[limber mesa]

but with weyoun, freeman and kirk you lose out on freeman's isolytic cascade ability unless you're fighting a morale or awoken augments crew.

[nova sierra]

If they’re also using freeman without any state, but they’re likely using her with HB so she would also activate for you. HB likely to be doing far more iso damage than moral explorer but you compensate with extra shots from Weyoun. You also have the option of using HB (on any ship) and have the battle- triangle on your side.

[limber mesa]

i don't follow...
the status needs to be on your opponent's ship for your freeman's isolytic cascade to trigger.
if your opponent uses hull breach and you use morale their freeman can trigger off their hull breach or your morale, but your freeman has nothing to trigger off so you only get base isolytic damage.

[nova sierra]

You don’t need a state to activate her. She’s is activated by the highlighted states on the “enemy” ship. You can also use Ransom to further boost your cascade I believe (not tested this).

[limber mesa]

and if your opponent uses a hull breach crew and you use a morale crew there will never be a state on the opponent's ship.
both states will apply to your ship, and thus will only activate the opponent's freeman isolytic cascade.

[nova sierra]

If they’re using HB with Freeman they’re in a state that activates your Freeman. If you use Moral with Kirk, their Freeman activates as you’re also in state. Use Weyoun for extra shots or Lorca with Ransom looks best option. You also have battle triangle advantage. More option for explorer imo not at a disadvantage.

[limber mesa]

you don't understand how the mechanic actually works.
i tested this before i posted here.
enterprise with freeman morale crew against defiant with freeman hull breach crew.
defiant had big isolytic damage, enterprise only had base isolytic damage without freeman's cascade.

[nova sierra]

The mechanic is clearly described. I have only unlocked her today and yet to test, but if she’s not activating against enemy with Freeman/HB because you have moral, then it seems either bugged or a research issue.

[limber mesa]

freeman triggers while the enemy ship is under the effect of a state.
that means you inflict hull breach on them, you inflict burn on them, they self-inflict hull breach(pan) or they gain morale.
that's how it works, that's how it's described.
"has any state" is about their ship's state, not their crew's ability to apply a state.

[stark lintel]

Hull breach applies to the enemy ship, meaning they’re applying it to YOUR ship. So in this scenario, your ship would have Hull Breach and Morale, their ship would have none, meaning Freeman doesn’t do anything to them.

[mortal helm]

What part of opponent ship state is not registering with you ? You don't put morale on your opponent. Therefore you cannot activate freemans cascade with morale on your own ship. What your opponent does to you has no bearing on the state affecting their ship.

[nova sierra]

No need to be rude, English isn’t my first. The description in that case is confusing in English. I will run my own tests now I have unlocked her. In case it means the state “you place on opponent” then using HB on their Freeman ship explorer still has the natural advantage through the battle triangle, so why the complaint in first of unfair against interceptors using freeman against them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[mortal helm]

Because isolytic cascade makes the battle triangle irrelevant. If you cannot place "state* on the other ship you cannot trigger isolytic cascade and will lose.

[nova sierra]

I understand it now, thanks! 🙏🏻 The ability is not what state the crew opponent has but what state you inflict on them. For explorers the Enterprise ability is a weakness as really needs moral. 👍🏻

[wise kelp]

Times I’ve used this button: 0
Times this button has got me killed: Too many…too many

[ruby cargo]

It's been suggested by upper management of my alliance that I request a reset of my lost $120 billion in Parasteel and roughly 15 billion in tritium and 2 billion in dilithium because my 4-Hour Shield turned off after 2 hours and it took an hour for me to get a notice that my base was being raided

[vale tinsel]

Just bought the Elite Battle Pass thing. I play on two devices, a PC in the Euro zone and on an iPhone with US pricing. Battlepass on the EUR device through your direct store where Apple does not take their 30% was €22.99. On the US Apple device where Apple takes its 30% it was USD $19.99. Makes no sense for me to use your own store where the price is higher.... just saying.....

[fallen spear]

Well you know how it goes- we as europeans are not allowed to participate for the anniversary's first prize, but on the other hand $copely's got no problem to take more money from us for their 💩 🤷🏼‍♂️

[limber mesa]

US prices often don't include taxes(and there aren't always taxes to pay online)

[lament cloak]

Anyone familiar with what the overlords consider bullying?

[rose tartan]

Most of the time they don't seem to care. Threatening to actually physically harm someone in real life seems to be punished with either a chat mute (but can still play the game) or no consequences at all. Mere bullying probably isn't worth their time. 🤷

[torpid cargo]

Refuse to be bullied. Bam….once again solved more issues then Scopley today.

[burnt viper]

Horrible lag on 74 and it isn't even our update day....

[queen osprey]

Stuff like that happens all the time.

[proven pewter]

Telling people to quit the game is also typically a red line.

[wind vortex]

General feedback hmmm. How about: "Scopely, if you're thinking something is a good idea, don't do it, and instead consider doing the exact opposite."

[nova sierra]

Unless the balancing officers next month are given maxed f2p, there is no balancing pvp. Just a case of waiting another year for the new strike team to eclipse these officers and nullify the $2,100 spent maxing each officer, which will also be sold for the same or more 🤦

[nova sierra]

Now that Scopely has made $$$$$ from selling Freeman & co, are any bug fixes now in the budget?

[regal geyser]

Even better - with unsolved, minumum 3 years old problems, we are now encouraged to participate in the lagfest that is called "territory takeover"! What we get in return you ask? More bugs I guess

[rapid pasture]

I think Star Trek and Barbie could be a thing to coincide, just putting some PR ideas out there!

[nova sierra]

Playing a few other Scopely games, which still push monetisation but are stable, well designed games. STFC seems to have drawn the short straw for game design - can no longer be described as a strategy game, and there is zero appetite to fix the bugs with this game only. I'm not sure why one of the biggest cash cows in Scopely's portfolio gets such little investment.

[zinc swan]

It is a strategy game, but not like rts. The main strategy comes from the timing and how you spend the resources you acquire and which packs to buy with your budget.

I dislike many of their recent monetization schemes (power scaling, complete disregard for balance, more gacha mechanics, forbidden tech, etc) as I think they ultimately are painting themselves in a corner. Most of the mechanics trivialize previous accomplishments, force them to release more "harder" content, and diminish dynamic pvping.

With that said, I don't think a single game comes close to long term goals/planning while still allowing the player to play as much as they want (most games limit how much you can play heavily, while stfc only does this with armadas).

I still think it's a good game, though I wish it were better. Personally, I wish they went the league of legends route more with their monetization where paying does speed things up, but everything other than some cool cosmetics is still available for f2p.

[rapid pasture]

Cool story dude. Needs more pvp.

[limber mesa]

they put a limit on regular pve too.
there's a 2000 hostile kill limit.

[zinc swan]

They do, but that is unlike most games, where it costs resources per attack and the resources take time to regenerate

[solar solar]

And exactly how long have you been working for Scopely?? How many shares do you have??

[zinc swan]

I try to be honest with my opinions, and I certainly don't care enough to pander to the "I hate scopely" bandwagon.

Like most games this one has its flaws and issues, but if it was complete horse crap, then we'd all be playing something else.

I find it more constructive to tell them what aspects I like, what I dislike, and what I am willing to spend on.

[elfin root]

At a time when most players are fed up with the ridiculous time commitment the game demands some genius decided it would be a good idea to reset territory every few months.

[fallen spear]

When refreshing a mine 'Unavailable: Ship X' 🙄

[regal geyser]

yeah, a feature Scopley doesn't want to get rid of, it seems. You could also say, they refuse to fix that bug (like many other...)
For me it helps, when I load another system (fully loaded, ships and all) and then go back to that one - it loads the system and the nodes again and the node is accessible

[abstract ocean]

So, when are Scopely going to admit they completely messed up this milestone?
I've had Voyager since it came out and am still only 10% complete on this (I have finished all the other milestones)
You seriously expect people to take over a year (or two) to complete this???

[solar solar]

It’s “heroic” that’s their normal excuse for ballsing things up

[wispy mesa]

The only incentive to fix bugs is if it impacts sales. In this game it does not as the massive $’s spent would indicate. So why spend their resources on fixing bugs? The coders mandate would be to deliver more $$$ content to appease the whales

[tepid bramble]

They aren’t, because as been stated many times, in this very thread, it is intended. It is a scam designed to get you to use your initial do dads on the research and lose out on the value packs. (They will disappear from your store). They never intended for you get get the full set for free in any timely manner (or at all) because the game will probably fold before the first person completes it.

[devout lintel]

I've had the same thought. However, I think it's intentional to take 1-2 years.

[abstract ocean]

I definitely won't be playing in 2 years time, 2 months is looking doubtful (I'm ops55)

[ancient oak]

Boo! Two G4 epic chests and this is what you get???

[cinder hatch]

Your ships fix themselves? For free?

[still peak]

It would be nice if Scopely could spend some time improving the game's performance and numerous bugs before adding on new things. The territory update is going to be lag-central and the game's performance has noticably declined over the year. Lag is still prominent, where it takes seconds for ships to load in a system (sometimes having to look at a different system then go back), ships get stuck attacking, moving ships show they are standing still, etc. There's also the STFC loading screen between almost every interaction you click on. I play on both a phone and high-end gaming PC so it's not a "me" issue.

It's really become a cumbersome experience with all the different things we need to get done in a day. I'm sure I'm not the only one running out of patience.

[slender fulcrum]

Scopely doesn't have time for it because they count money all the time.

[ripe jetty]

Any clue, why borg buff doesnt get listed in the info bottom left, but only in the manage-menu?

[acoustic cloud]

it's only completable in two years if you don't upgrade past tier 6, after that it becomes entirely impossible to complete

[abstract ocean]

Mine is t8...

[acoustic cloud]

oh, well good luck with that... probably only seven years out, maybe less if you grind the borg tokens
at tier 6, I'm loooking at 5.5 years... and this game has maybe 30 days left before it's abandoned, so....

[leaden iron]

Hey guys

[rich cypress]

With the addition of Freeman, Ransom and Billups Scopely has successfully destroyed my desire to tier up- get a better ship- improve my research. My motivation for improving my game state was to do better in pvp. Maybe win once in a while. These new officers make all that effort null. IT DOES NOT MATTER what you have worked to achieve- only Freeman matters- and whatever Scopely sells next to negate her. Up side is I have no desire to spend or even play. GJ!

[elder pollen]

Regarding territories, it’s “We’re taking away what you have, and you can play and pay to get it back. Isn’t that fun?” 🙄

[tepid bramble]

Anyone else having this issue?

[jade sun]

Every single time the game crashes / shuts down or needs restarting

[still mirage]

Don’t forget that all work on below deck Borg crew is trash. The freeman effect reduces battles to one round, maybe two. BD Borg crew doesn’t even get going before it’s over. Expansion cube armadas - now also a waste of time. The ‘cascade’ effect is impressive…

[edgy harness]

These are the same people who had a chief officer of the company say, on camera, that we could all see, that forbidden tech is a bad design. Since then, complete silence on what they’ll be doing to address it. But hey, they’ll be adding exclusive forbidden techs to the seasonal cash grab 👍🏾

[tepid bramble]

Yeah, as we found out testing last night 😂

[zinc swan]

So far the answer had been "throw bells at them" and "run weekly forbidden tech slbs that give even more bells"

[ripe thicket]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar this is your daily reminder to up the kill count. With the addition of the veen grind and needing 100-400 kills per day with it, we need a higher kill count.

Also, would you please add a kill counter UI so we know when we are about to hit it.

[red holly]

Cargo promised... not delivered. Anyone else having this bug?

[silk charm]

You have probably hit 2,000 hostiles since the limit reset. You won't be able to get loot/xp/rep from hostiles until that limit resets later today at 5am UTC, 1 hour after daily reset.

[red holly]

I did some research and yes I believe I did hit the limit.

[woven sonnet]

Legit question, do you plan on making the hijacked ships scrappable? Because in theory a person could build so many hijacked ships, that they have no space in their hanger to build another ship. preventing them from ever moving forward. I ask, because every thurseday scopley encourages you to build a hijacked ships as part of the apex events.

[regal geyser]

Or remove it totally, like it was before..

[lost spruce]

Every update doesn’t fix anything. Game still crashes all the time

[old seal]

Never build them, absolute waste of RSS

[warm zinc]

When is 184 getting the back end maintenance the games as buggy as hell at the moment and the lag is getting bad again

[rose tartan]

By all reports the backend maintenance is just making things worse.

[robust bramble]

@tacit obsidian think after 5 years an in game translator might come out?

[nova sierra]

Universal translator would be great, I understand they won't release one in case of translation errors. I'd have it with a suggested translation, but with an option to see the original message in source language, so we can re-translate if necessary?

[plush ginkgo]

@tacit obsidian

[gentle shale]

It's hard to believe that I've been for almost 5 years (I started in December of launch year). The only real proof is the vast amount of useless tokens and what not from events and Battle Passes that have accumulated (eg, Mirror Sigil, Hungry Tribble, Holiday Token, etc.) and now clutter my ability to see what Other Items I have in stock that I actually need to find/see quantity.

It would be awesome to see something implemented that allows players to turn in these old, now useless items for something useful - even if a simple 1:1 trade for parsteel. For example, trading 30 Federation Easter Tokens for 30 parsteel.

Simply put, there should be a way to get rid of any excess tokens that will never be used in a special event again.

TBH, at this point I'd just be happy to select specific items & nuke them altogether.

[ripe jetty]

deleting the game should also tidy up your inventory to the amount which is necessary

[old seal]

It makes the middle aisles in Lidl or Aldi look awesome by comparison. Nothing shouts organised like seeing toilet plungers and chainsaws on top of the frozen chips section 🤣

[woven sonnet]

can we get hostile limit raised? I hit cap in 120 minutes of reputation grinding

[tranquil dew]

Not gotta happen, bots are a problem already

[echo mirage]

So you send me an invite to a survey

[lost forge]

Few mid fifty spenders in my alliance talking about the game. As a low spender I could not agree more.

[edgy harness]

They don’t currrrr. People will still spend, and when one spender quits another person sees an opportunity to spend and take their place. Same reason why whenever anyone says they’re not spending on a dumb event cycle, it means nothing because others go “ hey, they aren’t spending, now’s my chances to squeak ahead”

[weak panther]

How long till we see Romulan and Klingon Fleet Commanders?

[zinc swan]

Armada suggestion; when an armada queue is full and completely starred, that armada leg is marked ready. When all relavent armada legs are marked ready, the armada timer decreases to 10s and launches.

[clever schooner]

The amount of currency you charge for packs and then have the nerve to release updates that aren't properly tested 😂 jokely.

[analog bolt]

They are just now coming to that realization? LOL. Ever since Scopely sold themselves to this middle-eastern gaming concern they’ve turn on the spending spigot. It’s really quite amazing thing to see.

[woven token]

i'm starting to hear whispers from PMs in my team that, this game has become too big of a daily grind, and I'm kinda in agreement, its become a full time endeavour, a few are talking of leaving, and i've said, if they do, i'll go too, scopely need to change there format fast, less gring, or easier grind, for exp. ive got a vidar and talios at level 37, so my talios is not great for probe grinding, i can get a full cargo in 31 lvl with the vidar, 552k, twice a day, whats that? 150 ships? x 2? then mantis, then bajor, then armadas, a bit of amalagan, then dailies, swarms. I've always said "things you own, end up owning you" , thats TVs, phones, games everything, but i broke my rule with this game, i'm getting owned.

[marsh oracle]

@vale wasp @surreal condor @north perch @twilit mango @tacit obsidian

After 3.5 years playing STFC. Putting up with the bugs and broken upgrades. I have had enough. I will not spend another penny on this game. And will be leaving permanently within the next few days. Giving my alliance members time to drain my base.

Scopely doesn't care about anything other than the almighty $$$$.

[buoyant hound]

[surreal condor]

Lol. Sorry, I'm actually off this month so that's my out of office

[surreal condor]

Sorry to see you go but I understand the frustration.

[woven token]

its a shame, but understandable, keep your account, just in case scopely do get there act together, but i'm not sure how much i can take myself, i can see this becoming a real threat to the entire game, you won't be the last, and i might join you soon

[lone musk]

So, question for the devs and anyone who can pass the message on.

Why do I STILL get notifications when people in my alliance are doing Solo Armadas, but its being displayed as a standard Armada notification outside of the game? Bit annoying when I get a notification saying "Your Alliance has formed and Armada" only to open the game, and boom. No Armada.

[compact terrace]

and better yet, why does chat seemingly break for hours at a time and then magically come back without rhyme or reason... i wouldnt mind except that REAL armada notifications are actually kind of important to the gameplay. 😦

P.S. if chat did come back with a rhyme... I'd be okay with that... except if the rhyme was about "a girl from nantucket" 🙂

[cerulean sandal]

The use of "pay to play" primes, to fix the economy on ship parts and such at higher levels, has led to many Free-to-Play (F2P) players leaving the game in droves. Any sense of advancement essentially stops around level 44. Who do they expect the big spenders to play with? Many of them thoroughly enjoy the unfairness. The glaring imbalance and large population of these types of players are a key feature of the game to them. Even those spenders who take on a more altruistic role are losing their followers because F2P and low-spending players simply can't grow anymore. The irony is that the most important players in the game may very well be the ones that pay the least. Lose them and you lose the appeal

[edgy harness]

Considering it’s become a pay to play part of the game, I hope never.

Until there is meaningful sourcing for locutus, 7, and janeway I sincerely hope they don’t add any more commanders.

[midnight pilot]

I know I am probably @tacit obsidian others in this section,
I don't understand the model of wring players for all we can then when they leave np just get new.

This is a niche market not a general market.
There's only so many.
And yet other niche fames try to retain players, how do they do this, quite simply having an ability to play the game without it crashing every 15mins, bugs fixed permanently, not next update same bufs back.

You always talk about players updating their game to latest patch.

Maybe if you know design and engineering updated to latest patch.. Maybe some of their decision making and features might work.

But basing a development cycle of 6 months on a 6nonth old version is just stupid. Abd why we have bugs fixed 5 months ago coming back.

In last 4 months alone, every month the same bugs were patched after feature updates. Yes granted within hours in months 2, to 4 but month 1 was a complete surprise. Took a week.

Why make more work, are engineers payed by the hour so they cause problems so they can then fix them?

[olive kelp]

I am on Upto 500mbps I sit within 3 metres of virgin media's latest hub on WiFi and when on either pc or android phone the game is slow in changing screens lots of multiple clicks to get things done. The game is going drastically down hill with bugs. How about a controlled downtime of the whole shebang and get the game properly fixed? Instead of thinking about profit think about player satisfaction. I done the survey yesterday and no mention on satisfaction of game play but very much on players buying stuff. So Scopay are concentrated on the wrong thing. Eu162

[limber steeple]

I can't see them creating a currency exchange, at any rate. And trading in my 16 Christmas Tokens would be blasphemy. I agree though, there's plenty of room for improving the inventory "management" section. Sort and Filter come to mind (officers too!) but a simple, new 'retired currency' tab would be a an insanely welcome QOL improvement.

[grave hawk]

That's not a bad idea! It would Armada crushing during wars a lot more difficult. Once you get your ships in, you're pretty much good to go if this were the rule.

1. fix lag
2. some way to get rid of all the trash we've accumulated over the years. At this point I don't care if we exchange it, if it's not going to be used, can we just get rid of it?
3. a way to collect everything in one fell swoop when you start your gameplay. I get up early and do dailies and I like to collect all my stuff in one shot. It would be great if I could just click a button to collect all. Currently takes anywhere from 12 to 20 minutes depending on restarts to collect everything I need to collect.

[upbeat storm]

WoW, Just got caught up on all the crap. I am very disappointed. I knew the game was a pay to win game and now it is a pay to play game. Can't get much farther without the almighty dollar. 😢 The new TD junk and the new crews that are just for spenders. It's too much. After lots of little buys here and there plus time, it is clear that my time is running out on the game. Way to go Scopely. At what point will the whales have no one to kill and leave as well.

[cosmic drift]

@rigid vapor. When I wanted to write to my Alliance chat earlier that I want to join an Armada, your crappy and untested game crashed, as it is doing more and more often with each patch on iPhone. After the game restart, it was too late to join that Armada as it went full meanwhile. If I open a ticket, your support “experts” will say to play on PC, most probably, or that is my fault for no reason. Thank you Scopely!

[karmic meadow]

What is with the lag lately on us servers? Normal thought prcocess is all these hotfixes would fix the game not make it worse

[elder pollen]

I don’t feel adding tenant evictions is a positive step. It certainly does not add to any positive excitement. I mean you can add excitement to territories by:

• making holding tc more valuable such as with better services and adding more mining nodes;
• adding incentives for taking tc rather than holding what you have;
• adding more territories — especially in other parts of the galaxy! Imagine how that would shake things up!

Operation Landlord just feels bad with more chores and more paywalls at the spending low end.

[wise kelp]

Can y’all make an officer filter in the main tab for which hostiles an officer works against? I don’t think I’ve ever used the mining officer filter, but having one for Q hostiles, Yellow hostiles, armadas, any new categories, would be great. Yellow hostiles have been out FOREVER and we still get questions about them in discord. And when we have new officers we’ll get to see what works because descriptions on the officer card can be ambiguous, wrong, incomplete, and it’s just good for us to make sure we know expected behavior. You ain’t gotta change descriptions in the officer card no more, though that would work too. You can make a filter, and it’s just basic flags, no need for words and 20 different ways to describe mitigation

[marsh oracle]

**I would tell Scopely if I was in charge! All developers' need to test code themselves to make sure all current parts of the game are not affected by any change that is made! This must be done before they send it to the to a quality and assurance department for final testing. If that breaks anything the broken area is noted and send back to Information Technology for updating.

When I was a programmer this was how "EVERY Company" I worked for functioned. Scoleply should take a hint! **

[marsh oracle]

Thank goodness I'm retired and old and** I just have to use JUNK! for a few more days before I quit the game**

[soft pebble]

@tacit obsidian Commander Ransom with a full strike team Weyoun and Pon isn’t working. I’m using Weyoun as cap along with ransom and Pon on the bridge and ransom isn’t working at all even though my Weyoun generates 100% morale

[nova sierra]

Oh, Weyoun will be working. For the other team.

[edgy harness]

Read the officers more closely

[soft pebble]

I have and it doesn’t make sense similarly a t1 Carol with Lorca and hg worf beats an interceptor strike team with Dukat t3, Garak t3 and billups t1, a 40m pillum beating a 48m pillum with superior research and officers doesn’t make sense even though you are using the new isolitic damage officers on the bridge

[crude sandal]

Define "not working"? Your iso isn't increased at all or youre not single-rounding the opponent?

[soft pebble]

When I use Carol Ransom Kirk on an explorer my iso doesn’t increase at all😐 Additionally what’s the point of adding ransom to strike team when using him with full synergy doesn’t affect the out come? I used to kill a 35m pillum with my 40m valdore without breaking a sweat the same pillum kills my valdore with strike team and ransom by just using Carol worf lorca so basically the explorer strike team has been rendered obsolete including the new officer ransom

[haughty sail]

Explorer strike team gives itself morale, a state if you will. Carol needs that to trigger so you're basically guaranteeing the other player to always have iso dmg too. And carol gives more iso dmg than the other 2 at the same tiers.
plus she adds 100% shots so double the damage to begin with. That's why it's so broken and why explorer yet again gets the short end of the stick.

[fast timber]

Carol requires the enemy to have morale/hull breach/burning/assimilate, not your own ship needing said condition

[crisp wren]

You’re forgetting the officer that provides isolytic defence below decks for explorers has yet to be released …. Further keeping explorers at a disadvantage

[gaunt raptor]

Using a 17.6m Valdore with Freeman (Captain), Lorca, and HGW vs an 18m Valdore with Weyun crew. Freeman's captain ability is 100% shots, Weyun's was only 76%, yet I was only getting in 3 shots to his 8. Is Freeman's ability not working?

[silk charm]

at base, the valdore's phaser turrets fire two shots each every round, and the disruptor array fires 3 every other round.
Additionally, weyoun stacks, and after round 1 will be giving more shots than freeman (who doesn't) - and that's assuming he's T1; at T4 he'll match freeman's shots even at round 1.

Which weapons were you looking at & in what round?

[gaunt raptor]

1st round. His Weyun is T1

[crude sandal]

Are you up for some science? I don't have ransom so can't check it myself 😢
Have you got (or can you get) battle logs of a combat without ransom and with ransom?
Ship screen + the first shots after morale has triggered?

[dreamy river]

Ships in battle for 10min scopely not good enough

[rich pendant]

considering valdore at the very minimum shoots 4 shots in a round, most likely explanation is you miscounted lol
As for him getting 8 shots that's normal. The game rounds the numbers so the 2 shots per weapon become 3.52 shots which rounds to 4. Freeman will be the same. So yeah for these there's no difference between 76% and 100%

[cyan portal]

Carol works if the other ship has a state not yours i believe so she wouldn't trigger

[gaunt raptor]

double checked, only gave me 3 shots, and the other ship had both morale and a hull breech

[kind minnow]

explorer strike team lacks crit (as does bs strike team) to take advantage of iso damage .. only carol HGworff and hullbreach gives that dps that is required in the new meta.. since there is no crew combination that will let u outlive long enough ..

[crisp wren]

EST Pon denies the crits of your opponent so he’s super important now … fights come down to who has more artifacts, below decks defensive officers and primes.

[kind minnow]

dont think pon would have been much use here ;p

[crisp wren]

Lol yeah, isolytic dmg out paces pre-meta ST dmg x10

[kind minnow]

it gets kinda worse when big ships get involved and t2 carol i think . ;p

[crisp wren]

Would be interesting to see a max Weyoun ST with Ransom vs a max Freeman/Lorca/HGW fight since Weyoun shots stack … Freeman’s team would have Hull Breach and more crits and Weyoun would have more shots

[crystal swallow]

Could you please announce well in advance when the next maintenance will be?

Reactivating our 3star perk will be pointless the weekend before and we wouldn't want to burn unnecessary resources

[kind minnow]

think we need the explorer below deck officer that mitigates iso dmg first : 0 but it prob being a moral req below it cannot be used with carol as capt leaving explorer st team behind again in terms of dps.

[west thunder]

Finally got around to doing the stupid missions. Who wrote "Moonlight"? Whoever it was needs to watch, oh, I dunno, ONE freakin episode of ANY StarTrek series? We start out with a Starfleet officer hacking a Romulan shuttle for giggles, starting a battle that kills their OWN PEOPLE. Then we steal a Starfleet ship, fire on ANOTHER Starfleet ship, and ... have to go mine 2* crystal??? To give a Pakled. Well, the only Pakleds that matter in this mess are the one who wrote the mission and the higher-ups at Scopely who either never looked at it, or didn't care. 🤢 😡

[sharp ocean]

I can’t believe you read the text, I assumed nobody did, I couldn’t tell you a single mission story 🤣

[safe mango]

#Scopely
I have just tier up my talios, and the amount of currency needed for one pull is the double of the previous tier, but the amount of rewards remain the same. In that case I will need at least 2 months to get one pull...

[rich cypress]

IMO - the best DS9 episode

[kind minnow]

run bigger expansion cubes

[safe mango]

Not sure if there is anything bigger than 51, and if there is, I can't reach or kill it. I have contacted stfc support, if you are one of them, you are doing a really poor job, and if you're not, your opinion was noted and sent to the trash! Don't have time, or patience, to deal with this kind of attitude.

[ripe thicket]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar this is your daily reminder that the kill cap desperately needs to be raised with the addition of the Monaveen. That alone adds 100-400 daily kills to the grinds we already do. I have hit the kill cap almost every singe day this month. It is unacceptable. It makes it IMPOSSIBLE to complete everything.

[edgy harness]

They go up to 60

[safe mango]

That is not the problem, the problem is that they are not doing anything to help the player's, and that's why we have soo many people giving up on the game.

[edgy harness]

In this case, the answer is literally hit larger armadas, and start them yourself whenever possible.

The real problem is when players come here to turn every single little petty issue into a game ending problem, then the actual problems get ignored because the player base itself gets ignored as just wanting to vent.

Be angry about the monaveen, be angry about them “adjusting” pvp, be angry about territories and a new unwanted pay cycle for content.
Don’t be angry because you tiered a ship and chest costs went up, anyone paying attention knows that happens on any loop.

[safe mango]

Then, your solution, is:
Be angry about the "pay to play" problems...
Sorry my friend, I will complain or be critical, about situations that affect my game. I'm a level 49 player, my stronger ship is a tier 7 kelvin, I used to buy new ships at launch, that wasn't a problem, but when some players start to spend "a house" on this game, scopely started to believe that everyone would spent the same! Then, the problem are those players that "inflated" the game, leading to scopely to make it only about profit! You complaining about limited number of kill's per day, is not different from me complaining about the exorbitant costs of in game currency.

[nova sierra]

You are OPS 49 and your strongest ship is a Kelvin T7? 😳 The game is a long-distance run and not a sprint. You can only sprint if you are willing to spend a lot of money. Go kill red triangles, there are parts for the 46 ships. Use the Borg refinery to earn credits and buy parts for ships. Do external team tasks and exchange it into parts for ships. There are many possibilities... even without money. It just takes a while.

[little latch]

It’s a faaaaake.

[native adder]

Server 135 is still up… What happened to maintenance?

[short iron]

they where slow like always

[native adder]

It was 6 minutes late but it happened eventually

[short iron]

guess they are not being used to be clocked... they can clock us...

[bitter flicker]

Has scopley thought about fixing the load screen freezing instead of only caring about how to get money from rich ppl

[short iron]

😂 there are no improvements only more things to be annoyed with

[west thunder]

Android lag has been horrible for last 12 hours. I'd say that I hope this maintenance fixes that, but... it's Scopely. The maintenance is probably to correct the spelling of something in a mission nobody cares about.

[cinder citrus]

I want better control over which ships the fortication happens to with the Titan-A, I just fortified 2 ships in the system of my alliance that are idle and doing nothing whilst doing an armada and wanting to fortify the ships in the armada

[primal niche]

is it still up?

[flat wyvern]

why even go with morale for activate officer abilities for Carol

[strong jackal]

Hey @dev team: the newest iphone (15) has got a game problem, the display is endless but ingame the front camera/sensor section is blocking ingame view🤣 maybe you can look for a solution as soon as possible 🖖

[nova sierra]

PvP is now broken beyond repair courtesy of the latest officers, although the main escallating factor being the ability to punch down 21 levels (60 can hit 39). Think there's more money to be made by encouraging PvP within a +/- 5 level window.

[kind minnow]

pvp has never been working correctly. its a pay to win game with ppl paying for a win not a fair fight ;0

[nova sierra]

If you're forced to pvp with players of a similar level, players will pay more to be able to win in their bracket. No need for the extra wide bands they currently have

[safe mango]

Another day, another bug...
I can't cancel warp, even when I already have rebooted the game...

[safe mango]

Do you believe I don't do it? I do, but I stopped caring about numbers, I play this game for fun, not to have more problems than I already have in my real life!

[fallow pendant]

Try reading your messages first Scopely 🤦‍♀️

[rose tartan]

That goes out after every response I get from them, except for when they immediately close one without giving me a chance to respond.

[fallow pendant]

Had that happen on several occasions, never known a customer support this bad

[rustic flume]

When is Scoply going to step in and tell these "Admirals " to stop making up rules?

[tropic sinew]

Please update the ACC packs to not suck so much, and maybe more people would actually buy them. They are still the same pack as they were like 3 years ago...

[rose tartan]

Because Scopely doesn't give a fig about servers creating their own ROE. There's nothing wrong with it.

[willow hull]

I would like to say how refreshing it is to know that absolutely nothing has changed. Backend maintenance across most servers, and same problems. Game constantly quitting on iPhone, slow when scrolling through different screens, and even something new! If you are zoomed all the way out to see a whole system, but you open the events menu, then go back, the game zooms you aaaaaall the way back in! Very cool

[rose tartan]

That zoom bug has been around forever. If you're just encountering it you have been very lucky.

[mint oak]

iPhone 15 pro max: display update needed to adjust for dynamic island and the home slider. Both cover critical spots on UI. Cannot see ship health due to slider is the worst as it cannot be fixed by flipping my device.

[rough belfry]

Why introduce new combat ships but not update CoW include said ship? I hope this doesn't turn into another 2 year battle to get CoW updated again...

[heavy marten]

Can we please get an update on territory changes next arc? When will the territores reset?

[surreal mica]

Yet another day of asking @tacit obsidian to reply to my DM that I was directed to send by a mod and by @royal solar... le sigh

[glass ether]

Game is lagging and random crashes

[lilac garden]

i'm aware that i can't get them as a strictly free2play player.

matter of fact, very little of the special currencies used for components in prime research can be acquired as a strictly free2play player, unfortunately.

from which pack(s) in the store can i, at least, get like 2000 or so Prime Particles? 🤔

clicking on the relevant research nodes directs me to the store, and they're not there.

correction: not as a strictly free2play player under Ops40 {i'm Ops26, forced free2play [because of below poverty level income] and i need it for help against "kill on sight" players 😅.}, the Prime Particles.

[vale wasp]

Prime particles are available f2p from the daily treasury claim. You'll need a building level 40 to get them.

#💬-general-feedback message

Why did Scopely move away from this model of tokens? You could have simply rotated between 3 different tokens (UC, Rare, Epic) or even 4 (UC, Rare, Epic, Legendary) instead of creating all new currencies every time and creating bloat in the game with un-used tokens just sitting in hundreds of inventories forever.

[lilac garden]

gee ☺️ thanks.

[next haven]

This falls on deaf ears unfortunately. People quit the game bacause of this. There have been enough complaints Scopely owes an actual response but if you tag people they ignore it.

[lilac garden]

would be cool if, for my 40th birthday [November 21, 2023], they'll give me a full unlock of at least one officer that i'd like [or enough officer intelligence (aka officer "shards", right?) to promote Decius all the way from Ensign to Commander].

the officers that i'd like a full unlock of [officers who i don't already have and who, likely, will take me longer than a couple of months to get even Ensign on] are Reginald Barclay, Jaylah, D'Vana Tendi, both La'ans, and "Kirk".

'course, if they do it for me, they'd have to do it for everyone and that's SO many birthdays 😅, so this is just wishful thinking ☺️.

[junior ridge]

When you going to fix this “stuck in combat” that ships keep having ?

[magic fractal]

[sacred stream]

Yes please

[shy bluff]

Hello. Why does the Pc version of the game not load into the game for me?

[limber mesa]

usually there are 2 more chapters to an arc.

[magic fractal]

Well they’ve already beat the dead horse on this kindergarten show so realistically not anymore to do with it. I mean they are already making ships up to try to make it work so…….

[native adder]

Sorry to break it to you but that was Lower Decks Arc II Part 1

[potent shard]

Yeah you do know there are like 3 maybe 4 parts to an arc right?

I asked someone to join the game and to use the novice transfer token to join server 183. They are on server 178. They used the token but it did not transfer them and the token is now gone. Does anyone know why that would happen? Can it be fixed? Is server 183 at capacity? Can anyone help? They are using IOS-iPad, I'm on Android. Thanks.

[delicate wind]

Get them to message the game developers via the help option in game. They need to be ops 12 and below to do server transfer

[shy radish]

👍 will do. Thank you.

Chances are they use token and chose 178 instead of one they wanted

[shy radish]

Thanks, I'll double check that 👍

How do you contact support from the developers? The only thing I can find on the site is a page that shows various articles but no form to submit a ticket or email address.

Only just got myself today after our server also had downtime and I can’t login at all on iOS

[hidden night]

Yeah its been an issue since the first round of back end maintenance a week or so ago, battle logs for hostiles and players stil show up just fine but station logs disappeared. Its a known issue apparently but they decided to just keep moving forward with the maintenance and cause the issue for everyone rather than fix it first.

[merry tiger]

Since our merger, 175 to 164 the alliance power rankings seem to be incorrect???

At this point I’m convinced Scopes want us all with zero epic/rare directives for whatever is coming down the pipeline 😂

[rare coral]

Oh you can definitely count on that! 100% there's an armada month coming...

[willow delta]

Not another armada month 🙈
Too many armadas already.

[slim wagon]

@tacit obsidian now you don’t see anything in battle log when people attack your base…

[rapid sonnet]

I came here just to ask about this hahahaha

[slim wagon]

Every time they fix one thing they break 10 others

[woven atlas]

Ok, Can someone tell me why I can't refine Rare 4* mats at level 40, but my upgrades from 39-40 require Rare 4* Ore? And Why the Refinery doesn't make Rare until 43? What idiot had this great idea?

[ocean tree]

any chance of a comp chest giving us the minimum amount of incursion event store credits and access to the incursion store, ive been trying to get my last shard for an officer since last incursion loss, was hoping to have the officer unlocked before the next incursion loss

[urban verge]

Anyone else watching there server slowly die from the last month and a half of horrible events from scopely? Feels like no end in site especially with this territory change coming making the game take up even more time to play.

[pale garnet]

whats the points and sense in having a maximum kill rate in a game that relies on killing hostiles, 2k is just not enough

[nova sierra]

2nd day in a row of maintenance, yay 🎉

[silver bramble]

Maybe it's a sense of humor. 🤸

[frail goblet]

W.t.f is this ninja maintenance on 133? We already had one additional this month.

[silver bramble]

It improves the bugs. 🤪

[nova sierra]

Maintenance to fix the previous maintenance which gave battlelog / raiding bugs

[ripe jetty]

I assume a direct link into the mantis refinery would reduce the screentime and the chance of 0.001%, that someone clicks on one of the 1k buy-buttons in the store, when clicking this link, is too much, right?

[nova sierra]

Anyone else having problems with not getting loot from summoned species ships? Eu 155

[edgy harness]

It’s a thing that dates back to when Scopely would run a lot of hostile kill/damage slb events for high end rewards, and people would use bluestacks and some assistance to play for them.

Also, 2k kills a day is still extremely grindy, even at peak efficiency you are talking 4-6 hours depending on the number of ships doing nothing but clicking attack every 10 seconds. That’s too much time in this game for a whole day, let alone one activity.

[nova sierra]

Missing a daily September pack I purchased and now waiting a week with no resolution by support just canned messages about delays in customer service response.

[edgy fulcrum]

I hope stfc can turn itself around. I finally got fed up with the way the games been going and after 6+ years took a month off. we will see if this next months change. but I highly doubt it and sad seeing a game that I enjoyed go down hill for so many years. but after a while you have to ask yourself what's the point of playing anymore. coming from a 50+ player. again I hope scopely starts focusing of it's users and fixing things before they force all their dedicated players away.

[vagrant radish]

Bonjour Leghostdu, je parle un peu de Français. Je ne le parle pa's couramment, mais je peu essayer vous aider du mieux que je peu.

[rich shuttle]

C’est super gentil merci . J’aimerais trouver des joueurs fr . Je sais pas si y’en a ici d’où ma question . 😁

[vagrant radish]

Merci beaucoup! Je comprends. J’aimerais aussi le découvrir car ce sera un excellent moyen pour moi de rencontrer de nouveaux STFC camarades joueurs et de pratiquer mon français. Moi aussi, au début, je cherchais d'autres joueurs espagnols, puisque je suis dominicain, mais je n'ai jamais vraiment reçu de réponse. J'espère vraiment que les gens répondront à votre question très bientôt.

[ripe thicket]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar daily reminder we need an increase in kill count, especially for 50+ players.

[ripe thicket]

I have suggested they add a little check box on all the collectibles. Let us click it and then have a collect all button that would do all of them when clicked. Soooo, if you want 2 batch refineries, selected the 2 batch...etc. would save us all a lot of time in game.

[nova sierra]

Big spenders are quitting this game on my server we have three people who have spent thousands who are giving up due to bugs and Scopely not fixing things

[wise kelp]

Well that sucked. Had a ship in token I accidentally hit recall on. Normally you can cancel the action, but Scopley broke things so sometimes ships “can’t locate” until they’re in base. Kinda like a stuck ship in warp. I got a whopping 400k instead of 8.9M that my cargo could fit. Scopley, fix things. Everything is broken, and you make it a daily chore to compete against your bugs

[ripe thicket]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar your customer representatives need training.

[nova sierra]

2000 kills per day are enough. Those who kill more usually use a bot program. 🫣 Don't hit... it's just my personal observations when people are in the first places in kill events, but are not online. 👀

[crude sandal]

a lot of the time it's just leaving 2-3 ships out in augment will do the trick, if your night time doesn't tie in nicely with the hostile cap reset it can play havoc with the gameplay 🙂

[nova sierra]

Then Scoply should simply remove the loot in the argument space. That's junk anyway. Problem solved...

[silver bramble]

Scopely doesn't count the loot. They count the kills of each red hostile - maybe also the armadas included. So it's totaly useless to remove the loot from augment space. It's useful to remove the kill-counter from these area. By the way - if a player have more then one ship in Augment and have more than 2000 kills in sum - it's not a BOT. That's what Scopely gave to the gamers in their own game. And that's the stupidity of Scopely who are some player talking about.

[nova sierra]

Then simply remove arguments space from the count. 🤷🏼‍♂️. I see so much in normal space that very unusual manoeuvres fly. You raid a station and cargo ships diligently fly in and out to mining. There must be a kill limit somewhere. Why should the bot users be rewarded

[lusty arch]

[kind minnow]

waiting for the master of communication @tacit obsidian on that front

[cosmic dawn]

@tacit obsidian Why there is no option to buy this? I do not have any option for it after store restructure

[gleaming grove]

Freeman's officer skill is detrimental to explorers which benefit from morale. The other two types mechanic of inflicting a state on the enemy are consistent and allow using bran or Phillip + hull breach or burning office, but an explorer would need to use one officer to provide morale (which is not applied to the enemy) then the other officer slot for hull breach or burning (which isn't typical for explorers) leaving no room for a bridge buddy. Similarly, the explorer using morale HELPS the enemy as it activates the opposing Freeman's ability which seems further backwards. Recommend Freeman activate when opponent has hull breach/ burning or her own ship has morale

[tepid bramble]

Xlb with no incursion? Yeah no. You can shove that RIGHT UP your 4th point of contact you greedy miserly gits.

[crystal swallow]

You guys keep putting out armada events but there are never any epic 51s around. I'm not wasting my epic directives on cheap cardassian armadas.

[torpid kelp]

´´Also, with the revamp of Territory Control coming next month, we will not be running Infinite Incursions this month.´´I don't know whether you should be congratulated on this brilliant achievement or not? There is no incursion this month, but the other server is still represented in the event. Honestly, you are just as incompetent as our government

[gusty fractal]

@torpid kelp STFC is a F2P game so how could a F2P player play without a way to encourage someone to spend money? Do you not want to play this event like me? Skip it

[tepid bramble]

Yeah, without even a heroic sms, there is absolutely NO reason to even try.

[mortal helm]

Spending will probably be a bit low on your crappy xslb. We all know more expensive heroic sms are coming and are better off saving for those.

[floral talon]

If you can’t open a ticket in game, send them an email with as much info as possible. (which ship is stuck, who is on the bridge, etc…)

[e-mail]

If you can include your Scope Player ID do that as well.

Good luck!!!

[silver bramble]

I understand your opinion - but the best way to protect a station from raiding is a peace shield. There are a lot of players they don't care about shield management. So it's their own mistake. In stfc, someone can easily protect the base for 24 hours. The token are part of the daily chest and it's possible to get some for alliance credits also. In my opinion it's not necessary to have a 2000 kill counter because of base/station raiding, but anyway.

[wise maple]

Just when you think scopley couldn’t break the game even worse, they come out with officers that cant be beat, even if you have the same officers and a bigger ship. So long as the other player attacks first, have zero chance of even scratching, let alone defeating their smaller ship. What a joke.

[mortal helm]

How can that break the game when there is absolutely nothing you get or need from attacking other players that you need to progress your game? Pvp doesn't get you, credits, rep, officers, refined materials, armada directives, forbidden tech, artifacts, skins, projectiles.... once you accept pvp is a side game of no consequence you can chill out a ignore the deliberate imbalance scopely creates to get people riled up enough to spend money for the sake of pvp that gets them nothing.

[regal geyser]

Ever thought off that some people might like PVP? That they probably don't like to mine and grind all day and like to actually compete against each other? That they level up to do so? That that is their drive to play?

And apart from that - How do you plan to get the territories next month? Little hint - not by mining 😉 (also Scopley might prove me wrong on that one 😅)

[wise maple]

Well when your server is at constant war, then yes it does matter. We have alliances full of ops 60’s that bully everyone else and scopely only gives them ways to make it even easier to stop us from playing. Not much fun when you can’t mine, do armadas, grind hostiles, hold a territory, etc. Would be nice to be able to actually have a fighting chance against these types of player’s. Now there is zero chance with the new officers. Spamming the attack button so that they hit first and kill you in 1 round is just stupid.

[jovial edge]

Fix voyager space node spawning.

[graceful jacinth]

I thought players from 170 and 158 were supposed to be getting daily "gifts" after the merge on Tuesday?

[woeful oasis]

[fallen spear]

It's annoying like hell that the chat-window up on the screen always switches by itself from selected alliance chat back to galaxy chat 🙄

[haughty tendon]

just wondering how scopley are going to work new armada's into next month's tc update the new officers to buy will be a given for sure

[nova sierra]

Somehow you misunderstood something. I just meant I see people with bot programs. While their station is being attacked... and they are not online, cargo ships are still sent out for mining. It's not about Raiden... that's part of the game and also good as it is. Everyone can protect themselves. There must still be a kill limit. Bot users otherwise have too many advantages when grinding. I don't care if that's 2000 or 3000 kills.

[mortal helm]

If your server is full of 60s at constant war, then if you are not one of them it doesn't matter what scopely releases. You do know that pvp was and still is totally ridiculously imbalanced and that if you were even in the low 50s you were going to lose to whales at 60 right? So what exactly has changed? Pvp isn't power matched and lower ops and low spending players lose. Nothing about these new officers alters that reality.

[surreal mica]

Yet another day of asking @tacit obsidian to reply to my DM that I was directed to send by a mod and by @royal solar... le sigh

[split ferry]

So I'm not entirely 100% sure what happened, but as I was trying to load into an armada the game crashed. Now I'm getting login errors, and after repairing the game a few times I seem to be at a 76% downloading game state & am not progressing beyond that.

Edit: 8 repair attempts & failed login errors later, I'm back in.

[mortal helm]

If you like pvp that is all well and good but it wasn't balanced before and isn't balanced now. Yes congratulations you found the one fragment of the game that pvp plays a role in progression but not having or playing the territory game slows down one research tree. It still pales in comparison to reputation, credits, officers, blueprints, and literally everything else that moves your power upward. But fine you go ahead liking "pvp" that isn't at all balanced, requires no skill other than slapping the current best officers on your strongest ship and that will largely be predictable in outcome if that is your thing. It is a waste of time and resources but if it entertains you enjoy it but spare us the complaints that something that was already a ridiculous broken joke could possibly be broken any worse. The same people will still win most fights and the people on the low end of the overly broad hit bands will still lose.

[regal geyser]

well, it was different, and that is exactly what was said before. And it got even worse. Right before "the one the one fragment" will play a bigger role in the upcoming arc/season, what ever.
I didn't complaint, btw. The whole game is broken and needs to be fixed.
Just saying, there are different people, playing the game out of different reasons. And since the game provides these things, none of them are less worth then the others - just because one dislike a part of it or finds another more rewarding

[nova sierra]

The game is not broken😳. PvP works great! 🤪

[wise maple]

Here’s another awesome example of this “new” pvp system. 🧐🤔

[low kraken]

Anyone know what this error code 5 thing is?

[haughty condor]

I am trying to get help with a missing battle report. However the tech support chat wants me to upload a screenshot of the battle report I DID NOT RECEIVE. Could you guys outsource your support to a better vender!

[potent shard]

Maybe they have better lowerdeck crew and also maybe their crew level is higher. 🤷‍♂️

[boreal ferry]

I think the issue is that they clearly one shotted them unless the losing ship was stung..

[potent shard]

Well would like to see what the battle log looks like.

[crude sandal]

Pretty clear it's a one shot situation, otherwise the other ship would have taken some sort of damage.
We also know that's exactly what happens once the crit bonuses get past a tipping point that the first weapon crit+breach does enough damage

it's easier for whales to get to that point, but even lower down it's technicially possible - as the ships have less hull to overwhelm

[silk charm]

it's very different if your crit vs players is 400%+ than if it's 100-200%

[crude sandal]

trying to guestimate how much damage the 4 shots would have had to do 😄

would only have needed around 13m damage after mitigation?

first two shots would eat the shields, then second two to finish it off

[cyan portal]

Also possible Lorca didn't proc, I've seen that a few times now

[crude sandal]

would still have dinged the shields if it got a chance to fire

[upper cloud]

Would be great if hostiles for events respawned quick enough to complete events.

[tranquil dew]

Can you code it to stop giving me bloody Kehra BPs past a certain point, so useless

[harsh shard]

You will continue to get them along with kumari and vahklas until hostiles above lvl 46 I do believe. It is annoying cause I have enough bps for them that I could probably build a few hundred of each

At Pilum vs. Pilum wins the one who shoots first. 4 shots first round x 2 because of Freeman... so 8 shots. After that, the other Pilum is scrap.

[mighty spire]

Is this new? Looks like my corvus is 'missing' shots wide?! LOL I do not think I have ever seen a shot produce zero damage.

[earnest granite]

He reduced your critdamage to 0.

[silk charm]

there are a lot of sources of "minus critical hit damage", many of which apply to attacking ships once per defense platform and ship in the base. The most notable of these is the bajoran favor "Bajor's advantage", although the Court of Q may also be a significant factor these days. If this puts your critical hit damage to or below 0, your critical hits won't deal damage.

It's not intuitive, but you're not the first person to find out and you doubtless won't be the last.

[mighty spire]

So a normal hit produces damage, but a critical hit will then produce no damage whatsoever? Seems wrong... Like possibly the critical damage should be the same as a standard hit on a critical hit, with extra damage added. shrug

[crude sandal]

It does weapon 1 player A, weapon 1 player B, weapon 2 etc... So just 4 for that match up

If it went past the first doubled weapon, there would be shield /hull damage to the winner

[silk charm]

there would be ways to design the game differently, yes, but officers like TOS Spock, along with the other sources of critical damage reduction, suggest that it's something the designers think adds depth to the gameplay. I'm not trying to advocate "good" or "bad", just "known, seemingly intentional, not new"

[crude sandal]

Also the reason that Gaila works for uncommon cardis

[glass fulcrum]

The bonus refinery is great. Can we have a bonus ship part refinery as well?

[surreal mica]

Yet another day of asking @tacit obsidian to reply to my DM that I was directed to send by a mod and by @royal solar... le sigh

[minor hearth]

what rubbish. It's even clearer that you can't kick players in the ass.

[maiden gate]

Gotta say Here's to you Scopely.... put a set of events that we have to grind lots of hostiles while you have a bug that randomly keeps our ships in combat with no way to get them out of it.

[woeful nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/riot-gif-22170733 Seriously. Putting everything in T3 Territories. Even the whales will call this out as BS

[celest thistle]

@tacit obsidian - seriously - is $copley trying to force f2p out of the game, Every new thing you introduce is worse than the one before - time to wake up guys !!! seriously wake up and smell the roses. It is 100% blatantly obvious your ONLY objective is to extract maximum $$$ from players in the short term and destroy what was a great game in the medium term.

[woeful nymph]

I highly recommend that if you have another means of sourcing the Monaveen that you release that info....now. You just alienated every alliance that doesn't have a 3 star territory. Unless you feel that a max of 6 alliances per server deserve FTP sourcing.

[grave quest]

no overflow means no broken rod sourcing. in addition to all the rest of the negative feedback already, i find it important to point out that this is a major slap in the face to all free to play players and a huge annoyance to all the dolphins who like getting a break once in a while. Scopely is really trying to force people out of the game who don’t pay thousands a month … and when they leave, there will be no one for the whales to dominate.

[nova sierra]

Counter question: are there plans for the jelly in every territory? No. Join an alliance that gets the territory or wait until at some point there is another way. What's the point of excitement? If you want to have the ship immediately, you have to pay (this is the case with every new ship). Without payment, it takes time. Why would someone pay €100 if they get it for free three weeks later? Someone has to pay Scoply.

[compact terrace]

that was already addressed as that was my concern... i.e. they are going to run normal arc BP events with overflow as well as this BP

[woeful nymph]

Jelly BP's are in Armada Chests. Monaveen BP's are not. Monaveen should be in Cosmic Cleanup with additional BP's in Territories

[nova sierra]

Honestly, Mona's resources are not worth the excitement. I only get 4 to 6 billion Tritanium a day ... Nice additional earnings, but nothing more. The research is good

[sullen pier]

Jelly auctions with lockouts for those with the ship too.

[woeful nymph]

I honestly feel bad for the Devs that designed the Monaveen Loop that now see that 90% of the playerbase won't be able to enjoy the hours of hard work they put into this feature just because management has made the decision to paywall and gate the Monaveen so hard.

[gentle shale]

So I learned a quasi-pricey lesson this week.

I bought the $9.99 Flash Pack thinking it was the equivalent of the $19.99 BP pack I didn’t pass this round.

It turns out that the FP ≠ BP when it comes to getting both rows of rewards.

To get the bottom row you need to spend $99.99. For an event that runs a week.

😒🙄

Fortunately I used money from a CC rewards program payback process v. out of my checking account.

Never again.

[nova sierra]

Stay calm and relaxed. So far, every ship has been available at some point without payment.

[woeful nymph]

Staying Calm and relaxed does nothing except let them think their decision making is ok. Without words there will be no change. I'm not going to sit in a corner and think good thoughts while they drive the playerbase away and the game into the ground

[gleaming thicket]

9.99 should get you the premium flash pass rewards. Are you sure you bought the elite flash pass? Or did you buy a points pack? Ive done the points before accidentally, thinking it was the elite rewards unlock

[pine fiber]

Can we get a territory capture feedback channel?

[gilded escarp]

they said it would probably be made when the season starts

[pine fiber]

nice

[hoary lynx]

Sourcing the Monaveen behind 3* territories was a completely predictable decision for such a greedy company. This means there is no meaningful f2p path for the ship. Thanks $copely

[exotic wave]

wow, only the top 6 alliances with their members will have access to monaveen (6 3* territories) - how restrictive and predictable. Combined with TC times remaining set during the working day - what a let down

[wooden wren]

On our server there is a Kingmaker alliance that has put together its own group of 8 alliances. They control all the 3* and all but one of 2* territories. Right now, the 15th and 16th strongest alliances have 3* territories and 5 territories. Anyway, this power imbalance means that Monaveen BPs won’t be available to the alliances with the following strength: 2,4,5,8 and 10 (and many more 10+). These alliances haven’t had a 3* territory in 2+ years, some never had one. Heck, at on time, alliances 2-10 were all excluded from the Kingmaker group of alliances and we were defeated every time. TC is horrible.

[molten topaz]

Putting the Monaveen behind T3 zones is quite frankly boring and entirely predictable, as well as feeling rubbish to the player-base.

[wise maple]

Where did you see that Overflow will be taken away?

[stark lintel]

They’re referring to the new “Season Pass” for territories. The 3 month long ones coming on Tuesday.

[nova sierra]

Then kill the cargo ships of the 🐳 alliance that allows place 15 and 16 in power 3* territory and excludes all others. Shoot until they are ready to negotiate. 🐳 & 🐬 want to do mining in peace. Your people just have to be able to handle a shield. If a 900 million ship is at the door, shields and do daily tasks or events. Or accept to be suppressed. 🤷🏼‍♂️ There is only the possibility to force negotiations

[cosmic knoll]

My wallet is T3 ... to get me to open it will require tease/dance/pole at a time convienent to myself

[wooden wren]

We fought that war for months. We didn't get anywhere and lost about 15% of our members. Finally we gave up. It was just no fun. Most of us play because we love Star Trek and like to see our game progress by getting ships with more warp range, hitting bigger hositles and getting better research. The PvP aspect of the game is just not fun. So we were forced into a war we coudn't win, which made many of us unhappy and people left the alliance and some actually quit (including a Top 50 player). Some choice. TC stinks. And now they are rewarding those with a stranglehold on TC even more. So the powerfull will get even more powerful. And we aren't an alliance with no spenders or that is small. We are the 4-5th largest alliance. But it makes no difference. The Kingmakers are just too powerful. It was true 2 years ago and is still true.

This is going to make a lot of people unhappy. That is not good for the game.

[pastel path]

Then join them

If they have peace and that's all you really want is a quiet game join em. Make friends move within there group to get what you need. Fake it till you make it or fight.

[kind vale]

Absolutely disgusted with the announcement of the Monaveen sourcing through some 3* territories. About 1/4 of my alliance is talking about walking away from the game, and I am sure there are similar discussions in many other places.

[wooden wren]

We had the 2-10 alliances at war with them and lost. We aren’t going to do that again. Everyone just hates PvP now.

[nova sierra]

Then you have to accept that and bend your knee. If people don't want to fight, it's pointless

[wooden wren]

Yes. My point was Scopely has made this worse by putting more premium stuff in 3* territories. It’s like they want people to quit.

[gusty fractal]

@wooden wren it's the same problem about Jelly and G4 mining nodes: now Jelly is a toy and in my server players mine G4 in the galaxy even if there are empty mining nodes in their T3 zones. Is Monaveen important? How many hours have you in your day? In my day on Earth there are 24 hours and there are not enough for Monaveen/Voyager/Bajoran/.... loop.

Now we are talking about Monaveen so it is important only because it is a new content: does anyone remember Talios, Vidar, Botany, Stella, Discovery, Mantis, Defiant, Fleet Commanders and other older contents? Does anyone remember "Starbase Attack" feature?

@nova sierra every system is safe if you use "relocate token" after you have been spotted

[nova sierra]

The Mona is not essential for survival... she is only a small additional income of Tritanium or steel daily. And everyone will have them at some point. Just like amalgam, Talios, etc. It's the same discussion every time... new ship everyone wants it immediately and for free. 🙈. The game is a marathon and not a sprint. If you want to sprint, you have to use money. P2W game, everyone knew it before

[gilded escarp]

It’s not that people want it immediately for free, but just a better sourcing option than something people are severely limited to being able to get. A lot of servers are controlled by the select few, and if you aren’t in their favor, even just getting into a territory holding alliance can be near impossible, speaking of my own server, but plenty of others have shared similar experiences. Talios had sourcing through getting vidar maxed, people just slept on that ship too long, amalgam was in cosmic cleanup. Jelly is near useless nowadays, so when they see another ship added to territory, and we all know how slow that bleed will be especially for 200bp needed, as it took most over a year to get a jelly from territory, it makes people mad

[nova sierra]

Did anyone from Scoply say that Mona won't join the Cosmic Event at some point? Eco said the game is changing... we'll see. In the end, it's only a matter of time. Was the amalgam in the Cosmic event from the beginning? I don't really remember anymore. I bought one and collected one. Symmetry when raiding is important 🤪

[gilded escarp]

No plan on it going to cosmic cleanup, only plan for Mona currently is 3* territories

[hidden spire]

I think the amount of territory a alliance can hold should be lowered.

The mona only being in a T3 territory will make it so only the king makers get it. Ps they probably already have it. That is garbage 🗑

[edgy harness]

An active alliance of mid and small players can and do beat lazy or mostly inactive whale alliances all the time for territories.

I watch a whale lose his mind every now and then because another group learns for all that he spews threats and vitriol at others, his alliance can’t put enough ships out to actually hold or take a tc from a group with smaller players than him.

[hidden spire]

@edgy harness that may have been true on a few servers but not all. With territories being reset every 3 months you think they will still be lazy about taking them? I don't think so they will want them

[hidden spire]

@nova sierra you won't be able to beat a active whale alliance

[ripe thicket]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar please fix the base attacks where they give no warnings or logs.

[tepid bramble]

Minute, not seconds. Score is counted at the top of a minute. And travel times will eat up said time every time you get hit. A solid whale team WILL win every time. Which is what that guy is describing. Everyone saying it is “doable” are just gas lighting and victim shaming.

[soft aurora]

yeah active take over is also extremly laggy btw 10-20sec screen load times, unable to select systems, relogging your game as your stuck in peretual combat, etc.

[fair jolt]

Scopley has lost so many players and they just keep ignoring feedback! How can they be so ignorant to players? (My previous posts were cencored...so i leave it at that.)

[pale nebula]

I got a one day ban for toxic posting, because every time the zoom bug affected my game play I reported it. I know just but my reports on scopley social media platforms instead.

[nova sierra]

And i bet you don't get banned there because they don't get read

[cyan helm]

I wish the developers come up with option to sell any excess BPs, and event tokens that are left over from previous events. The inventory is full items that I can’t do anything with and makes it hard to find what I need.

[cinder juniper]

Really getting tired of this... my ship has been inaccessible, in combat, for like 5 minutes, with a rom trained fighter closing in lol

[full smelt]

i've heard if you swap ships and/or crew it will finish the battle. not sure if it works though

[lilac saffron]

Change this to t1 now or face pitchforks and torches

[lethal sedge]

Please FIX the chat. This is a vital part of the game and simply not working properly. Messages in private chat just randomly disappear. When you switch devices, they are all there but seemingly getting „transferred“ to the new device because if you go back to the first device, they are all gone.

Even more disturbing right now are the completely missing base raid messages. You will be cleared out during the night and never even know who it was.

[grave quest]

as it turns out i was in error. season pass is not battle pass. season pass will not have an overflow (see faqs posted in announcements) battle pass will continue to have it.

[edgy harness]

They don’t care and don’t see the problem. According to them they’ve actually vastly improved ship and officer sourcing in the game. Except for when they used to give you ships during an arc, and rare and epic officers could be unlocked without relying on event stores or spending hundreds of thousands of mats, or being forced to simply buy shard packs like neelix was going to be and many rare officers now. Oh, and that is also ignoring how sourcing officers was built into the new loops in some way so it continued going forward, like rogue and discovery.
Wait, how did eco improve anything for us?

[kind minnow]

have u actually looked at the most useful part ? the research ?

[nova sierra]

Of course... Research was the main reason why I bought the ugly children's comic ship. 😉

[kind minnow]

and wouldnt call several bills of tritatium daily small amounts ;p

[nova sierra]

I'm small (OPS 46)... Mona brings me 4 to 6 billion tritanium a day. I don't redeem steel, it's unimportant to me, I still have 3.8 T of it 😅. Tritanium is a nice income, but not essential for survival. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[kind minnow]

200+ bill trit for me a month is nice though ;p covers alot of the repair bills ;p

[stark spear]

I would like to repeat this message: @tacit obsidian @royal solar Since ya’ll asked what we’d like to see in the Event Store, here’s my list (mostly things I’ve started working on in past events and then been unable to finish because the events didn’t run again):

• Infinitus Vi’dar skin
• USS Terror Frank-A skin
• Cardassian Disruptor projectile
• Odo (no sourcing in-game)
• Locutus fleet commander
• Subspace relays
• Salvager Feesha refit
• Cerritos refit

[nova sierra]

zoom bug 3x in a row restarting the game, how do you manage to make it worse

[edgy harness]

Practice

[stark spear]

In the event store, there have been five ships I can get bp for using the Galaxy tokens, which you get from the Cosmic Cleanup: Amalgam, Franklin, Vi'Dar, Discovery, and Sarcophagus. This has been the case for several months.

Can you please put in some new ships and perhaps some ship skins?

I have 2900 Galaxy Tokens, and I'm looking for something new in the event store.

[potent rain]

@stark spear now that you showed them a list of thing we really want, Scopely will make susure not to include those things. We need to tell them thing we dont want, and they will put them for sure. Is it time to use inverse psicology?

[slender monolith]

damn, so now we're getting Turas, Orion and Envoy skins...thanks a bunch

[winter sigil]

Could you do something about the ships being stuck in battle? It's happening very frequently on PC and Android and it makes the game unplayable.

[rose nacelle]

How about more fix the broke stuff, and quit pushing more p2w garbage? Only thing scope got that works is the credit card reader. Pathetic.

[nova sierra]

need to sort Pc client on EU126 stuck at 76percent won't log on that is now 3 weekends on the trot it stops working

[fringe junco]

Its unlikely that they will as they dont get any money out of it. They have new stuff in the Store and that they ARE interested in as it generates income. Sorry dude but I feel your pain..

[prime prairie]

Hemi: I can’t find the attachment feature?

[muted elk]

ScOpEly wOrST mAtH?

[slender monolith]

2 numbers, in 2 unrelated places, not equal, looks like logic not maths

[crude sandal]

Your PD follows you, but alliance PD only increases for the amount increased while you're in that alliance (it's not a straight sum of all members).
I believe it also reduces when a player leaves the alliance?

[muted elk]

alliance? this is Players - power destroyed so i dont know why is diffence number on my power destroyed

[crude sandal]

Oh, the leader boards are lagged

[gusty fractal]

On your client power destroyed update is at runtime: on server leaderboard it needs time (it is asynchronous).

[wet trout]

Vidar skin is pointless. Frank a skin is pointless. Cardassian disruptor was in last event store which was literally last month lol. Odo is in incursions event store. Locutus is in incursions event store. Salvager refit is a paywall item. Cerritos refit is in the end of arc event store which was literally last month lol.

[neat imp]

Events are running

[chrome vortex]

Funny I didn't see anything special for the 5th anniversary. Well nothing free. I can get a bottle of something and celebrate w friends but that won't benefit $copley.

[neat imp]

You question Scopley what are you calling me a liar 🤥

[chrome vortex]

Sorry, I must have missed what you said. 🤔

[neat imp]

Carry on 😣

[pale nebula]

So as scopley have decided to take everyone's territory away, probably to make more money. Why don't they just put every player back to level 1,that's going to be their next money making scam.

[neat imp]

@pale nebula all ready accomplished keep being disrespectful.

[fair jolt]

Has anyone from Scopley addressed their new unforced blunder? Putting Monaveen BPs only for the few whale alliances on t3 territory might be the final blow to many players

[kind minnow]

they see it as an additional source of income so that those ppl will be forced to buy it. even so will ppl be able to source it in 3 months from territory ?

[ripe jetty]

One of scopelys masterpieces!

[cinder citrus]

Aka alliances that can't get a T3 territory their members can't collect ship bp's for the monaveen?
Maybe just like the ISS Jellyfish add another way to source the ship so everyone can source it, tyvm.

[urban glacier]

US server 700 has too many bots. Extremely blatant.

[silk charm]

similar concept - it's the server PD leaderboard. PD you got on a different server (during incursions) isn't tracked by your server on its leaderboard, but is tracked to your personal stats all the same

[cerulean wyvern]

Absolute garbage that Scopely is trying to monetize another aspect of the game. Not enough Saudi $$$$ for you Scopely? F thus b.s.

[sacred garden]

I think y’all need to look into why before every update the system starts crashing kicking people out. Every before an update I start getting kicked more and more I tell a few weaks after the update. It sure ain’t my network or internet either since I only have the issues with this game and nothing else

[balmy zealot]

I authorize 1 month of giant exotic sammiches for scopely teams involved in solving stuck ships in battle.
Play long enough you know has been ongoing issue, while frequency might have increased due to ongoing changes, the time decrease it takes to resolve w/out even contacting support is appreciated.
So 1 month of giant exotic sammiches for all!

[astral pasture]

Beautiful people, I'm at level 22 and to this day I still can't find the mission to be quid pro co, and I have no way to evolve, can only support help me?

[silent hollow]

You have finished all the augment missions you have so far?

[noble bramble]

Putting the monaveen in T3 territory is asinine, greedy, and stupid. I say this as someone who will easily have access to it. I still hate it. It's a no good very bad decision.

[karmic meadow]

Would you fix your stoopid game? No battelogs from station attacks now?

[nova sierra]

If I see correctly, the OPS 59 player got 1.5 T steel, 820 billion Tritanium and 5.7 billion Dilithum back. That's nice of Scoply. Do you actually know that there are not really many resources for OPS 59? A building costs over 8 T. It's a good customer and instead of Scoply I would have done the same. The resources are completely gone after not even a construction. He is happy about pixel resources and continues to buy pretty expensive ships, officers and the new prime things that come every month. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Your people have earned well from the RAID. Where is the problem? 🙈

[rich cypress]

Because raiding is boring… and they wasted their time. But primarily that 99% of the people playing this game would NOT have had their RSS refunded. Another poor decision by $coply.

[pastel path]

Heavy pay customers take priority in tons of things in life in general. Expecting a video game company to take the moral high ground is stretch. I get it I'm not a huge spender myself. Money makes the world go round and that ain't changing any time soon .

[nova sierra]

This is a commercial enterprise... as with any other company, good customers are treated differently. If you book economy class on the plane, you won't get the food in the first class either. 😉 If you are in the frequent flyer club, there are pretty gifts. Of course, the company gets more back than it gives you. 🤫

[rich cypress]

No one is saying anything is going to change with this game. In fact we can be sure nothing will improve and certainly a toxic VIP will get whatever they want. But does not mean the community cannot comment on it.

[pastel path]

@rich cypress I agree wholeheartedly keep up the good fight! Blast all the dudes in his alliance pillage there village as often as you can! Cause that's all the satisfaction there is! Lol 🤣 keep trucking!

[nova sierra]

I pay very little... that's why I don't expect this service from Scoply. Example: I didn't come online for two days in December last year, due to errors from Scoply. Of course, my 120 billion resources were gone. I was still OPS 38. It didn't even come to my mind to contact support. Of course I was angry and didn't play for two weeks at all. Then I'm back and stole a good 2 T back this year. It's just pixels... Steel, Tritanium, Dilithum. The more important things are safe. Latinum, G, Token... No one can raid it.

[dire rose]

Why has my ship power dropped? Yesterday my Pilum was at 33500+m today 32500m, also my franklin-a was over 9m today just over 8m same crews if anything more research has been done which means they should be higher!!!

[brazen siren]

Not really.. What you score on other servers through incursion goes on your player card but not on your server leaderboard.

[chrome field]

Did you have a takeover and did not activate some territory services that were active before in your alliance?

[dire rose]

no! also why when I use 50% increased cargo does it go from 245k to 247k how is that a 50% increase??

[placid rain]

diminishing returns, 50% will be much lower always

[dire rose]

If a loaf of bread is 300g and you get 50% more the loaf is now 450g except with Scopely where maths never adds up!

[placid rain]

scopely doesnt count in loafs of bread but in dollars, so try to logic with them!

[silent hollow]

All the math in STFC is addictive - base + modifier(s). I.e. if you already had research or officers that gives 10000% increase than another 50% is added for 10050%.

[slender monolith]

It’s never clear enough that it’s added to the base, so everyone assumes the visible figure, because why wouldn’t you?

[frosty flame]

One question about Territory resent, will all 1 * territories be open tomorrow at reset or only on TC days?

[compact terrace]

im guessing the capture days havent changed... they will just make us buy in to try and take a territory again.

[frosty flame]

This invites another question, buy in all alliances members or like territories resources administration controlled.

[compact terrace]

the TC buy in shouldnt have changed either... unless they have done something they will announce at a later date (or never announce).

[faint snow]

new territory changes only rewards the existing big alliances with adding more perks to T3 like monaveen bp’s and g5 mines

[rough belfry]

While I appreciate the 1k relays in the comp chest. It wasn't enough to get me to the next lvl of the bldg. It wasn't even equal to half of what the next lvl requires. It's rather pathetic. And add on to the fact that incursions are the only source for relays, it means the Subspace relay bldg falls behind every other bldg released.

Even my Court of Q is about to catch up and that bldg was released when? Compared to the subspace relay bldg?

And it's not like the bonuses from the Subspace relay bldg is all that great. Even if I could get thr bldg up to my ops, it's still less than what the Artifact Gallery provides.

#FreeTheRelays

[slender monolith]

You know, specific ones, in the specific system

[queen estuary]

Damn, you're right. Thank you!

[ripe thicket]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar daily reminder to please raise the kill limit. I am tired if hitting it everyday because of the monaveen.

Also, please break the 4* and 5* refineries out for the voyager.

[queen estuary]

Looks like it's FKR armadas

[slender monolith]

The “not really specific ones” then lol

[wise kelp]

Please fix stuff like this. I reload the voyager token systems constantly and still can’t see things sometimes…like other ships

[storm crest]

Need to have events for old refits

[urban glacier]

US server 700 has way too many bots, please investigate. Extremely blatant and no longer fun to play.

like.... holy crap

[dusty swallow]

@tacit obsidian is there any plan to fix battle logs in regard to when someone hits your base?

[surreal mica]

Yet another day of asking @tacit obsidian to reply to my DM that I was directed to send by a mod and by @royal solar... le sigh

[woeful veldt]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar any comment regarding t3 territories NOT being f2p sourcing of the monaveen?

[queen valve]

This is the kind of moving of the goal posts that drives out more and more of the player-base.

[wind vortex]

Since when is there a server 700?

[harsh shard]

maybe they are themselves a bot

[wind vortex]

"Please click the real STFC servers on this picture until there are none left."

[wet meteor]

What's the official reason the PvP Ops ranges get bigger as you increase in Ops instead of smaller... 'cos it leads to some very very very badly unbalanced PvP so I'm really curious what the reason behind it is

[rich elm]

PvP has always been unbalanced, being driven by the wallets / officers that you can get primarily through spending. Seems like most dont like PvP anyway and somehow Scopely finds ways to force everyone into it.

[shell root]

If the PvP ranges were smaller, then the big spenders would have limited people they could target outside of other big spenders. Then they just leave the game and no longer spend. So the ranges are widened for their benefit to keep the cash flowing.

[wet meteor]

It wouldn't be as bad as it is now if you had any hope what so ever of defending against the level 46 that just attacked you with their 300m power ship as a level 30 Ops player (Edited; corrected for the missing zero in 300m)

[wind vortex]

ROE is a player construct. If Scopely had their way the punching down would be far, far worse.

[tepid bramble]

You got 1k?! I only got 500. That is bogus!

[wet meteor]

Right, so the take away from that is that PvP is intentionally utterly borked... fun (not in any shape way or form is that even remotely in the same universe as anything even remotely resembling the basic concept of "fun" and the sarcasm used should be taken as being so utterly dry that the sahara after a 10 year drought would have more moisture)

[rich elm]

Pretty much ... the $copely expectation is that they will create a spending competition so you can actually do something in PvP, when in fact, most of the people I know, eventually just get burned out and either just opt out of most PvP events and slowly advance in ops or end up quitting.

[wet meteor]

With that rare exception to that of those who have either won the lottery and have no sense of the value of what they're spending, or they're spending someone else's money and don't care and just bully those that don't spend as much... then wonder why servers die and get merged.

[cosmic knoll]

Prepare .... to break the 💩 emoji button tomorrow

[next haven]

To further frustrate hundreds if not thousands have stated this very frustration, Tagged eco and bek, just to be ignored. I've seen them comment on tags before and after but ignore the pvp complaint all together. Players deserve an official response.

[nova sierra]

Since there are only 4 profiles on Server 700. Is it probably a test server🤷🏼‍♂️

[wind vortex]

So the comment about it being riddled with bots is probably not inaccurate 🤔

[wet meteor]

Apparently there are some VIP accounts floating about at the moment. Someone noticed a 4 day old account that's already 68mil power on our server earlier tonight.

Ahh I missed a zero

[lethal ledge]

It isn't garbage at all that a business is trying to make money selling their product. What is garbage is how badly they seem to be at it. I understand there is a fine balance of making this game engaging enough for people to buy stuff, AND engaging enough for f2p players to enjoy to, and therefore bolster the game economy and encourage more customers - but they just seem to get so many things wrong so much of the time.

I loved the Feedback pop up. I filled it. Do another one where I can say what I think of the Store Purchase options. I have a lot to say and many suggestions.

[rose warren]

can we get some improvements made on the defense cannons? considering the cost and time to unlock theyre pretty trash. like they're not automatic which okay i get, but they have a relatively short window and also they tell the attacker theyre up like come on theyre close to worthless

[limber mesa]

would also be nice if they were available on the ships they're listed for.
like north star and horizon.

[wild bane]

I agree in principle with what you're saying but 46ops players would be lucky to have a 30m power ship. 300m is the territory of the higher g5 players. I drove a 27m pilum at ops46.

[spring flax]

It was announced on the 29th of sept in game updates.

[spare imp]

First Tuesday of every month ladies and gents lmao, same time, same day, each arc maintenance. Whether it’s down for 3 hours or 30 hours is still yet to be decided 😂

[white nova]

@tacit obsidian ~ Lower Decks characters do not feel like real content. They are presented as "real people" in SNW... if in realistic form maybe. But 2d billboard characters bore me and make me lose interest. Seems like missed opportunity.

There is so much to pad with alongside this as distraction if 2d characters must be presented.... unused character models... gorn... etc.

[tropic crown]

Most of content isn’t for average player.

[tepid bramble]

Or slowly just stop playing and advancing. Because we just don’t see any point in it. 🤷‍♂️

[celest thistle]

Agreed - I am in that boat - I introduced over a dozen friends into the game mid 2022 - all but 3 of them have already quit - 4 where significant spenders, and the other 3 agree that the enjoyment is long gone from this game. They where waiting to see what this so called PLAN that @tacit obsidian raved about in DJ's stream - and as we all guessed it was just another money grab. There is no Plan to fix PvP - just a plan to force you to buy packs to line their pockets if you want to be competitive and I think too many people have had enough. So they are also quitting - instead we have pooled the money we would have spent and are building a 6 way F1 SIM in my garage.

[nova sierra]

Why don't you like your friends?🫣 The best way to end friendship is to recommend this app. 👀

[celest thistle]

LOL - totally agree with that statement now - STFC have lost my loyalty and they will need to do a LOT to gain it back. We are all Trekkies and loved the game back then. I have not recommended it to anyone in the last 6 months and if anyone even mentions it in the future I will be quick to warn them against it. STFC management and their creative (and I use this term loosely) have month by month , feature by feature destroyed this game - one day they will wake up and see it but i fear it will be too late.

[clever orbit]

Monaveen is meant as a catch-up mechanic to make 40-60 easier, but a lot of f2p won't be able to get it, if only the top 6 alliances (or less) have a shot at getting a 3* territory. anyone not in a top alliances (which spender predominantly occupy) will not get a monaveen.

[civic haven]

Only the three strongest alliances in the server get Monaveen shards? Nice…👎👎

[nova sierra]

Um... Comic ship BP is only available in three territories. So either go to the three top alliances or Mona is not... or just buy.

[austere coyote]

@tacit obsidian , is it me or did you mix up the Disco and the Cerritos?

[lavish dagger]

Attention to detail, it's over rated!

[tepid bramble]

Less, it will ONLY be in three systems. (Not all the 3*, only half of them) and you KNOW the whale fleets will take them, shutting out anyone else. This whole game is (and has been since the inception of the TC) designed to create “haves and have nots”. Scopy thinks this generates dollars. What it really does is create animosity. Me personally, I find myself playing less and less and definitely closing my wallet more and more. This is just going to speed the end of the game faster. 6 months.

[placid rain]

why do you care so much about this ship? its ok to have but nothing special, so not really required

[pine blaze]

Captures are still broken anyways

[clever orbit]

You're clearly not in the 50s if you think that. This ship allows f2p and light spenders progress into the 50s, which previously required huge amounts of parsteel to build, huge amounts of trit to run ships, and huge amounts of dil for research

[queen valve]

It creates two classes in the economy. Early tier, ops in their 50's can pull 7-9T of parsteel extra a month. This ship will inject packs worth of Parsteel, Trit, and Dil into accounts. Not having it puts you on a completely different progression track. That's not even mentioning the research that can increase rep, armada rewards (G5 armadas now in the game), and the pvp boosts that are the equivilant of multiple primes for sale being found in the research tree.

[nova sierra]

Well... the comic ship is ugly, but it brings me (OPS 46) 120 to 180 billion tritanium a month. The research is also good. So I'm glad to have bought it. Whereby it would be nicer if half were as a token. Too much cash in the station attracts the mob🤣

[torpid kelp]

wow congratulation?

[serene dragon]

Why have territories been reset? Everything said it would be at reset, not at maintenance. 🤬

[cyan portal]

Why wouldn't you just add g5 nodes instead of swapping some of the already few g4s

[nova sierra]

So it's been clear for a long time. Maybe you shouldn't listen to "everyone"...

[serene dragon]

Well that is ambiguous at best. As the only maintenance has been done the update doesn't go 'live' until reset.

[spark acorn]

As long as the whales keep buying garbage with no fixes, scopely will ride the money horse till it's knees buckle, and when it hits the ground dead, they'll kick it for a few more feet.

[nova sierra]

Far be it from me to question your logic but is there any reason the faction stores are now 2 columns on a 14.6 inch tablet screen? i mean...they're 3 on my 6.8 inch phone screen. Does the animated faction character really have to be half of the screen in width?!?

[molten jungle]

Having some 3* with the pickle ship an others with the new particle instead of having both available in 3* is a horrible design decision. It will take years to unlock that ship by which time, I won't care about it anyway. I barely care about it now.

[queen valve]

I can't see any other reason behind their decision making other than they want to force all of their top players into 3 alliances on each server.

[chilly igloo]

The new Chronometric Particle only available in three Embassies is absurd. Additionally, not updating the Merridian to allow Chronometric Particle pulls is also absurd. Servers are already separated drastically into two groups and this furthers the gap. Place the Monaveen Construction Yards in all six 3* Embassies and spread the Chronometric Particles into select 2* systems. I can't imagine any server having anything but the three top alliances "hogging" the 3* systems and leaving everyone else behind. If you want territory to be competitive this isn't the route.

[tame breach]

Dear Scopely. Jelly and 4* rss should be in 2* systems. Its 2023. Thanks

[drifting karma]

you gave us a comp chest for no incursions this month, but give us sweet [expletive] all for taking our territories away! thank you SOOOO much, Scopely. making me want to play more!! what will Scopely do next? certainly not fix bugs!

[queen valve]

This is bad design.

Hi - theres a guy in our server EU SEPULO 110 who is threatening Suicide in our GC.

[clever orbit]

tag eco he might be able to do something

[still dirge]

DM'd him and the mods

[remote minnow]

Starter chests for the new g5 Armadas, all types, are far too small.
Rare 53 as an example

[chilly igloo]

I still stand by what I said. One can hope a FTP path outside of those 3 systems will present itself and hopefully they'll take what I said into consideration and provide other options. Guess we will see shortly.

[prime socket]

Idk why you decided to shrink faction stores from 3 columns to 2, but it’s completely unnecessary. While you’re at it, get rid of the waste of space that is the person on the right hand side and fill the screen with useful stuff. Way too much scrolling.

[wintry zinc]

i can confirm they messed up the layout on 16:9 devices. The issue is solved on the (ultra)wides though. I do agree however, make that totally useless avatar on the right, smaller by a factor 8 and use the rest of the space to create a full-width store 🙂

[nova sierra]

Did you do the update , as mine did go from 3 tapps to 4 taps actually for the first time in ages i am happy with 1 chance

[prime socket]

The update is what made the change.

[pine blaze]

I'm fine with territories resetting every 3 months or whatever, but you have to fix captures.

[nova sierra]

Fix 😂😂 thats a word the dont knoe

[molten iris]

territory reset during maintenance and nothing said in game for players without discord… wow

[forest jetty]

Does anyone have the same problem that we have on Server152?

[devout quiver]

i thought the reason people are leaving is bad updates XD

[nova sierra]

Can Scopely fire Bek its digital content manager and just hire another developer to fix bugs?

[molten iris]

i concur with the above, really?! or is this just an tablet issue?

[shadow aspen]

The game is getting less and less fun, the only thing keeping it going is the community atmosphere. The game is full of more bugs and stupid additions that are causing stress where there should be fun. The cost to get anywhere is far too high for the value of what you buy. Game play is becoming way too time consuming to complete any decent daily level of achievement, and now to top it off we have this utterly pointless territory reset to bring more bugs. Bek really needs to get a grip and manage properly, or give the chair to someone who can do the job right and sort the needs of fixing things before adding more ways to gain money from the poor members who suffer from lack of ability to say no and not spend money that they will regret in time. For the most expensive app or game on the internet, members deserve much better. 😔

[silver bramble]

Three 3star Territory Systems with the Moonaveen Buff/Generator and two 3 star with the Chronometric Particle Generator. That's your great RESET. Shame on you to support only bigger alliances and big gamers. You destroy the fun in the game during the year very fast - maybe next Christmas the game has no gamers.

[nova sierra]

Oh, who wants M.ona parts and the new particles must occupy two 3* areas. This will be very entertaining for the next few weeks.

[loud cove]

We need more representation of said voices☝🏻. SCOPELY, you clearly are tone deaf and only listen to a room full bobble-heads when you pitch these terrible ideas.

[tepid bramble]

Oh, this is going to create absolute hell on most servers. Whale fleets WILL take 2 3* systems. Count on that. There will be THREE congregations of whales, and everyone else will be left out. This will absolutely wreck fleets that have finally settled after TC originally ripped fleets apart when the whales left their friends to congregate before. Well done @royal solar, you have found a new way to destroy any sense of community and good will in this game, yet again furthering the divide between haves and have nots. All for the sake of a dollar. Scopy reminds me of Burke from Aliens. 🙄

[loud cove]

Guys, I would go further up the chain vs Bek... you have to look at the guy(s) who sat across from Eco and UltimateDJ at the Hot wing Table interview. Those guys are the ones who are lying to us about how wonderful it is to be entrusted with such a fan based franchise and yet are screwing the experience for us, the fans. Bek can only shovel 💩as it rolls down the hill.

[tropic crown]

They listen to the cash and as long as people pay for what they are doing they will keep doing it. The whales are driving their bad behavior.

[molten iris]

meridian refinery should include the new particles… and shame on you for making 3 star unattainable

[livid stone]

@tacit obsidian little bit of feedback on the new G5 armadas. People are loving the extra loot, but we noticed the start chests on the epics didnt scale really at all... is that by design? (ugg if so). I can get 100K as a starter on a 51 epic, or cardi 50 epic - but when I ran a 59 epic, I also got 100K. Seems strange the epic starter chest did not scale, where the rare and uc did.

[sullen matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-i-member-south-park-s20e1-member-berries-member-gif-20603952

[tepid bramble]

From what I am seeing and a bit of deductive reasoning. Scopy doesn’t want altruistic whales carrying their littles anymore. They truly want to create a more Thunderdome, player eat player experience because in their whacked out minds they feel this makes them more money. I personally find it repugnant.

[spark acorn]

Hopefully everyone quits and they go under. Serves em right treating a community like this, especially the way players will invest is like no game I've ever seen. Your bad scopely enjoy the beach .

[cosmic knoll]

Dear STFC, ist = iso round 1, est = iso round 1, bst = iso round 2? enough said, you wont be making much money this arc

[rotund yew]

So now u kicked us out of our territories do we get a refund of iso we used to start the boosts that you have taken from us mid 7 days?

[sullen matrix]

your fault, it was common knowledge it resets again

[autumn echo]

I would recommend communicating something about all the issues this upgrade has caused eg daily’s and events not scoring at all, etc.

[rotund yew]

Not when it was taken. Yes was going to happen not any specific date. We got that yesterday when they announced the maintenance.

As for other issues not seen any as finished dailies within 2 hours of reset

[sullen matrix]

we knew its gonna reset before the first TC was even taken

[rotund yew]

Well aint u the one with your head up scopes butt. Just read on tc channel even yesterday people were asking when it was resetting

[umbral wren]

In their first announcement they said it was reseting with part 2 of the arc, from history you knew that would be today or next Tuesday, from events and history you knew it was today

[bleak imp]

[tranquil dew]

[woven flare]

52 unc gives less loot from starter chest than a 49 unc! 670k for a lv49 starter but only 108k from starting and winning a lv52 unc armada. Surely that should be 1.08M

[hollow ridge]

Factions screen went from 3 wide to 2 on my phone. Looks terrible and horrid to have to scroll that much. iPad was fine but good grief the phone layout is annoying

[vocal pollen]

How did you predict, that we would be exited about a new armada? 😃
I guess this is how Scopelys monthly meetings run:
„Good morning everyone! We need a great new feature in this game to keep players engaged. Any ideas?“ Everyone is putting a finger to their mouth and entering a thinking pose. Silence for 5 minutes. Then one person is raising a hand. „Yes, Marc?“ - „I think people would love to see a new armada.“ Everyone in the room slightly starts nodding their heads. „This is an amazing idea! Well, then let’s create a new skin and change the loot. It will take about 5 minutes to implement, but our players will assume we worked hard the whole month to get this feature ready on time. And by the way … no bugs this time!“ - silence - „Just kidding, let’s go!“

[cerulean flare]

I don't get why they couldn't have waited until reset to wipe territories. Kind of a dick move with lat rush going on.

[loud cove]

Wow... even simple tasks seem challenging for Scopely to figure out...

[austere reef]

There will be enough legit criticisms offered in this space. I’d like to offer that I appreciate that the event schedule already being out within 20 minutes of events being visible is very welcomed.

[tawdry rivet]

wow the new fleet commander slot and prime armada refnery, prime structure bundles at ops 47... only reward 3* mats with it...

[molten iris]

that makes no sense - we primarily use 4 star 🤦🏻‍♀️

overflow should be in battlepass tab ……. and where is the territory one?

[urban verge]

Seeing stuff like this so disheartening. Last month was pretty depressing for how terrible the content was. Seeing all the new money grabs they have this month makes me feel like nothing is going to change. I've been playing every day since the fleet commander building released and its still not high enough to seat 2 commanders now there is another slot for $$$. Also all these new fleet commanders with no way to earn them without dropping 100$ minimum.

Every pack is always 100$ without fail. They don't even try to throw us a bone in anyway shape or form. It truly feels like they're trying to milk the games community dry. They haven't gone back and given us way to earn some of the old primes either its always just more $$$ only. If they actually gave us a little back or ways to earn some of these new things without having to spend constant cash this game would be much better off but that's never going to happen.

Mean while old content is still buggy and untouched nothing is fixed. Imagine how much nicer it would be if they actually cared about the user base and not just trying to get every dime out of the playerbase. They are pushing me away from this game and I hope others manage to escape too.

@tacit obsidian So I just ran back to back epic armadas. a lvl 51 which had a starter chest of 98K and a lvl 56 which only gave a starter chest of 73K.

Is this a mistake? because the lvl 56 epic is 4.7B in power vs only 680M. why would my starter chest be WAY lower?

[maiden garnet]

Also this graphic overlay. However, I like more tabs at the top as the events have been super crowded.

[tepid bramble]

Because they don’t want “littles” starting a big armada and getting carried. They want to further divide the player base and squash any type of of camaraderie. They are being petty and miserly chasing a dollar.

[cerulean sandal]

Considering our server's territorial structure, it's evident that a consensus has naturally emerged. As a result of the territorial reset, many alliances have tacitly agreed to revert to their original positions, recognizing that each alliance's capacity to control specific regions had already been firmly established. Even with Scopely's introduction of a few new features, it's improbable that these additions will significantly alter the prevailing power dynamics. Notably, the Monaveen blueprints stand out as an example. Whales have heavily invested in them, rendering them virtually worthless to others. It's expected that these influential alliances will immediately seize the research particles, just as they currently dominate the best territories. Consequently, legitimate combat is unlikely to occur because they will always win by default, as they always have. Placing these items where they are leaves little opportunity for smaller alliances and independent players to ever acquire them. Furthermore, on older servers, larger alliances have reached maximum capacity, resulting in minimal changes to alliance memberships. Any influence on the locations certain groups choose won't fundamentally change who controls what. At best, a few initial skirmishes may occur, but they are likely to prove inconsequential. Engaging in fruitless conflicts, even with the introduction of new items, will invariably lead to predictable outcomes. Victory in the game remains contingent solely on the financial investments made by participating alliances. On older servers, these dynamics were firmly established months, if not years ago. The ongoing decline in player numbers and the scarcity of new recruits have entrenched this situation, making it nearly permanent. Significant alterations typically only manifest when external interpersonal conflicts arise, unrelated to the game itself.

[civic haven]

“Would have been died”?

[tepid bramble]

Yup, scopy created their own cascade effect when they decided to treat dolphins and free to play like second class and nonexistent citizens, instead of just treating the whales like VIPs. They deserve what is coming. (Hint, utter collapse of the game and further disgust with their brand. I know I will never touch a game that has their name on it, and I currently warn anyone away from doing so)

[edgy harness]

Looks intentional to keep people from using voyagers and relying on whales to carry

[potent shard]

Scopley really thinks that the top 3 alliances will give up territory and let others shift around and share every three months. Ha!

[wary breach]

is it even possible to speak to a human being when contacting support

[vale wasp]

Eventually going through one of the options in #👽-how-to-contact-support you'll reach a person, but "speaking" in real time probably won't be a thing.

[dusky lance]

@tacit obsidian ship events are gone from daily events for a while now. Is this a glitch or something intended?

[lavish thorn]

Based on the delay of Scopely responses, I would suggest Scopely support is located somewhere in the Delta Quadrant.

[viscid barn]

So, the new territory stuff will just be a "win more" stuff for whales. This goes with everything else, like the recent pvp officers shenanigans.
I really don't get the point, is it really more profitable to increase the "win more" conditions, instead of giving opportunities to the whole player base to upgrade and to give a challenge to whales that will buy more in order to stablish again the domination?
Shouldn't the game be about a constant chasing from bottom to top, instead of an increasing separation of the sides? It will rip at some point.

[sacred garden]

What good is clearing the Tc’s if you’re going to allow the alliances that had them to remain camped in them? This whole clear the Tc’s for tc battle pass which doesn’t even show sucks rocks totally disappointing. Clear the tc’s out of all stragglers make em have to travel there unknowing like everyone else.

Because then I wouldn't get to enjoy the tears of whales in mini "I threw my toys out of the pram" alliances when they can't win a takeover... 👀

[civic haven]

The battlepass tab is too easy to overlook right now. I have two suggestions. Each would adequately address the problem.

1. Put the battlepass event back in the events section (you can still have a battlepass tab to show both battle pass and season pass progress).
2. (Probably not the most popular among players) add a pip until the daily BP event is completed.

[neat pier]

Shorter answer then the one in the notes is:
No. still very laggy. Unable to target ships and when you do enter battle they last several minutes.

[tranquil dew]

Had ships stuck at home unable to leave even after I sent them

[wooden spire]

Lag lag lag your lag gently down the lag, laggity laggity laggity laggity, life is just a lag.

[gleaming ferry]

The recent reset which deleted capture territory is in violation of commercial rights. Since player resources are expended to maintain territory rights, game developers no longer have commercial control over a switch in control. In essence players are being charged multiple ways for the the same service. That’s clearly deceptive. I’m forwarding an expanded version to my state division of consumer affairs.

[gusty fractal]

to decrease lag try to play with PC client

[frigid monolith]

You're supposed to give feedback here, then I'll give feedback. Setting the territories to neutral so that they can be conquered again is one of the most stupid ideas Scopely has ever had.

[rich elm]

I disagree, they have had worse, and most likely worse are going to come, its like the norm for them having bad ideas and implementing stuff that everyone hates, while ignoring what players ask for

[nova sierra]

The new event split-out battlepass vs other is a positive. Additional FC slots also welcome, can accept that is paid-for content for now with a f2p sourcing (eventually!) through Syndicate. Admiral Freeman officer is a welcome addition to game. The new 'dabo' style event looks ok. However, Monaveen sourcing; volume of new bugs; and no solution to Freeman in pvp; recycling TC with no user-end improvements; yet another new currency, increased iso mining requirements.... It's a mixed month that does nothing to improve sentiment

[blazing ingot]

Usually our terra is divided into its own zones and there are no wars, now there was a small war for a zone in terra, and here you can immediately notice the company’s complete disregard for scopely in terms of improving performance when there are many units in one zone, what kind of lags there were last year and in the year before last - now everything is the same - it’s impossible to play, there are very strong lags, it’s just not interesting to play your scenarios 🤷👎👎

[jaunty turtle]

@tacit obsidian when will you improve the G4 armada chests. Cost vs rewards are atrocious

[woeful pine]

Thanks Scopeley for this new area carnage, we were just off to a good start! 🤦‍♂️

[woven flare]

@tacit obsidian those values are still under what a g4 top level armadas give out

[forest canopy]

While we're refreshing territory, now would be an absolutely fantastic time to fix the ISO leaderboards.

[obtuse parcel]

$50 for the TC battlepass elite. Are you all serious. Come on.

[drowsy scroll]

This month's arc is a total waste, IMHO. Not worth my time and definitely worth my money.

[wise maple]

$50 for the territory battle pass? Hard pass. What a joke scopely. 👎

[gaunt river]

You must be having a LAUGH at that Season battlepass. I was all ready to buy it when it dropped but 60 quid for utter garbagio no thanks

[noble vortex]

Yep, I'm about ready to say 👋
Paying more money for more grind? Yeah, no.

[void marlin]

@tacit obsidian I dont post often about events but the rewards in the TC battle pass are absolute garbage and you want us to spend $50 on it for the elite track. The free track is also garbage, at milestone 29 you get 150 fusion rods...... just wow

[tropic crown]

Massive lag and errors popping all over the place. An as expected whale fleets are just murdering everyone. Another dead feature for 90% of players.

[noble thicket]

Was that before or after this morning's announcement about the increases in starter chest rewards? Because there's been an adjustment this morning so I would hope Scopely will comp those that ran armadas beforehand, but you know, $$$$$$$ so unlikely.

[charred ermine]

I would like to give feedback about how the new territory catpure event is level based. That seems messed up. Why would you need more points then a lower ops person to get the same reward? Territory is an alliance group objective, not a by the player objective. Unless I could score points by my alliance not being in the territory capture, having it based on ops is wrong. Very very Wrong!

[sullen terrace]

Can you please fix the Syndicate XP event, the milestone are kinda stupid now. I used to be able to reach the first milestone, but not much chance of that without paying for xp. 🤦‍♂️

[nova sierra]

With the costs of this game, for battlepass, season passes, general packs to just be able to progress at a decent rate, I never expected to have to sign my Mrs up to OnlyFans to be able to play this. She thanks you for her new change of career to help me fund this pile of 💩

[limber spire]

This makes the decision to quit more and more easier

[cold yoke]

So.....scopley....how about some clue or posting about how to score in this new ridiculous tc season BP. Might be nice, just saying. Is your pack even worth buying if theres zero indication on how to get those points to progress?

[brittle veldt]

i swear this company never learn that there is a limit to how silly and absurd you can be before making people quit 🤣 this is the only worth feedback about these continuous fails lol

[rich elm]

what is going to be next a DAILY PASS ?

[ripe thicket]

@tacit obsidian , @royal solar this is your daily reminder to raise the kill cap. I am tired of hitting it daily and not being able to finish all the daily grinds.

[hoary saffron]

Suppose I should not be surprised. Every 5 seconds. Guess the response is to restart, clear localization etc.... no Scopely.... fix the problem! So tired of this, everyday ( notice the self control, no swearing)

[cerulean sandal]

Crazy so many people packed into the first TC it became unclickable about 2 minutes in.

[maiden garnet]

You are giving Kerla’s shards… this is not worth peoples time. I didn’t like most of the rewards for the Territory Pass. Why not any of the officers that help during territory takeover or any hard to get officers? I don’t need anything on this except the forbidden tech.

[devout quiver]

Hahaha kerala shards

[cerulean sandal]

They're going to have to add an element to this that an alliance is required to keep the territory they capture. What's to stop a major wheel group from dropping a territory after each win to engage the next one. That's going to go over really badly, if at the end of all this only one group has a territory.

[weary geyser]

Seriously? You had the make it 2 columns on iPAD? At this point make it 1 column…what’s the point in having 2. It’s just useless.

[fading adder]

Wow! Terrible rewards kerla and gorkon! Everyone already has these officers max. Well done scopy stupid idiots again

[maiden garnet]

Resource_name_short_59501 is a bit expensive for what we get out of it. $49.99 for Kerla shards, Nadions, and a couple of weird particles is not the best trade. Who is deciding on the rewards for these passes? Does this person plays the game? I am a level 29 and this is all useless to me, I can’t even imagine for a level 35 up how it is.

[harsh thunder]

The 5C battlepass looks like crap. Kerla... what are you people doing?

[frozen charm]

Seriously guys how do you want us to complete the new terri BP Event? 30k points and 1 minute gives only 120 points for a ship. Thats not possible in 5 days and all the fighting. Do the guys who create the events even play the game? I dont think so. We got one territory and the next is in 4,5 days avaible. Only 6k points gathered so far. 👎

[tropic crown]

On our server the top fleet is just take each territory for points, dropping it and moving on to next. Apparently scoopley couldn’t see that coming.

[indigo sentinel]

That's not a Scopley problem, that's an alliance behavior problem

[maiden garnet]

I am actually very excited for Territory Takeover. I think it is a great idea. I have been on 6 territory takeovers this year, and it was awesome. Scopely just need to be more attuned with how players play the game, and our needs. Our alliance is planning our next takeover.

[tropic crown]

Oh it’s great if you’re in the top fleet on your server, other not so much.

[maiden garnet]

My alliance is at 16 position on the alliance rank for the server. We are very small composed of only 6 players level 40 up, and the rest in their 20s and 30s, and we are always holding our territory using a good realta and Orion burn. The reset of territory is good for smalls, the big alliances were in their comfort zone and didn’t even attack each other territories anymore. The reset changes their dynamic and even diplomacy, it brings fresh air to the game. Will Whales obliterate smalls? Yes, but when doesn’t they do that? We need mechanisms for small alliances to succeed. I remember when we got our first territory this year, we all moved with all bases there, we were so happy we won against a bigger alliance because they forgot their territory even existed and then it was too late. Of course, that was our experience. The issue with the territory is the warp speed, it is far away from everything

[gilded escarp]

Hard to get points when this consistently pops up preventing you from reentering the system, still ongoing too

[spark acorn]

Way to make the new territory feature a Whale Palace. You suq scopely, $100 and $50 buys for crap

[mild plover]

What is it with the Hostile limit does not seem fair......Limits what we can do. But I'm sure that is the point

[crisp lichen]

The lag is extremely horrible for territory space. Fix it please! 🥺

[tame spade]

Cut the price for the territory pass in HALF and then we’ll talk. This is just nuts.

[cinder portal]

and to add even after the increase because the team realizes they had another special math, you dont even get the loot matching to the levels from support....

[wraith palm]

I'm honestly not surprised that Scopely did a territory reset however all it did on my server at least is give the alliance that wants to be the oveall over lords and say that they run the server more power to NOT share any of the territories with anyone. Way to go more palace for Whales and not let anyone else grow or get particles or anything else. How bout making a territory for every alliance?

[sullen terrace]

Even at half price it’s still not worth it. If people buy this garbage then they will just keep adding more battlepasses. 🙈

[frozen charm]

But the 2x Kerla shards are worth buying it. 🤣

[latent quartz]

Hello Scoply. PLEASE implement a MARK ALL MSGs AS READ! Button. It is really a waste of time to go through all message once you switch to another device. Thank you!

[austere reef]

A couple of notes:
The ones I’ve been a part of that featured at least some fight have been a lag fest.

Ones that were full and more like a peaceful sit in still crashed about every 5 minutes

Having officers with SEVERAL avenues of sourcing (e.g. Kerla, Gorkon) as rewards in in TC battlepass are of no interest.

There’s a lot of officers that have literally zero or nearly zero sourcing they could choose from. Even if I’d use them way less than Gorkon, I would rather have any access to the other, impossible to source shards.

[swift steppe]

This officer event shows orders of magnitude greater rewards than this on event page

[pine fiber]

What fun it is to enjoy these system lockout territory battles again. <- that was sarcasm if it wasn't obvious.

[mild fulcrum]

Are you looking at the same bracket 👀

[swift steppe]

It's the whole thing one upgrade, my own bracket

[molten iris]

not everyone

[languid pumice]

In general, I’d say the game as of late has been extremely glitchy. I’m rebooting numerous times a day as hostile hunters go sideways, my ships disappear, extreme lag, amongst a number of other performance issues.

And, this territory reboot is insane. Mass confusion and cutthroat.

[cerulean sandal]

It looks like there was an option called Replicator Territory to purchase ISO1 in the event store which a lot of the lower level alliances were using and now it's gone? Edit: It has since reappeared about a minute ago. Way to go Scopely, you seriously had some flaming going on on our server over that. 😂😂😂

[acoustic cloud]

@tacit obsidian
The game is unplayable.
Connection issues, lag, freeze, logout, try again.

You guys can't rollout a recurring territory capture schedule and expect us to deal with your servers catching on fire every 30 seconds.

[cerulean sandal]

They definitely need to do something about these alliances winning and then immediately dropping territories to repeat the process. I get what Scopely's idea was about initiating a redistribution and attempting more action within territory, although I firmly believe it would simply revert to the same power/socioeconomic structure it originally had. These alliance's actions are ruining the experience.

[cloud helm]

There is a cost to join a takeover. I doubt anyone has enough to keep winning and dropping territories?

[cerulean sandal]

There are packs available for it. Not that they would ever need it, they have millions upon millions.

[dense reef]

Credit cards "Win" ! I dislike this game ! It used to be fun

[void juniper]

this territory thing is just going bottoms up on our server.. the top alliance is stronger than the next 4 combined, and they're sitting in every takeover and blocking anyone from doing anything. its the WORST

[vital dagger]

true

[stable sandal]

Just a statement: Scopely, you released territories 3 years ago; it was a horrible experience with the lag and choppiness, which is why it stagnated. You “re-released” it this week with several updates but you DIDN’T FIX ANYTHING. The lag is absolutely insane and systems are almost impossible to enter. Once you do, your ship is destroyed before the system stabilizes and lets you see what’s there. You continue to add new features without fixing anything that doesn’t work. This has led to your company name becoming a verb, not a noun -as in, “Scopelyed again”

[cerulean sandal]

They could fix issues with powerful alliances dropping and hitting every territory by making it mandatory that once an alliance has won a tier 1 territory. They may only capture adjacent territories and if they drop it they may not re-enter territory for one week. A simple timer would resolve the issue.

[thorn elm]

hah. we have alliances who flood the system an hour BEFORE the takeover, so you can't even join one of the systems at all. the strongest alliance on the server can't contest it, either

[ripe thicket]

@tacit obsidian , @royal solar I seriously looked at the TC battlepass elite. There are some nice rewards in there. And it is not too far off from the elite monthly battlepass. I looked at the numbers and then realized that you made it IMPOSSIBLE for 90% of the player base to finish it unless all the alliances agreed not to fight and let players sit and collect points.

Why? you need 312 minutes, PER WEEK, in a TC takeover with a ship. 5.2 hours with a single ship. Unless an alliance controls 2 or more TC's and has no one contesting, it can't be completed. Even if alliances JOIN a touching TC, unless they have cloaking amalgams, they will run out of time/mats/chances. Based on the current points, a player would have to compelte EVERY WEEK to finish. The first week many should as the TC's are all open. After they get one, their alliances is locked in. Unless they control multiple and are not contested and killed, it can't be done by any reasonable or acceptable methods.

So why are you asking the player base to purchase a 3 month investment when you KNOW for a fact, so many will not be able to finish it? With all the people invovled in this, I can not imagine how this was signed off knowing that so many of your customers will fail it!

[worldly narwhal]

Hold on, it's $50 and £50? Can I switch to an American server to get it cheaper?

[brittle veldt]

switching server doesn't change the price lol

[steady helm]

yeah that is odd £50 is $60

[brittle veldt]

taxes and economical changes in EU caused price to go up a little, but scopely won't take less money to keep it same price so you pay the extra now lol

[remote flume]

Wish I noticed the BP events getting moved from the "events" tab! Didn't do yesterday's BP since I didn't see it. 😭

[rough minnow]

Congratulations!!!!! You have managed to, yet again, screw the pooch! I am curranty the Admiral of Alliance INDY on server 61 in STFC.

Mistake number 1 - merging us (server 60) with server 61. You have placed us in an unwinnable situation by joining us with a server where the top alliance is stronger than the top three alliances of the previous server (all in the interest of making new alliances etc. [total BS]).

You then follow this up with mistake #2 and create an environment where challenges are based on territory capture. What this did was allow the dominant alliance (which no other 3 alliances could touch thanks to your BRILLIANT decision to merge the servers) to travel from territory takeover to territory takeover and dominate that takeover and get the points. No other alliance stands a chance in this artificial world that you have forced upon us. All you have done is create an environment where the strong (1 Alliance) get stronger and everyone else is left behind.

I have instructed my alliance to not spend any money on the TC challenges as they are futile. This will go to Discord where I'm sure that it will gain traction.

If you are truly interested in installing some degree of parity in the servers then I suggest that you take the top "X" number of alliances and put them in the same server. Take the next "X" number of alliances and put them in the next server. Wash-Rinse-Repeat. As a programmer, I know that the algorithm for this is VERY simple and would eleveate the majority of your problems.

Until then, thanks again for ruining my stress relief in the game.

BitsBear - Admiral, Alliance INDY server 61

[thorn elm]

called it, i'm still positive this was what they wanted so people would have to spend to recover for the overflow. oh, hi raider

[austere reef]

Can I update Territory 2.0 from an earlier post:
when a big fight occurred, the game utterly broke. Not like 3 yrs ago when battle animations would last a legitimate 2-3 minutes. Tonight, the game crashed on me every 10-12 seconds.

I had more time spent loading the game than I had playing the game in the last 40-ish minutes. A concept that could be fun is undercut in this manner.

At least 50 crashes.

[urban fable]

my ships would be en route, and automatically destroy, BEFORE loading into the system (i was probably in, but the lag was not letting that happen) - warping to already dead. systems would still stop, with animations including not being able to click on a territory to even get in there. Its amazing changing events to be more "engaging" but not upgrade or fix your background resources on the system end. Fix your infrastructure, before coming up with "innovative" game changers, that rely on fixing your back-end first. Many others in my alliance had the same issue, and God help those who were on phones....

[obtuse totem]

Cannot get to first tier of SYNDICATE SMS unless your timer resets within 2 hours of dailly reset. Your milestones have change.

[opaque radish]

We have EXACTLY the same situation on 69 and it is beyond frustrating.

[thorn elm]

😛 guess who (context for anyone else - i just added the tag)

[opaque radish]

Lmao, well that makes sense!!

[brazen prism]

This is simply irritating. First Scopely changes, more destroying the PvP triangle with the most unbalanced PvP crew ever in the game. Now Scopely does simultaneous, large-scale TC events... what do you get?... 1 word is enough, you can interpret it yourself

[sacred stream]

@tacit obsidian This whole Territory Bp is a stupid thing for me and 90% of the server this is the last straw and the first was when we were merged with one of the most powerful alliances to exist

[trail zenith]

What the? Territory event store drastically nerfed?

[thorn elm]

actual 90% nerf, yes (:D)

[sacred stream]

Scopely being scopely

[abstract echo]

but thats the point to compete if it was easy everyone would do it

[nova sierra]

Force you to spend if you want to progress faster...

[steep vessel]

I'm not really looking forward to this month anymore. That emulsion event store pack was incredible and very generous for Scopely, but I didn't buy any of it because there's a currency spend event coming up. And today I look to see my 375k emulsion pack dropped to 18k. I was even going to buy the $99.99 pack of currency just to get really far ahead on my Territory tree.

It's not all bad, because they did provide another iso-emulsion efficiency research that maxes by ops 39, and the particle efficiencies, and all of it has free to play sourcing due to 3* territories and the seasonal pass. But I'm still staring down over 17M emulsion to max my Territory tree, and at 48k/day from max pulls (using 1/2/3* improved refinery)... It'll be another year before that tree is done, and if I had bought a pack and spend currency, half of that tree would have been done today.

[plucky delta]

New Version, new bugs and the old bugs still there 🤣

[nova sierra]

Unless they all purchased the bp and tc season pass in which Scopley are actually winning

[weak fjord]

I only play because of the alliance members, the community keeps the game alive, your content is really off-putting. There isn't a single € left from me.

[tight plover]

#isogate free the iso!!!

[green lark]

Newest game build is shocking. Freezes every 6/7th time I change screens and needs a restart Probably causing server issues if everyone is restarting and pinging the servers on login.

[latent quartz]

1. Can we please get a "mark all messages read" setting in the PN section? It is a bit useless in the mailbox section to be honest.
2. the Missions around the territories and the Trill etc. seem be bit a bit off. I was only able to participate when I reached OPS 25. The missions itself is set for OPS19 and all enemies are 30k and below. Seems a bit off, don't it?
3. Please let us TURN OFF the constant nagging thing for the missions. It is quite annoying to get reminded to update to ops26 when you definitivly cannot because a lot of other buildings are missing!

[queen zinc]

Iphone 14 Pro Max.. 5G or WLan (100k). Yesterday it was nearly unplayable. Everytime stocking, freezing and sometimes you are in war for minutes! Next time you want refresh a mine and that don‘t work, till you start the game new! In takeover matches came weird mistakes notes. Another time you are killed and can‘t klick on your warships and so one!!
Pls get that issues solved! Have to reststart the game several times in 1 hour! You can do better!!

[cosmic field]

#⭐-official-announcements message

I'm finding as 2023 goes on im getting more bored of this game. It's become so unbelievably prescribed, every ark is the same. Here's a new ship you'll have to pay £100 for and a new grind to go with it. What happened to the above road map promising to reduce the daily grind. For all us players not willing to part woth circa £150 each month the game is a just a constant daily grind with regular leadeboards to remind us how insignificant we are to scopely if we aren't willing to pay them money.

Please stop trying to rinse us of money at every opportunity and actually make ships something you can easily work towards. I was so hopeful with the voyager getting bp from refinery, then you've gone right back to your old ways again.

[vale wasp]

Please stop spamming.

[paper sluice]

i posted once, how can that be spamming? And why was it removed? Please advise which rule i infringed. Thanks.

[vale wasp]

The spamming rule, and joining in on a campaign of spam is sufficient.

[paper sluice]

ok, i got it. We reached the point were Feedback is censored, depending on, if scopely likes the feedback or not. Its not your fault, you are just doing a job.
But iam not sure if its preferable for a company, when people and players are forced to use social and other media out of scopelys control instead to transport their message. Have a nice day!

[rich elm]

fresh ops 46 competing against ops 49 in Second Contact Elite ? cause that is fair ... some of these SMS should be same ops level only - even then i would be skewered because an older ops46 would have rare g4s tiered up and hitting higher anyway

[vale wasp]

A half dozen people spamming the same gif is just as bad as one person spamming it many times. This behavior drowns out the messaging from other players and is censorship and quite rude.

[rough belfry]

Math is so hard yall. Like it's nearly impossible to count 1s and 2s of things.

[pearl trail]

Is there any timeline for Android notifications getting restored? The app is currently set to no notifications in the OS.

[paper sluice]

As said, i got it. You got the order to censor Feedback, cause they dont want to see/hear it. 👍 🙈

[vale wasp]

Feel free to write in words your thoughts rather than spamming pics with others.

[rich elm]

but a picture is worth a thousand words - they are just summarizing

[paper sluice]

Will do like many others, but not on this Discord. 😆 👋

[upbeat imp]

Put the research queue BACK. You've now moved the 2nd builder queue that is locked for many. Previously it was the 2 free queues next to each other - building/ research. Stop trying to innovate where it isn't required🙄

[halcyon sedge]

I love it ...... ❤️❤️❤️❤️ more

[tribal bane]

Not even remotely interested in this arc…. It’s terrible

[rough belfry]

Why was this not ran 2 days ago while the Syndicate event was running? Can we please get some basic event synergy?

[rich elm]

not to mention ... 1000 pts per alliance help/contribution ... that's about 1300 help/contributions ?

[maiden gate]

$copley apparently doesn't want anyone to finish the event ....

[rough belfry]

There's also the bit about gaining power where the majority of your points will be gained.

[rich elm]

right, but i would think if they are giving 2 options to finish, both should be achievable, not forced to take the only one path that can actually get you there

[midnight pilot]

Situation normal great idea poor implementation.

Guess engineering screwed pooch as normal up to arc runner again to be mighty mouse.

[mossy sparrow]

The mixture of tabs and folders for the events is so confusing. Everyone is missing events. Which is a real pain for the Freedman meta. Why didn't you start that one with a non-contributing event like today?

[limber mesa]

i don't know what ops you are, but it was easy for me to toss some parsteel and tritanium in the alliance pot.

[slim canyon]

Why did the iso reward for the territory package in event store get drastically reduced? Went from 37.6k to 1,884

[quiet steppe]

Quite possibly the most boring arc yet. Territory and armada crap.

Yet, still major issues with freezing and crashing. Why release lazy content instead of tackling fundamental problems with the game? But, I suppose I can answer my own question.. profit over quality!

[midnight pilot]

Yep none of actual bugs been fixed, patch notes must have unfixed bugs that were easy to fix

[tepid bramble]

Because scopy is a bunch of miserly, greedy, petty capitalists who don’t believe in joy, happiness and player satisfaction. Only diminishing returns and punishment. (Unless you pay)

[slim canyon]

They need change it back, that was a significant drop in rewards. We can get more from a standard iso pull in the refinery. Def not worth using the replicators on the iso now

[nova sierra]

Okay, if several people send a picture, which is good for Scoply, then it's not SPAM. But if several DIFFERENT people send a picture (as far as Scoply's incompetence is concerned), then it's SPAM. Good to know

[weak fjord]

You won't get a single euro, only errors in the game and the content will get worse and worse

[woven sonnet]

What’s with putting in officers everyone has maxed for the season pass for territories?

[delicate wind]

This seems bit silly, why is it that game requires you to get BPs for ships, even if you already built 1. Makes no sense, if you built 1 then you know how to build many more. No logic in it apart from money grab and more grind for players. Think developers should remove this and allow built of infinite ships once you unlocked the BP for 1.

[nova sierra]

@tacit obsidian Scoply should simply lower the limit from 50 to 10 or something like that. And not change the content to 5% from the day before. There were so many people who got millions of ISO... that's a huge advantage 🖖🏻

[dense reef]

They can put armada battle pass in the hole or trash

[sacred stream]

@tacit obsidian I like the Lower decks But I wish there was better sourcing for all the officers while the Battlepass is running especially for us 31> players

[stark lintel]

@tacit obsidian For the love of everything holy, add sliders for every single contribution/donation/redeem. You guys just “revamped” territory and I still have to donate Emitters/Diodes/Rectors 1 chest at a time if I’m doing anything between 1 and 10.
Also, officer redeems could really use a slider. Going through 50k tokens, 100 at a time is far too time consuming.

[cinder thunder]

thank you for turning TC takeovers on it's head. now you have created alliances bent SOLEY on getting points for the TC event and NOT keeping the territories. Several times our alliance attempted to gain a territory only to get beat. which we can deal with. what we can't deal with is that after the TC is taken they drop it to pursue another one. This has stopped several small and med sized alliances from gaining territory. PLEASE FIX THIS

[leaden lintel]

If Scopley wanted territory fights, they're not getting it on S28. Our admirals got together and divided up space before it started. None of the takeovers have been contested at all so far.

[spark acorn]

Bwahah they ran the Tc event and most alliances can't complete it cause the territory timers. Got one done next Tc 5 days away , after Sms ends. Brilliant thinking team Scopely. Also Ban whales from buying packs on SLBS. I'm so dayumm sick of saving for a month or more to compete only to be beaten by a Credit Card!!!! THANKS ASKING FOR A FRIEND.

[rich elm]

was this in replicator - territory ?

This Discord server serves as a digital gathering ground for STFC community members, a space where we engage in thoughtful discussions. However, recent times have seen a shift in the way we converse, with some concerns appearing to be dismissed as derogatory rather than understood as authentic observations of concerning behavior.

In this shared space, we must strive for a more balanced dialogue, where every voice is not just heard but also valued. It's crucial that we distinguish between critical observations that authentically describe concerning behavior and those that are intended solely as insults.

We envision an environment where constructive feedback is paramount, a place where the galaxy of STFC is influenced not just by the company but by the collective wisdom of its dedicated players. Let's ensure that our discussions remain fair, transparent, and focused on enhancing our beloved game while recognizing the importance of discerning between constructive critique and mere insults.

Exclusive footage from the NEW Territory event.

[neat pier]

If Scopely are serious about reducing the amount of required in game time I would just like to point out that;
Reducing game time is not adding extra battle passes.
Resetting territories every 3 months does not take any time away, it dictates the times that people need to be online on a mobile game (normally during a work day).
Adding extra loops actually adds game time.
People need jobs to pay for the packs that you hope they will buy. Maybe allow them time to do those jobs.

[scarlet nova]

Does anyone else struggle claiming the officer key from the web store on IOS safari, or is it just me?

[neat pier]

I have to close all apps on my phone and then it will let me access the web store eventually, as long as I retry it enough times before giving up.

[stark lintel]

Sometimes I have to reload or close and restart the browser 10 times before I can get it to let me load the store items. 😆

[civic jay]

Discovery warp ranges need to be adjusted to account for the Deep space systems.

[grizzled citrus]

You just need bigger ships. they going to adjust the other ships ranges?

[halcyon kayak]

Anyone have an idea how much the Gilded Pickle will cost from the territory refinery

[cosmic knoll]

it will cost a 2 finger salute, but scopely will sell you 1 middle finger for 99.99

[acoustic cloud]

Oh great, some events that I can get done even with all the lag!

Just kidding, eat a bag of packs

[limber mesa]

discovery is meant to be eternally relevant as a utility ship, like mantis, cerritos, and titan-A.
its long-term utility is to override warp stats(range, speed, venom status) of other ships at a price.
this utility is pointless if it can't reach the systems you're active in.

[grizzled citrus]

All ships eventually become pointless as you grow

[limber steeple]

The territory capture start times run from 9a to 6p Pacific. With a little luck I can time my break tomorrow and get my first 20 mins of TC time done for the "week long" event. Our top 5 alliance won't have a 2* system until next week so that leaves me hoping we have enough currency and desire remaining (and that it aligns with my free time) for me to get in the other 4 hours of TC time on Sunday (spoiler: my Sunday's aren't that free.) Scopely seems intent on making this the Year of Disengagement. At this rate I won't even need to quit b/c there won't be anything left that I can participate in. I'll just collect my 10 min chests and watch people call armadas that I can't join 💩

[grizzled citrus]

It's utility yes to a point, my Voyager operates in 470 space so we should expect a disco to have a range of that if not higher by your standards

[edgy harness]

They want you to spend so much time in this game you don’t have time for others. That way you aren’t spending on other games, and the costs of this one seem more affordable and worthwhile.

They spend more on psychologists and game theory consultants than coding.

[limber mesa]

technically, that's the point of discovery.
to go anywhere instantly.
it takes a really long time to build up the ability to summon with it, it really shouldn't be losing relevancy before you even unlock its full potential.

[grizzled citrus]

200 is a decent range when you max range research and about 220 when you have range officers

[wise kelp]

I tried to voyager scan the rogue hitting our alliance. It didn’t work because he’s too high a lvl for me. Please change that so an alliance level tactic, like finding someone base coords, can be used at all levels of an alliance. Thanks

[limber mesa]

how did it not work?
i don't want to waste resources, but the scan button is there and working for me when i click on a ship outside my pvp range.

[wise kelp]

The button wasn’t present. I selected a ship that was in my PvP range and it was there, then switched back to the rogue target and it wasn’t an option anymore. I had just reset my game but didn’t clear localized data. Are you saying you’ve seen it available for players outside PvP range? I’d be ok if it was a one off glitch

[narrow pivot]

Cool TC garbage event. Are you going to fix the display issue on the iPhone 15? Do you even know about it?

[wise kelp]

Last I saw from OldMan, who I believe is a dev, they are working on it. They don’t know if the fix will be in the next patch, but it is in the works

[limber mesa]

could he have been in a state making him impossible to target for other reasons?
warping out, or in battle for example?

[nova sierra]

This goal is already a very high, what you should achieve... It takes months until you can achieve this.

[wise kelp]

Nah, he was stationary. He hit our armada and was waiting for people to return. So I had free reign of him. And no mantis state either. But good to know states may impact. I’ll keep that in mind and try to voyager tag him again for science

[limber mesa]

mantis shouldn't affect it.

[neon breach]

Why do officers remain on a ship that is repairing at the station..they should be able to be re assigned to a ship that is clear@to leave the station

[limber mesa]

who do you think is repairing that ship?
at least, that's what the prompt says when you try to reassign them from a different location.

[silk charm]

I've got the button for players under my ops range, at least.

[neon breach]

Not the captain of the ship…..the engineers and technicians…

[scarlet nova]

That’s what I have to do! 😅

[gleaming urchin]

<@&509690795536941056> could you check the Voyager field training. The general training is fine, just one milestone is quite heavy. I forecast my process and it would take me 3 YEARS to complete the field training. Does not look fair for an mobile game.

[umbral thistle]

we all have a real treat coming to us on the 7th milestone of the TC battlepass! ... a whole 8 trial bells!

[tepid bramble]

Try years

[spark acorn]

Deleting this useless server as it was put here with the intention of having you dump all your frustrations with Scopley here instead of filling their inbox with tickets.. Their little handlers do a good job of muting u here and nothing changes. Later waste of Space!

[tight plover]

pretty sure that is 'working as intended' it gives the illusion of getting a prime for free when in reality the amount of time and effort you need to complete it is unreasonably high. I have been pounding away at it since it came out and I am only at 13 or of 100 lol

[unique swan]

@tacit obsidian absolutely fantastic job. Wasting tc resources to join the tc takeover yet limited to the amount of ships in the system and can’t get in.
Magnificent management from scoplay there : 11/10 👏

[pearl trail]

Is there any update on the disabled notifications for Android? It's been days.

[pure gust]

I'm not much liking the new Battlepass/Events/Event Store screen arrangement.
Having to remember to flip back and forth from one to another just to make sure I didn't forget to do something, didn't miss an event I could score in and didn't skip an award is a pain.
With Dailies, Refineries and Factions each day, one more complication ISNT an improvement no matter what the people in your IT department say.
Give them a cookie and some grape juice and tell them to change things back please.

[cosmic knoll]

thats a fix, dont undo it

[pearl trail]

So you don't do armadas? Don't care if you get raided?

[cosmic knoll]

well no. i earn 24hrs of shield in 20 minutes of playing. and just catch whatever armadas are on when im on. the game fits around my life, not the other way around.

[nova sierra]

Scopely: "we disabled Neelix working with Tal because testing showed it would be game breaking for pve"
Also Scopely: releases Freeman, which completely breaks pvp

[pearl trail]

Then you can disable notifications in the OS. Don't tell those who want to know what's happening that we should just chill.

[rich elm]

The rewards in all of the MSs in that BP are just bad ... really bad

[median hornet]

pretty telling when the best part of the paid rewards is like 6 days of Syndicate XP, although that Rutherford frame is noice. I think a full Monaveen unlock getting added is about the only thing that could make me excited about the TC BP.

[lone musk]

FYI, absolutely unnecessary nerfing the Territory Pack in the event store. Where was the announcement that the packs were changing?

[obtuse parcel]

Is there going to be a TC Season 1 Pass Calendar of events like there has been for BattlePass? @tacit obsidian <@&509691205798592532>

[nimble pawn]

unbelievable rewards

[tight plover]

act now for these amazing once in a lifetime rewards! don't miss out! You too could be the proud owner of a few Kerla shards!

[queen osprey]

My god. Fix. The. Crashes.

[tribal osprey]

@royal solar hey scopely, what's wrong with you? The game gets worse from update to update. The territory battles are unplayable because the game crashes every 1.5 minutes. In addition, new content is constantly being added to distract from the problems of the previous updates. The game and your behavior are just annoying and make me want to spend my time doing other things.

[cerulean sandal]

So this morning yet another smaller alliance had bigs push into their TC. Wipe everybody out so they can fight each other to win it. Now simply watching, it's clear they've long had their TC battle pass score completed. Then what do they do, dump the territory. It's rare that I have seen the level of toxicity that this is generating.

[buoyant bronze]

I totally agree. I'm not a whale but I have spent quite a bit of money each month for most of my time playing this game, which is nearly 5 years. However last month's pvp breaking officers, the constant cash grab, ever increasing new material and grind, bugs not addressed, game lag, to name a few things has changed my approach. I spent no money on the game last month and will not spend any this month. I will only recommence spending if and when Scopely starts to address these issues.

[lilac oar]

FYI scopley. Kamin 78 is having an issue in YARDA. Not one single hostile in the system all seem to be frozen outside the boundary.

[ocean steppe]

@wispy rover are you here?

[wispy rover]

How may I be of assistance, Commander? I think a different channel would be more appropriate to converse in.

[ocean steppe]

I was just confirming your existence.

[gritty kiln]

When you gonna put a cap on high levels taking out low levels, I mean level 60's taking out 40's, the game is in dire need of an overhaul...

[tired lion]

Does any1 having problem with ipad 7th generation or IOS..Seems that game is not full compatible with IOS anymore?

[idle hazel]

The game crashes A LOT for me when I use my iPad. A lot and a lot.

[tired lion]

@tacit obsidian Same for me..Looks like game will quit us soon🤣🤣🤣

[gentle shale]

@tacit obsidian … w/ Monaveen sourcing locked to 3 territories (thus generally unable for 99% (?) of players) supplanting the ISS Jellyfish generators … is there a spot/process where the ISS Jellyfish can/will be sourced?

I think the Monaveen isn’t an appealing single purpose ship, with unappealing hostiles (seriously autogrind to avoid dropping shields?), so I’m not overly concerned about never getting that.

So ISS Jellyfish - WANT to get final BPs. Monaveen 🥱.

[kind minnow]

monaveen is a auto grind beast ;p also the research is quite delicious

[brittle marten]

From over 1m iso to. 59.4k. secretly Nerfed rewards. Wont be buying the Replicator Pack, saved me $100+. Thanks Scopely 😎

[lone musk]

I realised after I'd bought the pack in the event store that it had been nerfed. Not happy is an understatement 🙃

[gentle shale]

Maybe for certain autogrind events but neither events nor research are worth it for $100 or jumping alliances to whoever is holding the 3* systems and pray I can get the BPs

[nova sierra]

Well... at OPS 46, Mona Comic Ship brings you 120 to 180 billion Tritanium on T4. In the month... nice additional earnings. The research is good. Oh yes, and all those who had bought it right away had an event where you got 1200 Dolamid particles for free. So for me it was worth it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[gentle shale]

Yeah.

So I have this bad habit: breathing.

My wife is ready to cure me of that habit if I buy more than a BattlePass.

[nova sierra]

🤣

[surreal otter]

The Fish generators haven't been touched.

[acoustic cloud]

it only takes months if you carefully manage your voyager tier.
My current timeline (with 100% focus on it) would be something like 8.5 years.

it's fake candy behind a glass wall

[surreal mica]

Yet another day of asking @tacit obsidian to reply to my DM that I was directed to send by a mod and by @royal solar... le sigh

[zinc terrace]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar how many people bought event store currency and dumped it all into many pulls of the territory dabo pull? Having a comp chest of only a single free pull at that level doesn’t come close to closing the gap that some people got. A better solution would be to just restore the event store the way it was and let people have at it.

[livid pasture]

It’s bad, buts it’s definitely not 99% bad. Top 3 alliances will get it, so 3*80 players, out of a generous 750 on our server. So 2/3 won’t be able to get it. Take into account who is actually 40+ and likely 50% of our server will have access (about 20 month old server).

[potent shard]

@tacit obsidian @vale wasp @weak marten it is extremely frustrating that they put fixing the Field Training in the back burner. 2 months and still no response on any timeframe to getting it done. The amount of officer parts being withheld is hindering my progress.

[buoyant vine]

Lag continues to be awful in territory. Spinning wheels. Difficult to target. Ghost Ships. Etc

[dense reef]

I think this 2nd battle pass sucks ! Scopely just wanting $$$

[zinc swan]

I'll be honest, this month certainly isn't perfect. But I think this arguably one of the best arcfall since ex borg. We have new content that is impactful and accessible to f2p (though a lot is for higher ops), so far solid events, and while the bugs/lag hasn't been perfect, I think it's generally been smoother than previous months.

Still much room for improvement, but I do consider this a step in the right direction. Also I think the communication this month has been much better

[stiff marsh]

Lag was terrible during Apex and a TC this evening.I lost 3 ships while shutting down to clear things. Then still lag when repairing

[tepid bramble]

Yeah, the single was a slap in the face. But then again, that is all scopy really is any good at, slapping us in the face.

[drifting karma]

no moderators are replying, no devs are replying - do they even actually exist? like holy snap, Scopely - listen to your players - many are fed up!!!

[rose nacelle]

Where is this less grind you lied to us about in the roadmap, Scopely??

[vale wasp]

This is a place for feedback, not chatting, and I've read all of your messages. They were only addressed to Eco, and if that's who you wanted to respond, then I was going to give you what you wanted. If you want to chat with others, I'd recommend #🌌-galaxy-chat

[ornate turtle]

The TC season stinks for all us that don't have ships that are above 10,000,00. All the big ships do is take territory as a free pass to kill all. They don't even have to join the takeover and they can pick ships off as they choose. This makes all low players feel small and forgettable. Great job.

[potent shard]

3 hours I posted and no response, what does that say? They only care about fixing the stuff that you have to pay for. F2P can suck it right devs?

[opaque marten]

I agree with jaydog. It Suxxxxxxxx! As an Admiral in a top 10 - mid size - alliance we are just getting hammered. I’m completely ready to have my alliance forget TC all together. This is worse that the TC wars.

Just because it was not your intent to have board stability doesn’t mean you have to make it chaos! All this does is put more space between the bigs and the littles.

Shameful!

[boreal ferry]

The addition of 5 star nodes to some territory would be great… if it’d be done at all thoughtfully. In a 3 system territory why not change it to one system of 3/4/5 instead of just nerfing the alpha system?

[hoary lynx]

Get rid of the battlepass tab and put both battlepasses with the events. Lots of folks are going to miss the BP event for the day because they don’t see it with the other events.

[junior oracle]

Can't even log in via phone or pc. Stuck at downloading game state

[wispy rover]

Try toggling your airplane mode on and off while it is stuck, or reboot your modem.

[sacred garden]

When’s the vault

[potent shard]

22 Pike shards I can't get because scopley don't think fixing Field Training is important.

[white glacier]

This is what they have done

[boreal ferry]

Really? We’re capturing corva right now and it doesn’t look that way. Edit: just checked and gamma/beta are all still 3 star, then 3x5* in alpha and 7*4star

[topaz citrus]

our 4* system in makala only had 1 4* node and now that people have mined the 3* in that system its gone to 4 star so far

[boreal ferry]

Cheers mate, makes waaaaay more sense… so being scopely I assumed the worst 😄

[nova sierra]

This game is glitching after the update. Come on scopely do better smdh

[cinder citrus]

When do we get Neelix & Seven in here?!!!

[cosmic knoll]

never going to happen, once soething is set, it doesnt change for YEARS, they still have not fixed their FRAUD in shop! why not cast your eyes on the 99.99 BP unlock, and tell me what fraud? Ill save you time. They claim tana is 100% guaranteed out of the block, yet the site says 40% .... the greyed out officer in the officers unlocked menu says 40%. if i were to buy a 99.99 pack for 9.99 and claim it was a bug, you wouldnt stop at that excuse, please stop commiting fraud

[thorny wing]

Constant restarts, lag, bugs, ..game has become unplayable

[slow charm]

so one monaveen bp a week for 200 weeks or 3.8 years, why put it in at all?

[solemn gazelle]

a little more diversity wouldn' t hurt

[stray scaffold]

The new lowerdeck missions are missing for me, from what I understand you get them from the holodeck but they are not there for me, I’m lvl 20…I’ve patched, sent tickets etc and nothing. Am I missing somthing?

[vale wasp]

One is 25+, the other is 34+.

[limber crown]

Rapidly losing interest in Fleet Command on laptop and on my phone. Game is so full of bloat that the phone version is now over 5gb (was around 1gb a couple of years ago). I get around 7 or 8 minutes of stable gameplay on the phone before it starts rubberbanding or zooming in or our when swiping left or right, or the intense lag that was meant to have been fixed when the servers were merged, or the constant glitches like battleships being caught in constant fight for over three minutes... Unless you spend big money on the packs, progression in the game is severely hampered, as the only way to get shards for ships is to buy them in the £100 packs. But, Scopely won't fix anything as long as there are saps in the game willing to spend out on the big packs... It's all about the money.

[flint elm]

I feel the compensation chest for iso emulsion was a bit of a double down kicking for lower ops. They got less when the event store chests were changed and the compensation chests gave higher compensation to higher ops. Seriously it was lower ops who missed out more. That compensation should have been inverted.

[devout quiver]

so because the tc battle pass event counts points by the minute, if you are fighting for a tc, adn the fight is intense, you die unless ya a whale and get no points, Thanks scoply

[nova sierra]

The Monaveen bps bug is further justification for not spending anything else on this game. Hire some competent coders please and iron out the bugs. Zoom bug is getting worse /much more regular. Voyager mining nodes still busted. Stuck in battle ships, error messages popping up at random... this game is broken!

[pulsar jewel]

The game is only broken if you want to play it. It's fine if you stick to only the shop.

[edgy harness]

Small cheap cloaking ships are your friend

[fading lark]

I think the Battle Pass tab might be less efficient for the way I play. I love the rewards but I’d rather see it back with all of the other events. Anyone else?

[cosmic knoll]

i dont think cloaked ships actually score

[torpid kelp]

Can you hire a programmer who can do his job? It feels like it gets worse with every update. Yes, I know that there is only 1 BP per week for the maneuvers. Everyone can calculate for themselves how long it takes to build them, I don't want to give any spoilers here 😂

[edgy harness]

Yes, they do. There’s absolutely no reason why they wouldn’t.

[flat moss]

Monaveen service gives no blueprints. Kinda feels like something which you should have checked, given it’s a new feature and alliances have spent a week working to unlock it.

[limber mesa]

the t'ana unlock purchase is very confusing.
by putting in a whole chain of credit redeems i can't tell how many shards a purchase gives.
why can't you just offer a straight purchase?

[vast nest]

So that you buy more when you end up short

[flint elm]

Create a paid for problem. Then sell a solution.

[lament pawn]

Am I the only one who is missing BP from store?

[limber mesa]

it's not working then.
i checked it out because i was considering spending money on t'ana, but with this mess i'm not going to risk it.

[vast nest]

Sorry you aren't the intended customer

[buoyant vine]

Info button on the Dr. T'Ana recruit chest? Seems a no brainer that should be a part of SOP for any chest release. 😓

I have no idea how much value is in a redeem. Not participating ATM.

[nova sierra]

The fact you even considered participating in this, is the bigger problem...

[tropic sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/missed-missed-the-point-missing-the-point-gif-15504611 LOL, so I called it, here in the official Discord... Basically , during the "Iso-Gate" recent scandal , some players basically hit the lotto if they refined the new ISO chest before it got ninja nerfed by Scopley. So, understandably, players complain "Hey, this isn't fair... some players who refined fast enough, hit the lotto on iso basically". Scopleys solution: "Send iso compensation to EVERYONE, including the people who already hit the lotto" \

[zinc swan]

Who knows, maybe each recruit gives 200 shards of even odds and scopely is being sneakily generous =3

[humble mango]

Afaik Google and Apple requires them to disclose odds for paid loot boxes.

[mortal helm]

Probably because the EU does

[manic yarrow]

Scopely, you are actually censoring your own ship name. Check “Mona,” please.

[rich cypress]

At this point we are shouting into the void. No one at Scopely cares. Dr T’tana heroic sourcing is a scam .
Arc gets F- just for this despicable design - not to mention the monaveen debacle. Nice 5th anniversary. Really makes your players feel valued.

[nova sierra]

Correct , Scopely doesnt care about anything than the $ being put in.. If the $ > outrage all is fine

[wooden spire]

Adjusting, preparing, activating. Adjusting, preparing, activating. Spinning circles, more spinning circles. Slowest game I’ve ever played, and I had a Commodore 16 in my childhood.

[safe mango]

What's the point in having scout ships, "carrying faction messages", if they are all empty? Players are a joke for you?

[nova drum]

It seems more and more that you don't care about the community and just want to win more. After the update we have to spend even more raw materials and materials than before the update. Now level 1 syndicates are no longer even possible without money. The reward chests have also been changed because you probably won't be able to do it right right away. Make a beta server with testers before you trash us and then have to apologize.

[safe mango]

Scratch that as a question, I can now be certain about that! Scopelly doesn't care about the player's, only about profit!

[ripe thicket]

@tacit obsidian @royal solar let me get this straight. The Dr T'ana recuirt is an all or nothing deal? It takes 4800 of her tokens to unlock her and the sms pays out a max of 5000.

Why? What is the extra 200 for? It just adds to our items collection....more lag.

And if it is an all or nothing deal, what is the point of misleading players into thinking any other tier will get them anything?

As it stands now, with what is out, this is gross incompetence or outright duplicity. Make it a single tier, all or nothing. Many players are going to spend months of saved up resources for nothing. They are being mislead.

This is bad, very very bad on part. You all know this and could communicate it but you are refusing to do so. Shame on you all.

[ripe thicket]

They say in the deception it is a chance for messages. No guarentes.

I am more angry at them making T'ana an all or nothing recuirt but making it appear it is different with tiers you get. And then you have left over tokens for what?

[cyan portal]

The tokens aren't the same...you use the sms tokens for recruit pulls for the real tokens

[exotic wave]

do we know how many monaveen bps you're supposed to get from the 3* service, is it 1 per day, or 1 per week? (when not bugged that is!)

[undone stag]

Currently it's none per week 😐

[edgy harness]

Zero

[maiden garnet]

I don’t understand this. These tokens (SENIOR MEDICAL RECRUIT TOKEN) can’t be use on the “Unlock Dr T’Ana” option in the Recruit Tab which need DR. T’ANA UNLOCK TOKEN. No officers shards but this weird token that will give me a bunch of other officer shards and a couple of the right tokens but not a direct full unlock Dr T’Ana.

This is so confusing. I spent a lot of materials here and I am realizing I may have been scammed. Another thing: why do you want us to click on so many chests and tabs to get a single reward?! Can’t things be more straight forward?

Also, Why is G3 UC and G4 UC the same score?

[edgy harness]

It’s a three step rubes game

[wind shell]

Not only that, but the Dr. T'Ana event is material only instead of material and directives

[kind minnow]

they just took out the slb.. the SMS was never with directives either

[wind shell]

Ooops, I stand corrected in that case...at least we got an SLB that provides the tier up material for FTech which is plentiful instead of the protomatter

[maiden garnet]

The max amount of SENIOR MEDICAL RECRUIT TOKENS we get is 5000x on the materials event. The “Recruit the Chief Medical Off” on the recruit tab gives 100x DR TANA UNLOCK TOKENs per chest, which can give us a total of 2000x of those tokens, but the full unlock requires 4,800. Is this correct?

[safe mango]

At the moment Im a f2p... barely can afford battle pass, and the developers don't care about anything but your wallet.

[vale wasp]

2k is guaranteed, 4k is max. I've seen someone's pulls, and it suggests that max might be extremely likely, since they managed that 4k. Still, that's short of a full unlock.

[crystal crow]

Can you please up the bp count for the Monaveen claim to 10 bps a week or at the very least up to 5

[maiden garnet]

So no one can full unlock Dr Tana this weekend unless we buy the tokens?

[vale wasp]

I don't know enough of outside sourcing. But you almost certainly can't get it from this SMS alone, it would require too much luck.

[edgy harness]

And also if you don’t buy the $99 pack, most likely pointless.

[vale wasp]

If I were in a position to play for this SMS, I would. There are signs that point to a possible unlock or side value.
The exchanges in the officer section run for 15d more.
They've run split SLB auctions last month that "might" be a new thing so another portion of tokens/shards could be available in the next 2 weeks.
I'd get close to unlocking Ransom.

But yes, if guaranteed f2p unlock is necessary, then this will be insufficient, and skipping might be your move.

[kind minnow]

kinda hard to press that buy button or participate if we have no guaranteed schedule of events for the time ahead.. investing in this leaves us at the risk of ending up with a bunch of tokens that we cant exchange,,

[ripe thicket]

This is a other example of bad management that is incompetence or purposefully misleading. This is unacceptable. No way should this be tolerated

[edgy harness]

It’s the whole point. Because of the continuous and absolute lack of communication you are forced up against a heavy FOMO moment and they’ll of course get more than enough people to buy 1-3 packs to solve their fears, and we’ll get more of this in the future because of it.

It’s predatory manipulation in a very refined form.

[vale wasp]

There is no misleading. Either this is enough information for you to make a move, or you hold back. You don't have to submit to FOMO. Requiring perfect information, or trying to get everything, is the wrong move. They have shown no indication that those will be allowed f2p or even p2p.

[kind minnow]

after breaking the PVP meta with isolytic dmg and CAROL.. then hiding a possible counter to this meta behind a pay wall .. id call that a straight attempt at creating fomo.. especially since its not uncertain if theres any other sourcing for her through another slb with the current schedule. dont take us for fools. we know exactly what is going on here

[pearl glacier]

The token icons are identical. That's being intentionally misleading in the hopes someone doesn't realize it and only finds out after spending.

[edgy harness]

Nope, look super close. The star inside is every so slightly different with fewer spokes on it.

[keen star]

Monaven sourcing is a swing and a miss scopes, aside from being broken. Bad. Do better.

[pearl glacier]

So the inside is barely different to avoid breaking the law. Okay lol. It's close enough on a small phone screen that there is no functional difference. Point is that it's intentionally misleading and trying to say that there is no intent to mislead is kind of insulting.

[vale wasp]

I'm not trying to pull one over on you. I've laid out the information for you to decide what you want to do.

They are generating FOMO, it is the business model.
They provide insufficient information to generate a perfect plan.
There is no guarantee of a f2p unlock, it's extremely possible that a pack purchase is necessary if you want her this month on top of finishing this heroic.
If you want her f2p, then taking the risk for today's event is necessary and you have to hope they run another event for sourcing. I highly doubt a full unlock is possible without this event's sourcing.

Dr. Tana Unlock Tokens are not the same as Sr. Medical Recruit Tokens? WTF Scopely!!! I finished the SMS, I oughta be able to unlock Dr. Tana.

[kind minnow]

the business model is to drive players away instead of attracting them to this game atm 😉

[cosmic knoll]

last arc was no full unlock, this arc would certainly follow the same path, and every arc until lower decks part 2 finishes @lime scroll , but i have stated in previous days about scopelys fraud, they push the boundry every fraud attempt, first the 'bug' that shows tana 100%, next 2 tokens that look the same except their size or insides. Dont tell me you can notice the difference on a phone screen, because im obviously blind and cannot ....

[opaque blaze]

scopely could have at least made the tokens used look different so that you did not believe the ones from the sms could be used in the unlock. it isn't until you click on them, do you see the different descriptions? or am I missing a big difference in the tokens? never mind. I see a difference in the little "star" in the center. didn't show up until I enlarged it. 😬

[drifting karma]

i don't see the difference between the two tokens...do you??

[opaque blaze]

if you look at the ring around the dot in the inner circle, one has "points" the other just little nubs. I didn't see it until it was magnified and cropped so I could post the pictures in question.

[drifting karma]

ah, holy snap! that's stupidly misleading

[hidden night]

So Monaveen service is broke I'm hearing? Surprise surprise lol

Come for the game, stay for the memes.

[torpid kelp]

just need 590k points and cry around here, what's wrong with you? If you have to reach 34 million points or more you can cry

[maiden garnet]

You are in a different level than I am, obviously. No one cares if you need to reach 34 million. The comment is about the amount of work to get these tokens and still not get a full unlock.

[maiden garnet]

I agree with you, but I did got a full unlock of all Voyager Officers, and also Lower Decks Part 1 officers. I have all of them. I believe last arc had full unlocks

[torpid kelp]

you're crying here that for 590k which is about 5904 uc (as an example) you can't get a full officer unlock. are you serious? If we look at all the past arcs, if you donated 1 or 2 place in Ress you could get a full activation of the respective officer. So stop crying here and just as an idea, it could be that we have 3 fundraising events this month (like in the previous arcs). I still can't figure out that you only need 5904 uc to complete this............wtf

[drifting karma]

yer comment adds nothing to the conversation, and yer tone is highly condescending. value add comments would be appreciated.

[torpid kelp]

Just because you don't understand the meaning of my statement or don't want to understand it, it still remains a fact.

[fierce spruce]

@vale wasp Hello, any intel on when they are going to fix the 'no base hits reports' glitch?

[sullen matrix]

knowing scopely, its gonna take a few arcs .. maybe more
maybe 2027

[drifting karma]

yer opinion is not fact. yer words are rude, and they don't develop the conversation at all. use a modicum of respect! and don't you dare presume what i do or don't understand. thanks.

[torpid kelp]

I am responsible for what I say and not what you think you understand. you're talking about respect and you're not able to show me that, see screenshot, and it's and remains a fact that you're level 30 (yes, that's an assumption on my part) player here crying around and wanting everything for free, last month and the month before that and that The month before and the month before that you still had to take 1st or 2nd place in order to fully unlock an officer
to get, sometimes in 2nd place you couldn't unlock the new officer. If you still don't understand my words and can't see the right connections from them, then seek help, don't write yourself off... I believe in you

[unborn halo]

isnt the issue that you cannot unlock at all? spend 34 mil to do the whole sms, no unlock, if i spent the 34 mil to complete the sms, if there was an SLB, i would have won it probably and not only got the full unlock from the slb, but another 50%-100% of the next tier as well

[wind shell]

YES! Can we at least get the option to get partial unlocks with all the tokens will get, instead of just getting tokens that just sit around in inventory

[unborn halo]

yeah, ive still got the tokens from the last two times they did this...

[nova sierra]

Has scopely addressed this at all?

[quartz ingot]

@onyx aurora hi there

[serene jewel]

Monaveen needs an alternate sourcing for it's bps. I get they want to push territory but the ISS Jellyfish and particularly Sarcophagus even have alt sourcing for them, and the Sarcophagus has a territory ship ability and still has alt sourcing to it
