Can we look at ship XP. i know there have been a number of researches to increase this and a number of officer crew setups with xp in mind, but it doesn't really touch the side of what is needed for any of the G4 epic ships past say level 40. We have alot of specialty ships in particular that unless you burn a mass of lat they're effectively stuck

[gleaming nebula]

You need to raid more 😜

[chilly siren]

Grind in eclipse space. 20k/kill for me and I haven't even done all the research and that's without an exo. Only ships that can't really do it are surveys

[jovial edge]

So stfc.space worked GREAT until scopley took it over.

[grave quest]

first off: i love how there were many tiers in the “recruit doc sms for spending mats” with really good payouts. this made loosing the slb much less painful! please keep this up!
a wish: please make the rare armada cores easier to get. the hoops you need to jump through to get them are not justifiable. it’s honestly insane.

[gritty stirrup]

Is that Syndicate event RIGHT??? Quenn on 1st and Tall after 2nd???

[hoary estuary]

You really have to do something about events. Lost yet another event because you folks don’t update scores in time.

[blazing panther]

and that's how a lvl 45 f2p treasury looks like.
Shameful if compared to a lower level that just spent a very minimal amount of money.
Just to let u know. #NotAF2PGame

Merry Lagfest! ⏳

they just pulled the syndicate event after i put a mantis refine into it !

[hoary estuary]

I’d also like to know when you plan to update alliances powers correctly?

[lean tapir]

Battle Pass mining event appeared, then disappeared after I had already completed it. Are we seriously going to have to complete it twice?

[tropic sinew]

Lag is so bad right now, I tell my ship to attack 1 red, then come back in like 5 minutes to see how it all went ....

[jade patio]

It was broken. Giving out flashpass points instead of battlepass.

[untold stone]

Good lord, can you do 1 event reset where the servers don't die?

[pseudo wadi]

Where's my battle pass points and why is event gone?

[craggy egret]

Someone forgot to feed the hamsters

[hoary estuary]

Also would like to know what you are doing about botters. Main alliance on our server uses it and cheat on events with that. I even gave the proofs of the discord bot server they use

[remote grail]

Syndicate advancement not working. Doesn't count points 👀

[pseudo mulch]

Redeem chests taking resources and not paying out

[nova sierra]

Why do we put up with this game not working properly so frequently? One of life’s great mysteries.

[hoary estuary]

Guys when are you going to spend our money spent in servers

[pseudo mulch]

No the out of country retreat homes come first

Dear game designers:

I am a recently new L28 player and decided to check my solo leaderboards to see what I need to do and who I gotta beat; I'm thinkin "maybe I'll be competing with L31's, tops L32's". Nope! First place shows an L49. 😮 Seriously? That's so not fair - it's impossible to compete with! 😕 So I check the other leaderboards, and the results are similarly unfair. 😡

🤷‍♂️ Well, I guess I won't bother trying to get anywhere on the leaderboards, they're now useless events...

[rich grove]

paramount needs to sell rights to other gaming company...

[cedar kiln]

Fix. The. Lag.

[tepid bramble]

That is the whole game man. I would recommend walking before you truly reach “sunken costs”. It doesn’t get any better. Either you pay through the nose or you get trampled over. There is no middle ground.

[undone ginkgo]

Fix the lag!!!!

[cold sphinx]

Did Scopely not feed the server hamsters? Lag is horendous

[tropic sinew]

New $100 "Lag reduction pack" incoming.

[vale falcon]

Can we get around to fixing sourcing for officers like this please

[cerulean sandal]

Dude, I understand your frustration with the game's power pyramid scheme. Players are pushed to buy expensive packs to compete with higher-level players believing they will actually gain on them. However, those level 49 players this player is up against are experiencing the exact same process of repeated payments, so paying more would only offer a transient benefit, like a fix that makes you want to do it again until the next event.

This creates a lose-lose situation for players who can't or won't keep spending. It's an unfair playing field where those with more money gain a significant advantage. While this benefits the owners of the game in the short term, it undermines the gaming experience and leads to player dissatisfaction, except for that subset of individuals who seem to take a deviant pleasure in using money to dominate others.

The game has become a never-ending cycle, where paying players progress while others struggle. It's understandable how difficult it is to leave the game for many who have already invested heavily and feel trapped, as sustained advantage only comes from constant pack purchases.

In my opinion, games should find ways to be fair and enjoyable for all, regardless of financial capacity. Relying on such a monetization model harms the community and discourages players seeking balanced competition.

Having found myself trapped in this cycle myself, I strongly suggest you consider exploring games that prioritize fairness and don't heavily favor paying players. Look for games that align with your values and offer a more enjoyable and equitable experience.

[ionic void]

And thats just for the first level lag reduction 😂

[onyx shoal]

I've been playing for a long while now I've never paid to play and I'm doing just fine.
Find you a good Alliance and play smart. That's all there is too not paying.

[pastel path]

Actually if u set aside the desire to be number one. And just do your own thing. There is fun to be had in this game. Do the armadas your interested in shoot for the ships you want etc. It doesn't have to be a race.

[tepid bramble]

Dude, I AM that level 49 who wishes I would have had someone say what I said to him, when I was ops 28 🙄. Though I will say, it is getting easier everyday scopy does this crap to pull away and say screw it 😉 the game is nothing but diminishing returns and punishing advancement, all while being surrounded by state sanctioned bullying by wallet warriors. You either invest (time or money) to stay afloat, or you waste time better spent elsewhere;-)

[flint haven]

Hey Scopely... How in the world do you think this is even close to fair? Any response.. or are we just going to get the deaf ear on this? @tacit obsidian ?

[zinc swan]

Fog of war on g4/g5 token mining systems is outrageously frustrating...

[rigid spruce]

Am I alone in the constant crashes playing on an iPhone? It seems to have gotten even worse since the last update

[tropic crown]

@tacit obsidian what the heck was the point of that free gift chest scopley just put out for 10 whole regular recruit tokens? I mean what, why? Its pointless.

[jade patio]

What a slap in the face. Ten recruit tokens. That’s more in the way of an insult than a comp gift.

[tepid bramble]

@tacit obsidian Hey, if this for me wasting my time holding on to my battle pass rewards to use the syndicate xp, and then have a abait and switch, then have them not count. Brother you can have these back. If scopy is that cheap that this is the best they can up with, man, you guys MUST need it more than me. I mean a 4 hr chest gives a better reward, and quicker. Either miserly or tone deaf, but hey, what. Else. Is. New. 🤨

[vale wasp]

If you've only opened one chest, then you're not done. The first chest was for the mining bp event. The 2nd chest is for syndicate.

[gleaming nebula]

What kind of compensation chest is this? Hilarious

[tepid bramble]

You mean this one? They were BOTH the same. 10 recruit tokens. Absolutely worthless. Not even worth logging in for. (You are correct sir, they fixed the score, I stand corrected).

[vale wasp]

Because they aren't comp chests. They are score repairing chests. Once you've opened both, check your events for your pts.

[potent shard]

I opened compensation chest and it's exactly that a whopping 10 tokens. Worthless

[uneven valve]

10 standard recruit tokens…wasn’t worth the calories spent opening it….absolutely disgusting….next time just don’t

[gritty stirrup]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar theres need to be an announcement about the underground Syndicate points on the Opsie chest. You dont get Syndicate faction reputation just event ppoints and those has no "form" tha's why the chest is 10 recruit tokens.

[next haven]

These recruit tokens are as insulting as tipping a server a penny.

[gritty stirrup]

"about the underground Syndicate points on the Opsie chest" do u wana me to write it in protuguese fron Brazil? Maybe use google translation. Oh maybe u dont understand the "underground" part... it means its a rewards u cant see caus eit has no "form" in game.

[worn pasture]

Yes this same delivery mechanism was something used to correct ASB ALB points in December.

[compact terrace]

So.... im going to come at this in a somewhat different light...

if you MESS UP after 4+ years of hosting this game BADLY.... and you expect me to press a button to fix the fact that you messed up AGAIN (at least once a week and sometimes once a day).... you better give me 800 Ultra recruit tokens, for screwing up YET AGAIN... if you expect me to fix your mistake by accepting a "compensation chest" that outwardly looks like a slap in the face to the user community, without the context of an #⭐-official-announcements message.

Oh well... one can dream....

Scopely.. Im really tired of your ineffective communication, and unwillingness to actually tell the community that you don't know what you are doing regularly.

[nova sierra]

Not sure what this compensation chest was for, but I feel like I need a compensation chest for this compensation chest.

By the way, with maxed syndicate, I'm getting screwed out of the opportunity to get more officer shards available to everyone else.

please at least grease my 🥔 before frying it. That's a potato.

Ask a hobbit.

[devout blaze]

More of the same tone deaf, obliviousness. Instead of calling it a compensation chest how about we label it what it really is, an incompetence chest.

[fleet leaf]

Please run an event for Strike Team La’an. It’s been months.

[gleaming nebula]

Let’s delete strike team entirely and go back to old school pvp where you need some crew knowledge instead of “ pvp crew for dummies “

[vale wasp]

Those who've maxed syndicate usually get a replacement event. Today's was an armada-themed one with odo/tal shards as a reward.

[crisp wren]

☠️ event compensation?

[vale wasp]

There's a score repairing fix in that chest that applied to either the mining bp or the syndicate event today. After opening all of your chests, your pts should be where they should be for these events.

[tawdry vault]

For what exactly are the special present 10 recruit tokens for? Is this a specual kind of joke?

[nimble root]

I’m glad someone took a screenshot, I dismissed it too fast. Couldn’t believe that was a legit comp chest 🤦🏼‍♂️

[thorny burrow]

can't say "black hole" in spanish because of racism, imagine having a game of a space themed franchise and not being able to mention black holes...

[wintry kite]

How can the lag be this bad and there be nothing happening

[flint haven]

Sloppy coding.

[kind vale]

This compensation is an insult

[pliant crow]

Anyone else get the most useless compensation chest ever? 10 standar recruit tokens…… half of a single chest for shards of officers I stopped using 3 years ago. I opened a single chest out of interest to the value of the compensation on offer, baring in mind that’s 20 tokens so the ‘gift’ was half the outcome
I got 1320xp so that reward was equal to 660xp
I would rather they didn’t even bother because that’s just insulting us customers to go to all that effort for such little value, really shows what they think of us doesn’t it?!

[nova sierra]

It was a points correction, but the points aren’t visible.

[pliant crow]

It says compensation chest. As in it compensating for a mistake made by a low quality product filled with lag, bugs and coding errors. The points correction was merely a correction but notion of compensation chest for yet another mistake (which should not still be happening as other pointed out) should not be a complete insult to us customers who are struggling with a sub standard product with yet another mistake that requires correcting. The background points are not a compensation they are a correction of a mistake. The compensation for the sun standard performance was 10 recruit tokens which in my case equates to 660 officer xp.

[nova sierra]

I’ll pass on that it would be preferred to call it a Points Correction bundle.

[pine hare]

Attraction of unprecedented generosity!
Honestly, it's better not to compensate at all than to distribute such crap.
It just looks pathetic.

[pliant crow]

You should be a politician with that spin if that’s your take from all the complaints here!
The issue is everyone is sick of very poor this quality product and when mistakes are made on top of that that actually require a chest it would be better to acknowledge your customers for putting up with it and sticking with it rather than put an insult joke in there.

[mild hemlock]

Please read other posts about it and our replies that clarify what it was for.
Would be very much appreciated.

[mild hemlock]

The content of the chest was so that the correction could take place for the event. If there was no content then there would be no correction.
It’s bound in the mechanics of the game.

[pliant crow]

Thanks for pointing out the obvious that I that I have already acknowledged in my comments. As I said the correction is the result of yet another coding error in a low quality product filled with lag, bugs and coding errors. When you have to make a correction yet again for peddling a very poor quality product which people are paying a lot of money to use a compensation mechanism should not be something that garners a response like you have here. It’s an insult and shows the value placed on us customers. But complaining on here, despite this being the official discord is a bit like complaining about your president with a comment on their Twitter feed I guess. Might as well write it on a toilet paper and wipe with it.

[pliant crow]

They had no meeting 😂 they just took a 5 second break from counting the money

[frail latch]

10 recruit tokens?! Is it April 1st again?

[worldly kernel]

This is a necessary evil

[molten river]

I don't know why Scopely gave the compensation.... Was it because they ran out of toilet paper?😒

[nova sierra]

It's not a replacement event, it's an event that runs tandem.

[nova sierra]

It is indeed a replacement; scheduled alongside, but intended as a replacement as the syndicate one is impossible when you’ve maxed Syndicate as you mentioned 🙂

Criteria to get it are maxed Syndicate

[pallid jackal]

10 recruit tokens 😄 Scopely really is just out there insulting all of us lmao

[molten river]

They really insult us every day, only today they didn't have much imagination or desire🤣

[icy lintel]

@tacit obsidian & @royal solar can you confirm what’s happening to stfc.space since it was taken over by scopely.
The site was a great resource for players and it’s not working as it should e.g. it’s not possible to search missions by reward and longer (just one example of many).
I’ve contacted support and been told that scopely are affiliated with stfc.space but do not run it, however my understanding was that scopely would maintain and update this valuable player resource. Looking forward to a reply.
Thanks in advance.

[nova sierra]

They may not be listening, but I sure did. LLAP 🖖🏻 and I hope whatever you go on to do brings you joy.

[quiet steppe]

I think the main lesson to be learnt from all this greed and the blatant contempt shown for the F2P and small spending players in this massively unfair and unbalanced game is - never play or buy anything that has the name Scopely on it ever again.

[old seal]

10 Recruitment tokens is a punishment for playing this game, Scopely are actually telling us something useful 😂😂

[viscid shell]

Thanks for the kind words. It certainly makes me sad, and it's always giving up on something that used to be fun. And still could be with only "a few" little tweaks, but those tweaks never came by. Joy I will find, I'm sure, thanks! 🤗

[bold urchin]

You honestly think those 10 tokens was compensation..ya nugget 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[true zealot]

Dolomide is gonna need a f2p option.. will it take 2 to 3 years, def.. but it gives the grinders something and those who pay $$ justification for a shorter grind.

Prime xp multi tier..but there's the madlad option of grinding like crazy as well.

How hard to is it for CMs to just mention a wait and see, or fixes are in the works? Silence is deafening. Eco and Bek have been nonexistent the past 3 months short of standard monthly notifications and common oopsie fixes. No state of games or contacts with streamers for community information? Afraid of what you're gonna hear?

[true zealot]

I expect a goodbye note from a major-minor streamer...the random player ones?

[gritty stirrup]

and we wanted

[final plinth]

Two players of ours (ops 58 and 49) had their accounts deleted today. Reasons given were the new parts primes, how they were announced and how they were launched. I personally (ops 49) find them also very offensive. Especially the announcement felt like kick in the teeth, when wording was chosen like "listening to feedback" and presenting a "solution" that requires up to 1200 $ / € spent. I agree that costs have to reduce over time. That can be done by giving more parts (e.g. Bajor Solo Armadas) or having the costs reduced (e.g. [prime-]research). Launching such a massive reduction just several weeks after launching a prime that reduces also ship parts without communicating any long term acquisition part for players that don't want to spend on that prime really makes me very sad. These researches belong in the Ex-Borg tree, with the option for spenders to progress them faster.

[fallen epoch]

It’s a placeholder item so you could get the missing scoring.

[pliant crow]

Despite the insulting content isn’t there meant to be 2 I have only received one. Of course I wouldn’t need to ask if they had bothered their a**e to let us know what they messed and how it’s getting fixed!

[fallen epoch]

Depends if you were affected. Syndicate XP and BP event were the only 2 with corrected scoring

[final plinth]

I was not affected, however got credited syndicate XP in the gift the previously registerred in the event and was also present when I got it back

[fallen epoch]

I don’t follow

[lime socket]

They actually comp’ed more points than I lost out on, which was nice.

[final plinth]

Scored for the event -> Scores register in the event -> Event gets pulled -> Event comes back with still showing all points. A gift comes around that awards me the amount of points that I have scored previously in the event, doubling up my score.

I believe they ran a DB query that selected all syndicate XP spent from event reset to relaunch of the event and gifted that to players, no matter if it was scored while the event was still up or pulled.

[weak grove]

but they obviously have time to make stupid videos reading the update news to us every month. on of the most stupid things, as if we can't read ourselves... 🤦‍♂️

[old seal]

I said punishment, not compensation 😂

[pliant crow]

It’s just yet another big embarrassing saga of yet another embarrassing mess made by the devs. Only it’s us that feel embarrassed on their behalf as they appear to have no shame or embarrassment in the product or the standards of said product.
We all know this game is merely an interface to take payments but you could at least humour us and make us feel like we are valued and not just battery chickens being farmed for eggs.

@viscid shell leaving is a prime example. I’m on her server and we have always seen eye to eye in game (tbf we haven’t always not done too) but she is one of the nicer and more genuine people on the server who put a hell of a lot into it and will be a big loss to our dwindling server.
Part of the problem is a lot of our big spenders have left but scopely don’t realise as their accounts are still active. I’m real terms our top 50 has only about half with their own accounts. Scopely would notice more if these big players all deactivated accounts instead of passing them on

[true zealot]

I mean.. arcfall read is cool..I'm usually at work when this stuff drops. Granted it's usually dj or nowanshall with the clutch patch notes

[fallen epoch]

Sounds like a bug. Everyone was reset to 0 till they sent out the chest

[final plinth]

there have been plenty of reports that scores were kept in place, on this very discord.

[fallen epoch]

I’ll go back and check. Sounds strange but nice to know

[pliant crow]

A couple of years my server had a big cull of players who quit when the prime pvp damage pack was launched costing everyone who wanted to compete in pvp ~£89-£99 which we most bought. Once bought the overall impact of that money was absolutely nothing! Because everyone into pvp had the boost so we gained nothing except an even bigger gap over those not spending which, let’s be honest is already ridiculous!
Now they are doing the same but even bigger with 300% to damage but only against one ship type so you need all 3. For the top 100 players on our server who are buying them all, they have gained nothing at all only now it’s easier for their G5 to dessimate a little G4 or G3 even. Now it’s these new primes as well, and scopely say they listened….. 🤷🏻‍♂️ it’s baffling how they think that’s good content to keep people interested.

[crude cosmos]

Same for me as well, my score returned when the event was republished and I had my old score, the 10 standard recruit tokens just doubled my score.

[magic sedge]

remember scopely was purchased - so the new overlords need to squeeze everyone for $$

[vale falcon]

As the Borg refinery is a relatively new, can we look at a potential exchange for these at say a 5:1 ratio so these don't just take up inventory space

[pliant crow]

Which in itself is yet another useless mechanic. Give us those exos to boost vidar loot, then give us a newer vidar that they don’t work on….. but it’s ok because of the bargain price of £99 you can get a prime to boost its loot 🤷🏻‍♂️

[crimson blade]

Compensation gift.... more a compensation joke 🤣 🫣
You are just hilarious Scopely....

[fallen epoch]

It’s just a placeholder item so they can give you the missing points

[heavy marten]

Fingers crossed we get release notes for M54.1.0. ☺️🫰

[lime socket]

Interesting. Mine worked differently, I pulled bp rewards and the 400 daily I get while the original event was still up, but they didn’t score at all, so I stopped to see if it was lag, then the event disappeared. When it came back my score was still zero. The comp chest didn’t just restore my xp that didn’t score though, it gave me 50k points when I was missing 17500.

[solid jay]

Game stability is getting out of hand. I have had to reload my game 3 time in 3 minutes because I can't click on anything on the screen. And that is far from the only issue. Please fix your issues.
1: Paramount continually provides quality product and they are a benchmark in the industry that has won countless rewards.
2: Scopley gets paid big time. Put your money into your business so that you may live up to Paramount's reputation. Currently, I would not hire anyone who put Scopley on their resume.
Be professionals who not only talk about being proud of being part of this game but also show us how proud they are by ensuring the quality recive is of a benchmark quality. Right now... I would be embarrassed if I was Scopley.

[true zealot]

Lemme guess, using ios?

[fallen epoch]

IPadOS probably. IOS is fairly stable

[tribal otter]

Something is wrong here and deffo has nothing to do with ship upgrades @brittle crescentelopers

[gleaming nebula]

Ios isn’t stable at all, neither ipad or iPhone.

[fallen epoch]

You are looking at the wrong research. The packs are correct

[fallen epoch]

Check station tree

[fallen epoch]

IOS is significantly more stable than IPad OS doesn’t mean it’s perfect. Just it’s better

[tribal otter]

👍yup found it thank you

[gleaming nebula]

Well if crashing every few min means stability is ok then we can agree on it

[heavy marten]

There are two binaries for iOS and iPadOS?

iOS and iPadOS are stable, its the game app on these products that is unstable.

[gleaming nebula]

Just this is how stable the game runs on ios is, the gaps of more then 1 min are where game was crashing.

[nova sierra]

So, the gap? 👀

[heavy marten]

And with crashing you mean, the game app closing without a notice? And you are back on home screen?

[fallen epoch]

Game acts differently on both OS but I do remember back in IOS 15 there was a few months where the OS was having loads of crash issues generally.

[gleaming nebula]

Yes, close down and I’m back on my main phone screen. Even tested by starting the game and do nothing, few min later it’s just close down ( crashes)

[heavy marten]

The crashlog is in Settings > Dataprotection & Security > Analyse & Improvments > Analyse. Maybe a mod could pass the log to devs?

[crimson blade]

For which Event? 😵‍💫

[fallen epoch]

1 for Syndicate XP and 1 for BP event.

[heavy marten]

Yepp, there is a share sheet button in the top right corner. But I would ask mods first, 😬

Btw, the logs could contain personal data. I already know your iPhone model and the version of iOS you running. 🙈

[fallen epoch]

I’m going to remove those from here as there might be sensitive info

[fallen epoch]

No worries I figured 😅

[gleaming nebula]

No problem 😉

[fallen epoch]

You can PM me the log file and I can pass that on

[timid tartan]

¿Qué está pasando? Scopely está en una campaña importante de que todo funcione a través de las compras en la tienda, antes lo hacía pero de manera no tan intensiva, lo que afecta la entretención del juego.

Scopely is in an important campaign for everything to work through purchases in the store, before it did but not so intensively, which affects the entertainment of the game.

[old seal]

@fallen epoch would you be able to confirm that the strongest ship will be yielding the points as opposed to last time this event ran it was the weakest ship please?

[fallen epoch]

I believe it’s running identical to last time

In all aspects

Scoring and reward brackets

[solid jay]

I can't say enough about game stability right now. The glitches are getting rampant. Among the growing and already long list if issues is the time old complaint of lag. The number of times my pvp was interrupted due to lag or some other dumb glitch is insane, it has got the point players can take advantage to of your glitches to survive an attack... this comes back my way too. PLEASE FIX THE ENDLESS GLITCHES. thankfully you have been smart enough not to run incursions at this point. Get smarter and hire better software developers

[solid jay]

Let's play a game. You name a game feature and I will try to guess what glitch it has.

Here is a fresh new glitch for me. I am part of the Mada but the white triangle says I am not. This situation has also shown my ship as destroyed despite being in the Mada and having 100% health.

[frail latch]

Am I right I understanding these new prime researches are only available for 2 weeks worth of food? No chance to grind them right?

[molten iris]

every single time i collect something …

[gleaming nebula]

This are the players who needed strike team for pvp. No crew knowledge at all. But I might be mistaken 🤣

[true pivot]

With the news of the merger, i was going to leave the game behind right then and there. However I was convinced to at least give the game a trial period. I agreed. So I am going to stay with the game as I was asked by my alliance brothers and sisters, but if I feel I have lost everything we have worked for in the territory area, the game is by far not worth the effort if you are just going to take our hard work and throw it all away.

I’d like to know who feels the same way?

I know they are going to do this anyway because they don’t,listen to us but I’d like to know what’s others think about this merger system,,,,

[frail latch]

Isn't that a base defence crew that they've forgotten to swap out?

[waxen kite]

funny how they do stuff mainly basing it on a lie called "based on your feedback" im sure 90% of stuff they do are just based on profit and has nothing to do with what we want or think.... sad.

[solid jay]

Zoom! Yes that old problem. When are you going to fix the screen Zoom issues? Zoom often just stops working or completely malfunctions and only zooms when you try to scroll the screen up,down, left of right.... not trying to Zoom but it does it anyway. You will be hearing much more from me. I am tired of the unstable issues of this game. Get your acts together.

[viscid shell]

Unless you're enjoying lobsters and Kobe beef it is more like two months....

So what we all predicted would happen, happened. $copely turned sftc.space into sftc.💩

[rich pendant]

Yada yada announcement except even the Operations building simply doesn't load on stfc.space any more. Site is dead.

[gleaming nebula]

Just a suggestion, next time communication will save lot’s of unnecessary reports and work for the mod’s

[waxen kite]

they fix laan , small wins boys small wins...

[livid pasture]

Why…?

[crisp wren]

Soooooo glad I chose to not purchase anymore packs (especially the game breaking ones) for the foreseeable future. In game glitches are now becoming less of a concern to me. STFC.space not loading, no big deal! Summer time is here, got real life things to do other than waste time on a game that asks for THOUSANDS of dollars to be competitive. Ops 46-49, I can hold my own and coast. Why push into the 50’s and support a game company that can’t even integrate one website? Talk about red flags 🤣

[tame thicket]

I dont have all the story about stfc.space as im new to hearing about it, but just from the announcement why medle with something they didnt understand and actively push it? why not work on a model behind the scenes, find out all the kinks without changing a model that works

[acoustic cloud]

@tacit obsidian

You guys should be buffing the G4/G5 ship part primes to at least match the t5 primes of the new research.
Stand with the community, or don't and lose it.

[true zealot]

They can adjust artifacts when packs don't sell, god forbid they adjust the g4/g5 parts prime in ex borg...or yall already forgotten about those?

[next haven]

Sadly another update where issues brought up by the player base are completely ignored.

[lament scroll]

@tacit obsidian 100% the community needs to be made right with those purchases

[weak grove]

what about making it f2p? the new primes break the game. for me as mostly f2p, what reason do i possibly have to stay in they game now?
For fun? lol, it's scarce these days...

[slate chasm]

Once you come to terms with that this isn't a game but rather a framework for rinsing your wallet you understand their decisions. You can count on one hand the number of times Scopely has actually balanced their game like other "game" developers do, for free. All the systems implemented are designed in such a way where they can sell you a research in lieu of balance

[edgy harness]

What? 2-3 armada events running concurrently and demanding almost an all day grind to even get rewards from the events isn’t fun?

[shy oriole]

Ok so if I understand well scope bought the database and now it is full of bugs and english-only ? Just hire Ripper !
And you genius could not work on a copy while you were working on it ? Had to punish the whole community relying on that tool?

[winged wedge]

we need more regular/deep space armadas and higher chances for epics with higher respawn rates

[pulsar flame]

I concur! The respawn rates are atrocious and take way too long. Especially with so few.

[zinc swan]

I feel like the Cardascian weak point research requirements are just wrong. It's outrageously high compared to every other Starbase research.

[visual oar]

I’m so tired of the game crashing every 10 minutes every time there’s a new patch. It’ll get a little better the next couple weeks but then there’s another patch coming.

[solid jay]

I don't know what I would do without my phantom game notifications. Your alliance started an armada. Log in... no armada

[raw shoal]

Generql feedback is after new app game is totaly unstable

[nova sierra]

Fix iOS game stability and consistent server lag issues

[raw shoal]

Lagged as hell…

[next haven]

Fix pvp, lag, and source ALL primes better without spending. I say this knowing full well scopely will ignore it.

[vale wasp]

Contact CS if you believe the player has broken the ToS. #👽-how-to-contact-support

[toxic sinew]

A general period of nothing but bugfixes, bugfixes and more bugfixes would help a lot. Additionally ANY re-balancing so that the game can retain a healthy Free-To-Play status would be helpful. Lessening and reducing absurd wait timers; especially at later levels when interest may wane once one finds out they're walled by clocks would also be amazing.

I get the need for the occasional pack purchase here and there to speed things along but...things can be absurd

[fickle plank]

It would be nice when the La'an bug get's actually fixed

[vale wasp]

Today's patch fixed that.

[fickle plank]

Thanks, will check it out. I did not expect that it was related to the "Cloaking Beacons" research 😅

[nova sierra]

I can’t imagine they did which is probably why it took a while 😂

[trim isle]

If you have so much trouble running stfc.space then hire Ripper as an consultant for some time I'm sure he'd be happy to help in the transition

[fallen epoch]

He was there for months. Although I believe he can no longer do it as he now works for a rival

[trim isle]

Thx, I don't know all the details but what I read from his last post was that Scopely didn't renew his contract even though he would have been open to

[viscid shell]

Try last podcast by Feline of Nine, Ripper was sooooo fed up about this topic, my assumption is he'd rather be off coding world piece than to help again ... just my guess, though.

[trim isle]

Understandably so

[worldly kernel]

In his statement on his discord he says that the contract wasn't prolonged by Scopely, so bye bye support from the expert

[final plinth]

Ok now another G5 guy decided to join the club an delete his account for the very recent predatory pull of Scopes. If an official person wants to verify this I'm happy to provide server / alliance to them.

[fleet python]

Are you going to continue to make this game overcomplicated to the point you need a project management tool to play it effectively? Or is there any chance you might streamline the requirements rather than adding new currency and new hostiles for the sake of it every time you bring in a new arc? What about consolidating the way we claim our refines and gifts and stuff we’ve earned? Reducing the time to press buttons before you even get to play would be a massive bonus. I loved this game. For years. Congratulations on ruining it.

[urban delta]

This is a 100% P2W game so those vital prime researches can only be obtained from store and will cost hundreds of euros (maybe thousands?) to max.

[frail latch]

Oh I know. £89 in the UK. For space pixels that more often than not don't even work

[magic sedge]

are Dax and SNW Laan shards currently available in-game? I don't see a source for them.

[red cliff]

i would be happy if it just stops loading for multiple seconds between every single screen/menu change. bogs the game down so much

[viscid shell]

Avalanche on Server 139, too. A handful incl. myself from my former alliance alone and a dozen others from the other larger ones, too. Down it goes ... a pity.

[static umbra]

I see its "guess what the feckwits put in a patch" day again then???

[karmic meadow]

Seriously just make the scouts msg chest a guaranteed drop. Makes no sense to have such a rare ship and so many people looking for them.... and have a chance to not get the reward

[lost forge]

This is not cool. I keep losing exocomps and because they returned once, as a “ courtesy” now they will not return anymore. What a joke this game is. Fix the broken stuff and return to us was was lost not this load of garbage. 🙄

[rich pendant]

So, you fixed the Formation battle reports and now the chests don't appear (can't be claimed) in regular battle reports any more

[charred ravine]

About the new ships-cost efficiency primes and the exborg parts prime:

The issue: One paid 200 eur for the exborg primes, which give 50% ship parts efficiency on 4* and 5* parts.
That's barely 2 months ago. If the biling on my account was more clear, I could actually see when.
Now those 200 eur could buy 240% parts efficiency for all generation ships. This is disheartening, I feel ripped-off.

Proposal1: Increase the buff these ex-borg primes to match your own market price (from 50% to around 200-250%)

Proposal2: Give the players who own ex-borg primes a introduction discount/pack with more of the currency for the new prime. For example. get 240%-worth for 100Eur instead of 200Eur.

And generally, please AVOID devaluing your own customer's purchases.

In the next survey I know now what I will answer:

Did you feel you value for money for your last purchase?
Absolutely NO!!!

[fallen epoch]

Contact CS so they can collect data for a bug report

[nova sierra]

And by the way….3rd day in row 24h mining?

Respect scopley……it is an endurance test right? 🚴‍♂️?

I‘m so 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 GET YOUR 💩 DONE AND WRITE EVENTS IN THE EVENT LIST. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 30 shards of Riker 30 shards of Worf and rss for 🗑️ thx you if would work like scopley team I couldn’t afford anything here, I would be instantly fired

[gusty fractal]

can be possible someone doesn't know he must use a resource (officer XP, ship XP, building materials,...) only when there is an event? I think my experience in arcade games can be the reason but this is the first rule in every game....it's ok.

[jolly saddle]

We listened to your feedback

[rich pendant]

Sorry I'm not going over the maze that is creating a ticket - which scopely intentionally makes absurdly hard - so I can 'provide data' for them to do their own jobs and break something else in the game. My feedback has been given: test your product before releasing it. I'm not in a beta test server. I thought I was not playing a beta test game. I understand development is hard, but geez the quality is low. I'll just claim the chests from the Items tab.

[cunning oriole]

The biggest fail of the game is that just a couple of bullies can ruin the game for most of a server

[potent shard]

Two physical app updates in one day? Oh oh....

[static umbra]

Yet when you offer to provide them crash logs from the pc client thay ask what they are and why do we want/need them = feckin eejits 🤬

[solid jay]

We all deserve the most generous compensation pack ever. Lag like I have never seen it before. You set up a mining event but the lag on my surveys status means that my ship is often stuck. I can't move it recall it or even see if it's traveling. What the heck are yall doing?

[sacred garden]

When the borg events coming back for borg war funds?

[junior sierra]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar Has enough time passed for us to look forward to our grinders path for Prime Particle Keys, Weapon Prime Particles,  Prime Repair Particles, Faction Event Particles, Syndicate Prime Particles, Elite Recruit Prime Particle, Away Teams Particles, Swarm Prime Particles, Vi’dar Tailos Prime Particle, Pure Venom, Prime Medals, Ship Part Prime Particles, and of course the new [ frankly mandatory ] Dolomide. I may have missed some or mis-categorized, I’m only lvl 42 and cant see everything in research…

[tepid bramble]

I like your optimism, truly I do. However I do not share it. This company is the very essence of toxic capitalism. They take ideas for rewards (that THEY ASKED US FOR) and then put them put them in the pay store instead of the reward store. They have borked stfc.space, a necessary tool for those wanting to plot their course so that folks can actually plan and prepare. They want us ignorant and frustrated. They feel this is the best way to open our wallets. It works often enough that they have NO reason to do otherwise. They lied to us about making primes eventually f2p path. And they are quiet about it. Their ACTIONS speak volumes.

[pastel path]

@tepid bramble the key is "it worked often enough" as long as it does the rest doesn't matter

[tawdry swift]

Excellent job scopley, i have seen more people quit the game on the last month than all my years playing. Keep on the path your headed down and you'll only need 1 server😂 I hope your short term rewards are worth it.

[sacred garden]

They give 8 primes but only for tc prime nodes, yet they said at lvl 40 players will get primes intelligence all primes are done . I only see one prime being given for tc yet all the other primes are none existent and no prime rewards in the vault which supposedly was supposed to be. At rate of 8 primes for tc it will take over 20 yrs to get all primes

[cerulean wyvern]

Sure would be nice to see what missions you have completed.

[pastel path]

☝️

[forest prawn]

Just ask yourself the question. Does a ftp way to even old and outdated stuff provide them with money? No, they even have to put work in. That’s why we won’t see that! The same with sourcing pats for old officers, tons of useless materials/special tokens in your inventory slowing your inventory down and no unified currency for primes with slow ftp sourcing….which would make the game far better but…to tired to continue

[severe wren]

The ex Borg faction will ease mostly of that 😊 next to Bajo, this/those Tree is/are good 💜 Couse by time…but it will. And this ex Borg tree exactly gives you a roadmap. I’m okey with that. My personal opinion tho, but it gives me a view how I will progress.
This newly added pack/s is to extreme imo to be just given by pay only.

[woeful nymph]

Can we get some info on what was updated/patched this morning in IOS?

[solid jay]

This is probably the oldest glitch I still see in the game. Been playing for over 4 years now and no end to this one.

Another age old STFC glitch. Let's call these Glitch Classics since the seem to have been accepted as game features by the dev team.
Phantom hostile ships. They appear to be damaged, they don't move across the system and you can't attack them.
Pointless feature is you ask me but then again STFC wouldn't be the same I'd it gave us a quality in-game experience.

[quiet steppe]

Couldn't agree more! A proper scumbag company that doesn't give a 💩 about the players, especially the F2P ones, and only cares about greed.

[forest prawn]

Not really; borg tree got mostly made irrelevant by the new primes. Does not help with officer sourcing and does not remove irrelevant tokens From players inventory….just helps with some daily goals. Shop can be ignored too because you will need all the credits over the next 2 years

[severe wren]

The ex Borg giving you more mantis thingies is balancing the mantis refinery for example. The new primes effect the ships costs…but ex Borg offers iso emu optimization, research efficiency, hull, shield, warp time etc. it’s more than just daily hostile optimization. It’s a prime best of, timely sourced. Doing them just takes long and hopefully, Scopely chooses their next primes more wisely in it’s impact, dependencies, sourcing plus communicates a plan 🙂
What is a massive meh, is the ship parts/matts efficiencies. Those new primes effect, if someone buys even just the 100€ one, massively, compared to a f2p or those who researches „free“ to cut down costs e.g. like through ex borg 😂🤷‍♀️
The ex Borg shop is irrelevant imo, because you can gather those ress by grinding. Just telling you this, to give you a different view/perspective on things 🙂🖖
Access free to the new primes for the ships, that’s important now. And not 1 special thingie a month or a bad joke like this. It has to be a good balanced sourcing…a good signal….Specially for f2p people 💜
Scopely chooses those high costs…and can’t just ask for money to cut them down massively 😄 Not in my gamer world at least 😅😂

[grim vector]

lol just reading last annoucement. So, Scopely is worried about half sec loading time on side info site. But they don't care about extreme performance downgrade in past 2-3 months.
Well at least I will have something to read (stfc.space) when game is AGAIN unresponsive.
(I'm I only one noticing that big performance degradation is often coming just after enrolling a big new update? 🤔)

[cursive snow]

Events section died for this

[rigid current]

These game servers have been terrible this week.

[weak grove]

everytime they "work on their backend" it's getting worse. i somehow remeber that some months ago it was announced the overall performance will improve, but we should have some comprehension. it's just that some dev was so dumb that he build in the code upside-down and thus came the reversed effect xD

[acoustic cloud]

Are you rolling all of these into one normal population server?

Echo... Echo... Echo.....

[clear bison]

We should see how new scoring works BEFORE incursion starts. That will inform tactics…waiting until day of won’t work.

[tepid bramble]

It’s going to be a goat rope, and count on that 😉

[next haven]

Which is a violation of tos and community standards. When you point out exactly what stfc is ignoring, they immediately close the ticket.

[lapis shale]

Agreed been a long road on my journey thru this exact issue and @next haven that’s not necessarily true there are some that truly do care and want to help make the game more enjoyable for all. IF the in game moderators pass you around like they did me for a year ask for a player experience specialist every server has at least one and they will go thru it all with you it may take time but hold out and you’ll get what you need and deserve. Also ss everything and video if you can makes it easier. 3 years and counting but these last few months have been way better best of luck

[fallen epoch]

👀

[sour dew]

Does this game run on Windows? The Loading of the Game and lag is like waiting for a Microsoft program to load.

[tame thicket]

mine is working really well, make sure to go into settings and change your fps and settings to account for the capability of your device. I mean they still have the bugs that the game has but performance wise its fine

[echo mirage]

Can someone please feed the hamsters?

[crude sandal]

Try it either on wifi or cell data, depending on which one you're currently on
That can usually kick the game back into motion and you can go back to preferred connection afterwards

[ocean wagon]

Sure wish events would score correctly. 2 different events points not counting. Support says logs show I got points. But I see 0 as score. Thanks for nothing

[fallen epoch]

Which event

[fervent helm]

Any chance of having higher lvl exchange transport. As they only go up to lvl 40.

[rough belfry]

Agreed. <@&509690795536941056> can we please see how incursions is going to score before the event starts so we can plan ahead?

[nova sierra]

Also helpful to predict whether one server decides to turtle up & hide away for the day

[torpid cargo]

There is more whine on here then at Chateau Picard. All the crying about server bullies is a waste of time. Quite empowering other people to ruin your game. Change your tactics, get a coalition, shield for a three-day break. Most of all to.....toughen up there Francis.

[tepid bramble]

The quote is “Lighten up Francis” 😋

[clear bison]

<@&509690795536941056> My immediate concern with scoring given one server attacks and one defends the whole 24 hours, is if the attacking server gets a lead…they can just sit on their own server until the event is over. So, how does defender score points to keep that from happening?

[rough belfry]

They are saying they are changing the scoring mechanisms. So who knows. More information would be great wouldn't it?

[final socket]

Considering past experience of incursions, they probably don't know how the scoring will work until it starts. I'm more concerned about the growing number of stations on our server that all your crit hits are zero on when you attack them. It's rather difficult to crack bases under these circumstances

[clear bison]

You know it Drac!

[severe wren]

It called slow food 😄😄😋

[oak ibex]

With it being this way it should be a 2 day event where both sides have a chance to defend and attack

[static whale]

Not interested in incursions...the whole model is wrong.

[somber jacinth]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar <@&509690795536941056>

Goodbye STFC, I’ve decided to leave because of the lack of support from scopley. The countless bugs/errors/faults in game. The amount of money people have spent on this game you would think it would run smoothly and they able to fix the smallest things. But instead they continue to release more and more material without fixing the old. And continue to charge high end prices for subpar product.

Another issue was hiring people that know nothing about the game and expect the community to lean on them to solve issues but have no idea of the struggles or frustration in game trying to play a broken game. Who is in-charge of hiring someone that played the game for maybe 6months and putting them in leadership position? They should be fired, and the person above them should be fired too. Recruit people like @civic slate or even @weak marten, people that have studied the material, know the mechanics of officers and how introducing new officers or any new mechanic with new abilities or copied abilities will effect the game.

Me leaving will not affect their sales nor the game. And what I have to say will fall on deaf ears and greed filled souls.

To quote Spock (Zachary Quinto) when he rejected the Vulcan Council President (in a tone reserved for telling someone to go to hell!)

Live Long and Prosper!

[torpid cargo]

Here here!!! on Hiring RevDuce aka "The Peoples Champ" Scopley please give this man a job. He knows the ins' and outs, hes got a pulse on the players, and hes gone through and played with everything the game offers. #ScopleyHireRevDuce

[bronze igloo]

Stop overloading Thursdays with events but having Wednesdays and Fridays being light on events. 20 minutes and I am pretty much already done for the day. It's like you guys don't even think when you plan events. The key is sustained engagement.

[clear bison]

It’s only way we can get any PvP on our server. Most alliances we have are PvE and not growing quick enough to be a worthy opponent any longer.

[gusty fractal]

a way for PvP if there will be someone who mines: "Incurion day" is a "free day with 24H shield and two relocation token to use" for most of players. Incursion event on monday (mining event) or on Thursday (eclipse armada event) is a way for PvP.

[static whale]

As I said above...the model is wrong.

If you can't see that...It wouldn't surprise me...because Scopely can't see it either.

[upper parrot]

As this game lacks a very common feature - pvp arena, which would be super easy to set up in a way Raid:SL sets their pvp matches there - the players interested in pvp do not have much to do on a day-to-day basis. Incursions are great for disrupting the monotony and give pvp players something to look forward to, they can have a fun for a few hours against different server (so they do not know who has strong ships, good crews, strong research for their level and who does not).

Since there is no in-game reward mechanic for doing pvp outside 1-2 events per month, most players are avoiding it and are not accustomed to it, so they in turn dislike any pvp events and Incursions (which is for pve players what a Mining Monday is for pvp players - and no, killing miners is not a pvp).

While the event rewards for pvp events and Incursions help offset that dislike to some level (if the rewards are good, player will do even content they do not find fun), I think it would be better to get players to interact more with pvp elements using arena mechanics. Again, if the rewards are good - prime particles sourcing seem to be a popular topic these days - people will do it. But they would have time to pick the ship and the crew and the game should provide them with match appropriate to their level and ship. It would both teach people how to pvp, ease the anxiety over getting a ship killed, and it might make those good pvp officers / researches more valuable to broader range of players.

[spring gulch]

The amount of different ships to kill, special currencies to collect and specialized stuff to mine is getting out of hand. This game feels less and less fun every day and feels more and more like hard work figuring out scrambled events and where to go or what to kill. This game I feel could use some streamlining to make it more user friendly on a day to day basis.

[static whale]

And why is it that only 2 servers compete against each other? Why not 3 or 4 or even 5 servers?
The idea of a PVP Arena has some appeal.

The Arena should contain Territories each server could fight over. And current Territories on all other servers removed.

[pastel path]

@static whale yes a permanent galaxy for all servers to fight over would be nice persistent combat between all the servers viewing for a galaxy full of territories would be awesome

[static whale]

As it stands now, one of the main reasons for the lag is due to the existence of Territory on our existing servers.

If, as I suggest, Territory gets moved to an Arena server for servers to fight over, I am sure that will almost eliminate a large portion of the lag problem on our servers.

[old seal]

Don't forget pushing buttons and opening up chests etc after reset is a waste of time.
Rather have the 10, 4hr, 24hr chests open automatically. What is the point of pressing them?
Also get rid of Augment faction.... absolutely pointless and 800 data nodes ....why????

[kind minnow]

if they first implement a non broken pvp system where all get a fair shot first.

[pastel path]

@kind minnow what's broke about it? Dare I ask?

And a persistent pvp server where multiple servers are contesting territories would be a great place to work on that system. Like a long running beta server.

[nova sierra]

Make sure that if someone completes all BP event, but isn’t part of an alliance, they can complete the series. The last couple have had one too many Unity tasks, so I’m one short

[vale wasp]

You can form an alliance and use the contribute function to finish those. It should be dirt cheap to finish the event that way for those who are alliance-less.

[nova sierra]

O…M…G. It’s right there. Thanks!

[wise maple]

So only one server will be able to go over to the other one for the entire event?

[vale wasp]

Both can hop, but the attacker should get events focused on hopping.

[potent shard]

Before making any assumptions let's wait and see what they have planned out. It could go many ways.
Unless you have proof.

[wise maple]

@potent shard lmao, its right in scopley’s announcement, there’s no assumptions about it.

[cursive snow]

For the love of God @tacit obsidian please make them remove the timers for these or make them much shorter. I don't want something else to mentally track

[potent shard]

All they said is one dedicated to assault and one to defend. How that'll play out is unclear. It doesn't say one server can jump and other can't. It doesn't say if it's full 24hrs. It could be split for all we know.

[worn pasture]

I noticed today these two sections seem to imply there are citizens living in our starbases, perhaps even featuring a red light district and apartments. Who are these tiny people? Do they have voting rights? Is this where all the inactive officers schmooze? Ferengi latinum casino confirmed?

[pastel path]

Yeah people and little vehicles buzzing about the inside woulda been nice. Prolly lagg out the server though.

If you look closely you can see other evidence of habitation

[cerulean sandal]

The implementation of a NDA (Confidentiality Agreement) and data disclosure opt-in by Scopely for player surveys raises serious concerns regarding their underlying motivations. These measures appear to be designed to selectively restrict the participation of players who are more inclined to express negative feedback towards certain in-game behaviors and experiences. While it is understandable for a company to safeguard proprietary information and maintain confidentiality, the extensive scope and stringent obligations imposed by the NDA may deter players who prioritize fair treatment, value their civil and human rights, and are wary of relinquishing them so easily. This approach risks excluding a significant segment of the player base that demonstrates a heightened sense of social responsibility and ethical consciousness. The fairness and inclusivity of the survey come into question, potentially compromising the validity and reliability of the collected data. To address these concerns, Scopely should thoroughly reassess the extent of the imposed restrictions and ensure that the feedback process accommodates diverse viewpoints, promotes transparency, and respects the rights of players who actively engage with their civil rights and ethical considerations. Failing to do so suggests a self-serving agenda by the developers, which inherently undermines the accuracy and integrity of the collected data. It is crucial for Scopely to foster an environment that encourages meaningful participation from players who possess a strong moral compass and a genuine desire to improve the gaming experience for all.

[pastel path]

🍪

[forest vine]

1. Why did you delete my comment?

2. Why did you introduce prime research nodes (that lower the cost of ship upgrades) with ever increasing ammounts of money to purchase them?

3. When will you increase Refinery output without us paying for it?

[nova sierra]

Refinery output was increased substantially last year, and Bajoran favours have an F2P path to further improving them. Paid bonuses have always been a feature of this game. Your comment was removed because instead of asking the questions above you decided to engage in insulting.

[forest vine]

Again? Ok, I'll rephrase.

1. Apparently the word "Substantially" means something different for Scopely than for me personally.

2. There's nothing wrong with paying features in the game. I use them myself (small battlepass only, as others are way too expensive for what you get). Scopely just goes too far with pay/benefit ratio.

3. Scopely's move to introduce scalable money demands for prime research nodes (quicker ship upgrades for example) is indicative of Scopely's "listening to the community" while trying to figure out how to get more money from Star Trek fans. Give them something, while emptying out their wallets.

4. What is the total ammount of money required to max out newest 2 prime research nodes?

5. Since I didn't use any bad words or "insult" anyone, can I expect my comment to stay up this time?

[nova sierra]

1; how long have you been playing, and what ops level are you? I would certainly call the improvement that was made “substantial”, it was a massive change from where we went. 2; value is a matter of perspective, some see their value against the old costs, some don’t because their spend isn’t enough to realise the benefit. 3; probably worth a check of my history and my stance on these primes, I do not like them, I think they are a monetised solution to a design problem at higher Ops levels. 4; depends on your starting point but I believe it’s a “low” four figure sum. 5; yes. #🌠-rules-and-roles12 are how we roll here and as long as you’re not breaking them I personally encourage people to speak of the problems and issues they have, just do it respectfully.

My response was to your initial question around refinery improvements, when reality is there have been two meaningful improvements to them over the last 12 months alone.

If we brush off every effort they make as “rubbish” or “token” then we end up with no improvement 🙂

[cursive snow]

Nice to see the community is receptive to these new primes

[wind vortex]

I'm sure plenty have already shelled out for them. Most of them just won't admit to it in here. 🤷

[queen glade]

Anybody else having trouble logging into game. Stops iploading at 70%

[coral heath]

honestly i view the refinery change as more of an 'oh, we had a typo, we should fix that', moving it to where it'd been intended to be, rather than a deliberate improvement in response to complaints. i wouldn't say it's a 'substantial' improvement, the refinery remains a secondary to tertiary source for mats. i won't say they didn't improve anything, but i wouldn't say it hits the threshold i'd expect from something being labeled as 'substantial'

[nova sierra]

that increment was almost a joke, increasing by a percentage something that can be 0 more than half the time you do your pulls means almost nothing, this is something already stated by me and other at the time, but it seems it needs repetition, the refinery needs to give a guaranteed amount of uncommon/rare/epic every pull, until this happens than increasing by a percentage will mean almost nothing even if the percentage increase seems good on paper

[tepid bramble]

Any particular reason solo borg armadas don’t count towards the daily cloak? Yet FKR ones do?

[vale wasp]

Try cloaking every ship in an SA.

[lime socket]

The g3 refinery is substantial. I’d estimate I get about half my g3 out of the refinery.

[tepid bramble]

Not possible, and even when I use just one ship, and cloak it, it doesn’t count

And please tell me these are going to have some use other than eating up memory, like all the other useless crap in my inventory 🙄

[fossil bolt]

Releasing special packs in store, nice. But exactly not the station pack that everyone above ops50 needs. Not even on Memorial Day, Scopely has any decency to have a money-greed day off. How shameful, but unfortunately common practice at Scopely☹️

[hexed pelican]

Change the levels of formation armadas to better reflect their power. We do 40+ all the time without effort and some much higher ones in solos, so people launch lvl40 formations only to waste their directives as they're much, much stronger than their level rating implies

[potent anvil]

Especially as the jump from formation 35 to 40 is very big. Most 35 are massively overpowered with 30m+ but that's not even close to enough to beat a 40.
So now we have our bigger ships hogging the 35 armadas, making sure almost nobody gets enough points

[tepid bramble]

Yeah, and this is frustrating for the bigger guys as well, because we either hog them for them to succeed, ergo screwing over our littles, or we sit out and they fail, also screwing over the littles. No happy medium, and that 10 min timer doesn’t allow for audibles to be called with crewing issues. Really borked this one.

[untold zephyr]

So now players are creating 1 man alliances and launching a formation armada once they see an alliance start one of the nodes. Preventing them from winning the big chest.
Well thought out mechanic scopely.. well done.

[cerulean sandal]

They have restarted the Incursion event, but their modifications completely fail to address the inherent flaw in this global PvP-style event. The fundamental reason why such events will never work in this game is clear. Players who invest money instead of progressing organically seek to exploit the system for power. While there's nothing inherently wrong with this approach, it allows players to artificially inflate their power using finances, disregarding fair play. This creates a contradiction within the game's dynamics.

Consequently, many of the players holding the highest positions of power have less inclination for fair play or competing on an equal footing. Their desire is to leverage their power for victory, as doing otherwise would render their financial investments meaningless. On the other hand, players who value competitive and organic growth progress at a slower pace and prefer fair competition against like-minded individuals. They inevitably face frustration when pitted against opponents who have relied on financial advantages. Moreover, certain players use the game as an outlet for psychological satisfaction, resulting in a pay-to-bully scenario that far worsens PvP gameplay. The big spenders are beginning to recognize this, while free-to-play/dolphin players are increasingly unlikely to want to engage in such fruitless activities. Fixing PvP seems uncertain at this point. Developers may be better off focusing on community-building initiatives and perhaps a PVP system that uses fair matching to satisfy players without relying on these negative interactions, further souring the players' experience.

[gusty fractal]

I think scopely's objective was to increase alliance cooperation but, as it happened for alliance help function, some players need time to understand how a function works to break it.

Coordinate better or nothing, there are not solutions other than disabling the formation armadas or rework them

[potent anvil]

"Moreover, certain players use the game as an outlet for psychological satisfaction, resulting in a pay-to-bully scenario that far worsens PvP gameplay." this especially is what I hear from many in my alliance. They are looking for a fun outlet from RL where they can play together with friends. Having players who prefer to bully and kill outside of RoE "because that's not how Scopely intended the game" sours this experience for many.

[vapid rivet]

So disappointed to see incursions are back, might even stop playing altogether this time round, fed up with being used as whale fodder....

[pastel path]

Lol shields broke?

@vapid rivet if my shields didn't work Id be reporting it to customer service.

[astral mesa]

Anyone who trys to profit off memorial day has a spot in hell waiting for them........

[crude swallow]

🤔

[nova sierra]

Well heck. Looks like Hondo is flat out of places to buy anything from.

[torn patrol]

If they win their Mada, you still get the chest.

[untold zephyr]

@torn patrol they aren't even sending a ship that can kill it.. they are intentionally losing.

[torn patrol]

KoS them for it. RoE is only as effective as your ability to enforce it. (There is no server RoE on my server. 52)

[vale wasp]

The current income of formada directives is insufficient for that to be a big problem unless you have a habit of making enemies.

[untold zephyr]

0 at war alliances. U have those folk that just clear systems on a whim doing it. And yeah..it isn't great sourcing for directives, which is why even though they can only do it to a few...those few who are effected can't just launch another.

[acoustic cloud]

Just your weekly reminder @tacit obsidian @royal solar how unhappy the community members who were robbed by the exborg g4 parts prime are.

Scale it up to be relevant with the new Primes/artifacts, pls thx.
10x is probably enough to make right on these customers scopely had shown utter contempt for.

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> the only thing worst than waiting on an Armada timer is waiting on the respawn of targets. Especially when the entirety of the server is doing it.

[astral mesa]

good thing i don't need any junk

[livid stone]

No doubt. The sourcing is terrible, silly that some people are chaotic enough to waste them to bust someone else’s trio.

[barren raven]

Need a formation armada between 35 and 40

[quick harness]

Lag is really awful since the start of the XSLB enent!!! Are you really sure infinite incursion has a chance of running smoothly??? I really doubt it... - it's no fun at all for example to do formation armadas while the chat (and the visible start of the armada) laggs about 1 minute!

[gleaming nebula]

Game is crashing like crazy since xslb, can’t stay in game for more then 5 min. If incursion will be the same it will end in massive shielding

[wooden spire]

Lag is annoying today. No game for me.

[cosmic knoll]

Formada events, or should we call it fomo-mada events (least thats what im calling them)? Increase acquisition of start currency (easy fix), or rework to seat either the current armada center amount or a fixed 5. Plus return timer to 15minutes, the lemmings have run out of their 4 free starts and are now on the 1 a week. Within 3 months (no more fomo-mada events) they will realise that they voted like they were going to get 4 starts a week each.

[tepid bramble]

Yeah, totally agree ☝️

[rancid stone]

@rigid vapor: Get the game lag fixed assp. You get a bunch of money from the players so move your a...

[ember abyss]

Is anyone else having issues logging into and using the Scopley store. I’m on iPhone and Safari, Chrome, and Firefox all just lock up with zero access to the store. I’d guess they don’t want my money but it IS Scopley. Any help would be appreciated.

[rich grove]

શુ તમે લોકો ગુજરાતી ભાષા ઉમેરવામા રસ ધરાવો છો? (ઇન ગેમ.)

[swift steppe]

I don't see any way scopely can possibly balance between the offensive and defensive servers on incursions UNLESS they alternate incursions between 2 servers.

[sacred garden]

How the heck you supposed to redeem this and when

[cerulean sandal]

Our ordinarily very chatty server discord has a chanel for incursions. We've had approximately five or six comments so far about this incursion event. So far they're all along the lines of does anybody want to participate followed by silence and this sucks type comments.

[nova sierra]

may have missed summit but what happened to the bribes tokens seem not to have them to spend where are they If I may ask from server 126 porthos

[cosmic knoll]

bribes were for a milestone payout

[nova sierra]

were they my bad i missed that thanks for info

[fallen epoch]

In future

[polar basin]

I bet we are going to get a fancy avatar 😍

[fallen epoch]

AlphaBank avatar!!!

Coming sooooon

[true zealot]

We all get 10bps towards a brand new voyager...the rest will be sold separately, some restrictions may apply

[hollow moat]

Not sure where to post this but how come the STFC.space page is not working? Officers and a couple others databaes are not working, been down over two weeks.

[pastel path]

It has a new owner

[brazen patrol]

I know you guys don't believe in testing before putting something in production, but could you please take your claws off stfc.space and not turn it into a useless website?
what am I saying, there's nothing being done with feedback anyway

[edgy harness]

“Two tokens and a blue”

[potent shard]

Still waiting on how the Attacker vs Defender scoring is going to work out, also which server will be what. We need this info to start planning out the game play.

[vast nest]

If we're lucky they'll give us more info. But my guess is we will find out Thursday when the US servers start

[molten iris]

@royal solar server merges? …. in game messages do not indicate when or whom. - s70…Maddox.

[sacred garden]

Clearly scopley broke the game again with this stupid incursion, rebooted the game once already and still can’t collect my dailies

[ripe thicket]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar without sourcing, the voyager officers are not worth it. 10% chance at hull breach us crappy for 1 turn. It will only proc once or twice mist fights if you are lucky. Having a base of 50% chance with +10% per rank would make her worth it.

The EMH should start out at 25% and gain +5% per rank after.

While the officers are great, the musy have is only at t4/5. Unless Voyager is a discovery 2.0. With weekly officers, it is dead on release.

[fringe junco]

Would be nice if you tell us there will be maintenance and not just in Chat as chat can be faked...

[vocal beacon]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar , what's with the unannounced maintenance? APAC 188 and a bunch of others are down

[nova sierra]

Good grief. What's up with the unexpected maintenance???? That's b.s. miners are exposed...ships are out.

[vast nest]

Well if its a merge your miners are recalled. Might be more than the merges though

[fringe junco]

Server 201 is NOT undergoing a merge so dont realy know whats up. More bugs being introduced maybe??

[nova sierra]

194 isnt being merged either. An announcement on the shutdown would have been polite

[small edge]

Did anyone see anything in chat? I didn’t. APAC 188

[split coral]

188 player here. Great timing as usual for Aussies who are just getting home from work and are greeted with a multi hour maintenance with no prior notice. Leaves me with little time to finish dailies or events... Do better scopely

[dense epoch]

Nice, unannounced maintenance

[fringe junco]

I believe it was in Global Chat. Would be nice if they put it in Alliance Chat as well as my alliance doesnt look at Global due to all the trash talk that happens in there..

[boreal ferry]

Such trash, much talk, tell Dralis to lay off the kool aid mate 😂

[nova sierra]

GC is not looked at by 90% of 194. That's just poor management. It should have been put through ALL chat channels

[frail latch]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar Need your help please. I had treated myself to a pack for my birthday but the payment went through twice. I requested a refunded for one of the payments which has been done but also they removed most of the pack and I'm now missing 500k lat etc. but have only had 1 refund notice so basically paid full price for half a pack...

[vale wasp]

That sounds like a CS issue. Have you contacted them yet?

[frail latch]

I've gone through the tribble shooting yeah, that's how I'm stuck with this mess. "John" has apparently refunded the pack and removed the items which was not the issue I reported and of course the ticket was closed immediately after. Or do you mean go through it all again in the hopes that my tickets are auto-closed like last time?

[vale wasp]

Go through again, yes. It's a different problem now.

[frail latch]

Ok thanks. It's not really a different problem from a customer perspective but i know what you mean. Last time I tried contacting CS they just closed my tickets without reply, I dont have much hope. Thanks for the quick answer.

[static whale]

If you used Google pay, you could have claimed it back from them.

[frail latch]

Good to know. Its not something i do very often and I foolishly assumed that the Scopely request refund process might actually work... 4 years of this game and I've still not learnt 😂

[static whale]

A friend did it because Scopely was so slow...

[frail latch]

Credit where credit is due, I did get 3 responses from 3 people within 48hrs. That's a decent response time. 2nd asked for the same information I'd already provided and 3rd thought that refunding 1 of 2 payments meant also splitting the contents of the pack 🤷‍♂️ but I was responded to and passed around very quickly (ticket closure a little too quick as usual though)

[granite hearth]

Thanks for the excellent warning and fantastic communication about the unscheduled maintenance in the APAC region…..🙄 How hard is it to put a message on the official discord to let players know what it happening? We all understand stuff happens and needs to get fixed sometimes, but just put out some kind of communication please. It’s been over an hour and…..nothing.

[vocal beacon]

Better be some decent compensation. With this short notice maintenance happening, absolutely no chance in completing events today, including battlepass. Dailies I may be able to get done if I am not asleep when the game comes back online

[latent pulsar]

Bruh I finished Battlepass 2 days ago lol or atleast it felt like 2 days ago. This damn server outage has me losing track

[static whale]

There are several days after that initial BP that there are extra days.

[nova sierra]

A "low" four figure sum? Here was me thinking that the price of the second time you unlock the Treasury (AUD$149.95 or US$99.??) was expensive... :/

[lucid oriole]

@tacit obsidian not sure if this is on all servers but in 188 we are experiencing stability issues, "Too many ships in this system, please try again" errors (specifically in Aerimea from what we have found so far), and other random bugs since the update.

[weak grove]

Why is stfc.space only available in English now?

[green crown]

Ofc factionhunt starts during EU incursion....

[minor tulip]

I’m still unable to log in with ‘the game is undergoing maintenance’ message

[mild fulcrum]

There is a limit to number of ships that can be in the same system. That’s not a bug

[lucid oriole]

No ships in system...

[mild fulcrum]

Well that would be useful to mention 😉

[willow yoke]

can we get ANY official statement regarding all the new bugs and issues on APAC servers since maintenance???? it's been HOURS and we heard nothing yet... several people can't finish the formation armada event because of the new issues....

[willow yoke]

looks like a couple of g4 ships have been demoted down to g3 ... can we have the ops/shipyard requirements adjusted aswell then pls 🤣

[wild plinth]

Is this on mobile? My PC version doesn't show the stars for those ships.

[pliant crow]

Lol, you mean the problems with the armadas in the European servers are normal? There was me thinking there’s no way any one would actually design something to be like this given the number of people needing to complete events

[sullen matrix]

Never seen any other game in 28 years of gaming where specific stuff just randomly breaks I think.
Scopely is special. Maybe change the toolkit

[real veldt]

Wat happen to bp event? No reward. No nothing

[fallen epoch]

What BP event?

[real veldt]

End of the arc event. It just ended. What happend to rewards

[fallen epoch]

Player misconception. This is one part of the arc. The arc is all the parts put together

#🏆-event-chat message

Explained it slightly more detailed here

[real veldt]

Know that but is the same on our entire server. Arc event ended abruptly. Not a single one received the rewards accumulated over time

[fallen epoch]

That doesn’t make sense. This part of the arc ended today over an hour ago

[real veldt]

Ya and im telling you non gott tje event and most i talked to dropped down to 50%

[nova sierra]

50% of what?

[acoustic cloud]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar

Please correct the contempt for players that are the Ex-Borg G4 and G5 Parts primes sold just before these new primes were released. These need to be substantially buffed.

[real veldt]

@nova sierra.Of the total compilation of the month's arc

[fallen epoch]

I’m still very confused

#⭐-official-announcements ???

[willow yoke]

nope... these screenshots were taken via PC

[fallen epoch]

Maybe they don’t have anything to share?

[wild plinth]

Wierd, dunno why it would show stars for one person and x1 for me. It's not a rep unlocked thing because I see the x1 for my locked ships as well. This is US server, not some localization thing?

[willow yoke]

might be... I'm APAC and we had maintenance earlier today and they screwed several things up on our servers... Formation armadas broken - resapawn with at least one of the three armadas spawns with zero health resulting in an error when trying to launch them (it's like we had an event going on that required doing them) ... ships jumping arround for no apparent reason (sent it to mine... ship arrived and started mining... then suddenly was displayed as sitting idle and was nowhere to be seen... hitting "locate" button indicated the ship was somewhere else entirely... and a moment later the ship was back on it's node and mining happily (this happened several times) ... and for seven hours nothing happened... only for now, after reset with the new events running they put us back into maintenance with basically no warning ahead of time... and no information for how long

[wild plinth]

Was it showing a number or the stars on a previous day? I think it's been showing a number for me for a while. So I'm wondering if the APAC servers/client were rolled back to a previous version because of their problems.

[broken flower]

With all this in mind, good luck with incursions 😅

[willow yoke]

the bugs described above were only a thing after the first maintenance earlier today (maintenance ended about 8h ago now...) now we are again in maintenance to fix these issues - hopefully... couldn't tell you if that thing with the wrong displays in the faction stores was already there before that first maintenance today or not

[willow yoke]

don't get me started on this... no incursions for my server for more than half a year... first careful testing with an incursion for only two test servers last month... now the first wide scale test to run them for all servers again since they decided to not run them anymore... and what do they do??? they give us faction hunt or hostile hunt on the same day (depending what server region) AND!!!! for APAC servers also the weekly Apex simultaniously... as if incursion alone wasn't enough...

[arctic lake]

No mention of Easter, now no mention of Memorial Day??? W T F ScOpElY

[wild plinth]

We've got memorial day $100 packs, what more do you want?

[fresh bramble]

What is the point of the Mantis when they can still escape when stung? Is this really how u guys envisioned this working? Cuz the Mantis is a waste of effort if you can’t stop them from warping out using a discovery.

[grave hawk]

Please fix STFC.space while you're at it

[compact terrace]

that is a loophole... but you have to have a disco with summon research and be ready for it with a disco before you get stung.

[nova sierra]

Well they have mentioned memorial day. There are packs in the game for it, but Easter is a religious holiday which really doesn't have any business being in the game

[wind vortex]

Do we know what the sudden downtime on APAC was even for? I mean the first one with zero patch notes and half an hour notice. Not the second one which was to try to start fixing what the first one broke.

[fallen epoch]

The first one was for server merges but I’m not sure if all APAC was down for that. I thought it was only the merging servers

[wind vortex]

201 went down and we had no merge scheduled that I was aware of. I believe from the firestorm on discord that it was indeed every APAC server.

[sullen pier]

Nope,all of apac.

[fallen epoch]

Ah yeah I missed Bek’s message. Candle posted it above

[wild plinth]

Has there been any announcements on the bonus refinery dates?

[fallen epoch]

Nope but personally think it would come next few days or so

It’s now the end of the month

So makes sense

[compact terrace]

that was my thought as well... its typically towards the end of month

[nova sierra]

During Incursions to upset those who mine hand-to-mouth ❤️❤️❤️😂

[hallow sleet]

Thank god you don't have any creative input with the devs HD 😂

[nova sierra]

I try really really hard though ❤️😂

[odd brook]

just a thought, we love efficiency researches. how about an efficiency research for service medals for away teams research? or more goddamn away mission speedups 😂😭

[visual oar]

I’m disappointed with the Hirogen ships. They are extra difficult to beat but there’s nothing special about beating them.

[grave quest]

and please!!! better sourcing for rare armada cores!! waaayyyy too expensive / hard to source!

[bitter hearth]

no do it the hard way... G4 epic and million of them from 46 to 49 is pain 😄

[primal anvil]

I hope you understand the world does not revolve around the USofA. Rest of the world doesn't know anything about Memorial Day.

[vast plinth]

Disco summon ability isn't warp and not everyone has it, or at least keeps it docked to summon a ship in time. That's the one and only answer to the sting and they usually put out a defense for an attack mechanic. This is that.

[vast plinth]

@royal solar There goes the 8-11 utc window for server merge, any update?

[grizzled tartan]

what server are you?

[vast plinth]

71 is supposed to have merged with 70 this morning

[grizzled tartan]

your merge is scheduled to start in about 1hr 15mins

[fresh bramble]

Well a great opportunity was missed in the Mantis mechanic cuz now it’s useless. And you can’t argue otherwise because all it’s good for is …….. having a issue finding what it’s good for …. Besides dropping a C note

[brazen patrol]

there is a big difference in the sourcing of these consumables
it's a lot easier to source the jump/summon juice for the disco than it is to get the sting juice
stinging someone is 1 full daily chest. It's just painful that it's so easy to get out of it once you are able to disco summon
with the resources I have right now, I could disco summon my stung ship over 100 times
That is just a slap in the face of someone who has to save these up to use them at a convenient time

[solid wing]

Does anyone know how long the merge will take

[grizzled tartan]

roughly 1 hr

[royal blaze]

New to the game, do they ever have sales for like the “pay to win” stuff aka the packages and stuff or are they always expensive? Like $30 for a builder seems steep lol just me though

I get it’s a huge help so hence the price, but ye do they have sales?

[tepid bramble]

Not really no. Once they realize that you’re going to pay, they turn the cranks. Once in a blue moon they have “specials”. But they really are anything but. Nope, scopy is ALL about gauging their customer base for a subpar product.

[crude sandal]

They have marginally better packs for the same amount of cash

[nova sierra]

For systems with dual materials mining nodes, suggest to either fix the on going issue with nodes not displaying correctly..or change the system to a single material. Frustrating to spend time viewing all the open nodes looking for the material to mine, though it is not actually that material. Waste of valuable time combing through them all, just to determine none of them are displaying correctly. 😑

[stiff parcel]

How do you contact customer support? The links are just to articles. Not actual customer support. No chat ever comes up.

[fallen epoch]

#👽-how-to-contact-support

[stiff parcel]

Yeah. Tried that before I posted. That doesn’t work. Try it. No chat box ever pops up if you follow those directions. Looks like Scopely has disabled it. @tacit obsidian

[nova sierra]

Except this one.

[fallen epoch]

It’s missing from some pages still there bottom right

[nova sierra]

😬

[fallen epoch]

You can try another option if the chat bot isn’t working

[chilly quartz]

Incursions are stupid and not needed. Why do Incursions you can't even fix the problems you've already made in the game, lagg is horrible, not being able to collect field training. It's starting to get beyond a joke, we can't play properly throw Incursions into the mix and it's worse. All your worried about is making money, you dont care about the F2P players let alone when reports about bullying in game happens are reported, where's the care about mental health!!!!!

[fresh bramble]

Gives me a three day break. 👍

[fallen epoch]

You mean a 1 day break - for incursions

[blissful delta]

Crap for flash pass.

[arctic lake]

And yet I have left over tokens from Christmas, Easter (but not from this year), Thanksgiving, St Patricks Day, and gummies (I think from Halloween) events. My point being it would appear theyve stopped the holiday events. I do appreciate you checking me and helping me understand the world does not revolve around the USofA, hostility is always appreciated as I hope you appreciate sarcasm. I would be curious though to find out for sure if the server I am on is a regional one as I'm pretty sure it's a North American server as most are from the USofA and Canada.

[graceful otter]

I can't even see it yet😝 just the overflow!

[vale wasp]

You should reboot.

[fresh bramble]

Yeah, want to impress put Picard in there. Maybe strike team La’an. Help a brother out

[primal anvil]

''No mention of Easter, now no mention of Memorial Day??? W T F ScOpElY'' I'm terribly sorry that i couldn't read out that you were talking about tokens or that they stopped holiday events. For me looked like you were crying about whole world not caring about Memorial Day.

[arctic lake]

I did address it to ScOpElY. Also fairly certain the lack of mention of holidays is due to it having been bought out by Savvy Games (PIF).

[nova sierra]

Let’s avoid speculation.

[pallid jackal]

Can we make the contribute amount higher

[arctic lake]

Why?

[pallid jackal]

It’s capped at 50x but for higher players which contribute a lot this is a painful exercise. Making it so you can donate 500x every time would be nice. Also, please don’t make this available as a pack of 99£ Scopely

[nova sierra]

Because it results in lazy stereotypes and backhanded insults.

[arctic lake]

...it "may" result... but not necessarily .

[arctic lake]

I also originally speculated HEMH was a bot. lol

[vast plinth]

Merge happened, but they never opened up the event, chest, store items promised... We're simply merged.

[stiff latch]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar Please revert whatever changes we're made to STFC.space back to when Ripper sold it off to you guys. I can no longer see missions nor hostiles.

[next haven]

I'm also still waiting on more from the mirror verse. We get the iss and kind of a storyline a few years ago. Officers and other ships could be cool.

[stiff latch]

There really wouldn't be much. Instead of morale they probably would have fear. The officer abilities could be changed but for the most part in the mirrorverse things were the same. They just used their abilities to help themselves. Shipwise, the USS Intrepid, the Imperial flagship would really be the only two ships that we don't currently have and the Intrepid and the Ent are the same ship. I still would like a skin of the NX-01 for the Realta though.

[old seal]

It's only pixels, how on earth is it possible to stress over something that's not real?
Pixels don't have feelings

[graceful otter]

Pixel pushers do!

[serene dragon]

Why is there a message limit for same text? How are we supposed to inform all alliance members of important info? Not everyone is online to read AC or has access to discord. I get it to stop spamming peoples inboxes but within allaince there should be no limit to sending the same info.

[spark tundra]

Still didn't see any answers to the contact Scopely question! I have a ship stuck and unable to recall and same as the others hitting a brick wall trying to talk to someone about solving the issue. I've tried everything they recomended and still my miner is stuck.

[nova sierra]

#👽-how-to-contact-support

[chilly quartz]

@old seal
It's not worth having incursions we have enough problems in game. Scopely don't CARE, all they care about is money. If they cared they would FIX the problems and act on reports that are placed.
It maybe pixels to you, but to some especially the disabled that can't do much, the game maybe all we have. It's fun to be apart of an alliance that you can make some really great friends with.
The game has been awesome WITHOUT incursions. It would be really great if scopely FIXED everything before adding more contents and causing more problems.
WE DON'T NEED INCURSIONS!!!

[nova sierra]

That’s a very your perspective viewpoint; there are hundreds of players that are looking forward to it, myself included. There are many ways to make enjoyment during incursions and they don’t all involve PvP, there are usually some very lucrative exocomps available and I’m led to believe by the most recent announcements that not participating will be easier this time because it’s all on to one server for the scoring benefits.

Find something to do collectively as an alliance or as an individual during incursions; hop on a voice channel and play spotters for the whales, go do some solo armadas with loot exocomps running… all kinds of things you can do.

[chilly quartz]

It still causes more problems and they need to fix the ones we've got especially LAGGG it stinks

[nova sierra]

this here times with take up, so that this can be completed also times.

[sour dew]

Why is there a 2min delay recalling any ship still? And what story will we get to excuse and justify it?

[tepid bramble]

Why was the transport “special” removed from the store? It had the same timer as the the other three? Seems kinda sketchy scopy. (I know, sketchy is your MO, but still)

[woeful echo]

Is there any plan yet on compensation for those of us that purchased the Mantis? It's been nearly a year now and still not so much as an apology for the rip off.

[tawdry swift]

Just curious if you guys have a plan to fix pvp. Strike teams are a joke either spend $1000 to teir them or don't pvp. I just wondering because you are making the game unaffordable and no fun at all. We used to be able to try different crews now it's moot.

[fringe stirrup]

Can we rescale the stuff like farnklin-A, Scarophagus ..Territory ...augument faction???? those things have become total waste.

[gusty fractal]

also: bajoran faction, eclipse faction, artifacts (yeah, it's a old content), ferengi/fesha d'vor about shards, stella about uranium, botany about plutonium. has anyone more stuffs?

[tardy flare]

FIX THE ******* GAME - STOP ADDING **** CONTENT 🤬 Crash Crash Crash ****s

[torpid yew]

Hi. Can we get for admiral and commodores feature to message to all in alliance option?

[nova sierra]

Lol. This has like NO value whatsoever. That pack is an insult to the player base. Plus the ridiculous amount of faction credits (over 1 million) it costs to unlock is also ridiculous. This is why most people skip the G4 epic ships

[tepid bramble]

I would say “criminal” not insulting. But that is me. I guess I have a higher standard for how companies should conduct themselves and would actually like regulations to enforce said conduct.

[nova sierra]

Ya it's absurd. I spend money on the game, but I will not shell out 2300$ for a ship. And if I collect all my Federation tokens normally, it would take about 300 days to save up.

This is one reason why I support legislation limiting what gaming companies can charge through in app purchases. It's basically psychologically designed to try to force you to shell out money.

[edgy harness]

Not basically. They likely spent more money on psychological studies and design than programming the code for stability and adaptability.

[jade basalt]

Observation: If gameplay allows players to zero out another players base resources (Parasteel, Tritanium, Dilithium) which cripples advancement the vaults for the same should scale with base level to better align with the increased cost of building, research, and ships.
In my opinion I should also be able to review all the battle reports and not just the last 99. I mean I'm at level 27 and Dilithium valut (maxed) only protects 33K! I can barely repair my ships with that much less start unlocked level 27 research (like Interceptor Tactics 5 @ 226K Dilithium required).

[nova sierra]

This has been said for 4 years and scopely won't budge. You can increase them a little bit with Spock FC and station research though.

They do this to try to force you to buy resource packs.

The only real thing you can do is get good with shield discipline. In 4 years. I have never been drained. Cracked, but not drained.

If you get drained, do events like crazy to build resources back up, but better yet – don't get drained. As long as you are in an active alliance, and do your daily missions, the game will just throw shields & alliance tokens at you. More than enough to keep yourself constantly shielded.

[jade basalt]

No value in those if someone will just take it away, they have definitely lowered my opinion of the value in any packs i might consider for resources

[tepid bramble]

Oh most definitely. It’s why I don’t raid. I personally see it as theft. “Legalized” theft. The only time I raid is when it is punitive on the server malcontents or during an incursion to assist my “team”. Otherwise I abhor the mechanic.

[worn apex]

Stupid question I know but what time is the incursion starting GMT time. The 110/109 incursion. Thanks 😊

[vast nest]

Server reset time 16:00 UTC

[vale wasp]

Tomorrow's incursion is for Apac, with US the next day, and EU last. Your server sounds EU.

[gleaming nebula]

So you don’t hit opc miners either, because it’s theft? Only when you get something in return for it like mining monday? The way i see it is shield or share

[severe wren]

This game gives tokens…they are always save and your back up 😊 they can’t be raided.
Raiding is part of a f2p way to get resources. You don’t want to loose them, Shields up 💜 That’s the deal…😄

[nova sierra]

That's what I was telling them. It throws shield tokens (or alliance tokens so you can buy them). I have a shield up unless I'm pvping.

[tepid bramble]

No, I find an empty node. If I am really hurting for a node I pm the person and give them time to recall. It’s called “being nice”. And trying to chase lat rush with opc lat is a fools game. Also, you are totally missing my point. Yes, shield or share is fine, personal responsibility and all. But there are folks who make their game all about the raiding. And the fact that those resources (not a mat/lat node) has the possibility of being paid for with actual money, leaves a stink in my mouth and personal ethics. 🤷‍♂️. But no, I don’t opc hunt. Not since I was ops 28(ish). You kinda grow out of that as you mine faster and more efficiently than hunting will bring you.

[severe wren]

If people pay for their ress….than they are adult enough that they know a) I pay ress for a game with a raiding element b) I want to protect my investment, the tool to do that is shielding c) if people, don’t spend money…because they cant effort that amount, don’t want to…what so ever…it’s their gaming way to raid and gain the ress😄
when we talk about pixels and people are adult enough to buy packs, knowing the money spend on pixels went puff anyway (you don’t have a cash back option) they know…what game they play 😄
That’s generous of you, if you play smoother 💜 but other play styles exist as well and they can be nice and helpful too 💜

[severe wren]

Let me give you an example than….so, I’m a raider 😄 who would have thought….😂🤷‍♀️
I have ally members who just are in their G4 world…pay maybe the 20€ BPs…trit comes hard…but they need to shoot hostiles for rep, maybe want to participate in pvp…what so ever….they needed trit. I found 3T base and made 15 lower lvl Ally mates happy, operational and brought them up to speed 😄💜 that’s helpful. Same counts for Dil…😄 now, being in G5 world…I need steel 😄
For pvp players, defending a raid can be awesome and give pew pew, a free style element of this game…so, it brings fun 😄 I get, it maybe not everyone who likes that, however, I do help my team by that and I also helped me progressing without buying station packs for example. So, yes…it’s helpful. Not for the one being raided, thats true, but for other gamers having different kinds of needs 😄

[tepid bramble]

As long as your team “wins” it’s all good right? Other peoples fun and satisfaction in their down time is irrelevant. 😉. But hey, that isn’t just THIS game, that is our society et large. So I guess I am the wrong one. Maybe 😉

[severe wren]

Your not wrong, you just have another perspective and that’s valid 😀 but the world is not black and white. That is what I am trying to tell you. Yes, the one raided as a gamer is maybe thrown back…or not, who knows…tokens exist…but other gamers gaint that day. If it comes to my team…well, play in my team and you win too or loose, sometimes ones of ours forgets to shield too 🤷‍♀️😄 other Ally’s have their raiders, their pvp people, their pve people…and so on. That is actually the game. Pixels can have moral, but imo to a certain extent till it’s stopping the actual game. I don’t raid quitting players from other Allies for example, that’s unfair knowing this gamer will not shield nor I would respect his „last wish“ and being helpful for his team the last time. I know, some would…I just don’t. So, being kind exists, even as a raider playing this game. Some will not like it, some will. That’s how it is and that’s fair 💜

[vocal beacon]

Incursions seems to have broken the game again. i can't log in on any platform.

[frank lodge]

What incursions? Haven’t started yet 🤷‍♂️

[vocal beacon]

They have done background updates. Game is not loading on multiple platforms for me

[crude sandal]

since when, and what errors? (and platforms)

[vocal beacon]

game will not log in at all on phone (android) or Pc. been trying for over an hour

[clear bison]

APAC servers…how is incursion going and any details you can provide on how new scoring works. Your insights are much appreciated by the US servers. Thanks.

[vale wasp]

Wait 4h, they haven't started yet.

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> I wanted to tell you that I actually kind of like the idea of the Formation armadas. The cooperative aspect between alliances that is possible is a fun thing. I also truly love the artifact gallery. It is such a lore friendly and interesting thing to collect.

However the part that I take issue with is the connection between the two. It simply doesn't make sense to have all the artifacts tied to the Delta Quadrant armadas. Having some artifacts exclusive to the area found there, sure. But then spread it around to all the other armadas or something. Make it so you actually have to go hunt for armads in certain areas to get certain artifacts. But that would mean a complete overhual of the entire armada system.

The other thing that is a bit annoying is that Scopley has this Shiny New Thing to go play with and us players want to go play with it, but Scopley isn't giving us the tools (directives) to go play with it! We can get 2 regular armadas a week normally. 1 thru the daily tasks and 1 thru the alliance store chest. And once a month during CoW we can get 3 more regular UC armads and 1 regular rare aramada. That's about 10 or 11 regular UC armadas a month, but we can only get 1 Formation armada a week or about 4 formadas a month. Simply adding the Formation directives to the chests mentioned above would bring them in line with the regular directives.

Now lets look at the amount of players getting rewards with the Formadas, Each formada only allows 4 players, but most players can get 5 or 6 players for regular armadas. When we are getting 10 or 11 UC aramdas a month, the amount of players getting rewards is between 50-66, but with formadas at it's only 16 a month. That is a massive difference and a huge limiter for players engaging with the Shiny New Thing

Thank you for your time.

[spice galleon]

<@&509690795536941056> here to give my feedback so far on our server merger that took place last week.... you have literally destroyed our server with this....I'm sure this was an entertaining social experiment for you but a vast majority of us(our original s71) feels you did this either very irresponsibly or with malevent intent. Some of us have spent money on the game because we had fun/enjoyed it so we supported it for it to be long term entertainment, not for you to one day burn it to the ground.....

You have merge us with an entire server that was completely lopsided in power compared to us, which is annoying during incursions but tolerable because it's temporary. You have locked us into a permanent mismatched incursion! Quite literally over half of the alliances of the opposing server are so much more powerful than even our original biggest alliance that it's not even fun and most of us feel our money was wasted.

A clear example of this was when we(the whole server) saw our first 1B power ship lol didn't even know they go that high....then I was notified that a 1B power ship wasn't uncommon in the opposing server and there are dozens! Pre-merger our biggest ship on the server was around 300m! And there were only a few! Not only that the alliances from the opposing server don't see this as a merger, it is just a permanent incursion until the original s71 players step aside/quit. Which I don't blame them, we're all newbies compared to the age of their original server.

This can be remedied though in 2 ways, either undo this and separate the servers again(I'm sure that's not an option to you) or install a "silver bullet" game mechanic that allows you to actually be able to destroy a ship that is 10, 20, or 100x bigger than yours...even if it means it's a kamikaze tactic. A 200m power ship against a 1B doesn't even do enough damage to be an annoyance!

[tepid bramble]

Man…that truly sucks. I am sorry man. You guys got scopy’d big time. That would definitely make me walk. Fighting a futile battle isn’t fun. (Why pvp is this game doesn’t work) hopefully there were “some” decent folks on the sever you merged with and some assimilation between the two can happen. But yeah, scopy isn’t gonna do squat to help you. You just provided food for the other servers whales. And that is ALL they care about. (Go Hoosiers! Originally from Fort Wayne 😋)

[crude rose]

Slb loot needs to be better after merge ffs. I cant believe scopley havnt thought about basics on this level. But not supprised..

[tardy sail]

I believe the cool-down time on the Artifact Restoration is waaaay to long. I have credits but have to wait 3 days to spend a few. Hopefully Scopely takes a look at this 🙏

[magic anvil]

Is there any reason there can't be more system with eclipse armadas? APEX event is just a big queue with everyone watching for them to appear

[waxen tinsel]

Can we PLEASE return to getting 72 hours of bonus refinery instead of 48? So many mat spends every month and I never saw an explanation for why it was made shorter in the first place!

[severe wren]

Could we manage to get more XP with the Tali, when we shoot borg probes….lvling is pain, needs so much 😄

[waxen tinsel]

Seconded. We need more of the level 31-35 targets, not just the new high level targets.

There’s already a spot to do it, too; just take the 3 armada-less systems at the top of Eclipse space and make them duplicates of Beta, Gamma, and Delta.

[fading mulch]

The Story got a sequel or is just bad luck. 😂
The same armada occupied by two guys from the same alliance. One second difference.

If you'd tried to do it on purpose, you probably wouldn't have made it.

[vale wasp]

Posting on the wrong server. Ask your alliance leadership to give you a link.

[sullen matrix]

as long as the bonus isnt boosted aswell, its pretty useless anyway. I just wish claimable things would be moved to the front.

[lucid spade]

peace shield needs adjustment, if it doesnt shield ships you should be able to attack ships without it dropping shield.

[old seal]

The game is average at best and this is my opinion. I'm FTP and effectively ANYTHING is better than the daily grind and boring repetitive events killing hostiles and Armadas. Even opening up dailies at refresh takes ten minutes wasted

[gritty scroll]

Don't think it's a good gameplay if you have to restart for every ship move coz game is not showing right for minutes

[wicked wedge]

Hi guys. Is there a bug with the fleet commanders function in the app? I finished "Legends of the Cosmos" and choosed Kirk as Commander but if I open the command center I can't choose him because I have to recruit him? As far as I understood, I should have him after the mission, or am I wrong?

[vale wasp]

There should be additional shards in the command refinery.

[wicked wedge]

ahhh that fixed it 😄 thx 🙂

[tardy meadow]

how tf is this allowed, but not me vs lvl 21

[glacial flint]

I have no idea how that works, it wont let me attack anyone ops22 or lower an I'am @ OPS 31

[fallen epoch]

Brackets

[fallen epoch]

Brackets change that’s why

[crude sandal]

https://www.pvptarget.com/

[wooden spire]

What’s with the cool-down period on nearly everything? I earn stuff in events then can only spend a little and have to wait from 1 to 3 days to spend a little more? Why? I’ve earned the loot, let me spend it!

The gold trophy recruit - I’ve got credits I can’t ever use unless I stop earning more when the event is on, because of the stupid cool-down. What purpose does it serve? Just stops me getting my one shard of some crappy officer.

[fallen epoch]

Gold trophies unless you are saving for the utility chest can be max used every time you do an SMS

[velvet sonnet]

you might get heartstroke from joy if you get two shards instead of one of that crappy officer )@wooden spire

[glacial flint]

Bracket change like that🤯 seems a good way to make people quit playing their game. Seems more like bullying

[fallen epoch]

https://www.pvptarget.com/

[fallen epoch]

Most games don’t even have PvP brackets.

[glacial flint]

most games don't have PvP at all

[wild gate]

You're lucky to get a shard, I haven't had an officer shard from that event in months.

[mild fulcrum]

It’s one of the rewards you can choose from so that’s not luck 🤷‍♂️

[glacial flint]

Yup use PvP every day an it still states i can only hit ops23-48. So yep that's a hit🤔 still seems wrong though😂

[fallen epoch]

Agree to disagree

[fallen epoch]

🤔

[glacial flint]

ok i can live with that

[next haven]

For the incursions store to be an improvement, add epic officers for all three strike crews.

[shrewd rover]

Can we get boxes greater than 1? Really annoying 1 at a time

[wooden spire]

It makes no sense not to use sliders on everything in game. Using my huge amount of Rom officer shards is painful, especially with the lag which has worsened with officer pulls over time.

[flint elm]

Please could we get more lvl49-51 armadas. It’s pretty hard trying to spend epic directives. Got 13k lying around.

[tardy meadow]

when we gonna spend these

[fringe stirrup]

why this event was not run in APAC incrusion @tacit obsidian @royal solar

[proper raft]

What’s with the lack of events on eu servers? Is it so that we log off and reduce the lag for the APAC servers?

[gritty scroll]

Is the bug known that slots are arbitrarily deleted when changing the officer preferences?

[quartz light]

Yes

.

What's the next faction reputation lock after 1Bn?

[hollow pike]

15Bn

[livid spear]

Are people been shadow banned or somthing.

[pastel path]

What's shadow banned?

[terse tundra]

Will I be able to use my existing leftover “incursion 2” coins for the event store, or did they introduce a new currency?

[leaden umbra]

You need talondarsek now.

the currency from the duality event store

[mortal helm]

The ones that do power match.

[lunar forge]

Fix the damn lag

[vivid gale]

@lunar forge I will expand on the lag thing, STOP dropping people in the middle of battle. I ve been dropped 24 times since reset today alone and the lag is so bad that I quit raiding and bubbled until scopley fixes it

[carmine pike]

Hostile Hunt why are not the 30 Armadas included in the event as you have everything else just not them as this is just not fair.

[nova sierra]

Ta

[glad cradle]

I just got the can’t raid a base glitch. Is there a workaround until it’s fixed, or are we screwed until it’s fixed?

[umbral wren]

the work around is..... to not play the game

[glad cradle]

Definitely not a solution

[unborn niche]

It is a solution…just not a fix

[grizzled dagger]

This crap again I lost everything to this. Lost my phone for 3 days and then I find it. Didn't know two move.

[mild fulcrum]

Yeah it was announced way before that. #⭐-official-announcements message

[pure nebula]

Maybe I took it? If so thx.. Be at ease, you were not alone

[pseudo thicket]

LAG, LAG, LAG, LAG! This is ludicrous, I’ve had to restart 3 times since reset.

[torpid kelp]

@vale wasp @north perch Are they kidding me? I jump over with 30 chips, after a restart I land on our server with 0 chips

[clever orbit]

same happened to me, i had 100 chips, only have 60 now, only tried to transfer once

[hushed crown]

Can’t get Ito game don’t even no we’re I am there side or mine can’t shield

[torpid kelp]

@pulsar leaf ☝️

[zinc swan]

Unrelated to incursion, I think you should do a vi'dar loot exo exchange. Like be able to convert say 5 vi'dar ones to a talios one of the same quality

[modern vault]

Lag is ridiculous on 163 vs 164

5 minutes to load a system is worse than I expected

[vague cipher]

Since 18:00 I can't get into the game... and I don't know when I'll finally be allowed to at least put up a shield, because I don't have time for more now

[bright tiger]

nice job with the copy and paste with the ops 30 to 39 ships although you missed the talios, defiant and titan from the list. Gettting killed by any of those in pvp gives no points for a win or a loss good job for making incursions worse 🖖

[vocal plover]

Please remember your donations are not tax deductible

[lucid spade]

dont you need to be a none profit or something to take donations?

[wooden spire]

Faction hunt at the same time as incursions again! Why keep doing that? Hundreds of hostiles to hit for faction hunt because it’s a stupid event, and try to do incursion too, and not get hit by the other server while doing faction munt. Shield and logging off, shove it.

[torpid cargo]

Sounds like it will spur some good PvP action.

[bright tiger]

may be but it won't effect the pvp sms at all given they are in set systems so it goes to show how poor the overlords are at planning pvp events

[wooden spire]

Nope, just makes people like me log off and not bother with the hassle. Not to mention there’s no such thing as “good pvp action” in this unbalanced game. It was bad before, then strike teams were introduced and that was the end of that.

[nova sierra]

One guy on our server was calling everyone bullies because he got raided during incursions because he was playing the game on an old iphone 6, and it kept crashing. 😂

1. Don't play on a device with 2GB RAM (The game really needs 4GB)
2. People aren't mind readers

[fallen epoch]

4 is not enough anymore either

[nova sierra]

Well the game SHOULD run on a 4GB just fine unless the mobile device's OS hogs everything. The game on the PC never exceeds 3GB RAM use, but to be safe, I wouldn't run STFC on a mobile device with less than 6 GB RAM

[pastel path]

Or just shield up and skip it if your on a poor connection for whatever reason lol

[fallen epoch]

Essentially my thinking as well

[lucid spade]

if your talking about me, incursions hadnt started when i reported a guy for ordering his alliance to mass kill me and having a curseword for an alliance name and i think he is still around dunno if anyone ever did anything about it. That being side i have no idea how to check what server i am on.

[nova sierra]

No idea who you are or what server you're on, but probably not you.

[brittle tapir]

anyone else have shields drop in level 9 system during incursion. i had 7 day shield up in vogum level 9 space and as soon as incursions started my 7 day shield dropped this fn bs

[cursive snow]

@tacit obsidian about a year or so ago I could repair station guns easily and quickly. Now, either during incursions or not during incursion gun repair is slow as heck. Click repair used to instantly bring up the interface and I could repair 4 guns in 1 second. Now it takes a lot longer to do the same thing.

I hope to see more work on the client to make interface interactions smooth again

[tranquil ermine]

Whose dumb idea was it to do amalgamans cosmic cleanups in 8's?

[random lintel]

The incursion exos said they went all day today, but now they’re gone?

[gaunt flame]

Still not able to login again!!!

[woeful nymph]

Would it really have killed Scopely to leave the incursions consumables up till reset tomorrow? They were up there for like 5 hours then they pulled them. Very disappointing. It's another example of something being player beneficial that gets yanked for no good reason @tacit obsidian @royal solar

[nova sierra]

SCopley should just Take away incursions. it does nothing but make people quit the game.... fun for all the high +55s but anyone under, its not fun at all.. I guess NO doesnt mean No in the eyes of Scopley.. and in this day and age, thats toxic

[glacial flint]

they dont even have to be that high we had almost nothing to fight the 49+ & a 50 had a 100m Ent-A

[nova sierra]

true. but people will just say, shield up or do not play for a day, well, a day makes alot of progress, even if its a little in game. they never learn with this horrible event. they never did an actual Vote to see how many players per server want to actually play the incursions. I saw no Registration for it. xD oh well.. Been saying for years Scopley, Doesnt care for its players.

[glacial flint]

no most of the time they only care about the whales🤷‍♂️ but like i said even @my ops 31 i had 38's running from me during incursions, its about research, the triangle & officers.

[pale garnet]

pvp within reason - one that you have at least a chance of matching up to, is one thing, but 10 lvs and thousands of strength more is blatant bullying endorsed by scopely

[vale wasp]

You should contact CS regarding player if you believe a player has broken the ToS.

[short iron]

this is not funny to play with... while war is going on and insulting i expect someone of you guys will resolve it quickly! this has no place in the game like star trek fleet command

wonder if this need to be on tiktok before some action will be taken

[nova sierra]

Or you need to follow the advice given by Cand1e and contact CS.

Going to various social media platforms to try and avoid using a mechanism to raise issues much like this one seems decidedly counterproductive.

[nova sierra]

Planets where starbases can be placed should also be shown in the Galaxy map. Either solution PICTURE 1 or PICTURE 2, best to implement both solutions.

This makes it easier to search for systems where you can place your base or for server PVP.

[shadow aspen]

Great idea ☝️

[white fog]

A G4 Uncommon Armada Pack, 2 pull(400k)...the rewards need to be updated

[wooden spire]

Which just means you had strike team officers and they didn’t. That’s all there is to PvP now.

[nova sierra]

Could we add explanations for each loop in the game (Stella, bajoran, swarm, augment etc) into field training? Will help explain loops to newer players and also have some incentive / reward to get started

[compact terrace]

Ive made similar suggestions... I dont think they want to expand Field Training...

Field Training would be a great enhancement to the holodeck missions since they actually want you to pay real money for those missions if you weren't around for the initial arcs (so you can complete them) which is stupid.

[vale osprey]

In incursions why isn't there a level cap. Prime example my server was put up against another server who had level 60s, 59s, 58s you get the point, our highest players are only 56, and am ops 52, why isn't there 5 up and down per your ops level. 🙄

[sage token]

is there a place that says when upcoming server mergers are coming. when will server 30 merge?

[fallen epoch]

When Scopely decides

They announce them every 3 months

[sage token]

Idk if this should go in feedback or suggestions but we need to be able to buy shields in bulk. It's painful to buy them 1 at a time.

[edgy scarab]

Tie for first but got 2nd place rewards? Why?

[vale wasp]

RNG determines the winner in cases of a tie. I'd avoid ties if you want the win.

[tepid bramble]

Because scopy sucks, and generally it’s not Rng, it is the last person to get that score, so if you got it first, the next guy can tie you at the end and win. Been that way since I started in 19 and poachers play with that in mind.

[drifting karma]

so. seems people can steel other player's IGN - exact copy. when i search for the name, the system returns no results, even tho there are two players using the exact same name. Duplicating someone's name just shouldn't be a thing, and isn't a thing anywhere else (that i know of) except in this game.

[vale wasp]

Stealing another's name isn't possible. It's more likely they are using replacement characters that look similar. A lowercase L looks like an uppercase I, for example. That said, impersonating another player isn't allowed per the ToS, and you should contact CS if you see someone doing it.

[pliant crow]

To be fair CS is less use than writing it on a post note and then wiping your a*** with it. Numerous players have been reported for T&C breach on our server with supporting screenshots to demonstrate the changes and the ticket is closed without response and the players are all still there. Numerous ftp players now on the 3rd accounts, half our leaderboard are accounts that quit but are still active in hands of much lesser players and one of them even died 2 years ago and yet still plays controlled by someone else who switched. All the bugs we report go nowhere and any abuse, bullying, racism, hate, etc gets ignored. There has been several high profile characters leave server 139 in recent weeks and today I have finally joined them. I’d be embarrassed to represent them here

[high warren]

How do we go about getting scopely to add q and the stargazer into the game?

[edgy harness]

There is a means to copy/spoof a name without resorting to similar character spoofing. Won’t detail it here but it can be done exact. Can even look identical next to each other in event or rankings listings.

[fringe stirrup]

no of zone should increase by alliance lvl otherwise why its even there makes no sense

[nova sierra]

It does. Look at lower levels.

[fringe stirrup]

oh my bad so it stops at 20 ..ummm then 1 more zone every 20 lvl would be nice

[nova sierra]

It’s to stop whale alliances holding all the territory.

[silk charm]

do your alliance members really want to do 20 territory defenses a week anyway? It's doing everyone else a favor, but it's doing you a favor too.

[dark niche]

Is it just me or did just the Faction hunt rewards get ravaged? i remember them beeing like 3-4 times as high and now they are notacibly low. is this an attempt to boost sales by periodicly nerfing event rewards to the point where "free to play" ends up going nowhere? had several notice that the uncommon rewards have taking a facedive on these events.

[fringe stirrup]

Whales hold lot of things already 🤣 maybe expand TC and rework on old model of game rather then keep on introducing new things

[pliant crow]

That’s not generating the revenue is it! If they revamp it it will be to add a new type of armada and material to mine and another new single purpose ship all of which will allow a few thousands worth of packs to be sold to every whale. There no substance to the content. The content is designed around the ability to sell more only.

[vale wasp]

DM the details. I don't think a database can hold two of the same name in a field it wants to keep as unique, but let's have a look.

[gloomy elk]

Here's my feedback for the day... If there's nothing wrong with this picture then I hope I can play normally...

[tough orbit]

WWDC23: STFC in mixed reality 😍😍😍

[arctic knoll]

Not only that, the event points per hostile went way down too.

[dark niche]

not cool, i liked these, they were a grind but they payed out well, guess i might skipp em now.

[frail latch]

Are the formation armadas always supposed drop the extra box if all 3 are defeated?

[vale wasp]

Yes, always a yellow box if all 3.

[subtle urchin]

Suliban ship title, Vulcan ship graphic, Naussican headshot. Can you maybe be a bit more consistent here? Do the graphics designers even watch the show?

[tepid bramble]

That is definitely what happens. This is scopy after all.

[maiden pilot]

@royal solar @tacit obsidian question out of curiosity.... Any plans to address the complete cluster the game was a few weeks ago that made it basically unplayable? Or the lagfest at event reset yesterday? Because that utter disaster a few weeks ago wasn't even acknowledged. Just wondering.

[frail latch]

That's what I thought but not what is happening

[vale wasp]

Those are all yellow box wins, you only get the 2nd box if you're a starter or you're the lucky player in the group.

[nova sierra]

While I am sure this echos others, I am sharing my reasons for leaving STFC. Aside from agreeing with lots of the posts regarding issues with the game and level of support/resolutions (lacking and slow), the real bottom line is the lack of fun. I recently went on vacation and actually had to "plan" a time to log on to reset my shields, since there is no way to stack them. While I have plenty of 1 day tokens, only had a few 3 day. I needed 4 days. The other aspect is just to maintain and work dailies, let alone any other events, take hours per day. So, for me, the only enjoyable aspect of the game is the camaraderie of the alliances. That's fun interacting with the team. Will miss that. Live long and prosper. Take care all. 🖖

[white kite]

@tiny halo I smoked you a kipper, you weren't back for breakfast.

[solar copper]

We found out even partials 1/3 or 2/3 completions still get both chests just at a lower rate

[vale wasp]

That shouldn't happen. Definitely didn't happen on launch, might be new if that's a thing now.

[solar copper]

This is one of 2. The other was a 2/3 complete where I got both chests. Was fighting probes in between so missed the screenshot of it sadly.

[vale wasp]

There's no yellow chest in that one, that's the lucky chest.

The rewards are as follows:
Loot share from the left panel
Yellow chest from the bottom right panel if all 3 wings are defeated
Starter chest in top right panel if you're the starter
Lucky chest in top right panel if you're a non-starter who got the one random chest

[solar copper]

Either way lol I have received both from partials was my point.

[craggy viper]

I hate the Customer Support bot. And no email received on my ticket #9431408. John, from ticket ID #9431174 (now closed) told me to look for the email with that ID #9431408. However, got nothing. Very uneffective support.

[frail latch]

Thanks for clarifying 🖖

[icy lintel]

Officer presets still not working properly. Every time I save a new one In an empty slot it deletes a previously set one.

[worn pasture]

That's likely the result of identical characters from different languages being used. Many cyrillic letters, mostly vowels, look identical to English. That's probably what language symbol set this person is using to make a dupe or dupes of someone's username.

@vale wasp Would love if scopely fixed this. I think I'm actually gaivinox in-game with a capitol i because some chump stole the original after I used a joke name for a day.

Hypothetically, there are 5 other letters that could use cyrillic replacements in my username. That's dozens of variant potential while looking identical. Any name with vowels has potential for this. I only care because it means someone could be besmirching my good name elsewhere.

[ocean wagon]

Okay did support close? Ticket open since 2 June and not even, can you provide more info ?

[hidden night]

Open a ticket and ask for 1st place rewards, they've been pretty willing to do that to quite a few players on our server recently when we ran into ties.

[quasi wren]

Just putting this here

[soft terrace]

This is frustrating. This ship took me out legitimately under the RoE but still frustrating. A ship with this strength should be not able to take me out under any circumstances. Not sure if the majority agree but ships this strong don't need to even play under RoE. Maybe there could be different servers for lower rated ships to even out the playing field.

[surreal mica]

discord.gg/eHuUhbM6 isn't a valid link for one of the server 75 Discords. The permanent link is discord.gg/stfc75.

[craggy viper]

Whoa! At which level you get free parts like this?

[candid gazelle]

I know the frustation of getting hit by bigger ships.... But this guy at 39 is a low player, he can be hit by big players +50 that have ships with more than 100M power so, 99% of players are target of bigger fish

[trail halo]

Wonder if we will get a fix for the existing presets

[nova sierra]

the second ability of the voyager can't be true

[mild hemlock]

It is, no joking.

[finite raft]

i'm having a difficult time understanding why they made Harry Kim's BDA morale when the only real option should have been Neelix... i mean come on

[frail latch]

The "ignores all the research etc you've done thus far for mitigation, which is now irrelevant"?

[nova sierra]

no, the "you get some opc from me so now I'll more easily find your base and bully you for a month or two" one

[frail latch]

Oh, hadn't got that far because I'd laughed so much at the mitigation thing. That's also hilariously stupid.

[livid pasture]

Grrr… I’m getting so sick of f2p not being able to play for months. I’m halfway to my Titan and now there’s another ship I won’t have for 100 days, and this one seems cooler/more important. They could at least give some in the BP, even if that’s still not f2p… why can’t we just use the new stuff?? I’m also worried I might not be able to get the new epic, which means I won’t get to play around with the new ability which seems potentially pretty cool. Just let us use the new things!

Also, we don’t need more complicated mitigation stuff!! If you want to give us a new damage type so that we can restart research/officers to boost that damage so 10% to damage is actually useful, fine. But to add new mitigation, that’s different… what if the opponent has better mitigation for that? Then our research to increase how much of the damage is that type is counterproductive! You don’t need to make this so stupid complicated.

Ship loop seems cool, albeit complicated and I won’t have it for months!! Below decks morale is great for ent, or one of the FCs, epic captain’s ability could be nice, I want to test it. Love the base finding thing, but I won’t have it for months!!!!!!! New damage type, seems way to complicated, but maybe it was done well, or at least ok. Oh, believe decks mitigation, also seems cool. Won’t say no to another mitigation officer.

[gritty goblet]

This was not an issue, it was a feature. Please don't let there be endless pips on the faction menu now

[potent anvil]

I wasn't looking forward to having Neelix on my ships. But having Kim at the morale officer is just an extra kick in the face to poor Neelix 😂

[robust bough]

I made the mistake of buying the defiant - never again will I buy a ship I can just wait for

[void stump]

Hello <@&509691205798592532>
I'm a French player and i would like to program thé discord bot STFC in thé serveur of Our alliance. This bot recommand us to référence Our alliance in the official server STFC.
We suppose that it's here. Can someone help us please to configure it ?

[signal raft]

Directive 010 that's galaxy wide forced PvP??

[stuck delta]

Yay another 23 new currencies... please can we have a way to turn in all the useless crap we have accumulated... I thought this was a star trek game not a currency manager needing a spreadsheet

[nova sierra]

@tacit obsidian fast getting to a point where we are going to have to pick and choose which areas to work on, a lot to do with grinding, can we assume scopley will be cracking down on bot use?

[fallen epoch]

We don’t use that bot.

[marble swift]

I have to ask, where did the devs get the idea of using isolytic weapons(no use of this weapon recorded in the delta quadrant)The same weapons banned by the 2nd khitamor accord (nearly rhe entire alpha and beta quadrant signed up to it)as they do irreparable damage subspace. So no one and or mean no one unless they want to destroy subspace and never warp again would be using them. Do the devs spend anytime researching anything? What's the next update guys we ruined subspace no more warping

[viscid shell]

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxT3g7G82fXwRzM9FM-EP3q39j8S469DD6

[glad cradle]

Part 3? We’ve haven’t even started part 2!

[marble swift]

It's more nonsense

[signal raft]

Accurate

[viscid shell]

His Furriness was maybe a bit asleep already 🙂

[glad cradle]

Probably

[open ravine]

Yeah, we dont want to interact with our allys and other players anymore. Boaring guys, like after 50 years of marriage. We have a lot of fun collecting things all day... 🤡

[pine hare]

So, instead of punishing the cheaters and fixing the loop hole, Scopely decided to sell this as a feature.

GREAT JOB!

Get ready for a mass exodus from the game, "geniuses"

[deft girder]

and keeping all the players and avoiding bad rewies...

[charred ravine]

One grind more AND 3 more refines.

1. I am getting tired of pushing refines in the refinery. Have you sat down and measured how much time is needed to click through all of the refines in the refinery? It's super boring and such a silly lottery, Please do a "refine all at once" button: (you define what refines you want once, then press the "refine all" every-time there is new junk to refine).

2. It should be a mandatory design rule that if you introduce a new grind, one older grindloop is made faster/easier. Without it you are otherwise increasing frustration by adding more to do on top or forcing players to abandon a half-done grind-loop, and leaving things half-done also leads to frustration.

[robust bough]

Which loop hole?

[quasi trout]

Why are we getting Harry Kim as morale officer under deck? Especially, since Neelix is even called the morale officer in the show?! I understand that there must be some creative freedom for this game, but can we at least stay in line to what happened in the actual Star Trek shows to some extent?

Same with the new Isolytic damage, it does not make sense at all to use weapons that destroy subspace...

It feels like the writers are just using buzzwords from Star Trek, but are unaware of the actual story.

[tropic crown]

New feature to find enemy base is a bad idea. This will be used to harass players. It also going to be another reason to leave the game for people who are not PVPers.

[cosmic knoll]

removed franklin A loop with freebooters, re-introduced franklin loop reskinned as voyager, gj. should of increased voyagers base weapon dmg, and reduced its DQ multiplier to keep in line with talios/defiant ... but i guess thats beyond your comprehension.

[tacit knot]

• f2p Players will not have this feature for long time. They will be plundered even more.

[nova sierra]

also you have to mine stuff with the ship, like with the discovery, we should hope this time the nodes will not be so minuscule to have to micromanage the mining like with the mycelium nodes

[civic haven]

One life, but no life signatures. How’s that work, exactly?

[nova drum]

Why can't you put all the new data in the update in the playstore? Now you have the update and in the game you have to download 100mb before you can play

[shell root]

Scopley made such a big deal about reducing grind in the game, but every single thing that has been added since that point has brought with it an entirely new cycle of grinding. At this point there's more grind than before.

[lusty nebula]

Can't we just get a new ship without it needing to have some ultra special ability or new grind?

[civic haven]

One isoton per month seems like a way better deal. I don’t know how many million months this guy plans on living…smh who wrote these?!

[red cliff]

it fits just as well as all these artifacts like "bev crusher's hypospray" suddenly dropping off loot chests from delta quadrant spieces 4872 ships. it makes no sense period

[clever orbit]

GREAT sourcing for past 2 ship releases, really helping f2p players out! thanks

[tepid bramble]

Another grind ship…yea.

[marble swift]

Absolutely my point

[forest vine]

Scopely: "We will reduce the grind only so we can add more hostiles and new grind into the game!"

[crude rose]

How many people have zoom getting stuck bug? Fixing that would most basic thing for the game to not feel being in betatest phase.

[nova sierra]

Man, another cash grab. Seems like the way to win this game is by not playing.

[red cliff]

zoom bug is atrocious. its resposible for 99% of my restarts and happens at least once a day

[zealous trellis]

In EVE Online, "winning EVE" is uninstalling. I think the term should carry over.

[pallid jackal]

this update is the worst update yet - what a bunch of fluff and cashgrabs once again

The amount of grinding with the Voyager released now is absurd 😄 its even worse than before

[hazy harbor]

Mission "A hunter must Hunt part 1" asks to kill 3 hirogen of lvl 35 or higher, but any kill over lvl35 counts to completion

[frigid perch]

On my phone (Android) if the zoom stops working I find that switching to another app/game and then switching back fixes it for a while.

[tepid bramble]

And see we have nerfed the Higrogen spawn rates 🙄 typical scopy. You guys really know how to the suck the enjoyment out of your game.

[red cliff]

doesnt seem to work for me

[vale wasp]

The only workaround I've seen that might work is adjusting the display settings lower. The player used a 30fps and lower reso and seemed to have some success.

[strange cliff]

Hello - is there any place where i can check what are points requirements for each alliance level and what material is giving how much points in contribution? We want to push alliance level and we want to plan how much resources do we need for it

[tepid valve]

Asking us to farm Hirogens is a very poorly thought out idea. It’s gonna be like adding another Mantis grind, it won’t cost tokens, but we won’t be able to use Tal to bail us out either

[pallid jackal]

forget about those

[lime socket]

Tal works fine so far. Will depend on how much of this loot we need for other stuff after building the ship. I got 10k loot on my first run that’s 20 bps worth done

[gloomy lagoon]

And for those without Tal? 👀

[potent shard]

Well we see big ole scopely being the punks they are yet again. Pushing f2p out the door with the scan to find your base. That just opened the door for the whales and bullies wide open.

[lime socket]

I was responding to the comment that Tal wouldn’t bail us out, but if you don’t have him use 5 gorkon khan like for freebooters. Everyone should have Tal soon enough anyway.

[pallid jackal]

what about those species 8742 you need to grind - those are a real nightmare, you need to use the scan function to grind those

[fair basalt]

What happened to reducing the amount of grind needed? Same old scopley promising something then going the complete opposite way. Beyond a joke

[kind minnow]

so instead of less screen time. double the screen time scopely ?

[weak grove]

thus spoke scopely: thou shalt not have a real life! 🤦‍♂️

[potent blade]

Mining ships keep going into sleep mode. I pressed locate and it said it was out in Cardassia area but wouldn't pinpoint location. D'vor attacked a target but didn't engage. Never had any problems like these before

[pallid jackal]

aaaand the first poachers for species 8472 have appeared lol

[signal raft]

Are scopely refunding me for the primes I paid for last month which are now available free to play? Also the 2 primes that they made worthless within a period of 10 weeks?

[red cliff]

wow, i'm f2p and i don't see me having any of those primes! how am i missing out??

[lofty estuary]

Garbage update again. You are all liars.

[signal raft]

Check the field training

[nova sierra]

why exactly the new system have fog of war? what is the rationale for it?

[civic haven]

Last word should be “artifact”?

[signal raft]

Honestly I think Scopely have seriously done wrong with the recent primes and making the first 4 levels available free to play so soon after. Please provide details on how we can raise a complaint as people that paid should be allowed proper compensation

[red cliff]

oh, you mean the points that f2p will have to wait 100 days and grind a bunch of things to unlock? and to get a small small fraction of the benefit?

[rich elm]

not to mention it requires killing 6000 hostiles then trade 100k insignias and harvest 50 mil anomaly, whatever those are, that seems like its going to take forever anyway

[signal raft]

Yes. But still the fact they made that available less than a month after releasing the primes is a joke. People that paid for them should be compensated

[red cliff]

since when is 100 days less than a month?

[rich elm]

I think what you are going through is called buyer's remorse. You paid for colored pixels. You wish you didn't ... but it's all your doing, and you will have to live with it.

[signal raft]

I'm talking from release date of the primes to making them available for free. Not the actual grind. Keep up. As for the buyers remorse comment from Retrieving. Scopely have never done this before. It's not fair.

[red cliff]

Never done this before? Like allowing players to buy the full bp for Titan ship and allowing f2p players to spend 100 days to grind it for free? Like Defiant, allowing players to buy instantly then having f2p grind it for 100 days? Never! only 100 days of exclusive benefit for 7x more effect! that sounds not fair at all...

[lime scroll]

Where does one find [DQ] tagged hostiles?

[fast cedar]

Does anyone know how I get the mission Voyage to Velixys so I can unlock the super highway for the new area?

[last nest]

imagine crying because you spent $900

[echo basin]

Me: "Is this ship and this grind even worth it? It seems painful."
Scopely: "Spend $400 and find out!"

[fossil bolt]

It's such a travesty that Scopely has raped Voyager into a sad support ship with no general significance at all, just to create new money grabbing grinds and ridiculous ship part and research refineries, what a massive shame. They should lose their Star Trek IP over this, because it has nothing to do with Star Trek anymore 😟

[old seal]

Best thing for this game up to this arc...get rid of swarm, Stella , augment, worms, daily hostile kills. Start afresh with this new loop rubbish/ grind. Otherwise just another layer on top of each other.
It's a full time job this , not a game anymore.

[solid jay]

Fill in the blanks.
Herogen artifacts I can tell are going to be another pain in the ______.
In a game that already demands too much time it's a ______ move to make the loot drops and number of Herogen hunters spawning in a system so _______ stingy.
Honestly, I pay out the _____ to save time and you give us another grind similar to the pain in the ___ Mantis and and collecting venom.
Please fix this ____ up.

[nova sierra]

Just a bit of positive feedback: as an ops 54 player I really love the fact I can still get Vahklas bp's when killing level 50 and over hostiles. It genuinely helps me build and scrap useless ships to get resources I haven't needed in almost half a decade. Really appreciate Scopely looking out for players and making sure they have a good reward system in place that helps players of all levels. Well done, people. Good work. Keep it up. Hope your cat dies. Of course I don't, I love cats. The chests hostiles drop on the other hand: not so much.

Sorry, I tried to stay positive. It was too much, apologies.

[flat wyvern]

I do not need grind any more for voyager bp (with 2 rounds I got all needed token for all bp <= Tal effect)

[solid jay]

Hirogen relics! Arrrrrrrgggggf! Enough hard-core grind already. Please, I beg you to make the Hirogen Relics much easier to gather. Not another annoying Mantis grind please, yet this one is worse yet.
I know yall like to try to get away with stuff like this but I am telling everyone not to buy the Voyager like I did. Treat your paying customers and the loyal F2P players with some respect for our time.

[worthy trench]

where do you find this?

[latent kindle]

For heavens sake Scopeley, the latest update is full of ridiculous glitches. Buffs disappearing, ships purporting to be somewhere they are not or randomly saying they have levelled up. Does your team actually test updates?

[arctic lake]

Warp timers are messed up.

[fair pendant]

How the f are we suppose to bring a voyager. Level 35 hostiles are 28 mil and they destroy my ship without me denting them.

[latent kindle]

Yes I forgot the warp timers ty.

[arctic lake]

Oh and apparently the Talios has been equipped with holographic projectors and can appear as either a hijacked mayflour or a Pilum.

If you scroll through the ships from left to right it appears as a H. Mayflower. If you scroll from right to left it appears as the Pillum. Neat trick. 🤦‍♂️

[swift raft]

Six months later and UI scaling on third gen iPhone SE is STILL broken.

[rich elm]

Field Training, they added a new category

[slate crescent]

General feedback for <@&509690795536941056> and the devs:

• The community managers are rare to say anything meaningful.
• The devs never speak openly whatsoever.
• Packs are overpriced for what you get, particularly with the lack of communication mentioned prior.
• Feedback seems to be generally ignore unless it affects the mass of the majority
  ignored
• bugs are persistent across new releases
• new bugs are introduced with every release

I have every confidence that this feedback will also be ignored, as per usual.

[nova sierra]

I suggested field training be used to explain loops in more detail. So glad this loop is getting this!

[compact terrace]

so... explain this one to me... we need the Hirogen Relics to get the USS Voyager blueprint shards, but they reward us with the Hirogen Relics AFTER we get the Voyager built????

[stuck marsh]

What level is needed to see that?

[compact terrace]

im 35.. i think 30, but you cant build it until 34

[placid rain]

So this new upgrade allows you to scan players ships to find their bases? Excuse me what? What a great way to reward Rogues and Bullies and punish smaller players in particular. Great job! (NOT)

[worn pasture]

Please get the rights to use Jason Alexander's face for Officer Kurros of the think tank. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I want my enemy commanders to see George Costanzas face when they die to my photon cannons.

[obsidian plinth]

@royal solar I am glad Scopely are aware of the issues with the Voyager ability and suspect they will focus on that because of the people paying for it

When they are finished pandering to the P2P element, could they also look at:

Survey ships flashing "level up" every few minutes

Being kicked out of the new systems as if you have warped out while you are still grinding

While I understand P2P takes priority, new players might become payers and if I started now I would say sod this and find another game

[worn pasture]

I don't know who needs to hear this (you do), but fixing a paid feature isn't pandering, it's appropriate prioritization. I didn't pay for it, but I agree that should be top of the ticket.

Visual glitches that causes no tangible problem aren't as important, even if longstanding.

[obsidian plinth]

Especially as advertised as a F2P game.

Yes it is pandering, but will be a priority, which is why I said after

I don't know who needs to hear this (you do), but reading comprehension is important before you reply to a comment

[worn pasture]

Let's all google pandering. Does it say "fix critical bug in brand new feature"? Is that pandering?

[tropic sinew]

Once AGAIN, Scopley has released crap without bothering to even test it. How many times do we have to ask for them to test before releasing? I mean seriously.... anyways, hope everyones enjoying their new cash grab ship.

[obsidian plinth]

You mean gratify or indulge the desire of a person or group?

You really need to think before posting 😂

[worn pasture]

So, a brand new feature working correctly is an indulgence of a specific desire? Sounds more like they're trying to get it to work properly, as intended, which isn't pandering. Say less, I think a whole lot.

[tropic sinew]

This is a place to provide "general feedback", not argue back and forth with random people on the internet like 10 year olds

[obsidian plinth]

You are correct and I apologise, it's just that every time you try and provide feedback on this channel someone just has to jump in and argue, which gets frustrating

[worn pasture]

I'll continue spitting facts as I see fit. Your feedback is incorrect.

[obsidian plinth]

😂😂😂 you learn as an adult that personal opinion isn't fact. After a hard day at work I have to thank you for making me laugh

Carry on and post what you want and I will continue to give my feedback when I wish and let Scopely decide whether it's relevant

And now I will return to a game I enjoy despite the issues

[worn pasture]

It's ok to admit defeat. I'm just pandering to you.

[obsidian plinth]

Are you Cliff from Cheers in disguise?

Apologies to the channel once again, I couldn't resist 😅

[worn pasture]

Thr actor who played Cliff said "Cliff is a wingnut that holds western civilization together".

I accept your compliment, even if pandering.

[tribal cloud]

I have to ask the Scopely employees who fumble the ball over and over here. Do you practice at being bad at your job and keeping it? What's your secret?

[cosmic knoll]

erm ... Ablative amplifiers is DEFIANT juice? Deuterium Canister is the VOYAGER juice ... lol. but ty for some kind of comp

[abstract ocean]

Thanks for the amplifiers that are absolutely USELESS on my new voyager

[obsidian plinth]

Some of us are very happy with Defiant Juice, but its definitely another error

[arctic lake]

There are legitimate functional problems, I believe most of which have been mentioned and that do affect gameplay. For example I keep getting "zZ" icon on my dock A which keeps me from relocating, even though it is in dock. It is understandable that sCoPeLy will chase the issues affecting sales first. But that they release an update so bug riddled, and do this every arc is annoying.

[worn pasture]

The display glitches mentioned above were just that, display glitches.

[obsidian plinth]

And therefore shouldn't be fed back?

Edited to add, we have had a fun little disagreement, but in this channel players should be able to voice any feedback they desire

[gleaming nebula]

Some joke? Compensation chest 🫤

[waxen tinsel]

If sending the wrong currency in the comp chest isn’t proof that the game has way too many currencies, I don’t know what is…

[obsidian plinth]

It is becoming silly, you only have to look at armada directives

They are not even grouped together when you look to see how many of each you have

[abstract ocean]

@royal solar @tacit obsidian why was the wrong currency sent in the comp chest?

[civic sparrow]

Mmmm thank you for the defiant juice i think ..... .LOL

[neat token]

I haven't been able to find the Voyager refinery. Can someone point me to it.

[arctic lake]

Probably need to run a second update. Check app store.

[warped hemlock]

She looks gorgeous 😍
A little disappointed the nacelles don't fold up during warp like in the series but I'm guessing getting it to do that would be a whole lot more coding purely for aesthetics

[tawny walrus]

How is it we have Klaa and Vixis from ST:V but no Sybok?! This is my pain. 😦

[hollow iris]

Are there any plans to take the game offline to fix the multiple issues currently happening in game? I have ships showing levelling up while mining, ships mining not showing mining, ships not showing up in systems at all when they are there, then showing up minutes later, getting booted from the game every 3 to 5 minutes....

[gleaming nebula]

This is the most pathetic compensation chest for making the game totally unplayable. Crashing every 2 min, ships quit mining, nodes don’t refresh, dock’s keep showing ship outside base, and many more. I’m sure this compensation won’t cover all the headaches you giving us with this update

[hollow iris]

I think that compensation is for not being able to use the Defiant ability if you purchased the prime efficiency, which is finally fixed.

[scenic pivot]

I like to think that they just mixed up the Deuterium Cannisters and the Ablative Amplifiers because the icons resemble each other
(also, I didn't getthe prime efficiency and I got the comp chest)

[gleaming nebula]

I didn’t because team members reported broken after 2 minutes they got it

[tropic sinew]

The community is tired of these garbage cash grab ships , we have enough stuff to grind daily, why does Scopley say they are working on making our daily grind "less", and then do the exact opposite? We are also tired of PAYING Scopley to beta test for them. Especially for things that a real actual player could test and figure out there's a problem in literally 5-10 minutes.

[pallid jackal]

Man the game is bugged so bad right now 😂

[tardy meadow]

whatabout disccovery's warp jump

[kind minnow]

comp chest has defiant stuff in it ?

[warped hemlock]

Do you mean it's mycelium jump? Is it animated? I never thought to check since it's near instant travel

[tardy meadow]

it is, if you look at it from the system, you see the animation, and if you look at it from ship managment, you also see the animation

[warped hemlock]

I'll have to have a play with it, see if my game can load quick enough to show it 😅
Edit: just tried it with recall and that's awesome, can't believe I never realised. Now they have no excuse for not doing it with Voyager!

[opal crane]

Was there an issue on the using the Voyager juice.... so the 'compensation' was Defiant juice? lol

[hollow iris]

Yes, if you bought the Defiant Efficiency Prime last month you couldn't use the ability. Not sure if it affected everyone that bought it, but it affected plenty of us.

[opal crane]

i didn't buy that, but the reported issue was with the Voyager... so why give compensation for the Defiant is more my question... just seems... pointless.

[hollow iris]

I don't think they were giving compensation yet for the Voyager issue, they were giving compensation for the previously reported issue for the Defiant that just got fixed last night. Whether you bought the Prime or not.

[fickle plank]

Please make the NPC invisible for other players, which spawns by using the Voyager ability

[cosmic knoll]

Is going to be a massive pvp mess when everyone has a voyager. Theres 50 days to fix it ... dont hold breath

[kind minnow]

speaking of comp chests. has the incursion one for bye week servers been rolled out >

[shell bridge]

Normal traders in sol, romulus and chronos are spawning only once a hour??? Really low respawn

[hollow iris]

That doesn't seem any different than it's always been. Just need someone to kill the heavies

[random lintel]

I really like the new training missions for new content. Doing this makes a lot of sense. And adding the prime particles in there is perfect. Keep doing this!

[median delta]

I really believe y’all are trying to get folks to quit, you surely ain’t listening. Another specialty ship? More grinding? More currencies?

This feels more like a job than a game

[polar basin]

So many exciting new bugs this arc 😍 . Like "Is my ship dead or not" quiz. Or "Where is my ship right now?"
You guys always think so hard about how to make our gameplay more interesting.
Thank you. Cant wait for the next arc

[true zealot]

Thanks for having webstore event on day 1 of the arc scopes. That's pretty sweet.

[trail vault]

I wonder when they're going to send out the real compensation gift. The one that's for the voyager and not the defiant.

[gleaming nebula]

Anyone noticed something strange? Since the new update that makes the game unplayable the moderators are very quiet. 🤔

[tawdry quarry]

It's called server resource allocation cost savings... means less CPU cost since they know we aren't going anywhere....

[dire yew]

CAN YOU GUYS LET US KNOW WHEN THE CLAIM PERIOD ISNT 24 HOURS LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE? ITS THE SAME DAMN THING AS THE ARTIFACT CHESTS WHEN YOU DROPPED THE SLB ON THE SECOND DAY

[glad cradle]

Anyone know where the Voyage to Velixys mission is located?

[dire wigeon]

you have to do the research to unlock the mission

[fiery gorge]

The thumbnail for the Titan in Swap Ship screen is showing a Voyager instead. Also, the Voyager's Photon Torpedoes are listed as Energy Weapons... Just a tad annoying.

[glad cradle]

I’m pretty sure it’s in the Starships tree. Which research is it?

[dire wigeon]

Delta quadrant analysis

[tame spade]

Anyone else’s game randomly crashing whenever they try to type in in-game chat?

Or ships in dock randomly disappearing from dock just to say they’re in dock when you tap recall but you still can’t use them?

(All in iOS)

Apologies if it was already posted… I didn’t scroll back through a ton of messages yet.

[polar basin]

Memory Leaks. Getting worse with every arc. So with a more modern device with more memory you have more time until it crashes. Please note you will have a crash even when not clicking anything. Just wait and you will enjoy an OutOfMemory in action. Top notch engineering team

[tepid bramble]

I would just like to say these cool downs are getting stupid. Like ridiculously so. It does NOT encourage me to engage in the content, and when I found out about the Voyager ones (glad I did btw) actually stopped me from buying the ship. Way to go scopy. 👍

[woeful coral]

They specifically said they were giving the Comp chest to Voyager owners in Official Announcements earlier today because the base scan ability wasn't working on active miners.

[fossil stratus]

Well Scopely, you’ve made it more difficult to play this game solo. Your events mainly center around alliance tactics like armadas and starbases. I’ve poured a lot of money into this game rather foolishly I suppose. It’s a shame. Being one who watched TOS when they first aired and yet unable to enjoy the game as an independent.

[potent shard]

So what's the next compensation gift, 1 bar of latnium?

[subtle lichen]

I lost half a rogue token today. That's not a visual glitch. We have players unable to play due to ships not responding, stations stuck mid-transfer, and the game crashing or freezing... those aren't visual glitches either. There's a baseline level of professionalism expected... we've reported issues all day and received no response.

[edgy harness]

UFIA ☝🏾

[stiff latch]

<@&509691205798592532> You might want to let them know that rarely it is that people get paid on a Tuesday night. Some of us save to spend and to only have Voyager available to purchase for one day only is bad form. Should be at least through Friday.

[echo wadi]

They should increase the node size or mining rate for the new rss mining nodes. it takes 35k for the lowest chest and the nodes are only 5k. means i gotta mine them 7 times for the LOWEST chest. my FASTEST miner does this at 3830/hr. so almost 10 hours of continuous mining for the lowest chest. the nodes are very small and are limited in each system. AND you cant see into the system to see if it is full of miners or not, so you may just waste your token going into a system with other miners. my miner wont fill up its cargo for 123 DAYS of continuous mining. GL to any players that didnt buy a pack to get onto nodes to mine this rss cause all the players that DID buy one will be holding them down for MONTHS. the new ship doesnt seem to be able to mine them at any great rate to constitute using it instead of a normal miner either. This seems like a half thought out arc where everybody on the DEV team did their own little thing and never communicated with eachother on how everything correlates together. im seeing whales with 113M G5 miners hitting the HOSTILES in the system to get the rss because it takes them 1/1000th the time to get the same rss and they can farm enough for a couple weeks worth of turn-ins with a single token. but players that dont have a G5 miner have no way imaginable to do this. <@&509691205798592532>

[nimble pawn]

It’s clearly intended to be extensive effort to get enough to refine. Given that the loot options include the new isolytic artifact pieces, it’s not surprising to see a long loop to pull a chest.

[echo wadi]

thats not true, because there isnt any sourcing for the rare rss for the rare chest EXCEPT through the hostiles in the token system (from what ive been able to find from my own exploration as well as alliance members in the other token systems). which makes this seem like it is purely catering to whales with 100M+ miners that can hit these hostiles for 125,000 of the rare rss with a trip in their G5. no player without a G5 is going to be able to farm that in even a YEAR of grinding these things. meanwhile whales are gonna max all of these artifacts in that time. Just seems like a PURE money-grab arc with zero thought for anybody that doesnt dump $10,000+ a month/year on the game.

[nimble pawn]

Again, for the average player this is meant to be a long loop grind. Of course the mega whales have it easier, that’s why they’re mega whales. Your complaint here isn’t about the new loop but about the disparity between F2P/Casual spenders and mega whales.

[echo wadi]

thats is false, and i guaruntee it wasnt meant as a long term grind in that regard. the artifacts already willl take players YEARS to max out from all the other sources of artifacts. THIS arc is making the associated artifacts take CENTURIES for a F2P. there is no way in ANY imagination or universe they intended to make it THAT MUCH of a grind to get those artifacts. the UNC chest should be able to be pulled on a somewhat normal basis like every couple days or so, hence the 3D timer on the chest to get the token. the rare one by conjunction of EVERY OTHER UNC/RARE/EPIC CHEST type in this game to date, should only take a week or two of grind to get. as it is right now, a F2P hitting those hostiles with the most efficient crew still wont get a rare chest for MONTHS if not YEARS. and thats at the expense of not mining the UNC rss but instead just putting all their effort into hitting the hostiles in the token system. no way that was the intention from scopely. <@&509691205798592532> any insight here?

[plush mortar]

Yeah moderators where the $#@& is my free grind for a voyager might as well pay for the dam game at this point with all the pay walls

[echo wadi]

i bought a pack just to open enough chests to try hitting the token space hostiles with my most efficient crew and only got a couple thousand for the rare rss from the hostiles. that means to get a single rare chest will take me over 60 tokens (3day chest for tokens= 180 days, almost half a year) to do a single rare chest pull. based on that logic, even if you got a 5x pull of every single one of the artifacts every time and the upgrade level cost for them remained at 50 for every upgrade level, it would take 200 pulls to max an artifact. that means it would take somebody 100 YEARS of grinding and pulling on C/D with the best luck in the world of getting 5x artifacts every single pull, to max an artifact. 500 years if they only got 1 artifact of the same one every pull.
Correction: after further review, there is a research that provides a MASSIVE buff to the voyager mining rate of the new rss. you just gotta deal with having a tiny cargo hold to mine with.

[plush mortar]

Two years and four hundred and fifty bucks ...at least I have a enterprise just another two years for a 4* vessel am I right ?

[tropic crown]

@tacit obsidian why add a ability to find bases? Hiding and shielding are the average players protection from whales. We can’t fight them and now you made it easier for whales to screw over the average player yet again. This is a tool that will be used to harass other players.

[dire wigeon]

Voyager farms the resources very fast. It just takes time to build up its cargio hold to be useful

[tropic crown]

@tacit obsidian also why is there no way for below 35 to get below deck presets?

[dire yew]

your welcome. I'm close to just asking for a refund or disputing the charge. scopely has borked it.

[tropic crown]

How long are the cool downs?

[nova sierra]

1 day and 3 days respectively for Hirogen kills and 8472 kills

Not seeing that as the end of the world, gotta be honest.

Here’s where your trips for the sample refines go down.

[nova sierra]

My insight would be to take stock, calm down and explore the loop and associated researches before going off the handle; there is (predictably) research to improve the cargo of Voyager significantly, and there are crew choices you can make too. Yes, at each stage of the loop I don’t entirely feel like I “know” why I’m doing it and it feels like a long way to get rewards, but I don’t see the need for shouting at anything and anyone in reach. 🙂

[echo wadi]

I've noticed that on stfc.space it shows that the system in question has both common and rare mining nodes, but i have yet to see any rare nodes. it says there should be 8 of each, but im only seeing 12 nodes, and they are all common. do the nodes have a special respawn/refresh mechanic where a rare only shows up once in a while or is it broken? being able to mine the rare material would dispel my earlier concerns, but im not seeing it yet.

[iron drum]

Once a node is depleted it disappears and a new one spawns. I have seen 25k rare nodes appear. I will be holding off on mining the rare until I get higher cargo capacity. I just got to t2 on my voyager and cargo went from 5k to 22k.

[nova sierra]

There were rares in the system I was in last night.

[sacred garden]

Wow for claiming to fix the grinding y’all just keep making the grind worse not better.

[tame spade]

Free to play is possible.

Check your refinery.
There’s a Uss Voyager tab in the refinery if you scroll all the way down. Grind out enough hirogen to get 500 currency and you can get 1 whole Voyager blueprint. (But only 1 per day.)

Only take just over 3 months if you collect them that way. (100 to unlock the ship to build)

[plush mortar]

Thank you hiro sorry I'm just kinda frustrated with the game rn

[pure nebula]

Voyager packs missing from web store

[gleaming nebula]

Those who always shield will be shielded anyway. I’m not a whale but i target whales to raid so don’t say it’s the whale who raid because they are most likely your smallest problem. The ability is great in my opinion, it makes it easier to find those few players who don’t really play the game except log on, kill miners in several systems and log off for a hour or so after a few insults on galaxy chat. Searching for this kind of player cost lot’s of game time, now the table is turned. I can find him in seconds, force to shield or relocate, use up all his tokens and prevent him from being a bully

[leaden fiber]

Did I miss something in Star Trek??? Did USS Voyager ever get the ability to scan a ship and find its base... How the hell did Scopely ever come up with that crap?
What would have been reasonable in the star trek universe, would be the ability to plant a tracker to a ship (by scanning), allowing them to be tracked in warp for a limited time... which "may or may not" give you the coordinates of the base depending on where the go.

[pure nebula]

Magic.. just like that. Now there

[tame spade]

No problem. Believe me I know the feeling… the constant crashes, ships disappearing from dock, etc etc today has been more then a bit frustrating.

[plush mortar]

Lol

[flint elm]

Could you stop adding YouTube links to the arc summary on game start. It’s annoying and I’ve never watched it.

[nova sierra]

You should, it’s a good explanation of isolytic damage 🙂

[sick egret]

ship XP needs to be buffed. Survey ships must gain xp while mining and specialty ships should gain extra xp against their designated targets (ie visar against probes). Players shouldn’t take hours of grinding to simply get a ship from level 20 to 21.

[abstract ocean]

How do you get more of the voyager mats for the active ability? I was expecting a daily chest to appear...?

[nova sierra]

Why do we have more grind. I’m holding on here guys. I love this game but it’s getting to the point where it’s not even fun any more. Garentee no one plays this game who works for scopley. All we get to do is spend hours a day doing bajor grind, 4* ship parts, 5* shipparts, eclipse hostile grinding, data mining, keeping topped up on iso and 3* 4* and 5* materials, mining lat, grinding borg and grinding actian hostiles for the mantis, grinding rep. All while doing our dailies and our events.

New things to buy constantly. New support ships new one trick pony ships. The glitches and the bugs are ridiculous

None of that is fun. All of it is a grind to have fun later but the later never comes it’s just more work. The game was the most fun when you finished your dailies and events in 1 hour and after that you could do something else with your life or have fun on the game by doing your own thing. Now all the game does is make you feel like you need to play hours a day and not doing fun things. Doing boring things.

[flint elm]

That may be true, but I do not appreciate unsolicited links opening up without warning!

[cerulean sandal]

I have concerns about the Voyager's ability to locate stations in the game. It will be exploited by bullying players to attack and victimize others. The excuse that victims can shield themselves is ineffective because bullies can simply park their ships around the victim's station, making gameplay impossible. Even if the victims try to move their station as soon as they are sighted, they will end up back where they started without recourse. It's a concerning situation, and we shouldn't delude ourselves into thinking it won't lead to negative consequences. This feature benefits the well-paying sadists in the game, and Scopley should not expect their victims to be able or willing to pay to match their attackers. These bullies will typically target easy prey rather than other high-spending players. It remains to be seen how much damage will occur before they realize the need to implement countermeasures or significantly restrict the feature.

[sacred garden]

I’ve been playing since game launch , for a game that is supposed to be fun entertainment it has become more and more a pay to win game sucking the very fun and entertainment out of the game with almost everything designed around paying for it. As a player who has shelled out some money on this game I have to say scopley should be ashamed of themselves for this blunt strong arm tactics. As a player fed up with outrages prices and the fact that most the prime nodes and events are pay to win they are things I realized I’ll never achieve for I rules to pay outrageous prices for game content that should be earned and purchasable by ingame currencies and not just cash money. If I want to waist money that’s my choice I refuse to be strong armed into doing so. For your outrageous prices I can buy several ps5 / Xbox/Nintendo and pc games even the $100 collectors items were I get far more for my buck then what y’all offer with resell ability something y’all can never achieve with digital. Physical copies are always better with more value since they can be sold and traded something digital will never ever have.

[frigid perch]

Thanks, that's good to know. T1 capacity is an expletive. Also there's the cargo research... which I have not got to yet.

[pallid jackal]

This game is so so so so bugged right now lol

[tepid bramble]

If this was the ONLY instance like this, I would agree. However this has become the new norm, and I am about done with it. Unlocking the Titan and getting that cold water thrown in my face, after the artifacts cool down bs, and Defiant’s long upgrade cycle (without paying extortion level prices and still not having enough for one tier of the ship). No amount of “looking at the grind loop” is going to change my feelings. I see more WORK. Not fun. Work. And that kinda sucks.

[gleaming nebula]

Well we have on our server 2 who kills miners 24/7 with several accounts for the past 4 years and i like many on our server are happy with the new future of the voyager. Saves me hours of searching for their bases.

[subtle nacelle]

just unlocked defiant, the upgrade process is extremely painful. 3 days and only enough armour parts for 1 and a bit upgrades?

Expecting everyone to purchase absolutely everything is not going to happen. Purchases battlepasses is ok if they have enough value, expecting everyone to either wait 6 years or else, buy the ship, buy packs to upgrade it, buy officers to sit inside it, buy resources to use it ... never going to happen. All it will do is annoy people and force them out. cop on

[cinder citrus]

The voyager loop is waaaay to loooong and I blame the refinery costs

[obtuse totem]

Why have standard capital traders in Kronos stopped spawning.. normally a minimum of 1 in system.
There is only heavy there at the moment

[uncut roost]

Why are the developers making this game so painful to play

[pallid jackal]

yo scopely the refinery bundles for the Voyager chests are an absolute joke - as a level 56 T1 Voyager gives me 3* interceptor/explorer/battleship parts. ARE YOU GUYS KIDDING ME - the ship already costs $ to get and now you're giving us the finger with these chest pulls?

[timber root]

Regarding the Voyager loop, there are not enough anomaly mining nodes, especially considering those systems (FSEP-505, FSEP-3819, FSEP-247) are not visible without a ship in it, which will easily lead to wasting precious tokens. They need to either be accessible without a token or be visible without a ship in it.

As a side note the initial cargo capacity of the Voyager is too low. Yes, I know it scales up pretty quickly and I know there's a research for that too, and I know we can use officers too. Still, I believe it's initial cargo is too low and you should at least be able to gather enough anomaly samples to do one pull of the refinery for each use of a token.

[cinder citrus]

I have to mine with an Antares because of this, and it's terribly slow

[torpid cargo]

The game is not forcing you to do everything. There is so much content in here that it is not reasonable for you to do eveything every day.....well not if you have a real job anyways. Pick your couple of favorite loops and focus on them. Back burner the rest for now.

[vale falcon]

So, I bought voyager. Aside from the complexity of the loop, i'm not happy with the current state of the cargo given the requirements of the loop to do pulls. Can this be reviewed as it's painful trying to use other ships to try and overcome this?

[true zealot]

Voyager has answers in the research. No specialty ship EVER has had 100% options on day 1. It's a long term project, with currently $olutions to make it go faster.

Stella for example was a 2y+ with only currently apex option to speed things along

[void heron]

The iOS game is basically unusable since the latest update. Ships disappearing, changing (!), etc. What’s up, Scopely?

[median vector]

It's not just iOS. I'm sitting here on my Android tablet thinking my station got attacked because one of my ships just randomly showed as damaged and then repaired itself.

Yesterday a miner that was mining suddenly showed it leveled up. It didn't.

[tulip fossil]

same on PC

[cerulean sandal]

The core issue remains unchanged, irrespective of the ability to track these specific players. They exist and will use this same ability to start engaging in harmful actions against others. On certain servers, the problem is exacerbated from the fact that these players have attained dominant positions, and the fact that the Voyager's station feature may potentially motivating more players to adopt similar behaviors. The game should not grant such an unfair advantages to anyone, nor should it place the responsibility of handling this issue on individuals like yourself. Ideally, this problem should not exist at all. If self-policing is considered, it should avoid taking the form of vigilantism, as it would only worsen the existing negative sentiments. The fact that you and many others have described your intentions exposes one side of the coin, but consider how those you intend to confront may wield that power and how it will impact the culture on the involved servers?

[median vector]

Since yesterday, the game is even less stable than before, which is quite a feat. About every 5th action in game causes it to close.

[gleaming nebula]

You really think that everyone is wasting his daily 1500 for searching constantly for someone’s base cord. You need it for the other ability of the voyager

[cerulean sandal]

No, I don't believe everyone would engage in this problematic behavior. It's a small group currently doing it, but I fear more would be tempted given the opportunity provided. I also believe that Scopely would be more than happy to provide a way to pay for more of this limited resource to those willing to pay for it.

[gleaming nebula]

Well bring it on, i make no secret where my base is, didn’t relocated in more then a year except when I’m raiding, not even located in our territory. If it brings some pvp back in the game instead of endless boring farming I’m a very happy person

[cinder citrus]

Since when is Hazari, Razrom? 🤣

[tropic sinew]

So Scopley released crew presets a long time ago, and it was a failure/next to useless because they didn't bother letting us use below deck crews with it. So we complained for months and months, and then all the sudden now in the Voyager tree , one of the available researches, is to allow "below deck officers in presets". It's also an expensive research, as it costs like 5k+ voyager research credits, when all the other research options start at like 90-200 credits. This is extremely hilarious and insulting. Instead of fixing a useless feature, $copley literally had the cohones to fix a broken feature, and make it an expensive research. I can't make this stuff up... 😂

[cinder citrus]

Meanwhile officer presets are practically free

[tropic sinew]

Next up, "anti server lag" packs and research.... LMAO

[muted geyser]

It not clear , if a f2p can finish this, An unknown Quantity

[vale wasp]

They can.

[livid river]

So I might have missed this topic above but is anyone else aggravated about the fact they put in ONE low warp range system in for anomaly mining? At least, if there is another, I can't find it. Then they put rare nodes in so it limits the uncommon nodes.

[glass horizon]

from the voyager token systems, is there screenshots of the hostile loot drop please?

[humble blade]

Fix the scoring for the Borg hostiles for todays story line or give us 9 tokens so some of us can finish the event

[polar basin]

Here is an exciting bug that I just discovered. If you activate +500% ship XP exocomp, you get half as much XP as you otherwise would (tested with Talios/Borg)

[vagrant gyro]

Just seen the store thanks a lot Scopley for awning on £10 per pack, you don't even try now to hide as we are just wallets for you

[polar basin]

I had 10 tokens for today. I project however that with all 10 I wont be able to complete the event

[plush mortar]

Seriously becoming unplayable

[humble blade]

Brokely has screwed the pooch again. What a surprise lol🙈

[potent shard]

Didn't think it was possible but leave to scopely to break the game even more.

[dusk nebula]

If you brought a game that didn't work, you would take it back to the shop. Hence Its F2P for me on this one..

[pallid jackal]

So does the voyagers scan function still not work on miners ?

[brazen anvil]

My Mining ships keep disappearing

[humble blade]

My ships are disappearing while grinding also the ships I have in base keep showing that they are floating somewhere lol

[wise charm]

Game is nearly unplayable now...just sitting idle and game crashes requiring restart. This is on phone and tablet... can't even get it to load on PC. Yes Support, rebooted modem and router.

[livid river]

Yeah. That has been happening since the launch of this arc. Scopely at its finest!

[pallid jackal]

Can devs do something ?! (Let’s see how many people get this reference)

[quiet steppe]

I see the prices have gone up in the store...

Shame the quality of the end product doesn't come anywhere near even a fraction of being worth those ridiculous prices.

Even if a person can easily afford it, they must me crazy to pump money into a substandard game and fuel Scopely's greed.

[solemn bobcat]

Why is the Voyager cargo hold so low? You can't even mine enough for a chest... sending an alternative miner takes 20+ days.... its just stupid and I'm really not happy with the product I've purchased.... who do I see about getting a refund? 😅😂

[blazing basalt]

In determining SLB rankings, in case of a tie, shouldn't the person who reached the number of points earlier be ranked higher than those who got it later? Just my two cents ... 🖖

[vast nest]

So that you buy the research pack to unlock the cargo hold increase research

[solemn bobcat]

Yeah I get that, however I've already spent too much on this game this month 🙃

[blissful delta]

I need a Hugh event or pack please.

[warped hemlock]

I've maxed what's available at lvl 39 plus all other cargo research's in other trees and still only 12k capacity but need 30k for 1 pull common or 100k for 1 pull rare so with the 3 day cooldown for 1 token that's 9 days to get enough for 1 common pull or 27 days for 1 rare pull. That's assuming I mine only one or the other, not both 🙈 Oh, and that's with the cargo bay upgraded on Voyager. Still tier 1 though, still a couple more components to upgrade

[blissful delta]

Grind it F2P.

[pastel path]

Lol sounds like more trouble than it's worth

[empty lodge]

Thanks for the 10 total nodes. All with regular liners on them for the next 10 days. Great planning and foresight. 🫣

[pastel path]

Shoot them off.

[empty lodge]

My server will fall apart and start wars. 😂. The bigs make all the rules to protect themselves.

[pastel path]

Ahh same here lol but that's still what I would do. Wait till midnight when there all asleep clear all ten nodes put all your ships out there lol 🤣

[wind shell]

Yeah, 2 tokens seems a little low. Another option, provide more paths for us to pick up the Di'Var so we can get the refine for the tokens

[midnight pilot]

Why is every ship bad at lvl 1 with no research done, strange isn't it, maybe use Voyager plus ship with big cargo, or maybe you know do the research. Or just don't mine with Voyager and kill stuff

[raw shoal]

Im pretty sure that engineers in ST have same toughts, let put in space our brand new class ship it and make it a garbage at start, commodores always can learn how to upgrade it by itself

[vagrant gyro]

Is this channel even worth it as Scopley and the phantom community leaders have just reinforced their opinion of the player base.

[gleaming thicket]

I’m 30 and I don’t see it, but my field training is bugged from server transfer

[west tendon]

I have a suspicion that a lot of missions disappeared from my list over the past two days.

Check your mission list and file a ticket if you notice something off.

[subtle nacelle]

tiered up mantis, needs ~2m xp to lvl up 1 lvl. Getting ~2k per kill. Needing to kill +10k actian hostiles to lvl up the 5 levels. ridiculous

[grave quest]

@tacit obsidian with all of the support ships, we are getting to the point where we need to be able to have more ships at one time, and / or more ships need to be scrapable…

[ionic void]

Is it me or does Borg event show wrong numbers here? This is on PC, but it showed different ones on mobile.

[grave quest]

welcome to 4 star ships 😂 You can: grind eclipse with mantis for a lot more xp (likely linked to outlaw research), use exocoms, and don’t forget xp grinding officers! maybe also loot officers below deck, but i’m not so sure on that idea.

[merry osprey]

Can Scopely increase the spawn rate of traders in Sol, Kronos & Romulus……Wasting so much time waiting and really detracts from the game play

[willow yoke]

and that's how you know that someone is playing multiple accounts... numbers are different for lower ops 😉

[vale wasp]

The event had lower scoring at reset. It was updated midday. One account probably still has unupdated data, and it should have the cache cleared.

[umbral thistle]

It would be good to have a counter on the two longer events
An Unknown Quantity
Storyline Events

so you can see where you are at vs where you could be at any point so you dont miss anything

[ionic void]

I barely have time for this one account 😂 At any rate, the number here are wrong. On mobile it says 9749250 for 46. Seems to be lacking the last 0 for all numbers here.

[willow yoke]

I just know that I (ops39) get like 3.3k for a level 36... while alliance mate of mine (ops44) said he got about 10k for the same level hostiles.... so not only the required points to complete the event changes with ops... but also the points per hostile killed... which leaves me to wonder why the hell scopely is making it so hard on themselves... why not simply have ONE scoring metric and then set goals for each ops that are realistic based on that one scoring metric ??? why artificially inflate it like that? xD

[crimson surge]

Any plans to add a sensor feature that would display NPC ships of a selected species a different color when entering a system with multiple species flying around?

[round shard]

Hirogen Hunters give very few relics.

So I need to hit the highest level ones which are very strong.

If I hit ignoring the battle triangle my ship goes down too fast.

If I hit with the triangle, I also have to clear Lost ships to spawn more Hunters.

If I hit Lost ships, my cargo fills up with trash I don't want so I need to send two ships; one for clearing and one for Hunters. It's way too much hassle to do that for 50 days until I get Voyager.

[vale wasp]

Have you tried the Hirogen Elites in the area near Attana? They drop a lot of relics, and only that so your cargo isn't polluted.
