stupid.
Good question. It probably comes down to how solo armada circle UI works since it shows alliance tags
Not a good enough reason
It’s not a reason. It’s my opinion
@tacit obsidian the jellyfish pursuit needs an update more ranks and at least the top 10 should get a few prints say 1st full second is 1/3 3rd place 15% of an unlock and the other get 6 prints
Scopely put me out of the Fleet commanders - FC Champions IMS race by putting in a condition that I couldn't continue until Control Center was finished level 10, knowing that it was impossible to finish level 10 in the specified time. Once again, thanks for NOTHING!!
You are thinking of a different event, the IMS is a server wide collaborative event based solely on recruiting the fleet commanders.
Anyone's server hit all of the IMS milestones?? We always hit these things early...and we will NOT be getting this one done...
Doesn’t have anything to do with the IMS.
Heard a rumour to say 1 server has but nothing else
Ouch. That's brutal.
We did pretty quickly
Server?
69
Then I hope we meet in incursions cause there must be some juicy bases ripe for the picking lol
Pirates life
Wrong server
Yes?
This game is becoming less enjoyable by the day. I don’t know why I bother.
Bring Drydock H back to the store! Thank you, that is all
The game is not sending 0 node notifications
Can we get a patch to recognize if we've already done certain research or built or tiered up certain ships?
Be nice if support actually had a human and not a bot
It's the same mechanic tied to your armada control center, which can only be used in alliances
I still can't fathom some of Spock's skill tree choices. While limited to survey ships, Spock's protected cargo skill is in row 4, while Kirk's protected cargo skill for all ships is in row 2. It doesn't matter if Kirk's pc skill maxes at 75% and Spock's maxes at 125%, Kirk has one of the most valuable skills in row 1, and that's the impulse speed boost. Spock is supposed to be good for mining so putting the pc boost behind so many locks just makes the FC's even more unbalanced.
The argument that Spock is for higher levels is not an excuse either. All of them should be balanced between lower and higher-level benefits.
this is getting ridiculous
Yeah, that is gonna fail as well, requiring the server to purchase stuff means it was DOA lol
This has barley moved since Locutus dropped. If our whales ain’t gonna buy, the rest of sure as hell aren’t. You need to drop your extortionate prices by about 80% and you might actually make more money for you no cost to reproduce pixels 🙄
It's not "no cost". They have a development team, etc, to pay. I agree though, the prices could be dropped dramatically and they'd still make a ton of money.
Why I said “cost to reproduce”.
I think more would buy plus more would be happy too ... happy players = more money
Please fix this. Already completed a year ago. Been broken for over a month.
You really going to post that every day? Field Training was meant for low level players. There’s plenty more important things they should be fixing first.
Lag is off the chain this morning. Server 40. I’ve been booted out 3 times, systems won’t load to even place a miner, and now it’s been stuck at 35% on the initial screen despite reboots.
Is it pulled because of a bug with it? I'd heard there may be one, but I'm not sure if it's been resolved.
To be fair those Pike and Moreu shards are useful for all players.
The fact that Scopely have not bothered to add it to the fix list alongside all the other bugs that keep on getting flared up shows either contempt towards players or incompetent personnel. Reducing grind is my favourite roadmap announcement that kinda leads me to believe it's both.
Not sure if this has been reported before but these exocomps don't complete the exocomp daily task.
Borg Warp Range: What about adding 1 next level solo of each type to each system. For example, add one L52 uncommon to the L48 system. So you can choose to wait around for one to pop (similar to FRK armadas) or spend jump juice to extend g3 warp ranges.
Reducing grind is my favourite road map announcement too! Favourite to disbelieve 😂
if its the wrong channel, ill move it
Elon have any plans of buying scopely? Maybe it work start working right
Well with any luck he'd sack the useless devs
Where do I use these? it says Holodeck, but there are no missions there to use them.
Would it be possible to adjust the spawn rate of regular transports in Capital systems a little up. A lot of players cannot destroy heavies. So its especially during parabellum or cow a absurd hunt 10 or more players against a regular Transport...
at this point, I just wish we got more borg tokens per day to offset the extra probes we need. say... 4? and double the amount we are allowed to have at one time?
@ivory folio Just FYI, you can put PMT on your ship (heavies are kinetic) and go blow yourself up on a heavy and complete that event. You don't have to beat the heavy
2x now you are cross posting. Pick 1 channel and post. For this #👾-bug-reporting is best
Killing roms in Timore with both an intrepid and bortas worked for me.
I can't imagine they'd be dumb enough to genuinely announce they're reducing grind then doubling the nanoprobe grind. It must be incompetence. They simply have no idea how their game works anymore, if they ever did. "Hey we'll give people a third chest, that'll reduce grind!" 
Take away the ability to summon a ship that has been stung. It was stung, it needs to blow up next.
When are we getting the extra drydock? when it came out I wasn't ops35
Whenever they put it back on.
I believe it was pulled out due to the 8 drydock bug right? which is why incursions got cancelled, so probably after thats fixed right?
Basically yes
good luck with this mess boys in red, Ima go do my "job" 
Giving holodeck diodes is nice but I wish you would also give the holodeck buffer patterns as well especially when you can’t use the given diodes for it for anything tell y’all decide to open it with missions for the diodes. Since diodes and buffer patterns are used it should be 100 of each not just diodes that no one can use tell y’all put diode spending missions in the holodeck.
I would like Scopely to fix Field Training because there are 12 Pike shards out there to collect from milestone after broken Orion
just merged, right?
I know it’s a minor thing but it’s been months, are the rankings ever gonna be fixed? Not game breaking or anything but come on, just looks amateurish, its a pretty basic feature surely?
Correct, couple weeks past
Freshly merged 66-67, we also finished ours in the last 24hrs 😅
Nice, congrats! Also hi from 58! you guys put up 1 hellova fight in that XSLB!
So what, I'm supposed to just have that dangle in my face for the rest of the game?
By the way, I think you were accusing me of posting the same thing twice in two days; but that was someone else with the same issue.
Well here it is payday again and I wouldn't mind spending $5 or $10 in the game, but guess what? There are NO packs that price worth buying. Come on Scopely lower your prices and qwatch your profits increase
I'm going to post everywhere in here un I get my game back from lvl 44 down to lvl 1 for the 2nd time in a week. Hard to play lvl44 buy packs , finish events, then next day I'm back at lvl 1 then they give my 44 back start over lose everything again in 2 days..Scopely can't do anything right anymore put in a ticket 4 times and it get delete, send them a email no response.. I'm on almost day 3 I'm still sitting on lvl 1... 😤 frustrated, 😡 angry
I’ve been 30 shards away from maxing chen for almost 2 months - something is broken here on the RNG. Can we please get shards for her more frequently in the store for purchase?
Treasury Unlock When? and will it be anywhere near last month's level of rewards, or am I going pass on it?
have you tried spending latinum on standard pulls? Yikes thats some bad rng!
Yep, about 20k lat yielded 2 shards.
lucky guy - im currently on 110
Anyone know the name of the music that plays when you log in? In the previous arc it was the DS9 theme, but I can seem to find the music they’re currently using for the Assimilation arc.
sounds similar to borg queen theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlZ_e8pnZGE
I love that Jeff Russo used Jerry Goldsmith's Borg theme from Star Trek: First Contact for the Borg Queen in Star Trek: Picard. So, in honour of that theme, here's a short cover of it comprised of material based on two cues: "Red Alert" and "Borg Montage".
Original music composed by Jerry Goldsmith.
when will the help screen be fixed? I mean the part that showed us how many helps we got for buildings/researches/repairs
or if you want to ditch that screen how are you planning to make us see the amount of helps for ship repairs? (buildings and research are already visible outside that screen)
I don’t think it even concerns you. He tagged someone else
I think It would be nice if the event information channel was able to be an announcement so we could link it with our discord servers ..
It’s been discussed before. The idea was rejected. It causes more issues than solves problems
He tagged someone else, saying, "Are you going to post this every day?" When I was the one who posted an identical concern the previous day. So, it did concern me.
Anyone having issues with the discovery ship and it saying update game every time you use the warp thing
Any intention of them fixing ability to see repair helps sent one more time?
Anyone else think this is ridiculous?
I'd try one of the pinned workarounds in #👾-bug-reporting . It's a common issue.
is there any sourcing of bashir after the ds9 arc, i can not find any in game that i can see?
Not yet...
I. Am. So. Bored. Where's our incursion? It's been a couple months now.
So I guess our server level cap just got lifted with no warning or announcement, thanks for that so people could prepare properly. On a server where we weren't given a ISS JF event because not enough people were 39. Good job as always.
Suggestion: currently, when you tap/click the cargo icon on a survey ship, you get a window showing the current amount of cargo and how much of that cargo is protected (which are often the same number). It would be FAR more helpful to know the current cargo amount and what the current maximum protected cargo number is for that ship. That saves you from having to take the miner off a node and go into the Manageenu to find that number.
When ship is mining, you can access those Infos by scanning an hostile or another player.
I think he wants to know about HIS ships... and I too would love to know what MY protected cargo is without having to stop mining a node so that the MANAGE button appears... alternatively, I know that I can press the MANAGE button from another ship and arrow over to the ship I want, but I still need to not be mining on at least one ship to get to the MANAGE button
thanks... i just saw response... and realize thats how I can get there too!!! learning is fun! scan another hostile, click info button in center... and check MY protected cargo
That's true, actually - didn't think of that. You scan another ship then hit the "i" button
I wouldn't mind something easier tho 🙃 but it's doable without moving from the node yes
Can we please please PLEASE get rid of all the pips? I just did all of my refinery tabs and the pips don't go away, they DOUBLE.
Would love to be able to reset my password on the website...I'm needing to change my password to log in and NOT getting the code in my email...very frustrating!
I have the Meridian refit, which everything I've read indicates that a 4th chest opens..implying the buttons should have change from 3 chest to 4 chest as a payout? Is that correct? Cuz I am still only seeing 3??
You need to own a territory and have the service active to get 4 I thought
@nova sierra are you asking about the help button if so you can click on the alliance button and see the helps tab at the bottom and open it to see who is requesting help and what for. I think the on screen help button in galaxy view is intended to just show the number of helps requested by the alliance now, to make it easier to get dailies done at reset each night. But if you want to do it the old way you have to click the alliance button and go from there.
I already did my refines today, so I can't look, but did you apply the refit? I seem to remember having to do that in order for it to change.
@mossy glacier yes.
@nova sierra what op are you? And that channel isn't made for talk, better move in #🤝-help-each-other
Support just responded my open ticket without addressing the issue. They asked for a response and then 30 minutes later closed my ticket for no response from me. Really? Support sucks!
@potent silo ahh...sorry...will do.
I helped scootch him, hehe. Thanks!
I already know how to open the help screen to send helps to other players, and it is not what I was talking about, what is missing after the last 2 patches is the screen that showed how many help was sent to you by the other players
Don’t cross post please.
If anyone is interested, the windows client can run on Linux using wine as a wrapper.
I should add, with the specs I show (older laptop with intel i3), I had to set the resolution to 1366x768 on low quality to get it to run semi-smoothly. The biggest issue I have had after installation is occasionally losing keyboard capture after changing window focus.
Accidentally did it.
and you can run the android version on windows (using the Windows Subsystem for Android)... but after a day or 3 it basically destroys Windows and or WSA 🙂 (with filesystem errors)
Nooope
Hi everyone. I am an absolute newbie to the game, I'm going to stream it for the first time as a sponsored stream to advertise Star Trek Fleet Command. I'm a brand new, small time streamer, so this isnt really an earning opportunity for me, but a learning one. I would love if anyone would like to stop in and give me pointers about the game, or would like to come in and tell me what they love about it. I'm going in blind, taking in my open mind and my love of Star Trek (especially Original Series, Next Gen and DS-9). Come say hi while I make a fool of myself:
I would of put this in the stream channel, but I dont have permission at this point

I’m having issues logging into the web store and need to change the email on my game account if that is possible because I am not receiving the password reset verification code on my existing email, also I can’t get help in game every time I open legal and help as soon as I start typing it goes all white and I have to reload the game.
Then I'd try the email option listed in #👽-how-to-contact-support
What is the logic with the G4 ship pricing for the rare 46 and epic 50 ships. A rare 46 ship costs 507,500 faction creds. The epic 50 costs 1,040,000 faction creds. Meanwhile the first G5 warship only costs 450,000 creds? Where's the logic in that when G5 ships have been repeatedly demonstrated as being massively more powerful.
You did a whoopsie! You used the word “logic” in relation to the game STFC…….silly silly!
Yeah, not Scopely's strong point I know 😅
Now I'm curious as to whether it can be done without those issues. Of course, it's rendered moot since we have a windows client now.
It feels pretty disheartening being level 31 and put in with level 49's in a limited time event. I don't understand why the bracket is so large for the timed events.
When announcing new events or changes, it would be a nice touch to include details on the scoring mechanic similar to the battlepass post.
Is there no Bajoran token pack?
and you get better rewards with windows client... p.s. the stock WSA doesnt have Google Play... but the XDA developers built one called "MindTheGApps".. current testing on v2009 and v2011.. had to restore Windows from windows image backup every few days, but now that I have the windows app working I dont need it anymore. (initially, I couldnt get my scopely id to take my google play progress for a few attempts).
??????????
Lots of Ticketed events, no daily Tickets. Get stepping because no one's buying that squiz.
They are in the bp
£17.99 for this you're having a laugh!!
I love how often I'll hit a button, any button, in the game and suddenly poof no game.
I also love how, after hitting a button, if the game is still there, it's a solid 5 - 10 seconds or a spinning white circle that may or may not end in 30 seconds, before it responds. Do I have the patience to wait for it to respond, or am I going to close it and reopen it to force a response? It's like a game within a game!
@tacit obsidian @royal solar I start all these buildings and researches 10 min after event reset and I get no points? I put in a ticket and get told some event points can be delayed and my ticket is closed. Yet everyone else isn't experiencing 2.5 hour delays. What is going on?
Here is my ticket number @royal solar @tacit obsidian Thank you in advance! For reference, your ticket number is #8814164
Wait till CS respond. No need to post this publicly
The bot auto closed the original ticket and after trying multiple times to even get a ticket #, CS has a 3 day respond time. The event will be over by then. How else am I supposed to get it solved before the event finishes? Generally curious. what is the proper way? If I hadn't looked at DJ's discord I would have never known there even was an issue. How do Content Creators report game issues before the official discord does? What is the proper way to get issues resolved before events end?
Content Creators dont report issues before official does. There just isnt a CM on weekends to say these things
CS is aware of scoring issues so they are looking for these tickets
Okay so what is the drop down that i need to be putting this ticket under? The way i found to work around the issue was to report it in purchasing issues. Is there a specific section I need to put the ticket in. Delay rewards auto closes the ticket and doesn't even give me a ticket number. I work at a 24/7 operating business and there are only 2 people in my position. we rotate weekends so someone is always available. It sucks but is doable. No officail announcement has been shared in the discord. where should we look for official announcments like these issues?
Since when? 🙃
What good was merging my server when these TC are lag fests and I can't accurately see where ships are... It's a joke all the money we all have given you for an environment that is dysfunctional.
Any idea when resources raided screen is going to work properly again? It's been a while now??
You guys need to do some SERIOUS work on the excomps!
what doesn't need serious work on this game?
It's a novel idea, but making sure everything works before releasing it, and making sure you're not breaking existing features at the same time would make players infinitely happier. I think there have only been 2 or 3 arcs where they didn't break something.
Too bad that’s not a philosophy they work by. Even the community manager has said numerous times now he’d rather they just get content out then fix it later.
Problem is, instead of fixing things, they just move onto the next content push and forget about the old problems for the most part.
Random pulls for ever officer recruitment section is just so dumb and annoying. Haven’t gotten a single hemmar shard in the last 50+ chests. Only one I haven’t unlocked yet
I was thinking the same thing good sir, same thing…
With so many newish armada related things that have come out, can we get a tab in the inventory screen that just shows armada inventory? A quick place I can see how many directives I've got instead of going through the ever increasingly bloated other category. Yes I know you can click an armada to see if you can host but let's just get a simple and consolidated inventory for armada directives and loot please
Don't feel too bad. I'm out 930k pts due to the scoring reset
Write a ticket to CS, not through delayed scoring category though
Fyi, you're still using the death star as a model for the borg sphere. The clear distinction is construction lines of longitude merge on the main deflector. NOT at 45⁰ north of equator
You need to update your game
No updates available and its still wrong construction lines do not merge into the deflector
The Borg spheres are now green as they should have been. They are not death stars
Its not the color. Its the design
Zero response from CS on my ticket (
#8813350)
Recruit Hugh event screwed for me. Which i prepared for.
😡
Wait till they respond
Same.
I impatiently wait for a generic useless response telling me I'm wrong
Unless your using a model other then the TNG movie first contact. Design is significantly different but color is about right
Anyway we can get a sourcing path for Hadley? Leslie and Hendorf are both in the elite fed chest (uncommons) but Hadley is common with no way to source him
Paid pack 😅 tbh he isn’t that useful. Only Leslie is
Hate the strike teams, now anyone with a couple hundred dollars is over powered, way to ruin your bad version of " Players vs. Payers"
"You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round"
As a f2p I do genuinely feel sorry for people who have invested in the game given how unstable its become to play
Spammer. Block him and report to support
Contact CS. Do not post that here please
I actually think ST let f2p take back some pvp from paid players. With two rare ST officers I was able to take down a whale enterprise 2.5x my ship strength.
Why such massive lag on a quiet Sunday? Even stinging w Mantis takes around 5 seconds!
It's the new norm. Can only have so many half baked patches held together with gun tape before the whole thing dynamites and every aspect of the game is affected.
When are you going to give us what we need. I need uncommon minerals, ore gas, and crystal. I need 1.5M SHIP XP to power up one ship 20 levels to where it should be. That's only 1 ship. what about the other 11.
The ship xp exocomps are quite great! Highly recommend 🙂
All 3 ST unlocked, battlepass only. Not everything is pay or miss out
Grind, grind grind. Park them in Augment space.
Battle pass counts as “pay”
Once more in terms of officers the treasury is absolute garbage. Back in the day there was a good amount of new officers, ever since the first one could be opened with broken rods it's has been bad. Don't get me wrong the rest of the contents are still great
This is way too restrictive for the Heavy Hitter event. Normally, I love this event and will put the time into grinding all day because I know that simply putting enough time in will win it for me.
This... puts a limit on where and how many points one can earn (swarm not included but perhaps is should be the premium place to score points? )
Not even going to bother with this event this time, thanks to this you got a player who plays A LOT to take a day off from the grind.
I think what you want is to encourage participantation that breeds competition and that generates sales.
Please open this event to any system like it was before.
It's any system if you bought the projectile...They know what they're doing
Enough pay to win already.
Worse than you think, even. I got players on the standings list with 100+ billion after the first 15 minutes. WTH? How is that even possible?
It’s gotta be the Polaron thing. The whales are way out in deep space, blasting hostiles with massive hull points with the Polaron. This is a “Whales only” event now.
On my 4th year of playing. The pay to win aspects have gotten out of control lately. Most players don't know this but there was a time a free player could add real value to the crew, a free player had a chance to compete and win.
@fallen epoch was trying to find the thread related to the "Field Trianing" and closing out the assignments. I still have one Ship task that hasn't closed out yet, as I completed the Orion Corvette task way back in the beginning. Can you advise?
Research one? You have to wait till Scopely fix it
@fallen epoch correct..the research node. Ok, understood..been so long wasn't sure it still in works.
☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️ when is this going to be fixed devs?
The same day they fix the explorer strike team so it isn't garbage... Nevuary 32nd , 2000 and neva
You can get orion corvette BP's as a drop in lvl 9 systems
It's the research problem
you mean like a message saying yo im going to kill you now?
Whatcha wanna bet his alliance and the other one are at war and he doesn’t even know it.
Yep I just got my korinar f2p which is cool but my peers that I used to outmatch with crewing/strategy are now 50+ even the bad ones, To add insult to injury i was planning on having one of the best 46 ships but with strike team its easily the worst
Star Trek Fleet Command won't allow me to talk in the game, Star Trek Fleet Command has violated my rights under the US Constitution freedom of speech to defend myself from Bullies. That's why I can't answer your questions.
Freedom of speech simply means the US and State governments can't prohibit you from speaking in a public forum. Private companies can do what they want until they get ruled to be acting as a state actor.
How do so many people get that so totally wrong? Mind you, it seems to be the loudest people who also understand the least. 🤷
How do you turn the broken rods to open the treasury ?
Its ok was not showing on the pc version, is showing on mobile
Officer recruit store
Inside the treasury
How exactly is the Service Award Cost Efficiency calculated/applied? If I compare my building at OPS 41 with 84% of Efficiency with the values I see in my Away Team Research tree and the values I see on stfc.space I'm nowhere near those 84%. Or I just don't understand how those 84% are applied to the original value.
CostFinal = CostBase/(1+totalEfficiency)
Math was never my thing, will need to see how I can apply it
What happened to reducing the amount of screen time?? please either increase the borg yield or add bigger borg ships with bigger yield and reduce the amount required 1m is too much, and just like the other refinery the new command refinery is just as bad!!! you claim to have listened to the player but chose to do your own thing!! You have added more grinding and more armada's both of these players said we were sick of??
Wait till next month... they haven't told us everything yet. According to developper on DJz podcast
more grinding or armada's?? more random currencies I can't wait.... or some new missions where I can donate more resources than I get from the event, daily events that eran me a whooping 2m in pars or 30 uc ore same as I got when I was lvl 30 and it helped a little
Sounded like time savers, but NDA protected him from sharing. Wish they'd just give us a clear roadmap lol
He he, given that we haven't bought Locustus at all i m not expecting any improvement that will not cost $ 🥱
Lag is absolutely horrible. Pvp is near impossible, and there’s only like 10 ships participating in the system. Max. No more than 20 ships in the whole system.
I’ve closed the game for now. I’ll traveled across the system to hit an ent, targeted it when I was beside it, and suddenly it was 20 seconds away going towards our stations. Where of course I got crushed by a different ship I couldn’t see (and not because it was cloaked).
Minute later my survey gets hit by an invisible ent, which I couldn’t hit back because it was invisible!
@royal solar any idea when cloaks will be in store again? Specifically the VorCha? I’m lvl 54 and have the ship, just waiting for that cloak.
@tacit obsidian why did you remove our ability to see how many alliance helps we had received?!? Please put it back.
Old Man answer this
Don’t crosspost please 🖖
@royal solar @tacit obsidian The email address provided in the #👽-how-to-contact-support channel is invalid! Tried it, doesn’t work!
What makes you think that is the wrong email?
Because when I try emailing it I get it bounced back saying it’s invalid 🤷🏼♂️
No one else we have given the email to has had issues with it. Can you try sending an email from another account.
Also make sure there isn’t a typo in the email address you are typing
Cheers for the suggestion! Turns out I put the E the wrong side of the L by mistake! Unsurprisingly not the first time 😂 My bad 😅
Yay, so after like 5 years of constant amalgam refining, I can finally get a skin for my Jelly? (also the strike team for explorers is still super trash)
#JusticeForWeyoun
Was that mine? Just hoping for quick solution 🖖
Yep. Bug reporting was fine.
Tell me the parsteel is wrong
It's a tritanium heavy lockbox. It changes tunes every month. Next month might be steel or dilithium heavy
No it’s fine. It’s a ship/tri based lock box.
Wooot! Infitus again! Thx Bek!
It would be nice if the servers that merged at the start of thr month were able to participate in incursions since they got delayed.
I’m with Hugo. Server 69 doesn’t need a by week anymore. Makes no sense giving a by after a whole month of merging.
Gotta say: I am not a fan of Scopely’s new trend of rolling out unscheduled events like this upcoming recruit Hugh SLB. It throws a huge monkey wrench into what should be a solid, planned strategy based on the original arc calendar. Half of this game is planning, and they seem to be intentionally screwing with that aspect.
They were XSLB - but changed to SLB. I am grateful. Tired of competing against those whales on 86. 😂
They've been running some sort of slb or xslb for several months in a row. How was it a surprise? The surprise is who your auctioning for...not that there was ever not gonna be an event. Incursion prep this weekend as well? Or this is it?
Gotta love that my server is up that is capped at 50 was paired with server 77 which has 51+ unlocked
Cancelled the Jan incursion but still skipped servers merged a month ago #ScopelyLogic
Capped at 50? 🤔
KOS marking needs to be changed to an Individual player not an Alliance. Unfair to mark an Alliance for a single player’s actions.
A single high level player should not have the ability to get an entire alliance targeted.
Mantis grinding is such a pain. Buffs spawn rate tanks as soon as you go 37+, interceptor spawn rate drops to 2 when you hit 38. Hemmar has a drop rate 10,000 times lower than the rest of the officers from the pack
This needs to be one of the focus points of this years long wait to reduce the amount of time it takes to do dalies
@north perch hi! How about making it easier to identify the player who debuff ships with their mantis?
It should be in the info popup that lists the effect and duration.
Instead it sometimes shows in the banner area for a few seconds, though often not even that much.
It's an aggressive act, it should be possible to see who did it.
Where do i find the Ferengi Traders.
They randomly spawn in borg token systems every few hours. They're a hot commodity
Ty
I wish this game had customer service. You guys suck more than Robinhood and they lost over billions of users. Not hard to see why this game can't build when there is zero game support
You first have to have support to be able to give support
My server can't go to OPS 51+ yet
That's a thing? Thought 40 was the only lock-out w/ ascension keys. Don't need anything to get to 51
I don’t think it locks at 49 friend. The only lock in aware of is 39 Ascension.
You need ascension keys II at some point which are via gift chest, which can be locked for certain servers
Ah okay. Our server must have been aged enough when it dropped as people did it instantly
<@&509691205798592532> Just trying to figure out why there are no 4* survey parts in the treasury or my upcoming 30-day chest. Is this something intentional or accidentally overlooked? I have ship parts for the other three classes of ships. Just wondering why no survey ships?
Survey parts are gold dust. They don’t have the same sourcing as other ship parts
Meh, good enough for now
Can I have your uncommon parts 🥰
When you spend 100 bucks on the elite pass, participate in every event, and still end up with like 85/120 hugh shards at the end of the arc... <eye roll>
I had 69/70 yesterday. Should have 89 after I pulled today's refinery. 90 minutes and multiple restarts later, still nothing. I wonder how many other times this happened...
Dear Scopely, pay for your own commercials, I'm not going to do them for you #STFCFC 🧐
Anyone know when I try and log in I get billing issue restart message ?
So just saw 110 has a bye week again. Will these guys ever do incursions?😂
You should dump that last contest you started. No one has time to advertise free of charge for you just to be one of 5 people who win an insignificant prize. And please don't do crap like that in the future, it makes you look skeevy as a company.
rofl nice 2* mats for Ops29 package
I normally drop 6 to 800 a week on games like this, per game
This game unfortunately I can't drop any money into because if I have an issue I can't get a hold of any customer service.
Y'all are nuts to spend money in here
Well hey... at least we have weekly server lag which makes doing events awful...
Correct
@tacit obsidian Skipping the servers that merged in January when this is the February incursion is 💩
Ok, that’s three times now. Please refrain from offensive emojis.
The only offensive things is scopely work and insulting gift, so don't be surprise of those reactions. Rather ask yourself why one has this reaction, perhaps it could improve the game and make customers satisfied. You don't know anything at all.
And I read General-FEEDBACK here,which means People express their judgment and it doesn't seem to me that you remove vulgar reactions to each announcement, or am I wrong? Be consistent🖖
You’re wrong. Good chat. 👍🏻
The first round of incursions is coming Jan 31st - Feb 2nd (EU, US, APAC). The following servers listed will have a bye-week this round of Incursions: Its not clear, when the actual incursion happens and on what server. please clarify?
See the bracket
EU -31st
US - 1st
APAC -2nd
Thanks, that clearer. It would of been better written if it was ended with consecutively.
betting that US + APAC gonna be " delayed" after EU disaster feedback? 😆
Games so broken. I am so pîssed that scopely broke this so bad. What’s up w us both dying? I drop these all the time now I can’t? ? Games programmed to make you die?? @royal solar ??
Nobody told us there would be some social media #STFCFC posting thing. I have been deleting every weird fleet commander post on r/startrekfleetcommand all day thinking it was just weird spam.
It’s been in the official announcements channel for hours.
They’re trying to get players to gaslight each other into thinking they’re something more than an overly convoluted research tree with further diminishing returns on the researches because they gave it a low quality avatar.
Ah diminishing returns, the capitalist way to screw you over for products that cost them absolutely nothing to reproduce. (Where diminishing returns are supposed to show us when production costs rise to the point that you lose money with units produced. Pixels don’t have that.). It is a false flag to royally screw folks and produce a false scarcity. And in the long run will/has hurt the game.
Why am I suddenly showing 1/10ths on tritanium on my ship?? OMG No!! It's showing 100ths !! My tritanium miner is counting up 100ths!!
mining shows 100ths.. yes... x.xx (and has for a while) it also does xx.xxK as in 14.56K
Any word on the orion research completion for the field training?
Still being worked on
thaank you
Question for Scopely: will Subspace Relay Keys be available in the game again?
Hi, I m not scopely 👋 keys should be available when next incursion start
Whether Incursions run or not can we actually be given the Subspace Relay Keys finally? Do just like... one thing almost right.
Just worked out that there is a cap on the broken desealing rods of 5000.
So skipping a treasury because the next one might be better works out real bad for you when your broken rods stop accumulating... Scumbag move Scopely.
There is not a cap at 5k for broken desealing rods.
Nope. There isn’t a cap. You just got very lucky and got a number exactly at 5000
No cap I had over 5,120
Hmmm, not convinced... I'm sure (can't prove it cos just spent 4000) that I had 5000 at the end of last arc and would have earned more during the Officer Non Arc Arc... There are other caps so wouldn't be surprised about any others. (E.g. Faction Allegiance Keys that cap at 7)
Allegiance Keys can’t be compared
Maybe, but there's still a stupid unnecessary cap on them...
Why does the bar for the treasury cost 24 bucks for some, 99.99 bucks for others and 119 bucks for others?! Somehow it looks like a rip-off.
Diff prices for diff countries first off.
The varying ranges within those countries is based on your spending habits. The more you spend, the better it is, the more it costs. Less you spend, worse it is, cheaper it costs
We're all in the same country so the argument doesn't count.
Uh. Did the rest not land? I explained it pretty well.
Spend more = better, more expensive pack
Spend less = lesser, cheaper pack
You aren't all getting the same thing for the different prices
ok i think i got it now.
Can we please have more verbose battle logs to include statuses inflicted, and damage caused by burning?
and 119 vs 99 is dependant on which store you're using, PC/web vs Mobile
I am looking for this to mine but none of the nodes have any rss.
Has Scopely ever considered stopping the constant content? And just fixing what they have? How many 100 dollar primes do they need? We need more currencies, more ways to absorb an entire day with STFC. We dont need fun. We need a new job that doesn't make us money, that does the exact opposite. It needs to cost money to work on this, lots of it. That is what they must think we think. Stop the endless fleecing and ridiculous content. Fix what you have, make more avenues to get what is already there. Your contests, events etc are trash. Whoever is in charge of the vision and advancement, fire them. Get new people who aren't braindead leeches with little to no creativity or foresight about what players want. None of what I said is new. Most players feel that way. Quit releasing new stuff, fix what you have. The officer recruiting, scam. Mats refinery? Scam. Parts refinery? Scam. How many new factions we gonna grind for??? 3 years in, about done. Fix the game. Stop your constant fleecing. Make the game fun and not a money pit. Save your game for God's sake.
Switch to it and the node refresh’s
I play another game that has plenty to spend on and yet it's pay to play model is actually pretty smart. It's well thought out, they don't provide constant new content and the free players can actually provide value to the team. You are correct, STFC doesn't need more new content. I agree that STFC needs to fix its problems and have more inclusive pay to play content. I haven't stopped spending on gaming, just stopped spending on STFC after 4 years of playing.
Oh, and! The game is stable, very little in the way of glitching and battery drain.
Not entirely true. First time I bought it it was 4.99, I dont spend much andnit jumped.to 49.99 and now its 99.99. Btw...i never did buy it at 49.99, just 4.99
Usually the only $$ i spend is on battlenpass, the 19.99 version.
Scopley - if you had more 4.99 - 19.99 options in the store, I would actually spend more than $20 once a month on batgle pass.
Whoever is in charge of your pricing model is kinda dumb, tbh. Hmmm...lets charge $100 for everything, even though its mostly junk and filler and see how many people buy it. Say...10 out of 100 people do. Ok, so thats a $1000 vs 500 people at $20 2 or more times a month. Do the math...or get someone familiar with managerial economics to do your pricing plan. Its a better pricing model.
I can tell you without a doubt, I scroll past the 500 things in my store that are $100 and look for the $19.99 items every single day. Adding more $100 items does NOT make me want to buy them. It does the exact opposite.
You could probanly get me for $20 a week instead of $20 a month if you fixed your pricing plan. Now multiply that lost revenue by the amount of players playing vs the players who spend the $100. Thats the amount of $$ that you're losing every month.
Opportunity cost and exonomic profit. Its a thing.
So your spending habits increased. This is what it's priced on
they'll be a team of people and huge forecasts telling them, these big packs make them more money despite the sense of if they sell it cheaper they will make more overall.
Do people on a bye week get some typically?
As player in bye week have no incursion event, I would say no, but no guarantee.
The Actian systems seem off, with exocomps not respawning even after killing several non-exo Chrysalis and Apex hostiles. This has been over the past day or so, possibly longer? Anyone else seeing this?
Not necessarily. The 1st time it was offered on my server, it I was brand new, and didnt know wtf I was doing, so I was like $5? Ok. $20 a month is not worthy of 10x the amount of initial cost. This happened to every single person on my server I've spoken to, regardless of amount spent. We have lots of f2p players. Even if its the only thing they every bought ..the price went from 4.99...to19.99/49.99/99.99 depending on their level
Yep. You are describing how it was designed and released. You're complaining about a feature 😅
The treasury is supposed to increase in tier
Yeah, we're getting server merged, so no incursions for us. I was hoping we'd get some, even if it wasn't a lot. That bonus is really nice.
If you buy it. You go up a tier.
I was talking about the key, to unlock the building. If you are talking about the token to upgrade it, server on bye week will have a little compensation chest
Considering I am doing this very thing right now in my managerial encomics class for my MBA program as well as getting paid a large sum doing this for for a company, I respectfully disagree. Without being able to see the basic metrics and numbers, this is an actual financial suggestion, not something I am pulling out of thin air.
I am not suggesting the $100 packs do not make them money. Clearly they do judging by the amount of whales on my server. However by not offering other inferior packs at a lower cost, they are missing out on a very large chunck of income, which could have the potential to exceed what they make on the $100 packs.
They must be seeing something in the data that suggests otherwise, as I would tend to agree with your premise. I'm surprised they havent gone middle ground. Large expensive packs initially then reduced content without the fluff cheaper packs 3months down the line. Pick up the whale spend initially and then the other spenders will buy the no fluff packs later. For example the latest research queue which only has an £89 ($100) pack and no cheaper option since it launched.
They'd need say 50 folks to get 20$ packs. Or 10 folks to get 100$. I'd tell you the number willing to spend is probably somewhere toward the lower end. Hence offering different price options.
Also apple & Google stores want their cut. Vs xsolla (pc store) requires a smaller cut and provides purchase incentives.
I am a Bussnes college Valedictorian, I would happily help Scopley fix the pricing model. Right now I am willing to bet that less than 20% of players spend more than $20 per month. With your idea 80% of players would likely spend much more than $20 per month. Right now, I play a game that I spend $6 a day on. In 3 weeks I will spend much more than my $20 STFC pack every month.
Hello all , i am asking , i am on the 108 ... and the leaderboard is totally broken ...
my alliance has 60M power, and posted 27M on the leaderboard...
and the top 2 really only have 45M power!!! ( 36M on leaderboard ....As a result, we do not benefit from the "leaderboard bonus on recruitment, for example...
They've been broken across all servers for a bit. Slowly getting fixed. Been a problem since incursions
Can someone please explain how the pay store contents have become Event Store rewards.
$$
Or has spending money become a new event now?
if you look at the webstore it is.....
<hint to scopely>p.s. unless they give us some token for completing a later event</hint to scopely>, the officers in event store are $$ only, but I would hope that after this really low reward arc, they give us something for our troubles. fingers crossed.
... coming off of November and December events, this one was a real let down. however, they did give us a lot more for the 4th anniversary specials.
The event store has always cycled different things through it. Some are free to play, some are $$ only. Not sure what the issue is
How often has @everyone wondered what is the best ship for them to scrap to convert their 3* materials to 4*? The USS Mayflower vs the USS Enterprise. A D3 vs a D4. Star Trek Fleet Command doesn't make that information readily available so Rev's here to give you all the scrapping information you need to be the most efficient player on your server (or at least in your own home).
Topics covered:
- Shoutout to John Conner and StewieDoo who helped me put together the table. Rev's hate for spreadsheets is widely known
- Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals for "efficiency", but wait there's more!
- What you should be scrapping based on your level!
- If you have any game mechanic questions, feel free to drop those questions in the comments!

Is the Event Store not supposed to allow players to exchange currencies for rewards from Battlepass events?
<@&509691205798592532> do you all have the same amount left needed?
You are on track 👍🏻
sweet u rock as always
🥰
A bit of positive feedback, at first I was cross when I saw that I would basically need twice the Borg loot for refinery each day but the exo’s are great, have brought the Borg grind from one of the worst to one of the best, thanks scopley, credit where it’s due y’all done good😀👍
2 trips a day for borg to get one mada pull is not fun..... after events are over I will drop to a couple a wepullsek most likely. I wonder how many borg madas they think the average player will source a week.
Event store should not be a pay store for the pay to play. If you want them to have a store that is fine.
I want to know the difference between grinding event stores and pay event stores.
I dislike wasting my time on something that does not pertain to me and it clutters the items that do.
Please make different tabs for pay and grind event stores.
Darn slow mode. I get the idea and like the idea. But it needs its own place. Just to make it clear. 😁
We need the market back, not lvl50 so that all can trade for good’s between alliances, most games have that, makes sense if you ask me
If you look at all star trek there is trading going on at some point and why do we have to “earn” by paying
Please bring back the ability to see help request status via the alliance interface. I can no longer see how many alliance helps I've received for ship repairs.
heard it is coming back in a not so far off release
Getting screwed on buff spawns in Actian systems feels bad. I would suggest doing something similar to Apex where a minimum of one of each of the buffs is present at all times.
I dunno if we want scopely making them like the apex, since the issue with apex spawns freezing is back again. We do not need that happening to the chrysalises too.
That is underlying issue that affects all hostiles; it's only really impactful on systems where hostile spawns are limited, like scouts and Apex. Generally it's just an annoyance, but it's most commonly occurring in popular systems, like tygokor and probes.
I’ve just been in contact with support about an issue I have with accepting new missions - long and short of it I can’t accept any new missions because my log is full.
It’s full because I archived a ton of Klingon missions ready for after I have locked fed and rom rep. Turns out if I want to pick up any new missions I need support to abandon them for me and they will never be doable again or any of the follow on missions…seems a bit naff to me
It's a refit, check that section for details. Also here:
@Candle is that what makes a miner jump from a Normal level kill to a Hard level kill?
Yes, there's a shield icon on the nametag that warns you the ability is active.
Not sure of the algorithm that determined this, but now my daily Swarm requirements has both a 25 hostile and 20 hostile both at the same 32lvl hostile. Yea, I know it's based on my power level, though not having a ship quite strong enough (yet), makes this not doable for a few weeks (likely longer ) to upgrades a ship or two to be stronger. That is, unless I want to buy my way up (not happening)...🤨😑😮💨
It’s dependant on Ops level
@fallen epoch That I get. Just feels like the information needed to understand what it take to do/get things to help plan an upgrade path (station, ship, officers..ect), seems to be almost like a secret, known to a select few. I am finding inspend more time lately doing online research to figure out what things really do in the game, that I am spending less time actually playing.
Increasing Ops increases swarm and hostile kill dailies.
Please add a flag over systems where a mission is still available to be accepted. The yellow flag for mission waypoints is great, but not knowing that I've missed accepting a mission is frustrating.
The fleet commander leveling route is a pain in the arse, you go in level up, come out go refinery collect SP, rinse repeat. The level doesn't seem to have any meaningful role other than to make you click all over the show. it's not fun
Locks abilities further up.
Here’s a quick QoL suggestion that should be easy to do. Make it so that all the Solo Armadas, Jem and Borg, respawn instantly after being destroyed. Especially since in many cases, there are a lot of players who want to run Solos in the same system AND cuz some genius though it’d be swell idea to randomize the amount of loot each Solo drops. Ideally fix both, but at least fix one of these issues. And while you’re at it, we’re still waiting for Deep Space Armada to have have their respawn timers buffed as well. 10-12 hours for epics is just plain sadistic, there’s no logical reason why regular Armadas can’t have the same buffed respawn timers as Eclipse Armadas
as a 39 able to do borg solo rare armadas I would like to have the chance to spend those rare credits at my level instead of having to wait till level 40 to be able to see the rare chests in the refinery
Can anyone tell me why we have an attack animation after a station has been cracked? What exactly is my amalgam attacking 100’s of times? I think after its cracked the survey ships or amalgam should just “dock” for the RSS.
But how to get the bps for these? Only from event rewards “when” there’s a suitable event presenting them??
Thats a visual bug that can be fixed by restarting your game or clearing your cache. Lag can get pretty awful while raiding, always has
That’s not what he means
Bajoran faction store for G3 and G4 faction miners
Oh he wants instant raiding I guess then lol
Yep
Instant raiding makes sense after the initial crack, the bottleneck is still there as you can only take a portion of the RSS depending on the amalgam/survey level. It will still take hours but around 75% reduction.
Why don't borg exos count for the exo daily?
The all cash event store is such a nice touch, about time scopley showed what they really think of all us scuzzy freeloading f2p and small spenders
scopely needs you too, shinkicker, so the big spenders have someone in their ops lvl band they can beat up on
Scopleys motto is “stand and deliver “ that’s not news but as my wife just pointed out to me the event store is part of the battle pass events rewards so they have basically devalued all battlepass events and then charged any fools who will pay for the privilege 😂 I hope they don’t sell a single pack to numptys with too much money so they won’t pull this rubbish on us again
Gotta catch me first😂
Who at scopely suggested to ad Nero to this pack? Don’t you think that someone who’s at least lv46 ( the level you can get a pilum) already maxed Nero already?
Need to add in a "reset skills" on fleet commanders. With or without a cooldown or cost
Is there an explanation as to why you posted this in like 20 channels?
Only 4 ... And failure at math as well?
Some general feedback on support. Customer support should be a dialogue, not a response and then immediately closing the support ticket. Nothing makes me as a customer feel as unimportant and unvalued as having my issue simply shut down instead of being given a chance to respond. It used to be the case that tickets weren't immediately closed, but now it seems like customer support is really just a waste of time. That's why I won't be giving Scopely any of my money anymore.
There needs to be a way to tag individual players who are not in an alliance as KOS.
Give me a way as a smaller ops player (lv 39) to fight back vs the bullies (level 50+)
You have all the tools you need: Rom/harrison/HG worf on a Saladin, an Amalgam, and patience 😉
Ok, so Latinum Antique refinery is 3 days...NO WAIT, I went to level 36 and for some reason now it's 5 days? What the hell are the idiot programmers at Scopely thinking? If anything it should get shorter! Levelling is hard enough in this game without the added "help" from Scopely!
to different level accounts but on the higher level account you are not able to purchase the cheaper command centre upgrade the left hand pic is lvl 36 ...right hand pic is lvl 23
These fleetcommander researches do almost nothing 😡. Putting Kirk into the seat with ship-XP research level 10/15 increases ship-XP from 22000 to just 22345 😡. Not worth it!
Welcome to the world of repeated researches and ever diminishing returns.
If only Scopely would take the extra little bit of effort to show you what the actual %increase would be instead of those shiny and fake numbers.
But if they did that people would be even less likely to chase and play the new content.
There is still something wrong! If 345 XPs represent 65% of the base-value, then the base value would be around 600 XPs - for a Lvl 51 G5-battleships that seems to be way too low!
You are missing the diminishing returns. You have to factor in ALL the other xp bonuses you are already getting.
Realistically that 65% is a rounding error if you are high enough ops and on top of your other researches.
This was a vidar encounter. Why was name restricted
Please read the whole conversation, not only the part where your standard Copy/Paste-answer fits! Fleetcommander increases XP-output from 22000 to 22345. So these 345 XPs represent 65% of base-value, which makes the base-value appr. 600 XP. Not realistic for a Lvl 51 G5-battleship that I hunt.
Customer service is awful in this game. Tremendously disrespectful. Liars. Just close tickets without ever resolving problems. Take several days to reply to time sensitive problems.
Good evening. I am trying to delete my account and these were the steps I have gone through so far and three weeks on, I am still in game. In order to delete your account you:
- need to contact support
- give your details (player ID, alliance, last purchase)
- then a CM asks you to add you on discord
- lots a niceties, stalling
- then they activate the bot (which is, surprise surprise, bugged). It asks you the same questions as support but automated and sends you a link to the website.
- that leads you to a website with instructions that aren't correct (to delete the game from your app, which don't works as they are outdated)
- so in the end I had to go to settings, choose account deletion and that led me to a website to fill in another form. An option that has always been there, I think.
- I filled in the form, another round of Scopely ID, email address etc.
- I receive a mail my request is considered, account deletion is permanent bla bla bla ...
- I receive a reply my account won't be deleted and I need to contact support, with a general link.
- I reply, making clear I want my account deleted, to receive an automated reply that my ticket has been closed.
Quite sure this is all against GDPR regulation. If Scopely wants me to take this further, I will. I'd like a reply and not from another CM with general excuses.
Quit telling me my Starbase is under attack. I DON'T CARE.
Right to forget is limited to personal information, so deleting the game account is going to be outside of that... At most they might nuke the email address off the account? Depends what your goal in deletion is...
But only if you can prove without a shadow of a doubt that its your account/email, because they also have a duty to protect the integrity of personal data
why make it impossible to delete it tho? After all, it is my choice.
OK well I screwed up.
I had 2 accounts. 1 on PC and 1 on mobile (different servers of course). My phone game was much further along than my PC version. I tried to link the phone version to Scopely. The PC was already linked. It told me that it would replace the info in the game with the more advanced. Well I took this to mean that I would be replacing the PC version connected with the mobile version. I didn't want to replace it so I clicked no. Which replaced my more advanced version with the PC version. There was no way to back out of it at all after I clicked link. You either accepted the more advanced version or you accepted the newer. There was NO CANCEL BUTTON. So is there any way to revert back to my mobile version on my phone? There is no way to UNLINK the account now though.
contact CS??? they might be able to help you
Shoot their miners in territory. ..tears will follow 🤣
i think its not fair what when you're level up to 45 borg solo armada chest increasing their prices in twice. next ship we build only on 46, so now i'm a fresh ops 45 player will skip all borg solo armada activity.
These bullies don't have territory, use tokens and don't store rss so they don't need to shield mostly. Just run around gatekeeping and harassing smaller players. Would be nice if I could just kamikaze a cheap ship against them at least to rack up their repair bills. Make them think twice about being A-hats
The whole purpose is to frustrate you into keeping the account so they can do two things:
Keep an account active for user stats for building a profit portfolio yearly.
Keep it so that they have the always open option of you checking in, playing for a few moments here and there then coming back to playing and spending because it’s more familiar than other newer games.
Psychologists and sociologists are regular consultants if not permanent employees at video gaming companies for a reason.
This happens when the alliance tag is a special character
WTH is this. I bought one item in the store this month from doing this months BP Event. I bought Tactical Advantage Supplies which gave me Junk. Why do we not get points to buy anything with. You show us everything but I can't buy anything from completing all the events. This is No Fun! This months BP Event is a Big Fail!
they should not put stuff in the event store if they do not plan to give some of the required currency with events
they started it with the lucky thing chest, then they added an unscheduled event for that currency, I suppose after our complains or they would have announced the SLB from start, then they released new stuff with another currency that can only be bought, generating other complains of the same type
this is baffling
Can you please revamp application notifications? Or allow us to customize them? Between them and the inconsistent behavior of the red pips EVERYWHERE, this game is extremely not user friendly
My Current issues:
- Every alliance member solo armada start seems to trigger a notification.
- sometimes incoming attacks/depleted mining nodes trigger notifications, sometimes they don't. Make it consistent, please!
Just what the hell?
whats about the normal recruits ? anyway to open more then 5x boxes ? with the lag in the game i will need several hours to open that many packs, maybe give a option to open all at once or sth.
that would have saved me some grey hair actually 😄 maxing chen..
Those are only from buying a pack.
They like to show you all the stuff you can have if you just spend in $99 increments.
There are Reports that we might be entering a economic downturn or even a recession. Many people who play this game might be living off of an IRA. They might have lost the equivalent of a German Sports car in value. And this company pushes for more money instead of keeping their customers happy.
The whales rule this game. Would you expect them to do otherwise?
Welcome to mobile gaming.
Lego: heroes unboxed is shutting the game down in a month but just put out new packs with higher prices.
faction rep lock levels gotta be changed
So you made the “We are Borg” SMS event to where you couldn’t miss even one event. Not even sure which event I missed, but will be 100 pts shy of getting the final milestone. Thats crap. And if scopely is counting any of the ranked events as being included as ones counting for points, then that’s even worse. Almost every ranked event is pay to win.
They provided 100 pts extra.... most finished it yesterday
Hola, me podrían recomendar algún servidor con contenido de STFC en Español?
It's even better than that, you're 100 points short even if you didn't miss a single event.
I didn’t get any extra points. And now i just had 2 sisko shards get removed after the games crashed yet again. Had just opened an epic dominion mada chest which gave me the shards, enough to promote him. Game crashed and now they are gone. Bs!
I'm lvl 38 does anyone know how and we're I start to find the mission for deep space
It's part of the gold-bordered mission chain that you already have. Just continue pushing the one that's both not combat training and not building.
What do u mean gold borders I have been trying for like a few days to find the mission
The bottom one has a gold border on it.
I figured it out thank u I need to get my commendation rank6 from the feds it's in yellow
Y'all need to get your CS timing right
Quick question, a level 30 in my alliance asked what level ships (reds) to kill to see Horizon bps drops, I’ve since forgotten (seems light years ago since then). TIA
It takes 72 hours to get a response then you close the ticket because I couldn't respond in 30 minutes during the middle of the work day?
You guys should have made PvE only servers for those who fear PvP.. good lord there are so many freakin babies
The ppl at scopely need to update the rewards on daily events for G4 players and G3 think it’s way past due. What ppl gonna do with the milestones and barely any rewards. We all don’t have the kumari anymore. Ppl need to update rewards milestones please
I don't know if this is the right place to share this but I am pretty much quitting playing STFC. I've been playing for a couple of years, have spent in the high £x,xxx on my account, but I can't ignore the fact the game simply isn't fun to play any more.
All the extra loops and grinds have made the time commitment needed to play "efficiently" just ridiculous. The developers clearly have no respect for people's time, even if you are a P2W player. You have to spend huge amounts of both money and time to make even marginal progress once you hit the lvl 40s and it is simply not fun.
Even stripping away the extraneous stuff, the simple costs of progress (thousands of g4 mats and billions in rss) to do even the smallest upgrades (like one level of a defence platform) when compared to the rate at which those resources are handed out is ridiculous. It takes months of play to get anything remotely close to what you need, and what's worse is that the "value" of pack contents is abysmal at higher levels. A single t6 upgrade on a g4 ship costs multiple £90 packs.
Even worse, the game is riddled with errors, bugs and legacy issues that haven't been fixed in years and are clearly never getting fixed. So many simple, basic QoL fixes that have been requested for ages just have never materialised. The lag is virtually a fact of life in-game now, load issues, display issues, huge amounts of "Mission critical" errors have crept in over time.
I'm sad to say goodbye to a game and a community I've come to really enjoy, but I have enough chores in real life.
I get that maybe for some it's an addiction, for others is because they can afford to, and for others it's just a bit of casual spending. But it baffles me why people pump money on this game.
Scopely are blinded by greed and will never change their ways or even think about genuinely improving the game when they are getting rewarded for minimal effort (same old repetitive content released under a different name), way too many loops and currencies and arguably incompetent coding with all the bugs and issues this game has.
I agree with the previous post and suspect there will be a lot of people who follow suit, given the pointless grind and unnecessarily slow progress without spending.
Shame really, because it was once a fun game to play and didn't feel like a money-grabbing chore.
Three years worth of time and effort in this game. There only so much extremely poor customer service/satisfaction people will tolerate. Not quite ready to throw away years of effort just yet, but that time will come if things don't improve.
Not sure why I am seeing the Vorta Vor skin pack….
This is for admin I don’t understand how a player can hit me four days in a row UPC and I called him a bad name, and I get banned for two days from chat. This player must be one of your whales that spends a lot more money than me, just saying.
ROE is a player construct not a Scopely rule. This game is a PVP game so that is allowed. If you used a foul name, that is actually breaking Scopely rules.
So protecting the whales is scopely‘s rule, right it’s a crock as long as you spend a lot of money you can play how you want to
Not sure how that is protecting the whales but you do you, commander. ROE isn't a rule that scopely created so they are under no obligation to enforce it. ROE is handled by the players/admirals. Harassment or breaking the players code of conduct is something that Scopely will enforce. I've been hit many times UPC. It's an allowable mechanic in Scopley's game.
“Mining is dangerous”
That’s the problem. It shouldn’t be if your UPC.
Calling people bad names in game is against ToS and depending on how bad. It can lead to anything up to and including an account ban
Blah, blah, blah, let’s protect the whales they spend all the money and that’s what we want is money
Scopely made the game how they wanted it. Players made ROE to make it more enjoyable. Scopely does not need to enforce ROE. Only their ToS
Scopely also hardly enforce their tos. So yeah
Boils down to how much money is spent. I've seen them ban over such trivial things and then in others cases where players admitted point blank in in-game pm's that they use bots and it screwed up is the reason why their warship randomly attacked some skinny miner on a node and they did nothing over that.
I wont talk about the TOS, but you should have a discord server that handles your roe @muted fox. The game is free for all, and some servers decided to introduce the ROE to make diplomacy easier, but its up to your server, not Scopely. What Scopely gave you is a mechanic that protects some of your resources called protected cargo. The rest is up to the community and no game does more than that in that respect.
So if they hit me while I am under the protected cargo level, then they’re at fault correct so why won’t they do something about a level 55 player attacking a level 43 player who is under the protected cargo limit it’s all the money game money, money, money, money, money……
No. If they hit you under the protected cargo, means you get to keep the resources you had collected up to that point. Thats all it means. Upc doesnt make it illegal game wise. Only your servers community rules which have nothing to do with game mechanics.
Spending has nothing to do with hitting upc. That’s an player interaction thing, not a $ thing.
You’re kidding right it’s all the money, money, money money thing. Why do you think Scopley lets level 55 players hit level 43 players it’s all about the money spent and protecting the whales that spend it. Thats what it’s all about. Scopley doesn’t give a crap about me as a player because I don’t spend a whole lot of money.
The problem is the pvp player banding, not the upc vs opc. Scopely isnt going to change anything there (and shouldnt). What needs to change are the power bands - smaller pvp bracketing to make it more competitive and closer to a real pvp experience. A 60 can hit a 39.... its insanity when a 500mil ship rolls up to a 6mil ship. Scopely wants this to be a pvp game, but they implemented it so poorly that players have created a layer of server rules to make it actually enjoyable. Pvp is fun when I am battling someone in a similar power level.
Its not the first or the last sci fi game with those parameters. Go play EVE Online. Thats why you are part of an alliance, to learn from others and borrow their strength also.
It's no different then an ops 30 hitting a 22. It's not a $ issue. Don't blame $. Blame PVP banding. It's not going to change. You'll have to get used it it. While it's unfortunate there's an ops 55 playing punching down, it's not against TOS in a PVP game. Using certain language is a violation of TOS.
Same stuff different day might just go find me another game or something. This is ridiculous.
Oh, and by the way, I do know it’s a money thing because when I used to spend $300 or $400 a month on this game never had a problem, now that I only buy the BP every month issues have started arising
here is an idea - push an in game news for incursions. part timers dont know jack. Use what tools you have...
I don't think Scopely sent a Bounty Hunter after you because you stopped spending $200-$300 a month. Maybe you should as that guy why he's hitting you?
This not a PvP game. There's nothing authentic about its competitive combat elements. The only authentic competition in the game is its measure of how much money a participant is capable and willing to spend and the time they're willing to waste engaging in events with predetermined outcomes based solely on their cash spent. Those who spent the most always win. Skill and talent beyond the basic understanding of what they want you to spend money on is not required. In most events, players do not have to compete as one can simply purchase the desired item. How can that be authentic? Players are paying purely for the fantasy of being real competitors. The leaderboard stats have been intentionally designed to hide artificial stat inflation. The game makes it trivially easy to cheat by dropping and raiding, engaging in PVP with your own, or deliberately destroying those who've paid less with no possibility of losing. Not to mention doing nothing to inhibit bots performing some of these tasks automatically. Stats should display players' and alliances' gains and losses and the rewards for hitting weaker players should be dramatically lower to help prevent the chicanery. Every level you ascend these stats becomes a more direct measurement of players' / alliances' assets and willingness to waste time and to bleed money. It's an authentic competition for the wealthy class to be seen as top dog. Everyone else is tangentially playing around that underlying reality. On our server this basic truth has sunk in and it has made the game utterly boring. I envy the f2p/dolphins. They seem like the only players who authentically enjoyed the game for what most players thought it was.
Hey, i have "Orion Corvette" Researched and maxed.
in Field Training its not completed
Make jem hadar give same exp that faction hostiles do
Make Defiant shards accessible in the same way as other ship shards for other factions
This is a bad road to go down. When you can't even get on the leader board unless you pay for it. Many people are being laid off of work or have their IRA value plummeting. We have purchased many things from this company. And they turn around and stab us in the back when we can't even get into the top 100. Can't get ANY REWARDS from this Garbage Mission. 👎
Didn't have to pay for nothing...withhold 1 week of directives...
Is it me or the gold trophy event store was taken down?
Nevermind found it in the alliance store. Why is it in there no clue.
It's always been there
@royal solar It’s gone midnight in the UK, an hour or two later in mainland Europe…much too late to be announcing our Incursion is today!!
I announced the dates last week! This is a reminder. 🙂
The specific dates for each server, weren’t given, just the date range….
Cerritos? It's not tuesday
The specific date was given
Oh no, I’ve got my days mixed up…I guess we’re lucky it’s just CoW and not Faction Hunt this time
It doesn’t clash with Cerritos event
Just very very curious……. Maintenance…… does it mean new currency, new stuff to buy, brand new bugs to support the old ones……… or scopely by some miracle fixing some of the issues for a change like game crashing every 5-10 min, lagging that makes the game unplayable. I have no high hopes that scopely would fix anything after 4 years but i keep hoping that someone finally realized at scopely that perhaps a happy customer is a costume who stays longer playing instead of quitting one by one. So which is it?
It’s the server merge maintenance’s
It's a merge maintenance. To merge server. With some glue and scotch tape
Well I can’t remember any kind of maintenance from scopely that didn’t included some kind of “ screwups “. So perhaps it was a stupid question but as we all know there will be trouble. Just a suggestion, perhaps maintenance should be called RED ALERT….. shield up……
Glue and Scotch tape sounds accurate🤣
Please look into and repair officer SNW La’an Noonien Singh’s lower deck ability. It’s broken. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. Time to fix it.
Starbase assault mechanics sûck. An alliance with whales can completely clean out a smaller alliance, which has no means to fight back or retaliate. Terrible balance in this aspect of the game.
If a whale alliance sees a smaller alliance starbase out mining, (which they have to do since they got cleaned out the last time) there’s literally no way to prevent them from cleaning out everything. So it’s a catch-22 for smaller alliances. You have to have the starbase out mining since the bigger alliances keep taking everything, but having it out mining is exactly what leaves it vulnerable to attack.
The defending alliance should be able to send ships, all of them, to join up with the starbase and form a “counter armada” that will fight with the starbase. Then smaller alliances would at least have a chance to stand up to the whales.
@prime socket that’s kind of what you do during an assault except you try and fight off the enemy armada, however it needs to be more balanced either the mechanic needs to be fixed where it’s like a regular Armada and it’s based on ACC how many player ships can join or the defending alliance gets boosts based on Starbase lvl to try and defend against the assault’s in order to allow them to stand a chance against whales. However unless they bring back the Assaults Event in a future Battlepass or more likely Incursion most Alliances are letting the Starbase fall to the wayside due to a badly executed mechanic.
My alliance starbase is deployed for 20 seconds while i start the next building upgrade. Other than that, it remains hidden and undeployed.
@woeful nymph our alliance has done upgrades but as far as having our starbase deployed and mining after the last DS9 Arc and having it attacked we haven’t had it deployed to often, and seldom run cardaassian armadas anymore.
My Wishlist for changes!
Gameplay
1- Add refinery efficiency research/favor/etc; reduce raw materials necessary for refines
2 - Add general loot rate exos that can be used for things like ship parts
3 - add additional sourcing for minor commendations (badge related ones) and indy credits
4 - change Starbase assault firing pattern so that one ship is not instantly killed
5 - add consistent sourcing for dax, bashir, odo and strike teams officers; add some of the older officers to transporters including some rares.
User interface related
1 - refine/claim all for refinery/chests; allow player set default preferences.
2 - add ability to hide items in faction stores
3 - make chests/event more consistent in the ui placement; examples: move daily warp tokens to borg refinery, move tetryon/orb splinters to support refinery.
4 - clean up event menu ui; reduce scrolling, make interface similar to refits menu
5 - move "home" button down by galaxy/system button, give exos its own line that shows when next exo expires
6 - fix bug where exos occupy multiple slots
7 - fix stuck/missing hostile bug
How do you deal with people who actually curse and insult in GC and PMs (beside blocking them)?
and then batter them to within an inch of their digital lives
@tacit obsidian Can we, at some point, maybe stoo getting blueprints for common 1* and 2* ships and maybe just supplant them with ship XP instead? Kehras and Vahklas are a bit useless to me at this point.
Or at the very least be able to ‘refine’ those BPs some how?
That might benefit those that have no idea it's coming since there was no in game announcement. There needs to be an in game news announcement a few days before that stays there. Not everybody is on Discord etc @tacit obsidian @royal solar
Not everyone is, but there is enough. If your alliance has been completely mum about Incursions, then something is seriously wrong with your leadership.
I can send 5 messages out an hour and people still forget to shield. For some reason the in game news reminder notice seems to help them more
Can't fix stupid sometimes. The amount of messages I posted ingame and on discord about not exchanging broken rods for a desealing rod unless you plan on using it on that lockbox and I think in total 3 or 4 have wasted them so far
Then that is on your people for ignoring you and AC/GC, not you.
What are the official rules on someone having multiple accounts on the same server? anyone know?
Pretty sure it is one account per device in general for any account situation.
Cyber luck token
@tacit obsidian How about where our inbox is for battle logs, we have a list of every mission? if it is complete then the locate button is greyed out, otherwise it will take us to the current step in the mission like the current locate button does.
The merger of Server 81 into 78 is absolutely a cluster, every promos made has not even begun to happen, leaderboard still a mess and has been since the last incurrsion, at least a dozen zero alliances , with power points, this was shoved down out throats without even so much as what do you think, but alas we mean nothing we are just the paying players, the players experience just went into a black hole
I need to be in an alliance to run a SOLO armada? Dumbest thing ever
They must be alerted, you're doing a solo!
@woeful nymph somehow I have two accounts under the same name, didn’t know until I was on discord and saw one logged out, apparently happened when I couldn’t login into my account had to delete game and reinstall and start over as a new player then was able to link accounts to get my old account back. But that’s a not the same thing as what are obviously players playing on multiple alts on multiple accounts, there are several on our server you can tell that they are alt accounts of other players because of how they interact with others (cause chaos in game) they use alts so their won’t be a server war with their alliance
There is about to be a galactic server war on 78, because of this merger
$$Copely, you never FAIL to disappoint when handing out FREE gifts: 1900Quantum tokens for 5 Uncommon Gas! WELL DONE.
So once again every spender in my level range who has a Pilum gets another massive boost with this interceptor focused winter special when you couldn't even give us an explorer based treasury along with Weyoun.
I have chosen my own path, I don't appreciate being punished for not having a Pilum or an interceptor as my main ship
No, no Scopely. This is just being way too generous. I’ll try not to spend the 3 recruit tokens in one place. 🤣
is ther coming events to get incursion coins ?
They fixed that already now it shows officers
mine is there so try restart discord
Expand the category.
Oops my fault 
Thx for the advise 😵💫
