So the EBL, this donation event is the biggest joke... even if you buy the package from the cat you can't get the tokens together to get the officer completely... so you would have to get other packages as well .. that's the very last thing... are the players just milking cows? Same with the territorial scramble... 10 pieces of the new particles per day? are you serious ? and for that we should beat each other in the face with the territories? So if you don't want the players to run away from you, then think again and quickly

You misspelled "deliberately"
ofc not, i told then several days ago that they are commiting fraud as you can actually pay for direct shards, but they dont care. Just needs one of the lawyers that play the game to file a suit. falls under misrepresentation of goods or 'services' (where service refers to access of game content according to the eula they try to use to block refunds). Laywers tell me im wrong?
this is a DM from a friend who left the game
@tacit obsidian
@royal solar
Is it possible to request at least some kind of response from scopely regarding the dissatisfaction with the scenario of the current event epic officer? , it’s just that sometimes the answer comes very quickly that we read and hear the players and here you are, everyone, a box of compensation for the emulsion, but now a day has passed and if you read all the channels or one negative or one laugh at the scopely 🤷🤦😂👎
I’m sure this has been posted a million times but is this a joke? This better not end up as one blueprint a week. Complete and utter disgrace
Poor description. Recruit event is actually a levelling up event
Scopely has made mistakes many times before, but NEVER before have I ever looked at a release and had the feeling that nobody at Scopely cares.... Not until this arc.
This month gives an impression that it was created as an afterthought, with zero respect, care, or thought put into making and releasing it. Nothing but a filler.
It really makes me wonder if scopely isn't going to put effort into the game, why should I?
Agreed . Game used to be fun . Reevaluating if I quit
(I might need to take this advice too)
Can someone, anyone please give us an update on the Field Training fix. Over 2 months and not a single peep. I have 22 Pike shards sitting untouchable and it is hindering my game play immensely. @weak marten @vale wasp @tacit obsidian
They're wanting players to spend, but so many things are broken i.e. Billups, monaveen tt bps, zoom bug... is this game actually just one big scam?
Hello ...
anybody @rigid vapor there? I don't know if you are aware but there might be some dissatisfied customers in here due to
a) new Bugs in the game (missing Monaven button, system error messages, ...)
b) old bugs in the game (just an example ... how about fixing the ship xp bar AFTER a level up ... it's just broken since over a year)
c) arc design (wohoo RNG Dabo with more but different RNG Tokens in SMS ... wtf really)
Tribbleshoot does not react, nor any announcement or any statement of the Community Manager s ... what's up with you @rigid vapor? @tacit obsidian @royal solar ?!?
Only the content creators seem to be active ... and even they are annoyed...
I even think that Ferengis are more reactive towards customer complaints even though their greed for money is comparable to what this game has developed to!
There's no update to give. It's not a priority fix. IDK when they're gonna get around to it
As usual maybe….never? 🤷🏼♂️
Day after the rapture is a response that seemingly goes hand in hand with Scopely fix dates more and more
It's not for lack of trying/bringing it up. Promise you that
We getting the same response time with Monaveen bps in territory? (Out of your hands of course!)
Not on you and shouldn’t be a content creators responsibility. The game design team should be more on top of things and more invested in a working product. What’s sad is you can go to any number of other game discords and see the clear difference in communication and professional pride in the development and support team.
Just a quick grab example of what communication and follow through can look like.
That right there shows they don't give a crap about players just money. But if people quit there will be no money. Field Training is supposed to help the young ones so that they can stay playing and possibly spend. But if they gonna treat them like they are nothing then I will spend nothing.
Well, until that happens (and it still isn't as the game has yet to notice a drop off in active players/accounts) you're probably right. A lot of these issues/bugs willcontinue to fallt hrough the cracks.
think the game had that for a while with mergers being a thing. players drop every arc launch. their accounts are still active .. since they get handed over to other. and scopely doesnt enforce tos cause that would most likely unearth a player loss.
This is one of the things I try to explain to players that they don't understand. Attrition in these types of games is normal. Mergers are normal. However, there are more level 19-29 players now than 3 months. (also the number of level 60s has got from 420->600+ in the same time frame). yes players leave due to frustration/game issues, but one of Scopely's biggest focuses is on new user acqusition.
Players don't realize the amount of new folks joining and new servers being created regularly. The number of daily players has still yet to take a real dip, and it's not because of mergers or players still being listed as active. Scopely actually archives many of these accounts. (they just ran the script again here recently).
Could they Archive all of TC? Asking for a friend 😂
I'd be real curious to see if attrition starts to rise in the 35 to 41ish range relative to a couple years ago.
Mostly based on the amount of new lööps and claims that keep being added. Keep seeing more and more vocal complaints about both of those things. Feel it meself too
That one I can't answer, as I don't have the numbers to what the game was at 2-4 years ago. So, no clue. I personally am tired/struggling with all the new loops. I was actually talking to someone from Scopely yesterday about new events/ships/etc. that could come out in the future and I was adamant that not only do I not have enough docks (and having paid for the +2) but for me to pick up any new loop I'd have to dump another one. Simply only so much time in the day and a lot share my frusrtation.
BUT, if players are waiting for attrition and people leaving the game to be the reason Scopely starts fixing things you're going to be waiting a very long time. It's why I try to get people to speak up more
I suspect only time will tell but I wonder whether all these newer players will have the same sustained spending as some of the high 50s I’ve seen leave recently in our server.
I feel ya on that. I am doing the bare minimum on pretty much all of my lööps now. Likely to be dropping down to 1 chest syndicate soon too.(though I understand scopely never really intended that chest to be pulled everyday).
Claims take like 10 to 15 minutes per day on mobile. Even the daily mission claims take about 40 seconds per day lol. Never seen a game with so much claim bloat. And the 10 to 15 minute claim lööp pressures one to be on at the same time everyday too😂
Yea, Savvy bought them this year. Did a video on it. Scopely operates autonomously though. Savvy is just collecting checks + added equity to their portfolio.
😮 i had no clue, cuz i just don't do that kinda research.
Let's keep the subject on Star Trek.
Sure, some people do. I'm not saying all people will feel the same. This is just me thinking out loud about my feelings. 👍🏻
Oh wow, the irony here... Conversations about human equality, understanding diversity and wealth acquisition as an outmoded driving force in human lives are the foundation of the entire premise of Star Trek. Gene's whole vision right there, in a nutshell. My post could not have been more about Star Trek. But you chose to censor it.
It took wow six years of churn to peak and start falling after they exhausted the potential new player pool. This game will never reach 100m players churned through. Time and new players is going to run out probably sooner rather than later.
it wasn't about "staying on topic"...it was about removing a damning bit of info!
Mm, and if that had been the justification you could at least respect it for being honest. I'm old and wise enough now to take screenshots of everything I post. Also, I've been a mod in various forms over the years, and a wise mod knows it's unwise to censor conscientious people. They're always the ones with not only a backup of the thing you tried to hide, but the resolve to now start shouting loudly about it, and in a lot more places.
i totally respect the information and am very happy i was able to absorb the info before it got ... censored.
I'm sorry I missed it.
It was just about how the parent company is shaded as all get out and not worth giving money to.
True facts, then. No wonder it was silenced.
also, if absolutely no pvp-play crosses any line [including into cyberbullying], why prevent player with a shield over their base from attacking other players?
devs-administered "ceasefire", even, does not stop pvp-play.
You can report verbal abuse. And the shields are there to protect you from being hit.
All that ceasefire does is stop base raiding. It's not a real ceasefire.
Verbal abuse in the game isn't tolerated.
That said, someone can attack you over, and over, and over on a daily basis (miners, warships, base), and that's valid game play. The game has no pvp rules. Although, some servers have a group of alliances that do enforce player based pvp rules, but no one is obligated to follow them.
ceasefire shield does incentivise maintaining a cease-fire.
and the ceasefire shield is better than a peace shield because it doesn't drop when you attack a texas drone ship.
thank you for not being helpful. ☺️
i'm just happy that my servermates are letting me get at least one unit off of a node before they hit me, at this point.
SOon..... 😛
11 weeks to get the ship? Seriously? This months grading just dropped from F- to several grades below that.
my general feedback is 1 star in play store and I invite all to do the same
Yeah, but then some stooge from the company makes every attempt to negate what you say regarding the rating and with Apple it gave me zero opportunity to respond back.
This isolyytic damage against hostile is simply a horrible idea.
What recent additions have been a good idea? Everything since at least starbases has been getting progressively worse.
Can we please get some inventory cleanup? At a bare minimum, remove the artifact shards from the materials inventory and put them somewhere else
Just some filters would be nice, like “Spendable”, “Refinable” and “Directives”
Thanks for fixing the monaveen refinery, works like a charm…
Lacking this basic level of game design shows there’s 0 QA
Wow Scopely. T'ana events are an actual scam. You made the tokens from the Recruit heroic sms DECEPTIVELY SIMILAR to the Unlock T'ana tokens. Just to make it worse, you highlight the token in large image on the Recruit tab, but not on the Unlock Tab, where the slight difference would have been most noticable. I smell a lawsuit coming around the corner, and that one would be well deserved.
We already knew long ago that they have no QA whatsoever but it’s sad to see repeated examples
Nothing count. Not a single Event count points.
sure ☺️
Hey, do you think it's okay at Scopely that the ISO damage is so extremely high and the much more important question is why you can buy it so high. This ability should be significantly weakened because many players no longer feel like building or buying ships. If someone at level 50 is attacked by someone at the same level and takes little or no damage, the ability is way too strong! I know you like this pay to win mechanic, but this is going a bit too far. Make it so that this ability is subject to a cooldown and you can only use the ISO damage ability once every few hours. Similar to ship abilities
How do I get rare 4* gas to upgrade my level 39 buildings to level 40, when I can't refine it until level 43+?
$ame way $copely expects you to get everything el$e
events & ship scrapping (mayflower scraps for a nice chunk of gas from 34 onwards)
Scrap a ship. 🍻
So i dont get it how come@some@ppl are already using the whip artifact if it only available from@battle pass territory and you cant buy territory tokens
Have you ever even tried to hire people with brains?
<@&509690795536941056> well, I guess yall just have to admit the game is now pay to play since f2p won't ever be able to place in the top 10 anymore. #ThanksScopely
how do you currently aquire the whip? I dont even see it in game on any battle pass, store or refinery
@royal solar @tacit obsidian maybe can help with this get advertise with 100 % but actually it is 40%
Whip is in pc cash shop or webstore.
@royal solar in regards to this announcement #⭐-official-announcements message
Do scopley actually test anything before selling things? I mean don't get me wrong it's a win win for people who bought it but this just goes to show scopley devs just don't test things. Some things change (content) but others stay the same (bugs, non testing)
Not having a QA department means savings on the back end. We're their testers.
You sure? I'm on PC right now and I dont see it anywhere. ops 39 if that matters
Both FTs are available right now, yes.
I see, well not in my webstore or in PC APP store. Non existant
it was!
Oddly it's in my webstore but not my android phone app
amalgam refinery T9 10 chest pull got me only 1750 amalgam refinery tokens. That seems impossibly low, is it paying normal for other people?
The usual $copely mess…
to be honest, they already violate EU laws with their packs. Nobody cares
I haven’t seen the whip on pc store or any app and i was purchasing since the events started .
Not forgetting their promotion of bullying,racism,intimidation. If your a whale you can buy their eye blinkers
I'm getting sick and tired of My base being attacked and not having a battlelog to know who attacked. This is not a small bug. This needs to be fixed now!
theres nothing wrong with bullying and intimidation as long as its within the game. I would argue that in a pvp focused game there is no such thing as bullying.
I would like to see some of the people here play eve online. They would go sit in a corner crying.
Glad that what gets you off watching others suffer. Scopely funded
Fix the lag!!! Scopely your costing of me dead ships.
it is a webstore only thing
Scopely: We need a hailing frequency prime that reduces the cooldown by 25%.
@royal solar you just do not make people spend money or attract them on spending and then you change the context to lower the the gain of their spending effort. It is call fraud and will be documenting this, at least in the app stores. what scopely is doing is illegal. Either leave it like it was marketed in the whole game economy context either return the money immediately.
So, you want the whip made worse?
Yeah, I'm trying to understand this response. It sounds like it's staying as is.
It's like you read the first sentence and missed the rest of it
It is, exactly how it happened two years ago with the dvor mining research
Plz fox the battle logs for base attacks.👻
I still want a hailing freqency prime.
Can we assume Jan. 2 is the next TC reset? If so that is 12 weeks of ownership.
Want to make sure we are on a 12-wk calendar on these since it appears we need 12 weeks of Mona pulls to get the ship FTP.
Sure... if you make an effort, you can compete against someone who mines 100 million Latinum in the hour. 👀🤪
@royal solar @tacit obsidian I would like to buy the Ferengi whip, but it is definitely not available in the shop. 👀 At least if I buy through Apple. I will not connect my credit card to Scoply's own shop. Then you just don't want my money🫣
@nova sierra PC store
This is a mobile app. If I wanted to use the PC, I would find a hundred times better games. The graphics are miserable, I don't use my PC for red and blue triangles 🤣
Website store... If it helps, scopely don't see your card details, xsolla do. You can also use PayPal or similar through it (probably even apple pay for the extra level of removal)
Anyway way that they would consider to change the "destroy the machine" event to include hirogen hostiles?
No, no chance. I buy through Apple or I don't buy. I understand the idea of Scoply with your own webstore... save fees. That's okay and understandable. But I'm not ready for that. Then I'll just give my money to other games
fix one thing break another - can’t even send ships to a territory capture
It does take Google pay. Don't know about apple but probably does.
Anyone else having issues with battle reports?
Most people, I believe.
u can still play.. just cant compete anymore.
So. PvP and Mining are now both exclusively pay2win?
Fun times. 😂
electro whip is too broken.
i shouldn't be able to score anywhere near this high.
Yes, Apple Pay works.
Apple tax.
would guess something's shifted your region? but, no idea why
Not directly. But many Websites have variable pricing. Using an apple device often causes them to price you higher. Saw it with hotel and flight bookings where someone on an iPhone saw a higher price than me on android.
If you’re going to make such claims it would be nice to provide a source
hello
The price went up around easter, its scopely greed mate. The shills come up with excuses like its xsolla, its the app store, its the inflation, its tax. A quick google proves them all wrong. With all the whales leaving, they using every dirty trick in the book to squeeze money out of players now. Notice the latest fraud? promoting tana as 100% for money, yet everywhere else shows the correct value of officer skill as 40%. Not even mentioned the tokens 🤡 .
unknown mate, i just know the situation in the uk. If youre in the usa, i know different states have different taxes, but they should be applied after sale, but who knows?
i own the whip, and i say this is broken and needs fixing.
i should not be able to carry my alliance singlehandedly past major alliances.
this FT hurts latinum rush, and makes the contributions of anyone who doesn't have it seem meaningless and insignificant.
so nothing really changed from before it was released 🙂 - lat rush was kind of messed up for a long time, i am seeing the exact same people on places 1-3. every. week. ... they probably dont even need the dvor parts anymore at this point
Not true. I am used to seeing f2p/freemium players competing in the top 10.
I someone that needs D'Vor parts, Latinum Rush is such a tease while even if I were to get the parts from it...those parts wouldn't make a dent
I’ve never placed top 3 before, and with one $50 purchase I placed first (by over double) and have enough lat to last weeks (I’d been out before).
things have changed.
2nd place and beyond have very decent scores, what you'd expect to see from someone who put in the effort.
I'd score like 700m with my optimized setup up of 2x feesha, full ferengi horizon, and some G4 token space mining.
the score i got this time was with me losing several hours to falling asleep, being busy for a few hours, and not really using my 2nd feesha or horizon.
it went from "you can beat me if you're lucky or prepared" to "you'd need a week to catch up to me."
This might imbalance it for a while, but it prevents a g5 whale from carrying with g5 lucrative. I’m in the top alliance, and in two different time periods the top player could single-handedly beat us. This evens it out, I scored 20-25% of his ops 60 score as an ops46.
I'm ops 41.
i should not be able to outscore 2 of the top 5 alliances with my solo score, or reach over 1/3rds of the top alliance's score.
You’re on a newer server. This is still far from an old server and not a high population one either.
This must be the most boring arc yet where are all the events, most take less than 5 mins to complete daily events, the tt events don’t seem to run back to back and the last one involved sitting still and doing nothing during a tt capture
Change trailblazers to take into account kills. There is no sitting in an active fighting tc.
From feedback I read territory capture is a fail.
Getting real tired of "Please check your internet connection" boots.
@tacit obsidian Getting tired of crashing and stucking game.Obviously not compatible with IOS😡😡😡
@royal solar thanks for announcing the forbidden tech updates. can you please advocate for a compensation pack for the materials many of us lost or wasted attempting the upgrades so far? I’ve personally lost more than twice the amount in a single forbidden tech upgrade pack. Very frustrating experience having an upgrade/tier up fail 2, 3, 4 times in a row.
you can buy the compensation pack for 99,99€
But honestly, why compensate something when you knew ahead of the chances. It was your decision to go for it anyway.
You are responsible for your actions, not scopely
Because they admitted it was broken/unfair/wrong by making the significant changes they did. Anyone who didn’t attempt upgrades and stockpiled mats now has an unfair advantage against those who participated earlier.
Voyager field training for Trade Commerce Insignia needs a DEEP slash in points need or massive increase in points earned per trade in. If(big IF) you do 1 exchange a day that is 1000 days of exchanges... this is supposed to be field training not a multi year investment
Wish they would have never created this iso damage b.s. Never thought scopely could make pvp worse until they created all of this 💩.
Why I can’t see the Ferengi FT? It was in the shop 2 days ago, but disappeared
Just a reminder of the maintenance that is happening on:
- Oktober 2023 21:00
There will be server downtime lasting about an hour and a half
LLAP What's 9 a.m. or 9 p.m.?
how fast does it make the Feesha?
The event has always been P2W. Just because it’s a different P2W mechanic people now care? lol. Besides, the rewards aren’t enough to care about anyways. 🤷🏻♂️
verify = very
went from 185k/hour(25minutes per 84k node) to 7.5m/hour(40 seconds per 84k node)
How long does it usually take for the email to go out to the sweepstakes winner?
Unless your screen name was one of those, it doesn’t matter. I don’t see how we were even able to join. The whole thing was a sham.
grind assimilated scouts and summon the borg ship - you get more commerce tokens there, 1-2 times a week will suffice
@tacit obsidian FYI, I cant buy the ferangi whip. It is not in app store. Not in PC game store, and not on web browser store
that's not a good use of summon juice until you no longer need biotoxins
@tacit obsidian
This is not a good comp when you want to pull de t'ana shards and all the others for the amount third sms lvl was...
Why do your game always kick the little guys in there balls??
Gotta say I’m pretty unhappy that the recruit box for Doctor T’ana shows 100% to generate state which as it turns out is the max tier ability. (Oddly the below deck ability accurately shows 50%).
I reported this as a bug privately but was denied (implying not a bug) and told to send into feedback so here I am publicly airing. Leaned into a big mat spend event relying on this ability being accurately advertised but left disappointed that it is not. @tacit obsidian @royal solar
It's the way to install new research and officer in the game. It's like dish soap tabs. In the beginning, you only had powder. Now there are tabs with everything new in it - necessary or not.
@ripe thicket sad
frack...another maintenance, didn't see any notice of it
@stark lintel but your dealing with irrational people here
looks at the 1.5 hour maintenance and tries logging back in
Nice maintainance when you have a takeover ahead
They will do it again next year. New damage type garentee incoming
Sooo… our takeover in Adia starts in 2 minutes. Will we get a compensation when the maintenance prevents us from getting points for the Trailblazer event?
Same problem here and I believe in every server for that one alliance owning Adia. We also weren't able to get points with that takeover last week because the event got started after the takeover of Adia
all depends on time zones... US Servers arent even close to starting TCs for another 7 hours~ 😦
and what about anyone that wants to contend it.. they cant
´´There will be server downtime lasting about an hour and a half´´ are you incapable or are you absolutely incapable? I'm asking for a friend.
That's actually typical. As always, there is a lack of communication🤷
We now wait over 2 hours....when can we play again 🤬
This is why maintenance should be restricted to Tuesdays….
Its nice there is a new TC Event, for a Takeover we should be having right now
Hour and a half , maybe in movie time LOL
Maintenance Should be done overnight when 99% of players are sleeping
Insignia is 100 points per so 100 days to finish
I believe they messed up to do the maintenance they announced for yesterday and then wanted to do it today and are now disabling some alliances from scoring for the event.... I'm expecting a compensation chest for the affected players/alliances
Maintenance should be restricted to proper testing first before trialling it out on players
“90 minutes maintenance” ( now we wait more than 2 hours)
Like always Scopely does not care about their players...
Time zones need to be consistent and accurate please.
Scopely could implement a method used in industries like finance where uptime is typically guaranteed 99.9% or similar time.
Updates can be done using versioning so that the act of switching users is little more than an single command, and with multiple parallel processes can be done 1 at a time so transactions are always processed, then only may require a quick user restart
there's no way they'd hit that metric... unless it was guaranteeing 99.9% downtime
It has been down over 2 hours now
It was always planned for today
Yeah but with that maintenance trt wars didn’t work this week and every defending alliance on these hours get an big advantage. Tactical thinking you can now forget…
Seems like I've misread the announcement from yesterday..... However there is a reason why there are no takeovers on Tuesday, and that's because it's maintenance day....
It's time to introduce a "Less incompetence prime" research, please.
This is crap, we had a TO defence now… Hope we get compensation!!!
There is always people awake, I'm in the East Coast of the US our maintenance time is always at 3am est but like me and others are still awake.
Can you imagine the pack price…?
Probably no one told the programmers that they only have 90 minutes this time.
They are probably still writing the bugs to implement for this week
If the devs do maintenance I really quit the game!
never let a dev near some prduction environment
There are only 6 people that work at scopley, give them a break. And 5 have to count the money.
Scopely is simply incompetent and unable to perform server maintenance in the time spent
10 level prime, $99.99 per level. First 5 levels actually increase incompetence
So will the maintenance be over before the next takeover starts? What do you think?
I think they are off duty
The only way to do that would be to have 3 separate maintenance times rather than it all happening at once because of time zones 🤷♀️
next week??? yes
maintenance forever? 1.5 hours were announced, is there an update ?
Call to scopely
1 1/2 h is a joke
Yes, some people may be awake at night but that should be minimal compared to daytime.
I said night time which would be between about 0000 and 0500 local time for each region when it would have minimal impact to the majority.
My server has a very active overnight population
and I doubt that they could make that happen since the different game servers depend on shared resources that likely need to be updated as well (and likely cant be out of sync with any one particular game server -- which is likely why the maintenance always happens on every game server at the same time).
argh: 5 minute slow mode timer 😦
My server we are doing formation armadas at that time
Except they’re separating regions right now?
I guess it is time for Scopely to replace Eco and Bek... they are here to communicate to the community.. but they don't. At least not when it counts and with accurate information.
Lol my server still is pretty active from midnight
It should help when we can have a timeline to think about our attacking/defensing plans…
Attacking and defending against who? .... Scopely and their maintenance plan 🤣
Almost 7GB? 😂
teritory
Can’t wait to see the mods tout the party line about how this wasn’t scopely’s fault. I think we’d all respect it more if we got real feedback, but i don’t expect that.
That's the problem, there is no feedback, why it takes so long
We are currently fixing the fixes that weren't fixed with the last fixes these fixes should fix any remaining fixes that need fixing
Against Scopely may be more productive
except the fixes they dont really care about fixing....
Some EU servers are back.
2 and 1/2 hours and still down for 1 1/2 hour maint, things must not be going so well. @tacit obsidian @royal solar where is the communication?
This is general feedback related to something other than the maintenance window:
I think the store (https://store.startrekfleetcommand.com/) is one of the worst coded sites I've ever encountered. And additionally, for you to "force" players to use it so that you can fullfil some metrics of reporting into a corporate machine is... complete insanity.
If you're to carry on with that PLEASE fix the code so it doesn't on page load attempt to load EVERY item in the store, as most mobile devices that are older than 2 years cannot keep up with how you've written that code.
Gaiku 👋🏼
If you're going to keep maintenance running far longer than expected the absolute least you can do is get someone to inform the player base, this is really bad customer service.
Ok maintenance is running late
Customer service and Scopely doesn't exist. It's merely a transactional relationship.
Is the new game 😂😂😂😂
even a transactional relationship needs some service level agreement
Not that I'm suggesting anything but well, here's something that works 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Game is up.
3 hours and counting, double the published estimate. What’s most frustrating is the complete radio silence
133 isnt
I think this is exactly the point - we all get that maintenance runs over sometimes but the communication is really poor. Where is the push notification from the app saying “sorry we hope to be back soon” or a discord announcement at the very least. People react much better when they are kept informed
Can you plug the servers back in now please. 💩
Game is online now. Really this time.
Meanwhile on EU servers, Adia takeover has been and gone and now Otima has started. Whoever thought 90 minutes leeway would be enough was sadly mistaken. This is why maintenance should be restricted to Tuesdays.
@royal solar @tacit obsidian you guys ok? I assume you've not been taken hostage? stuck on the loo due to excessive diarrhea after some dodgy Scopely canteen food? where's all the comms about maintenance taking more than double the time that was communicated?
33 is not up yet
yep... 133 is up
Eu is starting to come back online
EU is online. Sorry for US.
So US is only an hour from now 😂🤦♂️
I'm curious about the senseless excuse and the ridiculous compensatory gift
It's your equipments fault not theirs
So the ships in the takeover during the maintenance didn't score for the event
Same on 134
patching and rollback I'd assume
Hmmm... still down. @tacit obsidian could be get an update?
Hour and a half, maybe they have their own time. Like dog years, hour and a half is really 9. 🤬
90 minutes - understandable… 3 hours later, and still down… so much for setting a low bar
3.5 hrs & counting with no communication. Pathetic!!
@tacit obsidian so why did the update make us all revert to level 1 again? what kind of update is this???
Can’t even login to scopely id wtf
<@&509691205798592532> the longest hour and a half . It's 6:40 EST and still no game.
@tacit obsidian @royal solar why am I back to level 1?! What kind of crack jack operation you guys running?
Uther you are reset to level 1 when you are able to log in
That happened to us on eu121 last month. We were told to play through the tutorial until you can access settings…then log in with your Scopely ID
Keeps failing
That isn’t working at the moment all logins are failing but work on store
My scopy id keeps failing (though I was able to log into the store as well
There is, they happily take your money and offer recycled content in return.
US servers are still down
93 was online for 10 minutes now back on Maintenance :/
Same with 80
57 just went back down
28 was up but unstable. Now back down
13 went down again
Note to self… 90 minutes maintenance is really indefinite but tell anyone . Just sad. 76 still down
Wow -- Brokely taking twice the time for maintenance screws it up so bad that they need to put it back into maintenance. Who called that one ??? Everyone!
😡😡😡 really
90 minutes was ambitiously short. I applaud them for trying. Even if their work detonated late and powerfully.
21 worked for 10mins then offline...how is keeping servers up such a challenge?
you speaketh the truth sir!
Server 16 just crashed. Had been out of maintenance and went back in.
You're so lucky 🤣
At least they are keeping us updated on what’s happening, NOT.
Same on server 20 game was up then booted us back to maintenance
Okay, What it the Holy Living H E Double Hockey Sticks did you all break now?
Up for what 10 minutes or so and did you realized you gave the players another decent chest you needed to rip from us or something? 🤣
Needless to say, the maintenance is going poorly. Brace yourselves... The M'benga shard is coming.
I'm not sure what I expected from the group of mentally delinquent chimpanzees they use to write their code, but it wasn't this.
I expect double compensation chests!
2 X 0 = 0 🙂 😦
Keeping expectations low
Bold of you to even have expectations.
Scopppely please open the servers for the us please
communicate, communicate, communicate, Someone is awake breaking the system, why don't you get them to send a quick msg on discord in game annoucements,,,, oh right tech support can't figure it out
They were open for about 20 minutes.
lot of our guys couldnt log into their game, it was having them start a new one
Have they tried turning it off and back on yet. That normally work lol
A Status update would be great...
We don’t need no stinking update. Lol
In $copely we trust
@tacit obsidian @royal solar What about some communication about WTF is going on??
Again this week no Trailblazer points for Adia Takeover - that smells like a compensation chest (a real one please, not some 10k dilli, 2 15mins speedups and a mbenga shard 😌)
So, 90 minute maintenance, unless it didn't start until 2:00 AM Hawaii time it has been way under bill for time!
Working on 5 hours of an hour and a half maintenance. Thanks @tacit obsidian
What’s up with server 13?
we did get like a 10 minitue window to play lol got ships repaired and out to mine lol
When is scopely going to show the Invictus refits for Vi'Dar. I just need 1 more.
want some feedback? a little communication goes a long way to calming your playerbase.....just saying.
At the bottom of my Discord window, it says “slow mode is enabled”. I’m wondering if they’re talking about the Scopely programmers…
😂
This new TC arc is looking like the initial launch of incursion!
The inconsistencies for down time is similar to Scopley's Customer Service; Disappointing
How is it still down?! Whats this even for? We got no notice...
<@&509691205798592532> could we get an update please?
😡😡😡
Help help help I can't spend moneys on ships and mats
Someone at scopely say SOMETHING
The update is, nobody has told us anything yet
I'm on Server 096 - i've got a player who says they are on, but i still get the maintenance retry later dialog box....
Over 2 hour later, maintenance still going…….
Quick y’all , let’s all head over to the web store and buy some packs!! 🤙🏼
It’s actually a 2nd Maintenance. Something really must have been jacked up in the first maintenance
Web store is down too.
Maintenance is still ongoing because they realized there was a problem when people logged in and were all ops level 1
Pack prices going up to USD 149.99 to pay for what they broke
Should of been back up by now they said 1 hr and a half
Thanks for the clear communication on the maintenance
It cost us our territory
Like second breakfast 😂🤣😂
https://tenor.com/view/math-calculate-confusing-figure-out-gif-6237717
Someone needs to go back to grade school and retake all the math courses
Scopely's alliance should be called down
How do you change off of slow motion mode?
@tacit obsidian Feedback is....... your communication skills are lacking.
Maintenance is now over 5 hours and the game is not back up. I am probably s crewed for today as this is when I have time for the game.
How about an update Scopley?
@earnest fjord the update is broken that's your update
Finally an update about the update
As you posted that, one popped up
They have spoken
Sounds like it’s going to be a while still
Yah same here...ugh
Because they’re Trolls, meaning they can’t kick high enough to reach the Big Guys!
Moral of this story: Grow Quickly or become the recipient of Karate Kung Foo, Nuts You Kick! 😬
How about a compensation for TC Trailblazer as my territory were up defense during maintenance?
It is delayed because they thought we were due for a lame incompetence gift.
The update was.. we're still under maintenance 🤣 😂 🤣 😂
Like the way you've kept us in the loop the past 4 hours?
If you're not 007 you don't need to know
It's all top secret😳
Hope the technical issue was the last 4 years of lag 🤞
Wow, trying to fix something? Usually when you break the game you leave it as an undocumented feature.
For Those who have had an Territory Defense and could not participate due to Server Maintenance, there should be a Compensation chest for the Season pass....
To be fair, it was down for 90 minutes. and another 90, and another 90.........
If the game isn’t back in a few minutes I will be unable to finish some events which expire at 11am chicago time
Have we not bought you enough Porches, yachts and mansions?
So you broke the game through back end maintenance? Thanks. I hope you realize there needs to be compensation. For this
Good stuff with the memes and GIFs everyone! Keep it up
This is ridiculous.
I imagine they'll give us 10 refined 3* ore
Communication team is a 8a-5p est job
??
damn gifs not working too
I still can't get on the game.........🤨
i bet the thing they are fixing is price packs, sense thats the only thing that gets "fixed" nowadays
It’s been two hours now.
Scopely/Digit.... you have one job... give STFC over to a reputable developer.
Somebody consult chatgpt! 🤣
If this was their pay servers they already have that S fixed.
chatgpt: Why are you people still playing this 💩?
server extinction event
Lol <insert recycled test your code quote here>
ATTENTION!!! If you had a restart to ops 1, when you log in and try to revert to your previous account SLOWLY READ WHAT THE MENUS SAY!!! Choose NO. Otherwise you will overwrite your previous info!
Sat at territory defence for full time with 4 ships no points what is going on???
Bro, you got scopelyed
The next 3 months we get this nonsense every week? One or two weeks will be fine.. more no 😞 make different type of PvP events, (no raiding!, that is boring)
If this doesn’t show you that all they wanted to do was paywall new tc content, this should slap you in the face like a rancid salmon to help get the point across.
True. At some point they will run out of names to even call it.
don't know why it's so difficult for Scopely to make enjoyable PVE & PVE events. It doesn't have to be that difficult. I also understand that it is not always possible and successful
Frustration spending always outweighs fun spending.
Fix the damn game. Can get on but can't claim anything from anywhere in game.
Literally go up to the official announcements channel
I wonder how long this game will be in beta testing? 🤣
Until they revert it to Alpha
This is the Failure To Launch ARC... just a pile of 💩.
it's like Monsters Inc when they thought screams gave more energy than laughter
We had two players have their accounts wiped on Server 95 during maintenance. Scopely needs to address people losing their account data.
They have been freed from this game
They will most likely need to raise a ticket to get that sorted
Is it safe to log back into the game?
I really hate this new interface with a new tab for Events! You should have left it as it was, don’t need 3 tabs, plus it doesn’t show icon on battle pass tab to let you know you went to next step, unless you open tab, so it makes for forgetting you hit a milestone and could possibly make you not collect and loose prize.
What's the best way? Is it really better to have 50 Cards side by side?
As safe as it ever is?
you would think that before you rolled out an update, you'd do the proper QA testing to make sure something wasn't going to go boom...
https://tenor.com/view/finger-guns-michael-scott-steve-carell-the-office-pew-gif-14552925 All those who enter the game....shall be shot!
I have had seven relocations pulls and got Garak 7 times. The odds are ridiculous
Why aren’t Monaveen bps in EVERY T3 zone? I don’t understand. Not even the Jellyfish is that bad.
I’ve never Seen 50 cards side by side but , but a icon on the tab when you open events tab would help I believe, kinda like this and like you have done when you open refineries. Just when you open events you know there something there
I am IOS, there is no longer any way for me to send in a help ticket. It has been like this for months. I have investigated every avenue. Or so I think
It would be awesome if the game would not just shut down. This happens on both PC and Android.
You can always send in a ticket via email.
#👽-how-to-contact-support
Thank you, will be doing that later. LOL Slowmode on.
I had hoped that lag might get better week two, since you could monitor what happened week one and adjust, but alas, nothing has changed.
When attempting to do a territory capture the system doesn't load anything, no ships, no nodes, no nothing. When it finally does load it takes 2 to 3 minutes to acknowledge a button press of either saying to move the ship to a location or attack another ship. So 10 minutes of the 30 minute battle is a "blank" system so nothing to do besides try to reload. and about half the remaining 20 minutes are my ships just sitting there doing nothing even if I told them to do something. Such engaging mechanics there.
This maintenance means that half the time I try to log in, it hangs and has to be reset. Every time I try to claim an event reward it hangs and has to be reset. Just general gameplay works for anywhere between 30 seconds to 10 minutes (maybe not that long) before the game hangs and has to be reset.
I've logged in and had no alliance territory ownership and so was unable to mine iso. I've logged in, first thing moved a miner off a node, and the game full crashed.
This is on Android. On my PC it was mildly better. But, prior to this maintenance I don't think PC ever (maybe rarely) fully crashed from a hung session. PC fully crashed/went unresponsive three times on me this morning. Once when collecting am event, once when trying to refine crystal, once when just killing hostiles.
Fix the game and stop selling us crap. This is the fifth time this arc I have pulled a chest from the event store only to have it lock the game up on me and crash. I come back and my event store currency was used, but of couse I never got to open the chest to see what (if anything) I got. Not way to check if I got Scopleyed on it. Not a great experience when that happens.
This is crap and fix your game!!!!!
Please withdraw all heroic pay events until you fix the game. This is just disgusting
Why is bek and eco hiding? Whats wrong can’t face the music?
Proposal for new events:
"Error pingpong"
Gain points when handling error messages and other failures.
1point for error messages without further influences.
10points for error messages forcing the app to reload.
15points for error messages leading to game freeze.
25 for infinite loading time screens.
10k points for 1h screentime without any error message or game freeze.
You know it is illegal to sell anything that is not fit for purpose and anyone that has paid can claim a refund?
Also, changing how officers work after the fact is bait-n-switch… also illegal (at least in the US)
I think our messages should be pinned and highlighted before any purchase
@tacit obsidian @royal solar whatever scopelys maintenance was this morning absolutely ruined the game for me and my wife. Neither of us can log on, and when we do all we get is scanning rings of doom and nothing loads.
Wouldn’t matter if you could log on. I log on but the maintenance broke the game were it’s unplayable. Ships can’t be recalled, combat won’t take place, cloaking won’t work so can’t finish that daily. Because combat won’t work can’t complete events or missions or dailies or allow you to get other things you want done. Surprised I’m even able to collect things. The pvp and Cerritos events and daily combat goals though are completely screwed and off the table for me to do. Clearing localization does nothing rebooting device dies nothing. So much for 5 yrs hard work and over $2,000 invested in this game all just to go down the toilet for scopley screw up. This is why drinking and coding not a good idea guess someone spilled their beer in the server again
something that sucks, though, is that i can't have Bones as Captain with Cadet McCoy [or TNG Crusher] and Jaylah on the bridge and never again have to worry about hostiles. 🤔
so there are some skills that don't work verbatim, unfortunately.
My one concern is these pvp events. There doesn't seem to be a logical thought process here. They are randomly dumped in without any real objective than to frustrate most on the server except the whales.. If you want to shrink the player base, keep this up. ( And keep breaking the game with your updates) my whole alliance is throwing up shields and going away until it's over...
No way to see how many shards of a FC you have anymore
@tacit obsidian We need a better way to be able to complete the TC Battle Pass. Currently due work schedules and the way TCs are organized most working people miss a lot of the participation due to work/ RL obligations. We need a better way to score in these TC events than having ships being present in a TC for 1 minute. If we do continue this model can please have the points increased from 120 a minute to something that actually makes sense?
Man I'm looking around I only saw one pvp event.
@tacit obsidian
Why all the maintenance when the game still lags out every 12 seconds.
STABILITY STABILITY STABILITY
There's hours of and waiting, and clicking and waiting.
I spend more time today waiting on loading screens that I do engaging in content.
All the maintenance did was break the game to unplayable. I haven’t been able to play all day and putting tickets in does absolutely nothing just like tbeir motto of clear the localization restart your device bs nothing changes still got ship that’s unable to be recalled and still can’t go hunting anything weither it’s red hostile ships or player ships since battle will not engage
"Peek game"
If you're trying to tell us that the game has peaked, and you guys are all done and shutting it down - I mean message received @tacit obsidian but they spelled peak wrong.
It’s interesting how they claim they identified the issues and fixed them and opened all us servers , yet all the issues are still there and they fixed nothing in fact all they did was break the game. I play on iOS and the entire combat features on my game don’t work. I try to attack and nothing happens, try to be attacked nothing happens, try to destroy a miner by attacking and the attack button doesn’t even shout. Yet scopley has the nerve to say they fixed the game ? Fixed this what you call fixed?!!! If breaking the game is fixing it then yes .
They are busy recording another self congratulatory video about how good scopley is and how good the arc is and what a great idea all this is, and telling us how more new officers will make our lives better whilst they watch the game burn around them 🤣
Much of my interest in this game is the characters... the ships come second.
I consistently played about 1-3 hours with several check ins each day.
But the Lower Decks crew feels like a very large drop in quality due to the 2d billboard nature.
some days I forget this game exists now. Please stop releasing 2d characters. 3d Variations would be far more inspirational.
It's past time we had an exchange so we get something from this in particular as you sell us a product that's spitting these out daily
it would be nice to have an option to convert them the emblems to build up the court building, at the cost of it slowing down acquisition of the rare FTs once you hit 25 with the building...
Selling Prime Discovery range rather than updating the loop for F2P after so long sums up perfectly the way this game is going 😡
I'll show you in 4 minutes 🤦🏻♂️
wait what? is that a thing? 👀
i don't see it on stfc.space
Multiple alliance friends are either unable to log in or those that can, game is incredibly laggy. So many players still have not had their accounts restored and show ops 1. You "fixed" back end issues but still major problems within the game
Boy o boy . Dopely has outdone themselves with maintenance. Worse than before ! Dumb dumbs
@tacit obsidian Sourcing for the Salvager Feesha Refit when please?!?!!? It's not even available from the store and not seen it in an event store in forever. Rather frustrating for anyone that wants to unlock it.
Could you guys be any more tone deaf, greedy, and ignorant? Did the whales cry so much about not being able to wreck people? Who knows. Things like these, they hurt your business in the long term. Well done 👍
A bold defense means the players is actively defending against a player. This prime is absolute garbage. You are literally idiots catering to a vip club.
Whatever. You can educate ignorance but you cannot educate away stupidity
Yeah, at least Rom you could counter with Kras, this will make any type of engagement in incursions to be a waste of time and effort. You want to kill player engagement, THIS IS HOW YOU KILL IT! (This, plus Freeman G5 epic = shield up and play something else)
At this point it’s obvious Scopely is trying to milk money from you guys and kill this game.
Uughhh there still a slow mode ….. mods fix that ….. no fun to wait…. And for 5 mins smh 🤦♂️
You aren't in the channel you think you are, feedback always has a 5min timer
I guess Scopely intentionally removed the base hit battle logs so you couldn’t see that you were being screwed.
Probably a new prime too. $100 to see base incoming battle logs.
I hope scopely devs have a great day…. I also typed this and my last comment using my middle fingers only. Just fyi
Does anybody know what’s wrong with the Borg solo armada spawns?
Ohh oops 😅
How many times am I going to have to reset the game this mornings???????
@tacit obsidian why are hostiles missing from Hyrolaw in S44? Just my ship and nothing else. Is it a S44 thing? My phone thing? Or do I need to reboot for the 10th time?
Missions Creators, please make the ships you have to kill at the bottom end of the system kill scale not the top of it 🙂
Sigh stuck at 76% cannot load both on PC n mobile
Did the amalgam refinery get worse? I did the research to open 5 chests at a time, and at first it would give me 9-12k when I opened 5. Lately it's been less than 4k every time and this morning it was 2k. 2k for 5 chests. What happened?
A nice territory buff to have would be a territory automated defense system. Fires at non allied ships when they enter your territory.
To quote a friend: “we need to mitigate the pvp gap, not make it worse!” This is hot garbage purely designed to make it impossible for low spenders to defend with Kras. Once again, Scopely punishes smart players who have taken the time to learn the game in favor of big-spenders. You all make me sick.
S: Oh - we enabled a crew that makes base raiding nearly impossible.
$: Just sell some packs that allow the spenders to get around the problem. 
#fixthegame
Typical Scopely BS.
This is a major issue I’ve seen more than three people on Server 95 have their accounts wiped and support isn’t helpful in helping people resolve the issue.
Oceans really didn’t make base raiding impossible just expensive for whales. This new prime makes base defense impossible for us small fries.
I havent played on mac in a bit. Made me laugh out loud that the bonus 24 hr chest is 40 lat - omg. this sums up the ridiculous scaling issues in game and they fact that scopley can not keep up with the pace of the game or scale rewards in any meaningful way [ look at daily events ]. there are just so so many things wrong with this game now. I wake up 15 minutes early to collect my dailies every morning. The last 2 days I have not finished before I need to wake the kids because its so, so many actions and the game crashes on fetch - do I need to wake up 30 min early 🤣
Ascension and quarterly neutral territories are the worst ideas every. I dont' know what you were trying to do Scopely but what it's caused is for server bullies to be even bigger bullies. Those with deep pockets are suddenly lvl 50 destroying everyone else every chance they get. All this is doing is encouraging the little guy to quit the game completely
Another Epic Officer made redundant and now useless. In other words another one for an Away Team specialist crew to join the others 👍
Well done Devs...smart you all are.
Can't say anything bad about you lot so pat yourselves on each others backs again.
so defend with pon also ..
Yeah, this Disco warp range pack is silly
Soooooo another clever Dev initiative. 4 days of Armada to get shards for a now defunct PvP crew thanks to Freeman and co.
your opponents can equip all of their ships with freeman ?
This prime addition could potentially be the most unbalanced prime ever released for PVP/Base Raiding. This prime throws away every single defensive crew setup in the game. All at once it takes away any chance of a lower OPS player surviving or even damaging someone higher ops then them.
Part of what made this game at least semi enjoyable for me is the fact that money didn't always win over game knowledge. That with the right crews you could defend against some pretty big ships and punish people who didn't do there research or have proper crew setups. This prime takes away any remote sense of skill or knowledge in this game and just makes it completely play to win.
It destroys literally dozens of officer skills all at once and throws them away. It will not matter what crews or ships you use. Someone being able to just hit you two rounds in a row for free is going to destroy the majority of what you have. Kras will not save you, Pon will not save you, nothing will stop these first 2 hits from coming through. No amount of knowledge or preparation will save people from having there base wiped out.
I can almost promise you this was introduced because of high OPS players complaining that people in the mid 40s to low 50s could still defend against there very expensive ships. The new pvp crews already made it difficult to deal with and with this its the final nail in the coffin. I think this might be the prime that finally makes me quit the game.
Before at least you could dent a ship even if you didn't win against it now you will surely lose every time. Seeing them wipe out several key crew skills/captain skills all at once with one prime is just disgusting.
This takes away any chance of people trying to defend against a much larger player.
Why has hostile spawning in Yarda almost stopped?
Punching up and being able to defend yourself against a high ops player? That’s fast becoming a thing of the past. The devs spit on us with the release of each new prime and officer.
Scopely: “Pay up, cash cow! You aren’t spending enough!”
Anyone notice that the cat officers officer ability went from 100% to 40% ?
40% is the starting ability. It had been showing the final (fully promoted) ability
Classic bait and switch 🤦♂️
Anyone else getting lots of spinning when trying to attack or do other commands?
Try clearing localization.
Not all, but Freeman crew is pretty much a dominant set up.
Wow, this has to be one of the trashiest looks for Scopely I've seen to date.
It does also work for lower level players. It changes the dynamic.
But really, I think it's about selling packs.
Except a lower level player getting 2 rounds of free shots against a base with a dderidex docked doesn't do much. The dderidex hitting 2 rounds for free does. It's yet another "here my baby whale you are not allowed to lose because you are terrible at this game and are crewing Kirk-Spock in an ops 60 ship, here buy this prime and you're gonna always win" puts pacifier in the whale mouth
Are 40s lower-level players? And yes, it is all about selling packs
Scopely continues to squeeze our pockets. Heroic armada sms is now only scored by regular directives. This doesn’t encourage me to buy armada packs. It’s actually does the opposite. Hopping I’m not wrong or feels about it.
Expensive event for a low amount of shards for obsolete pvp officers.
Sounds pretty Scopely to me.
Put the blueprints for the Kelvin/Ktinga/Valdore back in!
Surveyor prints are good, but I need those ships next...not more prints for ships I already have!
This is how many times you need to pull 18 Monaveen shards from the refinery to build the ship. One 18-BP pull every 7 days, and since you can’t pull only .11111 times, that means it’ll take 12 weeks to get. Just saying, don’t be jerks; please make it 20 BP’s/pull
I still can't believe they thought 1 round wasn't enough the fact that this can make it so 2 rounds of nothing will happen is insane lol
Absolute crap - pay-to-play
As long as people are right on top of the refresh (it’s two hours shorter than 7 full days) you can do it in fewer than 11 weeks
Yo scopley you ever going to fix the game or do you intend to leave it broken with your huge screw up with the last maintenance that caused more issues and fixed absolutely nothing
What y’all expect, scopley has no since they just see dollar signs they don’t see how they doing things hurts the whole of the game. What happens when whales get tired of waisting money and so bored and fed up with how stfc has become that they move on to better games. There are always new and better games coming out. Some that are on every device from phone to pc to console and the packs for those are better. Get a clue scopley and learn how to fix the game and cater to all players across the board not just on how much you can squeeze out of players.
Who comes up with this stuff? Is Scopely just trying to make the game implode? This is a terrible idea! Just when you thought pvp couldn’t get worse in this game, Scopely says, “hold my beer.”
Or 10 weeks at 18 and 2 at 10
Pon should always be home then
Too bad he’s actually useful in pvp now
This still isn't good. Even without pon proc I could sometimes defeat a g5 rare with 8 docks of full defense setup. Now they're just gonna dunk on me base. No counter. Not an officer. Just a 200 dolla prime. This is I think the worst prime I've seen
Is scopley even going to fix the issues they caused and compensate all who were severely affected by their screw up
Have not seen talk of a comp chest. If you were grossly affected, I'd contact CS.
On top of all the other reasons why this prime is truly terrible, they released it while base raid logs are still bugged! With zero communication that I’ve seen on when they plan to fix it or if it’s even a priority
Dont forget the 6 bps from a mission last month 😅
You assume that officers on defensive side will go the first round. I have a feeling they will be skipped.
Absolutely ridiculous addition, these new primes.
Making a free ship, that has been rolled out quite well suddenly be p2p on higher ops and then the horrendous killing of the pvp with the round delay prime.
Time to rethink buying even a battlepass now. We knew they are after more and more money but this is killing the game now.
Can you please lower the cool down on these to like 6d12hr? The 6day22hr means if you mess up once and forget to collect, it impacts you for weeks...
And back down! I agree, 1 round could be countered, 2 is too much.
@tacit obsidian @royal solar congratulations, prime station delay is the final nail in the Coffin. You have successfully given the whales everything they want.
I know on out server, a couple players, yes, just 2 or 3 controlled all tc through fear and intimidation. A few of us were fighting them and managed to get in tc and they couldn't dislodge us. They complained and complained and YOU removed us and everyone else. You didn't fix takeovers and now they control it all.
They didn't like us getting them guerrilla style...fine, you give them voyager to find our bases. Ok, we can still defend and fight. Especially with strike teams defending bases.
They didn't like strike teams punching up and hurting them, do you made iso and allow 1 volley kills without ANY DAMAGE IN RETURN. It is brutal but Freeman allowed us the same. And we could have 1 big ship tp drop damage.
With a bold, active defense, we could repell whales at our bases. It was a big middle finger to them. The last defense.
With prime station delay, you killed the game. You have given the whales, the bullies, the harassers all they want, and all locked behind a paywall.
There is no counter. There is no defense, there is nothing to do but stay shielded 24/7 and not fight back. That is not fun. I am sick and tired, already, of being raided by miners. Of being cracked by miners. Doesn't matter what ships I have at home, when a maxed 58 faction miner with Freeman hits your base, even with multiple ships home, unless fully staffed, they crack and get a scoop. We are back at the old days of miner cracking.
You are free to do this, that doesn't me I have to play. I will give you a month to fix this, that is my choice. Then I will quit the game or just burn the server and kill everyone and drive more away, that is my choice.
I got to experience the real power of this. A 60 whale, who might have been able to get a scoop once or twice out of 10 was able to get 7 or 8 now. Using a 60 ship to crack and then using Freeman on the amalgam. The iso damage and crits will eat platforms. So unless you can instant repair a couple small ships AND a couple platforms, there is nothing you can do. You HAVE to shield now. Pon is the only possible counter and that is only 40% chance. The game is officially broken and not playable. There is no fun staying shielded 24/7 and not able to fight or pvp or raid or opc or defend in a war and forget tc takeovers.
BROKEN
I will give them a month, maybe 2. Then I will burn the galaxy and just spend my time clearing systems. I will try to push as many players out the game. There is no point of playing any other way.
I might even get this prime just to fly around cracking bases and posting the chords to Galaxy Chat.
did you seriously say that the game is so bad, that you're going to give them more money, and play more? 👀
Is there a bug now which stops you from revealing species 8472 with your voyager?
I said the feature is so broken I would use it to maximum effect. I would just fly around cracking every base that was unshielded and one shot them. yes, it is horrendous, but it will also force them to change the game or people will leave in droves
But you will pay for it... and that's the metric they'll use 🤣
Yeah, gotta go with ol’Zabatiz here. Scopy isn’t going to care that you are griefing. Lots of that going on already. They ONLY care about those dolla dolla bills y’all. They are like the DJ at the “club”. Sqeezy, dirty and you better have someone else walk you to your car.
Rename this game to "Slap in the face". Shame on you.
A rage buy of the primes is exactly what Scopely want 🤦♂️
They are just the latest example of the extreme monetisation of the game that’s been going on in recent arcs. TBH, like you it’s killing my enthusiasm for the game. But is that all bad?
I made a resolution that whenever I’m about to press the buy button I go and buy something else. So far I’ve bought 2 new AAA games, treated the family to a nice lunch last weekend and have a new pair of sunglasses. Sweet.
So I’m gaming more, just not with Scopely, spending more time with friends and family and have some cool new stuff. It’s a win! 🥳
@tacit obsidian @royal solar seriously when is this getting corrected to a realistic number? I mean can someone just admit they accidentally added a 0?
Because it was no accident
I'm with all the posts regarding the Prime Station Delay. One of the worst decisions you could have made for the health of the game. Ludicrous.
In what system are the hostile eclipse ships located?
@random orbit Exchange Central and the surrounding systems.
Only another 18 months or so here
And they want us to believe that they didn't intend to remove station logs of getting hits. That prime makes me question if that was an accident or part of a plan...
You should really reduce all your packs to 1/10 of the current price. Since your coding is incompetent and useless, you should at least bring your offers accordingly low. And 1/10 or the present price lvl is actually being generous to you, if we look at the product. you deliver.
A great and interesting game......if you would just take your users seriously. You don't really seem to care one bit, tbh.
So i have an issue- the scoring does not say “1pt per uc directive spent” it says “uc armadas 100pts” - i did a uc armada in territory and only received 50pts- which is nonsense.
What zabatiz said is half right. Spending 200 dolla is bad. But it doesn't really matter if you only spend 100 dolla a month but are able to get 50 people to quit. You will cause a loss for scopely and a moral victory for yourself. If you do go hogwild just be sure not to give them any reason to ban you, like saying tos breaking stuff in chat
Did i break tos?
Last month was armadas left right & centre, this month a great armada event where I could finally unlock my st member, alas it shall not be this year either, you know after all the armadas last month 😆
I asid it last month, the reason they did the hugh event was to get rid of armada directives and sell packs. Too many players had too much saved up so they did a second hugh event to get rid of more. Then they dropped 5* armadas. And I can say the 5* packs are the best packs out there for armada loot. THE BEST. This was intentional. I had saved up dozens of epics and rares. I can't run any because the whales on our server declared war on anyone not under their boot and we are fighting.
I was informed by Scopely Support I should engage with the "Community Manager" to inquire about the "Content Creators Program", any idea who/where is the proper place to request information on this?
Stay tuned, new primes dropping mid-month next month - Delay Station Attacker - x rounds per prime purchased.
The CM here is Eco. You can find his posts in #⭐-official-announcements and DM from there.
Awesome, thank you
well.. we all know what the next prime is gonna be. a defense against this.
"We're sorry we made a $200 set of primes ruin the game for many of you. To make up for it we are releasing a $300 set that will defend against it.
game is buggy as hell. priority seems to be the ones that benefit us and don't care about the ones that hurt us unless whales care
For the last idk hour, every single Armada I've been in, the counter goes to zero and then... Nothing. No battle, no battle report, nothing. Even armadas that were only 4/5 full. Doesn't matter what ship or crew or system I'm in. It's been all of them. It's garbage there are MULTIPLE armada events today and they're apparently busted. And it's everyone in the armada, not just me. None of them are working for my alliance.
so i am drunk socpey its about some siad this after 1 year and for other 5 ish year just fix the dam game
People say it every single day. It doesn't change anything.
Please revamp the inventory system you need more classification and more consistency.
Some Examples of lack of consistency:
- Chronometric Particles is a "material", not "territory" item like other particles
- Complex nanotech is a "material", not "other" like most armada currencies including artifact tokens
- Fleet commander XP is a "material", not an "other/xp" like other XP items
- Hull Fragments are a "material", while Cerritos refinery tokens are "other"
Some ideas to clean it up....
- Remove sub menus, add filters+tags to items (i.e. Refinery, directive, limited event store, research, ship component, mission item, warp token, hostile drop, armada)
- Add many more submenus/subcategories
- Make sortable (by quantity, by last recieved, by rarity, by grade)
I would be willing to skip a month of event arc if scopely would fix all these problems and bugs in the game!
@bek how about you fix the delayed station prime, station hits, battle logs, and other issues first.
The missing notifications are a known issue, a timeline would be nice.
"This is a known issue"
been there for 5 years
The fact that it is a known issue doesn't mean it's actively getting solved. 🤷♂️
Why solve it when they can sell you an officer or a prime instead
Anyone heard anything if Scopely plans on giving a maintenance comp chest?
@vale wasp Anyword on when armada spawns will be fixed?
Hello @tacit obsidian and @royal solar , I want to express my concerns about the state of the game. After watching Rev video about the new base delay prime and all, I wonder if I should leave the game and play ST Infinite instead. If Scopely continues to add primes for Pay to Win in this game, I guess it's time to stop spending and move on. About the station prime, why should I have to use resources to upgrade my defenses because the whales will wreck the station more easily.? And about game stability, I do see in the last months a lot more issues that I didn't have last year. Getting very tired of this.
"Developer Note: Star Trek Fleet Command has expanded since the USS Discovery first launched. With the addition of new systems, the Delta Quadrant, and more, we wanted to give the Disco a way to reach some of these higher warp range systems."
Why is it a prime then?
The new primes just as always locked behind a pay wall are just a joke.... Simple pay for an advantage that f2p can't keep up with.... And on the other hand no compensation for the EU alliances who couldn't score in Adia on Wednesday
The older primes eventually had a F2P path, the new primes it is purchase only. It is no longer pay for advantage or progress...just pay to win such as the station delay prime
Really appreciate the bug fix in 59.1.
Really appreciate the quick developer's notes.
Don't support this evident "pay to fix game design problem" aspect to the Primes.
🍻
EDIT: Still not getting base hit notifications or logs as of an hour later. So, thanks for nothing I guess 🤷♂️
Garbage - you’re telling me that a 40% chance of standing a chance against a ship twice the power of my entire station is too high? Poor whales
@tacit obsidian @royal solar
Battle reports are STILL NOT GENERATING.
Pon is a 40% chance delay and removes the strike team. The prime is a FLEET WIDE ALWAYS ACTICE. IN FACT, WHALES ARE ALREADY USING MINERS TO CRACK AND RAID ALL IN ONE SHOT AGAIN.
I will not continue playing with this type of game play. A whale can 1 shot a base before this and it only makes it easier for them to crack anyone not a whale.
For a smaller players to stand a chance against bigs, we have to instant repair 2 ships (lat only) AND repair at least 2 DP. Whales will one shot the DP with freeman/rom/hgw/lorca.
BROKEN BROKEN BROKEN
You can decide to go down this path but it will be without me.
I didn't buy any packs because of the recuit sms and this is the final, delayed, nail in the Coffin.
Another step to pay to win which is a good way to lose players.
you are doing so well, we loosed over a dozain good player since beginning of month 👍
base delay prime WILL break the game, but, like Rev has said, you went from pay to progress to pay to win. I dont see how you thought that was a good idea
Money
Money is a good idea, they don’t give a 🐀 hindparts how they get you to throw it at them.
too bad the dev's really dont pay attention to this channel, otherwise they might actually know how to improve the state of the game
Game might not make it to the 6* ships when all the low spender/f2p people leave
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
FFS! Scopely has lost their damn minds now. If this is not evidence of excessive greed and lack of respect for the player base, then I don't know what is.
I loved the game mechanic in the beginning, but with each additional money grab, Scopely is making the game completely unplayable.... Unless you like Primes that break the game that you have to pay for, Bugs with every release of new content that you have to pay for, no real way for anyone to progress F2P or mostly F2P because you have to Pay to Win.
I got something for Scopely, Can you read between the lines? 🤚 😡
@tacit obsidian @royal solar I know you guys are devs and are not in charge of the business side of decisions. But I gotta say I'm done. Not only are you guys not bringing a Disco-A arc, you're now forcing me to pay for something I've got thousands of useless spore drives for. And also for a maximum range increase of 400 to 600?! There are systems out there with warp ranges of 1500 now. Star Trek designed the Disco to be able to go anywhere it needed to. I could understand some restraint while a player was new and not ready to go out that far. All you had to do was add another 10 levels to that research and we'd have been fine. Now I'm supposed to shell out more cash because of an outdated game mechanic. I'm good. Good luck. It's been fun and you guys have been great but I'm gonna go find a different Star Trek game that's not run by the Ferengi.
What’s next scopely shield jammer prime? Whales get annoyed by bases they can’t hit?
They will add one, but the thing will be behind a pay wall
I agree with the sentiment here. I've spent quite a lot on this game to help me progress to ops 54. This is the last straw. I'm not spending a single cent more, and the only reason I haven't uninstalled is my alliance.
So we broke pvp but heres some primes you can pay to help fix what we broke. have fun! Scopley..... WOW
Not fix, breaking it further
Soon it will be a Vaseline Prime so it don't hurt as bad when someone screws you over without a kiss because of their dumb ideas to "better" the game play.
So, your answer to smaller dolphins and f2p using strategy to even have an iota of a chance against whales...is to give the whales a Prime that forces the use of Pon to even get a shot off. Stop listening to the whales. Seriously. They know nothing of actual strategy other than throwing fistfulls of $$$ at the problem. Stop expecting the majority of your community (because we determine whether your game lives or dies, not the 1% whales) to find new ways around your screw-ups just to even try to enjoy playing. It's getting sad, old, and frankly, I'm starting to firmly believe you want this game to die. Disco warp range boost first rank should have been free. It's outdated, and nigh-useless for g5 players. This is disgusting you would even think station attack delay was needed, in any capacity.
"We created an issue, here is a prime research to fix this" - Scopley logic
"oops we're sorry we put in the wrong officers in today's ticket event, we know you used three so here is one back plus another ticket event."
Remember what happened with realta burn?
This should surprise no one anymore.
It's still a thing, just needs Mantis to sting first, and hope they don't realize Max Fortify with the research gets around it.
Use it now before they read this and patch it yesterday.
@royal solar
This is the most tone deaf update you guys have ever put out.
You know how attackers got an advantage? It's from being lvl 60.
That's all they needed. What you've done is make incursion impossible to play.
Not just incursion. General game play through out the entire month! 40% chance of a Pon Proc compared to a 2 round delay that the whales don't even need thanks to the last severely broken officer releases.
I will be updating all my reviews of this game to 1* and encourage everyone to do the same!
Wait, you gave them more than 1 star to begin with? 
Don’t worry, the click farms will be alerted once a bad review gets posted and will be buried and swamped by 4 and 5* reviews
Update 59.1 Patch Notes. Why is a Ping required? there is completely meaningless. All it says is that the more Scopely is grabbing, this game is becoming more and more unplayable because of this. People wanting to spend on a game is their own choice. But this is another way. This is just P2 in its worst form!!!
"we wanted to give the Disco a way to reach some of these higher warp range systems." Give...right so giving is same as paying?
So, the Territory Season has started. But except for the new research and the event, after 2 weeks, not much about territory has changed. The same top alliances are full and they have taken the same premium territory and no one can challenge them for those territories. So what was this season pass thing supposed to accomplish?
So devs now want us to pay to use the disco? What next? Pay for a G6 prime ship research to unlock G6 ships?
So I guess territory is broken, instructions CLEARLY state that "must be tier 1 territory OR connected but not allowing joining if another tier 1 is not connected
So the big alliances have to fight each other and buy more trit.
Who cares if that's only good for the first couple rounds of takeovers.
@vestal grotto
I really do wish it was more of a numbers game, but even if you flood the system with realta and other cheap to repair ships you can't do anything about the big ships sitting on nodes
Not on our server. The 5 biggest alliances are in their own sections and the top alliance is so greedy it takes 2 of the level 3 territories. No one has the strength to stop it.
Selling quality of life updates is getting old
In 1 swoop, they negated all base defenses. Which also makes it pointless to invest in those researches and etc
I just sent what's in this screenshot to my alliance chat on discord. Left the other stfc server the other day and now dropping this here for all the good it will do and peacing out. Take care all.
Until next month's primes that flip things back over
$$$copely strikes again!! 💩
Prime "round zero" base defense
Because who says Combat starts at the first round? 😂😂
😭
This game was fun for a while, nice playing with you all
Who needs deflector shields when you can have reflector shields! Way better than rubber vs glue! Just send all your damage back at your attacker!
It seems to be Scopely's belief that fixing bugs is not profitable.
It might not be profitable, but it might help with avoiding profit loss
That's not sexy for the investors though.
The joke is on us cause even if there is churn, Scopely gets the engagement numbers (the slow mode here is excessive)
Prime Station delay? Scopely, are you high? What the everloving whale bologne is this? Holy hannah, you banned tal for how long because it was "broken" and now you are literally giving omega whales 2 free rounds to just plow home? All sorts of messed up.
This announcement is offensive in so many levels.. Read the announcement, there ONE, ONLY ONE bug fix and THREE TWO tier. (i.e. .200 Eur eac) primes. 😳
Then lets see the primes one by one:
Discovery range because you released 5G armadas and people could not disco to it. Didn’t you know thats one of the main use-cases of the disco? What values of warp extension ? No idea.
Prime Crit reduction: Oh so this is the planned balancing fix to one round pvp? Really? Congrats you now upset anyone who had sourced the recent officers. And you made it a prime, making the gap between spenders and F2P bigger. Anyone who doesn’t get it a sitting duck.
Prime sttion delay: Are you kidding me? Do you know how many researches there are in the trees to buff this and now it is all wasted?
Oh look it usses the same currency, perhaps its F2P sourceable, for example like the territory one…. ah no, announcement says nothing of the sort.
The first prime just shows you don’t know your users. The next primes are desperate course corrections because the game has been drifting over months in one direction. You are over compensating and about to find yourselves in a ditch.
I significantly reduced my spending on this game, this is ridiculous.
#PrimeGate is here.
How incapable you are of taking blue prints out of the boxes without notice🤬🤬🤬💩💩💩
First a little recap of how this announcement comes across:
-One (1!) bugfix, for something that you obviously broke yourself, owned to a lack of sufficient (if any) testing
-3 new Primes to pay for fixing that one thing you broke yourself
Then, prime-content wise I can only agree with @charred ravine.
You time and time again introduce game-breaking changes behind paywalls to squeeze more money from the big spenders.
You knowingly steer towards the point of no return where you‘ll have to completely start from scratch because all those short-thought „balancing fixes“ and whale primes will continue to utterly mess up your codebase as well as the game mechanics to the point of breaking.
So now we got G5 armadas, 1B power ships and a plethora of specialty ships. Whats next? G6 obviously! Lvl70, 1T ships and more primes!
And then? G7 and 1A ships? G8 and 1AA ships? I‘m sure you see where this is going, but you‘re not doing anything against it.
The non- or light-spenders will probably find themselves still below lvl60 when the big spenders hit lvl80.
Do you see the issue? You have a growing gap between the heavy spenders and everyone else, and it keeps growing.
#PrimeGate is probably just the beginning, #PowerGapGate is whats up next
They brought out new primes for the Vi’dar and introduced Talios a couple of weeks later, so I’m not ruling out Disco-A 😅
PON is NOT a guarantee ... well done scopely, managed to really drive ppl away this time. Cant wait to see you on stream claiming high retention numbers again, i could see you sweating last time you made this claim (and so could everyone else). Its like you felt you needed to make the claim to stop everyone jumping ship. Well done on drilling another hole into the titanic.
We have had issues with raiding being too difficult in the past. Back then you fixed the problem, today you're selling a band-aid. The game has always been pay to win, now we are moving towards pay to play.
I can't compete in mining monday without a whip.
I can't punch up in armadas due high warp ranges and disco being locked behind a prime.
And now there's little hope of raiding becoming more reasonable without buying primes.
I'm certainly not your ideal customer but your decisions has made me avoid any spending.
no really it's like you don't know the Taco Bell story
you'll make more money if you get smaller money per transaction but do a higher volume then you're making now getting big punches from a small group of whales
and pretty soon you're going to lose your largest number of players if you keep this up
I wonder if you're aware of how many podcasts and YouTubers are already hinting it's time to leave?
@royal solar The Prime Discovery is not appearing in the Store. And without it you are not able to complete the 3 Primes needing this specific tokens. (Discovery, Critical Hit and Station Siege)
the game has become a heaping pile of hot garbage in terms of playability. erroring out ever 5 minutes (errors 2, 5, 6), constant disconnects, armadas broken with no comms, every new feature has major issues, ships launched and stuck during maintenance (not player actions), and the list goes on. But hey, let's throw two new primes out there and further monetize the game. someone said you're celebrating the 5th anniversary like it's your last. things are starting to feel that way. can't figure out if the new Saudi-driven business strategy is get every dollar without a care or if Scopely has just become that inept
cause adding two ranks to the existing research would not yield them prime income (ppl would buy mat packs anyway for those lol )
I have stepped back from the game playing a lot less and not spending any money. The game has became alot less enjoyable with all the bugs, and things that just don't work. I don't want to spend money on, or play a broken game. I have found much more enjoyable things to do. I can't believe how much this game can cost to play when it is so broken and things you spend money on get completely trashed a few months down the road. This game to me has become trash.
They will soon be selling packs for those bug fixes
How are ties broken in a leader board?
Yo scopely, I found this game seemingly running on the same toolkit.
Realtime combat, Real fleets, customizable ships.
You should watch how much better Stfc could be.
Is this game just too big for mobile now?
Everyday I am having to restart it dozens of times as there are just so many bugs and freezes.
Or do the devs expect everyone to have the latest smartphone each year?
STFC on iOS has been a complete joke for years. Scopely’s fully aware of how bad app stability is but will not be doing anything about it.
<@&509690795536941056>
The Station attack delay prime really makes me mad. There was 0 need for it. There shouldn't ever be a Prime to negate legit strategies.
Let me repeat that in case you didn't hear it the first time.
There shouldn't ever be a Prime to negate legit strategies.
Another SMS for a officer I don't care about. I'm not unlocking Shakes or whatever his name is this month. Thinking about sitting on my mats. More disappointment from Scopley.
All you guys complaining about new primes. When the bigger immediate issue is there are no solo armadas to kill. I cannot do Borg refines as a result
I'm considered a whale and I partially agree with ya. I don't think they are pandering to anyone, just milking the cow for all its worth. All these primes with the currency change is just greed. Pay to grow is one thing, pay to play is and we have definitely transferred into pay to play game. Its ridiculous. The New PVP officers ruined the game. No more finding different combinations to fight.
Why is it so hard of a concept for Scopely to make adjustments to the game that improve older mechanics, because of new content, without making it a Prime? Just flippin add it to the game you greedy chodes.
@tacit obsidian S28 is still without Rare and Epic Eclipse, Solo, and Cardassian Armadas. Is this being addressed. Been almost 4 days
I think dopely needs to fix my mess hall stats . I'm at 64 but I'm getting 0 from it !!!
They're the EA of Activision Blizzard of the Mobile industry
Is that eve echoes?
no, something called "Nova Space Armada" on mobile. Started 2 days ago, sharing a lot of similarities to STFC but more customizable
Hey Scoply, if you could fix the stuff with the weird notifications for the refinery that would be awesome. It is always showing a number at the gas, crystal and ore module when there is nothing to refine. PLEASE fix this. Thank you.
Also it would be awesome to get a button „mark all read“ in the private message section or get the things right and sync read status of messages when using multiple devices on multiple operating systems.
Why is there a bar for months below????
How to get this out the way... I don't need to be told for 45 mins I'm not in the takeover and it blocks screen view.. please don't fix this by adding another ship or prime
Hope the price in the Norwegian STFC.Web store soon get back to the old price on the 100$ packs. I will not spend 1290Nok for the 100$ pack. Will not spend money on this game before the packs get back to 1090Nok pr 100$ pack
That bar is from your Apple product and has absolutely nothing to do with Scopely,
You do realize that the stronger the dollar gets, it devalues your currency so it takes more of your currency to cover the original cost.
and vice versa, the weaker the dollar, the less it should cost natively ... but you know, the pound is worth 20% more than the dollar ... i dont see how £99 is less than the $99 youre paying when it should be.
Don't disagree, but his complaint was that the cost of his pack went up due to dollar inflation. Your price in the isles has always been £99 hasn't it? You guys should be pushing for £79 packs for parity. You guys are paying way more for the same stuff we get for less.
the cost way back in the day was something like £89? id have to go back and see, but i think it was 89 pre-easter pricehike, thats why all the uk players were complaining
I knew scopely was greedy, but only putting monoveen prints in 3 of the 6 three star territory sections is down right criminal. Are they purposely trying to anger players? Start server wars? Slowly get the game shutdown? All of the above?
Dear (NOT!!!) scopely.
It seems like you're doing everything possible to get as many players as possible out of the game, and you're quietly closing it.
Because everything you've been doing for the last year is complete crap.
Just saw the press release of the UK's new coinage. They look pretty snazzy.
hail to the king baby ... if only we had duke nukem ... LOL
It’s still not 1290Nok for 100$. Then everything over 1000Nok is expensive in Norway. So people do not spend, and when it becomes 1290Nok, it’s just crazy. You get the new call of duty for 829Nok, so its better to start playing other games than this if they increase prices more. 1090Nok pr pack was my limit and when they increased it with 200Nok. I just stopped buying packs, scoplay loose in the end, not me
So going from 2-5 packs of 1090Nok to only the small battlepass of 249Nok. Scoplay loos more than i do, and next step is stop playing then scoplay loose even more
Is that Infinite Lagrange?
Station battle logs are still broken. I can see logs generate normally when I raid a base, but anytime someone hits my base I see no logs. Latest instance today, after latest patch.
I’m into my 3ed week of no STFC. No notifications. No worrying about shields. No pressure to finish dailies. No more dealing with a game that’s glitchy. No more scoply greed pumping out whale bait every day. Things have really turned around for me and I’m much happier. I should have quit months ago.
Quit stfc: hair grows back or grows thicker; libido markedly improves; you drop weight, get out more; you find this thing called the sun; get a promotion at work and enjoy an overall improvement to mental health.
I can keep reposting
The overlords will not change their methods until we hit them where it hurts - in THEIR WALLET!!
Dear Scopley, I would like to thank you for the super exclusive G5 Bortas. It has the same look and feel of my old G3 Bortas but with more stars. Keep up the good work, love it and again thank you. PS….it has the same power lvl as my old one, is there going to be a prime I can buy….maybe even a $1200 multi tiered one so that I can boost it up a bit?
7 day cool down on the monaveen bp refinery?! That's ridiculous! I understand stretching out ships everyone's going to get like the Defiant, Titan, and the cosmic cleanup ships. But to require you to capture a 3* TC system and then hold it for 12 weeks? That's just cruel
So they still aren’t gonna tell us or give us anything for their massive screwup
Your statement implies that there have been multiple screwups. This entire game has been a screwup since launch
I really love the new primes- but I will not be purchasing them. It is silly to me to have to purchase a prime to overcome Pon- at $200 to not even counter him completely and it is really silly to me to have to spend any money at all to get my disco to my current warp range.
I understand Scopely has to get it's cut but some things should not have to be paid for. Disco range should just have been added to the existing research tree and the station delay should have been added as a normal research in the extended station research tree.
To my understanding, there should be, eventually a f2p path to every prime, but there are many prime researches that don't have that path- so using the excuse of "it will be f2p eventually" doesn't fly.
We need an in-game universal translator, just like Star Trek!
Its disgrace that many other games have universal translator but not star trek.
So, at ops 54, i need rare ore to upgrade ops 55. But the refinery wont give it at that level. Only way with cash or events.
How hard can it be for scopley to develop "collect all useless daily refines" button? And get rid of the most useless done button. We never cared what we collect. Only that the collecting is fast.
Please increase isogen mining node sizes!
i can see where their thinking comes from, it's a reward for holding onto tier 3 for an entire "season".
to reach points for the tc season pass for small alliance it is almost impossible....
small alliances can't always pay the fee for the takeovers .... not enough res and on the other hand the big alliances wont give up their territorries either
this system works only for big alliances
HEY SCOPELY: COULD WE PLEASE, PLEASE HAVE STATION BATTLE REPORTS BACK? in server 80???
Also, I greatly dislike the new station weapon's delay prime. Imo if you don't think pon/kras strategy should be viable for lower ops players to defend against larger ops, you should have addressed some of the more core issues first.
Some ideas...
-add a cooldown to shielding, either caused by shield ended prematurely via pvp or add a cooldown when one is applied.
-remove instant turret repairs, but decrease repair time substantially
-make it so turrets are prioritized first in station hits
Scopley, we still need more penalties for players who switch alliances to hold more territory than they should. Perhaps all territory should be at the same time (or at least of the same level 1s, 2s, or 3s) so the whales can only pick 1 and nit jump ship to the same 3 alliances.
Difference is Pon strategy is only a chance to proc….. the prime guarantees station can do nothing for 2 rounds
What about it?
never mind thanks 🙏
@zinc swan those are all good ideas but the whole reasom they made the prime is to milk the whales more they dont care about the balance.
Yeah, I know. But I'm trying to make scopely understand that yes, primes to "fix" issues does make some immediate money, but in the long run will often further increase power discrepancies between f2p/spenders/whales.
Having healthy, competitive fun is a much better long term revenue generator than unsustainable "rage spending" from my experience.
how scopley works is they cycle players not keep them. they dont plan on keeping players for the long term but rather keep players in a cycle. new players on new servers that creat new whales. old servers get merged since non whales get tired of scopley and quit. eventually whales quit but scopley would have milked those old whales already so they dont try and keep them. instead open new server get a bunch of new players and new whales to milk. once they run out of new players/whales theyll drop the IP.
We are going on day 4 of no armadas spawns, some update or post recognizing the issue would be great. @vale wasp The ticket events issue happened after this started and was addressed in an official post. Could we get the same level transparency for this armada issue as well?
it is the weekend there will be none. its expected at this point if its weekend AND it isnt something that could hit their pockets they just ignore it.
@tacit obsidian please get Darwin and Hadley added to the common officer packs or something. 11/11 also is old with no sourcing - Transporter Patterns maybe? They’ve been waiting long enough.
@crisp dome Have they officially changed territory where it's no longer where anyone can take a lvl 1 territory, because it won't let you if not connected any more
I see that on the second layer info you have changed this, I don't remember seeing this mentioned anywhere on your releases
+It would be nice if you changed this since it still shows the old info
Any outsider can attack any T1 zone, but someone already in Origin can only attack a zone that keeps their territory contiguous. The rules haven't changed for the mechanics since TC started.
I have now opened about 18 different replicator windows in the event store. I have gotten Garaks 1 Tana and that’s it. No more officers shards at all. What a scam.
@general feed bug fix the damn station and ship attack notification in game!!!!!!!!!! my people get fed up with this!!!!!!!
Any other servers having problems with high level players clearing out entire mining systems just because they can?
no. most servers come up with ROE - rules of engagement
most of them are excessively-worded "don't be rude for no reason" statements, but some can get pretty overbearing
If your players were shielded they wouldn't get raided. So wouldn't have any notifications station was hit.
WE still need more penalties for players who switch alliances to hold more territory than they should. Perhaps all territory should be at the same time (or at least of the same level 1s, 2s, or 3s) so the whales can only pick 1 and not jump ship to the same 3 alliances.
Same as collect all event rewards...
Well you could always just go to war. Lol kos.
Sure as a mid 40 let me just kos a dozen 60s. 🤦♂️
furthermore, why have so many non-pvp events and challenges and things, if pvp-interferance cannot cross a line into bullying?🤔
so that you can say, "Them's the breaks?" and laugh your asses off in people's faces at those people's misfortune [aka bully people]?
when are we going to get another ships blueprints event/store?
Halloween maybe but probably Christmas
i really like how android notifications were disabled. guess it doesn't matter much when 3/4 of the game is broken. i'm surprised i can still pull daily chests at this point.
All I ever seem to pull these days are errors...
I get these a lot, it seems to be related to warping ships arriving into a system with "fog of war" later than what the app expects (or earlier than the server side expects). Specially I get them on Apple, can't remember getting them on PC.
Yeah. I've noticed it happens a lot in territories. It's frustrating af when it happens during contested takeovers. So many restarts...
File a ticket with CS. Send them SS of your convo as well.

Hi guys im new to this game im asking if any of the pro's can dm me and i will talk more
#🤝-help-each-other is likely the best bet
Freeman is way op for interceptors. With explorers, they need morale to activate their bonus and then you need an officer to apply one on them. The best you can apply an effect is Dezoc turn 2. 98% if battle are over by then.
For battleships. You need burning and they won't apply that affect until turn 2. So again, battles are over by then.
Interceptors take massive advantage of Freeman with Honorguard Worf and Lorca. Huge. It gives them a distinct advantage.
The new iso damage officers are the same way but worse.
And even with shaxs for the battleships, won't get an iso boost until turn 2.
The best solution would be to flip the abilities on strike team la'an. 10% chance to turn at the start of the turn +40% per synergy. And her officer ability would be the same increased shot chance as the other strike teams. For Ransom, his iso should work if his ship has morale or their ship has an effect.
@rigid vapor can you make more brackets for slb? The current brackets are unrealistic. maybe 2 ops levels per bracket so people have a chance. More people would push ops 50 if they knew they weren't giving up on slbs. Adding more brackets incentives people to ops up more frequently
We've heard your feedback. We will be releasing epic below deck burning, morale, and hull breach officers in the near future. We'd like to give more players the opportunity to earn these new officers, so we will be sourcing them similarly to how T'ana has been sourced.
We know these new officers will be very powerful and will shake up the meta. That's why we're going to tightly control how many shards of each are released, by giving players the opportunity to earn no limit 10 shard gacha packs in the store.
Only 99.99 per pack. On a side note, these officers will require 1000 shards for t1.
So they gave the one ticket compensation but still have not given the compensation for the maintenance screw up.
Where do we report in-game scamming messages?
File a ticket with CS if you need to, but they've been informed already. I would just use the Report button and block.
@general- is anyone else losing active players to the algorithm- they should not be kicking our players especially the active ones
Scopley, delete this garbage and refund everyone who bought it.
Which dev thought it would be a good idea to release a Prime that actively DISCOURAGES PvP when you're releasing new PvP content/officers???
Singlehandedly kills Incursion participation as well, just awful decision making.
@tacit obsidian can you have the store add in the event ticket packs? They took them down at reset and they added one more day of events.
#free whip
Scopely...can u put new chests to the right instead of the left of existing chests in gifts? verry annoying to have chests moved when clicking thru to where we are used to them being.
Scopely's biggest lie
No... really? 🤦♂️
you have to confirm it! 🙈
Think its time to ask for delete client. That lat event is impossible without the whip!! Not enough nodes shops etc. To finish it. Its a 24 hr job to Watch not going oc or beeing shot of a node. To much research ships etc. Added that you need to skip things just to be in the loop. Game is to tome consuming as it is. Think its GAME OVER !!!
Anyword on when these aramadas will start spawning again?
Hey, when are they actually going to fix this BS with our base raid logs?!? They said they fixed it days ago, but it’s still happening and they never dropped the update they said they did…#⭐-official-announcements message
The developers disabled them on your server because of your lack of empathy
calling people out for complaining about a very doable event has nothing to do with empathy. Dont do the event if you dont want the rewards
#verydoable 😂 - look - just admit - it's a stretch ...........
"Very doable" - proceeds to be on right at event reset and resetting surveys for all his waking hours mmmmm yeah super doable
That lat event is ridiculous. After watching Rev's vid on P2W, it showed where the devs priorities are. It's pretty disgusting
Scam?
What game dev dont realise is that its a community that keeps the game up. Ftp or p2w we are all needed . People connecting and having fun. Instead of fast money They should focus on making it more even maybe lower the prices and stop spamming new things
Changing the pvp meta three times in 13 months is ridiculous. Thier prices are ridiculous. I keep seeing a sale banner but for what? Nothing is on sale. Just more ridiculous prices for garbage. I paid $7 Canadian for the extra build slot. That's all they're going to get.
People can spend their money how they want but know that it wasn't skill that gets people to the top spot. It's their wallet.
OK scopes that legacy reel was pretty cool. Thanks for the memories!
You are wrong, Burn applies at the same time Lorca applies his Hull Breach if you use Georgiou.
Nero on the other hand would only trigger Freeman on round 2, just like Gorkon would.
What if i told you that you can use Morale without triggering the others Freeman, wouldnt that be broken?
Long live scopelies non unified trigger priorities.
I wish my reel wasn't glitched. more that 1/2 the info and the playstyle determination glitched, tested on multiple devices.
Dopely with their desperation of money is driving this game into a whales only club and driving the f2p out !!!
Scopely needs to solve the perverse incentive by the battle pass to take and immediately drop 1* territories. Before the pass every territory was taken, now there are 6 untaken territories on my server being gatekeeped by large alliances
How many frames of the Legacy Reel does 💩 appear in?
I actually enjoyed the legacy reel. Thanks. 🙂
Ah yes. No comp for the maintenance cluster or the pickle bp snafu...but we get an announcement about some madlibs in a video. Cool. 👍
I swear this is the worst lag I’ve ever experienced in this game. I’ve been stuck on 76% loading for ages after every crash.
@royal solar Sharing our videos isn't working because it's wanting viewers to enter our player ID...
@royal solar Reels are cool as heck. Thanks!
For some reason my Reel is showing JuicyBrainFart. Epic name, but not me. On PC, I use the scopely account for the web store. What am I missing?
Reel was interesting but I wish it showed our start date.
Use the PlayerID from inside the game, under settings > General.
Yup. Has the convenient copy button next to it? That's what I'm trying. JuicyBrainFart is what it gives me. Stats do not match at all.
Cooldown timer.
Then I would contact CS, and ask them about it. Could be an issue with your account. #👽-how-to-contact-support
What do you expect from a company that spent 100's of millions on a yacht named USS Cash Cow for the company that sits in Marina Del Rey Marina?! (facetious)
the reel was a real yawner. was hoping it'd give me the date I created my account. instead its a glorified version of the Player Profile screen. Just Scopely occupying more time I'll never get back
Georgiou doesn't provide synergy with the strike team. So yes, tou xould trade off one of the side officers and get a 70% increase in shots but no iso damage. Even if you did have shaxs and you used synergy, you lose out on shot delays or shield reduction.
And, the biggest kicker, you lose those hull breaches and that drastically increased damage...same with explorers and morale.
You first talked about Lorca Honorgard Worf, now it's about strike team..
Your arguments are nonsensical
Thanks for all the hardwork! I love the Legacy Reel!!
There are artifacts that give iso damage when explorers have morale, battleships have burning and interceptors have hull breach.
Right now, Freeman is best with HGW and lorca. You get massive critical hits and iso damage is almost the same.
98% of all battles are less than 1 round by doing this, in fact almost all of themnare first weapon fired kills.
If you tried to get the extra iso damage on explorers or battleships, you WILL DIE to a similar sized ship. Almost every single time. You are not going to win unless you are using hgw and lorca.
Big shout out to @royal solar for the Legacy Reels. Possibly the best thing from the game this year. Thank you!
Same, I love the reels and everybody is talking about it.
Where are we supposed to share our legacy Reel at? I really want a chance to make my own avatar. I'm also loving the Legacy Reel. 😆
Mine isn’t even working, only showing like the first seconds and then a black screen 😂
How typical lol
@royal solar The Legacy Reels are amazing! Thank you!
That's on purpose, cause if it did, we'd all be slapping ourselves for wasting ___ days/months/years of our lives on this game that keeps getting worse and worse every week but we're still here! 😆
Legacy Reels are awesome but why didn't those cycles go into fixing bugs?...........
Scopely 💦 on our roof and is not even that polite to call it rain
Thank you for freeing up my Monday evenings and Tuesdays. This event is impossible for me to compete in now and I used to be able to go for the win (not with my current score of course).
Now it's the people who paid gatekeeping the extra parts and no way to go anywhere close without the being whipped.
Game just got a lot less fun
Legacy reel is nice. Only thing I'm missing there are some dates. E.g. Career start date (since I play), and some milestones. Maybe when reached lvl 15 (station pvp unlocked), lvl 25 (territory and lot of events), ..
Legacy reel will not work for me.
@royal solar @tacit obsidian The new legacy thing is nice. BUT I would have preferred that Scoply uses its scarce programming resources to finally fix all the bugs 👀…. I ordered the first dog, but Scoply only delivers Dave to me🙈
Legacy reel is just another thing they copied from EVE.
At least it's not as bad as other things they copied
@royal solar is the voyager field training really supposed to to take years to complete? Or is there a cheat code to get it done faster?
The "cheat code" is scanning in the borg coordinate systems. It will still take considerable amount of time as well as impact your ability to mine anomaly, but the scanned hostiles do have a decent drop rate on commerce tokens
But still even when doing 5 pulls per day it will take almost 7 months of doing that daily 😵💫
<@&509690795536941056> Hyrolaw on S44 is still missing its hostiles and I can't reveal species 8472.
Why is there nothing right now to tell us what the tonight's update has fixed/broken?
Maybe $copely has no clue themselves what it's supposed to fix..🤷🏼♂️😉
Look, I have put up with incursions not working, I have put up with the bugs, I have put up with people paying large sums of money to hit me with a ship 20x my power (I get it, you need to make money), I have spent probably $400 on this game, which may not sound like a lot, but is more than I have ever speant on any game in my life…and what do I get in return?
We pivot to a pure pay to win strategy vs. a mostly pay to accelerate. There are now so many elements of the game behind a paywall, oh and ya, now there is a prime, where the larger players can now smack my base and I have no recourse. There is no way to defend against the new prime. I have players that are lvl 41 to my lvl 46, that have a D4 with 15M power, causing 6M crits and 4M iso on me…owned my Valdore running the new meta crew, with a decent amount of research.
Look, I know you need to make money, but this culture of pay to win has to stop. I was about to drop serious coin into the game to get two more docks for defense, purely and mainly for incursions, but not only do incursions not run, but now, those docks are null and void since my defenses won’t work against the larger players I need them to.
In short, not only am I not going to bother with more docks, but I am considering dropping out of the game. Scopely, you have broken me and a lot of other players. I have not seen this many people flee a game in a while.
Yes... this Prime with the station is really evil. There is no possibility of Defence. I mean that I can't defeat a 🐳 is fine. The fact that my station burned after his visit is also okay. But I would like to do him at least a little harm just on principle. With the new Prime, it doesn't matter what kind of Defence I build. That's sad... actually it's a strategy game.
Yup, I used to be able to really hurt those sanctums, and I was hoping with two more docks I could actually defend myself, and yes, it would not defend against a G5 epic, but completely understand. Instead, now, I am owned, incursions I will not be able to raid as I have over 3T in resources myself, and with that buff, I would get raided as I raid.
The power creep with buildings is one things, at least I eventually am able to rank them up and it feels good when I do, but the paywall for some primes, and the forbidden tech, simply allow people to spend to win. And that is not fun anymore. I am fine with spend to get an advantage and spend to advance. But the pay to win strategy, it is now more evident than ever and really makes me not even want to try anymore, both with money and my time.
The Legacy Reel was great. Thanks for the memories.
Unfortunately, it was overshadowed by the new station delay prime and the pvp Carol Freeman debacles.
Station delay prime negates active base defense and nullifies F2P strategy. Incursions will be a huge bore as players turtle up. Carol Freeman and critical ruined PVP. So what is left for a low spend player? Mining? Hostiles? Armadas? Essentially the most boring tedious aspects of the game.
Ultimate Djz stream seemed to indicate something even worse is on the way. Way to jump the Shark Scopely!
The Legacy Reel was pretty cool. Gotta give credit on that one.
Everyone has problems with the Prime Stations delay... not only F2P but also the dolphins get a problem with 🐳. There is no way to counter a ship over 300 million even with a good Defence. 🤷🏼♂️ Only the shield remains... or change location after attack
I realize I had no chance against G5 epic ships. And with G6 coming soon - whales do not need help getting into my base or stopping my raid. This prime lets G5 uncommon ship and maybe even G4 ships kill my base. Shielding up and moving away from the raid are certainly choices… just not strategic or entertaining
@royal solar Love the Reel, Thank you!
For me the G6 ships whatever, again, that is progression, I can eventually get there, I never thought I would ever own a pillum, but I am 41 shards away from it, exciting! Pay to progress is fine, I know I am never going to be the biggest guy out there, yet I love punching up and in my weight class. But the pay to win, which includes but is not only the station attack prime, that is where it is very disheartening when I will never win unless I spend serious money. On top of that, there is so much in the game right now to do, which on one hand is good, but it feels like a job to keep up, and that is not just from the smaller players, I hear that from the big spenders as well. So much has been introduced, that it is insane how much effort it takes to work on everything, unless again, you hand out lots of 💰💰💰. Which again, turns it even more into pay to win.
Ok, off my soap box, hopefully I made my point, although I doubt scopely will listen.
Scope doesn’t care they will bleed the whales dry then shut down the game.
Legacy video is an absolute waste of time 🤣 basically a summary of playing stats that's already there to read in the bio. Rather do your job and fix the bugs Devs 👍
5 years 🥂I'm looking forward to the next few years... event shop credits very low 😉
Good evening Scopely 😃
The reel is awesome….it made our Team have a good laugh and fun time 😄🫶
Thank you for that 🥳👌
Nice waste of money, time, and resources Scopely! Could have used all that cash from this dumb Legacy Video thing to at least fix 0.0000031% of one of the dang bugs in your code! 🤣
Yeah, $cope doesn’t give a flip about anyone but AMEX and Visa. The only reason I’m staying in this game is the community we have -even if some elements on the server are homophobic, dictatorial and outrageously toxic- so if it wasn’t for the human element, I’d be so gone it isn’t even funny. A friend of mine got a new phone, downloaded the app, so naturally it started a new account… and told the people in GC to get out while they can. He’s the real MVP. Just know this scopely: most of us are not here for the game anymore, and it definitely isn’t about your greedy business practices.
5yrs and just a stupid video
This was good, except I have always been Klingon and Intercept is my primary ship lol. Haven’t used my Korinar in 2 years or better lol
legacy vid was nice but that about the only nice thing from scopley in the last 3 months.
@tacit obsidian @royal solar Seriously... can you guys get the hostile chests updated.... they need to be better scaled to player Ops levels.... its really old getting ship bps that I will never use again...PLEASE HELP US!!!!
I actually really liked the Legacy video. that was neat. 🙂
no chance people have been asking that for years
Figured I would put the bug in their ear once more... cant hurt.
I like the legacy reel. Just annoyed that the download button doesn’t respond at all and won’t let me download it.
I found the legacy video a stupid waist of time . It was in accurate as hell to my play of ships . Also felt like nothing but smoke being blowed up the tail pipe. It was just mildly interesting and entertaining but inaccurate with ships I use . Plus it provides absolutely nothing so just a waist to even bother with . Simply put it was just a smoke and mirrors distraction for scopley screw ups
Ok I've opened like 10 to 20 of the event chests is it a 0% chance to get lathium
Anyone else seeing more and more players leaving on there server? The truly are killing the game it feels like.
The problem is, most of those who go... go silent and do not delete the profile. For Scoply, everything looks fine. Sales per server are not falling at the moment. The number of players also looks the same on paper. The right problem only becomes visible later when too much stops... chain reaction. Who goes should delete his profile so that Scoply even notices it. And yes, I see more and more empty dead stations. However, they still exist on the pretty graphics in Scoply's Meetings. So they think everything is great.
Yep, and certain unscrupulous alliances with huge egos leave their massive whales who have quit on the roster to pad their stats, knowing full well that those stats mean exactly nothing to anyone. The only stats that are important is what is on $cope’s balance sheet at the end of the day
They are so used to lying all the time that lying to themselves and shareholders is just another day at the office
my base was just hit and I can't find it in my battle logs... I'm not sure if I'm just blind or something is wrong 😢
Yup.
There's a bug with attacks on your base not generating battle reports. I'd stay shielded til the bug is fixed.
So, like forever?
<@&509690795536941056> this month and this latest version of the game has been the most unstable version yet. Randomly when opening thr event window, the game simply freezes in the blank loading screen. And Randomly I get error pop up codes but I have no idea what caused it (error code 5 is one of them). Sometimes when I was in DS, I recall my ship and go to the event tab (when it works), but when I return to the main screen, I get an error pop up about the viewing state of the system.
shield is still working, just saying. prime has no value if there are no unshielded bases.
so shield discipline is the key...
Attack the app feedback. Hit them there. This game is garbage and useless until they actually fix it
Wait till they give a ship ability to temporarily suppress base shields (you can attack as if they had no shield)
Add a way for players to transfer servers at any level. The rationale supporting this is the following:
- Scopely does nothing to enforce rules regarding in game conduct this leads to abuse, harassment etc and toxic gameplay on some servers.
- Some servers have inactive players.
- Some long term players may need a change of scenery to stay in the game.
If you could only transfer to servers older than the one you are on that would solve the issue of power imbalance.
🤦♂️ The reel left me confused. ‘When I started I did x and since then I’ve done y” since when? Is the pivot point level based? Time based? The info is as useful as a graph w/o labels 🙄 Maybe instead of creating “content” like this you could use the time and effort to fix some bugs and/or make QOL improvements (that aren’t an effort to monetize bad code) 😮💨
This was left out of my reel
this calls for a pay strike! no purchases for an entire month across all servers until they listen
Enjoy your ban for mentioning the S word 😂
I dont think they left it out... I just dont think scopely math can count that high....
Provide customer support via discord the in game help chat isn’t very user friendly and has poor UX
instant classic, excellent
C'mon! You guys can come up with better options for the 5 year mark. These 2 options need to be replaced with better ideas. This is like when Charlie Brown goes Trick 'o Treating and all he gets is a rock. Slap in the face... all I got was a STFC pin or logo sticker. 👎
You don't remember those Beano and Dandy giveaways, where you'd write in with your self addressed envelope, and if you won anything, it was a broken biro? 😄
Always someone or something with “Send a stamped addressed envelope to…”
the rewards are terrible. It takes you 45 minutes to complete TC, preparation and battles. This is what you get... (as an example). That's very poor for battlepass reward event
But they’re incredible rewards, can’t you tell? I mean the event tells you so, so they must be
I agree, my point was, if I am raiding a base, and a lvl 50ish base pops next to me to defend, I can keep raiding since my ships in docks can fend off his attacks, but now, I just have to turtle and stop raiding…completely defeated simply because there is a prime that I can’t even buy a prime to defend against. I was looking to spend more in getting two additional docks for s better load out, but now the fun is gone.
Rom was a great add but had a counter… no counter for $$$ not even $$$…. Just wait in 2 months there will be a prime that causes your base to fire first no matter what twice cancelling each other out.. Great work scopely
Guessing STFC will be dead by end of year. This game has become too complicated, overrun by whales, and little value for the $99 Scopely prices everything at. Life support is failing.
For me personally it is shocking how bad this year is for f2p and F2p bp-elite players and how every event turns into "don't even have the chance of being top 10-20" if I don't get for e.g forbidden technology. Many games understand while making money they also have to be careful with balance f2p/ small spenders vs whales because without the majority of players the game will die slowly or even get boring for whales. This year has shown that they completely lost the little balance or consideration they had in the past for f2p / bp f2p. I am saying this from a perspective of a like so below whales dolphins and tuna fish. I am just worried that for what ever reason they are so much catering to spending they accidentally kill or slowly melt the playerbase that is vital.
This game we love, it’s nothing more than a commodity to $copay, I get people coming here to complain and vent, I have done similar many times myself. However, it’s plain as day they DO NOT listen, they simply monetise everything possible now, and are trying to squeeze the last profits out of a dying game.
No one here should be surprised, the only way to really complain and have an actual effect is to close your wallet.
I have. 🖖
Is there any update on fixing the broken anomaly nodes in Voyager space? Thanks.
So basically, as long as we advertise the game with our Reel, without saying how dodgy things are, we can get a chance for some goodies? That is the latest announcement, right? I mean, I'd count this as general feedback...
I quit and uninstalled the game before this arc. Best decision (I'm a player from day 1)
This will be the... 3rd time Scopely claim to have fixed the battle logs bug?
This game freezes up too much and I have to close it and open it far too often
hi to all ! 😀
I did like the legacy Reel. It was quite good. I do wish it had some other things like start date, 10 min chests collected 🤣 etc. But if you think I am advertising this game on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Tik-Tok, you are insane. This game has so many issues right now.......... You all just sugar coat important issues and concentrate on the new and shiny. The game (you say) is sticky. I say its the community that's sticky and you are slowly peeling them away......
On IOS during takeovers my game crashes every 3-4 minutes
@tacit obsidian @royal solar please can we get a fix for the ios scaling issue, i already have a small screen and losing all that real estate to a bug makes it hard to play. couple that with the recent change to how the faction screen looks and now I have to scroll through columns of rewards with only two items per row to get to things.
This is what my screen looks like on a 2023 model of an iphone. everything highlighted in yellow is dead/lost space.
@crisp dome @torn saffron @twilit mango by comparison, this is what it looks like on the pc version.
For me it's more about the playability. At the moment the zoom bug is out of control, it freezes regularly and the lag makes me go and do something else. Even pulling my dailies is painful, it just gets worse as I try to play. PvP is just idiotic. Fix the bugs and maybe it will be worth loading
lag has been rough the last few days, both on PC and ios, using home internet and cellular.
So you're the reason the wait time is so long!
you need to change that graphic to add the words: "... and we have closed all those tickets in 30 seconds or less without fixing anything"
I’ll turn to dust before they get to that. They probably know it’s broken but new content must reign supreme over making players reload the game multiple times to be able to mine.
or, the last one is still open because they're asking if you need help with anything else.
that seems low... 🙂
You need to refund people for the station delay prime and disable that research. You have absolutely destroyed the meta. One of the worst decisions you’ve made this year.
Focus more development time on bug fixes instead of new features and more monetization
scopely will sell whatever they know the whales will buy, because noone else is buying the dodo they trying to offer up. They have no idea what sells and what tanks because they are fresh out of school and think money is something that rains down. zero understanding of game mechanics, and a basic human behaviour grad thats incharge of packs.
I dunno about all of that.
What I do know is that until they fix reporting and alerting when a base is hit, they might slow down on that stuff. We had a guy in our alliance who was getting raided while he was online and didn't get any alerts.
Need to be able to do bigger pulls on standard recruiting I have over 30k, and in the current form I'll never be able to pull.
@vale wasp Does anyone else have the bug that since the update yesterday a crew is always deleted in the officer default setting? If you save it again it works for a few hours and then it's the next crew's turn to be deleted
Fix the Monaveen f2p path
Right now there are 3 territories with the buff to get it
All those territories are controlled by untouchable alliances
You’re making it impossible to get the monaveen while not spending on it
Crew presets disappearing after getting a new slot and saving a new crew has been around for a very long time. Super annoying
Join bigger alliances. That's the BS I always hear. There shouldn't be just one style to the game but might seems to make right.
Lol yeah no that’s not for me. The biggest alliances are the least friendly and most power hungry
They’re legit thinking spenders should have a lot more to say on the server than non spenders and lower levels
Oh, I agree completely. Our server is in the process of trying to put full control of our RoE in the hands of the biggest spenders and most powerful alliances. It's pathetic bullying at best.
counter point, the people who are insane enough to want to get involved in server politics are usually the most active and engaged players, and playing more does lend to being in bigger alliances / larger ops...
which is why they're always over-represented on ROE discords
I find it strange scopley pushes us [ by rewards system / madas / territory / you name it ] to join larger and larger alliances. It feels against what is good for them. If every server, say had the top ten allainces more equalized in power. It would naturally increase competition, pvp and spending. Guess I shouldn't give them ideas........
Literally, if you can't beat them, and want what they have... join them 🤣
Actually, we have a number of smaller alliances involved. Only two people from each alliance are really allowed access to the RoE discussions so it doesn't matter how big an alliance is past that point. ETA: I don't want what they have. I don't care. I just hate bullying.
I see the armada spawning rate has been screwed up yet again to were it takes forever for an armada to respawn
There's no proof of bot use there though it's certainly possible.
He's not even scoring in the most effective way though switching between rare and epic
Last event it was constant for about 40 hours, Same rotation of HF, same timing
So far this event it's been going for 20 hours non stop, avg of 1600/hr points. Maybe adjusts the order every 6-8 hours, changes names. I just want to be able to blow him up. That way he can't just set it and forget it, he's got 3 maxed northstars and the solid pvp crews. So most 17-21s cannot do anything to him
Remove and refund #delaygate
scopely dont care about bots. every time you submit a report, they ask for proof ... proof you can only supply if they give you access to their logs ... which they wont. disgusting fraud of a company, promotes botting - this issue extends back many years, its not just recently
Wether that player is botting or not, it has no real impact on their profit. Until it does, no one cares(at Scopley). This goes for everything(not just botting)
Don’t know how feel about the game , but I can honestly say that these past 2 yrs have really ruined much of the game. From the several severe screwups that made the game unplayable to screwing up of how armadas work to the severe lag times. Armadas used to be good where you killed unc you got some rare derectives to do the rares and rares gave epic . Now it takes way longer then an hour in many systems before armada responds, doing unc gives epic rare gives epic and epic gives epic making it nye impossible to do rare. Then you get these stupid events that say you have to do rare or epic to score when you used to be able to score even by doing unc ones , on top of that this bs of saying score by doing armadas rare or epic without specifying so people who spend armadas tend to get screwed then when launch a complaint about it they go and say oh it means only regular fkr armadas. If you don’t specify then it should be any armada . You do know companies been sued by not specifying things.
Doing armadas here last few weeks has been the absolute worse with there slow as a snail respawning from like 10minutes on up to pretty much all day just waiting to get one to respawn . Way to slow
You know, it might be best not to require people to share videos that result in copyright strikes...
Who is this 'NoWon' on a pack in the store? Sounds like a loser.
I'd love to add my legacy reel for the contest but the file is too big.
If you check #1163747814434668585 you’ll see that people are posting links and not vids
I shouldn't have to be forced to look at Nowon in the store....😑
I did see that. How is that done?
Thanks for the heads-up. I figured it out.
Might want to get familiar with this concept and avoid it.
PSA had an older guy come into my shop today....Had a popup that went full screen on his computer saying he had a virus dont shut off his computer. Call this number......called the number and they removed into his computer had him get a 85k check from the bank.
We have warp 900 systems in the anomalies space - voyager systems.
But why the voyager doesn't have a better warp range when maxed ?
TOS scotty + Grush + Scotty to get w900
I have to cut some cargo crew officers to have the warp range..making the last system...not this good with less cargo
And
We don't have acces to new things when maxed...i was hoping to be able to do 4* pulls...and not just 5* pulls for parts
Because scopy is ALL about diminishing returns. They punish you for advancing, and ridicule you for holding.
When you max the Voyager and maxed research for Voyager warp range, you can happily reach warp 900.
Yea, thats the frustration with voyager, always things a little out of reach lol
Hey guys, is there no spend event tomorrow? I didn't find anything in the calendar. ✌️
Is the massive typo in the "Sum of It's Parts" event intentional?
Please stop with this stuff. If we're going to recruit an officer, let us recruit an officer without adding random other officers we may not want (or already have a free path to obtain them). While this game has always had a pay to win element, the pay to win element has gotten completely out of control over the last couple years.
Every time I load this game I get booted within two and a half minutes it's been happening for the last month and a half and it's getting quite annoying
I would like to say bye now because Server 104 miss understands me if my reason stays currnnt system where my ally raided .. but they don't stay currents ystem just shut up.. that is why I want say thanks and bye
I can confirm that in any case. Even if you submit videos, nothing happens. That's a free pass.
Yea but don’t you want the last 5 of ransom?
Dear scopely, the new station delay prime should be removed, comp buyers with new officer that either synergises with ROM, or has the same ability as an officer skill. This would then be a more balanced approach as ROM would then be valuable and not useless any longer + there still remains a small counter (kras) that can reduce, but not fully negate the 'package' : for example 2 officers with synergy adding another 2 rounds of delay (3 total), partial negation by kras to 2 rounds. THIS is what i call BALANCED -> because theres no 'crit officers' as the bridge is full of the 'ROM SQUAD' this also negates most of the current 0 crit dmg issue TOO. What postrate couldnt think of this as a solution?
8 trial bells! That’s 10% of the free daily chest and 32% of a “useful” amount. Make it 25 or nothing than this thin gruel on an ops50 + season pass reward track.
What's the rationale for the ops 50+ refining not giving more Progenitor Alloys and increasing the costs significantly? Teams are being punished by players being high level since they can't source the Alloys needed to activate territory services
Milestone 18 has 242 trial bells, so it'll balance out to 250, but I 100% agree that it should have been 25 and 225 instead of 8 and 242
Yeah the psychological of it is something they need to work on. Even 250 trial bells will work out around 4000 protomatter. It’s not nothing, but effort to reward is low.
@tacit obsidian is scopley going to acknowledge their cluster of a maintenance that occurred earlier this month and how badly it messed with many servers, and their ability to complete the events? Are we going to get any sort of compensation for that screwup? Being silent on the matter is really frustrating and shows lack of care on their part for their customers and users.
How is the no won pack ?
Really? No event for tokens this weekend?
Dear Scopely,
i am furious! 😡 the orig. strike teams are now useless.
the new isolytic PvP crew completely obliterates the usefulness of strike teams - may as well put Badgey as captain. the game is no longer enjoyable, and gaining the new iso officers is next to impossible and/or takes far too long to acquire just a few shards, which knocks me out of PvP.
if Scopely's direction is going to be to continually negate my hard work, then i just might tell Scopely to pound sand and leave the game for good.
hm. 🤔 "reverse payment" immediately after buying something? 🤣 i mean, if Scopely can cheat, then so can i!
Dear @tacit obsidian
How many quality of life improvements and game economy changes can be locked behind a paywall before the game itself is broken?
Answer: we passed that threshold.
Primes should be there to skip grind and advance more quickly, not to create a completely different playing environment for payers.
The whale game has a subscription fee of about $2,000/month and anything below that is being pushed out entirely.
If you want to keep players:
- all Primes need a grind path
- all new Primes materials (dolomite, valor emblems, etc.) need reasonable sourcing in the game (voyagers 3 year pathway to one level of one multi-level prime is not adding it to the game)
Such a big improvement. Am looking forward to the next arc
hahahaha, they shrunk the claim boxes to 2 per row, to solve the issue of flipping the models, DIDNT SOLVE IT @tacit obsidian . return to 3 claims per row tyvm. incompetent change needs reverting ty
Here's your feedback - restarting the game to get it playing every 20 mins (and that's being generous) is not fun. In fact, it's the complete opposite of fun. Getting a black screen when you shift to a research page, or a station build page is not fun. The only time the "network issue" sign disappears is when the game has flaked out and is unresponsive. Spend some of that whale money on more backend functionality, cause I'm done with playing powerpoint presentations..
Hmm more issues. Lagged so bad today that it froze, shutdown, or this.
I did provide prove once, written admittance that the player botted and started botting again. Nothing happened.
yea, the game is dying, they have to keep players beliving it isnt with bots and fake stats. every time you install is +1 because you have to play 10 minutes before you can put your id in to restore your account (new devices), one of the many tricks they use to inflate numbers
Yep but if you write about it here you will get kicked from this discord. Violating game rules appears ok, violating discord rules isnt
That’s because this Discord server isn’t run by Scopley employees lol
The RNG for these hostiles dropping Commerce Insignia is ridiculous. It should drop a chest every time
Dunno why the website points to this channel instead of the website's owners, but...
On stfc.space under missions, when you search for missions that reward the Damaged Datapad, it only shows the Klingon one? There's nothing on the site to identify who updates/owns it, just a link to here for feedback.
So, there's my feedback. Doesn't show all missions that reward the Damaged Datapad, lol
And it got worse. This is garbage
battle pass came up 10k short done all events do we get one monday? 410k completed all event 425k needed full completion
i'm missing 15k, battlepass ends in a little over 23 hours.
an alliance member is also reporting missing some BP points.
not spending scopey compo time then hehe
The bp ends today.
@tacit obsidian @royal solar you have a serious imbalance of power when it comes to the iso officers. Ransom needs to be on and explorer and morale which can happen turn 1. It is not as bad. Battleships are completely hosed over. Skaxs needs to be on a battleship and burning, the iso damage boost WILL NOT OCCUR until at least turn 2. And there is a change it won't occur at all. The fill strike team for interceptors and explorers will always, 100% occur. This is broken and imbalanced, especially when 98%+of fights are over turn 1 and 95% are over the first weapon fired.
I thought those dropped faction messages only, hence no chests
They have a chance to drop a chest that has Commerce Insignia. It's the only way to speed up progression on the Field Training for Commerce Insignia
That’s the summoned or free flying ones? I haven’t frequented those systems in a bit, but now i think harder, i did get some from the summoned cubes some while back
I killed 3 and got 1 chest with 100 insignia in off the 3rd one
that's what it's been like for me in the past...this time it was lousy. And yes, the summoned hostiles
i'd do more, but i made the mistake of tiering up voyager too much and now im cursed forever or something
I hate that they tied the pickle to 3* territory. It’s tough for mid size alliances that are at the whims of the kingmakers. Losing a lot of strength due to players having to jet off for sourcing.
I’m getting no loot from any of my kills! Server 34
Me too. Lost a token to Actian space. Mantis collected nothing.
have you killed more than 2000 hostiles in the last 19 hours?
Probably. Is that what causes it? Thanks.
There really needs to be a way to track where we are towards that 2k daily limit
The tracker is: have you spent more time in game clicking attack more times than is entirely necessary or healthy for an idle time phone game. If your device says you are spending more than 2-3 hours a day in the game, you have issues, and that’s being generous on time.
You can also hit it with farming ship XP. Since it is 1 hostile per minute, so 4 ships could mean in 8 hours grinding out 1,920 which covers most it...so, hitting it in your sleep is definitely possible
Even if you have the territory, the sourcing is still pretty bad… depending on when they do the next reset, people might not get the ship even if their alliance took one of those territories in week 1…
That’s coz they never bothered to fix the timer after launching it without actually making sure the service worked. Territory capture is Saturday, collection day is Tuesday 😒
Even if it worked properly at launch, I’m not sure if the pass was long enough? Maybe it is, but I think the math on it seemed pretty tight (my alliance does not have it so I’m less sure)
i have been saying this since the start of the previous arc, and noone bothered to listen. there were chances to fix it, but like i said: nooone listened
I was spending around £600 to £800 a month on the game until Scopely introduced this massive imbalance. Consequently I have spent nothing on the game for 6 weeks and will continue not to spend any money. Scopely isn't listening and is simply trying to extract as much money from the whales as possible. I'm not a whale but if enough people like me stopped spending maybe, just maybe, they might start to listen.
Currently scopley wont listen, their reaction to the reduced sales is to ramp up the costs, and then blame the whales for not buying the new primes. SO they make even more broken primes to promote a buy. Instead of actually fixing the game store which would infact remedy their issue for the entire future of the game instead of this short-sighted money grab they keep having to invent new primes every month.
imagine scopely: your current need to keep dreaming up new packs every month? OR: fix the store and never need to worry about having to introduce new primes every month?
one of these has a future, the other does not (matrix)
(i know you cant add up so ill state it plain: fix the store)
I reported it and blocked
Oooh change it to “must have spent money” to enable IMs! 😈
Does scopley actually even look at when you report a player? I know one player on our server has been reported many times server wide for racist, homophobic, sexist, child molester like names and comments and they are still here. What should be the next step?
Reports should always be followed up with a ticket.
I haven't ever seen one.
Contact CS if you wish to report behavior that breaks the ToS. #👽-how-to-contact-support
Yupp cause we haven't 100k times already and just like CS it gets pushed aside and nothing gets done. Thanks, cheers!
Exactly
Get rid of the event BP Tab, I lost out on two days worth of events because of the new format. Its really bad. Some of us don't care about the territory event stuff, so put THAT on a seperate tab and leave the monthly bp event where it always has been, the front of the main screen so you don't miss it. Whoever thought that was a good idea, no, just no. How about you do something useful instead and fix some bugs, or maybe sort out the armada stuff, find something to do with all that useless currency we have in our vault. The event tab change was a useless waste of time, and your money cause guess what, I didn't buy anything and its making me not want to put any more money in your pockets because you are 'fixing' things that don't need to be fixed, instead of fixing things that do.
I love this Borg event. First time seeing something like this.
I need latinum. I do the AT, I do the clat pulls daily, I’m still running out. I won’t play any longer if any upgrade or research takes 4 months.
Ask them who your local law enforcement should contact to follow up on their efforts. Also report to Google/Apple/Amazon as the game is marketed as suitable for minors
My big question is...do they even monitor this chat page for comments. Oh my mad they don't give a damn !
vent room only
must be really hard to do the maths so we dont everytime end up with leftover currency from an eventstore... at least delete the trash out of the inventory from time to time. that would help finding what were looking for
🖖🏻
@tacit obsidian @royal solar 👆
I feel your concerns, but the content that you don't want to see in the game doesn't belong here either. I've already escalated this issue earlier today, and suggest that you continue to both use the report button and filing a corresponding ticket with CS as you feel is needed.
silly question did this game used to be on facebook ?
no, the paid advertising may have appeared on facebook, it would of taken you to the client download, game isnt of the 'quality' for facebook to host it... and thats saying something (if facebook could host it that is)
Thank you for escalating the issue. But I'm not sure I'm going to continue wasting more time doing the same thing we've been doing for almost a year. I think its clear there isn't actually a human assigned to the task of removing these players. I hope this route resolves the issue.
Lat is not the only thing you will run out of. No need to rush things and take it easy. Do dailies and get the speed ups inorder to reduce the lat depence. This game is a long term project unless you want to drop stupid money to progress.
I'm very paced player and I use slb's to progress. However, building/research times have dramatically increased (yes, I do efficiency and speed researchs first) that soon I won't be participating in any slb at all!
As you develop your research...the build times are going to get longer. The self appeasing, high fiving, back slapping Devs want peeps to buy prime packs etc inorder to keep up with recycled content and not actually make the content moderately competitive.
Hello I am new can someone invite me to server 100 please and thank you
The S100 discord server? I'd check #🕵-server-discord-links2 if it's there, or ask in-game for a link.
Where is Incursion 🍴 Where is Incursion 🍴 Where is Incursion 🍴 …..😂😂
I really miss the message count on the top status bar. I could care less about commendation tokens, and the allegiance token is the first thing you see in faction store, so redundant and unnecessary to display them on status bar.
I especially don’t like scrolling thru the faction store just to see my message count, since too many accidental purchases have been made by just scrolling thru the faction store.
Bring back message count to status bar. Please!
I have bought so much on accident in the faction store it's ridiculous 🤣
The battle progresses an extra 4 secs after the timer for a total of 8-10secs. This is not acceptable!
I would just love it if this game didn't completely lose connection every time there's the slightest change in Internet connection. Cell service gets just a tad weaker: Disconnect and reload. Cell service gets stronger: Disconnect and reload. Why are there still lag issues? That's why. Any change in internet connection, good or bad, causes a timeout. It's less noticeable on PC, but still has the same issue.
Today on Kamin 78 there are constant crashes for players on all types of devices. I have several players who have had enough. Many high-level players don't feel they are getting anything for the money they spend on this game. Please take note Scopley. If your business model is to alienate your player base, you are doing a great job. It's way past time to address the ongoing issues and fix the programming and instability in this game. God knows you are making enough money. You have a responsibility to the players to provide a reasonably quality service when you charge them money to play. Take Heed
PVP events like today make me NEVER want to spend another $$$ on your game!! Couldn't be anymore unfair
I'm not even trying. Night off
1 community manager, 5 Devs, and 4 Mods online and not one comment on the glitches. Great job guys
Nice job scopely for letting the whales beat up everyone . Unfair and unbalanced
At least your server isn't crashing your game every time you try to do anything.
Server 14 is a mess as well. I have trying to navigate to repair a ship for over 2 hours now.
Why no Incursions?
And don't get me wrong, the two PVP events before this I had a great time at!! Its not that I don't like PVP its this event is poorly thought out and just no fun whatsoever!!! As a level 32 lets just smash my ship 30+ times into a level 49 so I can score in the event...
Actually, those sms are easy and it doesn’t matter if you win, points also count for loosing, just get the sms done…and be happy about the loot. The SLB and ALB matter…
@rigid vapor Locutus in Borg event store 💜🙌 ….just wished, I can pull more 😂
@tacit obsidian @royal solar REALLY. Now that base logs are working you really want to hose players over. With rom, attacks csn delay yoir base for 3 turns. This is unacceptable. Pay to ceack bases is broken. Why? WHY DID YOU DO THIS?
This is an always on. 2 rounds for all ships. 3 rounds with rom as captain. You need 2 officers for a chance, A CHANCE to counter. Kras fan stop rom but there is no guarenteed way to stop prime station delay. What is the point in playing when whales crack you with a miner!
They only care about making money, next they will make a prime that counters that prime.
5 bil in trit repairs is not a win when all fights are a lose to whales.
My Tali is max for my ops, with all upgrades possible, which is 54 currently. My repair is 1B 👀😂 and I own 4,4T trit….(raiding is good 😄🏴☠️) and my Tali can beat bigger 😄 just today, mine is 117M…beating a 135M Tali. I did either with Dukat or freeman crew vs. Dukat and freemen’s crew 😄 my Q court is lvl 11, Bajo max. I’m okey 😄 sooo looking at your 5B repair…there is some research to do…and I do even have some reseaches left of repair ress reduction 😄 and no….I don’t own any payed ress repair…besides those primes you get for free by time 😄
Your entire arguement is invalid due to an over use of smiles.
