[ripe jetty]

please remove the 'fast collect'-option in the gifts-tab and implement more view-version of collectable stuff, so its more consistant!

[gentle goblet]

'Prime claim in one-click' coming to your nearest store next arc...

[karmic mural]

Ridiculous having to click EVERYTHING to see what costs are and if you can afford an upgrade. Put it back to the way it was

[magic dove]

Scopely loves to incorporate chicanery

[forest zealot]

Prime-Syndicate-Plus: Unlock Collect-All for a set of Faction and Event rewards. (Unlocks after spending 500$ on Syndicate points. Costs 500$ more 🤪)

[magic dove]

I am waiting for Prime Bug reduction

[jolly saddle]

Scopely have the ability to prevent PvP (waves) so obviously they thought through the implications of the new PvP mechanic 🙈

[nova sierra]

Am I really the only one who loves this update

[hushed steeple]

Yes you are

[nova sierra]

My favorite part of the update is the ghost ships of echoing souls following me around after my murder sprees, haunting me

[hushed steeple]

One day, the game will work so well that even without a bug, people will think it's a bug.

[nova sierra]

No bugs, only features

[hushed steeple]

It's so beautiful to dream

[stiff gate]

Forced PvP (or approved bullying by whales) event… worst implementation I have ever seen!

[vocal pollen]

And you are incentivizing alliances to mess up their diplomacy states. How can this event design be a good idea?

[lofty mantle]

I have just sent a refund request for the battle pass the game is unplayable 😦

[fiery meteor]

With this PvP building ist the Game unplayable.

[wise notch]

The big problem there is that you only get minimal points for unallied, single players that are a nuisance.

[stuck inlet]

The PvP thing should be in select systems not everywhere, I cant even do the story missions without being killed

[wheat orbit]

Forced PvP is probably the worst thing $copely have added, and that's saying something. Limit to systems not the entire damn galaxy. Even if you don't want to you're getting shot everywhere.

[golden tendon]

This forced PvP thing is awful! If you’re going to force PvP on us all at least have the decency to fix the Ops PvP brackets! How on earth is an Ops 42 supposed to defend against a 1.7B power Ops 64! I doubt I’d even stand a chance against Ops 46+

[sullen dust]

exactly what we all experience.. how can we retaliate cause clearly these fools spend more on their own ideas then feedback..... why even call it feedbacl

[hollow gazelle]

Put the miners out of the equation ... Put the PVP out ! It s slaughterhouse down there ... You'll lose all the non PVP players like me. There s enough PVP game around. I m level 40 what can I do against the level 50 or 60 ... You re idiotic ... Most people will bubble up for the month ... And you re .bip bip bip paying whales will not have anybody to kill but themselves... What a waste of time and space you are

[shell jungle]

maybe Scopely should listen to regular players and not their council of whales?

[bold marlin]

It’s not. People were suggesting doing the Dailies in mining ships till it was pointed out that changing the diplo status negates the ‘protection’ they had.

Someone with a head injury clearly does $copelys playtesting.

[prime socket]

Galaxy wide pvp events KILL the game. They cause all other activities to grind to a halt.

[terse shell]

Don’t you just love it when you unlock cloaking for a ship for the first time only to find out it costs resources to use. 💀🫠

[wicked osprey]

Don't mess with the basics. This game has differing levels of playability depending on a players time and money invested. There's a wide range between F2P and someone that spends £100s each arc (which is completely fine). The basics involve ALL players at any ops level and these are being able to complete their dailies without interference so they feel they are developing and can do those events happily and enjoy the social and community aspects of the game. Mess with the basics and you're changing the game for your whole player base which is dangerous as we all play the same game but not all in the same way.

[nova sierra]

I'd really like to thank you for putting all the clicks into the Faction stores I really missed not losing the will to live clicking them all the time! Come on seriously what are you actualling doing???

[red cliff]

@tidal notch why are there more UX changes that makes things WORSE? See this? you used to have the EYE button on the corner that allows you to see inside for the contents and also check how many resources you have needed for it. not only did you hide a bunch of single clicks, now you removed this. so now i gotta dig thru this monster of an inventory to find how many xindi scraps i have so i can plan if i need to farm it??? this is just an entire book of BAD UX THINGS YOU SHOULDN'T DO

[wicked osprey]

It was an error. Scopely are reverting (at some point).

[scenic sequoia]

Why isn't the event done together with incursion? Incursion is already a crap, then such a crap fits perfectly.

[wise quest]

Do we know if the war room is a weekly event or one week a month?

[wicked osprey]

Once a month like the treasury I believe

[sand notch]

maybe next years aprils fool?

[hollow wing]

Discord tells me slowmode is enabled. Must have Dopely devs

[shell jungle]

my compliments are to whatever group it is at Scopely that manages to make things worse that nobody is complaining about

[empty jacinth]

WORST UPDATE EVER

[slender monolith]

Oh I don’t know, the one that locked out samsung users was pretty bad for them

[hollow plank]

https://tenor.com/view/itools-worst-event-worst-event-ever-gif-19294852

[mighty oracle]

You give us waves and incursion to work with other Alliances! On a server…. And then make a pvp event for a whole week🤦🏼 whoever is in charge of this Update should be sacked.

[hallow cliff]

Nice whale upgrade. Let the small players quit since they can't do anything but higher levels can attack them easily.
As soon as enough small players quit, whales will also quit since they got no one to destroy anymore

[short owl]

ts not only devs here. Marketing mongrels are leading on quantity, they are clueless about technology, they dream UFOs at night and ask dev to apply. its a classic corporate no quality model. Incompetents are at management and marketing level. And they get huge bonuses because many players swallow the donut and pay.

[pine fiber]

Lots of reds outside the system

[swift steppe]

The new faction store layout is TERRIBLE!!

[hearty zenith]

this is what they consider pvp?

[warm gulch]

how do do servers faster and more worthwhile... solution scoplay: kill all players that dont pay enought monthly with game for whals

[empty jacinth]

I Literally hate this game now. Time to quit.

[warm gulch]

may be bit overshot but i think thats the scoplay plan...

[marsh tide]

I honestly find it funny the lack of focus toward the lower tiers of the game as it would seem that a game always needs new players. Yet I see arc after arc catering to the highest tier players while upsetting the mid level. Let’s be honest last time they done a galaxy wide pvp the backlash was bad enough for them to ( Promise ) they would never do it again. Players ask for QoL improvements, you add more clicks, players ask to rehash old content and focus on quality which continues to get worse, and how is constantly packing new stuff in arc after arc quality over quantity that most have asked for. You promised the player base you would not ever do galaxy wide pvp after the last time. So you pander to your highest tier, Lie to your player base make no attempt to make content to attract new players and continue on the same path ignoring past feedback, so the question I really have is where is the game going cause currently doesn’t seem anywhere good

[full plank]

There's this thing that professional software developers do: it's called regression testing. Scopely should try it. I MIGHT be available to teach software quality to you, but you'd have to pay my asking price and let me work from home.

[lunar rain]

Oh gosh, I don't like the new faction stores where you can't see the costs of things (or even what you can afford, thanks to exclamation marks being unreliable) until you go into them :/

[eager cape]

I’ve asked the same question. I think the answer would be don’t let interns play around with the codes.

[toxic sinew]

This entire event arc is definitely unacceptably anti-player. Incentivizing PVP players hitting PVE players who are just hostile grinding is a good way to lose your PvE playerbase

[runic ridge]

If they want to do something like this, they should go back to lvl capping i.e you can only attack players within 4-5 lvls of yourself, to stop the whales just killing everyone

[worn apex]

This war room is making the game for a lot of players impossible to play as is the general consensus on here. I have a few suggestions about the war room that would make it more player friendly to those who don’t use their wallet to pay for ships and put their bank managers in a spin.
1 — put the event on when there is an incursion both PvP would merge well together
2 — have the event run in named systems only therefore allowing players to go about there dailies unhindered.
Please scopely take all the comments that we are sharing with you and do something constructive with them. Don’t ignore us please coz at the end of the day we contribute towards keeping you guys in a job. LLAP 🖖

[opaque blaze]

if you ever needed proof that some arc runners don't play the game, or at least not on public servers with regular consumer accounts, here it is. 🤣

[dusky charm]

Scheiss PvP. Es gibt auch Leute die PvE Spielen

[midnight timber]

Please, for the love of God, put the faction store back the way it was! We need less clicks, not more clicks! It already takes like 30 min to go through everything daily

[finite mural]

No eta but it will be fixed

[dire rose]

This looked better before where it showed what we required, instead of yet another click!!

[rough linden]

well thanks Scopely for ruining game.

[tame sphinx]

In a stunning and totally unexpected new development MY SERVER IS A GHOST TOWN.
Scopely, WTH were you thinking with a server-wide PVP event? This is abysmal. Even the chats are all but abandoned except for complaints about how empty things are.
Mining is easy now, I suppose... Because, yeah, when we think of Star Trek mining is what immediately leaps to mind.
There isn't enough sarcasm and contempt in the world for what you have done.

[cedar axle]

nice to see everyone is enjoying the event, someone called me a ****** 😄

[wary tendon]

How silly is that again? Presenting galaxy-wide PvP as a major achievement is really tough. You'll only drive more players to the point of quitting. Some may have fun with this crap, but the majority certainly won't. It would have been better to orientate it more towards wave defences. A fixed number of players in a fixed system without affecting the normal server area too much. Then there would be less lag in the game than there is now.

[west thunder]

Yep - the goal was to kill the game, and the complete incompetence of whoever designed this arc, has finally done it. We had people quitting all night and saying "here's my base guys, have at it" left and right. We've all seen some "bad arcs" and some "poorly executed arcs" but now we've hit the pinnacle. EXTREMELY poor design, AND a ton of bugs. GOOD JOB, SCOPELY!

[merry tiger]

🤣🤣

[woven aurora]

Sadly this game has made a turn for the worse. Seen this before in other p2w games. The small players will all leave, within a year the servers will be empty, only whales gathered in a few factions, looking tough at each other. Server merge after server merge..... How to ruin a great game...... Great job Scopely....

[heady knoll]

every war chest should come with a bug fix

[undone igloo]

Yes this change really sucks @royal solar

[twilit cape]

absolutely detest this pvp event! so damn tired of having pvp rammed down my throat! one thing i know for sure i am NOT spending another penny on this game!

[dire rose]

The PVP event if your organised is a nice change from Farmville, I guess your teams are not working well together

[spark cape]

I'm afraid if this carries on as it is the game is finished for lower lvl's

[twilit cape]

can't even get my dalies done because of this garbage!

[marsh tide]

They keep the top tiers happy ignoring the lower spectrum and forget new players have to play at low and mid levels with no real incentives

[lone breach]

About that error... I have worked in game development for over a decade at this point.... That UI change is not just a tab you can accidentally toggle on and off. It may have accidentialy gone live early but they made that choice to add those extra steps and change the icons

[limpid cipher]

It now takes sooooo many MORE clicks to collect everything every day. “View” has added an extra click to most things. How did this happen? Was the release not tested by actual players before it went live? No player doing the day-to-day in the game would have let that get through. We want fewer clicks to collect everything. Not more.

[woeful pine]

Hey Scopley, all this PvP event crap is costing me more and more nerves and, above all, more and more players. Why introduce an event that more than 80 percent of players don't want? Or do you want fewer and fewer players to stop playing this still very nice game? Maybe I'll get an answer to my question this time, the last few times my questions were simply ignored! Thank you very much, a worried admiral and player.😔

[lone breach]

Because they only pay attention to paying players.

I pay, quite a bit, but I'm still sub 40 so my oppinion doesn't count for themyet

[scenic sequoia]

Scopely is not interested in our feedback at all. It's all about money. Even if some players stop. We don't get a response from Scopely so quickly.

[woeful pine]

Fewer players also means less money at the end of the day. We have 71 players in our alliance and at least half of them will leave and give up the game. That was one of Scopeley's best ideas. 🙄

[covert mist]

Same feedback from me….our servers are ghost town, except for the lvl 60+ people rushing around to kill anyone that dares venture out of their station. It’s so horrible

[lone breach]

1/3 of my alliance have thrown up 30day shields and AFKing the first ark. I know for a fact that's a few grand in packs that won't now be purchased between those guys

[pure shore]

yeah not a fan of the griefing this event has caused, i know some say dont participate but not being able to do dailies because whales are camping to kill anyone entering where we need to go, looking at cutting my losses and quiting

[half saddle]

If players spent more time sending out baby ships than complaining about the pvp events, everyone would already be done & there'd be nothing to complain about. You can literally send out a fleet of 1* ships to common systems & be done with everything but the SLB rankings. Plus, it takes almost no time or cost to repair them.

[gusty fractal]

If I get 1 credit to unlock the research related to war room event then I need 100 events that is 100 weeks that is 2 years of war room event...2 years are enought to learn how to play in this new era.

[civic haven]

I’m*

[covert mist]

😂

[lone breach]

Ahh, so all I need to do to play the game is to completely change how I play the game.

Good sir... perhaps you can tell me which cheap ships I can use for my Freebooters, Probe, high level swarm, normal non arc missions.... and Q trials.

Perhaps you know a crew that will allow my Realta to take out 41 Freebooters.

[gritty magnet]

Haha Perfect 😂

[half saddle]

Most will adopt the strategy instead of using events as excuses to camp mission & event spawn points. There will always be the select few Richards who will take any excuse to pick on lower lvl players. Give your server time to adapt, just as we've done with every attempt to sabotage ROE thrown at us so far.
The strategy isn't for F2P to continue playing, and as long as we fall for silly contests with terrible rewards, we'll fall right into what they want. Less F2P means less server & support costs.
Who does Swarm dailies anymore? 🤣

[uncut shore]

Aha yes that helps to kill swarms for my dailys. Thank you for that advice, really helps a lot.

[opal rose]

exactly what happened on our server. Scopely should provide protection in the system until you complete arc missions.

[lone breach]

I'm not F2P, I have several grand in this. I also love PVP. The HUGE issue that is enabling the grief and trolling is the PVP bands are spread wider than Bobert's legs.

PVP mechanics are joke, there is no viable punch up, it is all punch down.

They could stop this easily and even make PVP and incursions more fun with a few simple addition.

Garrisoning.

Change PVP bands to be able to hit 20 above but only 2 below your ops.

Armardas against bases (to give people a fighting chance to crack a big boy)

Disable PVP in most token systems (add a max stay to prevent griefing on nodes)

It's really east to address.

[oak hawk]

well, the whole game is designed as a Ponzi Scheme ... and this is the game that the Dev's wanted to build.

[heavy bridge]

Cloak your ships, send a escort, speed crews, hit hostiles in a different system than the mission system 🤷‍♂️

The biggest problem is that I have to click twice now to collect a chest in the faction store

[wild fossil]

Aye yes armada against station, you wait 15 mins whilst we attack your station and hope no one notices the armada 🤣 or hit them surprisingly and KO and scoop instantly. Edit: (you ever hit an Alliance starbase? Immediately it gets swarmed by defenders)

Stop PvP in mantis, Borg, silent space would be perfect.

[brazen patrol]

Fix the silent hostile spawns, we’re 4 players waiting for the 46s to respawn, the 49s wreck shop
We also can’t go lower level because it doesn’t give the correct loot for the refinery
What a waste of time

[half saddle]

Let's face it - the game has outlasted its life span. The goal is no longer consumer loyalty, but now to find a way to make next quarter's goals. And time & time again, they've done it successfully with rage spending only achieved through pvp. We didn't accept the Territory Season Pass or the changes they've made to encourage more pvp. They don't care about the community or the trolling, just the bottom line.

[lone breach]

No, I woudl do it like Army Men Strike used to. You gather at the initiator's base (which can be shielded until the armada leaves for target) And the timer to gather is 2mins.

Target player receives the attack incoming notification only when the Armada has departed for target NOT while gathering. And yes this would require knock knock shields to not be a thing.

And to allow some heads up time you can not initiate if you are on the same planet as the target. There must be limited travel time.

[winter sigil]

Who's idea was it to add another button for refinery options? We need LESS clicking, not MORE. Please revert this change and also add a way to speed up the daily process of claiming gifts and things from refineries and faction stores.

[covert mist]

i HATE this so much. Makes everythign take so much longer now, adding an extra click for everything

[signal bison]

But the players that want to win those SLBs won't be done....

[scenic sequoia]

@tacit obsidian Why don't you listen to the players? The little players no longer have a chance to make their dailys at the event. Nobody needs such a crap event. In our alliance, even the big players want to stop because they reject the event. Incursion is already the last crap and this event is just like that. Why don't you make a big pile of crap out of 2 events?

[half saddle]

They will once they figure out there's a better way. I fed points to the lvl 47 solo alliance player in 1st place using the method I described above. This proves not only that you don't have to go around killing innocent ships, but you don't have to have a territory to win.
P.S. Vemet was VERY useful!

[steep solar]

@scenic sequoia because it's no longer is job to deal with customers that's hamster now.

[white coral]

Gotta agree with DV. The new changes are adding a significant amount of time and frustration to the game. You have no idea what where you are at until you click on things. And if you don't have enough credits you won't know until you click on that item. With all the new items being continually added you could spend significant time in this area and not in game.
Not a PVP style player either. Don't force me into that box because you think you need to.
You're steadily working on increasing time required on a limited time schedule for most players.

[tiny fiber]

Had half a dozen lower level players in the alliance quit because its impossible to do anything at the moment. Players stalking mission points and systems used for dailies. How wasn't this predicted? or was it?

[tame sphinx]

Scopely, I am one of those players who is NOT FTP, but I need an excuse to reward you for doing something good before I spend any money.
Lately, you have completely denied me the excuse I need to spend anything.
While my wallet appreciates this, yours might not.

[normal ravine]

Dude stop whining and just set your favorite ally to enemy and have a realta war in territory and go about your week. We maxed our war room in about 40 minutes. This isn't a big deal.

[thorn fossil]

dear scopely - this new building was the worst idea ever - due to the fact that you throw "do pvp" in the area the entire server becomes crazy - no rules, no respect, no support - just shooting everywhere without thinking - my favorite: these guys who camp on mission points and shoot lower player who want to do the missions again and again --- so was it so hard to think on developer side a bit more before release such a mass? maybe definded pvp areas as simplest solution? i see more and more good players quit (also these who paid battlepasses and primes) - why - cause of this chaos - so please think about more about consequensces , also in your interest

[stuck burrow]

OK, Scopely. This farce can't be labled Star Trek anymore. This is far from Star Trek's ideals as you can get. I'm saddened it has gone so sideways and good luck retaining anyone that wanted to play a Star Trek game and discovered whatever this is.

[trim flower]

They rely too heavily on the ip. Ive been a spender here but not for the last few months.

[normal ravine]

No. That's trash. PvP already exists everywhere. I want to and should be able to kill players any and everywhere. Some servers are quite decidedly anti-PvP and would never participate.

Keep it like it is. PvP everywhere, anywhere, all at once. Even keep the brackets the way they are. I like scooping whales 20ops+ during incursions, even if I can't kill their ships.

Bugs aside this arc has been the best thing to happen to this game.

[upper burrow]

this has to be the dumbest arc ive ever seen

[lone breach]

You don't scoop 20plus ops.. you beg for table scraps while some giga whale cracks them. You are a vulture at best.

[rich elm]

We can promise that a change WON'T come at all, this has been ongoing for years and it only went for the worst.

[fossil magnet]

The button change in the factions tab is horrific. Having to click each option individually is a painful process, why add such a click heavy layer? PLEASE revert this.

[normal ravine]

😂 begging for table scraps?

During incursions no one is begging for a bite at the apple, whales are begging you to take a bite bc more bites = more wins

And at that Ops disparity table scraps of a multi Trillion RSS base are all you need when your Amalgam is taking home billions at a time.

Your criticism isn't valid. Get good.

[white glacier]

Great, Brexit is going to screw me yet again 😆

[wide stirrup]

i will never activly take pard in a feature i dont agree with and incursions is a grabage feature

[upper burrow]

i agree

[undone onyx]

If you have the biggest gun, you will always win in PVP

[bold marlin]

Well the server lag in 168 is fixed at least. Might be due to the fact that Yarda now has a player population in single digits during the mid-afternoon.

It’s an innovative solution I grant you, annoy all players under level 45 and stop them logging on.

The genius of it. Like a diamond bullet to my mind.

[wide stirrup]

and credit/debit card players wit always have the biggest ships and guns

[cyan arch]

100% agreed, I hope they solve all the bugs and we can enjoy a bit.

[autumn holly]

not happy about how all the prices are hidden now on chests and stuff

[barren hazel]

🤣 never happen

[normal ravine]

Apparently that was unintentional and a fix is coming.

[cyan arch]

you know that broken clock thing at least twice in a day.... anything could happen. After this new war building and pvp stuff things could change in a good way.

[zenith bridge]

Two tap rep claim items are the most un good feature added.

[wooden spire]

Silly silly silly silly silly silly scrotely. Made the game even more unplayable. Everyone getting destroyed by the cocktail sausage peepee brigade and their credit card ships.

[tame sphinx]

That isn't the problem. The problem is the SLB.
That incentivizes the whales to be jerks to everyone which, in turn, makes people stop playing.
If it was merely the SMS and AMS it would be fine, but a SLB wrecks the game.

[forest zealot]

I can agree with theClown on ONE point: with how horrible the low-lvl-experience was made with this patch, it can't really get much worse.

[molten wyvern]

Scopely : hold my beer.

[civic haven]

For the record, I was just offering a grammatical correction. The irony was completely accidental and I didn’t even catch it until I saw the reaction to my post.

[barren hazel]

5+ years.. fix a bug, create 3 more. and original bug returns.

[icy patio]

willing to bet with all the new buttons in front of claim/buy there will be a claim/buy all button soon, no one can be this stupid without malice -and like the previous claim all, it will cost

[cyan arch]

There's one point I really can't understand: the rules of the game are known—it's a PvP always-on game. When you set sail with your miner for the very first time, a warning pops up saying, "Mining is a dangerous business; your ship can be destroyed." That's why there is UPC protection for miners. Now, everyone is saying not to do what the game intended. It doesn't matter what ship is killing us; killing is killing, score is a score. Ships are not our pride or our firstborn. If you die, repair and send. I can't see any problem here.

[normal ravine]

Servers that place restrictions on OPC hunting most affected 😂😂

[vital sequoia]

That's fun FOR YOU. It's not fun for everyone else. There needs to be a balance and the new stuff is so unbalanced it needs to be committed to Arkham Asylum. I see NOTHING fun about getting hit by someone 10+ OPS levels above me when trying to do anything. Plus, my time isn't unlimited. I don't have 3 hours to attempt 14 times to complete dailies or grinds/solomadas/resource gathering. Scopely, fix this. NOW.

[barren hazel]

Which one of these needs a slider?

[forest zealot]

The problem is, having to wait 2+ hours per ship for repairs because repair boosters come in limited quantities, only to get instantly destroyed right after entering a system to grind my daily hostiles without making any progress to said daylies.

[cyan arch]

RoE is a made up thing by the users, not set by the creator of the game therefore OPC protection, token space protection, armada protection and this and that protections are not valid points for discussion. Because they are not the facts just made up things.

[jovial patrol]

Very true

[cosmic zodiac]

Could they please not obscure the help button with things like the video feature.

[kind minnow]

well w ekinda figured this would happen.

[normal ravine]

That's the game, Jack. Don't like it go play something else. There's plenty of idle miner games out there if that's all you're into. More incentive to PvP is a good thing that should have always been in the game.

Your options:
A. Get gud
B. Go play Minecraft.

[brazen patrol]

stop feeding the troll guys, it's pretty obvious

[marsh tide]

Always fun to fight a tank with a rubber knife and loincloth that’s great pvp fun

[molten wyvern]

The whales are gonna sit here and cry when they're all alone in the game, then perhaps they will take their life up to revision when their accounts are truly worthless pixels.

[rugged scaffold]

whales don't care. I only hear complains about the game in our alliance chat, and still 10 minutes later, I can claim dozens of gifts in the alliance area, due to all the bought stuff from the store 😄

[tame sphinx]

Scopely... you should know that people don't play this game for the game itself anymore. We stay because we have friends here.
Events like this drive away friends we have known for years. Keep doing that and you will be left with nothing.

[woven plover]

But an ops 64 with a 1 billion ship hitting an ops 49 with a 40 million ship as soon as they enter a blind system is not pvp. Fix the PVP bands then, +- 3 ops levels from your own.

[quartz basin]

Sending great appreciations for the latest update! It brought back the diplomacy and helped to rethink an approach to one. a lot of fun action and the ability to talk was surfaced again. The game became much more different from resetting mining nodes on Cooldown and that is much appreciated. Territories started to work again. 🫶

[cosmic knoll]

ez pvp fix is a hit down tax, -1% dmg and -1% crit chance per level difference, its not much but it will take some of the sting out of the stupidity that is current pvp

[cyan arch]

no objection to that point.

[torpid cargo]

C......L.....O.......A......K.

[slate orbit]

Right now a 70 can hit a 43. How is that pvp. That's encouraged griefing by the game designer. In designated systems like TC, or DMZs between faction zones sure to maybe. But it is no where near player versus player, it's sanctus versus realta And no matter what crew the realta has or what stratagy it looses every time. And the sanctus looses maybe .005 shield health due to research the realta player can't even see, more or less compete with.

[real shale]

got an idea for some fixes:

• Pick specific systems to be "war" systems. Similarly to how "Yoruba" is for specific events.
• The system picked is for certain level ranges. 38-42, 43-45, 46-49, etc.
• Kills IN the specific systems award the current "max" kill point value. Any kills outside of those systems awards 1% of the max. (e.g. 1,000 pts in the system, 10 points outside of it) AND death/losses get the current max. So if you kill an enemy outside those "war" systems, you help THEM more than you help yourself.
• This discourages killing outside those systems as it makes the time/effort not worth it.

OR

• Adjust PvP ranges. My 16M K'Tinga doesn't need to get smacked by a 600M Sanctus. What is the point? I'd never win, I wont even take off 2% of his shield health. But I get a repair bill and a trip home.

OR

• Make the points given to the warchest reflect the lvl of player hit. Fine, a person 20+ my lvl can hit me, but they get 1-5% of the points they should had they hit someone in their power range.
• You already do this for hostiles, level ranges worth certain points. Do the same. If you punch UP, you get a bonus. hit around your lvl, get a "standard" amount. Punch down, get less points. This would encourage actual PvP as it should be, not 50s and 60s punching down on 40s, camping event locations, dailies systems, etc.

This event needs some serious redesigning to make it effective. You are just alienating anyone sub OPs 50. I'm more likely to put up some shields and walk away for a week than I am to buy a pack, and I assume most others would do the same.

[cyan arch]

If you are asking to me, I have no answer for you also if you read a line above that I agreed with how badly they balanced things.
There is one thing we should really understand and accept it. They have all the numbers, all user habits and everything. That thing called big data.
They are not gonna make changes because I don't like it or you if it matters. Is it something I like no but a fact.

[cosmic knoll]

the only thing scopely understand is money, stop spending on stuff until they finally man up or close the game, them spam monopolygo with bad reviews

[timber root]

@tidal notch Didn't have time to read any of the mission's text, was too busy trying to escape from the 500M+ ships with my lousy 45M Pilum.

[slate orbit]

Fair, and keep in mind it's not a end to pvp most players want. It's a fair chance, which does not exist right now. Lot of this is solved with proper pvp target bands. Or pvp systems. And people ask for those cause the game for some is 1 to 2 hours a day and if I spend 45 minutes of the game repairing, it has become untenable for those players and they will leave. So you end up with smaller and smaller player population and deader and deader events.

[dusty crescent]

Why my war room not showing up after being built? Am I the only one? Restarted game and support is useless. I notice Scopely doesn’t have any issues taking my money though…

[kind minnow]

they dont balance anything. they throw the lower end of the playersbase before the whales for their enjoyment.

[cyan arch]

While I hear what you're saying, everything we are experiencing in this game or at the airport, or whatever else you can think of, is just a section of the thing called life.
Recently, I was traveling to the US from the UK. The check-in line took 2 hours, and at US borders, it took 2.5 hours. I lost almost half a day, yet people with first-class tickets spent only 30 minutes for check-in and border checks.
I haven't seen anyone banging on the airline's counters and demanding better balance. This is pretty much it: if you pay the most bucks, you get better thing/service; if not, you have to go through the long way. Nothing is fair unless you're suggesting a revolution 😈

[slate orbit]

Service for convenience is understandable, but if you alienate your customer base you kill you product, scopley has to find the happy medium as is failing miserably right now. Or people refuse to pay and go find a better service. Maybe I use British airways Over American based on customer service and customer experience.. in you example to some extent.

[cyan arch]

Yes! I didn't want to throw a name but it was Delta and that was the last time I bought a ticket from Delta.
That being said we have options, if we are not happy we can switch to another game 🙂

[cosmic knoll]

the difference you point out is only valid for time sink issues, pvp isnt timesink

[nova sierra]

you're analogy is flawed in that despite the amount of monies paid you're all using the same plane and those paying more arrive at their destination at the same time as those paying less... also, for the duration of the flight the high payers don't get to kick the 💩 out of the economy flyers!

[peak meteor]

If this unspeakable PVP event with this completely unnecessary war room stops immediately, the game will no longer be playable.

[dire warren]

Could the people in first class come and punch you in the face at will with no consequence? Could they get free drink vouchers from Delta if they punched a certain number of people in the face? I don't mind pay to win/pay to advance. I do mind incentives to push everyone actively downward.

[cyan arch]

@nova sierra @dire warren of course there is/are flaw/s, it's analogy not a 1:1 sample

[civic haven]

“I put my hand upon my hip. When I get, you get, you’ll get we get”

[flint saffron]

what idiot decided to add an extra time wasted step in stores.. Some days for people that are not disabled or retired or a bum that cant spend 20 hours on the game already dont have enough time to do everything needed. now I got to go to faction claims or others then click on boxes to see what I can claim? Tempted to dispute CC charges and delete. You guys are just doing dumb stuff for no reason. Put the idiot that spent the time to add this in to the bug fix team.. fix all the crap before adding new crap.

[lone breach]

I kinda love how you say you don't need scraps, then brag about how much scraps you get. It's not often my opponents defeat themselves... saved me some time.

[slate orbit]

Yesterday the mentioned in statements that that was a unintended result of the patch, and they were working on a fix.

[queen badge]

i can rember playing a game on a pvp server where high level stayed by a stater zone and just spammed high level spells as level 1 to 10 came in and killed them in 1 hit WHAT FUN. it now seems many years later they are now playing this game when level 50 - 60 can go around killing level 42 as soon as they go into any system or try to mine. looks like i will not be playing much till this sillyness is over

[spiral tartan]

Nothing a 7-day shield and a week of DRG can't fix.

[jade patio]

Well, no…. the war room is a permanent addition. Once this one finishes, it starts all over again.

[coarse dome]

im not spending more money on this game if i cant do my daillis . its like 40 a month. im saving plus all the other 99.99

[lone breach]

And I'm reducing from 600 to just a single normal season pass

[pale socket]

And, as usual, there is no feedback from Scopely about this debacle of an arc

[past turret]

THE WORST IDEA EVER😡🤬
Forcing alliances to set all the others to enemy and attack everything that moves is ridiculous!!!
This has got nothing to do with a fair and REAL Star Trek universe.
YOU failed completely, scopely!!!
I can only recommend all the players to not invest any money in battlepass and stuff to not support the worst idea ever!

[spare lodge]

Why they don't have a pvp arena area system is beyond me. For arcs like this should be set to a specific few systems that immediatly marks everyone an enemy and once you leave those systems your marked back to how you were prior to entering. Many other games do this. just my penny worth.

[hollow socket]

Please change the Faction Store buttons back. This extra step is very tedious. I like to know what is available without having to enter a new screen. Also why cant we see into ones on cooldown anymore?

[vapid bough]

The thing is people are seeing the pvp as a every day issue, there is a 2-3 day pvp event going on right as the new content lands so yea its crazy right off the bat but once alliances have done there war room points and the pvp even is over, all the pvp should return to normal until war room resets

[cyan arch]

what about SLB/ALB? 4 days events

[high marsh]

Today is a good day to … Uninstall

[spare yacht]

PVP is an everyday thing, nothing different going on for this event. All the same ships and people are gettting pixelated

[willow patrol]

I don't know what's happening on your server if you feel that nothing different is going on for this event. Ours is chaos.

[grizzled dagger]

Time to delete the game

[vapid bough]

Lmao i remember people kicking off this much when the cube was introduced

[hollow socket]

This issue is the different scoring values for diplomacy setting. We are forced to enemy status people and that turns into miscommunications between alliances.

[willow patrol]

It's also making some grinds impossible

[eager mantle]

This is not real PVP. All you are doing is clicking a button that says attack. Real PVP involves engagement from both sides

[nova sierra]

Wow…. People are still complaining

[willow patrol]

Gorn, Xindi, Monaveen, Faction rep, all those grinds are now impossible on our server due to being picked off as soon as you get into a system. Possibly others I'm not thinking of yet.

[elfin meteor]

I love the new PVP element! It's super fun!

[hollow socket]

This is the feedback channel. 🤷‍♂️

[nova sierra]

Scrap this Pvp event b4 the game collapses due to players leaving

[eager mantle]

issue is more about the fairness of current PVP not PVP itself

[weary tapir]

more and more leaving ... if Scopely want to destroy the Game ... they did it good ...

[sonic grail]

Nobody wants galaxy wide pvp so STOP trying to make it happen

[white oyster]

Thanks Scopely for saving me money this month. I won't be buying the BP as I won't be able to complete it.

[past turret]

They may not read this. But for sure will check their bank account. Just STOP spending money💪 guys

[rocky cloak]

99% of pvp in this game is just finding and punishing helpless victims. Not toxic one bit...
So yeah, server wide unlimited 'pvp' event, nothing can go wrong there, can it? 🤣

[elfin meteor]

I like it! 😄

[round shard]

Congratulations on finding a perfect way to encourage and reward the most troll-like gameplay rather than any kind of mutually fun PvP.

[elfin meteor]

Just talk to your server and set some base rules or limits! That's what we did. And it's fun!

[past turret]

This game is not about endless talks on discord, I wann have fun in game instead of cleaning the mess scopely created by taking OUR money

[fresh current]

Faction store update sucks. Extra click to just see if you can get a favor. Annoying.

[coarse dome]

the war room needs repair shards

[forest zealot]

they already said that one was by mistake and they try to solve what went wrong

[runic sorrel]

This game is going to the crematorium. Google Play rating is falling, player interaction falling. Scopely has really messed up this time. Time to make redundancies Scopely...

[elfin meteor]

i havnt paid anything towards this event - so im just a little confused about what needs to be paid for?

[knotty lark]

Nothing ever needs to be paid for, but doesn't stop 'em from paying it 🤣

[past turret]

Scopely bot, I'm sure🤣

[scenic sequoia]

@tacit obsidian Actually sad that there is still no feedback from the DEV team.

[elfin meteor]

got it got it

[jolly arrow]

I’d like to thank Scopely personally and taking what little enjoyment I had left with this game and eliminating it from my life. I played this game for a bit of stress relief, but with all the bullcrap “improvements” you’ve made, this game is now not even fun anymore. Congrats for finally breaking my spirit @scopley

[crystal breach]

This has to be the worst arc\update since the beginning of the game. I have heard from at least half of my alliance that they are thinking of quitting. When a lvl 67 can just camp on mission spots and event locations taking out ships more than 20 below them there isnt any point trying to continue.

[jolly arrow]

I am a 57 who is majority f2p. I do(did) purchase the battle passes on every arc until now. I can’t even compete with 52’s because of all the bullcrap primes that others can buy. It’s completely frustrating and I’m done with this game.

[tacit knot]

Scopely was sold to an investor some time ago, anyone can find that on Google. It would be naive to believe that these people don't want to squeeze even more money out of the game. As long as people keep shopping, nothing will change. I'm on your side, but complaining won't get you anywhere.

[dire warren]

Something something golden goose something someting bad ideas regarding them....

[jolly arrow]

I completely understand monetizing this game. Not upset with that. But the complete disparity between p2p and f2p makes most want to quit, including me. So congrats to eventual killing their product. You upset enough of the base and it will not be a viable company for too long

[shut fern]

Can you please fix the DST issue? Events starting and ending at two (and in the case of incursions three) different times is annoying and in the minor case difficult to manage.

[opal crane]

Be careful, last time I spoke about this, they muted me on here for a week

[olive oar]

well, it's obvious that scopely has decided who they want their customers to be with this update. way to go 🍻

[astral ledge]

Absolutely, the same thing for me.

[zealous trellis]

The new UI with factions and claiming things is terrible. Revert it or change it again so we can see what exactly we can and cannot claim and what resource we need to get it.

[glacial spruce]

@tidal notch There was a silly little video game years ago where the players were supposed to build stuff to protect themselves from zombies. It ended up that the players discovered the game was so open that building things became the bigger draw rather than the survival aspect. Do you know what the gwme maker did? They saw what their customers wanted and made the building aspect the main part of the game rather than force people to deal with more zombie attacks. You know, they actually enhanced what the customer base wanted. The game was Mine Craft, if you hadn't figured that out. I hear it enjoyed a little success. 😋

No one wants pvp to be eliminated from stfc, but I'm pretty sure the majority don't want more of it forced on the community,. Nor did anyone ask for more grinds, specially ships, more bugs, Etc. Instead of fighting RoE, work with your customers.

We were told the focus this year would be "Quality over Quantity". Here we are in April and we're wondering when that's going to happen. FYI, Being lied to also doesn't make for a happy customer base.

At this point we seem to be getting short term profit arcs that will kill the game long term.

Just throwing out some observations. Hopefully they don't fall on deaf ears.

[cyan arch]

game vs slot-machine.

[last nest]

they dont want success they wanted this to be a quick cash grab if it dies they have elderly people to milk in their monopoly game

[normal ravine]

For those who actually embrace this thing, can we discuss just how underwhelming these warchest rewards are?

[humble furnace]

🤦‍♀️ wait till it reaches your ops lvl

[normal ravine]

Wait how? Other than BP and event rewards how else do I source the materials to build it?

[proven crown]

Franchement c’est du grand n’importe quoi, ce jeu, les quelques gros vaisseaux se gave et les petits peuvent même pas jouer ni même riposter. Ça donne juste envie d’arrêter.

[humble furnace]

Opening the war room chest gives the building materials for upgrading it. If we can only open twice a week it might be a slow upgrade like the other speciality buildings

[robust knoll]

It’s still trash when it catches up. (EDIT: At least at Ops 57)

[humble furnace]

How do you no? What lvl is your war room

[dire wigeon]

dont worry they will be selling lots of packs. its like 50 weeks to get the first tier of th enew research. You can bet your ass they are gonna sell the marks so whales can get their 3000% damage buff against players immediately

[robust knoll]

I can do math. 🤷‍♂️ Lvl 57 War Room is 739% boost. I multiplied chest at lvl 1 by 7.39 and got… wait for it… trash. WR currently at 17 w/ 71% boost. It’s extremely trash right now. In however many months it takes to get to 57, it will just be trash if they don’t boost the values.

[humble furnace]

That depends on the building lvl theirs no info graphs 📈 to see what other #lvls give. Higher building lvls might get more then 1 medal per chest

@robust knoll considering before war room PvP only gave stuff like Kehra BPs, trash is still pretty good

[robust knoll]

Well, you’re not wrong about the Kehra, lol. As for Kotal, lvl 21 is a 145% boost. Here’s how many Kotal shards that chest will have for me. Looks like they stay at 1. At lvl 57, I’ll still get 1, about 25 rare 5* ship parts, 20M trit, etc. Just really bad. But I do agree about “ Better than nothing” if doing this doesn’t require much effort. If we kind of passively get this from a week of usual activity, it’ll just be a chuckle as I pull it each week. If it takes work, it’s gonna be irritating

[humble furnace]

Well guess warmonger research is intended for P2P with a very slow drip for F2P

[robust knoll]

That’s what it looks like, and I guess I’m OK with that. My complaint is more the other stuff. This was presented as the Klingon version of the Treasury. Looks like the Klingons don’t reward glory in battle as much as we thought 😆

[clear sinew]

garbage update

[wanton sparrow]

Der Kriegsraum ist wieder mal nur um die Kassen mehr klingeln zu lassen und um Unruhe zu stiften der Spielspaß geht wieder mal mehr den Bach runter

So überlegen es sich noch mehr Spieler das Game endgültig abzuschalten

[normal ravine]

What materials and RSS are you getting?

[wanton sparrow]

Ist die Frage ob sich dieses grundsätzliche Vorgehen um den Profit zu steigern für Scopley auf Dauer auszahlt

[robust knoll]

Here's a screen grab of what I would get w/ lvl 21 WR @ Ops 57. If the building was lvl 57, I'd get about 5x those numbers

[hollow tide]

It's like the goose that laid golden eggs. Scopely had that goose with STFC, logically one would give such a goose nothing but the best food and much love and care. But not scopely, oh no they chase it and throw sticks and stones at it and when they catch it they try to squeeze out more and more eggs. We all now what that will do to the goose

[cloud kiln]

so now we need to view each item in order to see what it will cost? what an awesome improvement.
does anyone even think before making changes?

[nocturne jasper]

i wish scoply would drop the amount for enterprise, auger d4, blueprints to 100, so i can get the ship and the get the ascend key, so i can upgrade my ops, or get the ascend key another way other than paying for it

[robust knoll]

This is supposedly an error and they're working on fixing it

[foggy hemlock]

Good point
Except now YOU CAN SEE THE CLOAKED PLAYERS.

[nocturne jasper]

i can't lvl up my ops, unless [ can get it with another ship that i allready have

[torpid cargo]

True...but its just a small green circle....they cant see who you are. But i really hope that gets fixed fast. Only whale avoidance we have except to turttle up.

[cedar axle]

if you're struggling to get a g3 ship I think I can say pretty confidently you aren't ready for ops 40

[cyan forum]

worst arc ever in the histiry of the game such a crappy upgrade btween crashes freezing and a pointless waroom jeez im done

[smoky shard]

I preferred the previous format in the faction stores; I liked seeing the amount of currency needed to purchase the item.

[hollow tide]

They should have given every item the "little eye" view button and leave the green button as it was. That way you can look everywhere inside the options without purchasing the item

[teal harness]

<@&509691205798592532> I’m about to give scopley what it wants. It wants trek to be a pew pew game. I’m about to go ham and kill everything in sight and make the game as miserable of experience for all playing even if it forces them to quilt rather than buy power. Do whatever I can to make the game absolutely unplayable except for pew pew as scopley wants it.

[teal harness]

Yes you can see who it is. You just can’t target them

[south rampart]

Good luck. Most servers don't take well to rogues.

[teal harness]

Yea. So. You all know how irritating a single person can be. And there is really little you can do about it. I can kill systems before you catch me and really what are you gonna do about it. You will all have to mine activity. No more mining and going back to work

[south rampart]

You do you. Unless the rogue is the biggest fish on the server, alliances work together to track and hunt down the rogue at every possible moment. It's typically the rogue that is forced off the server.

[teal harness]

But that is what scopley wants. Chaos. And im low enough the whales can’t touch me. But I can kill off the krill they depend on.

[safe hinge]

Congratulations Scopely you just lost another paying customer with you poor choices to focus the game onto pvp and your refusal to fix pvp level ranges to stop the ganking by people 12+ levels above.

[lilac hollow]

I'm all for PVP, but not necessarily an ongoing deathmatch across the galaxy. It might be going just a little too far.

[livid pasture]

For goodness’s sake… it doesn’t need delayed again! Even if only a day, just get it over with!! We’ve needed a merge for such a long time.

[scenic pivot]

Just wanting to point out something with the merge being delayed by one day
A) It messes up a lot of plans since Wednesday is a 1* takeover day. Not a huge loss for some but frustrating for many.
B) two potential territory resets in succession is kind of a drag unless you're also doing the reset for the territory pass then.

[quaint haven]

Good thing ghost ships are fixed and I’m totally not seeing them anymore…oh wait

[vital tapir]

All your pvp push has done is turn the game into Farmville for me. All I do now is mine, since that's the only safe activity. I have 1 ship that I can play with actively so I can avoid the pvp hunters who are crewed for pvp while I am crewed for hostiles trying to complete actual game events. And since I can't ever have any floating ships without getting pixeled, so much for trying to grind the already ridiculous amount of grinding required in the game. Can't do them in tandem bc while toggling between them, you are likely to get blown up. Particularly by players who are so much more powerful than you, that it's ridiculous that they are allowed to hit you

[heavy bridge]

Galaxy wide is the only way to implement it, half the server hides or avoids pvp systems otherwise. I would recommend that pvp slb events to have a one day duration.

[languid shard]

Can we just get rid of the war room and everything associated with it?

[quaint haven]

That should tell them that it’s not a good idea, there’s a reason good mmos always had pvp and non-pvp servers.

[winged storm]

they should fix the loot boxes they give out for pvp if they really want pvp to be more active

[slate orbit]

No it's not the only way, it's the only way you see it, there are several ways they could do it. Just in the Last 48 hrs there have been plenty of ideas in several of these feedback channels. They need to find that happy middle ground. Which just takes some discussion and thought.

[pale socket]

It's not "the game" that needs to be changed and fixed, it's the dev team

[twilit slate]

Please stop "hunt the Cardassians" as a BP event until you add more level 50 systems, they get too crowded, and the aggression and frustration gets too high when most of the server turns up to compete for the drip fed hostiles.

[heavy bridge]

Explain one that has or will work that the farmers haven't complained about.

We have 10 ships currently, 6 separate alliances doing the the BP event in cardassian space, seems to me that people are able to complete events on our server with minor headaches.

[slate orbit]

DMZ zones, neutral zones between faction space where pvp bands could be left as are or slightly expanded. Improved pvp bands. The largest problem with this entire thing is not pvp, it's 60s nuking 40s... which is understandable a 40 can't scratch a 60s shields, that's not pvp that's encouraged griefing. It just requires the development to think a bit more.

[rough wing]

The newest edition of the game should be called the bully update and will drive away a lot of us

[mossy swan]

Its absurd, lower level players are almost blocked, it is impossible to play, a level 60 may not be able to attack to level 40 players.

[quartz crescent]

I’m ops 45 getting smashed by a ops 67 with ships with power in the billion it’s just ridiculous I’m at the point of quitting all because of one player who bullies my whole server

[heavy bridge]

To make the pvp successful it will still have to be allowed in High traffic areas , neutral zones could be god but I doubt they have the tech to implement that.

I get the point of reducing the brackets, but then you will impact the purpose of a alliance. Some times the larger ops can't protect against raids, unless it's in TC, because of the bracketing

[vital viper]

Ok so obviously these are two different types of points…? Or…not?

[slate orbit]

That could be a flag in a sql table you raid a base, for the next 5 mins or untill destruction you are open for anyone to hit. It's codable. That however would put a onus on fixing client lag... lol

[mossy swan]

Yes a lot of us will leave the game if this continues this way, PvP its good for higher level players, but low level players can't do anything

[compact sigil]

Not sure if this ark is redeemable. Currently got high lvl players blocking the cardassian systems and can't get in at all.
Trying to give some constructive feedback but I am struggling. Don't like anything about it and not sure what to do. Half the alliances are targeting everything. There is no mining now, I like pvp with people my lvl as its about crew generally and tactics. Going to stop playing until something is implemented

[ocean wagon]

Just wondering, does support get paid by answering a ticket? Tired of provide screenshot when 3 posts in row says that and there’s a screenshot in the ticket

[lusty patio]

Just saw who bought scopely, it all makes sense now

[lime socket]

I think it’s the number of points past the last milestone you passed but yeah it’s weird

[heavy bridge]

It's not just a low level thing, I'm mid 50s and anyone with a rare 56 ship can pretty much decimate me at will. You just have to pay attention and it takes a but more time. Send a escort with your ship, take out other if you can, if you can't get out and try another system.
Create a gentleman agreement on your servers, miners are not scoring for the slb so don't hit them unless they are opc. Don't hit armadas unless the alliance is kos. Those are something your server can work on themselves

[lone folio]

Can you guys please fix the issue where a lvl 50 player can hit someone in the 30’s it would make the game better if the whales can’t take advantage f us little people

[slate orbit]

Necro that's part of the issue, the mission and point scoring based on diplo statues killed roe(gentlemens agreements) scoply propagated and supported griefing in this ark with its pvp design.

[compact sigil]

We have a roe (rules of engagement) but scopey have ripped that up. It's a free for all and miners are easy points to wind alliances up. Should be a central pvp zone, lvl dependant with pve ships that if hit can still count. Pvp doesn't count outside of these systems

[tame spade]

I’ve had my disco on standby to just summon my ships out of whatever systems I go to so I can avoid the level 57-64’s that have been hitting me. (I’m a 42)

[pure nebula]

Then no one shows up.@see it for incursions

[heavy bridge]

The events don't include miners, and the war room does but you can get more from opc than a pvp battle.

Seem like it is short sightedness from the players.

[slate orbit]

To some players points is points, efficiency and speed are all that matters.

[tame spade]

No problem with my opL miners getting nailed. Or even a ship floating somewhere I forgot about. Annoying, but whatever.

But getting hit with a ship I have actively moving that is trying to do a mission or hunting reds for dailies is getting obnoxious.

When it takes 30 minutes to do something that should take 1-2 minutes or even less it’s obnoxious unless you can stay online for awhile to finish.
There isn’t always time to stay online for that. Real life does exist sometimes.

[vital viper]

There’s no OPC left. So it’s ships or (almost) nothing.

[slate orbit]

I think this is one of the largest issues when your real life game tiime turns into repair irritation and a inability to complete what you could before.

[vital viper]

Man…if there’s one thing I’ve learned from decades of gaming…is that there are a lot of players for whom a game is their life and they will always have 10x the time to faff around than the rest of us.

You can’t fight against that…the only winning move is not to play.

[cosmic knoll]

stop spending money, scopely clearly looking to close the game in a year, just going to squeeze the payers as much as possible before pulling the plug.
why else would they do something like this and have all the minows and f2p leave

[gleaming kettle]

This whole PVP “upgrade” is the worst I’ve seen. Thanks for giving the bullies more reason to just kill us and block us from progressing in events.

[foggy hemlock]

The only discussion and thought that goes on is about finding the highest prices they can charge and get away with.

[languid shard]

HAAAAA, Obsidian Hamster is taking a couple of weeks off, what timing!! 🤡 😂

[bold marlin]

@tidal notch Hope you have a good holiday, you picked a good time to go lol.

Just been looking at some of the figures you can get from your server stats in game. If there is a site where you can get full stats of a server, I’d love to know

I’m a level 39 with a Power rating of just over 24m and I’m number 1036 in terms of power ranking, but the ranking will only show those near you, you can’t scroll down and see the full list. So there’s 1035 more powerful players than me on my server.

Let’s be conservative and say that there will be at least that many below me. So roughly 2000 players. (It’s likely a lot more).

The Gorn Venom SLB, the PvP leaderboard on my server, that would normally only show the top 100, and a good metric by which you can have a solid dea how popular an event is shows just 62 players out of the whole server have participated in this PvP event and have any score at all.

That’s 3.1% of the server population. And right now, it’s like a tomb with single figure player numbers in Yarda, the main auto XP camp. There’s normally around one to two hundred players in there farming XP.

So, we have an event that, on my server at least, that’s only catering to 3% of its players and no one else is playing while this event is on. That’s not good.

It’ll be interesting to see how many come back into Yarda when it’s finished.

Obviously I know my guesstimate of the server population doesn’t take into account inactive players that are still there but I think 2000 is a solid number because that’s how many per server a few other games similar to STFC have.

[hollow jasper]

Pretty sure there originally wasn't gonna be PvP scoring for the War Room, just raiding surveyors. Should have just kept it that way.

[elfin minnow]

Great job on finally finishing screwing the game up scopley. It is utter garbage now, congrats. Tell your saudi overlords they are idiots for me.

The ghost ship situation isn't fixed......

[limber mesa]

did you update the game?

[serene tinsel]

Yes

[prime socket]

Global PvP is awful. And the community has said so every time it’s been done.

[cerulean notch]

Well the war room has ruined our server. Thanks for that.

[civic haven]

You don’t have to have someone whose first language is English write the missions. But whoever’s editing or translating at least should speak English (or whatever language the missions are rendered in for the user) as their primary language. 🤦‍♂️

[bold marlin]

Thanks for the link.

Wow it’s even worse than I thought on my server. If the total number of players even scoring is 62 it’s actually less than 1% of players on my server that’s doing any PvP. Yet that 1% have caused everyone else to turtle up. Omnishambles doesn’t cover it.

[torpid cargo]

In the minority here, but I have really liked this arc. I do very much agree with the issue of galaxy wide PvP, as we have seen server 20 the top alliance has taken it to a different level. They are camping mission points, locking down the jelly brawl systems and camping in Cardi space all to disrupt the daily goings of the rest of us. They call it fun, we see it as a slaughter. PvP brackets need adjusting and keep this stuff to a few select systems.

[lucid socket]

The leaderboard only shows the number of players in your bracket that have scored, there are other brackets besides your own. Fortunately it ends in two more days

[mighty rock]

The calendar says it comes back again in 2 weeks for another 4 days, alongside an Incursion.

[lucid socket]

During incursion? Thats actually kinda cool. Oh wait, were not gonna have an incursion then

[mighty rock]

Do you have a bye week, or am I misunderstanding what you're saying?

[lucid socket]

Incursion is first friday of the month isnt it?

[mighty rock]

They're probably running them more for the PVP stuff:

[ripe oasis]

This update is garbage 🗑️

[autumn bane]

Well Scopely you have now basically made the game unplayable for anyone under level 50. Many of them can’t complete their daily events for pass points . Wonder how many of them spent money to get the full unlock and now that money is going to be wasted because they can’t get out of their stations due to constant pvp. Wonder how many players that normally spent cash for the unlock each month are now spending their cash elsewhere. Lots of games out there to play…..

[true zealot]

We build warships...to do the war thing. I for one am in the boat of playing honorable. Perhaps some whales would step up to prevent bullies in this dark time?

[devout hatch]

Whatever you did to the chests in the faction stores is TERRIBLE, it no longer tells me if I have the loot for anything or not! Chests that used to be one button push are now closer to 3! And considering the super fun lag time this game often has, forcing us to load MORE SCREENS to claim a chest that only has ONE option makes the whole thing waste MORE time and is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING.

And seriously, now I have to tap on every artifact to see what they cost. THERE'S ONLY ONE OPTION.

[finite mural]

The v iew button is not intentional and will be fixed, no eta atm.

[astral geyser]

Thank goodness because that's unbearable

[smoky plover]

I'm seeing a lot of players on our server quit because of the pvp changes. You might have finally killed the game $copely

[prime socket]

All the colored triangles around armadas are gone. Who thought that was a good idea?

[hollow blaze]

It is really bad and time wasting that now everything has a view button in faction store. Even the free claim things... I saw prices better without "view" option...

[finite mural]

scroll up

[hollow blaze]

Oh. Nice 🙂 Funny that after years we can easily think they do something on purpose, but in the end it's just a bug. 😄 Or they claim it as "not intentional" seeing how disappointing the feedback. Who knows. Anyway happy that it will be fixed. Thanks.

[fluid spruce]

<@&509691205798592532> @royal solar So PvP centric is this game is going to be…it’s been fun these last few years…good luck scopley

[urban fable]

These Ghost ships are a pain in the butt. YOU TRY TO FORCE PVP... and yet no one knows who's actually real or a mirage. FIX YOUR GAME....

[dim hemlock]

We've put up with so much garbage, bad programing and the like,but this galaxy wide pvp isn't anything more than incursion being forced on us daily now. 5 almost 6 years, and i think im finally done. 👋

[lime bough]

WOW Scopely!! You not only didn't understand when we ask something important, no... you do the opposite and worst! We keep asking for less transitions, load screens and buttons, instead you do this?! Really?! A button inside another button?! We don't want tons of transitions, we need things faster and making sense!

[finite mural]

scroll up....

[nova sierra]

@tidal notch can you put in a good word for Server 95 being on the merger list? Please we have a lot of inactive accounts on our server and could benefit from a merger.

[urban fable]

Actually, thinking on it, I bet the ghost ships are a way to pretend that the game has more players in the older dying servers, then there actually are. Also.. replied to the wrong - comment! my bad, my man!

[chrome vortex]

@tidal notch I was wondering if you could address ties in slbs. Ex: there are 10 players with the 2nd best score. In the real world there would either be a tie breaker or 10 all would be second. This happens often and is aggravating somehow in my example I go from 2nd to 11th. It's simple to fix several ways. Maybe give the advantage to the lower ops. Bottom line, make the ranking rules known. It seems to be random and unfair.

[vale wasp]

The ghost ship problem has been fixed in today's update. I'd try manually updating if you still have that problem. If that doesn't work, I'd try uninstall/reinstall.

[fossil bolt]

Anybody finding the Fed Hunt SMS a little out of balance? I would need to kill 42 lvl 64 hostiles, which is 4-5 runs with my T7 Minerva, which means repair costs of 12k 6* Trit.....reward for completing the event is 6k Trit...... Anybody finds the same imbalance on other ops levels? A lot of things changed this ARC, still need to see anything positive. At this point I am not purchasing anything further, prefer to put my money into other games where I don't get royally screwed every month 😂🐋🐳

[iron oak]

🤣 the ghost ship isn’t the thing to focus on these days I believe! Drop that PvP bs.

[tough orbit]

Love the new bugs

[bronze igloo]

It was fine for me but I am still only in the G5's

[tropic crown]

Hey Scopley if you wanted the severs dead you did a great job. I have never seen the player base less active on S40.

[violet nymph]

This update is absolutely horrible. Nothing works and the few things that work are made impossible by the forced PvP. Players are leaving or offline ... This is a huge huge fail that needs to be drilled back.

[long kite]

it is getting more and more not playable uless you pay to play how about getting some balance in the game tired of being lvl 44 and getting hit by lvl 62

[slender monolith]

I don’t even think paying will help there, heck even a low 50 is going to crush you

[heady knoll]

how to deal with bugs and lags .... grab a community manager call him hamster .once arc rolls out ,send hamster on vacation . people still complain but expect the hamster to pull it together when he returns

[bold marlin]

I don’t buy that. The number of things that had to have been completed/programmed in order for that to be a ‘mistake’ make it impossible to be anything other than deliberate.

They’ll have put in extra steps to make it tiresome but were planning to make the slicker, easier UI gated behind a Syndicate level (31 likely) or included in a Prime. They’ve already demonstrated they’re not above putting QOL improvements behind a paywall. Claim all for the gifts would be the basic UI in all other games.

The only reason they’re rolling it back is because everyone has gone nuts over this POS update.

[bold marlin]

Actually that makes it worse then. If the bracket I’m in covers 10 levels either side of me, 49 to 29, and only 62 feel want to participate, how many hundreds are sick of getting stomped and just staying in station?

[wanton kestrel]

well this is a new one for today - but certainly the least annoying of the new bugs - half the hostiles are transitioning... into me

[bold marlin]

With all the bugs, poor design, and lack of understanding as to what the players might happen if you do X thing, there’s clearly no testing being done, no test server to check if it works.
It’s all making it look like a Mickey Mouse operation. 🤦‍♂️

[wraith cedar]

I think Mickey Mouse would make a better job off arcs than the current devs 😜

[quaint siren]

They’ve said it was unintentional (on day one) and I believe it for two reasons: They continually show ineptitude. Their UI has several obviously reusable components, and my guess is they used the wrong one and then didn’t bother testing per usual.

[proven pilot]

On the new arc, just to add to many people shouting about it. The server wide PVP really needs to be addressed. Maybe some specific systems or zones for points scoring would have been a better idea.

Just now there is zero fun or interest in being crushed by players many levels higher (something they could also address for this type of event). Smaller players simply cannot compete or even complete their daily missions as they are being picked off all over each of the servers with no chance of defending themselves.

I really hope they get the message quickly that this needs fixed or mothballed completely before serious damage is done to active players numbers.

[sick egret]

Really smart of scopely to introduce monaveen auto farming and then total war building.

[brave prairie]

STOP the uncontrolled PVP if you are interested in active player base. player numbers will drop rapid unless it is fixed

[nova sierra]

Still loving the update!

[ashen edge]

Players are beginning to quit on my server, if it gets real bad I’ll probably quit too because the community on my server will have been destroyed ☹️

[sinful sluice]

The question is simple: Big kills small. Obviously a lot of people will go to other games. Investors will be happy.

[weary tapir]

They only wait … the Anger gehts down in 2-3 Days, and start again when the Developer starting the next Pvp Doom for their Payers. The Answer is, that Nobody Answer or Read is, they all went Fishing and drinking Lots of Beer, Looking at their Paycheck and laugh … there is Nobody 😀

[fresh helm]

Scopley, if you want to embrace PvP then here’s what you need to do. Make rewards for PvP tied to the players you kill. Make hitting down less rewarding and hitting up more rewarding. The biggest complaint is the crappy PvP mechanics that make it almost impossible for smaller players to defend themselves. Make it less lucrative to hit smaller players so that they will mostly be left alone.

[cosmic tapir]

I really don't have anything nice to say. But all I'm going to say is that this arc is absolutely horrible.

[quiet wadi]

The biggest problem is u have zero balance in pvp cause of no lvl cap and the high amount of difference between p2w und f2p.

U need to made it possible to get all the research u can buy for e.o. that if u get an pvp system the f2p or lowpay gamers will stay and have a chance.

so u see u have to do a lot before starting such an arc but u failed and startet with arc and frustation of community

[spark acorn]

@tidal notch Scopely broke my store. Cant buy packs if i cant log in. Havent needed to verify in 2yrs until arc launch. Now the verification emails either never show at all, or take so long to arrive that they are timed out and invalid. Again ", cant buy packs". Uh oh

[edgy blade]

Anstatt das scopely etwas an dem Chaos ändert, was sie angerichtet haben, geht der Moderator auf Urlaub. Ein inkompetentes und skrupelloses Unternehmen durch und durch. Leute wenn ihr wollt, das das Spiel wieder spielbar wird, hört auf euer sauer verdientes Geld hinein zu pulvern, solange sich nichts ändert.

[south meteor]

@vale wasp - any chance you can finagle a reaction from the powers that be re. the "View" mess up?! Like:
ETA to fix?
Will not be fixed!
We have no clue!
Something!!
(can't be "all of the above")

[grizzled tartan]

view was unintended, will be fixed, no ETA

[teal harness]

So in essence it will never be fixed.

[wooden spire]

So, Scrotely, how I am supposed to do any events when level 64s are smashing my level 46 ships whenever I try?

[winter sigil]

Please do something about these "view" buttons. We don't need another step in an already time-consuming process of collecting from the refinery and faction stores, etc.

[south meteor]

[young pivot]

I've been playing this game for years now. But I think you've finally chased me away. All the grinds were bad enough and you add more every arc. Now we have to try to do it while running for our lives from the whales camping event systems and the very grinds you burried us in. Permanent PvP with the war room is chasing players away in droves, 5 of my friends have quit the game already. If your intent was to wean out thhe mid lvl, middle class players that don't have $100's to spend in this economy then mission accomplished! Since I foolishly bought the battlepass I'm finishing this arc then I'm retiring. Between work, family, and real life there just isn't time to complete events or compete with the whales. Especially when some systems are ccamped by lvl 60's for hours bullying lower lvl players. STFC's quest to destroy server ROE's has and will mark the end for many of us. Plenty of other games out there that actually want my modest investment.

[clear edge]

I am liking the new isomatter refinery, though 🤩

[bright grail]

“PvP. Working as designed.”

[vapid bough]

[vapid bough]

https://tenor.com/view/bullying-bully-gif-25237232

[fresh helm]

I’m curious if Scopley devs could even accomplish this or if this concept is so different from what their code does now that they’d have to refactor their code from scratch (which would definitely not happen).

[young pivot]

I die instantly trying to do gorn, that is for the whales

[finite mural]

don't need to be a whale to kill them, just need to have the right officers. Ent e picard, ent e data, janeway, neelix/kim/torres below deck depending on ship type

[crimson lotus]

Your new PVP mechanic sucks balls

[oblique relic]

Surely that depends if they are talking about fighting the Gorn, or being killed on arrival?

[lavish tusk]

This has to be the worst arc yet and that’s saying something scopely. I can’t even scratch my nutz without some higher lvl player swooping in and then splat. Sure, there’s players that enjoy PvP, I for one do not, just like half the damn server. If you want PvP to be a thing then designate specific PvP systems. The only thing you will accomplish is chasing players away and limiting the amount of new players that stay. Again, THE WORST update yet, you guys can’t even get the damn game to play right and you just keep adding 🤦‍♂️

[vapid bough]

https://tenor.com/view/video-games-gif-7615702

[manic python]

in my opinion its not pvp hiting a ops45 player as an ops57 player. this is just bullying.

[fallen tide]

@spare tulip can you get your actualy customer services to reply to queries where people are cheating and abusing TOS yet they dont even take the info

[clever tiger]

I like to thank scopely for reminding me i have friends to visit and other games to play. I logged in for maybe 30 min in the last few days and was able to finish the bp events by waking up in the middle of the night and just been lucky i didn't get shot.

[foggy hemlock]

After the update that was released yesterday there is now a 10 second loading screen if you exit any menu to return to galaxy view. System view or anything else there isn't any problem but galaxy view makes the game hang up on the screen that says "preparing" for 10+ seconds.

[elfin minnow]

Im not buying anything anymore till the perma pvp is fixed. This arc is crap.

[tropic crown]

I think they changed it on purpose and now say oops because no one likes it.

[olive oar]

@spare tulip all this arc has done is validate and motivate all the worst actors on my server. i actually enjoy PvP, and i usually score really well in PvP events. I buy all the elite passes. i bought voyager and monaveen, and a few treasuries. i got my wife playing. she buys the elite passes, and she dominates her bracket in PvP events.

we're both looking at walking away after this update. why did you do this?

[vapid bough]

https://tenor.com/view/the-purge-gif-21943712

[sturdy dune]

This mess reminds me of the very very early days of the game before we adopted ROE on our server. You couldn't mine or anything really unless you had protection from larger players. So many people just gave up. Sucked then sucks now.

[thorn fossil]

a statement from scopely would be great - a kind of "ok, we thought only from introduction until getting money for packages and forgot the consequences - but we work already on a proper solution to bring the fun back - for pve and pvp player"

[broken shale]

I am ops 40. I still haven’t been able to kill a silent hostile and I cannot touch the Gorn either. Another arc I miss out on.

[scenic stirrup]

well maybe we as usual player have insufficient rights but what about the <@&509691611903426561> what's your thought on these things?

[vapid bough]

sadly we need a g4 uncommon ship to do these ones at a minimum

[sonic valley]

Not really, but it is heavily dependent on your crews, research, artificats, etc. Im 41 and can kill plenty of silents and gorns, but I'm one of those insane slb pushers who camped a long time and is in a very good place.

[blazing compass]

Easy fix! Buy a six pack of beer! Guaranteed to be more enjoyable 🤣🤣

[blazing compass]

I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for that statement from Scopely Odin 🤣🤣

[spring merlin]

Nothing new to add but my voice. I like the occasional PvP, but getting ganked by players well above my ops level is just not fun. Doing the simplest of tasks these past couple of days has been frustrating at best. In one release the spirit of the game negatively changed for me.

[vapid bough]

huh im 41 too and can not kill either, have some ok crews too so dunno why im not getting a kill

[pale socket]

[foggy hemlock]

Im 39 and kill a few silents per token. If u can't beat one at 41 then you need to start reading desciptions better and choose officers accordingly.

[thorn fossil]

great comment - i like it - unfortunately there is truth in it - more and more long term player quit currently. also if i buy all available packages i will be killed instant by a 64ops if i try to reach a mission point - this is fun ... wait is not

[last nest]

best way to showing dislike is not giving a single cent and falling into your temptations. the wallet is the most powerful tool from for profit orgs but i doubt this community of addicts have the ability

[wooden spire]

I’ve given up today. No events completed, couldn’t do them because of camping whales destroying everyone with their 1 billion+ ships. I don’t play to be cannon fodder for sociopaths.

Tried talking about it in GC, that causes many whales to become vocal and gang-up in the expected fashion of bullies, and everyone else to go quiet for fear of consequences.

Got mocked, of course. Told to stop crying, of course. Usual immaturity from wealthy but terribly ill and emotionally under-developed 40 to 60+ year olds. Normal for Dark Triad personality types (research this if you want to understand many behaviours you see in game. The game offers a look at a good cross section of society).

The above was because I, at level 46 in my 12 million power Jelly, was trying to do Jellyfish Brawl, but a parked level 64 in his 1 billion power ship was disallowing everyone from doing the event. So I tried doing battle pass cardassians, but another high level camper destroyed me.

As expected with sociopaths, success must come at all costs. Only the goal matters, not the path (or people) to it. Not necessarily a problem if Scopay didn’t enable them. On the plus side, more real life for me today.

[grave tartan]

The logic doesn't logic with this pvp event. Scopely is looking to generate more revenue and thinks a pvp event will do the trick. They believe every will have fun attacking each other and spend money to get stronger to win. But, the reality says otherwise.

What actually happens is the high Ops level players target the lower Ops level players, so they turtle up. This causes difficulty in finishing non-pvp events and player frustration. The big players do fight each other because ships are too expensive to repair. High Ops doesn't need to spend to blow up low Ops, low Ops doesn't spend because it won't matter.

To borrow a line from The Rainmaker for Scopely, you must be stupid, stupid, stupid.

[crimson lotus]

Your new PVP mechanic sucks balls

[woeful nymph]

Having ships hiding in bases and having players not log in because they don't want to get curbstomped is a great way to reduce server lag.

[grave tartan]

There's always that small group in the game, and apparently at Scopely, that seem to think this game is like Call of Duty, but it's not. This game is more closely related to Sid Meier's Civilization. Develop strategies, form alliance, gather resources, build armies, have wars. Things like that.

[brazen patrol]

this is what happens when you're lazy and let ChatGPT do the writing for you without any QA at all

[sonic valley]

For silents I am using Ent E picard, Ent E data, and Phlox. Janeway, Trip, Phlox was my second best, and before I had Phlox I used Janeway Ent E Data, Doctor. For Gorns I am using Ent E Pic, Ent E Data, Janeway, but Janeway, Doc, Ent E data also works. Auger is maxed, and I think is the real key for my setups working very well is I have a max Torres and Neelix below decks, with a T2 hugh and some others. Damage just really ramps up, my ENT and D4 which are also maxed can't come close to the Augers performance.

[vapid bough]

only one of them i have not got is ent picard

[opaque raft]

@vale wasp : any news on progress on the missing mission for lvl34-37? When will those players be able to finish the ‘complete missions’ sms?

[dapper carbon]

Love the new feature where you have to click everything in faction store to see what you need to upgrade or purchase, nice 👍 love it NOT,!!

[hard aurora]

I am begging you folks at Scopely, please re-align the game clocks. It's getting beyond ridiculous to figure out when daily and arc events start and finish.

[vapid bough]

so long as some idiot spends money on the game they wont

[radiant terrace]

I have heard the mission is 40+, so we can't finish the event

[opaque raft]

If that is the case, the meta sms should be adapted to that so we can finish that and get the appropriate rewards

[nova sierra]

I was able to claim them all from the holodeck about 2hrs ago ops level was 34

[opaque raft]

Also the ‘Slay it again Sam’ mission? Its still not in my holodeck

[radiant terrace]

I only got 3 there ( and the 1 from a chest). I have heard it was a 40+ only Gorn event

[nova sierra]

@radiant terrace "Slay it again Sam" has had issues I know it was taken off to be fixed some suggested it would be back later, I guess I was lucky

[opaque raft]

Thx for info.
Apparently you didnt have to kill gorns for that mission?

[nova sierra]

oh I see what you mean, the Gorn space needs "deep space" mission completed thats ops 38. I had killed Gorn's up there already to be honest so I don't know if you do or don't. Logic would suggest they are ops 34 so you wouldn't but this is $copely so how knows. sorry can't help any more than that

[opaque raft]

How could you have been in DS when at lvl34?

[radiant terrace]

It didn't even show up for me. I haven't been too concerned because if the new global pvp/building mechanic doesn't go, i'll be quitting with the majority of players

[nova sierra]

I am 44 the missions in the holodeck is 34, hence I dont know if you have to kill Gorn because I did already yesterday and claimed the missions around 3pm GMT @radiant terrace Luckily our server has been very sensible and those that want pvp have organised it together so others haven't been abused

[marsh tide]

I’ve accepted this is part of the game it’s staying as did tc and incursions may be tweaked and changes but doubt it’s going to be removed

[opaque raft]

<@&509691205798592532> Can you make it so Scopely makes an announcement on the flaw with ‘Slay it again Sam’/Complete new missions’ missions for medium lvl30 players, confirming the issue will be resolved?

[tropic crown]

Your phantom ship update doesn’t work.

Hello again, just a unfriendly reminder your PVP push is trash, whoever thought of it needs canned. That is all.

[mossy widget]

What the H Scolplay your really wanna make it impossible for lower lvl people to be able to play this game wow this is stupid dont mind people being able to find are star base's that's fine but to let people see how long your star base shield time is !!! That's a crock.

[mossy gust]

I remember years ago when they banned accounts for using an exploit called Scotty's Workshop which did exactly that. Now they're charging people for it.

[mossy widget]

This is getting sickening tho . Ya there gonna get the big dogs to buy this .... I'd hate to see what kind of crap there gonna do next . Well I'm just gonna say F it and start hunting if I get hit then I get hit I know now I'm sure as hell not gonna spend anymore money on this game it's just not worth it anymore lol

[slate crown]

so, 5 years scopely making a space farm from this game, ignoring any requests about more pvp and now they wants us to fight, after strike teams and freeman, when every pvp now its a kicking the babies or a pure lottery? its even no funny anymore.

[rich cypress]

I don’t think anyone should be fired. I do feel this is a terrible arc with horrible events and feature. It has caused many to quit. So Good job Scopely-

[cosmic knoll]

you sure it isnt this? @tidal notch
pretty sure we know why pvp looses more participation/players than making money
FUNNY thing is, they stopped the 'realta burn' because it allowed a 0 cost ship to wreck a bigger costly ship ... and look at what we got now? smells like they protecting whales again

[bronze igloo]

Damn that's a beefy Realta lol

Serious suggestion for everyone who dislikes the new PvP crap: do what I’ve done, long shield and leave the game. Overcome the urge to do things in game, remember life will go on. I’m starting with a few days of not logging on at all. Maybe then I’ll leave the game, not sure. Only by stats showing people are staying away is there any hope of this awful decision being reversed.

oh. i go thru the pinned button and have to click the desktop icon for it to look for one. but sure.

[willow patrol]

So here's a suggestion that could help the disasters going on in Territories where the top alliances are coming in, sweeping everyone and it's left to 4 or 5 cloaked ships to decide the win rather than actual PvP. What if the PvP points in territory was only if you're participating in the defense/capture?

[round shard]

Was this actually the plan? We just have a game of players flying about hitting bases, hitting miners, camping mission checkpoints, hitting territory defences they have no stake in and on and on.
The game is now filled with pointless random attacks aimed at the easiest of targets. And they get rewarded for it.
If this wasn't the plan, how bad does someone need to be at their job not to have seen this would be the result?

[willow patrol]

It was the plan, let the spenders punch down hard and win while doing it

[pulsar venture]

the answers are in the results

[round shard]

And I bet the mission writers love it when people have no choice but to tap past all the dialogue because it's not worth the risk of reading it. Could have given them a month off.

[undone onyx]

This game is no longer playable. Wherever I go, I am immediately reduced to dust. It's virtually impossible to complete everyday tasks, and spending money on a game you can't play is pointless.

[lost beacon]

There was no plan apart from to try and make players spend more money in a vain hope they might have a chance, how many things do you need to scroll through to try and get to your daily tab. It's beyond ridiculous even trying to find a event worth doing amongst all the pay to participate events. 🤷🏼‍♂️😔

[last nest]

i mean it works alot of people instantly bought the battlepass day one and now they have to suffer for their purchase. its actually funny to me though since i havnt bought anything in years. 🤣

[spark acorn]

Its easy to complete dailes etc in war time conditions even. Done it for months straight. The only players growth you can stop in this game are the ones who quit or never try.

[last nest]

ah yes im sure people didnt try clearly you know every player in the game and how their servers work surely you arent in the top 5 alliances and are in a small alliance and barely spend with that type of assumption. Truly an honor to know the wisest all knowing (insert level here)

[spark acorn]

Lots of facepalms from the uneducated. Facts you can check. Server 90 (my server) is 7 or 8 wins 1 loss incursions, meaning lots of bigs, also on my server youll find a few alliances that have been KOS for over 2yrs by pretty much the entire server,and you know what they still here and still growin. In conditions worse than the incursions you face, cause here there isnt another server to hop back to or a system you wont be found. So if im wrongm how they doing it? They arent whales they are regular players who adapted to the game they play. I.e didnt quit and dont stop trying. Im comm in the #2 alliance on arguably one of the top servers. But yes your correct im dumb or incorrect.

[last nest]

interesting that your chat logs four months ago was you complaining and talking about boycotting im guessing you started buying packs again and now you have to start defending them due to revenue being put back into the game

[eager mantle]

you're

[wooden spire]

Ah, incorrectly correcting someone. Sweet.

[spark acorn]

Of course. Was mad at the whales for buying garbage not because they whales. And as they drive the economy here i felt we needed them to get scopelys attention for said garbage. Im bp only dont buy packs i grind. Lmao. You some kind of conspiracy nut or somethinn friend? Trolls abound and never listen to logic. They only fling wild accusations about things they clearly are devoid of any knowledge on and are very inept at.

[wooden spire]

“They only fling wild accusations about things they clearly are devoid of any knowledge on and are very inept at.”

You do realise you have inadvertently described your own activities? I think those of us complaining are quite right in saying whether we find something easy or not, despite your attempt at invalidation and the odd logic used. Not easy, hence complaining. If it was still easy to complete events, wouldn’t be complaining. Simple hey?

[spark acorn]

Not so. Trolls be trolling. I think i like where i sit in this game. Its u who has the issues. And when help is offered or advice or perspective you chime in again. See ya later sewer troll who wants easy in a war game? Those who dont wznt to try and play as intended. Lmao

[last nest]

Hey man i’ve played longer and i dont change my stance on anything my logs are consistent. More experience and know alot about the game. Im just being openly observant on your inconsistency. live life though i can tell you’re addicted.

[wooden spire]

Ah, ad hominem attack when confronted. Might want to check a mirror for the real troll. It’s called projection. Enjoy the game, but accept others aren’t enjoying it. It’s not a war game, silly billy. The “war” aspect is based purely on the mechanic of who spends the most. No skill, no guile, no bravery, nothing more. Bye now.

[spark acorn]

Defeatists gonna be defeatists.

when it does happen ill be sure to use all my resources and finally dip 🤣 (all i do is dailies so nothing is lost)

[undone onyx]

I was reduced to dust seven times in a row in just an hour. No mining, no missions, no daily tasks requiring the use of ships can be done. Staring blankly at the computer and waiting for the next shot when I go anywhere from the station is no longer fun for me. Scopely won't get a cent from me for ruining this game. In fact, I am the one who should be compensated for misleading me with an incentive to play.

[spare barn]

When did making a decision to change the direction of your life to enrich it become a bad thing to be shamed & criticized? If I decide that playing STFC is not how I want to spend my time anymore, I am a ‘quitter’? Respectfully, I do not agree with this. You do you. If you deem playing STFC a wise and valuable investment of your limited time on this plane of existence, I do not begrudge you. STFC for better or worse is a community of real people. This is one real person to anyone that cares… I am trying to be better, kinder to everyone including myself. Take care of yourself and each other. 🖖

[cyan arch]

I am playing since beginning of the lockdown. This is the best expansion ever.
No harm on some action!

They gonna have a mechanic that tells you when a players shield goes down. Its supspected to work on the Voyager scan.

[versed furnace]

Well, scopeley have now completely ruined the game. What used to be Warmonger Weekend only once a month has now become the new arc and I have not been able to play all week. Good job encouraging all the bullies! Since I can no longer play, will be looking for another game.

@uncut spear, kind of an interesting choice to have the table for the War Room be at ops lock, which I assume will take a significant time for most of us to get to from now...

[exotic wave]

got to say the warchest guide is utterly useless as the level of the building is way beyond any persons level for the majority of players

[somber venture]

Why did they add MORE clicks. It already takes too long to go though the refinery and faction and store. Seems like the wrong direction to me.

[acoustic cloud]

I for one very much appreciate the clarity that the war chest rewards are going to continue to be mid, regardless of how high the thing is levelled.

I thought maybe I was missing out for having it at a low level, but very much appreciate scopely confirming its complete trash.

[eager wave]

That blog post seems to imply that unless you spend money on building upgrade packs it will take ~9 years to get the war room to level 40. May I generally feedback that that is absolutely crazy?

[quasi wren]

AGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Why, why for all that is honorable why? You added a click to the already enormous amount of clicks we have. In the Faction tab if you are not adding a slider or multiple choice boxes. Why on earth do I need to Open that tab to pick the ONLY option I have?????

[cloud lantern]

regarding this table:
of course it might be at those numbers given the building is on their opslevel.

But to be Honest. An Ops 7 (Warchest 7) player doesn`t need 5 weeks of time to level 1 building up.
Sourcing is bad. I get why you want to slowly let it grow. the isolytic damage it provides really is gamebreaking in the g3 era.
But on the other side, an Ops 50 player might need 14-15 years till his building reaches his ops. and during ALL THIS TIME, the resources in the warchest are ... USELESS.

[gusty fractal]

and with only one "seal of ko'tal" per event F2P need 100 events to unlock related research that is 2 years of "war room" event...2 years with a PvP event

[wary citrus]

what a joke, the sourcing for the Emblems is HORRIBLE, SCOPLEY fix it

[olive oar]

<@&509690795536941056> I'm in a top 10 alliance on my server, and NOBODY is joining apex armadas because everyone knows there no point in leaving dock with a warship. FIX THIS UPDATE

[charred ravine]

The War room loot tables article that was just announced is based on a very poor assumption: “assuming your War Room and Operations level match.”

That article tells me nothing useful about the war room, and what is worse it irritates me when I read such a flawed and ignorant assumption is made. That is the opposite effect you were trying to achieve.

Please NEVER EVER make such an assumption. Write it on a paper and burn it, never to be seen again.

Today we are 3 days since arch launch. Everyone began with their respective ops and a war-room lvl 1, with a couple of packs its gets to 21.

Instead you should show loot for whatever you estimate the lvl of the warroom will be at arch-end, as well show up to war room lvl that some the packs give. For example 16 with the special or 21 with special plus normal, etc.

I am ops 61, it will take multiple years or probably 10s of packs to get it 61. Are you so lost that you really thought I would find value in knowing ops 61 lvl 61 room will be?! Think again/some more please!

[gusty fractal]

coordination among players and speed-up

[clever orbit]

It's great scopely have introduced a system this month that makes ALL loops and events effectively much harder, especially for lower ops. Just what people were asking for.

[olive oar]

Yeah, we should need to start treating armadas like secret raids. That's what's up.

[sage valve]

If you want this to be more pvp game then level protections need to be installed. A level 62 should not be able to hit a 43. If that continues I'm done after a few grand and 4 yrs spent playing

[wise tide]

I just don’t have words for how much damage the last few arcs have done for the game. This one though is just so so bad. Expectations were low to begin with but this is worse than any of us could have anticipated. Taking something that is constantly crashing and on the brink of unplayable and then adding the forced global PvP on top of that. Awful hostiles to grind with terrible rewards. Several even more blatant than usual pay to win events. More primes to widen the PvP gap even further without revisiting the ranges. I just don’t know how the game even comes back from this. The community has been crying out for meaningful change for so long and this as a response is so incredibly tone deaf and damaging. We just want our game back, please. There aren’t enough hours in the day to do all of the things the game requires, and on top of that you add more and then give us the added strain of huge ops punching down every time someone enters a system. You’ve over monetised it and primed to the point where each has to be more extreme than the last. You should be absolutely ashamed to have used the IP of the franchise in this way. The content creators, devs, management and anyone else involved in these decisions should be truly ashamed of yourselves. You’ve completely destroyed something that so many of us enjoyed. Just stop, please just stop. You must be able to see that you’re doing so much harm here <@&509690795536941056>

[elfin minnow]

Nah games dead, quit.

[wind grotto]

For the love of god Scopely, change your idiotic PVP ranges if you don’t want people to leave.

[half saddle]

I think most of the comments here are close, but missing the point. Scopely is just trying to hit quarterly goals for a game they know is already in decline. Less F2P means mergers, which means less server costs. There is no longer a plan for player retension, only boosting sales. They've seen time after time that this is best done through rage purchases caused by the lack of pvp banding.
It's a new business model to make the most out of the game before it dies altogether. I'm sure they already have a new Star Trek game in development by now.

[radiant terrace]

It seems like it, but still shortsighted. These raging bullies will have no passive lower level players to pick on, and will spend their money elsewhere

[half saddle]

You'd think so, but let's face it. The target demographic is mostly players with more money than common sense. Even after repeatedly terrible arcs & broken mechanics, how many players have progressed past lvl 60 already? They feel they have an "investment" in the game, and don't seem to realize it's just throwing good money after bad.
And because of this, those are the players intent on griefing lower ops players at every opportunity. I'm sure they justify this by the sense of entitlement they have from spending so much already. The beatings will continue until morale improves, so to speak.

[urban fable]

The good news is, the sociopaths that get their only dopamine hit in life, by hitting miners and lower level players, are killing digital players and npcs in a game and not abusing things irl. And on another good note, This arc is just highlighting the games issues. and the more the players Scopely is catering to, makes the game unattenable to growth, it will just quicken the churn to the point not enough new players will enter to replace the loss. The quicker the game dies, the quicker the whales realize they paid their retirements into ephemeral purchases, and they can think whistfully when working the drive thru at the local fast food restaurant into their 80s.

[nova sierra]

I quit the game 2 days ago but I am still addicted to the channels on this discord. Everything I've been reading just reaffirms 100% my decision to leave the game. Actually, it's turning out to be a hotter mess with the new bugs introduced. Maybe in a week I will open up the game again to run some armadas with a cloaked ship just to mess with the whales hunting anything that moves. 🤣

[quartz basin]

sadly the data tells the opposite story😢

[grim helm]

Don't get me started on the more money than common sense. When the game has a tier for players they designate as "vip" without any public definition, which gets preferential treatment, with most in-game purchasable content being pricepointed at $99USD, a private VIP discord, and still, still can't manage to make a playable game even for them, well, it is coming close to time to pack it in. I mean, I've bought a few thousand in packs in the slightly less than a year I've played, and well, I'm still a small fry and don't matter to Scopely. Why should I bother when I can buy a complete game experience, for significantly less, elsewhere?

[last nest]

the top of the top are a million or more spent in game vip is probably $600,000 minimum

[dire hazel]

@half saddle Its not new. South Park episode Beelzebutt Freemium...

anyone who spent more tha 5$ a month on this needs counseling...and 5 is extravagant for a game to play while going number 2...

[raven gust]

Take your open galaxy pvp and shove it. !!!!

[woven atlas]

I just want to thank Scopely Wholeheartedly, for opening up more time in my day. The new Gorn Hostiles are a full 1/3 of the power of my Kelvin, and even with Isolytic crew on board I can still only kill 1 per hull. So therefore it is another grind that I won't be doing. You can add it to the list of "New Content" that F2P players are having trouble enjoying. Also, the PVP focus of the the new building, and the now constant annoyance of people attacking my ships at random for no reason other than to complete your stupid events. I will now enjoy much more time on other games that actually value their player base, not their wallets.

[quaint siren]

I’m killing nearly 20 of them in my T4 Valdore, using Janeway/Ent-E Picard/Ent-E Data…

[bright grail]

Funny, with Janeway/EEPicard/EEData on my POS Valdore, I can kill a dozen per hull.
You’re doing something wrong

[bronze igloo]

The 49's are easy for me but the 51's are strong

[woven atlas]

Janeway Capt?

[quaint siren]

Yes, for shields. Having Picard works, just not as well.

[gritty scaffold]

...

[woven atlas]

Still only 1 kill per hull@quaint siren@bright grail

[bright grail]

Yup

[vale wasp]

Your BDA lineup is lacking. You should have Paris + Hugh down there at the very least. Torres is great for a Kelvin too.

[finite mural]

Also picard should be captain

[woven atlas]

I don't have Hugh because he is too hard to get. and I am not paying for him. Paris and Torres I can do. I have 67/120 for Hugh

[vale wasp]

Hugh is in the Talios solo armada loop. It's f2p... eventually, so a good place to get him.

[woven atlas]

The only Solo Borgmadas i can do are uncommon, can't kill a rare yet for some reason. I know that I should be able to. but always fail, even with Exos And I really hate slow mode. makes it hard to respond in a timely manner. @vale wasp I managed to get about 4 kills per hull with your advice. Thx

4 Gorn kills per hull. Best I can get. on Kelvin

[bright grail]

Take out Grush and put Mariner in there. Or Neelix

Don’t know what to tell you. You probably have a research deficiency, then.

[woven atlas]

3 kills with Mariner, 1 kill with Neelix. I was using Grush for defense stats. Might try Health stat instead.

[crimson stream]

What other BD officers do you have? At some point, Ghrush's utility as a stat filler is outweighed by a medium sized BD officer. Sometimes I'll even take Badgey over Ghrush.

And I don't want to sound mean, but at t4, that ship should be nearing 20mil

[woven atlas]

I am behind on research for sure. I have been using lat and speedups as fast as I get them to catch up. I jumped 39-43 too fast. I am stacking transporter patterns to level up Mariner and other BD officers. Biggest problem right now is the materials bottleneck. Can't refine fast enough to upgrade ships and research at the same time. Heath stat below didn't help. looks like Grush is my best bet for now.

[crimson stream]

There is no finish line in this game. There is literally no need to speed through anything.

[twilit plover]

@rigid vapor still waiting for the quality part of the roadmap. My quality of life has gone to crap. But your adding quantity is at an all time high.

[bright grail]

Guy on our server got frustrated, went from Ops 39 to Ops 56 in about two months.

Still isn’t any better of a player, though.

[woven atlas]

@crimson stream No, there isn't. But there are active events. And unless I catch up, I cannot finish them. Then I fall behind even more. Then the next arc comes out, and I am more behind, and so on...

[molten wyvern]

From how complicated the game seems to be , with all the different sorts of research you need to do , iso something something damage , one really needs to do a serious amount of reading guides etc. in order to even know what the hell all those things later on in the game means.

[bright grail]

Don’t worry about completing every event. Do the ones you can, and do your best on the others. Sometimes you just gotta shrug and say, “Oh, well…”

[crimson stream]

Yeah I hear you. That's a hard mindset to break out of, wanting to complete the events. That's what scopely counts on. They have perfected their FOMO down to an exact science. Now my goal in gameplay is not so much to be better than others, but rather to not let scopely win. To try to maximize every efficiency I can, no matter how long I stay at an ops, lol 😆

[heady cedar]

look, its christmas! lol

[fervent minnow]

Ugh, the spelling and grammar errors in this arc's missions are the worst yet. Such a degradation of standards, no one at Scopely cares.
As Sheldon would say, it's an indictment of the American education system.

[crimson stream]

That's just scopely quality

[pseudo thicket]

Some of my guys were finding success with Pike, Moreau and Ent E Data, I also found TNG Picard, Bev and Ent E Data to be successful against the Gorn.

[fervent minnow]

Standard damage does not affect the Gorn, they mitigate it all. You need Isolytic damage officers, research via artifacts.

[finite mural]

<@&509691205798592532>

[pseudo thicket]

And Ent E Data is ISO with Pike or TNG Picard boosting his ability in combat. Thanks for your input without trying the crews out.

[fervent minnow]

Hey, whatever combo gets the job done. 👍🖖

[fair jolt]

The lack of decency in this game is appalling...not only is Scopley unable to provide a balanced pvp-experience, they also set the wrong incentives: Killing empty miners should always be punished by a game, whose only properly working part is the strategic resourcemanagement aspect (which since arcfall is utterly disrupted). Setting aside that certain players seem to thrive only in antagonistic behavior it is a fundamental wrong that players in defacto godmode can attack people so far out of their league they won't even make a dent in their ships in a million battles.
Will Scopley make money out of this mess, they created? Probably, some people still think they can buy their way to sucsess. But the cost will be the loss of a lot of f2p or not so well developed accounts who will be hindered on even completing battlepass events which are effectivly blocked by invincible players.

For me as someone who played for 5 years in this game (also enjoying some well dosed pvp engagements) it is crystalclear that the game as we knew it is over...when Scopley promised Consolidation, they obviously only ment squeezing the money out of those easily pressured. They deliberatly want to shrink the f2p population, less Servers less costs. When all complained about new loops beeing too time consuming: well, the "Purge" all day long, everywhere is even more timeconsuming!

Businesswise I understand them...but as I -like so many others who only spend little money on the battlepasses - can neither effecticly compete nor enjoy the game anymore it may be time to say goodbye to stfc!

[thick whale]

Since the last update the exocomp availability counters have been permanently displayed (used to show until viewed, like refinery counters). Showing this permanently on the main screen is distracting and annoying (and can't be hidden like refinery etc).

[balmy iris]

@uncut spear There was no confusion. We only get good loot when we pay. Understood.

[dapper galleon]

Doubt my voice will be heard but the game is ruined (even more so) by this forced pvp anywhere anytime nonsense. Enjoy the cash cow scopely

[plain marsh]

Ok so voyagers new refit is epic but so messed up lmao, What if I don't want you to know how long my shield has on it lmao, But wow such an epic looking refit, so far I think that would be one I'd be willing to spend $$$ on.

[short owl]

well done scopely!!! People must clearly understand that playing fantasy and making money is just a scam, where various individuals syphon real money from real people. and this is happening here. Some scammers pretend they deliver something good, under the fantasy umbrella Star Trek. Reality is: lag, bugs, increassing agressivity in the game, because dramatism shortens the path between a screen and pay button. so... the more people understand they are scammed (legit scam) the more they will leave this behind. bye scammers!

[cyan arch]

That folder logic in faction stores is a huge annoyance and it was a silly thing to do.

[vapid bough]

its a joke mate, even when the alliances make new rules so everyone can play the game in peace, you still get the hard core i have a bigger dk so im gonna swing it people come stop you from getting stuff done

[midnight pilot]

Maybe if they reduced pve content to b4 this arc pvp event amounts
You'd be happier only having 2 days of events no battle passes, at all.
No swarm Sunday, no mining Monday, no cerritos on Wednesday, no apex Thursday no material spend rewards, no tickets no ship or officer sourcing at all.
Just packs for everything.
Ie. Back to game of 5 years ago.
You'd be happy right.

Or you unhappy you are getting more events

Really if you don't like them simple choice, shield up don't score don't collect free stuff.

[fair jolt]

Sometimes I wonder of people read before posting😪 Maybe re-read my opinion.

PvE is fine....pvP is broken. I want Scopley to understand that the current design is driving people away because 90% can not compete in pvp anymore due to missing brackets, and in pve they are easy pick ups as well. Add the sadly high number of players going for every empty miner there is and you have the perfect frustration. 90% of players are sick of playing The Purge! Make pvp great again by adding decent rules to the events and the warroom.

[midnight pilot]

And yet any ship actively mining doesn't score. Including warships.
So they just killing stuff cos event says they can and your roe is useless.
That's not scopely problem that's a you problem

[fair jolt]

No, it is game design. If there was a massive penalty for doing the honorless emtpy miner kill, things would be much better. But Scopley insist on "every kill" counts towards warroom.

(There will always be players who will use any excuse to act up, I will give you that...but when Scopley "encourages" it, it gets out of hand. And that is where we are now...)

[vapid bough]

klingons wouldn't see it as honorless, they would kill people in there hospial beds with honour so a mining ship is nothin

[spiral tartan]

The War Room "Emblems of Honor" can be acquired by opening your Warchest regularly - make sure to open it every week it is active
Some people seem to think it resets after the 7 day cycle ends and so there's basically "no escaping the pvp". Is there any documentation on when it's open? I thought it was similar to Treasury Chest - whenever it's activated by server, but not 24/7.

[finite mural]

Only thing mentioned was Eco saying it won't be every week

[dense reef]

I've played for 5 years now , I would rather put up with all the glitches than this forced pvp . Good job scopely ! I've already seen players quit but I think that's what they want ! Now it's up to the money spenders ( or moms credit card ) players to fight it out and pick on the f2p ! Game has always been unbalanced . Now it's a money spenders or whales only club ! I will no longer give them my money and when I'm out of mats , I'm gone !

[viscid solar]

(lvl 15) Is there a way for me to get Isolytic damage ability?

[tiny axle]

I quit the game just over a month ago because of the constant grinds and cost of keeping up - it felt like a second job that sucked the life out of me but I made some great friends via various alliances.

I think this latest update is Scopely's way of saying bleep bleep to F2P and occasional spenders. If some of the players love this, good for them but from what I have ascertained, players are quitting in pretty large numbers so there won't be many players left to destroy.

Way to go Scopely - not only have you shot yourselves in the foot, you've shot yourselves in the head this time round.

[dawn cave]

Cerritos buff your ship, get a few more. Also look at Away teams research, I can't recall it off the top of my head but interceptors against battleship research at the far end.

[south rampart]

Nobody is quitting. Pixels from randos on a forum is no proof anyone has gone anywhere. Hell, my friend's ex-girlfriend's former high school bestie's 99 year old grandmother just bench pressed 250 lbs.

[sharp yarrow]

ive had 6 people quit in the last 48 hours

[south rampart]

Unless they started the game over and wrote over their saved progress, they'll be back in a week/month/whatever to check on the state of the game.

Even if they decided to leave all together, it's such a small portion of player base that it isn't even going to register a blip on Scopely's radar. Monthly revenue might drop...what....a couple thousand?

[woven atlas]

Thanks. I actually used Cerritos buff and Titan buff, and got about 17 kills on my Kelvin Hull.

[midnight pilot]

Umm scopely didn't design roe,
Scopely really didn't create it, so anything roe related is player problem.

[midnight pilot]

Seriously you obviously never learned stuff like.. Make the game fun or do what you want not what scopely wants.

I do like 2hrs grinding a month for each loop.
Old loops.
Actually this month eliminated 3 grinds totally
Only grinds are 3 runs if gorn per day
And 2 runs xindi reptiles.
So really no idea what you consider a grind.
Why did you quit, or more to point as ftp why did you even think you could compete with p2p.

Everyone plays a different game.
Noone plays like you do.
So it's your choice how and when you play

[spark acorn]

Good,imo more pvp content means farmvillers will quit instead of the pvpers for a change. Ill be called bully for playing a game that much less. Fantastic work Scopely.

[tiny axle]

I did pay for battle passes, research queues etc but I had enough of the grinds and unattainable SLB events. The dailies and events just weren't fun any more either. I did try to improve my efforts but it proved to be pointless. I had taken time out a couple of times but I came to the realisation that I wasn't deriving much enjoyment from the game like I used to. Only my alliance friends kept me sane but it got to a point that this game became digital heroin but for all the wrong reasons.

[spark acorn]

Actually scopely employees posing as new players on new servers introduce and help setup their server discord. Scopely knew conflict would arrise amongst players the moment anyone decides to make a rule to play for others thats in direct conflict with Tos. Fact. One has been caught before. A player messaged a community manager and the dude responded to the player by mistake from his in game account and was ousted. Silly but true.

Things like "who are you to tell me how to play" and "whales trying to decide what i do" etc etc are natural responses to this and work in scopleys benifit.

[fair jolt]

Well, I guess you do not want to see it then.😂 If you must defend Scopleys big mistake against this overwhelming community feedback, so be it. The 90% do not appreciate Scopley incentivicing EMKs. You can not hold players responsible when the fix is so easily available to Scops. So I respect your opion, put please see that you are devils advocate here😉

[spark acorn]

The "false premise" that somehow scopelys game was so poorly derived and built that "players" had to fix it, is nothing more than clever pyschological maninupulation. They want you to make rules players disagree with cause "its not scopelys" rules so you fight over them rules. For they helped build their discord empire and the roe fanatics who fuel all these fires inadvertanty. They care not what those "roe" systems look like, cause they know that the moment even bad roe is created they have won, by putting players in conflict with each other, i.e the Roe writers "usually whales" and players saying its not scopelys rules.

[crude sandal]

That's cute, you think Scopely play the game regularly 😄

[spark acorn]

Lol only enough to cause issues and stay informed of what we do to counter them through roe

[midnight pilot]

Lol evidence of game design, mechanics etc mean that if scopely employees play... It's not much...
Actually more employees started out as players.
Once they become emoyees they are encouraged to not play

[spark acorn]

That may be true, however they exist and as a business its in their interest to "watch" their servers from in game unaware to us. They need marketing info, player responses organically occuring live is valuable also. This is most billion dollar businesses and not just scopely. I mean they all spend millions on pychoanalysts and grp think this stuff im saying is not new info. Its standard for all the money ppl. Just want ppl to blame the correct ppl. Its definately only "partially" regular players fault

[midnight pilot]

And tbh why you letting individuals say how everyone plays shouldn't that be a group decision, or is it too easy to let others do the work and much easier to moan after.?

Much like you have right to vote in countries elections but don't, then moan when persons make decisions for those that did vote right?

Lol they obviously just watch us servers cos 90% of them have no idea why dailies are 1hr out or even care...
A decision made over a year ago to not bother with Dst rollback

[crude sandal]

they're an hour seperated on US servers too 😄

[spark acorn]

Im not saying "i allow or dont allow anything". My point was its not a new players fault when a scopely handler gets to them before anyone know what roe is, and suggests and helps them start it. Thus starting all the conflicts with it. Scopley designed it all not players. We just took the suggested idea and ran with it in all its variations across almost all servers.

[midnight pilot]

Next you'll be saying moderators and content creators are employees...
Cos if so they want to know where their wages are
What I don't get is you get all this free stuff from events, pvp or pve.
But you fine getting ship damaged or killed in pve.
But not hot by another player in pvp.

Why.
Because in pve you control how much damage and when you die.
But in pvp you have no control.

So really it's about you wanting 100% control.
But there's 1,000s of other players who also want 100% control.

Or do you just want you v game?

[idle bobcat]

Sure miss my armada rarity triangle. What gives more clicks? Booooo. 👎

[crude sandal]

I said this yesterday, but, those are just failed/quit/restarting players from other servers who are smart enough to click a 'subscribe' button on discord announcment channels.

If you have someone saying they're affiliated with scopely, I'll show you someone who's about to get fired or lying through their teeth 🤣

But you're taking 2 and 2 and getting 167...

[spark acorn]

What are you talking about? Where do you get that from anything i posted. Lmao i was pointing out scopelys business model. Thats it. Said my piece not gonna be baited outta context. Why arguing with me for slighting scopely? Pyschology at work. Akin to stockholm sydrome. Funny jkjk. Yeah 20 years ago ppl were labeled as cultists and conspiracy theorist for beliving in aliens, yet now govs all over admitting and actively searching for em. But drink more coolaide. Lmao

[midnight pilot]

What I don't get.
A supposed handler helps you setup roe.

You out him
But as a server you cannot change things?.

Roe is dynamic each month it changes to some degree until it's agreed on.

Yes they gave you the tools but it's up to you to change things based on your server dynamics.

Generally watchers don't interact at all and are just lvl 1 bases which never get archived.

[crude sandal]

scopely employees who play are too busy hiding who they are and keeping a low profile, they're not allowed to grant themselves stuff, and if anyone for example knew which server and player Eco was, I think he'd be hunted relentlessly 🤣

[crude sandal]

Scopely handlers aren't a thing... doubly so on new servers which haven't got obvious 'vips' yet 🤣

[sharp yarrow]

there goes another 2

[robust knoll]

The VIP point is the slam-dunk in all of this. Scopely doesn't care abt new servers bc they're not dropping enough $ yet 😄

[spark acorn]

Falsity upon falsity. Think players wealthy before they play STFC or somehow all hit the lotto once they join? And handlers are definately a thing. You premise is derived from what you "assume" is how a whale spends or when or on what. Lmao

[midnight pilot]

The only people I know have joined new servers to help them are content creators and they don't hide.... Who they are... And offer advice, abd don't get involved in pitics... They haven't the time playing on multiple accounts. .

And tbh the prices on new servers are higher than old servers.

Ie you get less for same spend.

Newer servers are scopely bread and butter

[crude sandal]

nah, it comes from spending time chatting to the perversely wealthy whales I've been in alliances with over the last 4 years, and employees and other volunteers for the last year... you been here 4 months and making assumptions is hilarious 🤣

[woven sonnet]

You quit, so go away

[crude sandal]

I appreciate the avatar 🤣

[spark acorn]

Why would you know? We didnt till they made a mistake and answered a vip from wrong account. Rofl. And our roe has evolved. Whats your point? My point was "any and all roe starts conflict" because it "appears" to orginate from players and that they dont like. So can be the best or worst roe doesnt matter it works to scopelys advantage. And fyi i follow our roe so not bashing anyones versions of it. But if yall aint catching the point then its moot anyhow. Ive been on stfc offical for maybe that time idk but been playing in an alliance with friend who are some of the biggest whales. I know what im saying i ve seen the convos with vips and scopely so whatevs. Defend them then complain about em lol. So unintelligent that your basing game time off of the time i joined discord stfc official. Sad.... Ops 45 comm in #2 allaince on one of the top servers. You so clever at hunting useless info. Go find me on stfc. Server 90 7-1 incursions

[midnight pilot]

Let's see 4month old player should be around ops 39 so all the main elements of the game are just opening,
Ops 30 to 39 is prime whale development with highest cost benefit for gameplay.
If you've not spent to this point.
You never will because at this point your events pay more than packs

[crude sandal]

Oh, which server is that? 😄

[finite mural]

Insulting a mod, bold move.

[spark acorn]

Mod doesnt equal all knowing. Should check their info before posting nonsense. And making false statements about me based of that uselesss info they used to sound informed is whats insulting

[midnight pilot]

Ops 53 server 164 lowly peon no power no stress. Only couple years playing totally ftp not even got scopely id.

And yet do you see me bashing the events... Quite a lot time actually, but mods bah did that once... Couldn't speak for a month.

But yeah you think what you want to think.

Rank 2 alliance, commander with no influence on roe... Or server.
You realise most admirals are just the person who gets all the love notes... Cis noone really cares

[spark acorn]

Who is bashing any events? I love the new pvp. You can see my posts in other channels to cconfirm not anyway related to what i posted here except to again to counter an assumption. And im no spender really, 2 effciency primes and monthly bp. I also never said i was admiral. Lol so umm ..... To all that and no one alliance on our server dictates roe, our senators ( 1 each alliance) votes on any new changes. So ummmm again

[midnight pilot]

You've spent past hour arguing on here trying to prove a useless lie.
That has 0 to do with game.
Seems that 1hr could've been better spent, you know talking in pms with other alliance comes and leaders trying to sort stuff out...

But I guess priorities.

Or you one of those lowly 45s on a legacy server who get their free ride up and then moan when players playing longer make decisions you don't like.

Go make your own alliance you seem to think it's easy right

You realise comms or any role within an alliance don't give you anymore power over anybody right.

We all decide what's best for us... You don't get a say what best for me

[swift steppe]

What is with these people and pips?? Is it REALLY that hard??

[spark acorn]

Wow ok so idk where any of what i said can be inferred from your post. I bashed scopely and somehow i dictate your game? Seriously.
Man they got awesome teams at work on yall. The pyschology at work here is astounding. I chat here cause i like debate, and i know ill get it, but sometimes ppl off they rockers. Like mods trying to make themselves relevant in a convo and actually just made the convo worse with their good intentions. Provable falsitys like the one they posted would make most pause reevaluate and approach again with a different tack. Not them , they doubled down.

[bright grail]

I don't get the "don't dare say anything bad about/to a Mod" rule. It's BS.

They're supposed to be here to HELP, but I've seen Mods be condescending, dismissive, abusive, and insulting. When they do such things, they SHOULD be called out, with NO repercussions.

[spark acorn]

And the fact that they jumped in and atttempted to disprove my claim which i stand by with this " only ppl i know are content creators and they are helpful on new servers" comment means they believe just becasue they the all powerful mod hasnt seen what im professing so therefore your wrong and it cant possibly exist is a completely bs and unitelligent counter

[midnight pilot]

Umm I said that and where is my mod tag ie. Red name.. Looks around.... No please don't want it....
Maybe you need to actually look mind you you might be colour blind... So maybe you can't see red

[spark acorn]

Then i owe the apology to the Mod im truly sry. But you then that point is now refferenced xD. And no just missed it with the scrolling chat. It happens. Not afraid to admit a mistake . And my initial statement way up top there somewhere had and has "everything to do with this game. You can disagree with its premise but your acccusation that what i said has zero to do with the game is false. Liked or not doesnt matter.

[midnight pilot]

@crude sandal
That I'd love to see lol you being apologised to.

[spark acorn]

Apology rescinded. I just scrolled up, the mod did make false statements based on assuming that my timestamp for joining stfc official on discord in some way also determined how long ive playerd the game. So no , no apology for that is warranted.

[icy patio]

they mis-tied an id for the menu, when you click on exocomp store you get the alliance store, how many available items to buy you have there? Someone forgot to update an ID for a tab when they added more tabs to game and now it's referencing an incorrect tab's available buys

[grave pumice]

Can I start a petition to fire the employee that thought it was a good idea to add "view" buttons to the faction tabs favors and collection items? This is the most PAINFUL addition I have ever had to deal with. No longer can I look across and see what researches I can afford. I have to click through 30 favors to find out.

[slate orbit]

the view button change was a unintended result of the patch.. they have stated previously its going to remediated back to what it was but when that patch will drop is unknown at this time.. maybe one of the next tue tuesday resets if we are lucky.

[bright grail]

How is it “unintended”? It takes coding to remove and replace functionality.

[winter timber]

who can undestand this?

[grave pumice]

it means now you can not only see their base, you can also see how much time is left on their shield.

[slate orbit]

its called bad quality assurance testing.. lol this is why they need a testing and validation server with actual players not maxed out demo accounts on it.

[winter timber]

Oki, i see that, and now how can astrometric sensor increase the cargo? i mean technically now

[grave wagon]

https://tenor.com/view/totally-illogical-spock-star-trek-illogical-gif-16721991

[slate orbit]

its a new skin (think of it as a shipyard refit) your adding a whole new deck to the voyager.. extra cargo level. 🤣

[winter timber]

its like : we dont know what to write there. Write anything you want. It has to be prime, it costs money, and the time of shield is not worth of 100EUR, we have to add something. What about cargo?! Oh yeah, thats amazing idea! But it doesn't make any sense! who cares? I really f hate this laziness of game creators ...

[south rampart]

I still stand by my statement. I don't expect to be notified when/if they do come back in the future.

[sharp yarrow]

I'm not saying that it is impossible that they might return but in my experience once they let their teammates drain them they are done. i hope they come back and i am trying to get people to hold off before leaving to see if they adjust this event somehow. i will let you know if and when any of the 8 that have now quit decide to come back

[jade patio]

Well, they had this secret deck they didn’t know about, and they found it with the astrometric sensor….. (sarcasm, of course)

[south rampart]

I've left the game in times past. This is my 4th server overall. I usually just start completely over, though. That's also a possibility.

[slate orbit]

you mean like this klingons leave accords go kill gorn.

[winter timber]

this would klingons never do. Im still wondering why i play this 😄

[sharp yarrow]

tbh i would never do that after the time energy and money I've invested into this game if i ever get to the point that i quit i would never install it on my devises again lol .

[winter timber]

and its almost 3 times of previous cargo 😄 they didnt know about that. Maybe they should really destroy their internal sensors, its worthless. At the beginning of the game they tried, that the things made a sense a bit in the star trek world we know.

[south rampart]

Sometimes it's nice. Having knowledge of what's to come to prepare way ahead of time. Having an early edge at any point in this game is a huge benefit.

[jade patio]

I wish they would “find” a couple cargo decks on the Stella. Every time there is a Stella event I have to run it home a half dozen times to dump cargo after it fills up.

[sacred garden]

This must be the biggest freaken joke of in the game . Targets say very easy yet I can’t beat them this is outrageous scopley your math sucks rocks

[winter timber]

the crew you have is not good enough, cpt Janeway, E-Data, ...

[silk charm]

the "easy/difficult" indicators are just comparisons of power as best as I can tell, ship abilities, crew, and so on aren't factored in. In this case crewing is hugely significant

[finite mural]

They're immune to regular damage, you must have iso damage. Ent e picard, ent e data, janeway are the only 3 officers for that. And below deck, neelix for battleships, torres for interceptors and kim for explorers to trigger the iso damage from artifacts.

[sacred garden]

Don’t have ent e crew or janeway

[finite mural]

Then you're not going to kill them

[fluid crystal]

without iso dmg its not happening... only other option is neelix below decks and you have the right artifacts (can't remember the names as there are too many of them) then you'd get some iso dmg going and possibly take it out (not likely without the officers mentioned).

[finite mural]

Captain proton's blaster for morale on an explorer, vidiian honatta organ harvest for burning on a battleship, blade of tkon for hull breach on an interceptor, also there's picard's ressikin flute, borg queen's remains, riker's trombone to increase iso damage against battleships, kataan telescope for iso damage against interceptors, king m'benga's crown for iso damage against explorers.

[crimson lotus]

Hi there, just a unfriendly reminder your pvp mechanic sucks and if it's not changed soon most of us are going to quit.

[verbal pulsar]

Why haven't there been any Monthly Reward Packs for the last 3 months?

[dim hemlock]

@sacred garden @sacred garden @sacred garden

Gorn crew

[lime socket]

There’s also the fc Sloan skill for iso damage vs hostiles, monaveen research, and the new war room. You can also just use burning above decks, doesn’t have to be Neelix, who isn’t going to be better unless maxed.

[slate bloom]

The new war room.

It’s described as a sort of “fight club.”

At the moment you can get points by shooting anyone. It’s like a boxer winning the competition by going to the local primary school and knocking out all the 6 year olds.

In a real competition you only fight those who also wish to take part.

So, when it starts you should be able to select to join in. Once you join you are in for the event duration.

If you do not join in it does not stop you being attacked, it just means your attacker gets no points for the PVP event. Blow an OPC miner up? You get the cargo, as normal, but NO POINTS.

In order to win you have to engage fellow competitors, not the bystanders.

Just my thoughts.

[olive oar]

<@&509690795536941056> ticketed events today! i sure can use the gas, so how bout i spend some tickets and kill some exchange hostiles! ope, nope, a freshly empowered server bully you've refused to do anything about for 4 years is wiping out every warship in exchange space, and being rewarded for it. awesome, thanks.

[lament siren]

Wasn’t a fan of PvP when it started - less so now. Not sure why there are not limits placed on whom can engage with whom- not much chance being able to do much with a player 12 or more levels higher. But with all the BS that never gets fixed might just be time to move along

[fervent orchid]

Have to echo the comments about why they would get rid of the coloured triangles on armadas.

[solemn forum]

New one? 😲

[ebon slate]

Had two players in my alliance step back from the game since this PvP event launched. People can't even do their dailies or leave a ship to auto-level in outlaw space anymore. This is going to happen permanently because they'll always use the excuse of 'levelling the war chest' so not just whilst the event is on.

[bright grail]

The silence from TPTB at Scopely re: the PvP debacle is deafening.

[languid shard]

Yeah, and mod here suddenly goes on "vacation" for two weeks

[bright grail]

TBH, he probably had it scheduled weeks or months in advance, so, that's not an issue.

The lack of appearance of ANY OTHER CM certainly is......

[tight carbon]

There's other community managers? Like Eco who I thought stepped down. No one else shows up.

[drifting fulcrum]

It's their way of killing off the game, they are running out of ideas for content and arcs, my best advice is save your money, cause the game will die quicker now. I mean anyone spending vast sums of cash on imaginary pixels needs to govern their head a wobble anyway!

[slate orbit]

if they would just slow down there are new star trek movies and series coming and they haven't touched the original Trek animated series.. lots of ideas.. but your right they appear to be purposely destroying the fun of the game for a large portion of the players just from what you see here this week. remember only approx. 10 to 15% voice their opinions the others just leave........

[bright grail]

I've spent a grand total of about $200 on this game since I started 4 years ago.

I haven't spent a dime in over a year.

I'm not crippled by the Sunk Cost Fallacy.

[cold yoke]

Hey scopely (doubt they read this but if a mod wants to pass along) if you want to encourage PvP and not tick people off do something like a new "wave". Joined system, 2 ten man groups, attack each others bases which don't damage back

[manic sapphire]

I just look at it as I was paying a subscription fee

[thick whale]

Yeah, that was the update before this arc 😦

the number of items is definitely the number from the exocomp store, but just annoying it shows permanently since the update for this arc

[languid shard]

Yes, if it was an actual planned vacation. But it's also likely he was pulled because he was talking with us.

[languid shard]

Did you mean to say this out loud?

[half yew]

Wrong server, I thought I was in the alliance server for the game ooops

[rough belfry]

@tacit obsidian that is unacceptable. The war chest needs to run continuously in order to get the seals needed to do the research. I want to get some of the research done this year which will not be possible if the war chest doesn't run continuously

[stark lintel]

@tacit obsidian That is absolutely insane planning on the War Room. It was already going to take 30 years to max it if it ran every week and you claim 2 chests a week. Now it’s going to take twice that long? WHO PLANS THIS STUFF?

[obsidian knot]

I am suprised how a few maen could ruined a game. This pvp event has done so much damage. I hope schope💩 is happy when only 10% of the players stays in this game.

[unkempt roost]

Nobody deliberately kills off a cash cow. Bad decisions can always be justified by game developers who bribe players to make everything they do look like a success. They will do a 180 when it starts affecting cash flow not before and that data is a lagging indicator.

[bronze igloo]

Okay while I think the pvp events could have been handled better players have to remember there is a give and take. Yes, pvp bands are wide but it also helps lower players in our alliances. Stations that would take them many hits are a one shot crack for larger ships. How many currently complaining about pvp have been on the receiving end of help like that?

[tired heart]

Why did they remove the ability to see our current amount of Xindi Scaps in the Xindi Scrap Exchange?

[slate orbit]

WIDE after 42 they are non-existent... go look at pvp target..... a 70 can hit all the way to 43.. that's not wide that's non-existant.... after 43 there are zero bands.

[pine hare]

@tacit obsidian

So, that means, we can get only 4 Seals of Ko'tal per month, right?
Therefore we will need 25 freaking months to do just first level of Tactical Warmonger research?!

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

[bronze igloo]

I know I am 53 and can hit down to 35. I can also be hit by levels not even in the game yet lol.

[echo mirage]

Boycott this arc.

Hi, your new war room PvP mechanic sucks!, change it or we quit

[wary citrus]

<@&509690795536941056> I dont under stand this chart what does at ops lvl mean???? your chart should be Ops lvl 57 plus war room level 7 you get this... Who ever did this chart needs to explain better, use words.... or get fired

[elder pollen]

Congratulations! Now the War Room truly is confusing!

[true zealot]

I did notice the quantity vs the quality tho

[pearl verge]

#⭐-official-announcements message Well, seems we are getting more and more "banana events and products" from Scopley... - These only "ripen at the customer's premises" after being introduced and/or sold. 👀

[fluid crystal]

At Ops + War Room Level 56 is it we add ops level and warm room level and if it adds up to 56 that gives you those resources ? its beyond confusing

[vale wasp]

The warroom contents are dependent on both ops level and warroom level.
That snippet is showing the contents for an ops 56 player with warroom level 56. (No one is probably even close to that warroom level).

[bright grail]

Because the credit card charge hasn’t processed yet?

[vale wasp]

It's a forward-looking document for players to see how valuable it would be down the road. Or sooner, if they spend.

[worn tundra]

As the game is going, my friend, i doubt that anyone will get that higher ever.....probably game will announce its final season too !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[versed furnace]

well folks, after 4.5 years and too many thousands of dollars, this arc has convinced me to quit. The game will soon die and I can spend my money where I will have more fun. The only reason I stayed so long was because I love Star Trek, but Scopely has ruined what was once a proud heritage. I remain a Star Trek fan, but will not attend the funeral of Scopely.

[fluid crystal]

So its pretty darn lame even for someone hwo'd have spent on a ton of packs to get it to that l56 + l56 level shown there...

[vale wasp]

As a 57, looking at that data, I'd say the pars/dil is weak, trit strong, mats are minor, and parts irrelevant.
However, I saw the 51 chart has access to rare mats already. At twice a month, it seems viably supplemental for a mat rarity that's a bit hard to get then.

[potent peak]

Get rid of the war room. There are people threatening to quit due to it. We can’t do anything without douche bags blowing us up that are 100m bigger than us. Like wtf are yall thinking. Yall want everyone to pay to play, that’s the only way to get big enough to defend yourself or get big enough nobody can touch you.

[spark acorn]

I love the war room. Make more

[chrome vortex]

Simple question, if Scopley is focused on revenue and player satisfaction then why fly people from US to Europe for meetings? Why not have a zoom collaboration and put that money into the game?

[echo basin]

Can you PLEASE revert the faction store menu change? Everything is one tap/click further away now and you can't see the cost of single-pull-only items.

[finite mural]

It's not intentional and will be fixed, no eta

[opaque hill]

I wish they would have introduced a real diplomacy system for the war room. Make "declaring war" with actually mean something and have real in-game costs/benefits. You could have "global pvp" but still contained to specific alliances hunting each other. Have some type of "loyalty/honor" system and scale down the points for alliances that change loyalties rapidly or just declare war on everyone.

[fluid crystal]

At some point you do realize that the game is being made so folks can pay in some way for it to continue to be worked on right ? Those that pay the most are the ones scopely will cater to as the f2p bring them nothing but cannon fodder for the bigger ones to blow up.

[last nest]

lol no ones picking this up after its dead, they are shutting it down once revenue is down or it will be a russian player only game like their walking dead game

[jaunty prism]

Ugh the videos are back! Stop! I don't want to watch your videos, stop replacing the alliance help button!

[fair jolt]

Sadly, I agree 100%. Our Server is loosing players everyday since arcfall due to Scopleys inability to regulate trough their rewards system. 90% do not want to take part in the flawed pvp aspects of this game, but experience the "Purge" now, because Scopley won't put a "kill an empty miner = loose all points"-metric in

[pale garnet]

you have serious problems with your Q's, my franklin-a and crew can kill a max swarm hostile, but thw max in Q's trials, which is about 10m smaller , keeps failing, these swarm should not be in stage 2 as all previous swarm never got anywhere near that size, you are totally cheating this game

[flint spruce]

That used to be 500 - quantity instead of quality

[slender monolith]

It was 500 once, to correct a mistake with the event, otherwise it has always needed 900, 9 complete ticket events.

[flint spruce]

Yes, the number has been increased from 500 to 900. The milestones in between are also gone

[median owl]

your moderates are in red are they an enemy ???

not funny , is true

ty

[kind star]

When will the silents disappear from the q-trails? It was announced and promised! <@&509691205798592532>

[finite mural]

You'll have to have support reset it for you. It's fixed but it didn't clear the existing ones. Provide that screenshot with support and they'll be able to get rid of it

[slender monolith]

The number to get the 10 rare tickets was always 900, you had to complete all 9 ticket events to get them.

[quaint haven]

Not just that, they claimed to have already fixed it months ago

[cyan arch]

As much as I like galaxy-wide PvP, once again, because of Scopely's broken game/event mechanics sucked the fun out of it. Instead of really trying and having fun, most alliances are booting each other. Once one side starts, others have to do the same to win the event.
People are grouped in their territories, killing each other's Realtas.
Where is the fun in that? There's no real fight going on, which means no fun. Once again, it's a win-trade event. I really dislike the mining colony mentality, yet this is even worse.

I support galaxy-wide PvP events way better than mining. However, there should be proper conditions. For example:

• If you kill a hostile player, you should earn 1000 points, but that alliance should be marked for at least a week, not just for the event, after the event has started.
• Killing unmarked, friendly, ally players 10 points
• You can't score by killing the same player within N minutes.

[frigid tusk]

Is it right we have a merge soon on server 67 ???

[thick owl]

This many days was too long for the first/test run and possibly altogether for a pvp event. That's on top of all the other feedback for how bad it is.

[heady cedar]

this forced pvp stuff is hurting smaller players and stunting growth of basically everyone. we have so many people who are just not logging on, thinking of quitting, have already quit. if you want a pvp arc thats fine but it should have been more thought out to avoid issues where people 10-20+ levels higher than someone could just hit whoever they want whenever and wherever. its not conducive to growth, nor does it motivate people to spend money on the game, it makes them want to quit.

[eager cape]

@scopley when can we expect normal time schedule again? I’m old man and need to go bed at least 5 minutes past midnight. Huh!

[unkempt roost]

It's always a win trade event and will remain so until a proper pvp system is implemented. Even incursions work that way because most people don't have all day to go around looking for people to grief. The fact that to do our daily tasks requires crews that will lose every time to the same ship of the same power with a pvp crew means the fantasy world of "fun" "pvp" doesn't exist in this game. Don't pretend it does unless you only seek out and attack other players with pvp crews. Otherwise you are just upset because other people have the good sense to do it all in one sitting with a friend and not waste time pretending griefing other players is "fun pvp".

[kind star]

Thx, hope it will work. Scopely and support are in the same relationship as scopely and quality.

[robust knoll]

It wasn’t fixed. New ones pop up regularly

[river tangle]

Scopely are too stupid/only care about the money to do anything right. This pvp arc is a prime example.
For the pve players it's ruined their game, they can no longer play without being hit.
For the pvp players it's degenerated to kill trading and gaming the system to win.

I'm sure at Scopely HQ this even will be hailed as a success when they count the rage spend that has happend this week. Then next month they wonder why revenue is down because they annyoyed more than have the playerbase.

pvp has to be an opt in, or time limited. Set the rules right, the rewards high enough and you will have a decent portion of the players wanting to engage and wanting to spend.
The rest can ignore and carry on the farmville style. And I'm not saying 1 is better then the other.

[tropic cipher]

I've had it. Logging in and finishing the new missions...using a miner to keep my bp low. Going to uninstall this from my tablet (it eats over 12MB and I have to uninstall other apps if I need to update it). Will keep on my phone just to collect and sometimes do dailies. II have zero nil zilch interest in a pvp game. Once upon a time, this was a decent gaming experience. Now, just doing the housekeeping (opening a zillion chests) takes an hour. NO THANK YOU SCOPELY.

[swift sphinx]

The 12Gb size is bloat from bad coding on updates.
If you did a delete of the app, powered off the tablet, then reinstalled it after powering back on it would be back under 3Gb

[tropic cipher]

Ty, but this game isn't any fun any more anyway. Screw it. Will just pop in daily on my phone.

[molten shell]

Thank you scoplely for adding 2 more clicks to opening daily chests. The time you’ve removed from my life really adds up.

I was hoping you’d adopt the “known value for known cost” model you previously used for chests like this and expand it to other buttons to save me time, but you really want me clicking in this game as long as possible.

[cobalt pelican]

What happen to The wave passes are they coming Back?

[slender monolith]

Presumably with the Waves later this month

[frosty ginkgo]

View button replacing actual cost is horrible 😫

[finite mural]

Will be fixed, no eta

[tropic crown]

Like a lot of people said the kill trade thing sucks. Why try when someone can kill trade their way right past you.

[tepid bramble]

Why try when that generally involves ticking folks off? Just find a friend and play whack a mole till you finish you objectives or run out patience whichever comes first? Because screw this forced PvP trying to make “Fetch” happen psyop bs.

[hollow ore]

So Scopely broke the game to favor big spenders. And left a lot of the medium sized folks completely exposed. My 11m ship gets killed by a 247m ship? You’ve taken any motivation for me to pony up for anything. Then they added incursions. Two days which screw up my game experience, or I just put the game on hold. Now PvP all the time…. Well, I’m practically done. I’ve put a lot of time in getting here. And some $. Made some friends, which is really what keeps me online at this point. But unless there are some serious repairs to this experience, I can’t continue.

[vital sequoia]

Is the Galaxy-Wide PvP nightmare over yet?

[finite mural]

war room event is still running

[crystal furnace]

Yes. Hallelujah

[hollow plover]

do we have to wait for autuum till events are synced again?

[vale wasp]

The bigger alliances should have finished the warroom, and the ALB is over. If the "whales" are still hitting you, it's not because of an event.

[lyric saddle]

where is the cosmic cleanup event supposed to be on saturday

[vale wasp]

Probably coming second reset.

[languid shard]

Problem is even with the event over the war room is still there. The bullying won't stop

[cosmic knoll]

1 star stfc, then install monopolyGO and 1 star that before uninstalling it. once theres enough 1 stars they might start thinking about changing their attitudes lol

[lyric saddle]

should be coming at the same time as the store resets, makes no sense to have a desync in the store release and the event release.

[vale wasp]

If the bullying hasn't stopped, it's not because of the warroom. The blame should probably be placed on the player being unfriendly, and looking for any excuse to attack you.

[languid shard]

I think you miss the point of the war room

[vale wasp]

Whales have finished it, it's full, the rewards are claimed. Why do you think the warroom affects an inclination toward pvp today?

[somber orchid]

The event probably will do that not the room , there’s probably a lot of bitterness to some alliances

[unkempt roost]

Because some people, like the kind of people who camp mission spots, will take any and all opportunities to "pvp" that lets them dodge the social consequences due to a "pvp" event loophole whether they are finished or not.

[vital sequoia]

Because PvP Trolls (Not all PvP players are trolls) are happy to use the existence of the war room to bully PvE players, especially ones who have no chance of defeating them.

[vale wasp]

I like how they managed to convince you that they're completely blameless, and the only one to take to task is Scopely.

[finite mural]

I'd say it's 50/50, scopely opened the can in the first place, they just took advantage of it, heh.

[vale wasp]

50/50 is a start, but at this point, the event's over and almost all of the whales will have finished their warroom. I'd start shifting more blame to the bully as time goes on.

[modern crane]

I think the big part being missed here is that Scopley wants pvp chaos all the time for their bottom line. First it was incursions being planned to run weekly and now it is an entire arc (or two?) based only on pvp. It's hard for servers/groups to discuss and figure out player friendly methods when the creators of the game keep pushing the game in the opposite direction.

Sure there are some players that purposely troll and grief people. That is on them. But it doesn't help that Scopley is enabling and encouraging these players and continues to do so.

[true zealot]

Pvp burns resources...resources drive upgrades and spending.

[clever orbit]

This arc has been final straw for a lot of players that I know. A lot are quitting, or becoming less active. Those f2p/dolphins who are approaching mid 50s are seeing progress slow to where there is no short term goals to set their sights on, each building is like an ops level. More grinds every month, every new grind brings the question from them "is it worth it anymore?". Now this month makes every grind harder, because these lower ops levels are now a target when they are doing these grinds. Spending might be up, I don't know, but whales won't spend if there are no f2p/dolphins, because the game will be dead.

[somber orchid]

I’m sure the whales still like people to speak to won’t be any left

[slate orbit]

Sorry cand1e, the blame is on scopely, just like schools get blamed for allowing bulling. Scopley created and encouraged the no consequence bulling and set it up so if the bullies are the top spenders on the server there are never consequences. Scopley is the game authority they define the ingame rules they are responsible. As plenty of players say roe is a player agreement. But players , whole alliances don't have to participate cause there are no rules against it. Its equivalent to a school saying enter the building if your parents donate enough abuse you costudents its OK you paid for the right to be mean and abusive to others.

[south rampart]

Token space is protected on my server, anomaly samples only for Voyager. Even though it appears you were OPC.

[woeful nymph]

Probably time to change that diplomacy status from civil. RIP Ore

[quasi wren]

Why why why

[analog nebula]

Allowing a lvl 60 to hit 20 lvl’s below it is ludicrous. That is all Scopely pacifying big spenders. Example is A lvl 45 has zero chance against a lvl 60. And now I am sure lvl 70 will be doing the same. Shame Scopely.

[wooden spire]

This arc has made events impossible, and grinds even more of a grind, and so I’ve stayed out of game and my progress has stopped. I’m not missing the game really, it’s a chore, stressful.

The whales claimed Scopely should be blamed for creating the event which encourages the whales to hit 20 levels lower and camp at mission spots and event systems.

Ok. So Scopely enabled it, let’s side with the whales on this… Scopely also enabled anyone destroying any type of ship that they’re able to, even miners mining 😉

For those who have had enough of the game, instead of quitting, if you were to ignore RoE which is nothing to do with Scopely, and simply do what the whales are doing this arc and do what Scopely has enabled you to do (which is blow up anything within your means), perhaps the whales would begin to understand what “double standards” means.

After all, they want PvP, don’t they?

[last nest]

they always made slbs only top 2 winning officers or anything worth while for 5 years then expect people to want to pvp this was inevitable

[sacred garden]

This is laughable for to do one you need the other and to do that one you need to have r&d at a higher lvl then what the other says you need quite laughable since one says r&d lvl 45 yet you need the other one which says r&d lvl 47 what a joke.lol

[cyan arch]

apart from opt-in I agreed.
rewards are the driving force, they should give really good stuff to encourage ppl.

[oblique relic]

So... since the Hirogen Elites are marked as Delta Quadrant on their own sectors, why on earth aren't the Hirogens in the 'Lost' sectors where they are mingled? They aren't suddenly different.. and I doubt anyone cares if they are an easy kill for Voyager... but we'd probably all like some consistency? But I'm guessing that is a problem with all the other mistakes you make with these new arcs?

[fallow widget]

if i have 10mil rep w/ a faction, can i farm the ships that drop the ops 42 G4 BPs and get the blueprints? so far i havn't found any.

[slate orbit]

Chapster you discussion has weight right up till your point where the lower levels 40-45 who are getting nuked by 60-67 cant even get to the deep space systems they mine in till they get the reasearchs to expand warp that require level 48 or higher. Hmm ok. So you can hit back in territory or g4 systems, yea.. oh those miners are 30 mil power more than you max ship.. yea your argument makes so much sense.

[slender monolith]

the G4 uncommon BPs, along with the G4 surveys and rares, drop in the capital systems, unless you can venture into dark space

[fallow widget]

yeah, i have a max'd D4 and enterprise and can farm pretty easily up to their warp range which does include level 44+. The capital transports are relatively difficult for me to kill, though they are a goal of mine.

[wooden spire]

I seem to have upset you. Not all the whales will be gettable, but some. No need to be salty if you think I’m wrong. That petty sarcasm makes you as emotionally undeveloped as the whales. Be better.

[slender monolith]

Try Beverly Crusher, Khan, Harcourt Fenton Mudd against them

[slate orbit]

Nope not upset at all, just making sure you understand you provided option carrys little or no weight in most of the situations people have been gripping about since Tuesday. Ps I didn't toss any insults or personally attacks you went there really fast. That does infere a lot.

[dusty token]

Why what? The cost goes up as you level reputation. Looks like you locked fed at 1B. I am at 3B ish and 1 chest is now 3k messages.

[quasi wren]

the clicks. before update it displayed the cost and amount you get. after update you have to click to open another screen then click the spend button then click collect. and this is not the only tab they did it to. They did it to ALL the faction tabs. Like i need another step to collect the single shard for the automated defense refit.

[dusty token]

Yeah, I know. It is super irritating and I saw Rev scaled it up to be fixed

[robust knoll]

Hirogen Elites do not respect borders.

[wooden spire]

No need to make sure of anything. Accept or discard, I don’t care either way. Only you do.

[charred cosmos]

Are capital ones the ones in Sol? If so I can kill dozens of the regular ones with t4 ent so a max one should wipe the floor with them. (Using PMC) , and I can kill like 10 of the heavy ones with pike tal nero , if not talking about those then disregard this 😆

[fallow widget]

then i clearly was doing something terribly wrong. i could kill one, but not two. but so far just now i've been told to use Bev / Khan/ Mudd or Pike/Tal/Nero. PMC for me, the capital + heavy transports kill me

[solemn forum]

Come one, you put me in the scan screen for it, let me do combat against the galaxy!

[vale wasp]

Heavy transports use only kinetic weaponry, PMC is an anti-energy weapon hostile crew. You shouldn't be using it to target heavies. PMTlann is better for heavies, PMC you use against non-heavy captial traders.

[fallow widget]

yeah, i used pmt, hopefully i can switch to Cath, just a few more shards til he is better than tlaan.

[vale wasp]

Pike Cath Tlann + Paris is a stronger anti-kinetic crew for you right now.

[fallow widget]

oh, i never thought to use cath and tlaan.. doh..

[charred cosmos]

Would pike tlann Chen work for attacking both ? 👀

[vale wasp]

They are very specialized hostiles into only one weapon type. You're better off bringing two ships, one PMC and the other PBT and making the most of your officer abilities.

[fallow widget]

so i was literally speccing for heavy's and killing non-heavies. oh sheesh

[wise kelp]

Please make mission notification collapsible. Trying to do waves like this with popups blocking is a nightmare

[languid shard]

You can turn that off in settings.

[pure edge]

Can we actually fix the Brackets for the weekend and Mining monday SLB's. 50's can't compete with 60's players.

[tulip fossil]

never gonna happen, certainly not over the weekend

[wise kelp]

I have “mission reminders on login” set to off in settings, but this doesn’t seem to impact the bar there. Is there another place? I have it set to off in all devices I use

[tropic crown]

I don’t think Scopley even has anyone working on the weekend. That said they don’t care even when they are working.

[tulip fossil]

kinda what i meant 🤣👍🏻

[summer thicket]

Now would be a good time to add Una to the mantis refinery

[weary burrow]

I hate this change so much

[weary burrow]

This is Not a good change. LESS clicks not more clicks.

[narrow hornet]

Yes, please revert this change that cost double time every day, it already was enough time we need to spend opening all the boxes

[finite mural]

Wasn't intended and will be fixed, no eta.

[glacial spruce]

There are a lot of things that got "accidentally broken" over the years that are "slated to be fixed". Several of them have been that way for 5 years now. Remember it was just a few weeks ago the event reset times were going to be fixed when the EU went to DST? How's that working out? ... just saying.

[grave star]

In an explorer try using snw Spock as captain, georgiou, and tal on bridge, you can hit both sets of heavy miners with 1 crew, also works well with ex Borg ,but for them you need to hit the correct hostile for the ship your flying( battle triangle) if you use interceptor swap snw Spock for the correct snw officer , and same for battleships,

[bold mirage]

I use snw pike, snw hemmer, snw spock - works like a dream. And they are pretty easy to get through the mantis refinery, just remember to do the daily stings every other day ( to hit both tiers of the daily)

[tropic crown]

@tidal notch gee thanks Scopley we just had another player quit because of the War Room update!

[tight carbon]

As long as whales spend, scopely doesn't care.

[sturdy nymph]

API? When?

[lucid socket]

Why be bothered by the war room? Honestly the majority of points comes from opc lat, iso, gas, ore and crystal. Anything else is a waste of time trying to score. Sure theres a few players who have not quite figured that out but as soon as everyone gets the memo thing will calm down. Heck you may even find that things are even easier on you when everyone gets on the same page, after all you gotta let that miner fill its protected before it goes opc...

[grave quest]

NX01 needs some loving from scopely. At nearly T6 and lvl 10 of all the nx01 specific favors, it is still way too weak. There are way too many T5 nx01s still forced to grind the lvl 40 systems because they can get more loot there than higher systems. honestly, it’s likely the worst ship in the game aside from franklin which couldn’t kill anything.

[tropic crown]

Truth

[kind minnow]

no worries next week the other pvp event will be here again

[tropic crown]

Based on the series that ship is way over powered already but I get what you’re saying.

[somber orchid]

Inky got to fly around and see the dead bases and only getting worse

[sacred garden]

It’s funny historically in the Star Trek universe archer’s enterprise the nx01 is older then Kirk’s enterprise, yet here in this game archers is far superior to Kirk’s lol think someone forgot to readjust Kirk’s enterprise points when they did archer’s lol

[limber mesa]

numbers are deceptive.
NX-01's polarized hull plating barely counts as shielding, while the 1701 has regenerative shielding.
so the NX-01 is a lot more vulnerable than it seems, while the 1701 is a lot more resilient.

[sacred garden]

For supposedly fixing performance issues it’s still like trying to get a 1 leggged buffalo to stampede

[tired heart]

Why cant we preview any of our pulls on cooldown in the faction store anymore? That was so useful to see how much currency we had for the next pull. This was a horrible horible change. I hope it was a mistake. You cant expect people to scroll through literally hundreds of items in the others tab to check how many they have for their next faction pull

@tidal notch Do we have confirmation that removing previews was a bug?

[molten iris]

FIX THE BRACKETS. - no one has any hope of winning Epic shards with this. g6 mats versus g4/5 mats - like really…..

[fossil sable]

For the various cool-down items like the epic, rare, and uncommon armada packs in the Alliance store, it’d be nice if we could still click on them to see what we already have in inventory.

[bronze igloo]

I have the same issue I am not even spending my mats really just staying where I get something out of it

[fluid mist]

they'll never fix it just like they wont fix pvp range they'd lose too many spenders if they had them only competing against other spenders

[haughty oxide]

Fix cloak. It’s not a cloak if you show up as a green triangle to everyone

[tulip fossil]

well i am getting a little niffed with this Voyager refit mess...ticket closed after being told it would be kept open, no news...£99 spent...better be a good comp chest

i jest, no such thing as a good comp chest

no eta, but it will be fixed

[slender monolith]

It’s the torpedoes with the gaseous anomaly sensors in that you have to watch for

[errant brook]

The current focus towards more poorly balanced PVP with lower rewards in events and the battle pass leads to a game without fun for many players. I bet the statistics will reflect that too. Without casual players and a motivated community, the game will collapse

[spiral tartan]

It's a UX degredation and as such is a bug. It's not an oversight, it was deliberate. Someone put on their consistency hat and went haywire with it, like a junior dev in a new codebase. Lost functionality in the process: having an overview of what to farm (especially for Rogue and Augment) in one glance instead of a gazillion (feels like) clicks.
Gained: nothing. Still not fixed besides code being touched: the randomness of "new" or "unread" status when they appear (for me don't appear at all for Augment).

[spark acorn]

@tacit obsidian going from scopely failing to send a verification email and thus denying access to it, is not considered an improvement to wipe out my existing account altogether. Please fix this. Cant get keys for event, and if i wanted to buy a pack from the webstore i couldnt now anyways

[kind star]

Scopely really does manage to offend players at least 3 times a week with their greed, incompetence and underhandedness. This arc is garbage, just like everything from 2024.

[native verge]

how can you possibly have a server merge not occur simultaneously with a territory reset? is my alliance meant to share territory with an incoming alliance from the other server for five days? come on bruh

[finite mural]

It resets with the merger, and then will reset again on the 23rd. So no sharing, just lots of pew pew or ignoring things for the first week.

[novel spruce]

Can we have a server merger for 167

[crimson lotus]

You can try to sugar coat the war room but all it is is unbridled PVP anywhere. It sucks, and it was a terrible update. Furthermore, why is a 54 competing with a 64 on SLBs? What kinda ignorant person came up with that racket? You need to fix your stuff or we're gonna stop playing.

[tacit hatch]

Truly my question is why does g6 suck so much? Whoever decided a pay just to play set of content should be fired.

[finite mural]

Don't cross post @crimson lotus stick to one channel

[tropic crown]

[crimson elk]

Guess the overlords shot of the same toes again. Once before they proposed a server merge before a territory reset, and here we are again.

<@&509690795536941056> Scopely needs to wake up! We just lost one of the founders of our alliance that has been a font of game knowledge since they keep add to what needs to be done to point of daily clicks taking over 30 minutes. If losing your player base is your goal keep up the good work Scopely your winning on that front.

[wraith cedar]

Has anyone heard if they had the supposed meeting over the weekend or was it just another smoke screen by Scopley? Because from what I can see nothing has been said or even mentioned to alleviate players worries about the direction this game is going.

[hollow laurel]

finally shorten the respawn time of lvl41 silent enemies! its a massive waste of time to do that loop! 🤮

[slim shoal]

They say an awful lot to placate people in the immediate moment... because it works. The follow through is never really there. We are sadly very easily swayed by promises, even after previous promises never amount to anything. Why would they ever change that approach, when it works again and again?

I had a concept for a video where I'd take a clip of every promise Eco ever said here on the official discord or on DJ/rev's show and just play them back-to-back-to-back-to-back to show people how much **** he'd promise with absolutely zero follow through... it would've been funny but sobering. Of course I don't want to spend days doing that any more than anyone else here does... But don't worry, I'll circle back on this soon and let you guys know! 😆

[true zealot]

Scopes for this next season of Territory Control. Now that we have the war room.. can there be additional scoring metrics besides sitting in a TC zone? If you want us to gain points for war room through the month, why can't some points go to TC battlepass as well? Not everyone can be online for each and every zone time period. Frankly sitting cloaked for the majority of scoring is just plain boring.

Oh I spend more than that sadly for the whales to take!

[limber mesa]

the problem seems to be player mentality.
with the right ship and crew it's easy to do the grind on 44's.
it seems on some servers though the people who can do that only think of themselves, and still focus in the 41's.

i only do the last 1 or 2 hits on 41's to get the most out of my last sliver of health, my monaveen easily gets my daily needs in 1½ run with severus crew hunting primarily 44.

[torn patrol]

There's no motivation to grind on the 44s when the loot is nearly the same

[shell jungle]

age old complaint.... our refineries do not level with our needs

[slender monolith]

44 and 41 are pretty close loot wise, i used to hit the 44s simply because weaker ships were needing the 41s, now the 46s annoy me because the system is full of 49s, and it takes ages to do a full run now

[vagrant fjord]

Is there a date when 61 and up will get out of the 51+ bracket for LB events?

That one should be a unique particle I think, but this looks kinda weird.. stfc space calls it a cutting beam efficiency particle

[steady knot]

Hey. All well need to do is buy one more premium in the near future to "fix" it

[kind star]

Some primes have very low effects, and since scopely deliberately conceals the effective effects from the players, this borders on fraud and deception for me. These are often just deceptive packages.

[upbeat imp]

Mobile gaming. The only gaming platform where you pay to level up to double the timers and resources needed. Nothing is balanced or fair. Designed to milk people who have 0 clue about gaming. No pc gamer would pay $99 to buy the Witcher a new horse...Mobile gamers....hold my beer.

[ancient oak]

Hey @tacit obsidian any feedback on when you guys will fix the button change on the faction store?

For items that just had 1 option, for example “romulan allegiance” we used to be able to directly purchase with one click. Now we have to click “view” first and then click purchase. Going through our daily claims and exchanges/purchases now requires twice as many clicks as previously.

This is not good ux, and is not an improvement. It should be fixed pretty quickly.

Maybe tag the dev @spare tulip ? ☺️

I cannot find the Borg cube refit that makes it look like the Enterprise. Can someone tell me where it is located in the store?

[tacit obsidian]

When/how is it dropping the queue?

[vast plinth]

When I get to the full three, it won't do the third. If I refill the queue as one is hit, it gets confused and might go to the last one or just cancels the queue and leaves travel lines on the screen. If I'm in a wave, neither ship even goes for the second in the queue most of the time. I frequently found my ship just sitting still with queue markers on the hostiles. It's broken in every way.

[leaden haven]

been doing the last week for me, also hostiles randomly get stuck after being taken out and still sit there in the system targetable

[vast plinth]

mine is in reference to hostile queuing with the kir'shara artifact, which is broken in and out of waves

[leaden haven]

Aww man you paid for that' feature' 😕 I'm also talking about it and had access to it for around a week 😅 helped rep grinding massively, but is still hella buggy

[kind star]

Now that this pathetic company scopely even wants money for it, the question is whether they are finally doing something about bot users. Who else would buy this garbage?

[vast plinth]

Ah, misunderstood you, sorry. After 2.5 years I've submitted my first real refund request. I usually accept "that's just scopely" but this is so incredibly broken...

[leaden haven]

Yeah it should be a multi tiered research that can be completed for free over time, not a £99 QOL feature

[waxen tinsel]

Since Eco said it’s a shared queue across all docks but isn’t answering other questions, what happens if you try to grind manually with a different ship while the queue is running? Does it add them to the queue instead of attacking normally?

[vast plinth]

ah, i didn't see it's a shared queue. that helps the wave case, but they did still get confused and just stop even with queued hostiles... yes, the other ship would fall under that shared dock idea. you only get attack or queue on the same button space, depending on whether your queue is formed. however, the second ship does show "attack" instead of "queue" with the first ship running a queue...

[stark lintel]

It’s a SHARED Que between all your ships? Yikes. 😬

[waxen tinsel]

I didn’t expect it to be, and it doesn’t read like it would be…
(EDIT: And the new official announcement reads otherwise, “You will be able to queue up a series of attacks for each ship under your control, with the limit determined by your Kir’shara Artifact level.”)

But that’s what Eco said 90 min ago… #🌌-galaxy-chat message

[stark lintel]

Yeah it definitely doesn’t explain that very well in the Artifact description. Between that and the Que issues, it’s firmly in my “ignore it” pile for the foreseeable future.

[waxen tinsel]

Yeah, I really wanted it because independent queues would allow me to switch screens less frequently, which on mobile is about half of the times my game crashes.
A shared queue kills the utility and it also much more likely to be bugged.

[rare vale]

I find the new artifact worthless. Give me a real autogrind prime (set a ship to target all hostiles, with maybe a filter for ship type), and my wallet will be on fire because of how fast I pull it out of my pocket.

[acoustic cloud]

try a crew shift, SNWSpock, eData, (Tucker, Five, Janeway, Gorkon) +Hugh + Paris
Should be able to kill the 53s instead

[harsh thunder]

What's the point of buying the Bartle Pass if it won't help me unlock an officer?

[somber orchid]

Yep battlepass has gone down hill lately

[hidden night]

the whole game has gone downhill lately

[valid grove]

So, your approach to ingame problems you‘ve created yourself is to place the solutions behind a paywall. Great, Scopay, just great.
I didn‘t expect otherwise, but then dont make these smug „we‘ve got solutions for your game problems“ announcements

[limber mesa]

to keep it "balanced"...
faction transponder FT, 1 for each faction.
marks a ship as friendly to 1 faction, as enemy to another, regardless of your reputation.
can be used on a survey ship to safely mine in enemy faction space, or on a warship to auto-grind in friendly faction space.
tiering up unlocks mining speed bonus for gas(fed)/crystal(kln)/ore(rom), damage increase against klingons(fed)/romulan(kln)/federation(rom), increase reputation earned and lost from klingons(fed)/romulan(kln)/federation(rom).

[acoustic cloud]

dont make it an ft, make it an exocomp
too many FT already in the game, with tier-up catalyst being the rate limited

[junior sierra]

shards in BP are LIGHT. 3 Rare, 6 Epic for free and 5 rare, 14 Benga and 7 mustache Kirk for $20. Not awesome... the experiment contiunes.....

[vale gale]

say it with me: 🙏 please 🙏 stop 🙏 awarding 🙏 ciphers 🙏 in wave battlepass 🙏. Please consider paying credits instead. Folks end up getting 10-20 starts banked up and can no longer claim the daily 100 ciphers unless they sit down and run waves for literal hours to clear out excess over 1000 ciphers. This sucks.

[ancient oak]

Anyone else notice that when I flagged a bug that is affecting every single player neither the tagged community manager nor the tagged dev responded.

But when someone reported a bug with a €99.99 artefact they got a response almost immediately?

It’s a pure coincidence naturally. But a fun observation…….. 👀

[tulip fossil]

erm not true, they are still ignoring the £99 Voyager refit bug

[carmine charm]

Why would you buy the refit when they allow people scrapping data that reveals far more data?

[tulip fossil]

extra cargo and it looks good, not too fussed with the shield time though

[cosmic basin]

How do click help alliance when there is vidoe icon there

[finite mural]

click the video icon, and then exit that screen

[final plinth]

the new video-news indicator resetting every now and then is really annoying. having to open 4 videos to make it go away is even more annoying.

[finite mural]

don't have to open any to make it go away, click the button and click back and it's gone

[tropic crown]

They been doing that for a long time. Create the issue and a bit latter they sell the fix as a great new feature they just thought up.

[tired heart]

I'm hoping they fix the faction store soon. We can't view anything on cooldown.

[finite mural]

It will be fixed in the next patch

[quaint haven]

[carmine charm]

not really, it keeps returning

[fiery warren]

Hello everyone !! I have a problem I'm French speaking so I don't understand English well so I just launched the game and I lost everything I came back to the start of the game a new game😬😬

Do I have anything to do?

[exotic bison]

Scopely pls stop screw around on the background on the servers. My internet connection if fine, game crashes and all pm chat is gone

[umbral thistle]

Please have a way to permanently turn off the video icon. I'm not going to watch them stop ramming them onto the screen every time I load the game.

[unborn halo]

<@&509690795536941056> can yall stop covering up my helps button with videos i dont want to watch? thanks.

[sacred garden]

Been saying in zero seconds all day

[finite mural]

next week

[sacred garden]

Really thought it was supposed to be weekly. The count down for the week reset finished this morning lol worthless

[formal bay]

How many times to I need to watch these videos before it will stop showing them as “new” and blocking my alliance helps? I’ve watched each of them three times now… please for the love of god…fix the GUI! This goes for frames and avatars as well. Click through the new ones and then they show up as “new” for days/weeks later.

[urban fable]

Move it to cover the store button, that always claims there’s a sale, apparently for 99.99 or 49.99 - there are other ways to access most of what you need, anyway. At worst, you may get more misclicks into the store and can report to investors more store interaction at the very worst.

[harsh thunder]

On server 44 waiting in Print husband prime for a 46 battleship to show up and waiting and waiting and waiting.... all while my exocomp ticks away.

[harsh thunder]

At 11:22 one finally showed up.

[tropic crown]

I love to see how much server pops dropped after war room. The game is dead since the update went live on S40.

[cosmic nacelle]

What happened to the monthly packs with daily pulls?

[winter sigil]

I'm not sure if the new Kir'Shara artifact was tested before release or not but it's very buggy. Maybe it's just the general lag that exists in the game which is affecting it but it drops off all the time.

[brazen patrol]

What do you mean a couple of weeks?
This is modern torture
