I've had good results with Lorca, Jaylah, E-Data (w/ Hugh BD)

[boreal flame]

the "gift" is a bad joke right? i got 750 syndicate xp out of it.
it feels like i lost something instead of getting a gift.
Next time if you want to please the playerbase start acting like you really care about something else then only the money

[rough belfry]

So according to the FB post showing the schedule, there is no incursions, right?
<@&509690795536941056>

[sacred garden]

Armadas when armadas first came out:
Unc armadas having credits and rare armadas, rare armadas gave rare credits and epic armadas, epic armadas gave epic credits and some armadas. Now you do armadas and it’s just credits so it’s 3x harder to do any armadas unless you can afford to buy them . Used to like doing armadas when they first came out , nowadays only armadas I really like doing is solo for there rewards are how the original armadas used to be. Now the original armadas just plain suck as much as trying to get regular borg and doomsday armada tokens to run those. Supposedly your supposed to get reg borg and doomsday from borg probs and doomsday worms but I ain’t never seen it.

How the heck does subtracting 100 credits equal the amount you are subtracting? 300 credits is no where near 1k

[serene dragon]

@tacit obsidian Where have the Nanoprobes gone from the Away-Teams?????? Used to get 2 or 3 a week, now I don't think I've had 2 or 3 in the last 2 months. 💩💩

[quaint haven]

They’re still there, had 3 this week

[charred cosmos]

Can confirm I just got one 2 days ago

[serene dragon]

They're like Rocking Horse 💩 since I got to Ops 39.

[quaint haven]

I didn’t get many at 39, but I also didn’t need them. I had about 70M inerts when I moved up and could upgrade the talios again

[serene dragon]

They were a 'Godsend' when they were coming regularly through ATs. Now I have to grind for them along with every other thing you need that has been added in the last year.

[vernal ore]

Why the sudden 1D 23h golden shield?

[quasi wren]

Best results with crew shown with Tindi and Paris BD with 80 & 200% explorer dmg exo and cerritos boost. But still about 30 mill left. Thx for crew info though

[elder hornet]

Great gift!! Get 2000 “coins” spent them and got nothing? What a joke

[warped vault]

Gee.. thanks for the 1 shard.. So Generous..

[brazen siren]

Awesome pairing for incursion.. Server recently ascended to 50 paired with a server capped at 60.. What happened with pairing servers of similar power.. 🤦‍♂️

[rough birch]

Two wish list items. 1. a garage feature where you can see or scroll throughall your ships, which ones are eligible for upgrades, etc. If you have all your ships out of dock or damaged or tiering you can't simply look at your arsenal. 2. Over the years I've forgotten friends because of name changes or bad memory. Why no social function whereby you can add friends (or enemies) so we can keep in touch. There's a dude in my alliance that has known me since my day 1 but he joined my alliance recently with a different name and I had no recollection of him. Otherwise- love the game

[delicate jewel]

Kang, SSpock, Jaylah, below deck: hugh mariner, paris, penetration, max officer bonuses
Use cerritos and max fortification if possible

[quasi wren]

I'll try that next. Currently have ALL of the 2* locked up with that swarm ship

[red cliff]

Is it just me or has this NX01 set of arcs really really messed up the lore of star trek? Yes I know its never been a well kept lore in the first place. But...

1. why the heck is xindi dropping exborg credits? Why are they in the borg store in the first place?
2. why does trip tucker have a BLD that's about hirogen and species 8472. he has nothing to do with voyager and delta quadrant which is 300 years and a galaxy length away?
3. why does a NX enterprise, the weakest ship in the entire series, start out at like 20m+ power while the borg cube, the strongest recurring ship in the entier series...start out at like 2m power?

I'm just completely baffled by some of these things recently. Can't you try to make it somewhat coherent?

[molten jungle]

Scopely QA at its best. All caps and a random character.

[crude sandal]

I think that one is meant to be Maia glitching

[finite mural]

it is, there are a few of em when you get near the singularity and the assimilated hostiles

[true zealot]

It would be cool if the paklids would ask for vahklas or other loot hulls as an event. To reward relevant rewards as a trade.

[strong geode]

Single leader board now is criminal you scopely theives.

[hardy osprey]

The drop rate of Excocomps that give a Gas mining bonus is not correct. I have not gotten any Gas Excocomps in months

[lucid socket]

Thats not how statistics and percentages work. Sorry to tell you that you are just having bad luck

[willow raven]

Speak for yourself. I think my t1 token gave me 600 syndicate. Look at the posted drop rates. It’s like 90% t1 which with scopely math is 99%

[sinful walrus]

anyone know why the free archer shards gift is ops limited? lower ops not getting it

[vale wasp]

That issue has been escalated, just waiting on the response.

[sinful walrus]

I'm told it's been rolled out now

[sacred garden]

Thought what you pull is supposed to be random twice now back to back I’ve pulled the exact same thing xindi t1 medal doesn’t seem random to me

[rich elm]

it's better then the 2x T1 tokens I got for a lousy 120 ultra recruit tokens or 750 syndicate rep each ...

[quasi wren]

OK tried this crew. had a 200 + 50% damage exos, Cerritos boost and regular fortify. 108k hull remained on my ship. IMO expensive hostile to kill especially for a 2* trial

[abstract python]

The same rubbish again! The whole sipel is..... And again with a probability of 0.0000000000000000000000001%!! Thanks I now have 2 useless tokens! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

[sacred garden]

No it’s not the xindi t1 token only allows to get the 750 syndicate or other stuff I’m not after . At the rate I can get nx01 from exborg store it’s going to be next year before I get that ship. I refuse to buy it or anything else for $ 100 nothing in this game or any game is worth $100 dollars

[modern cypress]

£99.99 for x20 Ransom shards
£99.99 for x20 Billups shards

Is this some kind of early April fool?

For £99.99 I want a full unlock, and for £49.99 I want a half unlock.

What an absolute con!

[final plinth]

to be fair at least two of my guys got lucky and pulled a free NX-01

[finite mural]

They're not officer packs, the officers are just extra. It's a station and research pack, with extra in it.

[abstract python]

You write as if it means something. Everyone knows that Scopley is not known for giving players something good for free. Let's not be so naive!

[vale wasp]

The Archer shards have gone out to those G3 affected already. If you haven't received them, I'd clear localization and reboot before checking gifts again.

[drifting bane]

Oh boy zindi t1 medals wahoo , we can get the same crap we get everyday wahoo

[sacred garden]

Really would wish to have a way to see all the related missions for the ones I need for getting certain tech done, been having a heck of a time trying to find those and the internet info is of no help

[long lagoon]

Your response was better than mine apparently. They deleted mine…. Give em H E double hockey sticks.

[sinful walrus]

$copely would rather have 10s of people paying 000s each week than 000s of people paying $10 each week. Keep squeezing that stone, $copely

[long lagoon]

Territory BP (100) x Wave BP (300) x Normal BP (300) x Officer flash pass (300) x Treasury (600) = $1600 per person a quarter. Roughly 1000 people per server.. assume 1/4 buy all the passes. 250 x 1600 = $400,000. There are 221 servers , approx…. 400000 x 221 = $ 88,400,000 revenue per quarter not including normal packs for new ships, research and primes…. Apparently i need to design a phone game.

[wraith dune]

@tidal notch Hi 👋 lovely to read all about you ...but what does CM mean and what can you do for us meager players in stfc lol

[tidal notch]

Community Manager. I'll be here to take feedback from you peeps back to the team. Could be thoughts about new arcs or mechanics or if something breaks I''ll be letting the team know what's goin on.

Also, I'll be interacting with the community and really getting to know everyone here. I have some ideas I'd like to try out once I'm actually up and running.

[long lagoon]

Here is a thought.. with that revenue, get competent programers and enough servers so an alliance on alliance fight doesn’t shut down the server with lag. You know, maybe care about the people spending the money just a little.

[median peak]

Are you the same hamster that fluffysheep on server 55 deals with?

[torn basin]

What happened to domo?

[wraith dune]

Nice people 🙈give her/him/them a chance before judging...it's only been 10min since announcing the new titel😂👍
Ok 30min lol

[nova sierra]

We've heard it all before, and even the simplest changes are not addressed.

[long lagoon]

Same title, same crap with a different person.

[sinful walrus]

@tidal notch nobody will blame you, it's just the way $copely works

[delicate jewel]

And what about eco? Is he still around?

[stark lintel]

Did you happen to read the % chance for each type of pull? There’s an 83% chance of a tier 1 medal. That’s why you got the same thing.

[low kraken]

Is scopley customer support rated based on issued closed? They don’t even give a player the opportunity to respond before closing the conversation. I am sorry, I do not spend all my time playing your game, I do have other things going on I real life. If you really do not want to provide customer service, then say so and eliminate the help desk.

[sacred garden]

Nope it’s just good old scopley greed

[haughty tendon]

scopley customer support actaully are great at supporting scopley bugs and bad launches (arc's) dont ever think they are there for customer's because they most definitely are there for scopley played almost from the begining and sadly at ops 64 its become clear scopley is set up to exploit the player, i have so many screen shots where one customer support agent say's one thing then within hrs contridicted by another customer (alienation agent) support rep, so now any issues bugs etc i look for my own work around as i have learnt raising a ticket can be so demoralising, yes hooked on the game but scopley are actually supplying the detox by becoming even worse at seeing what their customers want,

[atomic harbor]

Ok .. people complained about who can join their waves and you gave them the ability to kick someone out ... so then, give the person kicked out their credits to join the wave back. Not my fault they didn't want me there. It shouldn't still cost me the credits if I am booted from a wave.

[haughty tendon]

@atomic harbor bad mechanics from designers who by the look of recent content dont have a clue about what their customer base want from the gane

[magic narwhal]

I’m gonna start hanging out over here instead for your unrivaled expertise. 😇😎

[tidal notch]

https://tenor.com/view/sen-sap-gif-20154815

[plucky dove]

your credits are not taken until the wave starts, so leaving or getting kick cost you nothing

[atomic harbor]

That's a lie. Had 8000 credits. Went into a two waves, got kicked out of one. Went to join a third and only had 7800 credits. Didn't get the credits back for getting kicked out of that wave.

[hot monolith]

If president/leader of all things/the real Q/I am the creator of all great things/Eco, is moving on/up. Can you take over fixing g6 economy, before I get there?
Thanks in advance,and good luck on your next venture/chapter. 👋 are a great addition. 🖖

[stark lintel]

Your credits aren’t taken until the wave starts, so you’ve lost nothing.

[ionic bay]

Is there anyways to transfer to another server if your lvl 32 when your bullied off server from none stop harassment?

[atomic harbor]

The amount of credits that I am missing tell me otherwise. Had 8000, went into two waves one after the other. Got kicked out of one. So when I went to join the next one only had 7800. 100 credits each time to join. The math says you are wrong

[finite mural]

You're mistaken, the credits aren't spent until the wave starts. Note if the game kicks you after a wave is started, you don't get a refund.

[icy kettle]

Honestly I think people are right but only true way to know is have a friend start a wave. Join. Get booted. But check before and after just out of curiosity. But given this is stfc both sides could be right. Intention is not too. But wave bugs. Well. Happen

[sullen matrix]

People are very sensitive these days and have a wide rage of what they consider bullying.
It's a pvp game, hunting people is fine.
Ignore GC, block people.
I had support chat ban people who used to insult a lot before.
Alternatively you can just go radio silent and change your name after a while, as long as you are not in the PD leaderboard or on any block list people will lose track.

Might provide examples here

[median peak]

Yep........ but how dare you touch their ship man, it just ain't right to touch other people's things 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[sullen matrix]

If a game provides a traumatic experience for you, you are overly sensitive and might look for a game not featuring pvp/multiplayer.

You just throwing out accusations without proof

Whatever, you can already contact CS about that and also report it to the police.

[pastel path]

Guess we can all play candy crush.

[acoustic cloud]

is blowing your ships up and smacking your base cyberbullying?

[icy kettle]

Sadly. To some yes. Some also bring it upon themselves by talking tough and then regretting the response it causes

[pastel path]

I agree with the bully thing in that in chat people go to far. But there is a flip side to that I've seen people saying there ships getting hit is bullying. Wich is pvp period. So drawing the lines is crazy there are extremists on both side of that argument. If pvp is bullying they shouldn't play pvp games.

[icy kettle]

So combat in a combat game is cyberbullying. Mine as well rename the game bullyville. This is a combat pvp game. Not FarmVille. People are gonna get hit repeatedly. Heck does this mean base raiding is bullying since it can take hundreds of hits ???

[pastel path]

If you don't wanna get hit bye a train get off the tracks. Personal responsibility plays in. And reasonable expectations. You should expect to get pvped in a pvp game. But the chat should be civil for sure lol.

Lol I've pvped a few people but I'm always polite when they call me Satan haha!

[sullen matrix]

So basically you have proven my impression of you being overly sensitive and in the wrong kind of game.
No matter how much someone hunts your ships or crashes into your base, there's not a single bit of bullying in that and as someone who got bullied as a kid it's rather insultive to call it that.

You got 24 hours of free base shield, if your base is hit, that's your fault.
If your ship is hit, that's usually your fault aswell. Don't let them float in space, pay attention to who is approaching you.

[pastel path]

I'm to old to get all uppity over this stuff lol. But some people take it pretty serious. Amazes me some times. It is what it is I suppose.

[sullen matrix]

My base was sieged constantly in the past, I can't leave ships floating. It's a game, just pixels.
People have different playstyles, some find enjoyment in things others don't.
Sensitive casual usually don't like betting shot at, you either learn to live with it or look for a game more suited for you.

[pastel path]

Scopely should have made a few no hit servers. And allow people to buy a transfer token. And afew chaos servers and allow for people to move there. Lol

[sullen matrix]

Don't ever play eve online if this game is already too much

[pastel path]

@orchid burrow that's not necessarily a result of the gaming community and speaks to larger generational issues.

[sullen matrix]

It's a sandbox, everyone is free to play it their way.
Scopely do not regulate player interactions, that's why there are usually player made RoEs.
Infact, scopely encourages conflict and even warn you that mining is a dangerous activity when first doing that.

[pastel path]

Lol I got my behind lit up when I screwed up as a kid. And I was forced to take responsibility for my actions. Both teach you how to cope with negative situations. Both are now not happening.

[sullen matrix]

To be honest, I got my worst experiences in the game with adults, like heavy insults, threats etc.
And don't talk about the whales going rampage on f2ps..

Laugh it off, otherwise you won't find fun in this game

Too many assumptions based on your bias.
If you tell that to the ones shooting you aswell, I get a feel I know why they shoot you.

[pastel path]

Lol I think there are two different topics here. Haha!

Happy trails to both of you! So long and thanks for the fish!

[ashen mauve]

When you destroy too many hostiles and get loot locked when does it unlock?!

[pastel path]

1 hour after dailies reset

[median peak]

I'm 51 years old and you're exactly right about that, the massive lack of discipline is the problem....... even i have to say this got a bit off topic for the server let alone the channel lol

[crude sandal]

Hard to call it a generational problem when people were getting ganked in the 90s playing ultima 😂

[finite mural]

/grins and cackles

A game when you can lose everything and I did it to many many folks.

People just need to stop playing pvp games if they can't handle it.

[finite mural]

Your responses illustrate it well enough. The moment you claimed that hitting your ships or stations constantly is cyberbullying, online abuse or stalking, has pretty much explained all anyone needs to know. Anyway, I'm not playing this game. Off you go.

[crude sandal]

👀

Says the guy whos basing stuff on a join date that resets every time you leave and rejoin a server.

Bottom line, pvp in a pvp game is not considered abuse or bullying, it's called playing the game. If it crosses into the verbal side of things then its an issue, if someone is otherwise polite while they create a fine mist of your pixels across a system, it's not bullying. If y'all can't cope with that, then heat/kitchen/out/etc 🤷‍♂️

[nova sierra]

In my “professional opinion” players who view having their pixels blown up as bullying should find another game. This is a “warfare” game (or at least is advertised as such). Too many players ruin the game making it anything but the advertised warfare game with their FarmVille styles, ever increasing rules, and disdain for PvP. But those who claim PvP is bullying, huff… they’re like the boxer who cries about getting punched in the face…it’s quite ridiculous! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[halcyon coral]

Yeah - I wore death robes and killed everyone passing through Britannia cross roads using chain lightening and rapid fireballs. Corp Por, Vas Flam. I would then loot the dead corpse. Great days.

[wet meteor]

Considering how much the PvP in this game feels like a tacked on unthought about extra, this outlook explains much

[crude sandal]

I'd guess that 90+% of players just want to live and let live, which is why ROE is a thing... but murder-hobo is a valid option for gameplay too, providing they don't mind being targetted right back themselves 😂

[wet meteor]

True. It is satisfying seeing the "bullies" get the same treatment they've dished out to others. Back when I first played the game and got to the point where I was targetable for PvP but couldn't target anyone else I thought the PvP mechanics odd. As I played longer and discovered the PvP Ops target ranges I thought it was geared to encourage spending, then I played longer and realized it's geared to getting rid of long time low spend players and getting new ones in the door hoping they don't realize what the PvP/PTW system is like, while the Whales rule the server. These days I question why I still play... (and I'm by no means a FTP player)

[quick wing]

Feature requests

1. Enable locating alliance member bases through the alliance members page. Preferably starting with leadership.
2. Add attack notifications for fellow alliance members stations to the alliance combat tab. Had this in another game and I loved it.
3. Make incursions more involving by extending events that add in to a weighted score with server vs server events the days before the crossover event. For example Mondays are Lat Monday, so have mining totals for both servers with the winning server getting winning points.

[nova sierra]

I'll add to that, if you don't mind.

4. Give us a delete key for blueprints, materials, and resources that we will never use so we can clean up our inventories.
5. Allow us to take officers we don't use out of our active inventory. Place them in reserve status, discharge them, etc.

[vale wasp]

Please contact CS with your evidence. Posting on here with visible names isn't allowed.

[livid granite]

I’ll repost with the names removed, thx for the reminder

[livid granite]

Second attempt, sorry about the names in the first one but I removed them now.
So, my question to <@&509690795536941056> is how this can be allowed to continue, there’s clearly an exploit here being used by multiple players to influence the outcome of TC events.
I’d like to know where the team are up to in resolving this.
@tidal notch you don’t get to escape me just yet😃

[finite mural]

haven't seen them do anything about those guys yet

[lucid socket]

I suggest you do two things in this order...

1: Figure out how they are doing it...

2: Do it yourself...

That should fix things

[lunar oak]

In my endeavor to grind xindi as efficiently as possible I tried using my vidar with a 500% loot bonus.. unfortunately the exo does not work.

I of course activated it prior to leaving my base I'd that's the first thing you might ask.

[finite mural]

wish i could convert them to talios, really hate getting them from the solo boxes.

[lunar oak]

Your right it sais nanoprods doh!

[molten shell]

Worst exo ever. all of these exos released the same time as the Talios, when the OG Vidar became obsolete.

[soft vigil]

I just wish they would stop fooling around and do a really good washing of this game

[nova sierra]

@tidal notch I'd like to know your thoughts on these. I know people have been asking for a delete button for years. Seems like a simple thing that's never been acknowledged or addressed.

4. Give us a delete key for blueprints, materials, and resources that we will never use so we can clean up our inventories.
5. Allow us to take officers we don't use out of our active inventory. Place them in reserve status, discharge them, etc.

[true zealot]

Or give us Paklids to come and take our useless stuff once a month

[rough belfry]

Can we get this part of the upgrade screen a bit larger? It's near impossible to read accurately on my phone

[tidal notch]

Solid suggestions. I know I could really use a way to streamline my officers instead of searching by name every time. Ditto for unused bps and so on.

[true zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/not-the-hero-we-deserve-gif-13014154 Hami! the Hero we needed

[rough belfry]

Overall SS

[nova sierra]

So can you pass these on to The Overlords and tell them this is a simple fix that would greatly improve our quality of gameplay? What do you think the odds of them taking action are? I think it would be a small gesture that would indicate they are, at least sometimes, listening to the players.

[craggy sinew]

Why is there no wave defense points packs this run?

[tidal notch]

Think its a great quality of life improvement. Will pass on!

[true zealot]

especially if i can trade paklids trash and they give me treasure

[nova sierra]

I wouldn't even care about treasure. I'd just be happy to get rid of stuff. Heck, I don't even have garage sales any more, I just donate or trash stuff. 😁 And I have to wonder just how many Envoy or Phindra BPs the level 60+ players are sitting on, or how often they use the Cadet officers. Give me an "Airlock" button, and Wesley will be the first one I push out of it. 🤣

[true zealot]

but i'd be more likely to dump it for exchange of more relevant things

[finite mural]

A recycler to turn any bp or currency into a new currency that can be used to purchase useful stuff. All they need to do

[true zealot]

or a faction that is in need of ships.. those ships just happen to be my low level 20 to 30 trash that I have legion of. build them ships and they pay you rep or syndicate points, maybe even building mats. If competing against active packs is the issue, have it be something else they they can part with. Mycelium for example

[nova sierra]

Maybe a multi-use credit that could be refined into mats, lat, faction creds, or recruit tokens? That would be good. I'd love to see the exchange rates on THAT refinery. 😆

[rough belfry]

I don't understand why those exocomps are in the rare and epic borg solo chests. You can even open those until ops 40 and by then you should be using the Talios over the Vidar.

I wish there was some sort of exchange on these things.

[devout stump]

Hi - why did only some players have the option to purchase the Monthly Elite March Pack?

Please advise how I can get this same pack

[nova sierra]

If they adopt this change, I'm sure we'll al know it. If they won't, can you share with us why they wont? Also, if they do adopt it, I could use about 20K each 3* uncommon refined gas and ore right about now. You know, as a thank you for helping out the community. 😉

[nova sierra]

Can't blame a guy for trying. 😆

[woven atlas]

OK, did Scopely boost the power of the Level 40 Xindi today? I was killing 3 per hull with my Kelvin this morning, but now I can't even kill 1 per hull.

[vale gale]

Did you forget to remove hugh?

[woven atlas]

Don't have Hugh... Side note to <@&509691205798592532> Slow mode sucks when you are trying to reply to someone

The crew I am using is PMT with Marcus and Paris below deck.

[pastel path]

I'm in voxis right now grinding with same its working as normal. So it's not a game wide change

[woven atlas]

wierd

[pastel path]

From three down to 1 if you re checked crew slots is wierd lol

[woven atlas]

3 to none, I die killing the first one, with the same crew and ship.

[pastel path]

I'd reset everything then change out the crew and then put it back. Maybe something didn't click right sounds crazy but if you were laggy when you set the crew the game not adding in something etc. After that panic for sure lol command center changes etc.

[woven atlas]

Nope, restarted game, reset ship and crew, still nothing. Xindi just don't work right.

But...They are OP for level 40 hostiles anyway.

[pastel path]

Yea there crazy tough for sure.

[woven atlas]

Popped an Exo and got 2 kills then died

[pastel path]

A couple researchs and a couple components and you will be plowing thru em!

[quaint lynx]

Would like to see (as a QOL improvement) the ability to search for An officer by name above the list of officers when assigning them to a dock or away team and in the officer tab.

Would also like to have a hyperlink in the battle reports we can share to our alliance chat so others can view it for hit complaints and training. Another tab in the inbox where we view battle reports just for pvp and a collapsible battle report for base raiding so we don't have 200 of just the amalgam stealing some poor saps cookies.

Finally In The missions section, a list of completed missions with a date completed.

[woven atlas]

@quaint lynx I agree with the list of the completed missions, but they should also have mention of next in chain, or previous in chain linked to them.

[quaint lynx]

For missions that are part of a chain, I was thinking that the entire chain be listed with the individual missions in the chain completed and a date beside the mission completed. the current mission in the chain will not be there, as it is in the actual mission section. The current mission in the chain tells you that it is continued from mission X

[proven ore]

So the March rewards glitch does anyone know what's gonna be done about it ?

[crude sandal]

That's because this is a feedback channel and not a chat channel... #🤝-help-each-other perhaps?

It's absolutely got nothing to do with anything except them, it's hitting me too

[quaint haven]

Quit trying to pretend it’s my wifi and not your garbage servers that are the problem

[livid pasture]

Is the game unplayable everywhere? Can’t load systems, targeted hostiles don’t get hit, if I warp my ships never leave…

[ionic pasture]

Dumb to spend in this game get no feedback no reciprocity for losses incurred time for system boycott seems global at this point with one common denominator…scopely

[rich bobcat]

Can't load in stops at 70%

[north meteor]

Not just you. Game is network erroring to pieces.

[ionic pasture]

Even mcdonalds compensates you for cold fries….man up crapley

[acoustic sequoia]

yeah pretty much. my ships has been stuck in the same spot for 5 min now

[tough summit]

after being kicked can't join nor start another. restarting the device didn't change a thing

[livid pasture]

This is ridiculous. It’s been 30 minutes and still utterly unplayable. Can do like two actions (including just visiting a system) before reloading. And each action take a minute.

[fathom talon]

Experiencing the same issues

[fervent thunder]

Pure waste of time today. My ship has been recalled 3 times when I’m clicking a node, button is nowhere near the recall button.

[acoustic sequoia]

put up a shield before the entire servers crash lol

[split coral]

Yeah, 188 is not looking good right now, getting the same issues as described above. Great way to enjoy my evening... I'm throwing on a 1 day shield in case it all hits the fan.

[upbeat jungle]

In the low to mid 50s, it is hard to find things to spend uncommon/rare/epic. Can common materials be added to the Recruit events? It shouldn't be an issue because those are kind of limited too. Even 1 point per common would be real helpful.

[finite mural]

<@&509691205798592532>

[nocturne prawn]

So, THREE different armada events, all not counting for one another, on the same day, and to add to that the megacube event runs across incursion ? wow, that's.... thats a decision .. errm yeah

[quaint haven]

Aaaand the lag is back

[wind shell]

Plus the Archer sourcing is mostly heroic, especially for the Armada SMS

[cunning kettle]

Why can a level 54 hit a level 29? That is ubsurd!! I can never touch that level at my current one. Please make the hit level range better. This is very discouraging as a player to be hit by someone way to OP with no way to properly defend my ships.

That can only happen in territory

@tidal notch
2 months in a row with no faction hunt is ridiculous. Get rid of the stupid weekly apex and have a smaller weekly faction hunt.

[terse wing]

Can someone explain why they start incursion one hour before other events... why not start them one hour after, so those who don't want to participate can get their bits done them leave off for an hour

[sudden karma]

lose the 2k hostile cap!

it worked "back in the day" when it was introduced, but since there is far more "grinding" to be done it's now FAR too low.

double it, at least.

[scenic delta]

FACTION HUNT! I LIKE!

[true zealot]

Hopefully ya'll bring back a "Quality" faction hunt. Updated rewards would meet that requirement

[wind shell]

Turn one of the Xindi 34 systems into a higher sub 40. Such as a 37 (36-38) or 38 (37-39), the 34s-35s are helpful for those unable to go after the 40s, but another step towards 40s would be really great, especially with how long of a grind the 35s are...

[dire hazel]

There is an easy workaround to fix all issues with stfc... 1. have one ship in repair and one in tier up. 2. all other docks assigned miners on mining nodes. 3. log out. The game will work perfectly. If you INSIST on being logged on, avoid the following actions that were never intended to be part of the game....1. look at or scroll on the map. 2. change crews/ships. 3. PVP or PVE. 4. Look at your personal game menus. If you avoid these common mistakes you too can be online while your ships mine....

[south notch]

Mega Cube is not a replacement for Faction Hunt. Please bring it back.

[burnt fossil]

Because they doesnt want you to log off 😋😉

[modern crane]

Either an hour before or an hour after, you can still do this. It just changes the day you do it on. They said the event runs for 24 hours so you can do the events tomorrow an hour before reset.

[limber mesa]

most events can also easily be done during incursions.
you can't multi-task as easily, but you can often find a quiet system to do whatever you need to do.

[barren folio]

Um where is incursion

[earnest junco]

I found one invader on server #32

[nova sierra]

@tacit obsidian @tidal notch @vale wasp Pretty clear Scopely doesn’t care about all the broken stuff in todays incursion. To add to that, in-game bug reporting no longer lets you report bugs with screen shots!

[prime socket]

Q-trial hostiles that have 100% crit rate is just wrong.

[dim hemlock]

Lol scopely Monopoly go wont work now. Captive audience?

[tight cradle]

Because they don’t CARE!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[dawn night]

Hey Scopely.

As we speak , my ex alliance mates are raiding my base. I've let them know i'm quitting the game. I assume nobody here will care , but as the channel is called General-Feedback, I though I'd might s well try. You know , scream into the void.

I made it to ops 29. And I just wasn't enjoying it. At all. The amount of work and grind that was waiting for me every day sparked no joy. I understand that causing frustration might motivate people to buy more stuff, but it also causes people to leave your game.

The biggest problem at my level was the amount of systems and the time investment they asked off me. There are 9? 10? 12? different systems at my ops that demand my attention or risk that I fall behind. First of all there are 9 refineable resources I need to keep stocked (3 T3 resources , Lat , 1-2 data cores , 1-3 Territory resources) . Then there are 4 different enemy types I need to hunt daily. (Borg for my upgrades , Klingons for my dailies , Swarms for my probes and exchange) Meaning that you can easily end up having to hand farm 100-150 enemies daily. And clicking and waiting for stuff to happen is just... Boring. There are just systems built upon systems upon systems with their own micro currency to slow drip you any form of advancement. Here's 1/100th of a fifth of shot of the thing that looks very shiny. Hope you are ready to do your daily chores for the rest of the year! Or you know , pay us 100€!

And that other problem is that 100€. The pricing on these packs are just insane. 100€ for ship. 100€ for an officer. 100€ for a few chances on the roulette machine where you have a 3% chance of getting something good. 100€ is the price of a good game and then some. But here , it's the price of a ship. Unupgraded. So you can grind some more.

I know nobody at scopely will care. And I assume I'll get some "can I haz your stuff response". But here's hoping it gets better for the people that wish to stick out the grind

[torpid cargo]

Sounds like you need a break and are overwhelmed. Don't let Scoply do that to you. You don't "Have" to do everything every day. Unless your spending to keep up, your going to "fall" behind anyways. If you come back. Pick your three favorite things to do....and just do those.

Wiped them out ? I still have 1200 with their 600 comp chest.

not according to my event store... they want incursion coin 2... not incursion coin 1

[lime socket]

These are the coins used to buy the exos. Click on them and it’ll tell you.

[chrome vortex]

@tacit obsidian I'm sure you probably already know this but after incursions is over if you have the research EXO running it's using the only slot that you can use those other exos in. So when you say outside I hope you mean one week outside which is when that research or whatever XO expires.

[gritty stirrup]

Or else winners will lose

Yes because they’re not working. Read the announcement.

Um can’t attack miners on nodes so much for scoring points on op @tacit obsidian

[nova sierra]

Magaruis, this post has been on my mind from time to time today, and I've been digesting it, and I'm going to respond now. I think you fell into the same pitfalls I did early on. I'd like to make the point that I'm F2P. I make that distinction only because it's relevant to the conversation. Some people are P2P, and that's fine, I just choose to spend my money elsewhere or save it or invest it. Several times you mention the word "need". You don't really "need" to do anything in this game. You can choose how much time and effort you put in to it. You also mention falling behind. This is the trap I initially fell into myself. Fall behind who? Everyone progresses at their own pace. You're only competing against others' progress if you want to. Set your own goals and try to accomplish them, and stop worrying about how you're doing compared to other players. That's a fruitless endeavor. There will always be people who (seemingly) advance faster than you, but does that matter to your gameplay? Not really. You are you, and they are they. I'm going to break here, because I don't know how to create a line break on discord, so I'll post more after slowmode lets me. 😁

When I started this game, I thought it would be much different than it actually is. I really wanted to have an Enterprise for nostalgic reasons, but I didn't realize how hard it would be to get there. I haven't spent any money here, but I have done so in other games. The big difference here for me is the cost-to-benefit ratio. I don't see it, but others do, and lets be honest, the P2P carry the F2P players in the game. It's symbiotic, and it works. I, too, broke from my alliance and encouraged them to raid me, because I was sick of the grind and the effort required to progress. After a couple months, I came back with a new attitude. Progress at my own rate. Make some sort of sense of the chaos that Scopely has created. I missed the friendships and comeraderie of being in my alliance. That was the funnest part of the game. More in 5 minutes or so.

[trail zenith]

It's not enjoyable to get your station attacked and be locked in combat for 20s+ only to have your base hit 3 times during that without the first attack resolving. Quality over Quantity.

[nova sierra]

Now, I'm level 35, and I don't have any plans to move higher any time soon. I have my Enterprise, and I don't plan to move to level 36 until my Enterprise is maxed out, my researches are maxed out, and my Augur is is well on it's way to being maxed. I'm playing my own game, by my own rules, and can pick and choose which events to participate in. I don't "need" to do anything, I don't think I'm falling behind anyone, and the only one I'm competing against is myself. Magaruis, take a break, and see if maybe after a time, you might want to come back and play this game your own way. Cheers, either way 🍻

[nova sierra]

Scopley is money above any quality or quantity. They have no care for the lore, or the new players just discovering the game. Revenue is driving their decisions, and when the revenue goes soft, they will pull the plug. You can see it happening now. Devaluing of currencies, events that are only worthwhile to the highest level players, flawed releases with paltry compensation. The changes I've seen over just the past few months just cement this opinion. They are going to shelve this game, commit the current serves to a newer and more profitable endeavor, and that will be that. We all know what the new game is. Watch out for the server merges. They're going to slam us into smaller and more laggy servers until we quit. It's not unprecedented.

[abstract python]

Scopely!!! 🤬. Are you serious? What kind of useless logic and programming are you doing? You can keep that BS! What are you supposed to do with these 4 crap tokens? Scopely policy: Money is over quantity and quality.

[prisma breach]

The comp chest is just as useless. It’s the OLD incursions coins not the NEW ones. Total BS of a comp chest.

[quartz comet]

Today I installed my first G5 component on my Talios, the shield component took it from 42m in Power to 62m. Not only that but I also unlocked Syndicate level 33 giving me access to the "powerful" shield enhancements.

Excited to see what 20m extra power and pimped up shields made I rushed out to Mantis space to find out I could grind out ZERO extra hostiles. That's right, yesterday I was able to collect 800k in venom and today I can grind out 800k venom......

Well done done Scopley, well done....

[limber mesa]

added SHP doesn't do anything unless you actually use it.
added shield HP will mean it takes longer for your shields to stop absorbing 80% of the damage because they're depleted.
if they already didn't deplete, it means you already had 80% damage reduction for the entire fight and increasing the time you get that damage reduction does nothing.

so to benefit from SHP increases you need to either attack hostiles so strong they can deplete your shields during the fight, or you fight hostiles fast enough that your shields haven't recovered yet by the time you get to the next one.

[lapis shuttle]

Vidar PvP doesn’t count any points ☹️

[crude sandal]

Are you being shot by/shooting the right target ships for the event.
And are you on the right server for your event? Attacker/defender

[onyx hill]

This may be the wrong place to post this but I would like to see the scrap ability to include ALL ships in our fleet. After all we purchased them either with our REAL money or be earning shards so WE should have the right to decide what to do with them !

[lapis shuttle]

Yes and yes.

[crude sandal]

For incursion or the cube events?

[lapis shuttle]

Cube Events - phps incursion is interfering ?

[crude sandal]

Shouldn't be, have you got a screenshot of the event and the battle log you think should be scoring?

[lapis shuttle]

im flying to panak right now, testing

scoring now 🤔 hm. thx … don’t understand but it’s working now. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[graceful lotus]

It's early get hot cocoa or coffee. Fixes all

[median gyro]

It would be nice if the game actually told us if we were under attack.

[night ingot]

Did no get fully unlocked Janeway after lucky pull and said new

[vale wasp]

Janeway was probably the FC one, I'd check your Command section.

[vale wasp]

The incursions coins aren't old vs new, they are just for different things. One coin is used for officers and other permanent stuff, the other coin is used for incursions consumables. We got the second type.
The consumables store will come back after it is fixed, and we'll have the chance to use them during non-incursions hours which is a big plus. I'd watch #⭐-official-announcements for updates there.

[night ingot]

@vale wasp That's what it is thank you

[pallid sapphire]

Just keep in mind it probably won’t be”fixed “ till next incursions run 😂

[cosmic knoll]

intentionally switched off to stop ppl using it on xindi imo 😉

[slate orbit]

Hey Moderators, scopley employees, community service reps... can we please get a shopping cart on the web site, for multiple pack purchases. Enforced state taxes per sale add up to dang fast... the small purchase add up to 1 pack in taxes, where tax on a cart would only be half that.

Come on don't pickle and dime us via our own states... 🤣

[pliant latch]

was just looking at the pvp repair favors in exborg, considering that PvP is over in 1 or 2 rounds are they even worth anything?
it just seems that scopley just doesnt understand how PvP is broken as they keep putting out all lthis content that actaully isnt relevant anymore, if the fights were longer like before then yes all of these things would be great

[silk charm]

i've actually found the pvp repair favor of the most use in station cracking, where if you're trying to one-crack a station, combat will go several rounds and the healing can matter

[arctic stream]

What is up with the NX-01 Event.. I just had a player tell me it took him almost 5 hours to complete the scrap event

It should work. I'd check that scopely is spelled correctly.

[finite mural]

[e-mail]

[silent hollow]

It's a huge grind until you can farm 40 Xindi hostiles. Really nothing you can except try and move up, Scopely wants you to spend $$$

[arctic stream]

Huge grind is correct, It's just ridiculous for them to put up a 5hr grinding event

[ocean pebble]

Has anyone used two Amalgam’s at same time with the plundering exocomp? If so, did both get the same benefit, because mine is not.

[finite mural]

yes and they do, were both docked when you used it?

[ocean pebble]

@finite mural Yes I started the exocomp then sent both out. The first one got the buff and the second didn’t. The first one has a 4.52M and was getting 1M each hit and the second has a 5.41M and was getting 14k from a 10k.

[crude sandal]

Okay, I'm curious because I don't live with odd tax laws... Are sales takes not a percentage of the purchase price? The way you're describing it sounds like they're a flat fee per transaction 👀

[slender monolith]

Yea, i’m not sure i follow it either, unless it’s a currency conversion thing with a minimum fee.

[atomic harbor]

What the heck. @tacit obsidian . To finish event you need 20,000. My you can score in 10 point per kill, that's if you can kill those ones. So need to kill 2,000 hostiles to finish event.

[finite mural]

That is the alliance milestone, meaning everyone in your alliance contributes.

[indigo bay]

Hello, I ask, I have already gathered the 4000 broken rods, where can I exchange them, so I can open the nonsense?

[vale wasp]

An exchange pops in the recruit section after you've filled the 700pt req of the lockbox.

[slate orbit]

Yes we have a flat fee attached to electronic trsnansactions for privacy law enforcement.

[slender monolith]

Most unfortunate

[fallow widget]

so, when you hit the farm limit, it'd be nice if there was some notification. i just blew through my daily summons and farmed a bunch of voyager stuff, but i got nothing.

[icy kettle]

Sounds like you need a vpn to change your location 🙂

[mild cobalt]

2 day event for something with a 3 day cooldown.

[finite mural]

Event was visible for a week for you to prepare

[mild cobalt]

Shouldn't have to delay things with long cooldowns that are already designed to slow down progress for events when they can just put a third day on it, since you would only be able to do it once during those 3 days anyway it wouldn't give anyone any kind of advantage, simply avoid excluding anyone. Also pre-prepping is not something that's ever been required before, and making people go even slower on three to five day cooldowns for events is just going to make even more people quit.

[dense prawn]

Prepare how? Double pull gets you 1 milestone then impossible to do anything else, regardless of how much mat you have.

[finite mural]

A full pull completes the sms, and preprepping has pretty much been the game since day 1

[mild cobalt]

There's always at least one person willing to jump up and defend lazy garbage. That's why they keep doing it, they know they don't even have to defend it themselves. Probably why they never even bother to acknowledge this stuff anymore. As you are not useful and not providing any benefit, just going to go ahead and block you. If the devs choose to ignore this like they do everything else, that's their choice. This is a dying game anyway, it's not like one event is going to make or break it. But it should still be pointed out. 🙂

[finite mural]

There are plenty of things to complain about, but they gave you notice and you chose to ignore it, so that's on you. By the way, I'm probably one of the more vocal people with their complaints on this discord, I'm not defending lazy garbage, I'm pointing out that you had time to prepare and didn't.

[upbeat jungle]

Can you please change what red and green data nodes look like? As I am getting older, they are becoming harder to see. Right now they are basically empty frames.

[mild fulcrum]

You do realise you’re playing a resource management game right? Either delay or don’t, your choice. Is it worth the rewards? No? Ignore and move on. I do wonder what game you’re playing never prepping for an event before…

[kind star]

Does anyone else get the impression that the NX has a much higher than 30% chance of sending you home at the end of the first round? According to my observations, it's around 50%.

[sweet cedar]

what are they used for? frame and hailing need another currency

[pale drift]

I think its BS to run a Battlepass then the Incursion at the same time. since during a incursion you cant really do anything else. and cant do those days event for the Battlepass. Without risking giving the other server the points. i think scopley not only needs to change this policy but also comp us for the battlepass for this last incursion.

a lot of us work towards the last tier on the overflow for the broken rods to turn in to get a unbroken one to open Vault

[swift steppe]

My Saladin just blew up in freindly territory for no apparent reason and with no battle report, or I guess it didn't because it just came back to life 😂

[limber mesa]

the other server can't be in every system on both servers at the same time.
you can always find a quiet place to do your events(sometimes the other server can even help you, by fighting your vi'dar/talios in a borg pvp event for example)

[charred cosmos]

Wasn't it lost/hirogen during incursion? My advice is go to the DQ systems that are deep space so they have to travel there / use nx01 ability and not just peak in

Wounded Animal to get the Immune Response I just don’t get it. I have gone to Kennan and other systems to summon using advanced sensors the 8472 bio ships, which I kill. But no biotoxins ever. What am I doing wrong? 😂😂🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

[obtuse jungle]

Sorry, but where is the promised quality from scopely, as we only got new grinds this year, AGAIN.

[glass monolith]

What happened to quality not quantity???

ANOTHER loop. MORE token areas. MORE complex grind.

NOT what we want folks.

Maybe try adding more of these grinds to the "sweep" research cause it's worse than ever right now.

This arc gave us 3 new grinds on its own. Ridiculous.

[gaunt tartan]

Can We PLEASE not get another grind without getting rid of some old one? It getting worse than what was before Freebooters. Borg probes, Actians, Cardasian, Dominion, Hirogens, Texas, 8472, Reptilian and Aquatic Xindie, Cardasian armadas, Dominion and Borg solo armadas, formation armadas and don't forget we still need to grind regular FKR hostiles and armadas. Almost forgot Cube, Franklin, etc what ever other special ships grind I missed.

[vale wasp]

Immune Response requires that you refine biotoxin, in the voy refinery.

[half saddle]

Does anyone know why this particular Field Training is such a long process for so few rewards? Are the NX-01 & Monaveen Field Trainings set-up the same way?

[finite mural]

they're not, the voyager commerce tokens is the only ridiculous one.

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> so 3 new grinds in 3 months? How's that Quality over Quantity coming?

[mild hemlock]

@half saddle Only slight help is going to Mislap and use summoning with Voyager. You will then get more commerce insignia than usual from the loot chests.

[limber mesa]

good thing the nx-01 grind is broken.
a single kill can get you your daily xindi needs and half a week's aquatic needs.

[finite mural]

Which severely needs it's drop rate increased.

I use Ghrush & hit the 49 & 50 system. Also use 5, Neelix, with The Doctor below deck to maximize my loot per summon. But I've been doing this Field Training loop for months & haven't made 20% progress. Another instance of the Devs not caring about quality over quantity imho.

[mild hemlock]

Here is the best ‘quantity’ you will get to help with this MS in the field training. It’s intended as such. It’s just a vast majority of players go for what they feel they need, instead of going for what the progression needs.

[rose nacelle]

Just another month of more crap in Star Trek Grind Command

Another loop...when will it end

[ancient stratus]

[neat pier]

Rejoice! At last a new loop. Just what we always wanted.

[torpid cargo]

Wait....your not trying to do all of those every day are you? Cuz thats insane.

[austere quartz]

It seems this game is becoming more and more a daily task/routine instead of offering excitement and fun. More and more i am finding myself attached to this game due to the invested funds and time instead of really enjoying the gameplay. I wonder how much longer this reasoning will let me keep playing this game.

[gaunt tartan]

It doesn't make difference if doing those daily or every 2-3 days, simply don't have enough time to do all of it and I am one spending more than average time in game. Something have to give in and that's usually some grind. That's why I am a lot behind with Defiant and Bajoran Favors for example. Correction, don't have enough time to get even all single chest refines And I am ops 57 player.

[torpid cargo]

I get that brother. Don't let Scopley convince you that you have to do it all. Some grinds are not all that worth it. Pick your top three and focus on them, let the rest slide. They can be caught up later. Play at a pace that you are good with, if you let scopey set that pace.....your gonna go Captain Insane-O.

[gaunt tartan]

Problem is people are getting annoyed already and quitting game, so Scopely is not really helping here.

[austere quartz]

At the moment i think Scopely would be better off not implementing anything new....maybe tone down on the constant stimulans of getting people to spend money. Instead keep the game attractive and perhaps look at reviving certain aspects of the game instead of expanding.

It amazes me that Scopely never has bothered to look into improving PvP for example. A main goal of progessing in a game, is to measure up to others. But PvP in this game is playing poker with all the cards open. Why not make the opponent's crew invisible to start with? Or only show the captain after using hailing frequencies....you know, a bit of realistic gameplay? Why is the tier of a ship and installed module expansions visible without some scan feature?

I can take a lucky guess though....none of those developments bring in (direct) cash flow. Instead it seems they have opted for a modular expansive programming approach where certains aspects (code) are copied, slightly altered....visualized differently and hey! a new ship to buy! a new feature to pay for!

Especially the last 1-1,5 year this approach has become very evident. But in my humble opinion...it might give short term cash flow, but in long term it's killing the game. And it wouldn't surprise me if there are many others who are sticking to the game just because of their time and money investment in their progress rather than actual fun. And that can not be a healthy foundation to keep a game running on.

[faint gate]

Are you seriously scopely? Another f’ing loop?????

[slate orbit]

Can we Please fix issues before we ad more stuff that will break, have glitches and make things more complicated. during incursions lag was so bad alliance members could not play the game for hours on end. zones would not load properly, wave would crash at start while incursions where going on. players were getting kicked when the first enemy's spawned on waves. but yall think is a good idea to add more stuff to break.. please for gosh sakes fix the system. make it work for all players before you add more things to do.. if you have put off fixing issues to make more money that's on yall.. fix the game first then expand with valid testing. and please start testing with a real account copy's, not a dev account with all ships, all officers, and 4 billion in freaking Latinum. when you show in your promotional video a picture of a account that doesn't look like a real players how are we to believe you even test at all.. Show us.. use multiple videos showing accoutns at multiple levels. show us you really care about all the players at every level.

[heady shadow]

@tacit obsidian really another grind? At this point i feel like i should be paid to play this crap game. Its more like a job than a game at this point. What happened to the quality part? Adding grind after grind is how you kill a game not make it better. Its like its rocket science to you guys.

[keen star]

Stop with the copy and paste never ending loops, its ridiculous. Listen to your content creators.

[fading snow]

I hope Bek has her resume out. If they keep this “new loop new hostile new refinery” ridiculousness I can’t see continuing this game much longer. It’s KILLING US 😦

[neat cave]

3 months - 3 grind loops = 0 players still playing this game

[gentle shale]

@tacit obsidian @tidal notch A big focus for us in 2024 will be on quality, rather than quantity.” 2024 Roadmap Preview
By Star Trek | 20 December 2023

I know I can have a difficult time understanding certain concepts (eg, string theory) but “quality rather than quantity” seems like something that should be very straightforward.

So how does 3 new hostile loops related to an overall 3-month arc = quality rather than quantity?

At this rate it seems that we can expect another 9 loops to be released over the course of the next 9 months.

When can we expect to see quality in terms of things of making the game less frustrating to play? (pssst … more loops not a great help in that area) While comp chests are nice, not needing them in the first place would be nicer.

[tidal notch]

Copy that. Both myself and Eco have been passing on this feedback to let the team know how players are feeling about the new arc announcement.

[limber mesa]

not sure you caught my earlier message, but your day-counting is different from what we're used to.
this made the 2-day voyager event look like a 3 day event in the announcement.

[austere quartz]

I think you mean "how our customers are feeling about the chosen general direction of game development in the last 1,5 years. "

[tidal notch]

Good call out. Those were the dates I meant to post, but I'll triple check in the future. Apologies for the confusion.

[limber mesa]

past announcements never included the "last day", listing only the days on which a 24 hour event cycle started.

[wind shell]

Cause we need more token gates...?

[tame pasture]

Hey all. Asking for some of our lower ops. With the arc store coming. Is it ops or reputation that allows them to purchase g3 epic Bps? I think it’s reputation and that at around 80% of respected rep so 8 mil the bps would show in store. Does this sound right or am I remembering wrong?

[vale wasp]

Both are reqs for faction ships.

[tame pasture]

Yes I know that and I posted on wrong chat also. I’ll take to right section cos I type in sentences and slow mode kills me lol

[nimble pawn]

Don’t you enjoy your full time job working for Scopely…?

[ashen atlas]

Well, it's been fun Scopely. But for me, another loop was the last straw. I wanted to see less grind, but I think it's not gonna happen. @tacit obsidian @tidal notch

[nimble pawn]

Wanted to see? Bro they straight promised less in game time being required. Yet, they’ve done nothing but add more and more each arc.

[last nest]

that was 3 years ago lol when they said that

[umbral thistle]

I think it's clear now there was a typo in their road ahead. Quantity > Quality they got the words the wrong way round 🤣 three grind loops in 3 months is straight up ridiculous

[nimble pawn]

“We can and will do better” lmao do better at extorting your players for every last dollar they’ll spend 😂

[wind shell]

Just all of the "these cap out at 8..." are a little nutty

[trail zenith]

Um... From the website and from Rev's video:

[finite mural]

eco was talking about ship parts but i didn't see it on the website, maybe they changed things at the last minute, they like to do that

[trail zenith]

Those are drastically different benefits lol

[stark night]

*insert general sentiment that another grind loops is awful. Sad “quality > quantity” wasn’t really a thing.

[tropic crown]

@tacit obsidian yet a new loop is not quality over quantity.

[worn granite]

For the love of all that is holy Scopely enough with the dammed "token to enter" systems!

[brazen siren]

This year we promise to reduce the grind.... By increasing the grind. 🤦‍♂️

[weary geyser]

Next arch, they release a new freebooters loop, reducing grinds. For me it’s enough. I’m not spending a dime in the game anymore. Not worth it. Not even BPs.

[delicate locust]

Why do you bother complaining? Scopely isn't going to fix anything the players want because their profit margin isn't being affected. As long as whales keep dumping unreal amounts of money everything is fine in their eyes.

[crude snow]

Any new on when summoning will be repaired?

[sinful walrus]

since $copely are maintaining their usual standards in communication, I'm gonna assume maintenance will start at the usual time

[fallow wadi]

What communication????

[sturdy barn]

Maintenance announcement to complicated? 🤬

[silk charm]

#⭐-official-announcements message
also the normal warnings in GC and also it was entirely predictable

[sinful walrus]

A standard simply means a minimum level of quality, it does not mean the quality is good. I'm sure we can all agree that $copely has a minimum level of quality.

[sacred crane]

• Prime Crit Evasion: Reduces opponent’s total Critical Chance (including all research and bonuses) by 20%
• Prime Borg Cutting Beam Damage: A multilevel prime that increases the Borg Cube’s Cutting beam damage

Some major 💩

[slate tartan]

100 euro per prime 🤓

[timber lion]

Instead of yet another grind/loop - could you please just sort out xindi's? :\

[native adder]

Sort them out? They’re working as intended, aren’t they?

[scarlet nova]

From the notes:

Bugs Fixes
Fixed an issue when the player activated the Cerritos ability “Cerritos Support”: the toast did not display properly

Where is the Toast?! What Toast? Now I’m hungry 😂😂

[static umbra]

So its now month 3... just wondering when the "quality" is going to start 🤷‍♂️

[timber lion]

Not really no, they were intended for you to hit levels appropriate to your ops... instead of fixing them they then just reduced the chest costs.. xD

[native adder]

No, they’re intentionally tough… at least that’s my understanding

[boreal flame]

So they gave us a way to much of content this year already and will pack even more content in after 2 weeks this month....scopely someone should explain to you what quantity and quality means

[runic prairie]

Is it Scopely's ultimate goal to convince players to quit the game? I'm ops 47 on 140. As it is right now, I need to:

Mantis grind,
Borg grind,
Cube grind,
Bajoran grind,
Xindi Grind,
Monaveen grind,
Voyager grind (Mining, summoning, regular hostiles)
4* Interceptor parts grind
4* battleship parts grind
4* explorer parts grind
4* miner parts grind
FKR rep grind.
Mine all 3 G4 resources.
(I'm sure I've missed a few here)
Never mind levelling ships that now require a stupid amount of exp to level them up.
Also not to mention the huuuuge and constant growing rift you're causing between the P2W and F2P players.

This game is more demanding on its own than being in full time employment and being a parent to 3 young kids.

I guess as long as you rake in the money now, you don't care about the longevity. 🤷‍♂️
I've seen on Discords and FB groups, so many people are dropping out of the game because of the stupid expectations of this game. You're ruining what was a good game. Well done. 👏

I realise this is a feedback channel 😂 How about for my feedback, you should really take a step back and see what the communities are complaining about before you bring in even more drivel please.

[odd berry]

Potential Crewing Suggestions

• Pike / Moreau / Tucker – Weakens the Silent Enemies’ critical damage significantly.
• Ent-E Picard / Ent-E Data / Tucker – Tucker will blunt the enemy’s damage, while Ent-E Picard and Ent-E Data will boost your offense. You will likely sustain more damage, but will be rewarded with better loot.
• Severus / Decius / Charvanek – With fully synergized Severus, the enemy ship will fall in 5 rounds. Works best when used against battleships. If you cannot survive the 5 rounds, we recommend fighting a lower level enemy.

Is a verry welcome addition to patch noted 🥳

[boreal flame]

Borggrind and Stella grind should get part of the Freebooter cyle. So you reduce the amount of work players have to do without eliminating the content. Just give us a chance to play the game and have fun.

[runic prairie]

Oh! I forgot about Stella.
Oh and Data mining, ISO Mining.

I'm not sure how they could incorporate the borg grind into freebooter cycle. You need the loot from the borg hostiles. You don't get the loot from freebooter cycle for Swarms. You just get the dailies completed.

[timber lion]

You sure about that? #⭐-official-announcements message

[boreal flame]

They could create new dailies and reward an amaount of res for it.

[slender monolith]

Your mistake there is the word “need”. You don’t need to do all of it at once or even regularly. You can set your own pace, you determine how fast you progress, and there’s nothing that requires you to progress at high speed, because it’s only a game. If you feel compelled to do things, it’s not a game, it’s an addiction.

[runic prairie]

And yet to progress in the game, if you choose to not do a portion of that list, you make your game play more difficult. Whether it's less resources, for less growth, less research, less ship tiers, or not doing monaveen grind, meaning you make the game more difficult by not getting the stuff needed for the monaveen research, not doing stella grinds, same again, you don't get the research needed, not mining iso, you don't get the territory research. They've designed the game so that to grow you need to do everything. If you don't you're limiting yourself compared to others in an already VERY imbalanced PvP game when it comes to the P2W. For example you can have an Ops 62 warp in with their massively over powered cube, hit your ship from across the system, then warp out. Which isn't right when you're say ops 46/47.

You can indeed not do most of this, but you're here to play a game where you used to be able to juggle what the game offers, quite comfortably actually. But now? After Scopely assured players they want to focus on quality not quantity, they've seemed to go the complete opposite and throw new loops, new grinds into the mix every month, all while adding more prime researches, new paid artifacts and stuff for the P2W players.

I'm just giving feedback as a F2P player. I play a game to cover all game play I possibly can, STFC in the past year, has by far become the biggest grind of a game I've ever come across. And I've played plenty of mobile, console, and PC games. 🤷‍♂️

[sage cedar]

Which alliance?

[upbeat imp]

If you've played plenty of games, then you know the score. Play till the point it's a drag, then quit. I just do the story missions and stick at lev 35. You've in the psychological realms of a casino.... there is no fair play.

[storm bluff]

Подскажите пожалуйста, куда обратиться по поводу проблем с аккаунтом Scopely?

[brazen patrol]

We do NOT need another grind right now. I know no one in scopely reads this and the channel is just for vanity
But holy carrot are you going to be responsible for at least 20% of my alliance quitting in the next month or 2

[quiet steppe]

Oh, good. Another pointless, unnecessary grind not to bother with. Let me guess - there will still be the issue with Xindi grind and the new ones will be just as hard (if not harder) to kill in sufficient quantities. The game is barely worth playing these days.

[heady nebula]

This year so far goes against what scopley said they were doing.

[woven ibex]

New Loop, very Sad!
Always the same thing, new loops, new bugs, forgotten content, and buy more!!!

[nova sierra]

Scopeless

[glacial obsidian]

One of our players summed the upcoming new Arc up precisely: it’s not Pay 2 Win anymore - it becomes Pay 2 Play!

[dusky plover]

Great code it's working well

[clear iris]

Anyone else having trouble with the claim code?
Ops 45.
Thanks.

[finite mural]

like the previous code, not active until the arc starts

[vivid quarry]

Code didn’t activate till later in the day last time

[valid grove]

6 new primes, and the third loop in 3 months… really, Scopely is cracking that „Quality over quantity“ 😌

[trail zenith]

Quit with primes that try to solve problems instead of just solving them

[cloud lantern]

more sorting options since we got more artifacts please!

[lucid rock]

So what exactly do I do with these since there's no way to exchange them in the store whatsoever?

[sly pulsar]

The teams seriously need to revisit their quality control and testing process before releasing patches and updates. Absolutely shameful.

[umbral thistle]

looks like you killed the wrong level hostile, in the exchange I have it tells me which levels to kill to get the correct loot (dont get my wrong that should be alot clearer)

[modern crane]

Why did you guys release a new loop, more currencies, more hostiles, etc... instead of just making those handful of artifacts into researches and then focusing on fixing the bugs and player experience in the game?

[bronze igloo]

You really suck. I started at the lowest system like usual to see how my Korinar held up and I can't even refine what the 41-44 silent hostiles drop? So I moved up to the next system to actually get what I can refine but only get half of what I would have been able to. Did you guys even think this out at all?

[tribal bane]

If you have to ask you know the answer….😂

[crystal mica]

I feel forced to enter the Ent3 code on the website to not miss anything… don’t like this new feature.

[lavish spruce]

Tried entering the code and was denied, will try again after reset.

[main river]

So what are we supposed to do with the uc disruptor parts then? Seems pointless having that system if you cant refine/trade in the parts. 🤦‍♂️

[winter oyster]

Well the new loot is not accumulating upon returning home. Figures.

[bronze igloo]

It is but you can only refine what it says. Like me I can only refine the rare loot (from lvl 46 to 49 hostiles) and not the uncommon loot (lvl 41-44).

[winter oyster]

Right. I realized that after burning the first token. But collected 5* on my second trip and loot didn’t accumulate.

[main river]

Why make it ops dependent? Some of us only just moved up to 46 and wont be able to use those systems until we can get bigger, more powerful ships. Another loop i wont be doing.

[steep socket]

We already have an artifact gallery… so let’s add all the new artifacts to the refinery instead. Seriously 🤦

[errant brook]

no just hide every artifact on a different place. It doesn't need to make sense for us. 3 Months of quantity - looking forward to 9 months of quality right now 😄

[weak grove]

GUI adjusting would be something your programmers should learn. get them a course for this please =D

lol switched to english, just for comparing.

[undone igloo]

Yes is stupid, there should be a way to refine the uncommon too

[ionic void]

More mediocre content, no fixes of problems in this game.

[cosmic basin]

They to stop adding to the game they making it more of task than a game gettint to the point cant be bother to do all daily and the multi collections 😭

[torpid kelp]

does anyone else get sent to the area intake when they want to go to the exocomp store?

[dreamy vine]

Rubbish. This game has reached the end of its life. We're still grinding away because of the time spent

[hollow wing]

Is it really difficult for you to post that the Code wont be active until all events are live in all locations? Its literally one sentence.

[crude sandal]

er, he did, like, thirty minutes ago? #⭐-official-announcements

[wise maple]

The new artifact, The Eye of Ara, needs to be bumped up a few percent per level to even make it worth while. It would need to be at level 3 just to lower the amount of shards needed by 1 for a UC Artifact.

[twilit agate]

Why is this the last part of Enterprise? Where is Reed and Mayweather? And last part and no eventstore???

[vale wasp]

#👽-how-to-contact-support

[woeful mulch]

@scopley what's the matter have too much garbage in your game that you had to move the artifact tab from last to third? When will you people ever leqrn.

[torpid cargo]

Yea but you don't "have" to do all of this every day. Time it out, group it up. You are putting that expectation on yourself. Do you log into Netflix and then complain you cannot watch everything everyday?

[smoky kestrel]

Did you not have any, or not as much as you expected? Checking my logs I should've brought back around 18k but I was only able to do the single pull. Nvm, the tooltip is wrong and 55's don't drop rares, and slow mode is enabled so I can't post again

[exotic wave]

no malcolm or travis officers?

[surreal condor]

If not, it's not unheard of for Scopely to revisit Trek IPs... So I'm sure it will come back around.

[wooden spire]

That’s called a straw man. Completely different concept. At least compare apples with apples.

[torpid cargo]

Sure its not. But enjoy or don't enjoy, play or don't play. The "oh my god Scopley has given us to much to do" whines are getting old. Personal choice, pick what you want and ignore the rest. Or don't. I could care less....

[somber orchid]

Where’s the MACOs

[brazen prism]

Scopely always forgets to update the old content. Such as:
1: The Augments
2: Swarm Sunday
3: Stella (need 50+)
4: Space worms
5: The mushrooms (Discovery)
**All need a big freshening up... **
**This need to be fixed **
1: Borg Cube warp range (remains too low and still not fix it)
2: Wrong loot drop (if you destroy level 50+ ships you still get G2 stuff...)
3: Incursion (still too focus on base raiding)
What is really need it
1: More space docks (crazy amount of special ships in this game)
2: Need more content like wave & space raids (playing with your friends)
3: all fraction research should also work on the special ships
What is really not need it
1: More loops in this game
2: More special ships

[surreal condor]

Ty, will pass along to the team

[runic prairie]

This channel is called #general-feedback. As a player of the game I'm giving my feedback. There is too much new content coming from a company promising to focus on quality not quantity. My feedback has been provided. You don't have to respond it's for them not you. Yet you chose to respond, as much as you claim it's my choice to limit my involvement in the game it's also your choice to respond to "whines" or not. It's also your choice to read the comments or just scroll on. And yet you chose to read. 😉

Also my friend, if people are whining or rather if you are seeing a large number of people complaining or giving negative feedback, does that not hint there's an issue with the games direction that some people have played for 4+ years? And it'd be better for Scopely to receive that feedback and change the direction for the better enjoyment of it's players?

[olive nacelle]

Woohooo 🍻 more new hostiles, more new currency, another grind loop, more money to progress….just what we have all been screaming for more of!! 👀🤷🏻‍♂️

[weak grove]

No NX in the event shop? seriously? 😡

[exotic wave]

event store looks lacklustre to put it mildly

[glacial obsidian]

The last event store was bad - and I thought it can’t get worse! But Scopely never fails and made it much much more worse!! There is literally nothing useful to get there! The officers are useless, the ship BP I have. No skins. No projectiles. Nothing! I’ll quit this month! And not few the game! Good job!

[lilac yew]

so are waves dead already lol

[blissful yoke]

Are new players not supposed to enter the newest server (EU402) and not the latest server that merged (EU172)?

[kind rampart]

Put something useful in the event store like Forbidden Techs or Fleet Commanders!!

[proud moss]

Is this a joke? Are you guys serious with this laughable pack @tacit obsidian ?
You do know that a "special pack" should have more stuff in it than a "standard" pack, right?
Loosing all the ressources but getting only 30 shards for that UC Artifact and 10 tokens for the new systems is just ridiculous.

[glacial obsidian]

No - because we should pay for the usefull stuff and get annoyed by the ridiculous stuff

[weak grove]

well. we won't

[prime socket]

Event store is LAME. Can we get some ship skins/projectiles? And maybe some more officers? Or even some forbidden tech or fleet commanders?

[rich elm]

first impression of Arc store - what a lousy and underwhelming offering

[median peak]

Scopely: "we're serving everyone a large cup of hazelnut flavored Folgers coffee this year"
Scopely: (spills cup on you so you don't find out it's boiled water with food coloring and a drop of vanilla extract, burns you cuz it's too hot and sends you a coupon for %50 off a small Taco Bell coffee as compensation)

[pale garnet]

so when does this game start to resemble anything like a free to play game and not all pay to play game

[solar solar]

About 5 years ago

[median peak]

We'll find Superman's home planet of Krypton intact and full of life before that happens

[stuck delta]

Another grind loop, just what no one wanted

[karmic escarp]

This currency event looks like trash already. NOTHING NEW. Thanks a lot scopely.

[crude snow]

As usual, game will not load after update

[torpid cargo]

Ok.....cool. I don't think there is a large number of people that complain. This is a echo chamber, where the whiners come whine and get positive reinforcement from the other whiners. I believe Scope has said there are about 270K active players....out of which it seems a small number of really loud ones come here to complain.....at yet it's gotten to me as well as I sit here complaining about the complainers.

[ripe ridge]

anyone else getting this? @tacit obsidianam i doing something wrong?

[runic prairie]

😂 I'm not here to moan and look for sympathy. I just want to give feedback. I've played for just over 2 years. and only recently have I started seeing the friends who have played for 4 years start to quit the game because of the games bugs and the games constant additions to the grinds without fixing the gameplay for the other stuff.

[median peak]

I honestly have to give scopely credit though, creating a video game......A VIDEO GAME.....
that has people spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on it....... HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.....we have a guy on our server that's 7 figures in this game....... only wish i had thought of it

If everyone will send me a dollar I'll tell you how to get people to send you millions of dollars
😇

[random lintel]

If you don't want to add anything new to the event store, can we just have a normal month of rss/mats instead?

[prime socket]

Still getting this

[hidden night]

@tacit obsidian @tidal notch so once again we have 51s and 52s in the same bracket SLBs as 63s and 64s, what is being done about this because it is in absolutely no way possible to even compete with G6 ships when the best we can field is a G4 Epic that nobody even builds now.

[median peak]

You haven't spent enough money on the game yet

[hidden night]

Code isn't supposed to be live until after reset and we supposedly get a message telling us it is as they finish rolling out events, just a little to early I guess

[prime socket]

My mistake. Forgot reset had not hit yet since the events are already live.

[hidden night]

@ancient sandal lol swipe it only works when you can buy a win, this is literally kill hostiles score points per kill, no hostile level just straight kills, so a 63 can sit there in the lowest system possible and smash baby ships while a 52 in the same system is scoring the same points per kill on a ship significantly smaller than even a baby G6 uncommon or even a G5 Epic, thats not a situation you can pay your way out of.

[potent blade]

I'm extremely disappointed with your Treasury contents of late. I wait 4 months to get the next one, then there's no 4* uncommon gas in it. If fact there hasn't been much of this since November. This is needed for 4 of my ships, 6 defense platforms plus numerous buildings. Bonus refinery hasn't given me anything even when I run maximum amount. There should be at least 20K in every Treasury!!!!

[ancient sandal]

you can buy yourself to 63+ and compete 😂 there is no spending limit on store

[hidden night]

Actually there is, its $10K a day, unless they removed that recently; thats what it was last time I heard anyone complain about it, but thats not the point; a 52 competing against a 63 is in no way shape or form even remotely the same ballpark lol

[tulip ether]

Nice that the Promo code in the Patch notes comes back as Invalid! Tried it 4 times w/o success. Pretty sad that an Ops 44 can't claim the code on Server 74!

[finite mural]

Announcements. Read. Words. Hard.

[upbeat imp]

Read the official announcement. NOT ACTIVE

[junior lava]

Why you forsaken me scopley

[vale falcon]

I've just finished going through this new 'loop' & the rewards are rubbish and the tokens pointless. Seems like low effort Feb was push back to low effort March...

[pulsar venture]

so tried the promo code and got this ?

[hollow narwhal]

ANOTHER failure to Launch. Very well done on the Quality vs Quantity Scopely.... Fool me once, shame on you.... Fool me twice, shame on me... I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt... But THIS is just BAD

[thorny wing]

ENT3 code entered but ..invalid says Scopely

[warm hawk]

so with the latest update i have rare temporal in the artifacts exchange but i ended up getting uncommons turns out i need to go hit higher level hostiles so now i have a bunch of mats i can not do anything with how come i can not exchange the lower level mats for exchange

[rich elm]

lol, 2nd time in 2 months, when will you learn ?

[thorny wing]

Done button is non operational

[tiny axle]

You can always count on Scopely 😂

[kind minnow]

@tacit obsidian so if we can only hit 55's without blowing up.. but after a while the 55 dont respawn.. how much time did u guys calculate we have to wait for these to respawn ?

[little latch]

First impression, where's the Borg Cube Blueprints?

[finite mural]

they did, the code for 38+

[stuck burrow]

Refinery tabs that aren't valid for what ever reason to a level or situation need to be hidden.

[covert abyss]

So the new promo code is only for level 38 ops or higher?

[pseudo barn]

So as a level 31 I don't get a promo... thanks!

[cyan arch]

playing stfc?

[opaque raft]

Quality of quantity.
What a joke.
A total lie

[jaunty prism]

Scopely wants you to rush ops, get frustrated when you can't compete, then spend a bunch of money on ships and officers to catch up.

[old seal]

Don't worry you'll be grateful not to be involved with this pile of 💩

[runic prairie]

When you reach an ops for it, they'll have fixed the bugs. You'll be fine!

[molten jungle]

One trip with Bek’s suggested crew and the 46 hostiles since I’m ops 49. QA should stop testing with every prime turned on, it’s not realistic.

[opaque raft]

You know, you are totally right. As a lower level i’m so glad i dont have to deal with all monthly fails and new grinds. It is killing the game.

And no bugs were fixed: tje patch list only mentiones textual editorials. No fixed bug whatsoever.
But of course new bugs were introduced rhat will be here forever.
A total disgrace
Incompetence all over the place

[old seal]

Cannot disagree with you

[kind minnow]

https://i.imgur.com/8eBagTJ.jpeg about 14 hostiles ;x

[dusky brook]

Maybe run it past QA before you go live ...

[glass monolith]

Stop putting everything behind tokens! By the time we got upper and lower crews right and can kill these over powered hostiles we can't finish the sms because we are out of tokens!!!

[prime socket]

Need a way to exchange these “temporal disruptor parts” for different grades. I.e. trade 100 uncommon for 10 rare, or some other exchange rate.

[sacred garden]

The promo code :ENT3 didn’t work for me in that form, had to put it in as ENT3 for it to work.

[rich elm]

i think im just going to skip this

[vivid raft]

See: #1214613753384013905 message

[opaque raft]

Scopely better stop with putting in ANY mew content.
They explicitally promised us quality over quantity, but we -again- get the exact opposite.
Scopely should use all their resources in fixing all the bugs, in stead of introducing new ones every month with stupid new content

[maiden gate]

$copley, How do you expect a 51 or 52 Ops player to kill those level 51 Silent Enemies ... I was able to kill ONE w/ my Pilum and was left with only a sliver of hull , so HOW is someone those Ops levels supposed to do this Loop!?!

[vivid raft]

Potential Crewing Suggestions (https://startrekfleetcommand.com/update-64-patch-notes/)

Pike / Moreau / Tucker – Weakens the Silent Enemies’ critical damage significantly.

Ent-E Picard / Ent-E Data / Tucker – Tucker will blunt the enemy’s damage, while Ent-E Picard and Ent-E Data will boost your offense. You will likely sustain more damage, but will be rewarded with better loot.

Severus / Decius / Charvanek – With fully synergized Severus, the enemy ship will fall in 5 rounds. Works best when used against battleships. If you cannot survive the 5 rounds, we recommend fighting a lower level enemy

[glass monolith]

All ops levels having same issue. Hostiles are hitting way too hard even when we use the crews they told us to use.

[opaque raft]

This is a plain and deliberate lie. The code cannot be redeemed by every player.

[vocal berry]

At ops 45 with a 21M Kelvin, I can take out 4 level 41s using the Severus crew. With the 7 tokens I can potentially get in this 24-hour period (2 now, 2 tomorrow, 3 from promo chest), that's 28 ships or 560 points out of the 900 to max the event.

[tame spade]

Doesn’t work. I did better with Pike Moreau Chen than I did Pike Moreau Tucker. But I still blew up both times without finishing them. My guess is that only works if Tucker is tiered waaaay up

[vivid raft]

True, they updated the patch notes in a perfect example of false advertisement and discriminatory practices ...

[limber mesa]

mining rates in the new token systems is terrible, 1/3rd of what's in open space.
and it's not even the size, since you can find the same and larger size in open space too...

[wide marsh]

This rollout and set of events is not indicative of quality. Rather it borders on things that drive people to rage quit a game. Please, for the love of Spock, pull your arc runners heads out of their posteriors.

[opaque raft]

Exactly. Scraply has always tried to hide their incompetence, but we all know better. Its one big 💩show

[hidden night]

Are players below Ops 38 intentionally excluded from the promo code or is that another oversight like last month?

[brazen prism]

in short G4 players can only do 41+ ships - G5 can only do 51+ or cannot open boxes - use fraction ships and be prepared for cremation of your fraction ships. - this is not great: give players choices; when you are level 51/52 makes this new loop impossible to do on a daily basis. Players us their fraction ships for very long time Pilum - Newton so on (even players in the 60 use it). Scopely expects everybody to build Epic G4 when you do this loop when you are ops 51/52

[vivid raft]

It's intentional, spot the differences (left image was taken 1h after daily reset, right is after we ware told there is lvl38+ requirement):

[proper meteor]

@ scopelydev. this is terrible update. why ffs i need hunt 5star ships? its imposible for me shoot any of these 51 ships with 60m pilum (im lv52) and what i can do with these 4* part from silent enemy? useless loot. This is...💩 patch

[worldly sphinx]

Hey scopely 👋 if you're trying to get rid of those pesky players that just keep on spending money on your game ... you're actually doing a really good job! Way to go guys ✌️👍

[opaque raft]

They are deliberately ignored, as in so many arcs before. Lower lvls dont even get the main story missions for years now. As if scopely doesnt want low lvl to play the game.
There must be something seriously wrong in the heads of those who decided to do so

[glacial obsidian]

Xindi was horrible awful cr.ap - this is even worse!

[brazen prism]

cannot even do it with my 80 mil Pilum - I am OPS 51 - scopely wanna that we build G4 epic and max it out

[proper meteor]

all player 51-52 are disqualified from thant event. 😄 g4 epic is too expensive.

[brazen prism]

can only do max two, not enough for 1 box -- so yeah. Even two runs are not enough

[proper meteor]

use tucker : crit reduction ...heh. not soo much effective

[undone stag]

Scopely - We ArE rEdUcInG tHe GrInD.

Introduces yet another grind

[icy summit]

Tbf, this grind is not doable for 90% of the players. Not doing it is also sort of a way to reduce grind :p

[sacred garden]

Why my production not producing the amounts it should be? Each one of my production for trit is same lvl yet I never get this amount? It’s been producing very low amounts way less then it’s supposed to

[toxic umbra]

I’m lvl 38 and promo code is still not working.

[lusty orchid]

Well as an Ops 55 I have to kill 55 Silent Enermies to get rares to do a pull and I can't even kill 1. Thans for a 3rd month in a row of 💩

[lean pilot]

Either scopley didn't think everything through or it's just a big middle finger to all of the ops55 and some of the ops56 players, saying "you aren't spending enough. spend some more to get back in the game".

[humble wharf]

@tidal notch Please check with dev team if the absence of G6 faction ships in the store is on purpose. For most of the 60+ players there's nothing in the store that is of interest. This will harm spending.

[median peak]

I've got ocean front property in Tennessee for sale if anyone is interested

[maiden gate]

The point is, even with the first 2 Arcs a player could "hit down" and still do the loop... THIS Arc , they restrict what hostiles you can hit and do the loop with based on your level. So requiring 51 & 52 Ops to use Uncommon that is only dropped by lvl 51 hostiles , the are powered to need a G5 warship to kill effectively when. Those Ops levels don't HAVE a G5 warship available to them yet ... is LUDICROUS

[worldly sphinx]

Scopely's soundtrack on update days: https://youtu.be/NAEppFUWLfc?si=KRCsOJoJ22A0mZmQ

[glass monolith]

Ya we have the same issue. I can't hit down a level either cause it won't give the right loot.

One of my guys is a brand new ops 46. He literally doesn't have the warp range to go to 46 system. Can't use the loot in the 41 system.

[tidal notch]

Will check!

[tidal notch]

Don't think the G6 bps are planned to be in the store, but I can let the team know there are players that would appreciate it.

[torpid kelp]

@tidal notch pls fix the waves ..........you joint and suddenly you can't see the other ships anymore, if you joint into another system to check if it's not bugged the timer from the first wave continues there

[lean pilot]

The xindi grind was tough as an ops 55 player and not a strong enough ship. I've been saving for shipyard 56 rather than putting any more mats into my corvus. Now the new refine is completely undoable as a 56 without a 56 shipyard yet. Not spending a huge amount of money to jump to shipyard 56. Guess i'll just have to wait just like everyone else in my situation.

[fickle tulip]

NX01 promo code is expired

[earnest storm]

The system hostile spawn rates for the new systems are broken. I'm ops 52 and with a cerritos buffed pilum I can deal with the 200M strength level 51 hostiles. The entire level 51 system in my server is other players of my ops sat in pilums waiting for level 51 hostiles to spawn and 100% of the hostiles are 600M strength level 53s. None of us can kill them so we all have to wait or just leave and accept the lost token.
The systems should have a forced 50/50 spawn rate of each level.

[nova sierra]

I’m not sure what feedback I can give that STFC will listen to but honestly STFC isn’t listening. Scopely promised us quality over quantity but they keep pumping out more feature releases it’s never slowed and we haven’t had any improvements in bugs or stability they simply keep pushing out more monetized content and not fixing the game. Also they keep adding massively time consuming grinds and basically playing this game is a part time job even for large spenders. Incursions were busted. Waves are still not entirely fixed. iOS has tons of bugs. Get with the program here Scopely.

[tidal notch]

Think this has been reported, but I'll double check.

[sacred garden]

I found when putting the prime code in which shows promo code as all caps to only do the first letter as cap and rest as lowercase .so instead of putting it as: ENT3 put it in as Ent3 that’s how I got it to work for me

[inner heath]

so what is the uncommon loot in the lvl 41 system used for? didn't realize that only get the rare from the lvl 46 system

[hidden night]

so I killed 40 of the 41s and 44s earlier just to feel it out and get a handle on this, at ops 52 that was a complete waste of my time cause hey guess what, its 4* loot and I can't use any of it!

So I go in to the 51 system with my T10 Newton just for shiggles and gits and 1 kill took me down to 1/8 hull, my T10 Korinar, 1 kill took me down half hull...and that was only hitting 51s...yeah this sounds like a great idea guys.

Grading the loot drop on the ship parts, fine that makes sense, I get that, but no other loop grades the special currency, thats just dumb. Essentially makes the tradein option in the artifact building unusable for players under ops 53.

[twilit iron]

How about making the codes give lower ops something else instead of just locking us out entirely. Standard recruit tokens, or anything would be nice. I couldn’t use the NX01 code and now the ENT3 code.

The fact of the matter is that I was able to get the details. I was able to bring it to the base. Where did they go, if in the game tab it says to me: I have ZERO!

[humble wharf]

Currency on you artifacts tab. Visit your list of artifacts and if you have enough you can claim cheat with them, like with the regular and isolytic artifacts

[fresh hill]

Here lies a problem I cant kill 5* silent so Im stuck on 4* silent with nowhere to spend

[mighty oracle]

Keep killing the game!!! You are good at it🤦🏼

[silver tree]

Your artifact building needs to be lvl 50 for that

[shadow bramble]

The Silent enemies are way to strong, I need Level46 enemies, and I can kill 1 per flight. I need 7 Kills for one chest... Hey Scopely, we don't have the tokens to claim that... very unbalanced and annoying

[toxic umbra]

Tried typing in the promo code without changing caps, still not working.

[bronze igloo]

There is nothing of interest for most players not just ops 60+

[torpid cargo]

I hate to say it....but after hitting the Xindi and new Silent hostiles..........I wish we would of just gotten Xindi Sphere Armadas instead. Group or Solo...or both.

[formal ice]

and SNW crew works fine?

[inner heath]

if you where in the lvl41 system that gives uncommon rewards the next system up is the one that gives out rare to be refined there.

[cerulean snow]

Silent hostiles are way too strong to be locked in token systems. Also the fact that you can't grind smaller like you can with the xindi is really bad. I was grinding 49s as an ops 55 and realized the loot was useless

[wet mountain]

K

I consider this a flat failure of the new loop. Because the tokens for it are not obtainable for me.

[median peak]

That's cuz they want you to spend money to get them lmao....... kinda thought that was implied 🤣🤣

[sour rampart]

Yeah I can’t even touch the lvl 41 Silent Hostiles even with the NX-01

[reef siren]

Reach bottom and keep on digging, no quality and no quantity year. Waves, got another upgrade: hostile disappear or ffs cloak and you only get error 200 message…

[heady knoll]

wel thats all token spend on useless loot ,and my t8 vorcha cant even kill the 53's xd yeah it will be a hoot killing 55's for loot i can actually use

[torpid cargo]

I don't think we are supposed to use the NX for these. I don't think the ships ability would work, so your basily using a ship with no shileds.

[sour rampart]

I even tried with my maxed out Auger and couldn’t touch them

[hidden night]

Yeah this is a freaking joke

[devout dragon]

So it seems almost no one can kill the level of the ships needed for their artefact requirements 😂 why oh why am I not surprised

Let me guess arc 4 new ship specifically to kill them and at a steal for only £99.99

[tame sphinx]

Once again Scopely shows it has no freaking clue what the actual players of the game experience.
It is incredible.
At least I can deny them my money for this. If enough people do it, who knows, perhaps the dumb one that thought this up will loose his/her/it's job.

[humble wharf]

As an OPS59, I an kill about 18-20 57-59 hostiles when take neutral or positive battletriangle. it's pure luck that I have an Interceptor as a prime faction ship, cause there's lot's of hull on those. Given the burning effect does direct hull health decrease, players with Explorers as their prime ship are at a distinct disadvantage. They get both the big critical hits and direct damage to hull, which probably results in way less kills at comparable powerlevels of the ship.

[violet hull]

Anybody planning to fix the exocomp store?

[devout dragon]

I just really wish I hadn’t decided to move up to the 50s before the arc 😂 my Newton stands no chance

[hidden night]

mt T10 Newton using PM Tucker was able to take 6 of the 51 explorers, ePic eData Tucker, laughable, got 2 with that crew.

[humble wharf]

I'm trying to analyse battlelogs from my alliance to see where they went wrong. As far as I can tell now its related to three things: 1) having a number of primes related to crit damage 2)level of artifacts 3)officer ranks for the recommended crews. The problem is serious as most can kill 0 or 1 hostile per warp token. And they are already logging off and checking out in disgust.

[last nest]

theres zero reason for token spaces other than them trying to fustrate people that want to finish events so they end up spending

[devout dragon]

Yes most of my guys given up and doing daily’s or switched off

[low thorn]

Adding my voice here, this was one of the worst game design decisions that you have ever pushed live. The decision to bracket loot that you need to grind from hostiles most folks below 60 can barely kill, behind unbracketed token systems, not even taking Shipyard level into account for those brackets - it just boggles the mind how you expected this to be "quality" or "enjoyable". People are blowing up and naturally dropping to lower systems to hit easier hostiles (As we have done for over 5 years) and thereby wasting tokens because this design is just - ludicrous. This is not doing better Scopley. This is confirming to us what we all already knew - your end of year message was not sincere and not to be trusted. I cannot believe that you playtested this in any reasonable way. This is, literally, garbage.

[humble wharf]

Just a tip that might help some, depending on your research. We have some succes with sending ALL support ships (Cerritos, titan-a, defiant) to the hub system, buffing up there and then travelling to the token systems. That does help a bit with the amount of hostiles. But again, very very dependent on the amount of research and tier of those support ships. The warp path is very slow, players without high-end warp research only have a minute or so to do their thing.

[vivid quarry]

They give an event store. Then give tasks that cannot be done so you cannot get the currency. Thanks a lot!

[scarlet nova]

Guys how about a new tactic, instead of flooding the channels - shield up and log out for the eve.
Engagement is the metric - let it fall off a cliff and you’ll get a half decent (and timely) response 😅

[hidden night]

Honestly all they have to do to address the issue is remove the grade type from the tokens; the other artifact tokens don't have a G4 or G5 break, there is literally no reason to redeisgn the system to make it harder, its already a pain and this makes it now dang near impossible. The mid and upper 40s guys are doing fine against the 41s, the upper 30s and low 40s folks are giving up already because they cna't even kill 1 hostile. As a low 50, and not a small 52 by any means, I'm in the same boat against the 51s, I got 6 kills on my last run, 6, great thats enough for me to pull 1 chest. Never mind the 20k 4* loot I ground out earlier that I can't use now. Horrible deisgn and execution, I understand that its meant to be challenging, I'm ok with that in theory but this isn't just challenging its bad.

[wet mountain]

Playtested*

*=with an OPS 70 G6 epic maxed out ship and recommended officer setup where all officers are of tier 5

[severe vessel]

Like so many of the new features recently, this will be something not to bother with.

[undone stag]

Entire arc has been a pile of 💩 with OP Hostiles. Same as the waves.

[swift birch]

I am a level 52 what hostile do I kill and with what crew?

[modern crane]

Agreed with all the other feedback above. Having different level hostiles, drop different loot types, for different ops levels, all in the same area/loop is nonsense.

I guess you want us to have to start the loop over everytime we ops up into the new range instead of them sharing the same currency. This is definitely a huge quantity increase, not quality.

[mild cobalt]

If the new systems could just have the level hostile in them of the system level, rather than multiple different levels, that would be great. As enjoyable as it is to have a level 60 pop into the 55 system, kill all the 55s, and leave only 57's for everyone else, would be great they were all 55s like in normal leveled token systems.

[gentle shale]

One thing I miss is the good old days when you could buy the BattlePass knowing you’d get at least one officer …….

[hidden night]

there is literally nothing different about the Temporal Disruptor token used to pull the artifact shards; every Temporal Artifact uses the same Temporal Disruptor token, only the Temporal Disruptor Parts tokens change, so whats the point of having a 4* and a 5* version if they get converted into the exact same thing? its just insane.

[sacred garden]

#gordonai that’s not true what you said about mid lvl 40’s I’m 44 and I can’t beat a single one of those and barely can do a few of the 40’s xindi.thats using a t7 voyager with several maxed officers and all other officers near maxed on it.

[devout lintel]

If you have to ask, then the answer is that they are trying to milk the whales for as much money as possible

[hidden night]

Oh I absolutely know that, its been clear for months now, heII they won't even try to deny it anymore lol

[last nest]

the only thing scopely is good at is making useless different currencies to fill up your inventory and crash the game more

[solemn bobcat]

No money being spent on this game this month. You've given me an impossible thing to do, I can't kill the silent hostiles even with the crew suggestions. Waste of my time even trying. Oh and yet another grind, when you said you were reducing the grind 🤔

[sacred garden]

Epic fail, great to add new things downer that the stuff so impossible to beat despite having maxed two fc offers for lvl and maxed tech for lvl all the other buffs you can get from faction stores forbidden tech stackable weapon buffs from projectiles strongest ship and officers and other buffs from@ syndicate and station and barely only able to scratch the paint. Nicely done scopley no one at recommended lvl going to beat these

[kindred lion]

Waves giving an error exception 200 and not working at all 🥺

[fathom gulch]

you have got to be kidding Scopely.... i spent all my tokens grinding in the first system. got 65K UC Temporal Disruptor parts... and you're telling me because I'm lvl 46, I can't even use these things?????

[pine sable]

New system ops 38 plus yet a maxed G3 epic can’t even kill one hostile with buffs

[mint crane]

The new hostiles are way too tough. Used a t6 Corvus with the recommended crews and blew up on my first hit. This loop stinks.

[limber mesa]

not the best ship for the job, definitely not a good crew for it.

[strong geode]

The system I need to go to is too far 😦

[naive stream]

Then what is the best ship in your opinion? No use in holding back info for your fellow players.

[fleet cargo]

Ok, so you mean to tell me as a fairly new level 40, with an -almost- maxed 3 star epic ship, that has 2 exocomps, is supported by the cerritos, with the battle triangle, AND the crewing YOU suggest, I can barely SCRATCH a level 41. Like how is that even remotely fair in anyway, for anyone! Forget this horse hockey that is refineries and such, I can't even do the SMS events YOU created. Make it fair.

[limber mesa]

using severus/decius/charvanek(most effective crew it seems) and a momaveen you'll probably do best.
next best at your level is a decently built up G4 faction ship.

both can get stronger than an ops51 locked voyager.

[sullen matrix]

So with those you basically shouldnt go along the battle triangle against Xindis. What a horrible design that contradicts other content without being able to turn it off

[oak lava]

https://tenor.com/view/bart-simpson-the-simpsons-at-least-you-tried-fail-failure-gif-7859548

[limber mesa]

get the crit floor favor maxed first, then they won't have an effect on xindi anymore.

[sullen matrix]

great, i need to farm for content to make other farmable content not bad for old content

i pretty much save a lot of time if i just shoot the same shiptype

[vocal pollen]

Oh wow, 2024 will be a pretty tough year to keep playing STFC …

[cursive gale]

these should be like current artifacts so you won't have to unlock them when you get enough shards. I think it's ridiculous they added them, but as pointed out they can wait till after you have crit floor maxed in a few years 🙄

[naive stream]

You comment just made me realize I haven't updated my username on this server in a LONG time. LOL I'm actually a L56 ON S41

[sacred garden]

#marvinrvdv best I have, point is that the hostiles are way to high, heck barely even able to do the 40-41 xindi’s as for crew it’s my best since they are the highest

[sullen matrix]

just good that the NX01 will still eat my credits for an additional 2 months or so XD

[limber mesa]

i forget to look at names.
my reply was based on the screenshot of the guy i replied to before.

[robust knoll]

At Ops 56, I only see the 55-60 artifact refinery, which requires rare disruptors. Does this means it’s entirely pointless to grind for the UC ones?

[cursive gale]

yeap

[dense prawn]

Unless for the sms today it is entirely pointless currently yes

[pliant patio]

Scopely, stop adding new grind stuff and fix the current game first ffs.

[snow dew]

Completely agree, though I'd add that recently they seem to be ignoring mid level players too. On my server most of us are in the ops 40-50 range, yet the whole Enterprise arc is pretty much aimed at 50+ for it actually being even close to what they claim.

[cerulean snow]

Silent enemies and the fact that they're locked in token systems is garbage. That combined with the fact that it's another loop. Not sure if I'll be spending any money on this until you fix this and make it a playable feature. In general it's impossible to finish the sms and grind parts for my ops because I can only grind 53 silents max and need 55+ for the refinery. This is like carmadas and forbidden tech all over again

[umbral pumice]

Worst event store ever. Every arc a new grind. Just pushing new stuff to squeeze money out of players.

Every arc i think that must be the low point, feedback is so bad, players quitting, they gonna change something. But you still are able to make it worse.

[desert sigil]

Silent enemies are the worst you ever came up with. And you done really bad stuff before tbf

[hoary linden]

whoever thought it was a good idea to have 2 vastly different difficulty of hostiles in the same system needs to be fired. The only people 'reliably' killing the 49s don't even get loot they can use from them.

Do you have marketing doing game design? Pretty sure they're the only ones that could make sense of why you're tuning hostiles to max everything

[desert sigil]

Just realized, you really don’t care, do you? 😂👌

[last nest]

still think waves are worse imo 🤣

[desert sigil]

Well the waves do pay out something valuable for a slight bit of effort, whilst the Silent enemies give nothing for people that won’t buy like 5 primes to be able to actually kill the hostiles they need in order to trade in for the new artifacts. So they’re just worse by all means

[tepid valve]

I’m Ops55 and when I go to my Artifacts tab, it says I need 5* Temporal parts to convert into Temporal Disruptors. And that I have to kill Silents in lvl 55-59 systems to get them. So I waste 2 tokens getting my butt kicked in the lvl 55 system. Then I decided to check out the lvl51 system, lo and behold the Silents there drop 5* parts also. Obviously proof reading is a foreign concept at Scopely 🤦‍♂️

[tepid bramble]

One set is rare, the other is uncommon, if that makes a difference 🤷‍♂️

[young ibex]

So, y'all are too focused on how to get more money out of people you can't even finishing writing for a mission?

[tepid valve]

Lol yeah it does. But in a bad way cuz if I have no choice but to farm 55-57s then I can kiss the Into the Unknown SMS goodbye and getting even a single pull is gonna be a real struggle

[stark night]

Please bring back “quality > quantity”.

Adding a third new grind (2 of which are token locked) is the exact opposite.

Not to mention the poor design with scaling. General consensus is players 50-55 (who cannot build a G5 rare ship) have been given the very short end of the stick with these new grind loops. Where’s the QC? Does anyone actually play test these events using “normal” accounts (i.e. not maxed officers/favors/research)??

[last nest]

thats funny it means they use an api to grab names lol

probably written with chatgpt code

[fluid mist]

pretty sure all of the actual players are the testers for the stuff they do no "pre-testing" or if they would they'd know 90% of the average players base(non whales/higher spenders) cant possibly do these new hostiles but then again I'll prolly get warned for speaking facts and going against channel policy as it seems happens everytime i speak about the ball being dropped

[runic harness]

Need a place for all to spend this rss.. getting tired of "out of reach events/loot" @here

[indigo sentinel]

Two pieces of feedback from a day one player ops 53:

1. I don’t mind hard hostiles. I actually like them.
2. Locking said hostiles behind token systems isn’t fun at all.

Look at SMS completions in a couple of days please and review how this is set up.

[tepid bramble]

Yup, I am in the same boat (ops 55 and my ships can’t handle the loops. And I am a 250+mil ops 55 mind you, with a lvl 78 mess to give you an idea on my officer situation.

[fluid mist]

As can be seen ops49 been playing for almost 5 years. I spend on arc bp and occasionally a monthly elite pack. How pray tell can an average player reasonably handle these ships. The npc lv46 is lowest 1 i can hit for loot needed, and i need 3k per refine. Hard is ok but if it was full hull on the npc i wouldnt have been able to kill even the lowest of the hostiles I'm supposed to hit. So what it's making me feel and think is this new content is basically telling me that i cant play thos game any longer unless i wanna double down push up to the 50s and be even weaker than i am now considering I'm behind on research

[ripe ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/pooh-think-gif-8829751109291692418

[vapid swallow]

Well done for breaking the community and game Scopley. This has broken my bother, I will not be buying any packs or Battlepass’s anymore. I may even leave completely as it is absurd how you make new content looping more then the last, worse then the last and call it quality

[vale wasp]

The Severus crew(+Paris BDA if possible) from the patch notes looks like the entry level one for lower development players. I'd try that + cerri buff. Make sure that this research in Starships is maxed as it will double your ship's total SHP while buffed:

[fluid mist]

ya i remembered the crew after i had got in system and that research you put aint that high on my end but I'll try the cerritos buff too gonna need to be able to kill way more than 1 a trip for me to bother though as tokens wont last forever rofl

[vale wasp]

Most things boost % of base, and subject to diminishing returns. This one is unique in boosting total final, making it extremely powerful. Since your ship is depleting shields in the fight, it would greatly help survivability.

[lilac oar]

Leave it to Scopley to make another group of events that F2P players cant do unless they spend. Good job! LVL 41 F2P player with many of the Silent crews referenced in the Scopley video. No Joy. Thanks

[tepid bramble]

@tacit obsidian not sure who you need to say something to, but this is beyond ridiculous. And that 57 was boosted with both Cerritos and Titan, and before your start, I am in the upper 5% of power for my level. And if I cannot do this…well, someone does not know the game well in the production side of things.

[main gale]

Just gonna say, this entire arc needs help, the hostiles are bad, why make it s token space if you are going to make the hostiles this ridiculous.

[sly belfry]

You should add a refinery so you can refine UC Temporal Disruptor Parts to Rare Parts. Personally I hit the wrong hostile before i discovered that i cant do my refinery. But to prevent this to stack up in the inventory as player lvl up. There should be a conversion option as player tend to stack up on loot. As this is a token loot, this is an exclusive loot so there should be a conversation option. Very frustrated now when I discovered this. Hope you can look into this as i guess many players will do similar mistake, due to lack of instruction of not reading your instructions correctly.

[finite mural]

it's being 'discussed"

[lilac oar]

I remember something about quality over quantity. Am I wrong?

[vocal widget]

I'm thinking they actually meant quantity over quality.

[ruby umbra]

Was a typo, need to hire proof reader

[hardy gorge]

Yeah, I'll be more ok with this new loop if I didn't just waste a token hitting 41s and 44s to get unc loot that I cannot do anything with in the artifact building, only rare loot can I do stuff with

[wind shell]

The fact g5 are punching down to the 41 system for silent enemies for loot they can't use. Along with that having been the case for g5 players hitting the 34-35 Xindi. These loops seem to have quite the issues...

[junior sierra]

quick new hostile feedback. 46 system is cleaned of 46s. Hostile turnover takes way 2 long if no one is killing the 49s. Buffs mainly go wasted, time suck isn’t cool.

[glass monolith]

When yall got the f2p and the whales all complaining about the exact same thing yall should probably say something, fix something, make some sort of announcement/response.

Been a mess all day. Think we all deserve a response here.

[atomic harbor]

@tacit obsidian When you have multiple of your top spending players complaining about this new arc and new events. You know you have a problem. Not to mention the casual spenders. But again and again you have showed you don't care.

[queen hawk]

scopely just needs to throw in the towel, step down and let another company take over this game before it gets completely ruined.

[lilac haven]

Use janeway Torres and the doctor... vs 46s. 49s will wipe out your shields...

The Silent Enemy buffs are incorrectly described (what's new) the 350% + crit damage is cumulative... by round 4 their damage output is 3x the 1st round

[ruby umbra]

was correctly labeled, says at start of each round

[lilac haven]

+350% crit at the start of the round, means it falls off at the end of the round. Cumulative means it's added without falling off. Scaling unlimited.

With a t8 54mil Newton with janeway crew listed you should get 60~100 46's down on a hull (high end-explorers only, low end indiscriminately killing)

Xindi buffs are clearly cumulative. Officers that buffs at the start of the round vs cumulative

[wind shell]

This new loop is as badly calibrated as the Xindi loop, but with tokens to make it even less playable. Great work!

[lilac haven]

As in my bug report I asked them to update the buff it has and implied it's normal for descriptions to be wrong. (I'm not wrong in this) D'Jac's officer ability "malus" has perturbed me since I reported it 3+ years ago. Why it's reported differently makes zero sense. To share an exact ability with Kumac makes zero sense

[jade sun]

875000 what though? Rare 5*, ship parts, lat, cream cakes, toenail clippings???? 😆

[maiden gate]

I guess I should say thank you @tacit obsidian and $copley... you've made this new arc unplayable by even moderate spenders so I guess there will be a lot of other hobbies and projects that will be done instead of sitting on my phone playing STFC...
The first 2 Arcs were at least playable... sure, a player had to "hit down" and it took more grinding to do, but they could still complete the loops....
Whomever decided to set this loop up this way by making the only hostiles to drop loot to complete a loop would be hitting "equal" , THEN limiting the zones by a token wall.... AND not even making a simple refinery for someone to be able to "trade up" to get the type tokens one needs to do the loop ... Sure did a number on the game.
Probably should mark this occasion down as the exact moment you and the devs killed the game.

[finite mural]

dilithium i think it was

[grave hawk]

As a whole they don't care at all. If you're still playing this game that means they got you and they're going to bleed you dry.

[jade sun]

So definitely not toenail clippings then? 😆

[elder pollen]

Another toy store instead of the materials we need! 🤦‍♀️

Now we basically stop growing for a month while we get a trickle of coins …for what? Not much, shards for two officers and not much else, certainly nothing worth a month of effort.

[maiden gate]

Ops level 51 and 52 are technically G5... but we have no G5 warship till 53... my Pilum is Tier 8! (Not in ANY way weak) and the research to back it up.... yet I can kill a SINGLE 51 "Secret Enemy" per trip... the lowest level hostile to drop the uncommon loot you are requiring my Ops level (52) to use for the loop turn in.... Think about that $copley.... just HOW is someone going to get enough loot to do a single loop pull ... let alone the bonus to get a triple?

[finite mural]

hah

[lilac haven]

Hmm loot chest icon (top right)-> artifacts tab -> restore temporal artifacts -> click rss in top right to tell you the hostiles you need

[glass fulcrum]

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-dr-malcolm-shade-poop-pile-gif-5038564

This arc…. 3 loops in 3 months. I log in to folks quitting and complaining that they can’t engage with the content. This is quantity, not quality. Doubt if anyone even pays attention to this anyways

[maiden gate]

Well @royal solar did say there will be more content at the mid arc maintenance... maybe I'll check back into the game then to see if they've fixed this dumpsterfire of an arc by then.

[lilac haven]

Janeway/torres/the doctor + Cerritos (100% shield buff)+ Titan A (100% shield buff) = easy prey. You should have a shield buffer of at least 90mil.

[maiden gate]

So Ceritos buff and fort every time I want to try to kill 2 or 3 hostiles a day... THAT'S sustainable....... so what about when I need to Max fortify and Ceritos buff to get my aquatics done .... oh wait.... guess I'll have to choose one or the other .... GREAT game plan to make a player choose between doing the loop JUST introduced ... or the New one.

[lilac haven]

That whole recommended list is in favor of your ships dying.

Do the math 20% hull dmg with sev full synergy is 7mil dmg on a 46 silent.(14mil vs a 49) While you take over a million hull damage yourself. By round 4 you will be taking more than 4mil hull dmg.
With janeway Crew you take 200k hull dmg round 1, 150k round 2, 200k round 3. 220k round 4. 15k round 5 onward

[vale wasp]

The point of buffs is so that you can kill more than the single hostile you're capable of. Using both of them, on the hardest content in the game, is worth it to some people.

[lilac haven]

I just got my nx-01 this last incursions.... full synergy archer crew level 5 unbuffed granted 3~4kills in the 41 system...but 80k resources. PMC with the same ship gave me ~10kills but only 30~40k resources.
I only used PMC to finish the training arc of 50 aquatic kills.
Going forward I'm running full archer +loot crew. I'd rather get 5 kills and 2x the loot, than 10 kills and half the loot.

[split ferry]

Is anyone else having problems claiming the promo code or is it just me?

[hardy gorge]

One of the problems with that though is that people are struggling to kill the hostiles to drop the right loot that their artifact building needs for their specific ops range. They shouldn't need to have to resort to using a cerritos AND a titan to reinforce just to get a half decent amount of loot each day

[vale wasp]

Ent3 is for ops 38+.

[lilac haven]

There are daily rewards for using the titan-a abilities, and if you don't use the Cerritos daily you will be past cap by the time the Cerritos event comes round. Stop being stingy with the support ships.

[vale wasp]

For older content, I'd agree, but this is the freshest, unsolved content we have. We're not good at it yet, so crutches are fine til our legs are ready. Then we can maybe drop titan, the expensive buff, and eventually the cerri one too, which is basically free.

[split ferry]

oh.

[opaque iris]

Same problem at ops 55... i need to kill 55-59 silent that needs a g5 rare ship.

[silver plume]

ever since BP's came out I've faithfully bought it every month, last month for the first time I didn't because no NX-01 you can't even participate in the arc. There wasn't (isn't) even an option for a partial unlock so you can still participate for the low spenders. Traditionally the final arc is a catch-up mechanic for the FTP players to finally be able to participate in the arc except oops this time there's almost nothing from Enterprise arc actually in the event store (just 4 officers). So no for the second time I'll not be buying the BP and certainly not extra points for the store.

All the enterprise months have been too hard for normal players to engage in. This one is even worse, the others at least you can punch down and spend an hour or so grinding to get the hostiles you need but now there is not "punch up" for strong players and no "punch down" for weak players it's either have the right officers/ships at just the right ops level or don't participate. For the xindi 90% of the server grinds away in the 41 systems (or below), that's just poor hostile design to have 4 other g4 systems that nobody uses except to search for surveys (how about increasing their spawn rate by 10x). The hostiles literally punish people who have paid to progress (bought a crit chance prime can't turn that off) which is just terrible game design, since you literally made a $100 prime a penalty to those who want to engage in the arc. When freebooters came out, they were tough but pretty much everyone could kill an ops-appropriate freebooter, same with voyager, everyone could participate in the right ops level. From wave defense on it's been whales only and everyone else has to sit back and beg for handout (or not participate at all)

[lilac haven]

During incursions the transports were free game on both home/enemy server. Pop the 150% loot exo and you end up with 200k easy scraps.

[summer fiber]

I love how I can't finish the "into the unknown" sms because I'm out of warp tokens.

[opaque iris]

How quickly we forget..

back when this game was released you couldnt rush ops without spending time on ship progress, officers and research. Back in the day one couldnt progress if you couldnt kill the daily or event hostiles.

This new way of running arcs promotes slower ops progress until your ship, research and officers have caught up.

So just like the old days grow strong for ur ops or pay up for packs to get enough lat and materials for ur ship progress.

[summer fiber]

How quickly Scopely makes content, and doesn't adjust everything else to align with it. Difficulty of hostiles isn't a problem. Being unable to defeat hostiles at the entry level is the problem. When that leads to being unable to finish an sms, that's an even bigger problem. Why we have warp tokens for this is beyond me. Take that out of the equation and it's back down to the "entry level" issue.

[silver plume]

Couldn't agree with that less. Sure there have been a handful of players that skipped all ships and research for 10 levels and found themselves in a difficult situation. However even from the beginning if you knew what crews to run and made a bare effort to keep up ships you could participate in all the events and all the dailies. Sure you had to grind a bit more than those who were strong for their ops and could punch up. In 5 years I think I can count on one hand the number of times an non heroic SMS came out that I couldn't complete. You didn't even have to have the associated specialty ship to participate BB, Franklin, Stella, Vidar and many more you could do with a regular ship. Probably not win the SLB but all the rest of the events were quite doable.

There has been a dramatic shift in difficulty such that most players are being excluded

[storm oracle]

Tbh, they copied the Xindi, changed the abilities and did the same like the xindi, didn't test it before and screwed us all over

[cinder portal]

just looking at #👾-bug-reporting I only get one question in my mind

WHEN will you finally bring out a BETA branch and let a number of players test your code in a proper scenario way if you guys aren't able to do it yourself?

half of the issues and problems around the current content could have been cleared out before release. half of the bugs could have been cleared out before release.

honestly looking at the last two month,

• when introducing a ship, required for the content, but locked behind a 200 day wall or your lovely paywall
• now hostiles, needed for the upcoming arc and the event shop, locked behind a token wall, nmot able to even kill them on entry level, not being able to exchange loot you get from lower levels

ALL of this could have been harmonized and smooth when you would do or allow proper UAT testing. what you do is risking people to leave the game more and more (and we see already more leaving than starting it!), this will harm the brand of Star Trek also....

[storm oracle]

But testing on live servers is more fun 😜 More risk more fun 🤣

[summer fiber]

Yeah that's exactly what happened, I was generalizing because this has happened over and over. They took the content from a previous arc, added a warp token, and didn't make sure the sms was fully doable. Their own standard is that any sms that isn't labeled "heroic" can be completed by anyone.

Well guess what Scopes, once again most players without the needed ship and ship strength at the entry level can't participate. Unlike the initial Xindi release, players can't finish the dedicated SMS because of the warp tokens if they can't last long enough (more hostiles per hull). You folks have broken your own game to its core and it needs surgery to be fixed. Instead of eating the cost to perform the surgery, you just keep piling stuff on and use off-brand, poor quality Band-Aids to fix it. Sometimes they're used off-brand, poor quality band-aids.

[torn wharf]

where is latinum speed up???

[gleaming path]

According to last announcement silent enemy wasn't supposed to be in Q trials anymore yet after reset tonight still showed up on my Q trials

[frail latch]

You've got a 12hr speed up that covers the remaining time.

[pale garnet]

silent hostiles still showing up in Q's trials, so much for removing them

[violet dock]

Didn't we have Xindi hostiles showing up in Q trials last month? Did they fix that?

[brave prairie]

waves are fully broken again, the last real fun you brought into for long. again bringing nonsense and break yet implemented things...

[dense prawn]

+1 wave lag and bugginess is crazy now. Hostile dint appear for some players, the kill time is way way longer and it just an impossible mess currently. Major comp due in terms of wave currency is due, as its simply unusable right now and everyone is missing out on a LOT of progress here.

[torpid kelp]

@spare tulip @crisp dome pls fix the wave ´´exception_error_200 ´´

[ivory folio]

Can you please look at the power of the silent enemies? They are so strong that the lowest system is full of high 40s and 50s players. No chance for lower levels to get any event points.

[devout dragon]

Same here, insane - guess it’s a crap arc month for me

[sacred garden]

Had to reset my pc to factory settings. Re downloaded and installed stfc which forced me to start a new one, before I finally got my game back. Noticed it was different then my game with different features it had a tab up in the tab list were factions are that gave one for the battle simulator. Yet my game on phone and now back on pc doesn’t have that feature or the alliance tab by the mission tab. It was interesting

[jovial bone]

I’m leaving the game. The silent enemies is the final straw. Crew builds seem to work for done but then not others. It’s just become a huge head ache and I’ve become sick of these new impossible endless grinds.

[regal viper]

Can you fix the spawns on 41 Silent Hostiles? You cant have a system full of 44s because 99% of people cant kill them. So you end up with 10-20 players just sat there, waiting.

[fluid mist]

well last night at 7pm i was given advice i did 95% of said asvice and i forgot to use the ceeritos buff as i was recommended too here is the results a loss big surprise but the big thing is i lose in 4 rounds with higher officer bonus and a mitigation officer thrown in to helpcompared to my usual loadout of no below deck mitigation and just straight power up top. so least to say not happy will not be doing this grind and tbh i have 1 foot out the door with this game and I'm not the only 1 and that a fact if ya look at all the community comments thats in an uproar

[split coral]

Glad to see the whole 'quality over quantity' mantra working as intended...

[rotund geyser]

i hate this new slient crap !!@!!

[undone igloo]

What is the point of the uncommon drops as there seems to be no option in artifact building to use them only rates that most of us can’t kill?

[finite mural]

no point, scopely dropped the ball

[slender monolith]

I think they were unclear about what they meant. When they said “quality over quantity” it wasn’t about content, it was about players. Getting rid of the quantity, the poor, and being left with the quality, those with deep wallets.

[balmy iris]

Hello Scopely, level 55 here. Isn't that a great place to be at the moment? Please tell us how many percent of eligible players actually managed to do a refine from Silent Hostile loot. I would enjoy to see your amazing game design play out in numbers.

[ebon turtle]

I really like it that there was no heads-up for the building requirement of artifact galery 38+ for the new artifacts. So getting the amazing day 1 package means literally nothing if you need a few months of galery schematics. Nice 🙂

[indigo solstice]

Can we please have a starter zone for this new Silent Enemy? Trying to compete with level 53s for level 41 enemy’s is taking all day just to do the event😡 they can kill the 44s but I’m guessing it’s not worth their while

[little latch]

If you unlock those new orbs you’re going to have a harder time fighting xindi with the triangle.

[sonic valve]

Yes fix the spawn rate. We need more lower hostiles. No 46s spawning and only ones being hit

[maiden gate]

The same way a 51 or 52 (like me 52) is supposed to kill a lvl 51 -54 Silent enemy... and I have a tier 8 Pilum and good research....
It's unrealistic

[sonic valve]

There are 2 artifact areas. Ones in refinery, but that's for the overflow mechanic. You'll want to look at the other one. Either go to the artifacts tab in the gift section or go to the building and look there

[glacial wren]

Same experience here G2G. Frustrating and disappointing to say the least.

[clever orbit]

silent enemies are too hard, people with right crews in my alliance, are finding it very hard/impossible, people with 42 ship should be able to do the loop, people with 53 ship should be able to do the loop, yet they can only kill 1-2 ships with the recommended crewing

[indigo solstice]

Im guessing they are working out damage and mitigation for the people who have brought every prime and dmg boost in the game and not us light spenders or free to play as usual! 😡

[sonic valve]

But the artifacts one in refinery shows you different things. So you won't see it there either.

[earnest storm]

Cerritos buff + Titan fortication let's me kill 4 or 5. I'm not a big spender and in terms of hostile strength I'm ok with it. My issue is the spawn rates in the systems. Everyone ops 51-54 on my server is doing the same thing as me and we all want the level 51 hostiles.

I've only got 6 minutes of buffs and there are usually only 0-2 level 51 hostiles available. If 2 or more players are in the system it's a race for when they spawn and I'm likely not going to get 5 hostiles in 6 minutes.

Can we fix it similar to how the mantis was fixed where there is a minimum of 3 of the lower level hostiles in the system at any one time. Or just remove the higher level hostiles in each system because they barely offer any extra loot and cater to the .1% of players at ops 51-54 who can kill a 600M strength hostile and don't care about overall loot per token.

[agile creek]

the new silent hostile sms is unachievable for players. you need to rethink if the final milestone cannot be completed due to both the amount of warp tokens issued and/or the strength of the Silent hostiles. You have wasted the time of all the free to play players with this event

[drowsy igloo]

just nerf the hostiles by 90% and be done with it

[sonic valve]

Or remove the tokens. I've been sitting here for 45 mins waiting for something useful to spawn.

[cyan tide]

This new area is ridiculous. Tokens to get there, enemies way too tough for level, a billion trit or more per sms in repairs alone…what were you thinking? Ignoring that space

[clever orbit]

the balance is so bad, people in my alliance can barely kill 1-2 hostiles of the lvl they need, at 59 with a good 56 ship i can kill dozens of 55+ right off the bat, with a full loot crew

[sonic valve]

Yes the bottom of the bracket people are having the most issues. 41 and down, 46/47, 51/52, 55 etc. Cause even those who have the correct ship/crew don't seem to have enough research to make it grindable. (Except a few big spenders). Those finding it easier are at the top of their bracket with ships further along and more research. Most importantly, they can PUNCH DOWN. Those of us in the bottom of the bracket don't get that option.

[weary fulcrum]

Did everything “right” and still missed finishing the event by 50 points. This isn’t fun. this was not well thought out. Game is getting discouraging and not worth spending on. I used to, hesitant to do so going forward

[open horizon]

Scopley blocks reporting on hard facts I guess. Don’t go over 50 ! Scopley still hasn’t addressed the unbalanced event brackets

[granite glade]

@weary fulcrum same thought. Can't see spending anymore when I can't spend like a whale, which is what Scopely's driving to with these changes.

[dusk haven]

👎👎👎❗️

[topaz marsh]

I'm now confident the game designers at scopely are actively trying to stop us playing this game. That, or they have been lobotomised. No other explanation for how idiotic the game is getting

[vale wasp]

Engagement with the new artifacts isn't in the refinery, it's in the artifact store.

[eternal spear]

Hmm, previous message got blocked. Newly minted Ops54 player, now almost all my buildings take rare materials, but the refinery and battlepass only give uncommon. Really?!? Plus, the message that didn't post enabled slowmode and I couldn't try to edit it to figure out what the censors didn't like.

[umbral pumice]

New arc. New grind. New primes. Again.

Thats not quality over quantity. Thats squeezing whales.

But i guess as long as enough players spend, why should they change that?

But hey at least we got the worst event store.

Or massive rewards, like 600 loot for placing 26-50. So only 9 more slb placings for one shard. Exciting!

[vale wasp]

If you can't see inside, I think you'll need to update your client. If you can't manage a manual update, I'd uninstall/reinstall.

[grim tendon]

I never post in these things, but as a low level 55, I’ve got no shot at the silent 55. All the currency I earn for hitting 49 and lower is useless since there is no tab to exchange those at my level. Thanks devs!

[tepid bramble]

Yup, 55 is a bad spot.

[steady tendon]

Scopely, here is my “feedback”…

I’ve used 3 tokens and gotten a grand total of 4 kills. I’m ops 46 with a pilum. Been playing 5+ years. Slow advancing and staying up on my research. I’m done with this “feature”. If it requires me to waste all these hulls or use all these support ships boosts and exocomps to simply kill a red then I’m not wasting my time, my rss for repairs and speed ups for this poorly designed nonsense. Combine that with what to me seems like the worst event store ever, and my time in this game may be coming to an end if this is the path we are continuing down.

[kind stag]

This arc makes me want to quit this game. Where do I get a refund?

[hallow prairie]

I think they meant since the artifact refinery is locked behind the lvl 50 artifact gallery building, they wanted to know what was in it still. 🤷‍♂️

[indigo solstice]

Thank you Scopely for Scr*wing us lower level 40 players again (last month with the Xindi and now again with Silent Enemy….. not 1 level 41 enemy in the 41 zone and one pops 6 people go for it and normally a level 50+ gets it because they have a faster ship 👏

[cosmic knoll]

all systems have a hostile spawn limit. if your system is full of 44s, you have to kill a few to allow space to spawn the 41s ... its random so you need to kill a few.

blame is on the greedy gits who just target 41s. youre welcome.

[sick shale]

I was hitting 44s, and I get the impression without spending something the 46s were not going to work.

[waxen tinsel]

When people hit the 44s on my server, more 44s spawn…

[indigo solstice]

@cosmic knoll would love to be able to kill a 44 but I go boom…. And none of of the 46+ players seem to want to…they are just waiting for the 41 level hostiles (I’m guessing to win the SLB)

[cosmic knoll]

i understand, its like the new aquatics and their 30% go home gun that seems to have a 100% success rate of activating for some players.
i cant vouch for scopelys maths (because they simply dont care), but im sure it can be 'live tuned' and they simply wish to restrict scoring or force the higher players back into their designated systems by increasing the damage they will take getting rid of the 44s

[ivory folio]

The most cannot kill higher hostiles. I am 46 myself. can kill with the best crewset 2 lvl 44. thats it. The problem is that this enemies are much to strong. Usally i kill lvl 51 hostiles without scratches in the paint. Gave up meanwhile. I have not hours if time for such a stupid event. We have almost the whole server in one token system. thats ridiculous.

[cosmic knoll]

Jayneway + BLT/Doc + kirk, with hugh + paris + tendi + odo/troi below deck on an ENT will net you at least 4-5+ kills of the 41s or 44s (if youre strong) use exos
GL in the loop 👍

[vale orchid]

@pulsar leaf @spare tulip any ETA until we get the exocomp store back? How you even mess up something like this?!

[sinful socket]

There are a whole 5 level 39s on my server that have even scored in the SLB. If that doesn't tell you something about the overpowered nature of the enemies in the lowest system, I'm not sure what will.

[wind shell]

The exo comp store is still there, the tabs were rearranged and Scopely didn't fix the reference from the exo comp screen to the store, so the index now takes you to the territory tab. Exo comps are the consumables tab...

This is on par with the fact that Scopely programming doesn't understand how to do null handling exceptions

[indigo solstice]

All I am saying a level 41 system should have a cap on level 44 hostiles say 15-20% should be 44 the rest should spawn 41s

[old seal]

Imagine being Eco and trying to keep a straight face and pretend to be excited about this arc that Scopely have dumped onto us. I can see the pain in her eyes in that launch video 🤣

[polar silo]

I totally agree...I'm about tired of playing..I'm lvl 44...had to max xindi delay before I could kill lvl 40...now the silent ones wasted 4 tokens can't kill one...41...been playing since almost the beginning

[sonic grail]

scopely again missed the ball on the power requirements for non-whale players with these events, guess if i dont spend at least $300 every arc i'm not expected to be able to complete even non-heroic SMS's now

[polar silo]

No rewards on early last bp because of it and gonna be the same this one.... .

[humble wharf]

Give them time to correct their mistakes here, it's in their interest to keep players involved, agree that it's a very unthoughtful release. It will get better.

[silver geode]

Well played Scopely!!! Yet another event proving that now you've created more spending opportunities for whales the G3 players don't matter. Great business plan

[indigo solstice]

Another Faction from Star Trek Enterprise and another faction its ship cannot kill!

[lusty orchid]

The thing is the Whales can do the last 2/3 of the last 3 arcs without spending - then only thing they needed to buy was the NX-01 last month to do the aquatics/refinery. They haven't needed the new primes and stuff when they were dealing enough damage in the first place. The whole thing has been badly targetted as the spenders don't need to spend and the non spenders who won't spend are locked out.

[weary fulcrum]

I’ve given feedback, here and in the events-feedback. But i wonder - are there ever responses, reactions or changes from Scoply?

[silver geode]

Erm..... that'd be a big no. Us small guys don't have big enough wallets for them these days

[rotund elm]

This new arc is a joke I achievable with my ships Thanks scopely

[ivory folio]

i am total okay with pay for progress. but we are switching meanwhile to pay to win and that's not longer okay...

[glass fulcrum]

Lots of lag today (s40). I suppose the servers are having trouble stomaching this content too.

[karmic meadow]

Once again you arc creators overpower new enemies to the absurd point. Oh... its available for ops 38+. Name 1 ship and crew below ops 42 that can even handle 1 silent enemy. Give me a break and stop pandering everything to only the whales.. just because you've unlocked the 60s ops doesnt mean you stop developing things for all the lower ops.

[vale orchid]

Enterprise with Torres - Janeway - [morale] and Hugh + Paris + stats below deck 😉

[celest summit]

kim below lol

[nova sierra]

So much for worrying about our online time scopely u pile on more events in the Arc new currency new officers ship and yep more Grind time

[winged burrow]

This latest update put 7 day cool down on loyalty tokens so don't bother saving them. Scopely manages to screw me again. Why don't they focus on fixing things instead of restrictions on how we play?

[nova sierra]

even the new Arc u can't do unless ur ops 40 plus no thought for lower lvl player who by the way are the next generation of players yep scopely given them nothing and hope they stay great customer service you have as the game is spiraling to its demise u don't listen to influencers or even players your game is only ment for the whales to play do u think they can pay u back the 1b you spent on buying the game as they say you bought a pig in a poke u were conned

[celest summit]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[wind shell]

And the allegiance tokens cap at 7 or do you mean they capped the 7 day loyalty chests?

[winged burrow]

I saved my loyalty tokens to exchange when I jumped to ops 51. They now have a 7 day cooldown so i can't redeem all my saved tokens at once

[silk charm]

the 7-day's have always had a cooldown after you pull 4, that's not suddenly new.

[hallow prairie]

Secrets secrets 😂

[random folio]

The best you can do is turn in 2, then 1, then 2. Then 7 day cooldown

[winged burrow]

Thanks

[glacial wren]

@tacit obsidian will you be addressing the overpowered nature of the silent hostiles?

[junior lava]

Bring the rest of bridge crew of nox1 as officers. #reed #maywesther

[austere reef]

@tacit obsidian Thank you for update. More is better than less, in this matter

[cosmic field]

@tacit obsidian amazing update that has managed to completely gloss over everyone's primary complaint that the silent hostiles arc just simply doesn't work. And that no valuable items are in the event store 👎

[remote flume]

If they put things in the event store, they can't sell it lol. The problem now is that the game is on its way out and yet people continue to spend $100+ a month on it. Some spend way way way more. There's over $70,000 worth of research packs alone in the store. And there are people who continue to spend as if it will make a difference.

[fallow plume]

@Eco you forgot, that most ops lvl 41 and lower ,weren't able to finish the sms due to enemies firepower.

[limber mesa]

plenty of stuff they don't sell at all.

I've been wanting to get automated defence for my north star since i got it, over a year ago.

[gaunt wolf]

True

[cosmic field]

I have certainly lost interest in this game over the last year. Its now just a case of trying to keep up with big spenders, rather than focusing on your own development. All the materials/parts needed to progress are stupidly difficult to get if you don't spend $$

[remote flume]

Patience is the key. You can never outspend the big spenders... well, you can, but who really wants to blow 6 figures on a crappy phone game?! The only real metric for how well you're doing is whether or not you can complete your events/dailies easily enough. Waves and silent hostiles miss the mark because while they are supposed to be designed for x level players, they actually require you to be much stronger than the f2p research allows. I'm personally right on the edge of being able to complete the silent hostiles sms as a 44, but only if I have enough tokens. If you don't have at least 2 upper 50s in your lvl 40 wave, you have little to no shot of completing it tbh. That's not balanced at all. It should be something people in their 40s can accomplish if they're stronger enough. The lvl 50 waves should be the ones that require ops 50+ people.

[tropic crown]

Nice yet another promo code that gives the middle finger to anyone below 38.

[remote flume]

"Spend more" -Scopely, probably definitely

[maiden gate]

You aren't missing much .... the whole Arc is a middle finger to everyone playing from $copley

[storm oracle]

They want to fix bugs, the new hostiles seem to work as intended 🤣

[leaden forge]

Is there another promo code beside ent3

[cold yoke]

How about making the 46 (probably all of them) silent hostile system actually have 46 hostiles only in it. 49s are not killable or rather feasible. All the lower hostiles get picked off and you waste a token (because token, fog of war, then empty of killable hostiles makes sense with two tokens a day) and turn that 15m farm time into hours waiting for something you can hit. At least make them recycle hostiles to half "normal (haha normal)" and the twice the power higher ones frequently

[maiden gate]

No I'm sure he was referring to that one... but the arc content is for 38 and above (even though probably 80% of the player base can't "do" the loop)and I'm being generous saying 80%

[hallow prairie]

Any screenshots of the refinery? I’m curious still 😚

[tropic crown]

If you mean that works for sub 38 nope we don’t rate.

[upbeat dome]

Scopley working on $100 pack that will fix each bug. For around $2000 the game will function properly for two days, until the next bug.

[mighty oracle]

Sombody thought we all went ops 70 with Max research ships etc…. Learn the dame game and Cut Down the grinded time. Some of us have a life

[neat pier]

Only thing good about this arc is that it is the final part of the arc so we know it will end soon.
Everything else is painful.
Event store seems disappointingly sparse. Maybe because there are no must have officers amongst the 4 in the selection or that the pictures in the buckets contain items people want but are not there (charged nano probes for example).
Every part of this arc has introduced a new loop. All of them suck time into the screen. Most of them are difficult (impossible for some) and take many repairs to grind out the refines, or in the case of the aquatic hostile a pay only loop that could have been redeemed by adding the nx01 to the sparse store.
The newest loop will prevent players from ops levelling up. Why would they go up to a bracket they know they cannot complete and lose the access to temporal artifacts?
All in all a great start to the year of quality over quantity. You claim you can do better but you have not demonstrated it.
Now I finished ranting, please add stuff to the store and don’t turn the suggestions that people are putting in that channel into packs.

[dusky temple]

Didn't give much more to 38+

[tame spade]

It’s awhile ahead in the arc before I could get it, but was looking forward to getting Hoshi’s avatar pic.

Checked it and says available in battle pass over flow. I checked overflow… nothing is there for it. @tacit obsidian

[thorny root]

This ARC blows balls

[sinful pecan]

I would like to applaud all the hard work that went into the last few arcs. Never before have I been so unmotivated to participate in daily events as I am now. The value of our time and money has plummeted with no sign of bottoming out.

[exotic wave]

waves completely borked, with individuals joining but not appearing

[trail halo]

@tacit obsidian @tidal notch @pulsar leaf @spare tulip @torn saffron @crisp dome why was Xindi scraps removed from Xindi-aquatic hositle loot? before and after arc examples.

[finite mural]

I just killed a xindi aquatic and still had the scraps? sure it's not a visual bug? did you check your totals? there's a bug with battlelogs and surveys not showing para

[trail halo]

yep

even shows on stfc.space that they dont have them. only tech modules https://stfc.space/hostiles/640865643?c=$stats:false%26fp:false%26locs:false%26cargo:false

[runic nova]

<@&509690795536941056> Waves are broken as feck, no one can see each other or see if anyone else has joined

[sinful walrus]

I've just tried 3 different ways to report a bug but the chat just says "thanks..." and closes without the option to provide details or upload a screen. I despair that $copely will ever include QA in their release process.

[mild fulcrum]

You can wonder if this is a ‘bug’ that should get high priority, you can anyway try to email them

[vernal wyvern]

how do I gain rouge points?

[open tinsel]

So now CS is saying that the occasional recurring items with a purchase quantity limit are a lifetime account limit? I can never purchase another Explorer Strike Team pack? When did this start?

Are the ship packs that run during Officer SMS’s included?

I know some packs have a permanent limit, but others only have a purchase limit for that particular sale(ie ship packs during an officer SMS, and some officer packs).

[slender monolith]

If I remember correctly, killing Eclipse Transports for codes and exchanging them in the Rogue store once it’s unlocked

[tidal notch]

Team's working on it. We're pushing to get a fix.

[rough quiver]

When did it start that support cannot find your player ID when the game restarted into a new game!! No way I’m doing all of this again!! Was ops 53!!!
Where is support?? With the quality of the game play??

[ripe ridge]

<@&509690795536941056> is there an update on the waves issue yet? it's been 24hrs and can't seen anything on your update comms?

[finite mural]

#⭐-official-announcements message

[ripe ridge]

not sure if that's in relation to my question, but there's no mention about waves there.. at all

[finite mural]

"▫️ Exception Error 200 has been popping up a lot more often since the update and we're currently investigating" is in regards to waves. And literally right above your post, obsidian mentioned that they're pushing for a fix.

[cerulean snow]

Hey scopely, the entire silent hostiles system is trash. Might as well just have said you get 150 disruptors a day from the store

[nova sierra]

i have oe problem
this night im was hacked, and hacker have spam a discord
im YuChan, can yoiu deblock me ?

[ripe ridge]

we weren't getthing an error message like that during waves when we reported it. It was just not working, so meh to that reply. Also, if you think I'm gonna troll through 100+ messages 'to catch up on since i was last online, i've got other stuff to get on with. The comment I did just read tho: 'we're pushing to get a fix' isn't an update. It's a 'we're sent another message, we don't know anything'.

side note - unless you're a community manager, and are able to speak for them, I'd request you not answer.

[ebon elbow]

Could there be an update to the game that yes some ships are "can not be scrapped", but in the occasion when a player has 2 of them could it be allowed to the option to scrap down to 1 left of the ship that is not scrappable for players. Example : 2 Discovery, 2 Franklin-A, 2 Freesha etc. And could be an option to scrap Hijacked Ships? Let me know if this is a place to post this or somewhere else.

[polar basin]

Never use the word for : 💩 - as feedback for Scopely or you will get warned by the admins and your free speech will be censored.

[finite mural]

this is a discord server, your free speech goes as far as the mods allow it to.

[polar basin]

That I believe would not survive in court.

[finite mural]

Sure it would. This is the internet, you don't have free speech on the internet. Also, the first amendment applies to government entities, not discord communities.

[polar basin]

I read up about it. You are right. They can do whatever they feel like. So from now on only praise for Scopely

[finite mural]

Constructive criticism is fine, if you saw my post history on here, you'd blush as much as I give em grief for issues I have or have concerns about, but I'm still here and they actually gave me an upgrade. But saying things are 💩 is not constructive really. And what collateral said, part of being part of their system.

[silk charm]

blame discord itself about the curse words. iirc it's the price of being official

[tired fossil]

what is this terrible attitude towards f2p players??? I'm level 55. They tell me to kill 55+ ships. but I can't even kill normally 53. will work out. I can't get chests or process resources. a slap in the face from the developers. they want more and more money. Apparently I need to leave.😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

[fathom gulch]

Hey Scopely... so... What happened to the whole "quality over quantity" thing you guys were talking about at the beginning of the year?

How many more broken loops are you guys planning on adding this year exactly? And how long do you think the player-base is going to put up with this?

[sonic valve]

The answer is pretty simple as far as a fix.

1. You can just remove the tokens. This would allow people to come and go if the hostiles aren't spawning they need and allow you to bring in boosting ships to help kill them
   And/Or
2. Just make all the silent loot the same and adjust refineries as needed for different ops. This would allow people to hit down. ( except 38-41, they need another option)

[radiant quiver]

Not sure if anyone else is having an issue, but I’ve just spent time grinding DQ hostiles with my Voyager, and the hostiles dropped zero loot. Tried in 2 systems, 13 hostiles. Nothing :/

[silk charm]

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

[radiant quiver]

Weird. I’ve never even come close to that limit. I’ll check on it after reset to be sure. Thank you!

[silk charm]

If you put a lot of ships in augment space or something similar, that's usually how people run into it.

[pallid osprey]

Game is dead

[finite mural]

https://tenor.com/view/princess-mostly-dead-slightly-alive-the-princess-bride-gif-15503255

[fossil bolt]

What I don't understand is why everyone is complaining. If you are in the game for more than a month, you know the new arc will bring new grinding, new loops, will introduce new bugs, will break parts of the game that are barely working, will have unachievable events coupled with new Scopely packs for 100$ that will be useless in the next Arc and you all know that with all the complaining, Scopely will still care a flying monkey about what the players think. So why all the complaining in the first part if you all know the monthly Arc drill 🤣

[low vector]

Because we want them to do better. Not give us more tokens, more buttons to click and more crew combinations to remember and switch between.

Complaining is fine, it means people want it to be better.

Worry when they stop saying anything.

[sleek sparrow]

Waves are broken

[ruby zinc]

Your Silent ENEMY mission SUCKS!!!! WASTED TOKENS FOR NOTHING

[kind star]

This is the third arc this year and the third time that they have only annoyed their customers. Quality = 0, service = 0, greed 100%, stupid new content = 100%, annoying grind = 100%. So many players are frustrated and thinking about quitting. Good work, scopely. You guys are really talented.

[ruby zinc]

No matter what you use, you end up dieing first hit. WHAT THE HECK IS THE POINT IN THAT AND ONLY 2 WARP TOKENS GIVEN PER DAY ..

[slate chasm]

I would agree but that’s not true. It’s true for some people but you haven’t provided information as to your scenario

[kind star]

That would be simple and smart solutions for customers. Scopely doesn't know anything like that.

[vocal pollen]

I just got OPS 46 a few days ago and cannot finish any of these new events. Do you think this can be rated as a good user experience?

[lost current]

Why can't people spell and do Grammer properly. First pic it's "light" not "like". Second pic is "us" not "him" as in "...if he wants to do our job for us..."

[nova sierra]

You have the wrong captain. Severus must be the captain, otherwise the crew will not work. You have Decius as captain... that's why you burst immediately

You know if I was to start this game today within a week it would be deleted. Still waiting to see if content creators really ever saw the show? They have new officers that have mining abilities combat bridge and science officer mining. Now my medical officer improves my borg cube cutting beam.my ships are moving through syrup during waves, not including double taps to target.now I’m a 57 yup not all my research is complete since I limit spending to being almost free to play. So the parameters for the new temporal made up artifacts is unobtainable due to the power of my ship and my ops level. Listening to Rev Duce at times makes it sound like all can be finished in few hours, what universe does he play in? I have so many grinds even with freebooters they never get completed. Sure you’re saying this is challenging, no it’s frustrating since without money in your pocket there is no real accomplishment.with this new level 70 I might as well be a 30 something again. I am kinda curious since I know a few people at my level have left the game, at what point does this become a game again and not work?

[odd berry]

Only way to enjoy the game is drop some of your goals. You can’t finish all or you’re playing 24/7 by now.

[sinful walrus]

Well... despite the majority of the English-speaking world using essentially British English, they are predominantly Americans and are therefore using Simplified English to begin with, and so, as they are not native English speakers it is only to be expected that spelling and grammar mistakes will be common in the game text.

[fluid mist]

just for giggles i went with the same crew and screenshotted it for you to prove i had them in right area its not the crew its the miles and miles of research that i dont have done because I'm an ftp and dont have years and years of speed ups(or latinum) to catch up on research I'm behind on and look it was almost dead too.....

[torpid cradle]

When will the Artifact Refinery get fixed? When can we stop asking for fixes period?

[vocal reef]

This crew worked flawlessly yesterday for me and today it does NOTHING .... I don't get it. More Scopely magic at work I guess. Thanks for SFA Scopely!

[vale wasp]

Severus' ability is what takes it down to "almost dead." All of that black bar listed for hhp in the report is from him. The red bar is damage from the ship's guns. You almost have enough to win. Did you cerri buff for that fight? titan max fortify?

[quaint haven]

You spelled grammar wrong.

[muted elk]

Remove this stupid and unlogical silent hostile in Q-trial 💩

[indigo solstice]

Loving this Silent enemy starter area! Lots of 41 mobs and today no ones farming them

[torn basin]

What tier are your officers? What do you have below deck?

[strong hill]

Absolutely thee worst patch in the 3 yrs I've been playing. I stopped trying to kill silent's the 1st day. Going to get lots of free rep grinding in on this patch

[tepid valve]

Ops 45 and Ops 55 players have the same problem in that they do not yet have access to rare Faction warships. Yet in this new loop, the 45s can punch down by farming 41 and 44 Silents while the 55s have to get their butts kicked by 55 and 57 Silents. Why?! So unfair and seems totally arbitrary. What is your reasoning Scopely?! 😒🤦‍♂️

[sacred crane]

Is this the first time ever of an announcement with no 💩 reactions? #⭐-official-announcements message

[nova sierra]

Sorry, but someone kills the ships with OPS 46. at least 3 or so. With Servus Crew, I also only kill 10 x 46. Do you at least have Hugh & Paris on the lower deck? There are better crew so you can make 20 or so

[sullen crest]

now the 46 system is 99% filled with level 49 Silent hostiles...way too tough for me to kill at ops 46....I think the spawning needs to be more balanced

[paper oar]

Just wanted to say thank you for the positive change and keeping it towards Technological Distinctiveness rewards

[vast basin]

@uncut spear @tacit obsidian what about the fact fresh ops 46 can’t reasonably reach the silent enemies you expect them to kill?

[dim verge]

I like the change for phlox’s ability, but just not for phlox. That ability would be better suited on an ex-Borg officer. Phlox’s ability should be something like “guest lecturer” - reduce cost to use NX-01 ability.

[fluid mist]

yes i have hugh and paris below decks but look at your ship power compared to mine. There's a big difference of 20 mil there dont get me wrong i should be able to kill 1. Just because someone is the same ops lv as someone else doesnt mean ship power, research, officer level, and tc buffs is the same. Things many people(including myself) when i talk with other alliance members forget to include in comparing or advising in these scenarios

[torpid cargo]

Too easy. More challenge please, Scopley.

[nova sierra]

That's why I said yes... OPS 46 with 20 million Newton actually kills 3 of the 46 silent enemies. 🤷🏻‍♂️. Lower deck officers are also missing in your screenshot. It doesn't matter... it's the way it is. Try Jane, Torres, E Data as a crew... maybe you'll succeed with it.

[worthy trench]

Heres the problem i see....the 49s are too big of a jump from 46s almost dbl the hull health not to mention dmg/def....on my set up i can kill 18-20 46 ints (per trip) which allows me to take home 10k in loot BUT i can only kill 2 49 Ints (per trip) to take home only 1.9k rare loot...the 49s thus are cloggin up the system turning this loop grind into a MULTIPLE hour watch for the 46 ints......pls FIX THIS!!!!! the power difference in 1 system is rediculous....you guys got lazy and didnt want to spread the hostile levels over more systems like EVERY other token space....i dont have an issue with any other part of this grind except this point

[errant zinc]

I'd like to express my frustration with in-game rogues and a lack of any ability for the general population of players to be able to take MEANINGFUL action against them. In my nearly 3-year experience playing this game, rogues drive many quality players from the game. Rogues are a small subset of players, and in my experience they seem to be the cause of many poor experiences for a large number of people in this game. There needs to be something, so that the greater population of players can combat these very few others that are intent in stealing joy within the game.

[limber mesa]

voyager, mantis, and auto-defence kind of help...

now if only auto-defence was more accessible...

[errant zinc]

I made sure I used the word meaningful. As it stands now, no, there is nothing meaningful the general population of affected players can do to combat rogues that really hurt gameplay, qualtity of the game and longevity of players in the game.

[lime zealot]

Why Kim? He does nothing there 😅

[torpid cargo]

Synergy only. BLT, and Paris are below decks.

[lime zealot]

I mean, Doc does better above for survivability I'd imagine, giving a longer run versus more loot on a shorter one.

[errant zinc]

BLT... Boimler, ?, Tendi.... Who's the L?

[jade patio]

Xindii drops nerfed? I’m getting widespread reports that the Xindii drops have been cut virtually in half? Is this true? And if it is, Why….? Just…. why….?

[vale wasp]

BeLannaTorres.

Unusual, considering that's not how to spell her name, but some people use it.

[hoary lynx]

Torres will be better as an officer if she’s high tier. You’ll get more from the penetration than you will from the hull breach

[limber mesa]

it's a nickname she got from an ex boyfriend.

[vale wasp]

Oh that makes more sense.

[woeful nymph]

Excellent way to turn a potential disaster into something positive regarding the Borg Cube beam loot bonus with crew and Phlox. This will help players reduce the grind. Take the W you deserve on this one.

[torpid cargo]

I'm not so sure about that.....plenty of researches and favors that boost piercing. There are non of those for Hull Breach.

[nova sierra]

wow. chat ban is over

[rocky raptor]

right with you there buddy

[rich elm]

what is this "grammer" you are talking about ?

[idle portal]

Fix wave defense.
Ether enemies or allies aren't showing.
Or the game is crashing.

[half saddle]

@vale wasp Do the Devs understand that this is actually a counterproductive change for us? The Borg Cube has a small cargo & most of us have to warp for a few minutes to take it to our preferred grinding system. Phlox was more useful without additional loot increase officers BECAUSE it would only increase the Technological Distinctiveness gained, allowing more to be collected per trip instead of filling valuable cargo space with our auxiliary cargo.

[brazen prism]

Borg loot is not the main problem: it’s the warp range. Remove the barriers such as level cap and which tier your Cube is - the Borg Cube really needs this

[cursive gale]

Feel the need to mention that this change depends greatly. I for one love it, but I use the Dominion space to collect TD. The loot officers have more impact on TD because I have the Dominion loot research maxed. So more % TD per trip. Phlox's charge up change once in, may mean I don't have to hit as many hostiles once I have him. If so, less loot from that as well. That said as I recall the Amalgam survey hunting grounds were terrible at filling cargo rapidly due to using the surveys to get TD and loot officers would make that worse. But silver lining is the % TD to unwanted loot should actually be unchanged in that situation, just means you have less hostiles to hit now to get the same loot

[half saddle]

Right, but the beam also collects Jem Hadar loot, so it washes out versus an increase in only Tech Dist. Even though the beam charges faster, your loot boost officers increase the Do.inion loot as well, whereas the original ability would only increase the Technological Distinctiveness drop rate.

[cursive gale]

Example of what I mean here, Before and after. Sure a pure TD only loot booster means less junk, but in this case I'm now getting 25% TD/beam vs 14%. In this case I like both loot I earn since I can use both

[half saddle]

Okay, I get it. Even though we're using a loot boost that WILL fill the cargo faster to charge the beam, Phlox will increase the charge rate to negate the increase of auxiliary loot gained. But without Phlox it will probably be the same amount per trip with or without loot increase officers.

[cursive gale]

Pretty much, but in this case I don't mind more trips if needed. Honestly I'm stuck at my tier till I get a Northcutt to T6 and I only need 3k TD daily. That means 2 beams now instead of 6 get me enough for 1 day. I also only need about 12 days of refines before i have enough alloy for T10 once I do get T6 Northcutt. After that I will probably pause Borg Cube grind till I can get it to T10

[exotic wave]

any timescale on when you will be fixing wave defense as part of your quality over mediocrity?

[nova sierra]

mega lag is back in the server 126 were we not assured this was fix its just like everything in this game held together on a wing and a prayer fix the game instead of adding new content then it might stem the exodus of players

[limber mesa]

at cube lvl21-25 you can do it in romulan amalgam space charging off lvl40's and beaming lvl38's
1 hit full charge, and most of the time you can ignore the surveys(especially if you combine it with amalgam grinding)

[cursive gale]

yeap used that area several tiers. Now they just don't give enough TD to use anymore, but my cube is T7 level 35 now

[little latch]

@uncut spear "We were made aware that the loot crew is now affecting the Cutting Beam Technological Distinctiveness rewards, making the Borg Cube loop much, much better."

That's great, now can someone look into why all of us that don't have borg cubes can't buy blueprints in the event store?

[finite mural]

did you buy 75 last time?

[little latch]

I did, and I'm assuming that's why there's some issue with it not appearing in this event store.

[finite mural]

yes, if you bought the 75, it no longer shows, was to get a full unlock for those that did the free path on the bp, they could get the other half from the store

[woeful nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/kelsey-grammer-patrick-stewart-star-trek-frasier-tng-gif-9410380328809802386

[little latch]

So I'm stuck with 97/100, which is my problem. What about future players who weren't part of the arc? Are they stuck at 75/100 forever then too?

[finite mural]

for now, it's been raised as an issue as far as i know, haven't heard anything else about it.

[little latch]

That's perfect then. I'm not aware of any list of ongoing issues, so I just wanted some reassurance that it was noted to the devs/proper people. Or at least getting some visibility out there. Thank you.

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> I am sorely disappointed in the event store. The only thing I will be getting is Tripp shard and only because there is literally nothing else I want or need in the store.

And I mean that. I have all the hard to get ships in the store. The whip makes getting a second Feesha useless, there are no skins or projectiles worth chasing in the store. The only thing worth getting is Tripp because he helps the Voyager and silent enemy grind.

So I guess thanks for having 1 thing worth getting in the store.

[tidal notch]

Been passing this feedback on, and have heard that the team is discussing addtions to the event store. Hope to have an update soon.

[molten jungle]

Needs several additions. This is the most underwhelming end of arc store I've seen yet. Just because the schedule got changed one month ahead doesn't mean it has to be this bad.

[woeful nebula]

I want to thank Scopely for making me want to play this game less and less with each passing arc. Thank you for making me want to spend less and less. I can see myself leaving this game permanently within a month or two at this rate. I thank you, my wife thanks you, and my wallet thanks you.

[hot geyser]

There was a mission out with that arc. I don’t recall the name but I had some bp for the cube as a reward.

[oak lava]

remove tokens for grinding reds. it's dumb.

[little latch]

I had some real life stuff where I couldn't sign in as much. I missed out on one day of BP pulls.

[vapid rivet]

Finally Scopley comes through with their 'quality and quantity' promise - the lag on EU118 is much better in both quality and quantity this evening - its lagging much more (better quantity) and seems to be lasting much longer (so better quality) Nice one Scopes! 👍

[final plinth]

When you want to kill 55s

[worthy trench]

same with the 46s....they really messed up making the power difference so huge with in 1 system...they cheaped out on the # of systems for no good reason...i mean they just added FIFTEEN aquatic token systems with only 1 token per day but only EIGHT silents systems w/2 tokens per day

[subtle orbit]

I tried 3 times last to do wave defense. I kept getting code 200

[near crescent]

I agree i can only kill the 46s and now they are all 49s which i cant kill. Sitting in system doing nothing and waiting and hoping a 46 will spawn

[oak timber]

I’m getting the same problem. Is this a known issue?

[finite mural]

yes it is known, still being investigated.

[jade sun]

This is ridiculous. Cant get anywhere with the silents or the new temporal sms. ops41 . Considering throwing in the towel.

[winter oyster]

Can we remove waves. It’s been nice not doing them due to your wonderful game reliability. Just make it to a daily drip. Have a $10k prime to max out the loop. Usual business model just accelerated and we all save time.

[violet hull]

You guys (Scopely) got me halfway to a Moavenn…now I’ve no opportunities to finish.

[cold sphinx]

@tacit obsidian <@&509690795536941056> This is my sentiment right now...

[fair drum]

She has been too busy to be on, @surreal condor we miss you 😍 😍

[surreal condor]

Hii! I've been doing administrative things - including trying to breathe life into our neglected Reddit.

[fair drum]

GODDESS!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍 If anyone can breathe life into something you are that Goddess!

What is "local Daylight Savings Time" for an APAC server?

[midnight timber]

Can we remove the cooldown timer to summon 8472’s? It’s only purpose is to make us spend more time in game when we have so many other things to do

[olive summit]

Please add pve/hostile to phlox officer ability

[jagged flax]

At this rate, add 2 hours today, subtract 45 minutes tomorrow... It's already tomorrow... Fine, subtract 12 minutes and add 9 hours... Hope this helped

[pale garnet]

so, fleet commander researches no longer count towards faction researches

[nova sierra]

Dysfunctional waves, a Thursday with virtually no

[austere quartz]

Still popping up in q trials

[dense prawn]

.

yeah, i thought this was fixed

[flint elm]

Loving this quality over quantity approach. 3 enterprise arcs:
arcs 1 code in a problem to drive research pack sales. Cause a significant number of players struggle with engagement due to the way the hostile loop operates and the over egged hostile power.
Arc 2: new content for paying players only.
Arc 3: Cause a significant number of players struggle with engagement due to the over egged hostile power.

Honestly these 3 months have caused me to play less. There seems to have been a significant step change in the way the game mechanics and content are created. If there is now an expectation that players must take ships to T9, max research for ops, have mid tiered artefacts and push Forbidden tech to mid tiers etc then please just say so.

It's not possible to wait half an hour for a 46 battleship to appear. Divide systems by level

[graceful valve]

I found recent mission “Legacies “ objectionable in some of Tripp’s derogatory and insulting language for Vulcans: “knife-ears” and “green-blooded bastards.” Might’ve been ok if Archer - and especially Tpol checked him - but it exhibited racism and racist behavior.

[boreal ferry]

that’s pretty canon for enterprise tbh

[graceful valve]

Nevertheless, one might think it’s ok cuz Vulcans are fictional but let’s suppose it was a story for Hoshi and her ancestry and used terms like “slant eyes” and “yellow skinned bastards”. Not acceptable. Canon or not, for shame STFC writers!

[crystal mica]

Can’t kill a 40 xindi can’t kill a low silent enemy…
These updates and this game are no longer for me …

[limber mesa]

how else would you portray a racist character?

[slender monolith]

With a fun party, cups of tea and little cakes?

[pastel path]

Lol

[teal frigate]

@tidal notch @tacit obsidian were xindi scraps removed from enhanced aqua hostiles on purpose or is it a bug?

[limber mesa]

probably on purpose, as it turned the entire xindi grind into a 5 minute grind with 5 minute warp time included for the people who know the right crew.

[teal frigate]

So this they can 'fix' asap and waves, incursion buffs ect we have to wait for days? 🤬

[pastel path]

@limber mesa lol prolly

[burnt river]

<@&509691205798592532> Is there a place I could potentially advertise a Startrek Roleplay SIMM here somewhere?

[marble vigil]

you have a player on server 93 so clearly violating the terms of your tos the rest of the server can only assume he has to be a scopely employ as he has not been removed and yet am unable to contact any of the devs here as they seem to have some kind of customer avoidance thing going on when i send a dm to a dev it says message cannot be delivered because we do not share server yet i am on the same server they are a dev of

[crude sandal]

the messaging thing would be down to them not being in your friends list probably - that's a setting in discord you can toggle on to prevent random DMs as a level above 'only sharing a server'

best (only) option would be to email CS with the evidence of TOS violations

I might regret this, but if you already have a ticket reference, you could send me the docs/screenshots and I'll escalate

but generally the best option is to block 😦

[marble vigil]

he is targeting botting and conveying comments about what he is doing with peoples wives and what he would like to do with their children

[subtle vine]

Not sure what you are talking about just yet, but Bones calls Spock a green blooded hobgoblin in Star Trek Beyond. Pretty sure in one of em he says something about his pointy ears as well.

[marble vigil]

@subtle vine i mean stuff that is far more disturbing than that and explicit in nature and content some of which can not be even typed here and this has been going on for quite some time and with all that have hit report on him over this period of time there has been absolutely no action taken or even any contact made by scopely to those that have reported him as of yet so i can only assume as many others are now that he is a scopely employ trying to cause customers to increase their spending even more a very shabby business practice indeed

[marble vigil]

in any case if something is not done very soon you may lose a large portion of the server and the vast majority looking for refunds

[scenic delta]

For real, the characters in the storylines (the Enterprise missions, for instance) can curse, so why can't us players? We have to deal with bite, ball, and mama being censored (not even kidding about the last one). My suggestion: a profanity filter that can be toggled on and off as needed.

[robust knoll]

Add “Mona” and “pal” to the list. Oh, but also try any curse word you want and just put it in quotes. (You’re welcome)

[prime socket]

Also oddly censored, “3p” and “walter”.

[jaunty fog]

What happened to the "quality over quantity" promise? Haven't seen any proof of that at all as the servers seem to be lagging worse and worse day by day. Just trying to manage my ships in dock and the game lags and takes over a minute for the ship to load. Try claiming daily chests? That will be a 30+ second wait with a spinning wheel. The server side issues you have shoudl happen to a newly launched game, not one as old as this.

[jaunty fog]

Oh wait! I get it! Your announcement was bugged, like everything else you're putting out, you meant quantity over quality, got it!👍

[marble vigil]

@robust knoll try typing wal-ter some time a very very common surname😉

[lyric ibex]

So the newest patch has undone all the bug fixes that improved the game of the last six months. Also now thei is a massive bug with waves

[scarlet dagger]

Proposal to Scopley: if there where new Systems to found, maybe namens them by Players we lost. For example: these days, OL from Server 138 lost their „Cardinal“ cause serios disease.

[broken walrus]

FIX THE 🌊 🌊!!!

[woeful rapids]

@tacit obsidian any plans for a compo chest with s31 tokens? tbh I think you owe us a big compensation chest anyway as this arc has been nothing but a shambles since the start, but the fact we can't do waves because of this error means we're all either running out, or already out of s31 credits and it's a bit ridiculous you've not taken any steps at all to try and make amends for the state of this arc so far

[pale pawn]

You make a new grind that's worse than Xindi, then you set the spawn ratios so that after 20-25 kills this is what I have:

And then I have to do this three times a day for a max pull and you give me one token a day?!

You create another grind this bad and I'll straight up quit....

[midnight timber]

<@&509690795536941056> Please make the silent hostile systems only have the lvl reds of its labeled system! The lvl 55 system is always full of just 57s!

[cerulean snow]

In what world should an ops 55 not be able to finish sms events? Any world where it requires loot from silents

[simple basalt]

@Eco I makes no sense that lvl 40 and 42 Xindi Aquatics in token space no longer drop ANY Xindi Scraps (only drop Tech Modules) while the lower level aquatics (34/35) still have a chance to drop 1 or 2 scraps? You need 750 scraps for the first NX-01 refinery; takes hundreds of level 34/35 kills to acquire 750 scraps (1 or 2 at a time). I have 7/12 NX-01 loot factor boost as well... and level 42 aquatics drop the same number of tech modules as a level 40?

[jaunty fog]

They are unbalancing the game and making it less fun update by update.

[silver plume]

Would love to see some forbidden tech (like ferengi whip) in event store.

[karmic meadow]

Can you overlords please add rogue research credits to the exborg redeem? That would so address the bottleneck for outlaw research. You already have the scrapped stella materials in there why not the research credits too?
