[stark lintel]

The game has been running like crap lately. I think there’s a bigger chance we’ll have incursion issues if they DONT do a maintenance.

[mild cobalt]

Anyone have any idea which description is correct? It's a pretty big difference, one is useful against nearly everything, the other is useful against almost nothing.

[nova sierra]

Instead of just the in game store getting a UI revamp can the developers look at a UI refresh? Surely some UX improvements can be made to improve gameplay? - @tidal notch

[dense prawn]

Not wierd, happens all the time for the last 6 months or so. Especially when buffing a ship with titan or cerritos. You "repair" the ships and its back where it was before with se health it had etc. Very long term bug.

[slender monolith]

Yes, the chest doesn’t show the points, but has to give you something, then adds the points invisibly

[cosmic basin]

the game is so unstable and there so many packs and upgrades that don't work

[slender monolith]

Packs and upgrades that don’t work? In what way don’t work? Which packs and upgrades?

[untold atlas]

Works for all hostiles and armadas

[subtle depot]

Anyone else getting stuck in the load screen? Tried everything I can think of for nearly 2hrs…

[steep socket]

I would like to take a moment and thank scoeply for their great work in keeping me engaged in the game this morning.. 6 minutes head down… impulsing from rift to rift to get a miner to a node… great 6 minute use of my time impulsing through rifts .. extremely productive

[crude sandal]

#🌌-galaxy-chat message try some of those options

[subtle depot]

I’ve tried all of these except reinstalling the game, quite nervous about doing so!

[crude sandal]

if you've got a scopely Id and know the username/password, it's entirely fine

[wise tide]

This is one of many in the last few weeks that have left for the same reason. Others have also cited the disputes resulting from the global PvP events we keep having. <@&509690795536941056> please can the QOL stuff be addressed. You are killing our communities. People feel so much pressure to keep up and there aren’t enough hours for a lot of people. This is a plea. Please do something

[subtle depot]

Thanks, it worked 👍🏼

[fierce sonnet]

<@&509690795536941056> What happened to the Materials Bonus Refinery we usually have during Incursion Prep week?

[lament ivy]

Ty to developers. Ive gotten to 49 and with your adds its apparent there is no point in progressing , the enjoymemt is gone ,, so you have effectively saved me money. Ty

[true zealot]

Not gonna lie...most games would kill for the chance to " have too much" The fact you want to engage means they're doing something right.

[slender monolith]

It’s less want to and more can’t stop themselves feeling compelled to

[cerulean quest]

Why not make the armada event also for xindi UC … give us a break ! Why always pay pay pay

[tidal notch]

Lemme check. I THINK that the bonus refinery wasn't meant to line up with incursions they just both ran usually on the last week of the month. Bonus refinery should be coming next week.

[fierce sonnet]

Ok thanks Hamster, think I just got use to the Bonus Refinery running from Wednesday reset to Saturday reset during Incursion week that I just figured it was part of the Incursion Prep week.

[somber orchid]

@tidal notch take it no refund on the ones we already have in the pack or to swap out for different ones ? As not bad pack if you haven’t already bought some and I can’t be the one only in that position

[tidal notch]

I don't think so, but I'm following up.

[pastel herald]

would be nice that for each one you have it is converted to Lat or Rods

[tidal notch]

That's a pretty good idea!

[nova latch]

So I haven't been on discord in a while but i've had some feedback I wanted to post.

In 2023 STFC included trans identity in their pride event but did not do so this year

This is disapointing.

That is the feedback

[junior sierra]

@tidal notch . Hey, loved the state of the game vid 💪. Super cool hearing Mr tiger. See above for where I’m at. Baby dolphin, battlepass player, full participation. Would really hope a decent drip plan is put in place for the premium mirror dust. I’ll be testing mining in a different system soon. As a lvl 48, I currently totally agree with rev. Mining is not an option in MU….. I assume it will be later with better research. Oh thought screen would show I have 1115 out of 875 needed. So that’s one baby prime per arc 😃

[tidal notch]

I haven't heard about any plans for a Premium drip, but I'll pass it on and see what I can do.

[nova sierra]

And any compensation to the players who bought the criteria data shards to tier 4+ for SMS 2,250 premium dust… only to learn later doomed to fail due to lack of trellium d?

[vast nest]

Sounds like low priority whale problems

[charred cosmos]

You were supposed to buy the liquid trellium packs if you bought the officer packs 🤷‍♂️ if you're gonna whale. Gotta whale correctly 😁

[brazen patrol]

you got baited and that for a measly 2k premium dust

[lost beacon]

Be better if they converted to catalysts or something used within that refinery

[small basin]

@raw fiber @tidal notch some player on EU401 didnt get the military supermarcy event. please fix it

[somber orchid]

Not everyone gets that event and scopley won’t tell them why

[nova sierra]

They were introduced AFTER and last minute before SMS expired. Oh I continue to ‘whale’ 🙄, just refused out of resent/principle to do so on this deception. Such a helpful anti-spender community it has become here where every $$$ complaint is attacked… the game wouldn’t exist without it. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[small basin]

my gf started nearly the same day. every pack i bought she did as well. same ships. same ops. etc... running events not for everyone is not ok

[rich furnace]

Put all that effort into the store, you'd think they'd also at least fix the website so you can stay logged in for more than 48 hours

[charred cosmos]

No but complaining about whale problems is funny because you could've just bought more mdata packs to max him. The game would not be here without spenders no. Which is why I'd rather you spend 4k or whatever it was for mdata vs the cheaper trellium pack route, gotta support the indie company 😁

[nova sierra]

Not as funny as players mimimi over free stuff being broken. 😅 And the intention was to max him (not baited by sms rewards) but principle after realising the deception said no.

[limpid stirrup]

EU servers (115) really bad lag at the moment, can anyone confirm if other EU servers are the same?

[half nest]

Odd question to ask, but built my second Feesha but it’s stuck at current tier and says part (green) is available at ops 41. But I Sam ops 46. Also says part availability is in lat store but not showing up. Glitched? My admiral says wait until in between arcs to claim in store. Got no response from chat bot for customer support.

[lime socket]

Only the first warp components are free in the refinery. For a second feesha you will need to acquire the warp component from an event store, it costs 60k event store currency.

[half nest]

That sux don’t have that kind of money unless event store currency isn’t real money related.

[wise kelp]

Please check what’s different between the two accounts. Military supremacy is the most mysterious event I know of. My head cannon was it revolves around ops and ships built/tier. Do your accounts differ in rep? You may have the best opportunity of any of us in years determining the hidden reqs for military supremacy

[tepid bramble]

Your screwed up broken game just cost me a aquatic token. All because the ship hung up entering the system because your game is broken as all get out. And the only way to fix it is to restart which puts my ship back at base with token spent. Seriously you guys need to get your stuff together. You ask for an awfully high price point to provide such shoddy performance. (Bad enough that go home is a weighted rng, now I have to deal with broken scopy on top of that, no one has that kind of luck 🤪)

30% my butt. (Yes, I finally unlocked the NX01 and I am seeing first hand what folks are saying. And yes, it is absolutely weighted against the players. )

[lime socket]

It isn’t real money. The store we had last month for eg at the end of snw arc. It actually doesn’t seem to be in the real money store, at least currently 🤔

[kindred sphinx]

[celest thistle]

@Scopley - FIX THE LAG !!! incurssion is un-playable - guys honestly get some good software engineers and AWS optimisation experts who know what they are doing - you charge enough for you packs - invest in BETTER people !!!

[harsh thunder]

Anyone else feel the nx-01 risky opportunity chest is a scam?

[olive nacelle]

Why can’t I access Mirror space with a loot excomp ??? Hmm I wonder…… tight just doesn’t describe you lot properly!

[stark lintel]

Are you on your server or your opponents? I’ve seen lots of people saying they’re locked out on the opposing server but not their own.

[vale wasp]

The average returns are roughly the same with either choice of guaranteed income or a slot pull. I split it when I do them, and see which wins.

[olive nacelle]

Opposite mate, will try home cheers

[desert elm]

While it is appreciated what you do, there are system errors that have been a around a long time that need to be addressed. Fir instance, the ghost ships during incursions. Have to reset game every 10 to 20 minutes. This issue is not new. Please try and get it fixed.

[molten iris]

no it’s event store tokens.. should be another soon - august maybe

[wise kelp]

One exo taking up 3 slots is like, not cool scopely

[analog plank]

My loot exo didn't work on aquatics. Are they broken again?

[woven flare]

well this is ridiculous. why not? wasted max fortification and cerritos to find this wont let me jump to mirror space........... nothing about this on any event info. Can go ANYWHERE else but not mirror space? what a joke scopley

[limber mesa]

did you switch server?

[placid ermine]

super annoying that i cannot click on nodes or systems during takeovers/ incursion. this game lags too much during this garbage.

[wise kelp]

Sounds like you can rift home server but not enemy server. Still, id rather the enemy server entry not allow you to spend the vouchers to begin with

[lime socket]

It doesn’t allow spending vouchers. But you boost before trying to spend them, so the boosts are gone.

[quick gale]

War room doesn’t seem to be counting raided res on enemy server for me

[dense prawn]

mats, iso and lat only score. rss arent listed in the description above so 0 points x2 or x3 is still 0

[quick gale]

It says resources raided, is par not a resource

[dense prawn]

yeah, it is but it doesnt get any points so 0 x3 is still 0

[sonic burrow]

So it turns out that doing the 4th level Mirror refinery refinery (to 300%) massively increase the amount of Trellium needed for even one chest.
I advise not doing it, unless of course you can hit the big Mirror hostiles.
Ticket has been put in to reverse the research.

[slender monolith]

People have been advising that all month. At least it tells you both will increase

[sonic burrow]

Yeah and silly me didn't see that.

[slender monolith]

Voyager was the same, there was a sudden jump in costs

[bold marlin]

So, despite my misgivings, I thought I’d try the entering the MU.

To be clear, I wasn’t a fan of it already. I read the notes, I understand the loop and watched virtually all the content creators give it a less than lukewarm reviews and paid attention to the feedback here…….

Every single time I exited the MU, the game crashed. Not some of the time, or half of the time. 8 out of 8 times, I had to reset the game.

My concern isn’t that you’ve designed yet another needlessly complicated, intense grind, nor the fact that it’s VERY clear from Rev’s State of the Game, you’ve implemented it when the games backend and tech pipeline are not yet capable of doing what you want it to do yet, which in itself is a different conversation about ‘why do it now then?’.

It’s the complete lack of quality control that Scopely has exhibited, time and time and time again.

Is being this bad at quality control and testing something that comes naturally or do you need practice or maybe do a course?

The month you declared you heard the feedback and 2024 was to be the year of quality over quantity, is the same month quality dropped to new lows.

I was a light spender, I got the Battle Passes. But three arcs back you stopped the rare officer being unlocked purely from completing the battle pass milestones and started putting shards into event completion as well. And it was 100% Event completion as well, if you wanted that rare officer unlock.

The last two arcs, I’ve not paid for the battle pass and never will again. Bring back milestones only for the officer and I might consider it.

I’m not going to stop playing the game. I’ve progressed quite far and it kills time in those moments at work when it’s quiet. Nor is the game in danger of running out of money, there’s always enough whales with either more money than sense or lower expectations and standards than myself.

Sort yourselves out Scopely, you’re better than this.

[coarse sundial]

Excelsior Calss ship why not it game one off the best st and tng ships about and wiskey every compo chest

[fast tartan]

There are some researches where the requirement doesn't make sense.
Like why would you put a R&D Department level lower then the research requirement where it is higher.

[tulip dune]

Once again, we are punished for WINNING incursions by the incurusion research EXO overriding the exo we bought from teh store. @tidal notch when is this goign to be fixed?

[half nest]

My opinion it seems like the MU exos drop rarely with chests due to very, very poor chance of actually getting one. (RNG very low chance).

[violet dock]

I've just had this with a combat exocomp after our server won and got the research boost running. Exo was spent and deleted after 1 sec

The game counted badly the points for the War Room

[wise knoll]

This is on iOS… game freezing in every section… The developers sleeping from years…

[cunning tulip]

Agree 100%. It’s almost unusable, restart pretty much every ten minutes or so.

The bug fixes they list in recent release are PC only - screen flickering on IOS when changing crews is still very much a thing, and so bad I wonder if it isn’t enough to trigger epilepsy. No joke…

[native verge]

STFC Database - Hostiles tab does not include the survey ships found in Sol

[dire jewel]

Leave it to Scopely to give us more Assimilation without improving the ability to gather Pattern Disruptors for the accompanying research. The limited number of systems (x4 lvl 49-50) and low drop rate numbers always have been and will continue to be unacceptable. Please fix it.

[tough saddle]

Scopley, please fix the lb's. No way I can compete with 60+ as 52 player.

[little latch]

https://tenor.com/view/george-costanza-i-was-in-the-pool-gif-15897385

[cursive gale]

the research isn't worth getting. it's only for those hostiles anyway and what you need to go past the assimilated research doesn't need the pattern disruptors anyway.

[sacred garden]

When you supposed to be able to get this one? It says in borg refinery yet mine doesn’t show it or even offer it in any of the borg refinery.

[sand zinc]

Got a wild idea for Defense Waves - if a team of 5 make it to the end with full base health, the team get's double the payout! Who's with me? Upvote this comment 🙂

[river sierra]

Is there any package for sale that sells Active Nanoprobes?

[tulip willow]

Voyager anomaly space needs fixing. 2 hours I waited, 1 rare popped up and it ended up still being a common. I shouldn't have to wait hours to not even fill my cargo.

[limber mesa]

waiting isn't going to make them pop up, they only appear when another node is depleted.

when you deplete a node, refresh the system by going to galaxy view and back to see if one spawned.

[tulip willow]

When I say I wait I mean I go do other things and come back to look. My ship is waiting not me. I just spent the last hour mining, found 1 rare node. Half of the rest of the nodes are bugged.

[slender monolith]

Still doesn’t speed things up. As Mr.V says, you need to refresh the system to update your view of the spawns.

[grave hawk]

It's time to update the transporter pattern store. When was the last edition a year ago?

[opal crane]

So, I knew the power reduction was in place for PvP with the borg cube (which IS COMPLETE TRASH - Scopely should be ashamed of themselves for how much they would do to shaft lower level players to get a head pat from the whales) but you add the damage reduction to hostiles too? wtaf. How absolutely trash do you have to be? I feel bad for the CMs that have to defend trashy products and Scopely would sell you up the river to convince a whale to buy a pack.

[wary citrus]

Hey scopley, why do we even have this as more buttons??? why not automate it like Transporter Patterns?

[karmic bough]

Ops 53+ will show up in the epic chests

[kindred raven]

Can Scopely PLEASE PLEASE create a system that we can trade in unwanted ship shards for more relevant and useful ship shards....im sitting with thousands of shard for ships im never going to build or use....and still getting those shards for from killing hostiles.....im 46 ops why do i still get Vahklas and Kumari shards.....Come on

Over 200k mats just to earn 10 Diana shards? Have you truly lost your minds? Are the 1 day events getting refreshed every day so we can ignore this mat spend event?

[ebon oyster]

The mats are more for all the other rewards in there 🤣

Yes, you'll have the three bronze events today, three silver events tomorrow, and then three gold events Wednesday/Thursday. Only need to do those to finish the meta.

[carmine owl]

Every time I open a 4hr chest, I feel butterflies in my stomach. What could possibly hide inside? Then you see this incredible reward, which is going to help me a lot at ops 39. Thanks Scopely for the insane rewards we get for free ❤️

[wraith solstice]

Spoiler: I get them at ops 56. Scopely has been promising to revisit this for a long time now.

[carmine owl]

Its just ridiculous.

[grim obsidian]

They have.. these ridiculous events for the last month (todays more than ever) have helped me get my life back by not offering me a reason to play the game.

[fluid stratus]

Ever since I went to 63 and my twin generator artifact went to tier 12. I am unable to get any new shards for it from the voyager refinery either in the common or rare collections. And before you say it’s just bad Rng, I full pull common and single pull rare. I have received zero shards in 9 full common pulls and 5 rare pulls. We all know there is changing math in the pulls which you deny. This is Another proof it exists. Why is my chance now 0? I was getting shards with every pull before. The proof? My artifact is tier 12.

[quaint haven]

Are you not scrapping them?

[pastel herald]

I think Scopley should have left a single button to show ALL in the store so we can see it the way some liked it... wont hurt to add 1 button to see it the way it was

[marble vigil]

i think scopely should fix their timers, a 12 hour shield that does not last 6 hours , somebody there needs to learn how to count, yet it costs the customer it really makes it look like sopely is stealing from their customers rather then just extremely inept

[marble vigil]

just rename scopely to "crooks are us" and be done with it otherwise

[fallow plume]

@tacit obsidian Please address the problem with the Texas Class. The systems are clogged with autofarming players and their sentrys. Either reserve few spawn slots for the normal Texas Class or add a system where only the normal class spawns.

Is there any patch notes please

[somber orchid]

Patch notes for a patch that hasn’t happened yet

[wise kelp]

No maintenance announced, so unlikely there’s a new arc today. Likely we’ll have an announcement for next Tuesday. I am not a lawyer

[cunning tulip]

Maybe a scandal in the making… I need UC gas, and have done (as many do) for a while, gas research and buildings are behind. Now, three double chest refines in a row, I get no UC gas at all, only ore and crystal which I have plenty of, in a week when there are NO mats in any events.

I am a maths major, and beyond… the statistical chances of this are “slim” to say the least.

I am keeping an eye on this, with time stamped screenies now.
Just one more of these and it will be absolutely clear that the refinery outcomes are being affected by someone in order to push to consumption..
If this is the case, it’s illegal.

[carmine phoenix]

Totally agree, uncommon gas/crystal are an absolute nightmare. I need 6,000 to tier up my Enterprise just one tier and I'm getting either 0 or 12 each day. Events are really the only way to get it and there has been a lack of it this last week or so.

[cunning tulip]

It’s not the shortage that concerns me. This is part of the game.. it is the fact that the refinery is giving me statistically near impossible specific outcomes that just happen to be the ones that might push me to buy a mats pack.
TLDR they won’t; but if this continues this would imply that this is not a random chance loot box, it is weighted, and this is illegal.
This is why I am recording my outcomes for all three mats (two of which, the ones I have plenty of, I’m getting some UC for.)

[steady plover]

who the fudge needs Ghalenar shards......
makes this battlepass elite path poor value.

[torpid cargo]

Same thought here. I have gotten just about every officer pass, I will not buy this one. Looks like scopley reached too far back in officer choice. Ghalanar has been out for about two years now, and has in game sourcing. Has been maxed for months. When selecting these officers, they need to look for ones with no sourcing, and or officers that are less than 6 months old. Should of put J Archer, SNW Kirk and Pelia in this flash pass......or something like that.

[jade patio]

Sheesh… is anyone getting more than 10 minutes on a game start before it needs to be restarted yet again…? If I’m just grinding reds and do not change any screens I can manage more than 10 minutes. Anything else and I feel lucky to get the 10 minutes. The game is starting to feel like a government experiment to find out just how much instability and game bugs people will put up with.

[sly belfry]

This refinery have not payed out any Premium Rift key for me the last 10 days or so. As an result i have not been able to fly into the Mirror system that requier this key. I feel thats a long time without be able to fly into this system to get my Raw-D.

[mellow wave]

I feel you. I've pulled 2 chests of that exchange daily since Mirror launched and I've NEVER gotten a single Premium key. Utter BS.

[finite mural]

it's a 3% drop rate

[mellow wave]

which is bad enough, but even if you get it to drop it's 50/50 whether you actually get enough for a rift.

[sly belfry]

I feel its a waist i double pull daily and still not got any Prime. If they dont want me to grind there, i will not grind there. But a waist of space if we cant use it. Maybe 2nd act will improve the access to prime key`s

[harsh thunder]

[woven flame]

Even Q is stumped

Lag Well done!

[dusty portal]

Game is broke as heck right now. Massive waves of lag, North America

[sage valve]

S40 has constant severe lag also

[vague mural]

S100 is bad lag as well.

[echo sable]

the lag seems to happen in intervals

[wooden spire]

Shut up complaining about lag and buy some more packs.

[woven furnace]

Nothing Prime Anti-Lag couldn’t fix for 99.99

[tropic crown]

I don’t think there is anyone at Scopley to even pretend they care right now.

[hardy osprey]

I have seen the lag problem notice. Being in IT, it helps to provide updates on a scheduled basis...even every 3-6 hours. If the status is the problem is still being researched, that tells us more then saying nothing.

[tropic crown]

Well the lag is still going today I see. Someone at scopley woke up and posted that they noticed!

[rare vale]

Random question, not that it actually affects anything, why is the dominion not selectable as a favorite faction in the roles?

[tropic crown]

It might be time to drop a 24 hr shield and try again tomorrow, games a lag nightmare.

[hollow lintel]

I found it to be better this morning than last night by leaps and bounds

[wise maple]

Game is still unplayable on S36. Had to restart 20 times in an hour.

[acoustic depot]

i like after all this time they finally say somethign about it now if they can actually fix the lag and make the game playable again would be great for bussiness

[finite mural]

"finally say something" that was 10 hours ago

[quiet onyx]

If you want Scopely to fix these issues quickly, boycott buying packs. $copely needs a reminder not to take players for granted.

[oak lava]

premium rift key pull rate sucks. 2wks of double pulls and noooooo gold.

[red holly]

Art Deco

[umbral thistle]

The team is suffering from lag, they will care in roughly six hours when it clears (after their shift ends)🤣

[ancient sandal]

If they had any ideas on how to solve the lag issues this wouldn't be an ongoing problem over the past years

[misty mason]

Are we getting an apology (comp) chest for the terrible lag yesterday that made the game virtually unplayable? We deserve one for that awful performance…

[willow raven]

They’re not working on it they’re already on vacation. Take the hint, put up a long shield and go outside.

[vale wasp]

A comp chest for the recent lag issues is being worked on.

[jaunty fog]

Really hope they make it decent.

[terse wing]

Can you please look at Mirror Universe... its Far too much hassle and takes too long... by all means take payment for each system and deduct 30s per system, but make it direct....

[pastel herald]

the game is currently unplayable in any way shape or form without getting frustrated every 10 minutes

[tawny walrus]

Lag is getting horrible again. We were in the middle of a wave when the whole system froze... basically all the hostiles hit. Can't really play in this condition.

[pastel herald]

it is not lag, it is network loss of contact on my side, like packet loss... often it is not recieving my inputs or giving back any response if I do get thru and will often show up as actions were ignored...

[worn tundra]

Probaly there is a $99 pack somewhere to improve performance !!!

[tribal bane]

I’m guessing a northcutt is probably a requirement but nothing happened

[finite mural]

needs to be tier 6, will be under gifts, the northcutt that is

[wide hazel]

Man I feel like an outcast in my own alliance

[fossil bolt]

@finite mural are you aware of a change of strength of the hostiles in the mirror systems? I was, until 2 days ago do a full cargo (1.6 Mio) in the 61 system, now I can only fill 600k with the same crew, any changes you're aware of? Anybody else experiencing the same?

[woeful nymph]

<@&509690795536941056> Can we get the respawn rate of the Texas Armadas sped up. I'm on Server 8 and the respawn Rate of Automated Shipyard in 56 Corvinus is like 20 minutes

[finite mural]

there hasn't been any changes as far as I'm aware, just did a run and got what i normally get, any services not turned on?

[fossil bolt]

Standard crew and everything else. Maybe just a bug, I'll do another run. Pretty strange. Did you try the Barklay system?

[finite mural]

My deridex can kill one in barklay, lol, i farm velata

[fossil bolt]

I'll clear cache and see if that changes. Tried again, checked in Alli, 2 people experiencing the same. Definitely a change, Support denies it, but it's 70% less loot now in the 61 system.

[limpid stirrup]

@echo I hope you get to read this, the Olympic style mini event was great, the rewards were ok. Yes they weren’t big rewards but the events were easy to complete so at the same time justified.
If you can think of an excuse to drop events like this in to the game in the future that would be great.

[craggy kiln]

@worn tundra bought it and never received it

[sterile mauve]

Enjoyed the events rewards where terrible and the spend event wasn’t anything worth while, I’m only ops 49 so not a big spender but 4* ship parts and and officer sourcing needs vast improvement would like to see more ship parts rewards in events thanks

[wary citrus]

<@&509690795536941056> Since this week really is un-eventful and sucks, why not put all ships skins / refits for sale at a 4th of July discount!!!

[pastel herald]

well, no one wants to play with these delays/lag/packet losses or whatever is going on, - no one wants to buy a thing in my alliance and half are so mad they are starting to quit

[harsh thunder]

Poor choices to add to the ultra recruit chest.

[woeful oasis]

Game is unplayable today - whatever was done to fix the lag was he wrong thing because it is much worse

[sacred garden]

Hmmm ain’t this list supposed to be a lot longer than this? What happened to strange new worlds and the other arcs that should be in here?

[potent blade]

Why is it that every time I enter FSEP-3819 There is only 1 pod for mining Rare Anomaly (and it's occupied). There should be at least 6 at all times and about a dozen pods for Common Anomaly.

[echo sable]

I usually see 2-3 tops. they load weird. try to exit that screen/load another area and come back and another might show up. same with clearing the regular ones

Additionally: Sometimes the normal ones when you click on them they DO say and ARE rares so be dilligent. still would be nice if more spawned though

[limber mesa]

there's no normal amount.
every time someone leaves an empty anomaly node it respawns in a randon location, as a random anonaly node type.
so it can happen that all nodes are rare, or all nodes are common.
mine some common nodes to make rare ones appear.

[unique current]

So where is the 4th events? Find it weird you all have pride events but nothing for America’s Independence? Seems pretty suspicious to me

[urban sky]

No event no chest no acknowledgment. Murica is disappointed

[unique current]

I would think they make enough money off American servers as a whole to offer something.

[torpid yew]

?

[dense prawn]

And they Push St. Patricks day hard every year. Its a really odd omission considering.

[alpine ferry]

Can’t see new packs, always have to tab.. can’t you border the bucket to show new additions

[rare vale]

Are they seriously reusing Earth for other planets? 🤣

[icy patio]

[nova sierra]

Just here sharing an experience which just wrapped up with Scopely. On July 1, 2024 - I had thought there would be a new wave defense battle pass…so I went on my phone and purchased the first wave pack could find…when I logged back in game, I realized it was the wave points pack…unfortunately this was not helpful to me as I had already completed the wave battle pass. I proceeded to log a ticket with scopely to see if i can get a refund. Shortly after event reset - i used some mats for the spend event. Scopely responded to my ticket saying they are unable to refund me as I need 20k each of G5 common crystal and gas; they indicated if i replenish this and maintain all other resources/mats from the pack, I would be issued a refund. Well refining for those mats will take a while, so I ended up buying the monthly resource pack to make up for it. I contacted scopely yesterday to inform them I have all the mats/rss to repatriate for the refund. Scopely then refused the refund saying all the contents must be intact to proceed with refund. I asked this mornign what is missing - they replied indicating they will not issue refund. Well this is the straw that broke the camels back I guess - and will be “clawing” back on any further spending on this game. Thanks @rigid vapor for promising something and then backtracking on it.

[hoary linden]

Unless you make research and favors apply to Bonus Refinery... there is nothing to be excited about

[raw fiber]

@nova sierra sent you a DM

[exotic tangle]

Pride is celebrated worldwide wide 4th of July is purely an American thing and means nothing to anyone else

[unique current]

But is it really celebrated everywhere? Can name quite a few countries that don’t. But since you brought up such flawed logic… scopely has St. Patrick’s day but only 8 countries celebrate that. Also considering there are more servers for America then all EU servers…

[exotic tangle]

I didn’t say everywhere buts it’s celebrated in significantly more countries than the 4th of July. Internets a big place with more than just America

[quartz ingot]

re the new District 56 Building, We would have preferred more loot than more time, remember players would like to reduce time spent in the game not increase it

[warm crystal]

These worthless new building buffs should not be applied when attacking players below 40. Or yall need to cap pvp @40 plus

[jaunty prism]

I am never going to give your YouTube a single second of watch time no matter how times you replace my Alliance Help button with that useless Videos button. Never. Not once. Stop trying.

[modern crane]

Most people are wanting less screen time. But we are adding more time in the mirror universe. If instead we cut the warp times by 1/4 and the timer by 1/4 (5 minutes total) in the mirror universe. Then increased the loot from hostiles and the chest dropped by 4 times. This would help the player base get the same loot much quicker in the current mirror universe and would also give us less screen time on this feature.

[cosmic knoll]

new building

has a daily 'drip' of 100 entry tokens? well thats pointless isnt it? let me see: 100 x 3 days = 300 = 1 entry
what else do i get every 3 days? oh yes ... 900 entry tokens, which is the cap right?

@raw fiber tell them to increase the cap amount, else its a failure of a building, well maybe a little harsh, but you understand right? a daily drip of useless is the same as no drip at all

[cloud helm]

Players: We don't want any extra grind!
Scopely: Ok, 10 more minutes extra grind for you!

[terse wing]

So rather than address the frankly awful mechanic and endless clicks, you've added stuff no one wants or asked for...fail (again)

[finite mural]

Many have asked for increased timers and daily premium key sourcing is an improvement.

[pliant wadi]

Is there any fix for this error when trying to go into elite hirogen systems? I have 6 systems that now give this error, both at the low end and the high end for my warp range. this has been an issue in some systems for months, others new today. I've cleared cache and reinstalled the game, neither of them fixed the systems where this happens

[vale wasp]

Don't know of a workaround. I'd file a ticket for your issue though and let them know that so many are broken now that your progress has stalled.

[pliant wadi]

god tribbleshooting is terribly programmed

[last nest]

can tell none of you know what you’re talking about since they had past july 4th events but lets keep the we hate america exaggerations

[pliant wadi]

Odd that they'd have something for one nation they have players in, and not others like Canada Day, Mexican Independence day, St Bastille day, Independence day in any of the other 50+ countries that have one, and so on.

[last nest]

company based in america, just like chinese games that do events for holidays

[pliant wadi]

Scopely is owned by a Saudi based multinational... so let's look up Saudi holidays, I guess? September 23rd is their Unification of the Kingdom celebration, so let's support them having an event to celebrate that day.

[last nest]

that doesnt matter because.., there wouldn’t have been a pride event. scopely hq is in america

[pliant wadi]

you choose to ignore the point, which is fine, you're allowed to, but to say that anyone who doesn't see a problem with this hates america is just ridiculous.

[odd musk]

So since you all have moved warchests to every month y'all gonna drop the research? What about the building resources?

I think most of us wrongfully assumed we'd have warchests up every couple of weeks. Now with your recent change to incursion model the first level of research is only able to be completed in 4 years... So to get all 3, 15 - 20 years? Y'all uh think that through?

[brazen patrol]

#⭐-official-announcements message
Bonus refinery is bad (a lot worse than regular refinery for g4)
Make the bonuses from bajoran faction etc count for the bonus refinery!

[pliant wadi]

Did they announce that warroom was only going to be active once a month now? As I recall week 1 in June was cancelled due to technical issues.

[odd musk]

They said it'd run along side incursion from now on which is once a month so...

[pliant wadi]

Ok, but the fact it'll run along side them does not mean it will only run alongside them. I think it's premature to assume that we won't have one next week until it's actually announced.

[odd musk]

Pretty sure I've come to an appropriate conclusion... The direct quote from the post weeks ago:

As some of you have noticed the** War Room Event started today. ** For the foreseeable future,** the War Room Events will run during the same week as Incursions.**

E.g. war room events will be running with incursion which occur once a month therefore for the foreseeable future we get it once a month meaning it should be reduced at the very least to account for that change in game design.

[unique current]

Did I say never? Reading is fundamental…

[civic jay]

When is the new building being released, not seeing it on server 57

[solid lake]

How about for the bonus materials refinery, we consider adding a bonus ship parts refinery 😉

[limber mesa]

new content is always on Tuesdays after maintenance.

[proud raven]

Why are all the people on the buildings in Section 56 female or gorilla?

[rancid pulsar]

Scopely report system is from 90th. No proves needed for chat ban on account ban. You get banned, then raided and noone cares about it. Just stupid AI ban and no one takes response about your ress snd timr losing. Just pay money and noone cares

[dense prawn]

That compensation was pretty average. enough for 1 resource pack and 1 pull of syndicate... To even get the officer pull you'd need 2.2x the comp?!?! stingy as always

[gaunt pawn]

I got the compensation gift and purchased 10 July daily chips with it, but can’t redeem them! I cannot believe that they beta test anything and just shove things out into the universe, pun intended, to see what sticks!

Found it after 15 minutes

[elder hornet]

Great more junk to spackle over the crap.

[lavish dagger]

So the new building gives an extra 10 minutes in mirror space. It doesn't solve the problem of navigating ridiculous amounts of rifts or actually making the mining nodes useful. Stop adding new crap and actually improve what already exists. It's like the war room, only gets an event once a month now and pays out almost nothing. No wonder the lag is getting worse when you're adding more and more new content without removing old, dead content like worms or thousands of old inventory items.

[errant robin]

Compensation: a) 1 day of elite bonus reward pack. Didn't it used to be 7 to 10 days. b) Syndicate experience again. Enough said. c) Galactic Officer Shards, ooohhh! Not enough for 1. Scopely logic, give them something so they buy something. Your stressing your customers, do you want them to be someone else's customers?

[analog plank]

As more and more of my friends quit the game, it makes it harder to keep interest myself.
Lag, needing to reset game in ios every time I want to swap a crew, mirror and waves both require a 20 minute chunk of uninterrupted play... I'm getting close to joining them

[inland glen]

I have open ticket voicings my disappointment. Can someone from Scopley check my spending level and direct my account to appropriate offerings. Since changing to the new offers sections, my offers are sad. Can someone please take a look at this. StPeteCliff Server 8. Thanks Cliff

[cloud helm]

I think you meant to say soon to be 30 minutes chunk.

On S91, an ops 60 player called it quits today. Time commitment for this game is insane and we are only increasing it with the next arc. GG

[quaint haven]

How did you get 10 july chips? Mine won’t even buy 2…

[lavish dagger]

you were issued 10 july chips in the comp gift which is one pull in the alliance store

[quaint haven]

Oh misread as 10 days not 10 chips which is one day and 9 less than the standard comp chests used to be

[coarse sundial]

sim city 😂 suipted solpoy lets make new lag i mean mu was bad enoth with lag and waves now sim city well slopy you done it aging

[coarse sundial]

did soply evean watch star trek picard season 3 discirect 51 was on a plannet lol

[valid grove]

Kinda funny how your blog entry for district 56 says „its gonna help you with the mirrorverse“ - and then 50% of what the building does is pvp - something absolutely no one wants to be doing in a time-limited-entry-limited area. Go figure.

[clever orbit]

bonus refinery sucks, it doesn't mean anything anymore

[neon hill]

why did you do such a thing in the pc version.

[nova sierra]

Could someone feedback that server EU405 is running pretty poor since it’s launch. Freezing and having to restart after every action. @raw fiber

[fierce sonnet]

<@&509690795536941056> The Bonus Materials Refinery is normally during Incursion week and 3 days long (Wednesday @ <t:1721232000:t> to Saturday @ <t:1721232000:t>). So this bonus refinery is now a week later than usual and a day shorter.

[low thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/darth-vader-alter-the-deal-empire-strikes-back-star-wars-gif-15971205

[last nest]

Reminder you have to get the building to level 40 to get that bonus time and most buildings take 1 year plus to get anywhere near that

[low thorn]

Next arc, add 5m of time to your trip in the MU for every PVP kill!

[wise kelp]

I think the 50% time needs lvl 40 building. But at t1 I thought it said 5% to the timer. And every 5 lvls I think it increases again. I am not a lawyer

[woven sonnet]

Who cares. Bonus refinery pays out less then normal refines and cost twice as much. It does NOT benefit from buildings, research, favors, primes

[finite mural]

bonus does benefit from primes, just not favors.

[fierce sonnet]

Im a low level player in the uncommon crystal bottleneck that seems to never end, I will take whatever boost I can.

[rugged badge]

On S29 at ops59. Thank you for the new brackets. For the first time since entering the 50’s I have any hope of placing top 5 in any SLB

As a non-PvP’r, the officer is useless to me and it is an unfortunate waste of an opportunity to win a spend SLB

Hoping the bracketing sticks on the servers with significant 60+ populations

[finite mural]

Bracket is just a test, it reverts next time

[reef siren]

As a ops 64 on server 121. I feel better not killing effort made by all folks in g5. I did sms (42M score) with 3 buildings and 2 pulls on ship parts. It’s absolutely better this way when players without access to g6 economy do not share bracket with us, and I really hope it will be a permanent solution.

[tropic crown]

It seems when you guys said quality over quantity you mean less rewards for events.

[modern crane]

We really need to stop "testing" the brackets and just finally implemented a better version.

The "testing" is mostly likely just for profitability, but unfortunately they're doing the test on the third SLB/SMS of the same officer when most of the G6 crew has him already. So they don't have the same motivation to spend for him now. Hopefully their "test" is comparing apples to apples and not comparing the spend to the first event for the same officer.

[sacred garden]

I’ve watched the original Star Trek anime with Kirk and them, Star Trek Cerritos anime and the Star Trek prodigy anime and I have to say out of all of them I like Star Trek prodigy best.

[rain mist]

Scopely, can you please fix wave defenses? It's really a nice thing, but most of the time unplayable! 😦

[civic totem]

Well I know how you feel, I work long hours and don't get to play as often as before, I'm now finding that to do everything to progress I need to be online all day on my days off and still can't catch up with everything. We have just lost another player for this exact reason, as he was Free to Play and can't keep up with everything. SCOPLEY need to stop adding more content and reduce time needed to play or they will lose all but the whales.

[slender monolith]

Does no one ever consider slowing down? Just because the game keeps going faster doesn’t mean you have to go with it. You don’t have to do all content, you don’t have to do every loop every day, you don’t have to try and be at the top. Being mediocre and doing just enough is perfectly acceptable. There will always be people spending to outclass you, unless you do the same, all you do is burn yourself out.

[finite mural]

https://tenor.com/view/sanic-gotta-go-fast-gif-10457752

[somber orchid]

Everyone wants that next shiny thing

[slender monolith]

Indeed, but not everyone can have or needs it. Just as in RL, poors are either poor or bankrupt.

[civic totem]

I haven't done more than basic dailies in nearly a year. I also only do events that can be completed in the short amount of time I have on the game daily. I have a few of the newer ships but the time needed to grind to upgrade them along with getting decent faction ships to kill hostiles is stupid and adding forced PVP into it means there are days I can't even do basic dailies without being killed.

[fluid mist]

@vale wasp @tidal notch @raw fiber tagged all of you cause i was asked a question and i dont know the answer. How do you go about getting tucker and archer unlocked i have them both but i can't remember if it was event related or event store as well??

[unkempt roost]

You can rest assured the testing is exactly that. A test of which way they think will make them more money despite as you say having no fair baseline for comparison and the officer being pvp and of little value to pve players.

[bleak gull]

Add a server-wide community chest to these boring faction days - based on hostile kills.

[glacial spruce]

Does Scopely not consider their target audience? I'd guess that there's a very high percentage of folks with at least mild OCD among the Star Trek fan base. It's certainly higher than the average population.

I know a lot of folks in game who continue doing arc events simply because they "have" to finish all events even when they've completed the arc rewards. Obviously they don't have to, and it benefits them in no way at all. But it's a fairly common personality type among Trek fans.

[worldly shoal]

@vale wasp When is scopley going balance the PVP level scaling? A level 62 being able to hit a L29 is ridiculous. It should be set to +/- 5 or 10 levels to keep things fair

[vale wasp]

A 62 cannot hit a 29 unless they're in Origin space, where there are no pvp brackets.

[worldly shoal]

That was an example, not a fact. But that does change the fact that whales can hit lower levels but can't get hit back by same

[wise kelp]

Can we have a toggle to disable pips? They’re always broken, and the notifications they provide can be unhelpful. I had like 56 pips for factions, selecting it showed like 5 factions needing attention; however, the only one I cared about and needed to action on wasn’t one of them. Pips actively make me dislike the gameplay sometimes

[vale wasp]

If you can be hit by a whale, then you can hit them in the same system.

[somber orchid]

PvP , pve brackets are all 👎

[worldly shoal]

No you can't

[glacial spruce]

Scopely has balanced it. You just need to spend more. Then it'll be balanced.

[warm gulch]

but a lv 64 can attack a lv 46... its near the same like lv 29... its rediculess that is possible!

[slender monolith]

He has a point. When you die in round 1, without even firing, you definitely didn’t hit the whale.

[analog plank]

I don't play a game to be medicore. I can't beat the whales, but I want to be competitive in all ways possible.

[slender monolith]

That’s fine.

[vivid mauve]

Sometimes I wonder if the last 6 months is a precursor to game shutting down. They have exponentially increased the speed of everything-arcs, new grinds, and introduced pointless barriers and sold packs to overcome them. Seems either they will have to “remove a 0” from all the numbers or continue extracting every dollar they can before ending game

On that point, when the game is eventually shut down, how long will it take for the whales who have spent $100,000 or more on a game with nothing to show for it? Can you imagine realizing that you would have been better off yeeting that money into super high risk investments that would have provided a far better outcome then blowing it all here? I mean, you can’t tell me that the folks who have spent $10,000-$100,000 are SO rich they can shrug it off. I don’t care how wealthy you are, $100,000 with absolutely nothing to show for it is a massive hammer to the face.

Personally, I have spent entirely wayyyyyy too much on this game, and I would imagine my shame number is around $5000.00

Over three years. And it has only recently occurred to me that I have spent that much.

Out of curiosity, I went and checked all the scopely transitions and added it all up.

This wasn’t that hard due to the fact I keep my internet addiction spending on a single card.

[slender monolith]

Question is, does it have blackjack?

[tepid bramble]

Oh I have been saying for a year now Scoply is doing the end game
Run. But Rev et al keep telling me I don’t know what I am talking about. Swims like a duck, quacks like a duck…pretty good odds it’s a duck.

[vale wasp]

There aren't many ways to play this game wrong, but treating it as an investment vehicle is one. It isn't a stock share, bond, or rentable property. It is the hobby, movie, show--the video game in which you spend your time.

At the end of it all, instead of asking whether or not you made money here, try something like:
Did I enjoy myself (being a whale/non-whale)?

[reef wigeon]

Don't worry, they're fixing the game. Lol

[forest zealot]

Over the last week or so i started to ask myself: "By 'quality over quantity' did you mean 'cutting down on the variants of problems and improve on the regularity the most annoying ones occur'?" Because by now i've reached the point that the act of 'calling back my miner and swapping ships to see if i can upgrade the final part on my Legionary before swapping back and sending my miner out again' was accompanied by two menu transition delays (15-20 seconds before the UI loaded in) and three restarts of the game due to the UI either not loading in at all, or staying on the old menu but ceasing to respond.
I'm not putting this into bug reporting, because i've seen similar reports in there every other day for the last month and (at least to my alliances feedback) it has been getting significantly worse over the course of the last week. And it's not even confined to one platform, since it happens on my Android Phone as well as on my PC which is barely 9 months into its life cycle.

[nova sierra]

So basically you are confirming stfc is in the process of ending

[vale wasp]

If that's your takeaway from what I said, then you've misunderstood.

[whole sequoia]

Scopely needs to get rid of all the abandoned ships. They're mostly Realtas with a few Orion Corvettes mixed in. I've seen a few Phindras and one Enterprise. Who gets that far then just quits and leaves their ship so long it becomes 0 Unidentified?

The worst part is on server 702 abandoned ships are sitting on resource nodes and there's no way to get them off because they cannot be attacked. If all the nodes in the single digit systems get clogged with abandoned ships it will be impossible for new players.

Then there's how it makes the game look bad, especially when a system has hundreds of abandoned ships.

Either just delete them all or set them as hostiles for anyone to shoot for loot. Archive the accounts data in case some of the players come back.

Getting all those ships out will reduce the load on the servers.

For abandoned stations, convert them all to non-regenerating Armada targets, or just remove them.

[potent shard]

In my server we have dead account ships in lvl 38+ nodes. Unable to target and kill. So it takes up nodes.

[queen creek]

anyone getting error 504?

[quaint haven]

EU114 has just pretty much collapsed (10:10am GMT) - game booted everyone out, and whilst you can get back in, you can't actually do anything... OfficerCB85 - I got the same, but if you give it a minute or two and restart, it corrects itself

[potent shard]

This is not the arc maintenance

[raven beacon]

702 is unplayable right now as well...keeps freezing

[verbal roost]

the same on 403... freezing and loosing connection

[smoky kiln]

#⭐-official-announcements message

[limber mesa]

this is maintenance on the physical servers, done by the company that hosts them.
tomorrow is maintenance done on the server software for the game.
combining them would be far more risky, they could end up corrupting the server software or data.
ot we could end up with a 20 hour maintenance, as scopely maintenance would be lagging out from the server host's maintenance.

[mossy edge]

Major lag issues on 152 as well.

[unborn pebble]

Terrible lag at server 400

[river notch]

scopley ur shop is working fine lmao defo no lags their hahahaa

[modest mirage]

on 118 nothing is working hostiles appear and dissapear, in mirror took over 1 min to kil 1 and about 3 mins to use a rift what a hu.ck up

[upbeat ravine]

Server 106 pretty much unplayable, managed to somehow change my Sally to a Legionary and send it away, when it arrived it was my Sally again 🤪

[stray hill]

looks like every server has lags, probably upgrading.....

[edgy blade]

Wie war das mit der angekündigten Qualität von scopely? Das Spiel friert permanent ein und noch schlimmer sind die Verbindungsprobleme. Investiert endlich Geld für eine ordentliche Infrastruktur, was ihr euch bei den Wucherpreisen für die Pakete locker leisten könnt.

[sturdy crater]

Für heute wurde Wartung angekündigt, letzte Woche. Erst lesen, dann jammern. 🙄

[edgy blade]

Unter official announcements steht aber "Maintenance will begin at Dienstag, 9. Juli 2024 10:00 with the usual downtime of 3h. "

[sturdy crater]

Siehe Official Announcements vom 04.07., kann leider den Link nicht posten.

[haughty sail]

Every other company has redundancy and fallback but not this game, all run from a single server rack or something? Unreal how some hardware maintenance means the game falls over, how about you get some backup hardware to do the job while they do whatever they are doing om thr main server. Not like you can't afford it with the insane pack pricing in this game...

[echo bolt]

Maintenance started early? Game is unplayable today!

[stray hill]

They have, but probably upgrade by parts, so half servers are down and upgrading and after that another half... Not all upgrades needs downtime

[elfin walrus]

Scopely should have put the game in maintenance mode as it would have been more clear as 'expect some performance issues' as this is unplayable

[edgy blade]

Für mich gilt immer die letzte Ankündigung, da die Mitarbeiter von scopely permanent unterschiedliche Zeiten schreiben. Das selbe Chaos wie beim programmieren.

[nocturne prawn]

Game is Entirely unplayable right now, the ships seem to move when you first tell thgem but then bam, they are back at the station, miners wont mine nodes they are right over .. just nothing - this is the worst i've seen from background work

[fleet violet]

We have the same issue...ships frozen, hostiles as well...No possibility of sending ships to systems... completely stuck everything

[nocturne prawn]

this is beyond "performance dip" LOL

[verbal roost]

server 403 seems to be back on track...

[mossy edge]

[sturdy crater]

Höre ich da etwa Zweifel an der unermesslichen Kompetenz dieses Unternehmens? 🤣👍

[waxen kite]

game is awful today...

[balmy iris]

@raw fiber When people lose access to their accounts you don't make an announcement like it all went as planned sorry for the inconvenience. Or you do because that's how you roll. 💩 🤡

[wise citrus]

That statement that they fixed the lag proves how clueless the devs are.

[shut latch]

Lag is Still an issue on S35 !!!

[summer cloak]

on 402EU server have lag

[astral cove]

Lag is still terrible on my game

[raw fiber]

I understand your frustration, buddy. Our team and Redis Labs are actively working to resolve this issue. You can reach out to me directly if any of your members are experiencing account issues.

[cosmic python]

121 eu is unplayable at the minute ships won't leave stations can't spend mats for slb /sms

[marble copper]

I have a question regards ship upgrades, why is the voyager so expensive on trit, 1 module on the Titan for instance is 465M Trit for tier 4, but 1 mod on Voyager tier 5 is 6.5 Billion both are 4 star ships, voyager has 9 mods thats about 60 billion trit for one tier, seems a bit too exspensive to me.

[scenic osprey]

🥺 OMG 6 try to go from base to swarm system its not nice @ the mom to play ^^

[finite mural]

Welcome to 5* upgrades

[marble copper]

but it's only 4*

[analog plank]

Majority of systems are giving this error and hostile free

[finite mural]

If it's a dq system for voyager, it's known, just have to go to the next one, or fall back one.

[native adder]

Why would you rerelease a month-old video when we’re due new content?! This is really misleading (makes it look like these are new officers for July to anyone that hasn’t kept track) and extremely irritating.

[keen loom]

Dear Scopley:

It’s one day prior to the next content release. Your community wants to know where you are at with fixing the following issues:

Wave Defense: Constant game rebooting at the start of every wave.

Consistent Server Lag: Please do not attempt to downplay this in any fashion. It’s consistent, and grossly affects the player experience. Compensation is nice, we’d rather the issue be fixed.

Please affirm that these issues will be totally resolved prior to more new content dropping tomorrow, and that the teams who can resolve these matters are not focused on new content.

Finally, please acknowledge that your previous statement; “we can, we will do better,” applied exclusively to the volume of content released, and not quality, game stability, or the player experience.

[sacred kiln]

Lost 2 dom solo armaddas due to earlier lag... despite 3 ships being in the circle non registered... one even claimed to be 2 far to join armadda with 40 seconds to spare despite being im the circle......

[finite mural]

contact support, they can return the directives

[burnt breach]

At this rate.....gonna upgrade nx-01 next year maybe ...

[thorn nova]

the lag is worse than yesterday.

[burnt breach]

3 tokens for one aquatic and one kill
..we gave you a ship..now junp with the money to upgrade!!!scopely way!!! More money less gameplay quality

[slender monolith]

Do the slow but steady grind then, the aquatic one shot is only for those with plenty of tokens, Or failing that, those being either lucky or conservative

[true zealot]

somethings not adding up.... Are you hitting reptiles with an other ship... as you should be able to hit interceptors a good chunk... battleships are always a crap shoot... i personally only go for them near 50% hull so if i get sent home it's no biggie

[normal meadow]

laggy in 102 still

[vale falcon]

laggy on 132

[sacred kiln]

As ive discovered below deck crew can mess you up. Ive found only having tendi bd works better than having tendi and other characters...

Currently im able to kill 3-4 lvl 42 bombers (providing they don't use the big gun first round)

In fairness ive maxed out the particle beam delay in exborg favours 😆 🤣 😂

I admit i paid for my nx01 launch day.... ive still only got it up to t4.... its a grind and a half but war range makes it worthwhile (deep space opc hunting)

[slender monolith]

Mines T5, i kill 1 battleship at a time.

[bright forum]

Bonus refinery is a joke, I get so much more uncommon, rare and epic res from my standard pulls it’s ridiculous.
“Bonus” 🤣

[tranquil roost]

The Voyager refinery is much more valuable at T7 onwards, so the price of getting it there is proportionatly higher to reflect this🙄🙄🙄

[nova sierra]

What’s the point in giving compensation if they are just going to remove the option to spend it? Any ideas when it’s coming back?

[analog trout]

new arc doesn't trigger?

[woven sonnet]

Don’t know why you’re hitting 40 battleships when a t1 nx can kill 53s

[sullen dust]

this is my inventory... I don't use much the Explorers... I primarily use my interceptor or battle ship for usual grinding.... so how is It this algorithm used to give refinery never seem to give a spread average on all.... here's my point👇

so this is always seeming to be a trick to get me to buy exocomps and sorry for being rude but I ain't stupid

[fading mulch]

Does anyone know what's going on with the station appendix?
So much was announced but there's been nothing going on here for months. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[sullen dust]

its a crow nest for the base... don't put laforge in there 🫣

[lilac creek]

Am using it as my dungeon..

[warm gulch]

its my toilett... you cant put the toilett near where you sleep. some guests will die slow 😆

[vivid mauve]

Oh man. So not the response you think it is.

1. The last 18 months of this game have been like the person who buys a hotel that is established and has earned a loyal customer base, raises prices but allows the infrastructure to fall into oblivion. And only once they have extracted every bit of revenue they can, and repaired as little as possible, they shutter the windows in order to write off the losses .

2. Players have INVESTED collectively millions of their life’s hours and dollars in a game with a passionate title and association. Don’t tell me “it’s not an investment”. It is.
   This is where I hope you don’t speak for Scopely because if that is their response….yeah.

3. With an investment, there are expectations of return. While not a return where you get profits, but the expectation of a stable game, actually listening to players, and rewarding their loyalty. Not doing the exact opposite of what we ask. Without us, there is no STFC. Which is why I firmly believe this game is in the “wind down operations and costs” phase before inevitable closure. World of Warcraft did the same thing years ago and look where they are now. Their subs are nowhere close to what they used to be. I think their turning point was when they decided to sell gold in game, but that’s just opinion .

[tropic crown]

Can we get ability to turn off the red pips please. They come up when there is nothing to turn in, they come up after you cleared them, they keep coming up after I have cleared them over and over again, they don’t come up when there actual is something to turn in. Basically they suck.

[visual sage]

Why has this been changed to be just 1x everything?

[woven sonnet]

Click the info button. It’s always been 1x .

[wary citrus]

they just changed the officers around a bit

[split harbor]

Can you change artifacte restoration to 24hr cool down between claims instead of 3day cool down. Would help speed up this loop and make us need to run more formation armadas. Otherwise we never seem to run them until an artifact SLB comes along.

[dense prawn]

Why no comp for APAC servers, the leg and bugs and glitches and failing waves are all happening there as well

[woven sonnet]

So far the new move for scopely is to introduce loop, then building the next month and new niche ship after. What do we think will be our niche ship next arc

[oak folio]

Won't matter what ship with the lag, many may quit

[harsh valve]

Funny that the US & EU servers get a compo chest for Redis Lag - but APAC servers also had lag at the same time... (some accounts even got reset to Level 1 too) - makes me feel like someone needs to do a deepdive on the server config to make sure the redis instances are actually separate...

[potent shard]

That is the mini game. Click on it and try to get 3 stars in each lvl. Then go to field training and collect.

[fading mulch]

Yes, I know that. I've already passend all levels.
There hasn't been an update for months. Arcade events and lots of other things were announced. Nothing has happened since then
I don't need it. I was just interested in why this is an "abandoned area" for the moment. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[potent shard]

It's scopely. They abandoned the starbases not even a month after it was introduced, they've abandoned Fleet Commander events, and so many other stuff. It's what they do.

[frail ruin]

Why do you never fix any of the crash bugs on iOS? Stuff where the ui vanishes or game just stops requiring a forced close and restart multiple times a hour

[full gate]

LESS CONTENT. MORE STABILITY.

[patent rivet]

Is that not what they promised in Dec

[rotund yew]

So with these new buildings come reduced crit etc therefore meaning the pvp spread gets more unfair. Can scopely not look at this spread because someone level 42 to a level 29 with these new power increases makes it even more unfair. It basically means the money spent on the new officers to gain some parity is now pointless

[ripe thicket]

If you want to make all the mirror officers dependent on assimilate, that is cool and all (direct slap in the face of entire show and all, but that just shows a lack of respect for the show now) but you are running salt on the wound when you made Mirror Data (the only officer who can activate it in 95% of pvp fights and the only one who can do it forst turn) locked behind a paywall. You have given the biggest middle finger to the majority of the entire player base who is not willing to spend 50+ bucks on the game for 1 officer. You are making ALL the officers locked being $$$ now or saving for a long time to finish the "heroic" sms.

[vivid terrace]

There is no point in offering new officers/features for Mirror universe until you improve sourcing for both Premium Rift tokens and Trillium D. It’s impossible to tier up Picard because of the ridiculous amount of Liquid Trellium D that it s required with no sensible way of sourcing. No one will be spend on further officers if there is no effective way to tier them up. The new building is pointless because it needs Liquid Trillium D as well

[still mirage]

That’s okay, in six months there will be a new officer set that has the iso cascade damage, apex reduction and/or something to re-assign the MU crew to sweeping the galley, with freeman, Lorca and worf.

[hollow blaze]

Oh pvp officers again 🤮🤮 again no reason to participate in spending slb/sms.

[wild rock]

They need to revamp the officer selection screen on the ships already.

It is getting messy as all the arc officers is making it difficult to search

[ancient sandal]

why oh why another new wave defense with a new currency new bla bla instead of just updating the existing ones

and the pvp ft is another p2w only item to widen the gap cause the 🐳 lack abilities to one shot others?

[teal wigeon]

No arc is complete without............. Another Picard.... Just what was needed

[cosmic anvil]

This constant addition of new features, complexity and time consuming loops led that many casual pve players quit or consider of doing so 😠

[wicked crescent]

Everyone remembers Scopley's moto, "quantity not quality"

[magic dove]

when will they start with it?

[pulsar venture]

my mom just quit after 5yr of playing, she had an ops 49 account, she is 73 and other real life stuff going on but she did well for her age on a game like this

[wicked crescent]

Sarcasm, re-read what I said

[glacial spruce]

They don't fix those bugs on android either. So don't feel special. 😕

[obtuse escarp]

Who finds mistakes?

[vast plinth]

Why would you give Lt. Picard a captain's ability?! He was very much not captain material and that was the point Q made.

Also, the FTs would make more sense if they swapped buffs. Agony booth should be PvP as it was used to get info for battle against enemy people. A computer panel makes more sense for the defensive abilities.

So much quantity that doesn't make sense to the franchise all year in this "year of quality over quantity". You're officially licensed, please act like it. It's all streaming, go watch the relevant episodes/movies when you get an idea. Please.

[rough belfry]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1100198695577849856/1260185035911205025/image0.jpg?ex=668e6645&is=668d14c5&hm=c0d74c25827717af700a4054b0dce9c99d3a630770654fd72e01c1ec5b98b362&

While I like the wave defense idea in general because it's a fun and engaging playstyle, I am not a fan of this expansion.

I have a hard enough time getting players for the normal WD and now we have to do it twice? Utterly ridiculous.

Scopley should have simply modified the existing WD and have it award the combined rewards.

Maybe if there was a proper queue system for WD where we could maybe do waves across all the servers to ensure player saturation for WD. But as is, this is Just another grind added with fast tracking an old one and is more quality over quality.

<@&509690795536941056>

[civic haven]

Lieutenant Picard is the new (common)M’Benga. He has easily sourceable traits. For g4+ players, his officer and captain abilities are useless. For G3- players, his officer and captain abilities are also useless. Why? Because he’s a rare officer, and they can source and max Chen and Tlaan way faster. By the time they max Lieutenant Picard, he’ll be useless to them. He should have been common. MAYBE uncommon.

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> can Scopely please reorder this store so like things are grouped together?

[trail zenith]

Why would you have the new exchanges all take liquid trellium when there's no sink for mirror dust and already several for liquid Trell?

[languid tinsel]

Has anybody found Trellium-D mining viable? I tried using mining speed crew (355%) + 75% on forbidden tech with the Selkie (41690%) and with Common Survey Trellium Mining maxed. It took almost 7 minutes to get to a Trellium-D mining system and in that 13mins that was left I was only able to mine 285k Trellium-D.

[keen loom]

I love how “player focused” the official patch note announcement today is. That said, it would appear that none of the “actual” player feedback has been taken into consideration, in any place other than content. I’d love to hear from Scopley, as to what it’s going to take to get the currently broken aspects of the game fixed. Please note, I’m not asking for excuses. I’m asking for a timeline. <@&509690795536941056>

Also, kudos for adding more types of wave hostile, without fixing (or any note of fixing) current wave play issues.

[bitter ocean]

I guess the DEVs don't want people to get to some areas of MIRROR since we NEVER get yellow rift key drops in the chests

[keen loom]

Fear not. Next month a mining ship and primes will launch to extend rift time and trellium mining speed. You know it, I know it, Scopley knows it.

[kind minnow]

lvl 42 vs 29 will be a stretch anyway already.. they already have reduced crit from their normal research, q building , and mirror research already. that extra building crit wont matter

[rough belfry]

I'm sure Scopley care deeply about my feedback and it isn't falling completely on deaf ears. Yep yep yep. /sarcasm

[hoary lynx]

Um, 1500 S31 credits to do the new waves? This is a joke, right?

[short lichen]

The fact the new building has to be level 40 before we get the mirror universe time extension is real sucky especially if this takes as long to get to level 40 say the command center. Would’ve been far better to stack it in smaller bits of adding 5 minutes per 5 levels.

[rough belfry]

the only joke is the players who keep playing...not sure why we do.

[languid tinsel]

lol so true!! I was kinda expecting it coming this arc already 🤣

[somber orchid]

Every day I ask myself that

[kind minnow]

thats a bit of a stretch.. dont do enough waves already to ever get anything from that store .. thats because waves are boring , repetative, and u hve to sit there for 10 minutes and do stuff ... people have enough mental focus to do 2 at most a night and thats that. Gotta say scopley.. this arc already gets a 1/10 before it even is live. not to mention the pvp officers of wich u need to have one maxxed or the entire bunch is useless if u use the assimilate way.

[woeful nymph]

Stop gating access with caps. We can regulate ourselves. We're not children <@&509690795536941056>

[keen loom]

Sir, it’s about the spend. You know it. I know it. Scopley knows it. It seems providing feedback on game play issues is still a net negative, we must be creative and find different avenues for voices to be heard.

[kind minnow]

not spending much anymore. keeping up with pvp requires a spend of 1k+ an arc.. its ridicilous

[bold marlin]

I remember not believing them when I read it.

All we’ve got since is more and more and more quantity, all of it distinguished by my total lack of excitement for it.

I should thank Scopely really, I’ve stoped buying anything from them now, so I’m saving the 30/40 a month I was spending on battle/flash passes since they removed officer unlocks by completing them and them alone. Don’t want to do extra events to get what I used to get from the BP alone.

[elfin root]

Up the rewards for classic waves drastically or get the heck outta here with having to buy entry to the new waves. Seriously scopely? Do one super time consuiming thing so we can go do another super time consuming thing?! You've lost whatever marbles you had left.

[sullen dust]

@keen loom 100% in agreement..... they have an agenda and we are non the wiser

[tropic crown]

Great a new type of wave something no one was asking for.

[wintry cave]

I don't know who is saying more waves but it's one of the dumbest ideas you guys have had yet. Rewards are bad, it's time consuming and generally just a terrible addition. So yeah let's add even more waves! Seriously you all are clowns...

Also - who in their right mind came up with Lt Picard? How super unfitting of the actual canon... 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[finite mural]

Many things to complain about but that officer is canon.

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/1/13/Picard%2C_lieutenant_junior_grade.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20140805224238&path-prefix=en

Did you even watch the show?

[wintry cave]

I wasn't talking about that he wasn't canon. I'm talking about how he's not a leader, he shouldn't have any leader ability and basically doesn't match the portrayal at all. I thought it was bad they didn't make Neelix the "morale officer" which was a huge miss on scopelys part. This is just a complete lack of research/understanding of the character.

[swift sphinx]

Timeline is never.

Constant new content means they purposely give themselves no time to go back and actually address the spaghetti coding that is barely holding things together in the game

They will never, I repeat, never, allow for any sort of content release downtime to actually fix anything players actually want addressed.

Enjoy the constant kludge that keeps breaking because the arc development teams never cross communicate and work off the same build.

[dusky yew]

Scoply design team does realize that they pretty much putting ALL apex shielding pvp related stuff that makes a difference in combat behind a paywall right?( rare officers and now the new FT that at a glance looks overpowered) .yeah even if light spenders to F2P wanted to engage in pvp. It will be impossible with only spenders having access to the all this apex barrier stuff. I get they want to make money but it kinda makes it hard for me to keep trying to encourage players to not hate pvp when scoply makes pvp now a paywall. At least make the crap grind able so those players see a light at the end of tunnel for pvps new meta. At least with freeman, everyone who got the BP could engage in the pvp meta they introduced that month

[cedar zodiac]

Please add a way to see which alliance members contribute to iso pulls for services.

[finite mural]

the leaderboard is there for alliance inventory, but they need to fix it.

[keen loom]

What it really boils down to, is player satisfaction driving business results vs the shiny new stuff, breaking, not functioning properly to the end user, and other general dissatisfaction of the current state.

[vast plinth]

40 is where it maxes the time boost. Scopely has taken to telling us the max boost most will never reach instead of initial boost to make paltry buffs sound worth buying

[keen loom]

Scopley will, in 4 months when they release the next PvP meta. The old metas get sources once they are less relevant. Always a lag for light spenders and the free to play. I agree a better balance is needed in timing for the later player types.

[austere reef]

The new MU Wave setup already gets a fail from me.

Wave credits - the main way to improve your wave runs are to use wave credits. …But you need (a significant chunk of) wave credits to do one MU wave… But wave credits also are the the only way to improve Facade, source Carol Freeman, strike team officers, source Commander traits for Sloan. Also one of the few ways to get dolamide.

Rather than add a second cypher, that forces people to do the first wave to do the second wave, why not just make the cost of the new waves 150 regular cyphers? That way, you add a premium cost and tinge of scarcity without having an added time component just to access the new content.

[tepid valve]

Ummm…, why are there Repair refits for g5 unc and epic ships, but not the Rares? 🤔🤷‍♂️

[jaunty prism]

Holy crap, is this the most pay-to-win ever in one update?

[elfin minnow]

This is garbage, I already unlocked this. Put it back to regular coins.

[finite mural]

if you're referring to the rep

it's still there

Nothing was removed

[elfin minnow]

Look at the coins, they moved it to the new mirror coins instead of the old wave coins.

[finite mural]

No, it still uses the old credits, there are two entries. you posted the first one, i posted the original that is at the bottom. Again, nothing was removed.

[cursive gale]

If these new Mirror Waves used the old directives, this might not be such a bad thing, but this is yet more Quantity over Quality

[wary citrus]

@tidal notch <@&509690795536941056> WHY WHY do you not want us to play your game??? Now we have to grind even more normal WD just to be able to play in the MUWD? and 1 start every 3 days ????????????????????? what is with every 3 days crap? LETS US PLAY your game.... you add all these nice new stuff but will take FOREVER to aquire........ WHY

[elfin minnow]

Ah, well at leasts it just crappy UI design.

[strong hill]

Content sux a big fat ....

[wary citrus]

how about section 31 and section 31 MU tabs? or ability to sort Also, why does everything in the MU takes liquid D, just cause some people have extra??? which is not alot because once people need to spend on leveling up 5 MU officers and all these pulls?? that is insane, you think some crappy daily pull from a building that im sure will take 20 years to level will help?

[heavy bridge]

Another event store...456 this is getting annoying.

[dusky onyx]

You all should know by now that Scopely is not interested in what you want. They just want their web store to go cha Ching cha Ching cha Ching.

[exotic wave]

@tidal notch you didn't post about it in patch notes - but take the win for INCREASING token mirror voucher limit from existing 900

[ripe thicket]

For a mini store event, it is great to see a FC seat unlock and the ion particle but for the ftp crowd, how realistic is it to aquire them?

Would you PLEASE add the really useful items like the feengi whip, other FT and other artifacts to the event store. And other skins that players can really use/need?

Eviscerator bp. Binary cutter, section 31 refit, all the old beams, relentless assualts for ships that are not automatically unlocked, Glas skin. Thinks that would drastically improve the quality of life game.

[unreal sierra]

They won't give a thing for free, just pay them. These people run a brain dead addiction game. None of you would play if your emotions weren't manipulated by scopely looking to make you feel like you are missing out.

Skip.STFC Buy a house with the money instead

[hoary linden]

Whoever thinks that an Ion Particle is worth 360k loot doesn't know the game. 360k loot for a damage increase most players will not notice at all is a trap at best

[ripe thicket]

It is for the players that have everything else....as far as I know, this is the first time this has been offered. The whales will spend the money to buy it to have everything unlocked

[hoary linden]

whales have already most likely bought it long ago. There are packs for it on occasion

[torpid cargo]

I cant see the event store yet, so I'm not sure what's in there. From the write up posted though, I do not hate what is coming out this arc. I like wave defense and welcome more. I like one of the new FT's coming out. Officers seem good (not sure about that Lt. Picard though). Looks good to me.... but lets see how it rolls out.

[cursive gale]

180k for the FC Commander Unlock, if they do they do 300k+ then it will be doable for some F2P players to get maybe. But day one and the only events are a SMS with 6k and an SLB. The Battlepass doesn't even have event store loot

[ripe thicket]

So let me get this straight. Players are asking for a reduction in the grinds and the answer this month is a building that will increase the amount of time you can grind in mirror space! And they added mirror waves. So you can spend 15 minutes doing a normal wave so you can then buy the credits to do a mirror wave and spend another 15 minutes in that one.

How are you benefitting the overall game health? You keep adding and take nothing away. And no, I do not consider the mirror efficient exchanges an improvement in quality of game life because you have to spend MORE TIME grinding the trellium D and doing the daily conversion that you get from grinding these dailies out. And let's face it, the 300k actian venom is a slap in the face. The voyager is a little better (need more commerce insignia) and the stella one....who needs faction when it is maxed? The stella particles are nice but the week long cooldown makes it pointless when you can build and scrap several stella a week. All these should give more than enough for max pulls dailies. Or max pulls for everything needed once maxed out.

If you want to improve quality of life, add the newer grinds to some quick loops or even better, combine several into one like the freebooters (and add the faction allegiance daily to it already....and add 61 freebooters to the lower system so players not 61+ can finish daily grinds at higher factions please.

[exotic wave]

well grind wise all I see is that they added 1 extra wave every 3 days - potentially 15 more mins, whilst through the mirror universe effiency bundles in refine section the opportunity to speed up 3 more loops - should be a net reduction in grind time

[opaque raft]

I am missing both Pretender Throne mission chains in holodeck. Should have those. Why are they missing?

[ripe thicket]

Here is a good suggestion for you, since you have speciality ships on the mirror waves, why not add the rewards to them as well. Finish wave 3, single pull. Wave 6 for double and wave 9 for triple. For each one. That way players can run a few waves and complete several grinds. Or if that is too much, drop the rewards so that each wave is 20% of a normal pull. So finish wave 10 is not a double but you can run a few and do multi pulls or just rub a wave and get what you need for all. This would allow players to just focus on a couple aspects that would allow them to grow everything but not so fast. And if they do the grinds, they grow faster!

[gritty stirrup]

@tidal notch I wana congratulate all Scopely team for FINALY get an arc with a REAL source for the new Rare officer. I fell its low amounts but we coming fron 1 year with ZERO rare shards source of curent rare officers (we used to get T1 for free and T2 is work hard+Bpass).

[uneven night]

Seriously what the heck…. Don’t we have enough stuff to grind? We went from improving things to making it worse. We went from fixing the games and making it all about quality to ignoring and adding more junk. Why not just cut to the chase and push the entire player base away

[dusky plover]

Again thanks for nothing sco, oooh a hole 5% time in mirrors space where you can mine Trilliam A and D on fast nodes, oh heat buy the way, we will lock the mining to ops lvl so the middle lvl50 players can’t mine enough as they don’t have a miner with a fast enough speed to make it worth while

[tepid valve]

No NX01 BP in the Event Store, yet there’s parts for it 🤦‍♂️👎

Nvm, it’s there for those who haven’t built it yet 😅

[dusky plover]

Waste of time the new build as it provides nothing useful for the players in middle lvls who have maxed out research through hard work and can’t get enough raw tralliam well done great release and game design. Take the ops lock off the mining research allow people,a chance to get enough trilliam at least

[glass horizon]

Turn the hostile speed down a bit in the MU waves.

[pale whale]

The list of things I do in this game is now smaller than the list of things I don't do. I have no idea how many of the new mechanics work, nor do I want to find out.
You should go back to quality over quantity.

[cedar zodiac]

More pvp officers for spend events that are not attractive at all to the majority of players. And scopley wonders why people hold on to RSS and mats and currencies. 🤷

At this rate, all lvl 49 to 50 will stay there as officers are useless and slb brackets make it pointless to progress.

[coarse sundial]

whats the readeam code?

[finite mural]

not out yet, still got an hour

[cedar zodiac]

Easy way forward. Announce events using older currencies in time, such as FC or artifacts.
Add older useful officers to spend events such as E-crew or Hugh that are useful on a daily basis to engage people. No one is falling for the pvp bs that is broken anyways.

[livid stone]

There is no pvp in this game. Once you are able to come to terms with that fact, you no longer try to "compete" with others in STFC. True pvp has some requirements, at least to me, where there is somewhat equitable power banding, there is risk in every engagement, and the real kicker is that its opt-in for almost every other game out there. Blasting miners and pve crews with your pvp setup is not engaging content. STFC's pvp mechanic is designed solely for two reasons: To placate griefers/whales and to encourage massive amounts of rage spend.

Plenty of players I respect like pvp in this game, and more power to them, but make no mistake - it is not ever going to be a competitive environment where any kind of skill or luck comes into play. The only way to "win" pvp in the game is to spend more than the next guy. The real way to win is to acknowledge that the pvp in STFC is not worth the effort and ignore it for the most part. Of course recent arcs make it harder to ignore and easier to walk away completely 🙂

[cedar zodiac]

Exactly. Why even more pvp officers will not encourage engagement or spending at all. Fundamentally broken and pointless. Even on servers with pvp friendly roe, it's pointless. No matter the pvp officers or FT thrown at us.

Must be boring to have all the officers, primes and FT anyways by now as it's lonely to have no real incentive.

[tidal notch]

We should have mentioned that!

[tidal notch]

Copy that! I was happy to see the rare officer sourcing too!

[cedar zodiac]

There is nothing that builds on the previous arc - new building, new wave, new currency. Nothing to further the new research tree so far. Nothing to aim towards. It's awful.

[placid dome]

A more new building. It never ends.

[severe wren]

Any reason ware Mirror Data is limited to 40 shards and Pelia has no seen limits? 👀

[tropic crown]

They never did quality.

[livid thunder]

Niiiiiiiiiccceeeeee

[dire lynx]

It's time to call this game exactly what it is, Star Trek Greed Grab, there is so much stuff I need to do from all the other stuff they've added, no way I can keep up, now more stuff (with tons of lag, errors & glitches), in Canada, alot of the store offers are aroound $170.00!! aboslutely no way I am paying that for ANY game, let alone Star Trek, I play the game at MY pace, and have ALWAYS & WILL BE a TRek fan, but enough is enough

[frigid swift]

Is it time to split the Ultra recuit pack? It's going to take forever to unlock anything in there is the new additionas.

[dire lynx]

Perfect Example...constanly for over an hour, everything except reinstall done

[gaunt island]

Dont you just love it when others get the treasury and you dont get it again

[coarse sundial]

ok gone to websotre but can not find code?

[finite mural]

If you tried restarting and clearing your localization?

[dire lynx]

as stated AT, everything EXCEPT reinstall, I'm on a PC

[shell steppe]

Can we please have ISS Jellyfish in the event store!

[pale whale]

I was trying not to be too negative, but yes, you're correct.

[smoky marsh]

why can I still buy reputation when I have reputation maxed??? I didn't notice I had maxed it and bought a few extra days worth...

[strange iron]

@tidal notch I have lost 5k of normal wave credits to be replaced by 30 wave credits. Why did they get wiped out please?

[tidal notch]

Can you ping support and see what happened to those wave credits?

[wooden spire]

Blah blah blah blah. Years of the same moaning about the same things. Scopely’s methods work, you know how I know - you’re in here moaning but still playing the game and some still spending money on it. Your methods don’t work, for the same reason given above. Scopely is winning, you aren’t. They make money. Lots of it.

Unless you can overcome the conditioning and quit the game, shurrup and buy some more packs. Seriously, think about it.

[dire lynx]

Typical, egomaniac, with pockets full of cash, you do your thing, I'll do mine

[oblique hawk]

I see the new waves are just like the old waves garbage first click crash fix your game Scopley stop adding more garbage

[keen loom]

Because the servers can’t handle the previously released wave content. Let alone the new more than once every 3 days per player.

[toxic coyote]

The 'efficiencies' this month are pointless, they are already in ex-borg. An efficiency for xindi or wave defenses would be welcome as both take a lot of grind to progress. The lag gets worse each month with new loops and new features, quantity over quality as always

[tropic crown]

A retrieving chest!

[torpid cargo]

If you click it while it says retrieving you only get 100 diodes for the holodeck missions. If you wait for retrieving to go away you get......the same things....lol

[charred mason]

Scopely you are the usual instead of improving the old things continue to add more and more for the big and paying games

[trim citrus]

The Mantis efficiency from the mirror refinery seems under tuned. 20k actian venom is less than half of one kill in the 49 zone. Syndicate rep is nice, but it doesn't compare to the ex borg store.

Was this released with the proper values?
20k venom, 2500 syndicate, 2k hull fragments compared to 584k venom in borg store.

[lilac yew]

Lie lie lie. Grind grind grind. garbage developers, garbage company, continued loss of players…. By the way, if your not going to allow a comment based on your denying people their constitutional rights, at least fix it so it does not count against your stupid slowmode…

Unless you planning on giving sub level 40 players the additional promotion awards when they hit 40, I suggest you give them to them now.. stop discriminating against people who don’t want to spend money on game

[mossy sparrow]

Since the reset there has been insane lag across the galaxy. Ships are not where they display. It's like the screen is just refreshing every 3 or 4 seconds. It makes the new waves almost impossible.

[past sandal]

Anyone having login issues

[gaunt birch]

because of your dam maintance , you kicked me out of game and i was attacked on mineing and i've lost over 300k iso. and 100k green data plus ship kills because i couldn't log back in four 9 hours wtf scopley

[sacred crane]

Yes, some people in my alliance are reporting issues after update.

[tranquil ermine]

@tidal notch since your following feedback, can we get TAL in store? Our server has yet to get him (server 704)

[lilac yew]

There are always issues, no urgency to fix, and many don’t warrant a fix cause foos keep spending

[tidal notch]

Oof. I can try, but Tal might be tricky.

[tranquil ermine]

Other servers have him. We are hardcore bored and ready to ascend. Half the server refuses to go above 24 cause all the big kids are at 39. Some with multiple epics. Maxed out section 31 rep. Like its hatdcore boring at this point lol.

[lilac yew]

Spend more money - they’ll look your servers direction.

[tranquil ermine]

Lol. We have a player who bought every prime. We also had a player get bored and quit. He had ops39 and all 3 epics maxed in the first 2 week. Money spending isnt an issue on our server

[silk gazelle]

This lag on server 21 is absolutely unbearable.

[tranquil ermine]

If ascension isnt possible due to our stats, can we request a merge? Servers going stale. Log on. Do events. Log off.

Wars last like 6 hours in most cases. We have 1 troll-ish player who just hunts miners of 1 specific alliance he doesnt like. Like sim city buildit has more action than 704 lol

[silk gazelle]

The past week has been horrible for lag. They need to give us 30 days of the premium chests

[tidal notch]

Pinging you in Dm

[soft vigil]

Gene Roddenberry is rolling over in his grave.

[willow raven]

Why isn’t this being upvoted? These are completely valid points and salient arguments. Scopely should listen.

[old seal]

The maintenance was known well in advance. You let your pixels die and gifted another player. Only yourself to blame.... thoughts and prayers to the brave mining crews.😂😂

[bold marlin]

At least I don’t have to waste time going after the new officers, precisely zero interest in PvP in a game without balanced PvP. It’s like going up against the Minotaur with a flick knife.

[livid pasture]

Where’d the pull chances for ultras go? You get rid of the full pulls?

[severe bridge]

😂 👌

[stark lintel]

Speaking of Tal, haven't seen any sourcing on him in ages, whether it be $ packs or otherwise.

[livid pasture]

Constitution only states the government can’t limit your speech 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

[magic sedge]

Cleary the Mirror Universe Waves are not for general ops 40. there is no way I can get close on the first event to kill 30 there

[opaque pelican]

Getting sick of rogue player(s). Not following ROE and destroying mining ships UPC with no consequences. Makes me play less since its annoying. Unfortunately Getting to the point where I’m ready to delete the game since there is no recourse.

[finite mural]

bring it up on your server discord, has nothing to do with this discord

[woeful nymph]

<@&509690795536941056> Please remove the requirement of the original wave credits to redeem for the new wave credits. I've spent all my wave currency on Sloan and forcing us to feed 1 wave to another is bad design and overcomplicated. Just make it a drip with no previous wave requirement. This is needlessly limiting the access to the new waves while forcing us to slow progression on the previous wave store items

[livid pasture]

ROE is a player construct. It is a choice to abide by it or not. Declining to follow it is a perfectly acceptable playstyle. If too many people in your server choose to not play by it, maybe make following it more appealing. Or just don’t follow it yourself, it’s a pain anyways.

[bold marlin]

I second this. They should be in the mirror refinery.

Just got my free mirror ciphers. Tried it, immediately killed. Level 38 hostiles my eye!!!!!!

My completing the events to get the 180k chits for the FC slot is impossible. Well done Scopely. Does it take practice to be this inept or a lack of quality control.

[karmic escarp]

Lag lag lag and more lag. Almost impossible to play this MOBILE game on ios

[woeful nymph]

I had zero wave currency coming into this new thing due to trying to invest in Sloan. Now I have to toss that aside in order to do this new loop, and now take time to do the other waves first....repeatedly. Urgh. This is not good. I want to do the new stuff, but you've shackled it to the old stuff and hamstrung everything in the original wave loop.

[sullen matrix]

Man, the amount of value scopely sees in somethings are just .. mind blowingly off.

500 Barrier Refit for the Pilum: 600k Credits
Thats 5% Damage reduction for a Liver.

360k Credits for 20% Base damage against a specific Shiptype (Ion Particle)... wtf XD

[rough belfry]

The WD would have been so much better if Scopely would have simply modified the existing waves.

A rotation of hostiles in WD would have been neat. It would mean the WD was more dynamic. The strategy would need to be updated every so often. They could have even changed the positions of hostiles spawning.

And there was no need for different rewards. Just stick with the S31 credits.

[haughty sail]

But that would mean competent design rather than mirror waves as a copy paste including spawn points but just change the hostiles a bit.

[keen star]

Where are the refits for Rare ships? Seems kinda dumb to just have it for uncommon and epic ships.

[woeful nymph]

Or...they could have just used the same entry currency

[rough belfry]

I know, silly me for expecting competence from Scopely.

[livid pasture]

I did my first g5 wave a couple days ago and was surprised the pattern was identical. Same pattern, same surveys spawn points, everything.

[rough belfry]

Don't get me started on that trash loop. How many steps is it?
1, claim normal WD entry tokens, earn S31 credits
2, trade in excess credits (as if normal players have any! Ha) for Mirror WD entry tokens, earn Mirror credits
3, trade in excess Mirror credits (again, ha! Not likely) for S31 credits
4, buy MUWD entry tokens...rinse and repeat...

All that is just trash loop grinding. Not Quality but more Quantity.

[tranquil ermine]

#🤝-help-each-other message

Can we get a "holodeck" section added to stfc.space?

[woeful nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/avril-lavigne-gif-9619884

[narrow scarab]

Really disappointed that again all new content is for players over lvl 40. Yeah I can do it at my lvl but why have scopley stopped caring about newer and returning players? They add new mu waves calling them g4 and g5 we do still have g3 players you don't care about. Waves were always too hard for them for no reason whatsoever even in the lvl 40 ones you need a good g5 ship to get decent rewards. Why can't you add waves that are level 30 where players can feel involved just killing traders for big players they don't its like they are the smelly dog nobody loves anymore it's disgusting but hey that's dopley

[obtuse prawn]

anyone else having issues with the promo code? I can't sign in to scopely site - I put my email in and click continue, there's a brief circle as the button turns light grey, then back to blue

[livid pasture]

Because g3 players have 4 years worth of content to play and don’t need more…?

[narrow scarab]

Lvl 40+ its Alterego lvl 1-39 its Reflection

[obtuse prawn]

yes, but I can't get to that stage. It won't let me get past the stage where it prompts for my email

[primal sierra]

I'm not able to collect with redeem code Reflection. It tells me that I'm not eligible.

[finite mural]

Reflection is for 39 or lower, AlterEgo is for 40+

[mild cobalt]

How many players is this game losing a month to make it so every update we just get is just more UI updates we don't want that make them more time consuming to navigate through and more features that just waste everyone's time to increase the time online metrics. Replacing an hour of old loops with a 2-4 hour a day online requirement just to do the bare minimum of all the new stuff is not what was promised at last year's end road map.

[molten topaz]

Would be awesome to have more mirror wave starts, harder than the regular and different so takes time for everyone to learn

[livid pasture]

Had a gift of 5. Not the 15 from normal waves, but we’re not starting from scratch this time (we know the basic mechanics and patterns).

[still sequoia]

This is BS I’m not in any way going to be able to beat this guy.

[quaint haven]

Except they made 40s basically useless. A 40/41 is gonna have to coattail a bunch of high 50s more than once to hit the sms

[willow raven]

Literally nobody asked for harder waves

[livid pasture]

I don’t mind. They’d gotten boring.

[midnight pilot]

What they did was force people to do wave defence new to get new content, because old wd was just so useless.
And top it all off they just copy pasted hostiles in, so to kill texas class ships in waves you lose your shield, and xindi aquatic just go home cannon on 4th shot.
But nm ops 56+ with t7 g5 rare it's easy

[queen creek]

lol wait, i just completed one of the new quest lines and got 1 trait xp, hope i dont spend it all in one place. @tidal notch

[primal sierra]

I am lvl 32, and still can't get Reflection. It says I am not eligible. It is not right. I'm not happy with not being able to get something I'm supposed to get

[finite mural]

check to see if you actually got it, it's 5 kira shards and make sure you're spelling it right, no spaces

[fallen wasp]

I have to be honest. Already it's hard to find time to commit to all of the different grinds, currencies, events etc. Each arc adding a new currency, new ship/officer to chase, new loops, new requirements... All it's really doing is adding time requirements that I just don't feel like trading in anymore. I know what they want is to have people spend money to be able to spend less time grinding but I can't see paying more to temporarily escape new time sinks that get added every month. I wouldn't think this should feel like a full time job for the f2p groups. Playing this for years is just costing more and more of my life... And the content (more and more) is no longer worth the cost.

[full gate]

LESS CONTENT. MORE STABILITY. STILL GETTING LAG.

[still sequoia]

I’m like 1/10 his power

[finite mural]

Has nothing to do with this discord

[atomic harbor]

The strength of the hostiles in these new waves is crazy stupid ... I swear scopely you are trying to get more and more players to quit each month even more than you are trying to get players to spend.

[tough abyss]

I just did a mission and part of the reward was 1 single trait XP. What the heck are you going to do with just 1? Scopely couldn’t afford to give more. It takes thousands to upgrade anything 😂

[finite mural]

It's being looked into

[queen creek]

don't spend it all in one place, obv

[echo sable]

lol

[quaint haven]

Sure it does, a 50+ in a quality game wouldn’t be able to smash a player nearly 20 levels lower. Outside of incursions they need to scale back punching down big time as it’s a huge downside for players

[queen creek]

game has been out for 5 years now, they havent changed it yet. they want whales to feel powerful and punch down

[vivid mauve]

Hi. “Constitutional Rights” do not apply to private companies. If you are going to cite something, you should make sure you know what you are talking about.

[flint shuttle]

Massive lag eu164 this morning

[flint shuttle]

I can't see anything obvious there?

[charred mason]

Even worse, instead fixing the game and finally removing the old things that are no longer used, for example renewing some events that are now too old, the rewards released by the reds, the possibility of exchanging ship parts that are no longer needed as (khera, Vahklas, Kumari), the ability to have ship parts in the event to upgrade ships with 4* and above requires many uncommon, rare, etc. ship parts. Instead you continue to add more and more things to do every day, having to spend more and more time on the game and also making them more and more difficult, you are making the game only for paying players and for players from level 56 above. Shame on you

[slate nacelle]

now this game has become pure rubbish, the developers think that players are brain-damaged with a credit card in their hand, they have set up the game and a model of toxic addiction, the sole fact that just to open all the various chests implies a daily commitment more than 30 minutes and madness, to do all the events and the various daily kills that allow you to progress such as probes, actiano, silenti, xindi, gorn etc. etc. implies another 4/5 hours, then in addition WD, WD more 5 other types of armies and all the events add more hours of gameplay, the developer's stupid aim is to make life difficult for the player so that he is led to swipe his credit card because either he can't follow the game or has it easier in the game by swiping your credit card. your level of ineptitude as a developer is equal to the level of a demo game, you have the imagination of a 90 year old

and I add that if at the moment I can spend 10 hours a day playing, even if I spend the bare minimum I must have the possibility of getting close to a player who plays 2 hours a day and swipes his credit card 5 times more than me and it's at the same level as me, otherwise the game has no reason to exist. the game cannot be based only on those who swipe their credit card €1000 a week, otherwise you put a Bell notice when registering the game and you only keep the players who swipe €1000 a week and you're all happy. those who play 10 hours a day must be rewarded as happens in all competitions

this story arc, dear developer, you can throw it down the toilet, I won't even make a new wave, unless I have time left over, I won't even buy any of the extra content, and now that you understand that players are not a bunch of brainless sheep to suck blood from like a fat tick. wake up, otherwise the next step of many players will be to degrade this game to the level of a pastime like building myself villas, a game where you spend time while waiting for the train at the station and where it is not worth spending a €

[flint shuttle]

So you're not a fan of the new update

[acoustic geyser]

Can I please for a moment give some constructive feedback on the pricing of the Meridian blueprints in the territory store in the latest update. By the looks of things, for a full ship, a FTP player, would need to spend 750k iso-emulsion to get all the blueprints for the ship, which is a lot, when you kinda need the ship in the first place to mine enough needed and or get better value from the store / refinery.

Could the costs be kindly reviewed downwards a tad?

I'm aware one other sourcing exists, which is the event store, which is fine once in a while but for something that feels needed, I feel the costs are a little high.

[pale garnet]

you should never have grouped 2 different sizes of hostiles together for silents, 1 size can be done , usually the lower size, the higher can rarely be done and your left waiting for up to 10 mins at a time for re-spawns of the lower size, at which you are having to compete against other ships just to reach it first, then another up to 10 min wait, whoever thought this idea up was totally demented or high

[raw fiber]

@midnight pilot just want to clarify, the texas hostiles in WD don't lower a player's shield if they're attacked

[vast nest]

Could you please clarify with the devs why they added harder waves nobody asked for? Don't see myself, at ops 53 having the time or will to do events this month. More grind is not what we want and have made that fairly clear and yet nobody seems to actually listen that makes content.

[errant brook]

@raw fiber Will there be some kind of announcement why there ain't no G5 Rare Ships (Sanctus, Quv, Crozier) available for Field Repairs (yet)?

[tropic crown]

If it not type exactly right it won’t take it. I copied and pasted what they had typed.

[raw fiber]

Are the field repairs a hit? Based on your feedback, we might add more options.

[errant brook]

• There is a Quantum Event and scoring is only possible for OPS56 - OPS59 Players when they "upgrade" outdated ships.
• The field repair might come in handy for Mirror Universe or Silent Hostile Grinding

[rough belfry]

Now that I have a fair amount of Liquid D...I don't know what to spend it on.

1. The NX-01 crew is blah and not worth the exchange.
2. The holodeck mats is OK because the normal drip is so slow but I don't like the exchange rate so that's out.
3. The tokens rss are also blah. Some may like it but it's worthless to me.
4. The FT exchange could be good but I only want the tier up catalyst. But the exchange rate has me hesitating.
5. The rift keys may be useful if low, but I seem to have a stockpile for now.
6. The new efficiencies are a waste. I'm all but done with the Stella grind, my Voyager is cap and I don't struggle at all with mining since I have over 100 tokens, my Mantis is also capped and I simply use the XB store to get what I need anyways since those credits are easier to source. The Syndicate exp in that chest is sort of useful but the exchange rate is trash.
7. The mirror dust exchange seems useful for now but I'm not excited for it.
8. The MU officers require Liquid D to tier but I have exactly 0 of those officers and there is 0 sourcing for now.

All in all the entire Mirror Universe arc and grind just seems like a lot of effort for nothing of value.

[steep socket]

Well I would like to thank the new building for allowing me to fill my miner in a ridiculous low amount of time but this does nothing to fix what we complained about last month and still will be this month.. it did not reduce the amount of heads down time impulsing from rift to rift which is a complete WASTE OF TIME.

As for waves… we want less heads down time so you gave us more.. the variation in the waves is meaningless change.. you could have left the same wave systems.. and just added the rewards or made the rewards as options.. you can choose to start the wave with which currency deciding your reward.. this way people will not necessarily force people to choose which wave to go for

[vapid swallow]

@everyone Anyone around for the MU wave? Got on my lunch and hope to complete it for event currency

[vapid swallow]

Who the ‘h.ell’ made these new MU waves? You’re living in coo coo land. I can’t even get past level 2 and can’t complete the event store event with the meagre amount of starts. Absolute waste of time, effort and why should I stick around spending money in this game??

[slate nacelle]

@flint shuttle not only does this update suck, but it is totally useless, you no longer have to add things to do if you want people to continue playing, even last month you launched an update that made the game even more cumbersome and lacking in stimulation. for a player it's not a job, it's just a hobby and you still don't think about the players but you are very good at putting packs in the store, and to justify this, you implement updates that the player wants to save time or get to in a short time at an acceptable level of play you have to buy packages of €100, you should be intelligent enough to understand that this technique cannot go on indefinitely because the playing time, as I have already underlined previously, has become too much, to the point that it is better to stop of playing. unless you think we're just a flock of sheep holding a credit card

[somber orchid]

Why so many ship parts in bp kinda puts me off buying it

[rough belfry]

I know this may seem trivial and it's old content that's been around forever, bit I strenuousaly object to having this sort of requirement in a mission at ops 46. I know how to move my base but I like it where it is and don't want to go thru the effort to move just to immediately move it back.

This shouldn't have ever been made into a requirement for a mission and there should be some sort of work around.

[young ibex]

1 Trait XP? ONE? Really?! That's ridiculous and useless.

[slate nacelle]

psicologia scopely: e vero, un solo tratto e ridicolo, lo fanno apposta, c'è una semplice soluzione nel negozio a soli 100€ 🤣🤣🤣, ormai sono diventati estremamente banali e prevedibili, la soluzione e sempre nel negozio

[shell jungle]

for me, the game has become more unstable since it was stabilized.... so, uh, cool

[cosmic basin]

The game requires to much time and waves there are to many bugs or crashes scopley have no intention of fixing as they set up compo tab and players should not accept this

[stiff umbra]

waves on Server 32 are laggy… Still 👍

[ripe thicket]

Are you all going to give players several attempts at mirror waves. The first waves are WAY to fast. And players don't know them yet or the crews. It is frustrating to not be able to finish events that should be easy

[finite mural]

You get a set from each of the missions in the section 31 store, you get a set from the AlterEgo code and you have the 3 day claim.

Mu wave defense spawns sometimes hirogen hunter ships in group of imperial battleships (its mixed). Also special hostiles are little to op

[tropic crown]

When was it ever stabilized?

[brazen ledge]

It seems that special hostiles in wd is "mission hostiles"

[random berry]

How to get event currency from the mirror waves with OPS40? Seriously now? Such a ridiculous game mechanic! Playing is no fun

[torpid cargo]

If you are struggling with the new waves, then you may want to check out the favors from the old waves. I have a feeling that a lot of folks who are complaining about the strength of the MU wave hostiles, also complained and didn't do the original waves either (for what ever reason). If you have spent time the last 6 months on the old waves that have been out, actually doing them and getting the wave favors, then the new waves are not as difficult.

[bright flicker]

It isn't really the favors that matter in these waves for those under ops 51. Since the specialty ships required for the hostiles all level lock till 51 any mid 40s will be rendered useless a few waves in whether they have the favors or not. The bottom line is a wave defense mechanic doesn't work in this game. It isn't fun and none of the rewards or systems incentivise participation

[kindred sphinx]

Lots of players hate waves, to the point that it is tough on our server (over 1000 active players) to fill waves, even during busier times. Lots of players didn't really like the 20 minute mirror grind, to the point that when I do go in there for my daily plunge, I barely see another ship (again on a 1000+ active player server).

Scopely's answer? We will do mirror waves, AND add a building that increases time in mirror space with each plunge. I mean, how disconnected from the player experience can you be? Really?!

[rancid maple]

Low 40s still benefit from event currency. If you are OPS 39 you just have to kill hostiles. As an OPS 40 you are stuck with the mirror waves event.
An event that requires killing of hostiles in waves not even just participating as a 'freighter mascot' and getting carried.
So with low 40s you are out of luck.

[tropic crown]

Pay out for event store credit suck yet again.

[flint shuttle]

I mean it's nowt to do with me. Just a casual player. Was just making a sarcastic joke tbh.

[junior sierra]

game jumped the shark when borg miners came out [ funny im still here, but im sick in the head ]. Its absolutely nutz now. 20 days for mission key hunter is honestly mean. its really hard especially when traveling. 20 days for 1 epic shard. are you kidding me. not even going to talk about quantum or the rise in p2p events. daily claims take over 20 min. its ridiculous

[slate nacelle]

Do we want to talk about how much it costs to increase critical hit damage during a wave defense at level 4? in practice you have to do 13 waves with a 10/10 result to get the necessary credits, practically impossible, and already lucky to do 1 or 2 a day. counting the daily s31 credits that you spend every day the achievement will be impossible unless there is a package, right?

[tropic crown]

Borg miners that the thing that jumped the shark?

[grizzled cove]

But... but... whales eat plankton!

[vocal pollen]

I do not think it is great to use the same currency that I need to get stronger in wave defenses also for getting entry vouchers for the mirror universe wave defenses. In addition it just does not feel great that I have to do wave defenses just to enter another wave defense … give these out as a free claim instead and let players decide which wave defenses they like to do.

[dim hemlock]

Heres a thought since we can't get arc credits from anything but waves..... give us some cyphers

[kindred sphinx]

Agree 💯 %. Would be better to make the Mirror wave ciphers 'free drop per day' like the regular wave ciphers. I don't get the reasoning having to do a regular wave (or in my case 2-3 regular waves) just to get enough regular credits to buy a pack of Mirror Wave cyphers just to do ANOTHER wave.

[rough belfry]

yep, completely asinine loop.

[fluid mist]

lets not forget that they claim it doesnt take hours to do things in game yet the new mu wave content if you're not sitting on tons of reg waves currency means just to run a new wave your looking at roughly 15 minutes just to do the 3 reg waves to start getting rdy for a new wave

[runic patrol]

250 points short because of your unstable game when does the "quality" kick in?

[fluid mist]

then add refines daily chests dailies bp events mirrior runs gorn grinding silent hostiles xindi grinding monaveen grinding. Yes some of these ya can send to system and walk away but others ya have to actively ingage in thats time in game just for specialty grinds then there is players who grind rep for the next lock or for the broken parts to refine for ship parts for the ship that takes thousands of refined parts list can just keep going. i spend 2hrs a day on this game and to keep a steady pace id need to triple that at least. So that would mean 6hrs +8hrs for job thats 14/24 hrs is done well i sleep 8hrs a day so your telling me i have 2hrs of me time to wind down relax spend time with family eat shop for groceries and all that kinda stuff i dont get paid to play. If I have to spend almost same amount of time in game as i do my actual job i should quit work and you can pay my wage cause 2 jobs on 1 job earning aint enough by far. Ok my rants done cause scopley wont change no matter how much any of us spend. Keep up the great work scopley and we'll see how active your game is in a few months. Its no threat just pointing out a trend that your refusing to acknowledge.

[kindred sphinx]

I realize I have given almost all negative feedback lately. However, I want to recognize Scopely for actually including a rare event officer unlock in the Elite BP this month, and also the AMAZING offer for the FC slot unlock in the event store. That is essentially a FREE unlock for something previously only available in a $99 pack. THANK YOU!

[violet dock]

Well it's 'free' if you pay for enough currency to do the MU waves if you're below ops 45.

[cosmic knoll]

agreed, no current prediction on how much currency anyone will earn (without money) to be able to say that with confidence.
the fact its there is nice, but if its one of these bullys special prizes... 'look at what you could of won' tricks ... it will be another low blow.

[pale socket]

Not sure what they're smoking at Scopely HQ these days, but I wouldn't mind some

[dim hemlock]

Too bad you wont get any arc credits to buy that cool stuff with. No cyphers and a 3 day cooldown means you’re not gonna afford anything since you can’t do waves without buying them. EPIC FAIL

[plush trout]

Don't thank them for giving something they took away earlier. Thank them when they deliver more quality of life changes

[quaint haven]

Know when the free rare officer would have been nice? Last freaking month

[harsh valve]

If you have any kind of OCD - don't look in the Resources and Materials section of the Event Store 🤢

[junior sierra]

FC slot is so good I prob wont get any of the rare officers 🤣 . That is if we get 180K with full participation [ pretty sure they said its possible ] Both of those rare officers we got peanuts for when they came out. I might actually be enticed by a 50$ resistance chit pack which is im sure what they are counting on.

[hollow ridge]

There’s a lot of complaining, but I don’t do Stella anymore. I don’t do swarm. I don’t do factions. I don’t mine data, or latinum. I don’t grind actian or Borg probes. I don’t do voyager anymore. I grind gorn, silent every few days, freebooters daily and mirror every 2-3 days. Xindi cheese means I burn tokens every few weeks and hunt surveys once or twice a week. If I don’t do max pulls I spend most of my time clicking all the refineries. Monaveen grinds for me when I’m not online. More of my time in game is optional than before.

[plush trout]

I have given up on many old loops as well, anything I can do that involves 1 grind session for a week of pulls is fine with me. Faction grinding? If I have time lol I'm not worried about it

[nova sierra]

Hey scopley can server 93 finally get a merge?

[hollow ridge]

I just do a max pull in exborg once a week for most of the older grinds. It’s great

[muted sparrow]

Fix the game. This is happening every 15 seconds. Wow!

[plush trout]

Ex borg was the best thing they added

[zinc terrace]

How exactly will we be able to get enough store credit with sms events earning 6000 a day to get the FC slot?

[civic totem]

Yes it was, shame they added so much more since that it's impossible to keep up. It would be so much better if ther was a way to play this game without spending Money or spending at least 18 hours a day trying to do everything to progress

[hollow ridge]

You probably are doing things wrong, or below ops 38. Get to ops 38 and do all the ex Borg research. Slam scopely all you want, they factually have provided lots of options to spend less time doing more.

[quaint haven]

The ones at 38 shave 2 loops off, they’ve added more than that in the last 2 months

[civic totem]

I really don't agree with this, I have limited time on the game and even with research its impossible to do everything with the constant additions every month. This game used to be Free to Play now it's Pay to Play. Especially with the forced PVP. As a players that hate PVP I have found in the last few months it's impossible to complete events or do dailies because as having low powered ships I'm constantly hit by big players supposely doing the PVP events. Except 99% of the time they finished the event hours before I'm hit.

[opal crane]

Question for the Devs.... are any of you actually G4 players? Do any of you actually play the game? *On an account that hasn't been inflated by Scopely

By Scopely's own words... you're calling these waves 'G4'... but can a team of G4 players finish them? We're getting thru them with an organized group of G5/G4 players... but in what world can a group of 'G4' players beat these G4 waves? I got a level locked Voyager at Ops 50 with research out the butt and can barely hang past round 4 with specialty hostiles.

[young ibex]

Same. My level locked Monaveen can't take out the MU Wave ONE Texas hostiles.

Oh, and while we're at it, since I can barely touch anything after wave 1 even as an ops 46, I wasn't able to finish today's event for store credit. And I'm out of mirror wave credits with a 3 day cool down. So I miss the last milestone of today's credits (3k) plus the next two days. The fact the devs have already tanked ways to get store credits is bad enough (cause they want folks to buy them, obviously... we see you), but then to put them in events that many can't finish because your new mechanic is broken? That's screwed up. Not to mention the waves initially were, and still are, an issue... but instead of listening to the players you doubled down and made it worse. The game is becoming unplayable if you don't spend money and that honestly saddens me. Start listening to your players for the love of God.

[plush trout]

I hate to agree but there is an "easy" path to tons of stuff all ftp with ex borg and the other factions. You use borg to skip the grind for actians and replace that with something better like bajoran or waves for example.
The path is there, it just isn't clear or easy. Ask around everyone has a trick to it.

But if you are really turned off by the thought of more grinding I understand. I hit 40, focused on what I want rewards from, and left everything else alone. I don't pvp because I don't spend so I prioritize helping others.

[quaint haven]

Actians is one of the fastest grinds there is, would be way better if you could buy wave credits or any of the last 3-4 grinds they introduced which are all worse.

[errant brook]

<@&509690795536941056> Still open:

• Why are there no field repairs available for G5 Rare Ships (Sanctus, Quv, Crozier)?
• Why do OPS 56-59 get Events where they have to get Field Repairs when their ships are ignored?
• How should OPS 56-59 compete (vs G6) on Protect the core SLB when there is much less useful stuff to exchange credits for? As we cannot use Field repairs we also don't need to replenish Welding hardware.

Field repairs and Welding have no use for OPS 56-59 and players get punished in Events - again.

[distant dawn]

<@&509690795536941056> Performance ? No way

by the way, your YouTube videos, excellent work...maybe you should change your priority???

[limber prairie]

With all the bug fixes that have been done over the last couple months, why hasn't the Crashing and Freezing issues that occurs when swithing between windows been addressed yet?

[distant dawn]

Youtube videos are more important

[rough belfry]

So I'm guessing they said no on color coding this area?

[slender monolith]

lol, yea, guess it was a no, although you never know given recent updates and improvements have been rather unexpected on arrival.

[woeful nymph]

Can we add a free daily drip for the new wave entries (or a 3 day one) to the S 31 store and use the other claim as BONUS wave entries. It feels really bad to have to choose between old wave loot and running the new waves <@&509690795536941056>

[young cliff]

Ok, props first. Great job on arc release. Smoothest in a long time, communication was fantastic, and events starting a little early is a massive win compared to "1 to 3 hours past reset."
MU waves feel more rewarding per wave than the original waves, rather nice. Lots of obvious F2P pathing, and bugginess/lag has been surprisingly low for the first week.
But, can we get the option to toggle the MU time extension off? Mining is completely worthless in G5, and I run out of hull between the 15 and 18 minute mark unless I grind hostiles too small to be worth it. All the time extension does is force my undivided attention for longer or make me waste keys and cloaks. Too much to do in the game to justify that.

[brisk ibex]

Agree with the FTP pathing, and with the timer.

Curious your OP’s level, the 40’s seem to be struggling with the M-Waves, both in scoring and ability to kill

[opaque raft]

Why wasn’t the retrieving issue not fixed in last update? Or the previous ones. This is a persisting issue and Scopely doesnt seem to care about it in any way.

[brisk ibex]

Question regarding the rewards at Milestone 14 for the MU BP:

What’s the point of 160 / 320 Section 31 MU credits?

Not really enough to purchase / trade in for anything, even a single skin shard, were these maybe supposed to be MU-Wave starts since the BP is completely lacking them?

[dim hemlock]

So you want only people with money to be able to play this month? Is that it? WHAT OART OF THERE ARE NO CYPHERS TO DO EVENTS dont you understand???

[brisk ibex]

Between the scoring limitations, crashes or boots from the waves, it’s making it tough to stay engaged with an Arc if we can’t even complete what should be an easy sms

[dim hemlock]

Maybe they just want to see how many people they can get to quit the game??

I ran out of cyphers yesterday mostly from campers joining waves and sitting idle.

Fortunately I found another game that I've been getting into. This one's dead the dev's could careless ,Scopley could careless. They just want your money. Perfect example would be the eviscerator, a 100 dollar waste of pixels.

Definitely not gonna buy the battlepass until halfway thru the arc just in case it sucks like this one. Why waste the 20 bucks

[viral nest]

Can't really participate in the new mirror waves
Round 3 max

[tidal notch]

Been hearing a lot of asks for this. Will see what I can do.

[steel raven]

MU rift mechanic is awful, it’s just not a fun addition to the game. Warp in, trundle across system for 25+ seconds, repeat 4x to get to … mine for a few mins.

[woeful nymph]

My justification for wanting a free drip to not force me to spend my s31 loot for entries. Those old "researches" are much more valuable with the new wave hostile difficulty increase. This would also help the early 40's players who are strugglebussing right now.

[steel raven]

Change the MU rift mechanic! Don’t force a player to do 5 mins of crap just to move a ship. At least allow folks to pick a destination deeper in to jump to, directly, still consuming the tokens if it must be limited.

[little latch]

They should change it so that the 20 minute countdown starts as soon as you attack your first hostile/player, or start mining on a node. Instead of it starting on entry to the first system.

[vocal pollen]

You are creating a game mode (wave defense) that requires players to use different types of ships to get through as many waves as possible. Then you add events for this game mode that require players to use the same ship types to earn points. I did not study game design, but to me this seems kind of contradictory. How about rewarding players for killing any enemy ship, which would rather motivate people to align on a successful ship setup? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[unreal sierra]

Good thing they fixed all the bugs though right? 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

[viral nest]

Why don't they like interceptors

[shrewd raven]

Are we going to have any other events besides waves that pay currency?

[worn wave]

Congrats $copely, before the arc release we were talking how this game couldn't get worse with their naked greed.....you have outdone yourselves again

[dim hemlock]

Obsidian hamster is watching the stream but obviously doesn't comprehend the problem. There's no way to get arc credits without cyphers. the 3 day cooldown should be changed to 22hrs so we can actually try to compete. Y'all have seen what's wrong and done NOTHING!!! Unless the plan was to chase folks off, then I take it back and say,Bravo!!! 👏 👏 👏 great work!

[worthy horizon]

Please stop chasing casuals off, many early 40's that cant complete these events. WoW/Blizzard understood that alot of the money comes from the casuals not the 5 pct hardcore crowd and made events that everyone could complete. If the goal is to get people to leave because your secretly working on STFC2 then sure i understand but as a 41 myself i feel fortunate to have a big alliance behind me. (completed 10 waves in MU) I think you and the designers understand that chasing potential credit card users off is bad for buisness.

[plush trout]

We won't get better sourcing for wave cyphers until after the wave SMS are done, they want you to feel pressured to buy just to finish it. It is clear since launch this was the plan. Then they'll give more cyphers and people will thank them, forgetting what just happened

[heady bluff]

This is 100 percent what’s going on.

[woeful nymph]

They liked them day 1 and day 2

[heady bluff]

My guess is they are swapping around because each rare officer is ship specific. Data interceptor, troi is explorer and dax(the worst one) is battleship. So maybe for those who have, running the right crew makes your survival rate much higher ? My guess

[viral nest]

Don't play every day

[cursive gale]

Feels potentially bug like, but suspect working as intended. Bonus Mining loot favors and research will not stop your miner when it maxes it's cargo, so if you rely on your miner not mining to when to pull, means you may be max cargo wasting time mining nothing. I had my miner on a node that was a few hundred thousand less than my max cargo of 30M, came back later and the node was empty and cargo full.

[cursive gale]

Okay I pulled another miner and it applied the bonus on pulling, so this seems like a bug where it is sometimes applying the bonus mined before you even remove from the node

[glossy crane]

The lag (unable to target hostiles and prolonged battles with hostiles) are a definite impediment in completing the MU waves. I just finished a MU wave to level seven with some of the worst lag I have ever experienced on my server. I would rather developers focus on game stability rather than continuing to push new content. Graphics are broken, hostile grinding is a prolonged nightmare when ships cannot be targeted or watching them bounce back and forth before actually engaging a hostile.

[lost beacon]

Thursdays have always been very bad for lag due to apex happening on it, then they added in the gorn event as well, me personally haven't even bothered with the new waves as the old ones where bad enough that I have 0 interest in these new ones and very few on my server appear to be interested as well. So far this event store month I've got 0 credits and probably won't get many if any if it continues in this same way throughout the arc.

[chilly quartz]

Haven't we been over this ? Wave defenses every fricking day were already complained about the first time .... Come on.

[hallow widget]

@tidal notch <@&509690795536941056> 704 is not ready for ascension! I am the strongest player and I don’t even feel ready. Most of our 39’s do not even have voyager - so this is not a good move for the health of our server. We just started growing a lot is the past month so ascension makes no sense but for 1 or two players.

[tidal notch]

Copy that. Ascension can be tricky for me to intiate.

[worthy grotto]

At community manager I concur with Babbleguys statement. We are not ready.

[tidal notch]

https://tenor.com/view/faramir-brothers-my-brother-boromir-lotr-gif-16333243

[worthy grotto]

Thank you. so much for the assistance and hearing us out. I am grateful to you for making this a fun game.

[tidal notch]

Happy to help and glad you're having fun!

[quasi igloo]

<@&509690795536941056> yea i came here to agree this is such a fun game i think majority of 704 would miss out on so much by not being ready for ascension ! But it’s a great game and am happy with the progress and the new content!

[midnight pasture]

LAG LAG LAG LAG LAGF

[woeful oasis]

Every time the lag is "Fixed" and we get a comp chest the lag gets worse - waves are almost imposable to do atm

[full gate]

LESS CONTENT, MORE STABILITY. LAG STILL PERSISTS.

[arctic elk]

Should ask for a refund. These third parties are driving the servers down....

[dim hemlock]

Is this a joke? We’ve been screaming for them to fix the mirror wave lack of cyphers so they remove the timers from officers we can’t buy since we can’t do the mirror waves to get arc credits. If that doesn’t scream we don’t care, you’re not a whale, I don’t know what does.

[prime socket]

Holy 💩 Batman, fix the stinking LAG.

[red rampart]

So much for War Room running the same week as Incursions

[tawny walrus]

The lag is horrendous. For all that is holy, please fix this.

[warm jackal]

Are the login servers down?

[prime socket]

Current state of lag is making game UNPLAYABLE. <@&509690795536941056>

[uncut osprey]

S31 is lag central tonight... much more so than the "normal" malaise!! A 🐌 would react faster than the game right now.

[vagrant fjord]

This lag on S30 is insane. Have a LB event for mirror waves and can't do them very well due to this massive lag.

[dusk mauve]

also 69 - unbearable. 30secs waiting for attack to start - over and over.

[dreamy drum]

Getting a lot of lag on S17. In general, but more so during waves

[quaint haven]

Either add more epic engineering officers or get the engineering badge out of the Apex pulls

[radiant sand]

Severe lag in the game right now

[nova sierra]

Hey <@&509691205798592532> any idea when 93 will merge?

[static kiln]

<@&509691205798592532> pls change the 50x lock from aliance donate system. its annoy very hard. when it is my wish to donate 1000x dilithium than i should could do it 😉

[silver laurel]

To be clear, I don't think this is a request for that to happen (and if it is I would counter that request for it to not). Also the mods won't be able answer that. Those are volunteers that help with the discord. You are looking for Community Managers.

[hot ermine]

Why do we need seats in Armadas? It really sucks for the low level guys always getting qued out of it. It really is the worst part of this game and makes me really think why am I wasting my time playing this game. I like Fallout 76's way to allowing everybody and anyone to join in the event!!! It can be a lot easier for all the players and not be a headache for the Alliance, especially the disorganized ones. It seems to me the more popular/social players are the ones getting in them mostly.

[finite mural]

That's between you and your alliance.

[analog plank]

Waves are hard for sub 53 players already. Why push me to use anything but my strongest ship?

But also doesn’t matter… out of entry tokens. I want to engage but can’t!

[robust bramble]

3 day timer for mirror wave starts is crazy

[heavy bridge]

The timer is terrible for the Cyphers, and you need more available going forward. Though I still have 850 left from what they gave us. Not a whale, just need to strategy because you start the wave

[young ibex]

Glad to know that's not just me. I have to reboot all the time when switching to like the events tab or in and out of researches, etc.

[plush trout]

50% of the time I have to restart the game just to switch a ship/officers on said ship. In fact, I have to restart the game an obscene amount of times just to engage with whatever they've taped together

[young ibex]

Yeah I find myself restarting frequently. My favorite is the station skeleton freeze when you're trying to back out of interior station view.

[limber prairie]

@young ibex I have to restart the game on average 25 to 30 times a day. Even when I clear my cache, and clean my phones junk files. On my pc I have to restart 4 or 5 times unless I'm playing on my day off, then it jumps up to 15 or more. It has progressively gotten worse with no improvement.

[young ibex]

Mine isn't quite that bad, but that may be because I've intentionally minimized how much I change between screens to avoid the issue.

[cosmic basin]

The game is unstable constantly crashing or freezing scopley will just roll out compo chest this is not good enough SCOPLEY FIX ISSUES PLEASE

[zealous quiver]

Active plasma node for starbase is zero in server. Why?

[steep socket]

@tidal notch maybe I misunderstood what you said on the state of the game podcast but we didn’t necessarily want more time in the MU,,, we wanted less heads down impulsing the 5 minutes to get to the system we need to get to, so we wanted our 5 minutes back… Not more time… more time did not fix the issue

[dusty token]

Directive drop rate on these new waves is ridiculous. 1 entry every 3 days, and you can't save up more than 3? @tidal notch

[frigid monolith]

Is this space the right place for ideas and suggestions that will be considered and passed on by the moderators? Second question: do the game developers also read this?

[brisk ibex]

Really disappointed by the radio silence, many have been unable to complete the daily wave SMS due to the horrible sourcing and limited supply

[short pivot]

Please, once I've maxed out something, remove that something from my faction/whatever store. Maxed Bajoran rep? Don't keep offering to let me buy more.

Similarly, when I've completed the entire Away Team research tree, please stop offering me Away Team missions that pay out in away team medals and star maps.

Similarly, when I've maxed out an officer's shards, remove that officer from the Transporter Pattern section of the Recruit tab.

The amount of useless nonsense I have to scroll through to get to actually useful stuff has become staggering.

Another suggestion: get rid of (or provide an option for the player to turn off) things like the recruit chest-opening animation. We've all see it a million times, at this point it's just a huge waste of time, never mind the extra clicks to hit "Skip" repeatedly. Also, if I click to buy 10 chests, open all 10 chests, don't open 1 and make me click to open the rest.

[clever ginkgo]

I think they're busy creating the next buggy hamster wheel grind that can be sped up with cash

[slender monolith]

I hear it’s login queues, with pay faster lanes for priority access, or maybe not 😛

[coarse sundial]

hay can we have auto poilt for mu just click on system you want to send ship to pay keys and arrive?

[clever ginkgo]

or just remove MU altogether

[jade patio]

Worst part… it’s hard to tell if they are campers, or just players with crashed games. The crashes happening in waves were already bad. In the MU, they are epic.

[stoic crane]

Is it just me or is scopely giving much less rewards for acquiring the store currency, apart from the low levels there are no quests for it and the battle pass has no store currency, frankly I think we are worse off with scopely.

[oak lava]

people were getting too many goodies w/o paying. can't have that.

[brisk ibex]

Supposedly the FC unlock should be available if F2P completes all basic events etc, however considering a good number of people couldn’t complete the daily wave SMS’s, Event store rewards missing from ticketed events, etc it’s not looking hopeful….

Feels like a bait and switch but maybe it’s just a pessimistic mode due to another day of bugs, lag and missing rewards from a vanished event

[stoic crane]

I have seen that several ops 40+ have complained that because the rewards are for the new waves 2.0 the rewards are very few, besides that to qualify for more coins they can not rank in the top 50 places as that everything is unbalanced but good.

[brisk ibex]

In my bracket 30 of the top 50 couldn’t score above 5,100 points, which means they couldn’t get the 30 kills per day required for the daily MU-Wave.

Imho it’s shameful we are getting radio silence on this, a SLB showing over half of the players rewarded couldnt event meet the minimum standard for the linked SMS to complete it

[nova sierra]

So why do we have to wait 3 days to do mirror?(other then money obviously) it ridiculous that this blatant cash play heavily hurts the f2p in favor of whales

[stoic crane]

if you do the math no one is going to get any decent benefit from the rewards, lack of coins in the battle pass and the difficult task of completing wave 2.0 then the store would have been better left for the next one no rewards are achievable unless you invest $$$, a very poor execution of this second part of the arc, but I don't think they will answer the complaints they always stay silent while still lining their pockets with the money, hey but with putting the strike teams to ultra recruitment we will divert the bad design of the events.

[sullen dust]

imagine they said quality and this is the result 6months down the line.... and as per beks telling us a big thing is coming end ot arc.... I'm gonna hoards stuff and glue my modem on my device. put on a year long shield and buy diapers for ship crews... cause this is a circus

[nova sierra]

Nah everyone just sees it as diluting the pulls more, harder to get shards for anyone now

[brisk ibex]

💯
If they were serious there would be a second or third Ultra recruit tab like they’ve done before with a focus on TNG etc with legacy officers removed

[stoic crane]

the new way of scamming people I thought electronics arts was a crook but now I think they are gaining the first place hahah

[neat cave]

puts minecraft skins and upgrades to shame

[dim hemlock]

I guess when they said more quality over quantity means they're gonna be slicker on how to screw everyone out of their money instead of taking more.

[torpid kelp]

@raw fiber @tidal notch hy since you're offering the 3rd fc slot for 180k for resistance tools(credits) in the event store, wouldn't it be a nice idea to also offer plans for the fc commanders? i'd be thrilled about it 😜

[sullen dust]

I get some events we can be pushed for an hour or so but this is extremely mean for event currency. Will take some hours over the 24hrs....like seriously Dont your beta team mention good and bad of events or is saying your beta team is full just some propaganda statement. You guys are getting seriously ridiculous and just plain (phallus)

[keen loom]

<@&509690795536941056> where are we at with the unplayable state of waves?

[dim hemlock]

I signed up as a beta tester when I first started playing. Still don't get any of thr beta stuff even tho Google says I'm a beta tester so that might explain some of it. They don't send out the beta packs to us

Deleted all credit card info from my devices. If Scopely has taught me anything over the wave defense mess is that they could careless! Back to F2P for me👋

[sullen dust]

there isn't a beta... they had a few years ago... given the bugs the last year.... you guys can believe that lie but facts speak for themselves.... it's just way too many and too frequent

[tidal notch]

This makes sense!

[tidal notch]

Seeing a lot of lag in WD?

[spare vapor]

@tidal notch I'd like to make a 'feature request' -- so if not here, happy to dump it elsewhere...but....an enhancement to stfc.space (or similar location) that will filter out missions that I have already completed

As a secondary request, it would be nice to see missions by system, as in, I can click into the system and see missions that should be available there -- preferably smart enough to know as it relates to my Ops/Faction levels, Pre-Req's for missions, and also have I completed missions in that system or not

Cheers!

[worthy horizon]

Hello, i have a big question here that is important to me given i bought the premium battle pass. The last reward is not the Agony chamber anymore but ISS Enterprise ? This is a drastic downgrade for paying customers. Please look into this 🙏

[finite mural]

The agony booth was meant to be in the 99.99 elite pack only, the one in the bp was a mistake (not the first time, or second time they've done this)

[keen loom]

Yes. Especially in waves 9 and 10. Nearly impossible to target on US servers.

[ocean wagon]

Yes in WD and MU wave

[tropic crown]

Or maybe not be so cheap with event store credits.

[brisk ibex]

For almost a week now, you’ll see tons of comments in discord if you search

[flint shuttle]

According to Bec the comments are inconclusive

[tidal notch]

Yeah. Lag during WD is tricky to pin down because its not consistant on all servers. Do you see lag at all levels of the waves or just specific ones?

[brisk ibex]

Lag and crashes have been most common upon:
-start of wave, frequently saw dropouts or those who had to reset.

-around wave 6, same as above.

-Waves 9 & 10, often intense lag and sometimes hostiles wouldn’t appear for most of the wave until they were half way to center.
More than once saw failures occur on an almost undamaged core and no one saw a hostile.

-Crash of Wave.
At start once, though saw more than a couple comments, everyone crashed and booted out of wave and ciphers consumed.

Often almost unplayable at prime time (17:30 - 22:00 EST).
Least issues from 08:00 to 11:00 EST.

Lag effected all players, so not a local, device or isp issue

[brisk ibex]

I got in the habit of restarting my app after joining a wave, atleast 90 seconds before start.

Seemed to help with early wave crashing.

Can’t prove it, but I’d swear this update has a memory leak issue, whole interface slows down after a while, especially when collecting dailies, and a hard close and restart of app resolves it

[quaint haven]

If there’s a server without lag and crashes in WD I’d be interested to hear about it

[cinder raven]

Since there is a limit of 2,000 battles per day that reward you with loot, can a visible counter be added somewhere so that commanders can know where they stand at the current moment?

[reef siren]

121 EU was good tonight, we did run of 7 along eve.

[quaint haven]

I assume you didn’t have a cube in there.

[keen loom]

I’d be happy to screen record this happening, could provide both android and iOS examples if I had a place to send them.

[bronze igloo]

Comp either later today or Monday for the FT slb but if it were about money it would be done already 😂

[sleek ibex]

Wait so they took the really cool frame at the end of the BP and replaced it with a lame generic avatar? Does anyone know if we will still get the frame at some point?

[finite mural]

The frame is in the $99.99 elite pass

[jovial ledge]

When are you going to update us on territory updates. I noticed that 2 particles are in every #1 territory and those that do not contain 2 particles have a meridian construction yard. It is so quiet you can hear a pin drop. Update us please of everything you adjusted in territory. This is a game changer and requires planning.

[tropic crown]

That’s just lazy if it’s Monday.

[young shore]

Gherkins terri helper has been updated with all changes. I've used it to do my alliances plans the last few days.
https://territory.lol/

[jovial ledge]

thank you, that is a nice tool.

[unreal sierra]

good job fixing the lag... LOL NOT 😂

[tepid bramble]

This is absolutely bullcrap. Eco, or whoever came up with charging for mirror wave starts. Yeah really smart. 🤨

[nova sierra]

<@&509690795536941056> it would appear more things are missing on server EU405. That’s the emergency field rations store and now the recruit mirror Kira slb

[quick gale]

The 5* economy… when you have spend events and you have 100k uncommon to spend but no common as you get less 5* common than 4* common…

[subtle kernel]

@tidal notch Some feedback - I really like the new sections in the store, however, I wish there was a section for skins as they appear to be missing?

[ancient vapor]

Is this new mission reward accurate? 1 trait XP?!

[ripe thicket]

Why do you all constantly keep requiring more and more for heroic unlocks. This is driving people away from the game.

[hybrid wraith]

scopely plz do something about the language barrier in game, on server 26 we are running into players who speaks brazillian, we been using google translator to communicate with them.

[subtle kernel]

Brazilian isnt its own language - its portuguese, most of south american speaks either spanish or portuguese. Just to set the record straight. 😉

[tropic crown]

They don’t care as long the money is rolling in how “many” players there are.

[oak hawk]

Hey ...

#⭐-official-announcements message

You know, when you have issues with SLB's it causess people to not work towards them ... thus it's a double kick when you give compensation only to those who still worked towards them (knowingly or unknowingly) ...

[ripe thicket]

I didn't even bother upgrading mine. If they had done a sms as well, I would have done more. Pointless to waste resources on an slb. I am against big spenders so 1 mil+ to get top 10.

[ripe thicket]

Armadas are not respawning right now. We have emptie a a system and even let a couple of the timers run out.

[trail pebble]

I have a two prong issue - can someone reach out to me - one is urgent, and the other prevents me from being able to address the urgent issue in regular ways - is a private/sensitive matter - thanks..

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> if Scopely is wondering why people are camping, this is why. There is no reason to require 6* materials to unlock 4* mining research.

We need more refined mats while in the 4* economy in order to advance. This only helps those in the 6* economy to scrap lower ships

[trail pebble]

6* used to be the prime currency for lower levels - it was different this way where everything was pure rss graded for primes - then it went to the dif mats (that's why going to higher g* ratings in ops levels will let you have f2p to some lower level primes) - they probs didn't plan for different prime currencies back then, but also now probably don't want to change it based on how everyone else has had to deal with it to date (a guess) - as an aside, there are benefits where lower level players can buy these primes but also score huge in spend events compared to the scoring at higher ops brackets

[rough belfry]

I know all that. But it's still a bad game design that leads players to camp because they can't get enough mats. Even now with more efficiency researches than ever. We still can't get enough to not camp.

[trail pebble]

I think it's important to remember this is a prime research node, not a normal one. So considering the history, it's pretty much higher ops eventually give you f2p access to lower level primes that would be ops locked without purchasing them. So in some ways, it is nice that there are f2p routes to primes if you never bought them but are higher ops where the prime matters less now. Even with dif prime mats, higher ops g* brackets often give f2p sourcing to lower g* ops brackets for prime mats the same way (factions store, etc.) - f2p prime mat sourcing will often always be slow - at least with ore/gas/crystal primes, your research efficiency kicks in - with other prime mats, this is not the case - I'd complain more about them making "new mats" in order to avoid efficiency for primes.

[vale wasp]

It'd be weird to ask a mod to verify something they gave you. 😃

[silk charm]

if it helps any you can see that same email address pinned in #👽-how-to-contact-support

[kind rampart]

Because Scrapping 3* ships gave tons of 4* commons that Uncommons are the problem. Real adjustment not having that in G5. still not over it at ops59 😂🙄

[lofty girder]

now the PC client is even being more glitchy. Please fix the lag and all the different glitches this game has.

[ashen lantern]

I've seen that exact bug/issue too much. If you go to the "Claim" and "Recruit" through the bottom tab, it seems to have less issues (for me at least). Doesn't help with viewing/upgrading crew, but lets ya recruit with less bugs at least. And tells me that the code behind the officer display screen is likely the buggy part.

[chrome field]

The weekly and monthly chests should give 5* ship parts. I'm OPS 59 and still get 4*.
Stop being so stingy with ship parts..

[finite mural]

it does,

[lime socket]

Hm no g5 parts in mine either.

[finite mural]

did at 60, and does at 61
could use some g6 parts
all the chests need to be reworked though

[brittle veldt]

The reason behind the lag in Wave defense is the Insane Internet Speed and consumption it makes, literally Draining the entire speed connection on Routers, it does work better when using 5G network or Fibre connection
But this consumption is not justified at all, not that it's downloading resources, and anything else like Hostiles Movements or details are supposed to be barely in KBs like any normal system and grind

So this need to be looked at to figure why this consumption, last measurement i made it was consuming about 56 mbps for the half of the wave and any interruption in the connection or a moment of Lag would cause issues
And lagging in Phone network is normal, so that leaves only Fiber connection users free from this kind of issues

The game generally in daily normal gameplay is consuming about 3GBs worth of data
And the game size itself with the launcher is about 600MB
And around 3 GBs of resources for everything
And this is literally make no sense, and need to be looked into

[kind minnow]

every iteration of the app has had this problem. restarting the app every few hours is advised

[slender monolith]

Either a leak or a lack of garbage collection and texture cleanup. In general devices with more ram survive better and longer than lesser ones.

[finite mural]

Definite memory leak

[languid iron]

Memory leaks and Cache bloat has plagued STFC for years. Honestly, last arc was fairly free of issues, but happily, Scopely installed more bugs and glitches with the new arc and update!

[lime socket]

It’s gotten much worse last couple of months. Switching between screens is like playing Russian roulette now.

[chrome elm]

scoring for mirror universe event is an absolute joke

[mint heath]

And i found my Target to high at Ops 59 already!!!

[gentle shale]

It would be great to see more assimilated Ferengi in Borg probe systems. I have literally not seen one in YEARS of hunting Borg.

[limber mesa]

they spawn every 2 or 3 hours in every vi'dar borg system, but do not spawn at all in the talios systems.

[brisk ibex]

Yes I agree to an extent, but some versions seem better than others, this one seems, to have a new weakness / issue when it comes to that

[gentle shale]

Thank you

[brisk ibex]

Agree, but I still think it’s worth noting.
It is a “client side” issue that Scopley caused, which they should fix because it would help in a number of areas, especially with waves likely for both the client and the host.

[slender monolith]

Definitely

[wary citrus]

@uncut spear you asked " How's your weekend going? " Everyone's weekend would be much better if you lower the Mirror Kira SMS top goal back to what it was in last weeks SMS.. that how we are feeling very frustrated and disappointed in Scopley..

[sullen dust]

@uncut spear im awesome, just so confused how you at 9pm on a Sunday ask us about our weekend after all the complains about event only to pop one on us this time after my supper mind you... pfft

[full gate]

$500 for Kira. You Scopely's must be crazy. Ridiculous. No event officer in any game is worth $500 when she'll be useless in a yer like strike team

[gritty stirrup]

#⭐-official-announcements message Tks for Head up on Syndicate event

[tacit hatch]

Scopely honestly doesn't care how we are, they don't even care if we are upset about some dumb arbitrary decision they make, they only care about if you are going to spend money on the game.

[plush trout]

You know no one at Scopely cares, they got their money which is all they care about. No longer a good product but a financially viable one even if its in the worst shape in a while.
Tag an employee with praise and they'll respond, something negative and you'll be met with silence.

[shut haven]

Can anything be done to update the locations for the armada legs since the last update? @tidal notch

[storm crest]

1 year plus and still waiting

[young ibex]

Used to have an alliance member who hunted those on the regular (he had literal hundreds of the tokens saved up) so I know the scoop pretty well.

They spawn every 4 hours starting around midnight (or noon if you wanna cycle it that way). It can be up to about fifteen minutes before or after the hour. Starts in the lowest level borg system and cycles through. If you kill the one in the low level system, it will spawn in the next level system as soon as a normal probe one de-spawns. You can then just use your warp tokens going system to system and grab them. I used to do that once in a while, too. Just sit in the lowest system starting about 11:45 and check it every few minutes till one pops up, kill it, then move to the next system.

(FWIW if anyone doesn't know, I discovered the other night that Wanted Xindi have the same cycle on a similar time... and an alliance member told me the Hirogen Transports do as well)

[ripe thicket]

Please change the Trailblazer sms. If you are not going to have combat count and require players to join takeovers, lower the cost ro join (so smaller alliances can finish) or add pvp combat to the way to earn points so EVERYONE can finish this event or make it an alliance based event so thr alliance can carry everyone. It is beyond boring sitting in a tc fir 30 minutes cloaked or repairing and resending small ships because whales are bored and want to harass and bully others.

[gentle shale]

Apparently my problem is I’m hunting in too high of levels. I knew someone who farmed these like clockwork.

I’ll take your advice,

Thanks so much!

LLAP 🖖🏼

[near bobcat]

Need to raise kill limit. With the Monaveen autogrind its easy to go over. Now I can no longer participate in the event to dock Trellium.

[gusty fractal]

As we all have to drink responsibly we all have to play responsibly. Plan your gameplay based on events because it wouldn't make sense to post the event calendar.

[teal lance]

Id love to see some automation to waves. its boring as duck, and its easy, but i have to waste upto 10mins waiting for a team(not many are interested anymore so sometimes takes a couple of attempts) and 10mins to finish it(The store is a good one). The new waves are a little more fun at the moment, but if they come from the same spawn with same ships every wave.... its a chore

[pine hare]

Including shield drop?
Are you freaking crazy?!

[ancient heron]

It's driving me nuts that my chest says claim and I can't clear it because I have the max amount of welding hardware. Is there anything you can do about that?

[sullen matrix]

You could autogrind before, there's literally no need to auto grind all day, especially not with the monaveen.
Also there is still the mining option

[maiden pilot]

So scopely made the new waves harder.... Yeah I'm sure that's exactly what everyone was hoping for... 🤦

[tight maple]

@mint heath Traders spawn rarely. But, if a system has been idle more than 1 hour, next player whi looks in will see one. They leave 6 minutes later. That's your time limit to get them. Just pedk in. If one is there then jump in. If not, check next system. Systems 25-33 only.

[nova sierra]

you just don't get it do you!

[ancient heron]

It's meant to be a challenge for the higher level players. I am sure you and your team will be getting 10/10 in no time you just have to work at it.

[summer fiber]

Yup. Make them more difficult. Definitely what a lot of us wanted to see. Look, I get that they should have their abilities active. I really do. However, there are a bunch of us are still waiting for something to be done with the fact that we couldn't complete or even do the last waves SMS because of the lack of ciphers. Often I had folks pile up their ships in one spot preventing others from taking on the hostile type and levels they need to go after, which prevents them from getting some points if any at all. This is made worse with the "score with x ship type" if a player doesn't have a ship of that type strong enough or even have one at all. So to see that they're being made more difficult is unpleasant.

[tight maple]

@sullen matrix Monaveen doesn't need to autofarm all day. Go to a higher level system.

[sullen matrix]

thats literally what i said

[forest ember]

Great haul of mirror fragments from yesterday’s battlepass. Tiered up District bldg over 15 levels. Only then did I see this. Would have been nice if this fact was a little more obvious. Or, if the extra free pulls would be cumulative. Missed out on a lot of goodies.

[opaque umbra]

They do also warn you on both the refinery collections...

[sand notch]

yay for more officer sourcing
nay for it being in the ultra chests.
Now annoyingly difficult officers are even harder to get .... 🤦‍♂️
Where's Makinen sourcing ?? apart from the COW chest

[rose nacelle]

Just realized waves were on “season 8”. Look, discovery got 5 seasons and it was absolute gutter trash. It’s ok to admit defeat, Scope. Not every idea is a good one. Doesn’t mean you gotta keep it around. The “less grind” was a brilliant idea… waves and incursions not nearly as much.

[sullen matrix]

😂😂😂

[quaint haven]

What’s the point of you chat banning someone if you don’t also chat ban their alt? Also, why isn’t the account banned since having an alt on the same server is slso against ToS. As an added bonus the same player also uses bots…

[cerulean quest]

Why on earth you still put the 60’s in the 50’s bracket while before the arc you where able to split it ! What’s the point of an armada slb ! Me a 54 can’t keep track of a 65+ … might as well hand them the nr 1 spot and recall the event 😂

[unreal sierra]

have you guys considered adding more Pay paths? I feel like Scopely is favoring Free To Play players too much 😂

[tropic helm]

Keep milking your player base for money I'm sure it won't come back on you

[quaint haven]

@tidal notch explain to me how after killing 8 1B hull health shipyards I could have under 5B points in a mada damage SLB, oh and 2 746M HHP shipyards before that.

[limber mesa]

because it doesn't count points for all your ships.
use just your monaveen to get maximum score.

[quaint haven]

So they screwed up coding it and now I’m screwed because I already used all my shipyard directives. Sounds about standard for Scopely.

[obsidian leaf]

@tidal notch Apparently the dark red text that was used in the description for today's SMS event was pretty difficult for some of our community members with colorblindness (specifically scaleyback, who I'm bringing this up for) to read. They were okay to read the green and gold colored text that are present in the in-game news post containing the arc calendar, so if you could poke the arc runner or whoever puts these things together and remind them to rely more on the latter two font colors that would be helpful.

[tidal notch]

You don't answer pings for more info do you?

[quaint haven]

Ones I don’t receive? No

[tidal notch]

Friend request sent.

[bleak pulsar]

People are approaching the halfway point on the Gorn eviscerator blueprintsthrough the f2p weekly event… I’d suggest if there was a “half unlock” pack in the store it would sell some. I bought the half unlock nx01 when I got halfway f2p and wanted to speed up to finish and would consider the same on the eviscerator

[tidal notch]

Will pass on!

[tidal notch]

We got it for the NX so maybe we could do the Evi too.

[heavy bridge]

Yeah you have to solo the solos to get the best score, this happened during another event earlier this year amd I guess they didn't bother to fix it.

Also I love being in a bracket with ships that are 10 billion power higher for a damage event lol

[chrome vortex]

@tidal notch This is insane; you create an SLB with 50+ - 70 ops.  What were you thinking?

Here is a good event. How about a XSLB including all servers and rewards only for the top 3?

[tidal notch]

What was I thinking?

https://tenor.com/view/who-me-who-is-you-what-me-looking-gif-6739111684351537163

[tepid bramble]

Well, you didn’t actually think Scoply would keep the more fair slb bands did you? I mean when has Scoply ever been truthful when it comes to what they say? If there is a dollar to be made being cool, and two to be made being deceitfully (honestly they could make MORE money being cool, but that doesn’t fit their “we’re premium, and you should pay that way, for a phone game, you play on the toilet), the business will ALWAYS take the more money regardless, unless REGULATED otherwise.

[tacit hatch]

It's just another garbage event their socio economic team told em to do to make money. The game has become one money grub after another with no quality for the cost. When events start requiring money just to play them it's time for the players to push back. They don't dictate to the players, we seem to have forgotten that

[vivid venture]

They said those bands were a test, and they'd look at the numbers to see if it would be kept going forward. They did not say they would be the new brackets.

[tepid bramble]

And you would be a fool to believe that they would have kept it past the “test”. Again, scopy lies to us all the time.

[plush trout]

The test was how much money they'd lose if they didn't punish G5 for not spending more.

[vast plinth]

No announcement... Are we doing this full territory reset garbage again today?

[finite mural]

not resetting today

[tepid bramble]

Yet ANOTHER example of scoply stupidity. First you create Sloan with a separate method to upgrade him then the rest of the other FC’s, now you do it with this?! Seriously Scoply you need to get your collective heads out of 4th points of contact. This is absolutely ridiculous and disgusting. Screw this noise, yet another rope a dope 🙄. (Why even plot progression and growth? Scoply will just screw you over every time.)

[vast plinth]

Those are universal upgrade credits you get after you've maxed out other artifacts. You spend them on bonus upgrades to regularly maxed artifacts. This is a good thing and free. Calm down.

[heavy bridge]

Without spending it was very easy to finish the eye and I'm working on the efficiency of the temporal remnants to upgrade the rest.
Though it would have been nice to have them all the same, I am progressing faster with the new temporal artifacts than the old ones

[tepid bramble]

You need reading comprehension I think. They are NOT universal. There are two separate tiers. And Scoply is a bunch of well, not nice words for doing it yet again.

[slender monolith]

One for regular, one for temporal, just like they have separate sourcing methods too

[tepid bramble]

Yup, and that is getting beyond stupid.

[rugged scaffold]

I'm not sure if I understand the "level based compensations" - if you compensate someone with higher level but ignore the player with lower level, because he hasn't access to a the "new but faulty feature" yet - what does that mean? The bigger player gets even more bigger while the smaller player stays still. But usually new systems are faulty - and most new systems are for bigger players only - so in the end bigger player always gets boosted, smaller player get ignored.

its like in real live: the rich get richer, the poor stay poor. Does that make any sense?

[tepid bramble]

Yes. That is EXACTLY what Scoply does. Reenforce class boundaries and encourages elitism. You’re now “woke” to the scopy joke 😉

[rugged scaffold]

its more like "feed the whales, ignore the peasants" 😉

[torpid cargo]

I do like the way they choose to let us source MU Troi and Ezri. Thats a positive this month.

[tepid bramble]

And the source tokens for it you’re gonna be able to get maybe half of one. (Though, I think even less than that unless some more of those things come out.)

[stark lintel]

There's a full unlock worth of tokens if you buy the $20 BP, otherwise you get enough for 9 shards.

[limber prairie]

Look, this constant freezing and crashing in the game needs to be addressed. It's been going on for 3 months, I've complained about it several times and all it has done is get worse. Stop adding a bunch of new bells and whistles to the game all the time and just make the game work the way it should.

[round stratus]

Second day in a row of an event with 51-70 in the same bracket for a damage based SLB event? How do they expect this to be competitive?

[cerulean juniper]

Interesting how I can be attacked by someone 20 levels above me but I can’t attack 15 levels down, yet the power difference in ships below is arithmetic and ships just a few levels above is logarithmic.

[rich furnace]

They know the higher up the Ops Lvls you go, the fewer players there are. So they widen the range of levels that can fight. Even though the higher you go the more the power levels spiral, then at some point it more or less comes down to who has the biggest RL wallet

[stark lintel]

@tidal notch @raw fiber Lag is atrocious today. I've had to restart 5 times (on pc no less) as I keep having ships not warp when they're told to go somewhere (log back in to see they're still in station). Movement in-system is jerky and unresponsive. This is all outside of waves so I'm not even sure I want to waste my time trying a wave at this point.

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> a galaxy wide pvp? Did yall not learn from the last time? This is a terrible idea and simply leads to bullying. I swear Scopely is incapabile of learning from past mistakes. Good thing I have stopped buying anything. seesh.

[maiden pilot]

It's spelled TROI @tidal notch

[lean crypt]

This is my favorite part of stfc. Watching it eat itself into oblivion

[hardy scroll]

I love how Scopely always conveniently leaves out events from their calendar. No artifact event on the calendar so everyone upgrades their stuff and then they say there will be one after "supposed" player feedback so that anyone who wants to place has to buy temporal things.

[tidal notch]

Dang it! Thanks!

[slate orbit]

It's funny @tidal notch basically said in two interviews with RevD that they realize server wide pvp events upset the player base even though they are not going to adjust brackets cause it removes to many targets for higher levels, yet here we are again. He even ref 20 to 25 lvl difference, yet we are here again with this garbage.

[tepid bramble]

Are you really surprised? This is classic. 😋

[tropic helm]

Why would they care? They only want to make as much mo ey as quick as possible. Quality over quantity was always a lie

[kind minnow]

community managers are just to sweet talk us so we dont leave too fast. in the end they have no control over what scopely does i think

[limber terrace]

They give us the opportunity to grind Gorn ships instead of pvp. IF we happen to have a suitable crew. But guess what. We’re still getting killed by pvp fanatics.
WHAT. THE. HEY.
If Scopely WANTS people to quit the game they are doing a great job. 👌🏻

[limber mesa]

only 15 pve kills if you're G4 or higher.
300 if you're G3 or below...

[plush trout]

The community managers are jesters as fast as I'm concerned. Trying to inject some "personality" into game announcements is cringe and is one of the many reasons I don't spend.

[tidal notch]

But we did adjust the brackets...

[wise urchin]

I think quality over quantity was the truth. The whales definitely have a Quality of spend that scopely like, and the highest quantity of players don't matter to them

eh the pvp brackets have not been adjusted ? G6 players can still wack g4 players ?

[limber mesa]

the PVE element of the BP pvp/pve event was left untouched.
15 kills for G4+, 300 kills for G3.

I think they’re more referring to the fact that a level 70 can hit a level 45. G6 ships hitting G4 ships is just silly imo but I know you guys don’t control that.

It might go a long way for some sort of up to date chart for what the brackets are meant to be, across all PvP, who you can hit below you and who you can’t.
I only say this because there seems to a lot of people complaining about the brackets because they’re either ignorant of them or because they’re not working as intended.

I’ve been playing for 4 years and I haven’t a clue to be honest.

That will show you the brackets but they are way too open

Yea, so your telling me a 63 an no longer destroy lvl 40 at will? 23 level difference? No you adjusted leader board brackets, you have not touched pvp attack brackets. Or if you did it didn't work.

[tropic helm]

They won't touch the pvp brackets. Can't have the whales fight each other. Have to let them beat down on the lower lvls. Other wise they wouldn't feel powerful

People should quit. People should put the bs on blast.

Please undo this change - it’s much too bright for anyone with sensitive eyes

[limber terrace]

If they have it as a separate event I’ll simply ignore it. But not if it’s part of the Battle Pass.

Oh jeepers. The SLB brackets were the hot topics over the past months. Dunno if we'd be able to change the PVP banding.... Not saying its impossible, but maybe tricky.
