The way scopely have coded this game means nothing is simple
Hate to tell you this, but both have been topics, go and read your (stfc) own discord. Yall only read brackets and saw leaderboards. Most of your average players couldn't give anything for the leadeboards, we already know it's pay to win. But when you can't do your dailies or complete events in normal systems cause a player 25 plus levels over you nukes them for laugh. The question becomes why spend my limited game time for a level 65+ to kill me and I can't get anything done in my allowed game time. Then yall add the mirror and do pvp there in a token zone. Yall are really not listening. Now pvp universe wide and players can't get thier pve done due to one 59 or 65 playing speed crew blowing lowbies for kicks.
Go read my own discord...?
I'm just saying that adjusting the SLBs is an easier task than overhauling the PvP banding. Again, I'm not saying its impossible, but the scale is a lot bigger.
Tricky is the scale of the change not the politics. This change would impact all teams that work on this game. I'm not saying I'm against it. But based on past experience it would be challenging.
I understand that, but what is more challenging is trying to push new pvp content when the core pvp system is broken. A 5 billion ship should never be able to hit a 500 k ship. Make pvp risky and challenging in any engagement, with no guaranteed win, and you would see players flock to it. Right now its a zero skill aspect of the game that most players do when they have to instead of want to. Fix the core pvp issues before adding more pvp content is the message many have been saying for long before you had this thankless job :).
Oh I understand why peeps want this and I can raise it again to see if I can get traction, but I'm just saying it might be tricky...
@tidal notch is there any news regarding fc-shards for this event-store?
PVP events across all systems??? 👎
I haven't heard that there will be any. And considering how much stuff this event store already has, I think additions are unlikely.
you bring the 3rd fc slot for free and no fc-shards. although something like that would make perfect sense. the event store could also be revised. example ship plans, no g6 ship plans in it, as if someone would build a 2 deridex
What I hate most about these PvP events is they reward you for punching down. Im ops 50 so yesterday I was hitting 56 solo armadas and today I’m after 59 freebooters. But for PvP high G5 and G6 get the same points for smashing me to pieces in 1 shot as they would for hitting their peers. I usually just sit out PvP which is fine it’s not for me but you’re running a PvE at the same time just a terrible way to make 95% of your player base think why bother with the game anymore.
You think this store has a lot?! Scoply peaked Christmas of ‘22. ‘23 was the year of “the squeeze” (ie Scoply got REALLY miserly and started boning everyone). And ‘24 has been so much double speak and lots of quantity, but yeah no. This store, like everyone since Christmas of ‘22 has been silly. 🤨 (oh, and it doesn’t matter how many things you put in that store, if you give peanuts for store cred, well, not much difference is it?
You don't understand. They put FOUR (4) officers in the officer section!! And they aren't even the officers pictured either
I dunno. MU Picard and MU Data are pretty legit. Plus the 3rd FC chair is pretty popular.
One would still have to actually have the currency for the chair. Pockets feeling mighty empty on that front.
IKR?!
Get Janeway in the event store and I will eat my work shoes
True. The chair is difficult to get, but not impossible.
Deal!
Please please please, just stop trying to make me watch videos through the game client. From the first time it notified me to watch a video I had already seen, it became annoying, and today a new button trying to get me to view them was over the top of my alliance help button, meaning that I haven't been clicking help all day, and I only just realised, because I have no progress in my daily. One notification per new video would be fine, but because it keeps notifying me again and again of things I have either already seen, or decided not to watch, the notifications are now just ignored, and make for a worse game experience. Plus having the reminder button for them on the main interface cover the help button, as happened to me today, is a bug that should really be fixed. I'm on the PC client FYI
easy for competent programmers. seen the bugs in this game ?
@tidal notch can you suggest they put that new meter into the platform and have hostiles overlay it? The new meter is worse than the old one while hitting hostiles approaching platform... something like this:
So if you zoom in or out it stays within the confines of the platform inner circle 🟢
Or this:
This is this game on iOS every 5-10 mins of “gaming”… Frustrating… noooo…
Could you guys add a time stamp/ date on saved locations ingame?
Scopely, work did need to be done on waves, but you did the wrong work. We needed a type of waves that mid to late 40's could finish without aid of Ops 50's-60's players. As it stands now, if a wave (old or new) has more than 2 players in the 40's (or less) either the higher ranked players have to be working their tails off to make the finish line, or you crash and burn by round 7-8. Make a new set of waves that has the 40's having something to do after round 4 besides survey hunting and then you'll have something worth adding to the game. Between the lousy sourcing of Mirror wave starts, the difficulty of mirror waves, the lack of attention to 30's-40's on waves and the slow drip of event store currency, this month is a mess.
With the mu and waves it increases the grind as it requires your full attention for 20 minutes without interruption or you lose out. For a lot of players that’s why they play mobile games as it should be something you can pick up at will. The quality of life improvements were meant to remove these grinds.
Spending 5 minutes of 20 jumping literal hoops is not fun and shows the complete lack of imagination of the game design team.
In my life I was always taught don't present the problems, present the solutions. Some people here do make decent suggestions, others just rail at what they see as shortcomings. No game created today is perfect, no matter what game you play, the discords, and game forums are all full of people complaining about the things they don't like. It liken this to going to a Olive Garden, and then getting mad they don't have Tacos. Very quickly in to any game experience most people can see how a game works, the mechanics, the model, to invest time, effort, money in to a game that you knew from the start how it was going to play out is foolishness. We get fresh content (monthly), QOL improvements to move through older content in to newer content. Constantly evolving systems and mechanics to bring balance, new strategies, and challenges. Could the game improve in certain area, absolutely, and in some ways over time it most likely will, and in others it will remain less desirable, but at the end of the day, you simply need to ask yourself, do you enjoy the time you spend playing, if yes, keep playing, if no, move on to another game.
some here pay so much money for the game and you still want them to do the work? Thats like going to a 5-star hotel and have to clean the toilet by yourself
Not sure that comparison is really valid, but I will run with it. If you go to a 5-star hotel, and the room standards don't met your expectations, you can ask for a different room, or even be refunded your room price, and change hotels. You can't pay for the room, see it's bad, stay in it for 3 days, then 2 months later complain that it was a bad room. No different than starting to play a game, see how the game play is, see that the progression doesn't meet your expectations after a few weeks, but then continue to play for months or years, only to complain after the fact that the game doesn't live up to what you want the game to be. It's Scopely's game, their design, and their vision of what they want it to be, not ours, the fact that they do listen, and try to make adjustments and improvements based on feedback is to their credit, but that has limits, generally pertaining to how those changes and improvements would impact the overall game design, and their own vision for THIER game. Programing takes time, most of the content just released has most likely been being worked on for the past 3-6 months...... A suggest made today, even one that they want to implement would take months to be brought in to the game. No company will disrupt it's production process, new changes based on feedback are just added in to the current programing time tables. So a suggestion made today, that they decide to implement, most likely wouldn't be seen until January 2025, as the Arcs, and content, and teams, designers, artist, and everyone that works on this game has already/is already working on future projects.
5-star-rooms are already a "standard" - so if they don't meet this standard, It's not my task as a customer, to explain it to the hotel staff 😉
the game has a lot of balancing issues and bugs - for many years now - the got addressed very often (see the feedback and bug report channels!). the problem is: scopely does not see to listen or to care.
The user is no software developer - he can point at a bug - the developer has to fix it. It's not like Scopely does not know, that there are issues. they just don't seem to work on them. And I can say that for sure, because some of the issues are very persistent... for years 😉
I have seen "issues" not be addressed for a long period of time, however I have seen most "Bugs" addressed fairly quickly. Just because you, me, or anyone else sees something we don't like, and even if it is a common "issue" a group of players would like addressed, doesn't mean the developer has to make those changes, as it is their game. Like in your example, Scopely has standards, and has since the game was launched, can you say for sure, that many of the "issues" and "bugs" weren't caused because Scopely tried to address player concerns, moving away from their own design path, which then caused many of the issues you complain about today. Adding something outside of a design path can cause many conflicts, those conflicts manifest in the form of balance issues, and bugs, and other game play problems. While I agree there are things that should be addressed, I don't see how me complaining about them, rather than redressing solutions with-in the game play dynamic isn't helpful. These of course just my opinions, agree or disagree as you wish, but many of the suggestions myself, and others like RevDuece have made, have been implemented in the game, but none of us will ever get everything we would like.
They don't even listen to the solutions presented because they don't like them. Take the kir'shara artifact. They could have refunded it and removed it quickly until it was actually fixed and re introduced. Instead their answer was an ability to shut it off. They didn't fix the mistake no matter how much they try and claim they did. And sure the game is scopelys game. But much like buying a product from a store, if it's broke they should fix it or some other way to make it right. Scopely never makes it right, they just pile on more shiny garbage to distract the players, like squirrels. They know what they are doing when they prey upon people's addictions, it's unethical.
But that’s capitalism baby. 😉
Erm..... Some notice on the server merge would have been nice! What the heck?
This is just ridiculous. I didn't claim the BP, I doubled up on a couple of claims by upgrading the Stone of Memory, I claimed the new mirror wave Syndicate chests, I turned in 3300 emergency rations for Syndicate exp and I'm still short. These Quantium events are just plain stupid. Ita like a Herioc event for Heroic events or Heroic squared events. Absolutely dreadful.
Everytime Scopely gives a new Syndicate exp source they increas this milestone by a factor of 10.
At this point I'm chearing for this game to lose money and close up shop.
<@&509690795536941056>
Yeah you use to to be able to at least with all the sources hit the first milestone F2P but now you barely get anywhere close even if you source everything for 3 days straight
Hey buddy, Draco— I understand your frustration, along with that of other players, about these Quantum events feeling overwhelming. We've already relayed these sentiments to the event team for further review
@raw fiber we got notice of a merger in an hour. Is it accurate? If so we need more notice!
Further review? Really? Y'all messed up and are just pushing more and more players out with the money grabs, do better.
Hey Scopely, only 1 hour notice huh!!?? 👀😳😡
Can I ask which server this is?
S41
ta
I'm trying to find out some information... I guess we'll know in a few minutes though
Thanks for that. So at 42 I’m fair for someone 25 levels above me…..?
What the hell are Scopley smoking?
Grapevine is telling me that it's been postponed and to disregard the warning in GC
Ok
still waiting for direct confirmation, but, got that much at least 😂
I'd expect the merge to happen between now and the new TC season though, saves resetting TC part way through it...
Can y'all make the graphic effect of the new Apex projectile bigger and more frequent during combat? Just asking for visuals
Hi buddy and @fathom cedar ! The server merge has been postponed. Please wait for further updates. (I'll ping you once we have a new date.
The grind is getting to be too much again. We could really use another source of efficiencies like with freebooters.
scopely wants u to spend to get big. the only reason they havent adjusted the pvp bracketing and scoring. that would keep 75% of the gamerbase happy but upset the 25% that bring in the most bucks
The true issue here is that as a player base, we do not trust that feedback is reaching appropriate channels. Too many game features have had issues for far longer than any reasonable stretch of the imagination. Feedback, issue reports, and suggestions just go into a black hole. Downward communication has improved from a year ago, however, upward feedback, issue reports, etc lands in a black hole of “we’re investigating.” That is an unhealthy way to treat a player base. I’d should be expected, going forward, that an issue log is publicly available, and the status of said log is updated as frequently as new content drops. This is what we’re working on, and this is when it will be resolved. <@&509690795536941056>
the only issue here is scopely doesnt have player satisfaction (except those who are on the vip discord and bringing them cash) as a no1 priority. this behaviour is proven every arc launch, every refusal to do something about the pvp bracketing, the slb bracketing wich just hands viuctory to g6 players .. and the player base kinda know this. scopely is not gonna change this.
How do you guys deal with the paid simps trying to convince you there isn't a problem 🤣
u block them
There are no problems that an expectation and reality adjustment can not fix
Not surprised at all that scopley can't follow their own schedule. This message was from June.
Their own policies and particularly those of Xsolla state that the purchase should've been refunded. I fought this fight for a couple weeks. Typical of Scopely, "you used it so it can't be refunded"... How else were we supposed to know it was severely faulty software? They don't care. Right @raw fiber ?
Insult to injury: the people who got it in early release reported all the problems we saw in official release. Scopely knowingly released faulty software that didn't improve for months.
It's still glitchy and doesn't work as advertised
Sure is! It's not the hot garbage it was initially, tho. If it was the low level glitchy it is now when I got it, I wouldn't have taken as much issue. This was just awful and they owed us a refund per xsolla posted policy.
But this is no different than their refusal to enforce the TOS equally across the board. It's a legal binding contract unless it's against a player that is protected by scopely. And they will never tell you why they are protected either
It's not just about the money, they have lost multiple spenders one that out spent the rest of the top 10 combined due to their refusal to enforce it equally. Either they are an employee or they are friends with someone that works for scopely. Cuz with months of evidence they just openly ignored his actions and even told me they wouldn't entertain anymore reports from us about it
tos is just something scopely can use to ban players if they please. naturally big spenders get a free pass on this :p
@uncut spear @tidal notch <@&509690795536941056> I want to thank you for not having a 3 day heavy hitter SLB. 24 hours grinding SLB should be the standard going forward. Please pass along the thanks to whom ever made it 24 hours and not 3 days..
Will pass along!
Also pass on how dumb it is to have a system specific PvE and PvP event in the same flipping systems!
Oh I know a couple of community managers at other developers. They will absolutely be passing on the feedback. I’ve no trouble believing that.
They do a very difficult job
I do however also believe that in Scopely’s case, the higher ups and those that have the real power, the accountants, don’t care at all.
It’s pretty much established practice now in mobile gaming that 2% of the playerbase fund 90% of the game.
Unless you’re a member of that 2%, your opinion is worth zero. Hell, they have their own separate discord with Scopely, they don’t have to post it here.
The whales being fed enough krill is the only feedback that matters.
@raw fiber so which servers are merging with which servers when it happens?
I think that Server 55 should be on the list to have a merger, less and less people are actively competing in events, and making the SLB brackets larger causes issues like people with the D'vor Fresha competing in Mining Monday with people who can't get it. So please merge us with someone. Thanks 👍
We have a big spender on our server that has known we were going to merge since June 29th. He was told July 15th-20th. We got the merge message this morning in gc before it was put on hold.
Ship and Crew assigning is a slow cumbersome process. How about some favourite configurations that can be swapped with a few quick selections. A simple example would be quick select from a mining Rig and optimised crew to say Swarm Attack and optimised crew for all ships in your station.
Oh come on I wanted this tribble but it's behind a 99 dollar pay wall
"Special Events"????
I really wanted that trible
If the people at scoply can make a event to get I don't care how hard as long as it is not a spend one I will kill 1000 hostiles in a day to get it
Where do you go to report a problem with the STFC.space website?
what's the issue?
do you mean like the "officer presets"? they're under a settings button, next to the [i] in the assign officers screen.
you can unlock more slots through the Orion syndicate, and there is research that adds below deck officers.
My feedback, far far far to much federation stuff. We are forced to play on a federation style starbase, we ONLY have federation admirals, we have so many bloody upside down pie lifters its not funny. You have given us the option of Romulan and Klingon allegiences yet we can not refit our starbases to match our faction choice, there is precious little content for the Romulan and Klingon counterparts, we're having the bloody stupid IP's shoved down our throats so its been so heavily federation focussed it makes me sick. Get away from the bloody federation, please by all that is holy get some originality in this universe, start exploring the Romulans or Klingons, get us more Romulan and Klingon content. You already screwed the pooch by making the Scimtar a romulan ship when it was a splinter faction from the Remans that created that unholy ship. Its actually not Romulan and shouldn't be included in their ship line. Hell it doesn't even look Romulan so if you could make up for it by actually giving us some good Romulan Arcs, some good klingon Arcs, Romulan and Klingon Admirals, Romulan and Klingon base refits so we can get the hell away from this ultra federation supremecy the galaxy is feeling, we'd be much appreciative.
And as an aside, your original romulan ships you designed for this game beat the Scimtar by leaps and bounds. The Tribune and legionary looks amazing. Next time, don't just try and shove an IP ship in there without understanding its actual origins or for the sake of shoving an ip ship in there. Its more of an insult than actually working on an original ship design for a faction.
The Northcutts hull health doesn’t update as you slide the tier bar.
Do any of the comnents here get to any Scopely representative?
It is read by the cms and taken up the chain
Then I must accept that they do not care about any of the comments?
@tidal notch Any updates on Khirsarah artifact. It is still not working properly even after 2 fixes. And I've heard rumours about a possible reimbursement for those who bought this broken artifact
<@&509691205798592532> - if you can please feed this back to the devs this would be fab. Having notifications showing permanently that you can't clear, is /really frustrating/. It's the same for the recruit tab with the Holodeck Enterprise officers. Please can you make it so that only notifications appear when you can actually claim things?? Please???
This is what's keeping the notification active. Forgot to add.
Can confirm it's happening on EU112 too across my alliance, really annoying as it's already a hunt the red pips for 30 minutes each morning. Having one you can't clear also means you are more likely to miss one as it becomes available!
This is a known issue; the team is working on it. Having PIPs that can't be cleared is a bit frustrating, hehe, from personal experience
hahaha my RL name is Pip. No, I can't be cleared either 🤣
Where there’s a will, there’s a way…
Could finally just get rid of the obnoxious red dots entirely... That would be wonderful. They don't work correctly anyways and never have... Scrap them!
This game used to stand apart for appearance. Too much junk on the screen anymore.
he already said his name is Pip, not Will 😄
And if everyone fires at will, they can also put the same effort into clearing pips
I still want his trible
Your 4* 300% Damage vs Armadas exocomp really sucks. Lost an armada which I normally win when buffed by Titan. Last time I use one of them
Shocking, Star Trek centered around the Federation and a Star Trek game does the same. 🤯
I am getting tired of Scopely's shortcommings. You need to fix the issues with this game before you add new things to it. Spend a little money and upgrade from dial-up to broadband so you get rid of the lag and connection issues that exsist.
Leave the extra refinery options that accidentally came with the Liquid D prime.
might sell more primes, but scopely dont like making money apparently
@nova sierra @tidal notch @raw fiber Leave the extra refinery options that accidentally?? (test your stuff before you sell / launch stuff) came with the Liquid D prime. I bought the prime because it was showing an extra refinery option. You cant change it now!!! that we spent money based on the information other players provided us. I will contact the BBB and file a report against Scopley if removed. This needs to stop and you need to own up to mistakes. If I went to a store and something was mis-labeled, purchased it and walked out of the store, no one is coming after me to take it back.... We already have a freaking broken item (Kir'Shara artifact) in the game and still cant get it fix. LEAVE your mistake alone people purchased based on what we got.
Refund it, false advertising. And don't wait for them to change. Aks refund earlier, so they will consider the whole change thing.
I'll take a refund at this point if they change it.
Yep, annoying bug. When you try to claim error message comes up. Another thing without testing.
Can we stop this flashing please
@raw fiber my mirror universe refining options are gone.
@raw fiber my Trellium A&D refines are also gone
I’m lvl 46 with all buildings , turned lvl 33 syndicate and I see no difference from all the buffs from it. Still seem to have exact same as it was before turning lvl 33 syndicate. The so called buff system seems to not work at all, at least I see no differences at all
<@&509691205798592532> can u report the broken mirror refinery please.
Reported it, mine is gone too 😭
thanks fella, it seems in trying to address the mistake the made with the prime they deleted everyones refinery for mirror universe
Really? This makes sense to you? Have a chest that constantly shows claimable to tell you you can't claim a chest? COME ONNNNNNN....there's got to be at least one adult working there??
Omg, they removed the wrong refinery

just udder stupidity, you guys wonder why i only ever post in here with negativity.. it's because you all are always doing something stupid. check you work before publishing it, just ridiculous!!! (Trell A/D refinery related)
isn't that what users are for? instead of paying testers, users pay to test 😂
lol pretty much!!! ..... They wonder why more and more people are quitting too, it's just simple bs mistakes like this that get people fed up with their crap
much like governments, they probably only look at the delta and the net effect, so as long as the over all player count and spends dont go negative, they wont notice how many leave.
Fixed
you can sell this idea to Scopley!
that post-it will cost you 99.99
Wait, you mean another day has passed and people still aren't happy with the scopely gestapo? Much shock. Very surprise.
I'm sure the people doing the actual work try but lack of checking shows, with the content writers struggling with English clearly not being their native language. I imagine people playing in other languages see the same?
Now, on server 16, we can't attack, we can't mine and all of our armadas are getting canceled. this is unreal
Shocking....a troll....on Discord.....🤯
🤷🏻♂️ that was a slow pitch softball screaming hit me.
Not really. If Scopely is going to step as far away from canon as they do with almost everything anymore, they might as well put that imagination they're pulling info from toward faction choices they gave us and then did nothing with...
Why is every battle taking 20 sec and then my shield goes down and I have to wait for it to come back up. Frustrating. Too much to grind for this.
Just noticed that I can finally buy NX-01 BPs in the ExBorg Faction Store.... 39's previously couldn't... is that a bug, or have they finally realised it'll be slow going anyway?
it's a 40+ ship
I know.... and it's going to take a long time for me to get it anyway.... 1-2 BPs at a time... which made it rather silly that they didn't allow 39s to at least start gathering the BPs... now apparently we can?
Gotta have an imagination to start with.
is there any reason the s31 Torpedo pods are more expensive to upgrade than their counterparts for other ship types?
all tiers don't cost the same. the ones that open new abilities cost more
Can I just comment on f2p to p2p on this game. I have played a few and I actually find STFC alot more reasonable than most. I don't spend alot, maybe £50 in the last year. But I still compete in slb's, pvp and especially incursions, where I see my progress/power/ships etc.... I'm ops 45 now, maybe a month away from 46 and now at 300/350 for G4 rare. The game requires planning and being happy at your capability in game.
This game crashing so much. Switch a ship crash, switch to station view crash, refine anything chance of crash. Scopely needs to devote more effort to game stability and forget these stupid new contents
Because they’re different tiers. If you look at the S31 Torpedos you’re unlocking a new buff by tiering it. I think they’re all like this; unlocking a new buff = more expensive upgrade.
2k daily hostile limit is too low!
The welding tech tab in the gifts section is not clearing. It is highlighted but says it was removed from store. And the pip will not clear.
Just adding my voice to the mix, this is really annoying. It's been days now!
Why do none of the redeem codes work? They all say I'm ineligible but I meet the criteria
Reflection for 39 and lower, AlterEgo for 40+
Please check your inventory, even if you see this message you should be credited directly in your stock.
Also check you are using the right code for your ops level.
Alterego worked but none of the do...eg Kirk, ent3,etc
Is there a code running I don't know about? Not put one in for weeks.
Those are for fresh accounts, if alterego worked for you, you are not a fresh account and old arc codes are expired.
The support bot sucks. Using this as the only report and feedback feels even more useless than submitting a ticket did before. At least then, you were outright told you were being ignored.
There is an email option you can use in #👽-how-to-contact-support
Did they change something with the aquatic battleships? Used zu kill 53er with leslie Crew, now had 10 fails in a row, with the go home gun in round 1. This is just a little more than 30% 🙈
was it the actual go home gun or the stat check
Go home Gun end of round 1, 7 Billion damage, .... used to need about 60 rounds to bring battleships lvl 53 down..
Just 815 more hulls until I can finish the Xindi hostile field training. It'll fly by I'm sure.
let us know when you get 30 wins in a row to balance the odds 👍 😂
I seem to have this issue too
It took me a while of getting whipped by the 53s to notice that I was getting wiped by the 4th gun rather than the 5th because my mitigation tanked higher than the 51s.
I'm not saying that's what's happening here but I say this every chance I get in case it helps someone else avoid feeling as foolish as I did 😄
Anyone can pls point me in the direction where I can report a player?
Can the Talios T12 transwarp coil ops level be reviewed? I'm Ops 54 and my Talios is maxed at T11, bar that which is all I need to tier it to 12 but I have to get to Ops 58... that seems far to high. Especially given all the larger ships. Why not bring it down to 54 or even 56 would be better.
Click on their message in-game and there should be a report option. I'd also file a ticket with CS when you do that. #👽-how-to-contact-support
My girlfriend is threatening to break up with me because I keep muttering "This action isn't allowed in the ship's current state" in my sleep.
How many months has the Kir'Shara been released now?
Fix it finally please, this is frustrating asf when you don't finish waves because of this..
And yes you can deactivate it, but that's hardly a fix
For TC season pass, please fix it. As it stands now, it is very bad. It only rewards points for players sitting in an active takeover. It doesn't allow for pvp fights, raiding, anything else, just sitting. This hurts a majority of your player base. Those that can't make takeovers, small alliances, silo players, and even big alliances when mire money prevents them from doing takeovers.
My suggestion to fix all this is simple. Let players earn points for pvp combat in a takeover. 50 points per lose and 100 points per win. Let us earn 1 point per opc taken geom any TC any time. Keep points for being in an active tc. This will allow EVERYONE to compete and give them a good chance at finishing vs those with multiple amalgam to cloak or just not even trying.
You could even incentives it by finishing the event on a successful takeover from another alliance!
There are ao many great options but right now it is the worst.
Curious, why reset TC on Monday? Monday is 2* TCs so we can't do anything with them on Monday anyway...
Might as well just reset it on Tuesday and save us a maintenance downtime.
i have a gift constanly up fo welding hardware but i cant claim it it says i cant have more but it it always there
it's being looked into
The game reallys needs a way to see what missions you've yet to start without having to check every system that gives missions
<@&509690795536941056> Hello! 😄 Any mergers coinciding with territory reset this time?
mergers are post poned
Nope. Mergers have been postponned.
Little disappointed that the store coins from sms's jumped up yesterday to 12k and now back to 6k. The slb's are not great payouts for those not heavy p2w
I know I'm beating a dead horse about some of these bugs. But pc is still glitching out and crashing. Errors in collecting things that arent there. I'm glad its not just us. Microsoft had an update yesterday that shut down flights all over the world and crashed a ton of banks. We don't have it so bad. 🤔
Looks like the people who are too responsible for events don't have a plan and honestly you prove every event more incompetence you would have to be fired, here introduce an event plan that is revised after the start and then events are introduced that are announced 1 day in advance. Honestly, you're like Wesley crusher, you don't know what you're getting, but rather know different options. And you make more more for players who put money into it and then mess it up, but you can't even plan an ark from start to finish without making several updates and changes, some of which are really bad. Apart from the fact that if you continue like this, you lose the community
The one and only time they give the update a couple days to be reported broken before it affects everyone 😂
You might have the Admin Alert messages show up in all the Alliance Chats as well. Galaxy Chat is a dumpster fire that nobody looks at. Just sayin
What's with the lag? It took 20 minutes after collecting my wave pass rewards for them to finally show in my inventory, waves are horrendously laggy, barely got into round 10, had longer battles than normal some lasting as much as 20 seconds...
2 Words… SERVER MERGER!!
Server 55 needs to merge to stay alive… Boredom leads to more people quitting
Scopley. You’re game is absolutely garbage and has been running like a pile of 💩 since a week before this arc. What are you guys doing over there? Running on dial up? How can making the game run smoothly be so hard?😄
I've been enjoying this game, especially as a low spender account. However, the bugs recently have become ever more apparent. It makes me wonder if Scopely has laid off employees recently like many tech companies and we as customers are feeling the back end of those decisions.
Mirror wave is to lagy and not playable at all. Only 3 wave made with 4 players over ops 57
Really bad lag on 115 at the moment anything you can do to help would be great.
Same on s132 - laggy as hell
they're feeling bad about ppl missing out on the CrowdStrike issues yesterday so today is to make up for that
What the heck is up with the lag !
It’s ridiculous the wave are impossible to do
So generous of them
Is there anything planned today (background) stuff ?
WHAT am i downloading?
S172 unplayably laggy today - seems to be widespread
Yep, close to be unplayable
fix the laggggggggg server 139 EU
The resistance chits - ultra pack changed from 200k chits at the beginning of the arc month to 120k without any warning or notice. Luckily I noticed before the purchase but care someone the change and the fact it is changed without any notice?
There were 2 99 packs at the start, one limited time at 200k, the other 120k iirc
the 200k one had more time on it, but it's gone now
I remember it was Limit 1, but that’s about it
That 200k pack might come back. If there's no urgency to spend currency, I'd wait to see if it does.
Good to know, was wondering given it had plenty of time left on it
<@&509690795536941056> can we get an official word posted in the announcements channel on if the “rare officer choice” coins will be usable in a future arc if we chose not to spend on Troi/Ezri?
Great question!
Official word is that they will not extend past this month, make sure to use them while the exchange is up
Request changing that. I’m not a PvP inclined player so these two are of lesser interest to me. To make these true “choice” coin’s would be player friendly way to promote all play styles.
For the love of god give us the ability to turn these off or fix them. They come back time after time after time. One reminder a day should be enough!
Fix the lag and fix the bugs!!!
@tidal notch any announcements for server merges?
Only that they've been postponned.
do you mean territory will end on tuesday, it can't start on tuesday as there are no defenses on a tuesday, can only start on a wednesday, you need to get your definitions in proper order instead of causing confusion
Could we get a suggestion to the dev teams, whereas event tokens can be converted to some non-event token that can be used anytime (even if just for resources and nothing special)
That way they still have use if unspent or someone doesn't want what's on offer during the event
When are they boosting event currency, its pitiful

but whose getting merged though
This happens literally everyday on iOS and often. Many times do we have to close the game and reboot with this screen.
It’s blown for several arcs, they don’t care . They are trying to force you to spend 💴 💰. Scopely has been getting cheap on everything. It does seem to be even worse since the Saudis bought them.
so no mergers till the next terri season? or some lucky chaps are gonna have half a territory season with a reset during the merge ????
I think the RNG for Aquatics is just plain wrong or broken. I used about 10 tokens. About 8 of them had the "go home" gun fire immediately. The other 2 let me go between 2-3 before I got the gun. 30% seems completely wrong.
Is it the go home gun, or the stat check?
Go home. 7B power shot. Yet, sometimes I'll get a string of 8 in a row before getting the gun.

This is the main problem of the Borg Cube: the officer stats what I need. It doesn't matter how much you do officer research: to get more stats (I did many of those). The Borg Cube needs way too much. It enormously hinders the use and utility of this ship. Lower that amount of the officer stats what Borg Cube need: the usefulness and effectiveness of this ship will greatly increase.
Same, got sent home 6 times in a row yesterday on 55s, all of them first round 7B (or ~8.6B crit) shots. And I’ve cheesed 55s before, for what it’s worth…
That stuff’s broken IMO, I’d like to see some evidence for their claim of a 30% chance 🙄
I've worked out it would take 144 hours for me to kill the 3000 ships for the Monaveen.
Kind of excessive when the rewards for passive grinding are so much higher.
That seems off by at least a factor of 10 if not more? You should be able to kill a lot more than 20 ships an hour.
What do you mean by 2-3?
If the 'go home' gun doesn't fire in the first round, it doesn't fire at all.
Is your mitigation over 70%? If it isn't then even the regular weapons could be doing the job against Leslie.
Hah, yes! Missing decimal point😄
Yeah - I wasn't that clear. The other 2 runs I was able to kill 2-3 battleships before I got the big gun. Basically, I got a string of "go home" and then I'd get a short run where I could kill battleships. I was killing 44s. I have no problems killing them - at all - as long as I don't get the "go home" gun.
I'm just saying that the RNG is not 30%. Something is off. It either needs to be lowered to 10% or fix the percentage to actually be 30%.
Depends on the quality of the pRNG, the numbers generated, the sample of numbers taken and people’s grasp how it works.
There’s a difference between “30% of the time” and “RNG emits 1 to 30 out of 100”. You could get a value in the range 1 to 30 100 times in a row. Whilst that is, based on the sample, 100%, it had a 30% chance to trigger each time.
Ah right, it did sound a lot like my situation where I stepped up to 53s and my mitigation tanked, leaving me with very random results until I realised the fourth shot was killing me, not the 5th even though I had enough hull. But I see your not going for a one fight Leslie runs anyway.
From my recent runs on 51s I've probably been winning 5 out of 6 at least. It's just luck at that point.
Why it seems like this one in ships free chest has no alternate reward? All the rest have an alternate reward
No seems, only doesn’t.
I have a little comment to the newly sorted shop section of the webpage: Could you PLEASE!!! stop the page from auto-scrolling back to the top for every redeemed gift crate? It's so incredibly annoying to scroll down again for every crate -.-
I find it more confusing than annoying, makes it hard to be sure what you tried to buy
Just seen this, 16 mins ago now. For 45 minutes longer it's still the 21st where I am. This means that this announcement is completely wrong. Is it the 23rd, in 2 days time, or tomorrow... the 22nd? 😂
Scopely math. Don’t ask, the answer will give you a headache that even morphine can’t help.
NX01 worse ship ever, Scopley [Dopley] really messed up with that 1
Why is the cargo size of my stella shrinking. It was at 240k, then dropped to 170k, today it is at 134.75k?
change in territory or fleet commanders? crew?
Investigating
billy strikes again
Same crew and commanders as last week, 170k, now 134.75k
How so? I find mine does well getting loot from Aquatic interceptors and cheese whacks of the battleships. What did you need it to do?
below deck change ? edata / laan. no clue... mine is the same....
No change
@slender monolith I would like reliability, it sometimes goes in & does really well, then other times I blow 2 or 3 token to get the job done same crew. I also had it buffed & boosted with Titan 2 exos & could not take out a survey after 3 attempts
Said it was very easy 🤣
oh - i guess territory only has protected cargo buffs. - wondering if you scrapped your stella and its not lvl 45. I cant think of anything else 🤣
shrinkflation?
Are you fighting Reptilians? NX-01 is only really effective against the Aquatics in the token systems.
@slender monolith Both can be frustrating, the last was a LVL41 Wanted Reptilian Warship, I was buffed out to the max, it said really easy. Well I will keep building it up, but honestly I am tired of it, not a priority. Thx
The game is not that important, the math bothers my sense of righteousness. Thx for the response.
keep in mind that unless you have the critical floor prime or the favor at max, buffing can be counterproductive vs xindi, as it increases your crit chance and thus the odds of your shots doing less damage
Admin, tomorrow is the 22nd. Do you mean Tuesday? Or are you doing the two nights in a row thing announced sometime last week?
Would be super cool if y'all could fix this glitch with that pip that isn't disappearing. It's super dooper annoying.
servers are down? (Official announcement) not seeing it 😉
Yup. And the announcement is that TC reset is happening NOW. Everyone who assumed it was moved with the TC start was wrong. Pleas for clarification were ignored. Now we know.
ahh, now I am... if 'servers down' means "here, you can play, but you'll get a server error 500" multiple times... go figure
guess someone forgot to inform the server hamster maintenance is tomorrow
just close the game when announced maintenance starts....
that was very sneaky... not announcing the TC-Reset Maintenance in General ...
no need... it finally got its act together... but as @heady knoll noted.... I don't think this Maintenance mode launched as cleanly as planned 🙂
It would be really awesome if the two of you would not feed different contradicting Infos to the community. I believe many of us did not prepare for the maintenance today! @tidal notch @uncut spear
How is any of that contradicting? Maintenance on 2 days, TC starts later on the 2 day.
Sorry... "misleading" is probably the better term for what this is.
hey guys, why do you say that we're misleading or contradicting or even not communicating
servers are back up - you can check please the ingame news published 3d 12h ago.. it's everything in there, and it's in the game (not everyone is on Discord). though we also announced it on Discord.
same as for the 3h maintenance that starts tomorrow: it's been announced in the game as well as here
I’m still unsure how lol, maintenance Monday, maintenance Tuesday, TC starts Tuesday, all in the first post. 2nd post corrects 1st, which was subsequently edits to reflect that.
I think if you didn’t go back to read the corrected first announcement, you would have been confused. Initially there was maintenance on Monday, tc start on Monday and then another maintenance on Tuesday. When the second announcement said actually tc start is on Tuesday, the natural assumption would be the associated maintenance also happens on Tuesday.
the tomorrow 23rd admin message didn't help (message that went out on the 21st)
Because none of the announcements actually used the words territory will reset during X maintenance. Some of us, obviously incorrectly, assumed it would reset with the start of the new Season, given that today is the last day of the territory week. With Tuesday traditionally being the rest day for TCs, and the reset day in the past, the rest of us assumed tomorrow's maintenance would be for reset.
We need it spelled out for us. Use specific, non ambiguous wording so we can't get it wrong.
Seems like at scopley one doesn't know what the other is doing.🤦🏻♀️
Why can't you give CLEAR information. Territory reset with 1 day still left on the current season.
Sierra, I dont want to be contentious, but the second post that anounced that the TC season would start on Tuesday and not Monday did give the impression that the maintenance would happen then as well.
And since this didnt happen in previous TC resets, it was fair for people to assume that the reset would happen then as well
point taken.. we'll be much more clear in the future moving forward 🙇♀️ . just a question: you guys normally look at the ingame news or you're mostly following the announcements on Discord?
For updates, i look in STFC Discord, not ingame. Ingame i play the game😅
People look at a combination of all 3. (in game news board, the in game chat messages and the discord messages. Note that the in game message board does not mention the territory reset date. The in game message did not mention it either. And the in game messae was also off by a day when it went out on the 21st saying tomorrow the 23rd for the second maintenance
Also, the discord announcement originally mentioned monday for the reset, but that wasn't included in the update message and was omitted completely. When they said that the new season started on tuesday, people then assumed that ws when it was also resetting. Which is what is throwing people off.
The logic is - MT is always Tuesday (as there is no Takeovers on that day). If you already have a MT on the tuesday, having a short one on Monday makes zero sense as no one would expect 2 in the same week - especially when the 2nd one is to put the new TC season in.
TBH - I have never looked at in game news- hard to find and generally out of date because a newer update might be in Discord
Having both saying the same thing would be helpful... but Discord is usually the most up-to-date, so I'd normally trust to Discord
It’s been a shambles, mate. Completely unclear and there have been days and days mixed up in the last week by y’all.
It is impossible to plan properly when it’s this poor.
Personally I pay attention to discord first. However both need to state the same information in the same time, Otherwise you should just disband ingame news altogether. The take the place of helps anyway. Thanks for keeping this issue in mind.
I had no idea the reset was happening this early either… woke up and it’s too late to set a long shield in our trt 😭
rizzler
There are many reasons why me and many others are so horribly frustrated with the game. These announcements, how confusing they are and how we just lost our territory thinking that this would happen tomorrow is definitely one of the reasons.
Thanks for erasing tc holdings a day early. Alliances paid for those services through Monday!
And with gold shields expiring way earlier than normal, many players are going to get caught unawares
What the hell is going on?
Be explicit in saying when reset would happen would be a good start.
hey Ro, why expiring way earlier than normal? we did 4h last time too
Because maintenance usually runs 2-3 hours longer. Gold shields are going to expire when people are still in bed
And because y’all explicitly corrected your announcement to emphasize the territory reset would be Tuesday
I try to look at both as I pass on most of the announcements to my alliance so you can see why I'm not impressed at having to decipher your announcements, since obviously, like everyone else I got it wrong, therefore passing on incorrect info to my alliance... who, by the way, don't bother looking at either as its too hard to understand for them.
Also, why on earth was territory reset while tcs were still happening anyway? Tuesdays (Australian time) are no TC days and the only logical day for reset.
Strictly speaking, they were vague and it only says that the season is starting, but not one Message does say that there is a reset on Monday.🥴
@tidal notch the TC reset was not clear. You have it starting Tuesday but failed to mention Territory resets today, Monday.
so, there is no territory takeover scheduled for tuesdays but you reset on monday 🤯
@raw fiber @tidal notch Territory has reset already - completely out of line with both announcements. Please extend peace shields until event reset Tuesday to allow everyone time to relocate.
Also no update on whats going to happen in TC, as there were some changes?
I'll communicate this to the team
that is the season starting..
for TC reset, we have historically provided 4h ceasefire since it's just 1h downtime, unlike the game updates.
but @raw fiber is requesting an extension
I'm on it buddies!
I missed out on getting my Monoveen because of this crap
Because territory reset, or you couldn’t read notices?
The in game message was changed and I didn’t get a notification. See it differently now but Discord is usually kept up to date better. Also history… last 3 resets have been on Tuesday. Why switch it to Monday and take away the 5* mining for today’s Mining events?
If a season starts on Tuesday then people expect the reset to happen when the season starts. I recommend you extend the maintenance shield because you communicated poorly. You also did not announce maintenance. I personally avoid on game news because you make it a box that blocks in game helps so I have to immediately clear it.
Why was announced that first TC reset was at Monday, then corrected to Tuesday and now reset was done today???
Now all strategies gone, no chance to prepare!?! Come on Scopely!
@tidal notch #⭐-official-announcements message
Territory has reset...
https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-its-a-fake-angry-lie-liar-gif-22861853
They did announce the maintenance. But the reset timing was very poorly communicated and done prematurely.
surely, since you screwed up with the TC reset being a day early... the peace shields should have been given a 24hr extra... the day you stole from us.... not a 'oh noes, heres 8 hours more because... you noticed!
Scopely have reset the territories two days early, meaning that 'we' cannot now start TC 4 from within our previous territory......usual strategy is out the window, a complete nightmare......Scopely admin is awful.
This territory reset idea was the worst idea in the history of the game. During an slb and other stuff that the territory buffs are necessary for like war room there is a reset, this hits everyone and spoils the game. Whole servers have come to agreements with territory where all alliances can gain points in one way or another and this reset malarky just messes with it all. How long will it take before realisation that basically no one wants this in the game or at least the largest population of members. 🤷♂️
Today is 2-star, so none will be taken, tomorrow is none, you'll begin Wed.
Interesting tactic. I’ll have to remember it in case next season works out like between 2/3.
I follow discord announcements as in-game news often show up late, e.g. a "new" announcement pops and at the top may say "3d 12h ago"
Even more classic was Hoobishan coming up for its regular TC... but no-one being able to even try for it because... its a tier 2 TC zone, and a Tier 1 TC zone doesn't come up until... Wednesday.... which is why the resets are meant to be on the 'down day' Tuesday, when there are no TCs
(( @vast plinth mentioned it first 😉 , but only because I was waiting for the slow-chat to end ))
You say reset, but someone still has a 2* territory under their control.
Yes, we know that....but we will have to keep sending in ships from outside the territory, for a takeover...... which is pretty frustrating.....
In game news is another red dot that won't go away until 3 tries. Definitely rely on discord, so much as you'll allow (reset being officially announced for tomorrow). Change in game news to a web link like the code redemption?
This territory reset is a total mess. First you post monday, then Tuesday and now you made the reset altrough monday. People were not prepared now for this...
Assuming because when MT was on, that Takeover was occuring - so it still went ahead and was won after they striped them all
Ya I bet you truly appreciate coalitions deleting people from territories and using propaganda and lies to get it. All while forcing people to quit from the declining social aspect of being forced to play with stolen valor sociopaths. You really have no clue, or you do and you don't care. Neither is an excuse for your poor community management skills. Love watching you fail.
Every other time there has been a territory reset or in game update, it's always been on Tuesday morning. Which makes the most since since there is no territory capture events on Tuesdays. So why would Scopely change things and screw it up?
Not usually one to complain about these things, but waking up early to a 4 hour shield... pulling token miners prior to Mining Monday start to prevent being shieldless and then hours later getting a notification that the shields are extended due to Scopely's screw up with communication is ... frustrating
This was the ingame message. Not a single word about resetting territory on monday 😡
Communication is awful
Yep, absolutely....we're all ready for TC Reset on Tuesday, and strategising accordingly, and now it is totally screwed.......TC is a pain in the backside anyway......not a good game feature.
I guess they threw “reset” in with “territory changes”, which is logical.
between the messages from last week, and with this message being posted in game on July 21st ... lets just say miscommunication is amazing . dates and proper communication are highly important
For clarity, from July 21st, tomorrow would have been July 22nd. I know that calendars are hard
Is TC turned off for today, there are TCs that happen on Monday? If the TC stuff isn't turned off today does that mean whoever takes it keeps it then like I am thinking?
yes, but first you somehow have to manage to capture a tier 2 system without owning a tier 1 system
You jest… but glitches.
@raw fiber In true we aways had ceasefire shields of 8h. 1st time I saw this small one. Was it 3 or 4h shield??
initial was 4
then we added +8
Certainly, buddy! Effective communication and clarity around dates are crucial for everyone. Moving forward, we'll ensure that all messages and announcements are clearly dated to avoid any confusion 🥹
How about clearly worded too?
If you end this full reset mess no one seems to like, you won't have to worry about these "miscommunications" (like this one that clarified a previous one that originally stated today)
It was created after some raids started after maintences cause players could not put shields cause of after maintences dificults to loogin. ED: Tks Short
Instead of extending the peace shield an additional 8 hours, why don't you give people the particles they can't claim today because of your screw up?
what particles? what screws up? what cant be clain today? Day started just a few hours before maintence ends.
"Given the recent Territory Reset situation, we are making a one-time exception to extend the ceasefire shield by an additional 8 hours."
I hate people who can't admit they messed up.
Really shaking up the buffs in territory systems with time to plan would be better. I don’t mind the reset. I don’t like the cluster of confusion that comes with it. But so far… nothing exciting has happened with buffs.
What an absolute joke. You tell us reset will take place today with a 4 hour shield. Thats fine so i open up that shield and because im going to be out of the game i stick up a 4 hour shield only to find 10 mins later you give us another 8 hour shield. Why not stop this blundering around, make plans and stick to them or better still stop the tc resets. They havent worked as you hoped they would. In fact after 2 weeks its as you were
They never ever gave 4h shields... it was aways being 8h. The gold shields are a tool to prevent people that cant logging to be unfairly raided. Open a tiket to ask for a redeem on 1x 4h token shield.
You need to reinstate the territories to the previous owners and put the reset back a week, to next Tuesday, so that we can all prepare properly.......
The real question is whether or not we can capture territories starting today.
In theory not. All captures today are 2*. Nobody have a connected 1* atm, so no captures today
You still have to own a 1* territory to claim a 2* territory , so yeah no captures today like BadCarma said
for some players there was no extension of 8h!
bad bad bad shield has been extended.... i looked in the beginning of the afternoon then the shield 3 hour now i look 8 hour because of that i recalled my miners i don't like this method
They just need to restart the game fully.
Thanks for stripping territories a day early! Yesterday you confirmed maintenance Tuesday morning! But instead you did it Monday early AM, while we were sleeping?!
Now we’ve lost one of our days of services. And had our miners attacked.
Why do this? Any new territory event can’t start until Wednesday anyway!
which shield is being extended, obviously not todays since thats has ended
Today was “territory changes”, guess they decided a reset at that point was most sensible, otherwise people might go wasting resources enabling things for a day.
Please PLEASE get better at Territory related communication. We need to know further in advance when you actually plan to reset it, because there has been no consistency. While yes, there was an announcement that stated there would be maintenance overnight last night, many of us did not realize that was the resetting maintenance.
For servers that have communication among alliances about the next TC season's takings, having more than a few days notice is needed. Feeling very frustrated right now.
You gave an announcement that Territory reset would be on the 23th in stead of the 22nd. Now we don’t have any territory anymore and can’t mine!!! I hope a huge compensation chest will follow. Not happy about this !!
*Reinstate and leave it there. Full reset is garbage, widely rejected by players, @raw fiber
No, the announcement said the new season would start on the 23rd. Seems no one actually said when the reset would be, so either it was meant to be tomorrow, during maintenance, or today and not spelled out.
Bad communication from Scopely!!
What ever happened to that eigth hour shield extension? I never saw it.
Did you attack someone?
I had to restart the app to get it to appear
8h is no extension. Its the usal running time of a peace shield
Not yet. Restarting the game on PC did the trick to make the new shield appear. Thanks!
Are you asking because you don't understand how territories work?
It’s an extension on the 4h one that was running at the time, 4 + 8 more is morer!
Territory reset should have been tomorrow with the scheduled downtime. Resetting today means no TC and players misjudging shields to cover if they wanted to remain in territory.
Please give more delphic expanse tokens
this lag is getting crazy, i am stuck collecting my AT rewards!
And yet the season can’t actually start until wednesday. Meanwhile, for the past several days many alliances renewed services knowing they would end on Tuesday. Losing monday without notice means losing a day’s worth of particles, enhanced isogen refining, etc
We would get a comp chest if they cared. But they do not, so be quite and drink your grog and eat your grull.
what the heck happened? My game just went super-ultra-mega laggy and I can't do ANYTHING
lag is back. please find it a new home like say your monopoly game please
@everyone
Hey Commanders,
Given the recent Territory Reset situation, we are making a one-time exception to extend the ceasefire shield by an additional 8 hours.
We truly appreciate the dedication and effort that each alliance management team puts into planning for our alliance territories and strategic maneuvers.
Thank you for your understanding.
LLAP 🖖
Simpauly
Thanks for the "one time exception" seeing as you all did it a day early.
What are you doing!!! You cut off the overflow 3 spots early. In doing so you robbed me of 16.5K of uncommon ore. I NEED that to tier up to next level and was anxiously awaiting it's arrival!! You owe me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@raw fiber @tidal notch Thanks for the extended peace shield. Please could announcements about Territory reset be made earlier in the week going forwards? We didn’t switch services on in our level 3 system to save alloys but would have done the same with our level 2s if we’d known earlier (takeovers were on Thursday and announcement wasn’t until Friday). I expect a lot of alliances have wasted alloys, especially with the reset happening a day early.
another territory reset , we just had one a couple months ago wtf
I finished the Battle Pass for the day and did not get the rewards. Is there an issue??
battlepass 300 points short of next reward, perhaps they're trying to string it out a bit
Seriously there was nothing said about the TCs being reset today just the TC BP starts tomorrow. Kinda messed up.
Definitely a comms issue happened there. When Hamster posted that the TC season would now start on Tuesday, I feel there should've been a further statement on that message (rather than editing previous) that the maintenance was still on for Monday. A lot of people assumed that the TC season start = TC reset on same day.
Of course, if you actually think it through that makes no sense that the actual territory reset would be at event reset Tuesday but CMs should probably know better lol.
I confess I initially made that same mistake then went back and had to reread it and think things through.
they're happening every 3 months, this is like the 4th time
And re: the battle pass, that isn't super unusual to have a day or 2 with no new rewards
Of course it's Scopelys attention to detail I love most. Great work on the model of this "borg cube" people....unlike any other ship we've seen before
Please finally improve the Rare Arc officer sourcing. I can get either Ezri or Troi this month but its a joke. How can it be easier to unlock Epic officers then it is to unlock the rare officer of the arc
Why did server 67 Territory drop if it was announced tc is on Wednesday
Will try to get the TC reset announcement out sooner next time!
<@&509690795536941056> I just try to use the astrometric scan of the Voyager for like the second time ever and I again realized why ti sucks so bad. The interface isn't intuitive and if you make 1 wrong click, it's just gone and you wont know where the base is. Perhaps there should be a 3 tab under the battle reports window for astrometric scans, so that they save the scan and you don't waste the rss to do the scan.
now I have to wait 15+ minutes and hope my target doesn't warp away. FTS
Right up here
So is the gift button intended to replace the annoying " YOUR TREASURY IS FULL" Banner or is this your coy way to irritate us further????????????
Btw did you visit the section for the latest news video stuff recently just to get to help your alliance members? 🙈🤣
and why two maintenances back to back. could have done them on tuesday both ..
Feedback from the future...I am a time travel with my personal time machine that needs fuel so I am waiting for garbage.
"Scopely, you can not plan a server maintenance when a SLB/ALB event is running...even if we only have to refresh mining nodes when we remember to refresh them....but no, you can not plan it during these events"
...but future can change...or not...maybe yes but not...yes? not?...oh: garbage....I must back to the future
How about fixing the iso boards in alliance tab one of these updates smh
Why not do all the maintenance in 1 night?
Why not fix real problems instead of a battlelog export issue? Like game crashing constantly or freezing when changing ships/crews. That is a real problem
because it's very dangerous to do multiple different updates at the same time. Every maintenance is at night, night in Los Angeles (01:00 AM)
maintenance 2 days in a row?!?
as was foretold on Friday
This is some ** putting a q-trial hostile in token space
make sure your station isn't near token, high warp or superhighways
It would be an easy fix to ensure that they couldn't appear in token spaces.
It's not maintenance if it's announced the same day/evening. That's called a service outage.
Trying to say this as diplomatically as possible.
Thanks so much for confusing and making sceduling territory season so difficult to understand!! Was busy this morning and not aware we would be losing territory because of your confusing message with the correct DATE, but the WRONG DAY. Compared to how it's usually done, it was quite different. As such, my base was hit and I lost some RSS. Thanks for making things clear as mud!!
@tidal notch Will the live stream topic about why you can't fix a button (welding hardware chest) since 5 days now, while the Trellium refinery bug was fixed in an instant? Or we could talk about Voyager mining systems, which are bugged more than a year ago.
I'm sorry to say but you know, in your heart of hearts, what the answers are.
nothing of this will happen it will be just another merch show hyping the exciting upcoming p2p features
i find it quite strange that game devs dont tell players how to adjust comp settings to stop lag or bugs
@tidal notch I am sure I am not the only one who remembers when Eco joined Rev Deuce's stream live during an incursions to discuss the state of the game and the lag was taking 50 seconds plus for the battle to happen Rev brought up so many things from the community and Eco agreed to 90% yet nothing actually came out of it just lip service to the community and Rev, we've heard the lies too many times we know that Scopely's focus is purely the store and quantity not the quality they promised us. 98% of the community might as well literally talk to a wall because that's exactly what we are doing figuratively doing. So please stop doing these videos unless you're actually going to stand by the words you tell the community.
i dont watch that nonsense
Really another maintenance right after you just done one for the tc? You should do all the maintenance at once instead of doing back to back without warning.
They warned about this a couple of days ago
As a (non-Scopely) developer, I can say that fixing the lag and a lot of the bugs is probably a MUCH bigger and more expensive project than it sounds. The game is almost 6 years old and seems to be built on the foundation of a Base Builder game, that expanded in ways that the engine likely wasn’t designed for. To get the game running “good”, they probably have to rewrite a lot of the code from scratch in a more optimized, better suited for their future plans, manner. If they plan on running the game for more than a couple more years, they are hopefully already working on this project behind the scenes.
you were warned guys.... come on man.. this is quality... I could swear 2x maintances in 1 week is more quantity but what do I know
Where are the pitchforks?!
Yes it is much more expensive and now is bigger project and you highlight the exact reason the game was designed as base builder for a phone but has evolved into much more but through those years of neglect whilst the revenue has exceed billions they've had options to grow and expand their resources whilst this would have been a per annum cost now the cost is going to be higher and more likely in one hit which is why it's extremely unlike they will ever fix lag but it's not just lag it's all the bugs/glitches that we are left with Voyager nodes for instance or the Kir'Shara that hasn't worked from the start they've released a couple patches for it but it still doesn't work lets not forget that was £99.99. It's poor management to exceed it's capabilities and keep expanding the content as they have done adding to the existing problem without a care in the world. Quality over Quantity......................
We have patch notes? 3 hours maintenace is long without any news....
its not an arcfall, it was some kind of secret sauce shop pack update or similar, and a surprise kids summer holiday event (for no reason as noone under 20 plays this game)
No player-facing changes today.
So no bug fixes then
Is there ever bug fixes 🤣
The ‘bugs’ scopely tends to fix are mostly textual and editorial. With every update, hardly any real bugs are fixed. ‘The Team’ apparently is non existent, or grossly understaffed, as they have at least 25 tickets from me alone the past years whch issue was send to ‘the team’ which weren’t resolved in any way. ‘The team’ has the same function as a garbage bin.
They-just—dont-care
They do care. It's the players who don't care. Is STFC still making vast profit with very few fixes - Yes. Do players still spend money as if it was free margarita night at the casino - Yes. So there isn't a problem then? If there's any problem, seems like it's a player issue, as a quality product is not what the players care about.🤑
Didn’t we just do maintenance yesterday?
The big announcement is.......
A week long maintenance, as all Scopely staff are on works team bonding exercise on how to scam more money from us. Which coincidentally, we originally paid for. 😕
That's exactly it. Keep spending keep seeing the same mess
I suggest weekly compensation chests for those who bought the Kir’Shara artifact — basically Prime Bugged Targeting…
Maybe that will provide some incentive to fix it…
Completely no idea why Scopely felt the need to open 405 1 month after 404, the saturation cannot of been full already, 404 has 2 alliances that’re actually competitive and the rest of the alliances are dead, utterly no sense
merge into 401
due maintenance the 4 hour chest is getting to be an 8 hour chest this way.... still maintenance during break time is not handy
Is there an update today?
I don't think they care enough I am afraid to say, they already have your money
Unplayable again, although somewhat par for course on patch day
When are you going to fix the notification pips from CONSTANTLY re-appearing after you've collected what you want. These should ONLY show when there's something new to collect. 💩💩💩
I don't see any 'update' in the play store....is it even finished yet? Tell a lie....there is one now....🙄
Appeared after the game came back online. 🤣
I paid for the Battle Points Elite and then you ended the overflow 3 days early, thereby ripping me off for those 3 days loot. I had completed the daily battles and would have collected all if you had continued the overflow. You owe me 16.5K of uncommon 4* ore as well as the other items that were listed. What are you doing about this mistake?????
overflow hasn't ended
if you have collected 217.5k Battlepass points you are still in plan. Pass including Elite is not finshed until next week.
well, I believe you. But my overflow is gone [ in game ]
Looks like the new ios update deletes your game progress and starts you with a new acct. oh joy
just relog back in, the authentication token expired
You spelt “400” wrong.
I tried and it still starts up with a new acct. This isn’t the first time this has happened, I just need to do the tutorial and then log in via scopely creds, but its annoying to have to do the tutorial.
Even a maintenance couldn't fix a button 
same day ... yesterdays mainenance was announced only when it already started
Who can spot whats missing? Explorer, Intercepters, Battleships and Survery ship parts all present. Parasteel, Tritanium, Dilithium, Ore and Crystal so whats missing?
<@&509690795536941056> Could you guys reiterate why on ops lvl 43 the treasury gives 2* and not a single 4* item?
Looks like a F2P treasury
Nobody wants to watch your stupid youtube just to know what the next nonsense you're adding is. If the announcement isn't "we're actually fixing the game this time", save your breath.
That or making the PvP brackets much more reasonable
You can check our stream later or prioritize other stuff
I'm sure you'll pop the video icon in place of the alliance help button a few dozen times even after I've already clicked it. 🙃
I know what’s coming in the announcement! More BUGS!
game is running really badly keep getting disconnected and really low when i can get on
Waves are pretty awful today after maintenance. Multiple crashes, ghost ships, lag like crazy
Already happening
Same
Seriously the lag..
They broke it yesterday, and today they just 💩 on it….
It's a great way to use up your mirror vouchers
@tidal notch LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGG. The game is unplayable, not sure what the maintenance was for!
Theres apparently another update for ios fixed scanning issue. I dont understand why they didn’t version lock, so people would have to update
Don’t waste time going to the live stream all their talking about it eating wings!
They're using all their bandwidth for this stream where they tell us more lies
S95 nothing works cant even move ships
@bek no one cares about eating wings and your adding galaxy quest? It might just be time to quit this game.
Unless they are talking about how they are fixing old bugs and doing more QA work to prevent new bugs, they should be fired!
<@&509690795536941056> @royal solar You are bringing in Galaxy Quest stuff! OMG very funny film I loved it but its not Star Trek. Scopely you really don't have clue do you? So whats the new Name of the game? Star Trek Fleed Command + any other space game
<@&509690795536941056> @royal solar Here's some general feedback for you. This idea STINKS and if you actually go through with it and not listen to your player base, you're going to get people quitting like crazy, starting with me.
Less lag for everyone else!
Lag does seem to be improving now. Fingers crossed.
@royal solar well thats one idea to fix lag, have the people that downloaded a startrek game leave after ending up with a generic game that has multi asset.
#⭐-official-announcements message Some hours later.... PC Client says Update.....
Why you don't ask your 🐳 if they pay without new content, I bet there are some who would 🤣
Praise be!!! The pips are gone!!!
I just checked twice to see if it was an older message, because we've been in this state for days.
I meant worse than the usual 🤣
Sorry for the writers doing their best but at the end of the day (as Tiger has pointed out) STFC is a business. The idea to bring a completely different IP into our Trek game was a bad one.
Virtual hug for @civic slate @royal solar and the rest. You were so happy when you started the stream, then it went downwards soon after. I didn't even know Galaxy Quest until today, and I can give it a chance if it's just a limited-time crossover. But Trek is what brought me here and makes me stay.
I think the galaxy quest addition is amazing - maybe you can charge 1,000USD per ship and make it so it completely unbalances the game... that would be amazing for this game
Honestly I have no words for how bad this is and. You could tell by @royal solar face that she could see the backlash in livestream comments and continued about “some positive some negative”. Gaslighting and failing to read the room at its finest
Players: can we please have more detailed / informative patch notes rather than having to watch videos by content creators?
STFC: here’s some vague videos from us instead.
The livestream was terrible, spent the entire time talking about galaxy quest and not one mention of all the various issues surrounding the game, no word on bugfixes or the issues with waves or anything else. Also spent far too much time telling everyone to go to ops 40+
I still say we all should just uninstall now, it's a very bad idea to add other ips. It was a homage film sure but it has no place here....like this comment if u agree
what is the point of a live-stream if there is zero interaction with the audience?
If they people getting to 40+ sooner, they need to increase G3 mats from the refinery and event rewards
i read a ton of comments. made it a point to after the feedback from the last show
How do these people get these jobs? Was it a job advertisement for the least competent yes people ever?
They read comments. It was great. It was glorious. It was probably the lamest argument to try and convince people not to camp at 39 because your gonna miss out! Baloney, if you move up too fast, you will not have ships, research done, and crews ready to take on 40+ content.
You could tell by their faces that they were getting slaughtered in comments and didn’t know what to do….. Let’s talk about ops 40 instead 😂😂😂😂😂😂
All of the Star Trek content left to milk, and they go off the 90s genre spoof. Next month Starship Troopers or Andromeda? Wait don’t wanna give more bad ideas
I'm way more positive on the game than a lot of people who frequent this discord. Having said that, I'm pretty negative on this Galaxy Quest announcement. Never seen it, don't care about it. Really really really not thrilled about non-Trek IP being added to this game.
They aren’t going to get people to ops faster, without removing bottlenecks. The game has a lot throttled progression to incentive spending, as that becomes dated content, they needs ways to push it faster.
Galaxy Quest? I'm not interested in that at all. This is gonna lose them a ton of players.
and they'll deserve it.
Why fix the game or introduce content players have been asking for?
If I wanted to play a galaxy quest game I would download one. I play star trek because I like star trek. This is worse then all the other terrible decisions yall have made. @tidal notch
Scopely, if your writers aren’t crossing these two characters over I’ll be very disappointed….
Honestly hope this is a Joke.
What the actual ****! Galaxy quest. Is it April fools somewhere in the world 🤣
Lag related date problem
Scopely, this is embarrassing. All of the Trek content you have available to explore and you choose to do this. Galaxy Quest? Seriously? How could you possibly think this is a good idea? Whoever approved this should be fired.
Why should they be shocked? Did they actually think this was a good idea?
NExt year in STFC: babylon 5, battlestar, orville, andromeda, stargate and planet of the apes......
<@&509690795536941056> @royal solar Is there a reason why content like this can't be used? Mirror TNG is straight from the IDW comics. There is so much to pull from instead of doodoo Galaxy Quest. Do you need me to make a call to Heather Antos over at IDW??????
I don't think this is all on Scopely. They made the comment that STFC is Paramont's biggest $$$ from a game using their IP. With this year being Galaxy Quests 25th anniversary, I'm sure Paramont threw money at them or made this a condition of STFC's continued use of the IP.
@tidal notch what happened to the Multi server pvp nebulas and Alliance Quests that were previewed late last year? That actually generated excitement and we've heard nothing since
They're starting to run out of ideas and not willing to pay for star trek content the star trek creators are finding out and scopely don't want to pay so they're buying cheap game IPs
"Sharknado: the Assimilation of Baby Shark", Arc 1-5
Boycott galaxy quest related spending. Only thing that will get their attention. Wonder if this has to do with the new ownership of the Star Trek IP
Do not release this content, stop it at once, we do not want this stuff released at us, this is the very very very wrong community for it. Go make a new Galaxy Quest game or something, none of us want this. If you release this, guaranteed mass exodus from your game. If you ignore your community say goodbye to a lot of your whales as well, we won't be buying this ship or throwing any money into its crew or anything. Stay with Star Trek or change the name of the game and know with that, you will lose a LOT of your community. I stand with the others, BIG MISTAKE COMING. @royal solar
Lookout for the next server merger in the near future
They could easily retread older content that has classic status (forgive me if already covered), stuff like the Dominion War, the Star Trek movies, then stuff like Discovery S5 just happened to pass without a mention in the game. Heck, I'd take Star Trek Prodigy in this game (that is not a knock on Prodigy btw, but it's Trek!). Scopely bound to put a few noses out of joint with this.
So true. I'm currently on my alliance discord tryign to talk 10 players off the ledge of quitting the game, 6 are G6 players. All good folks that have been considering dropping th egame, but are saying this is th elast straw. I'm trygin to convince them to stay, but not spend for the arc instead of droppign shields and letting themselves get drained. I really dont 'have tiem for this, I shoudl be getting conpensated, lol
Galaxy quest, that's it , I'm out , I want to play Star Trek ,not a bastardised generic space game
Can we have game announcements on discord as text and not on some time waster on YouTube? <@&509690795536941056>
<@&509690795536941056> While I am not thrilled with Galaxy Quest being added to STFC, I do think it can add value if done right. However, you can not lock whatever content behind tokens. If you want the players to enjoy playing the game then you have to let us play the game and not lock it behind a limited drip of Tokens ala Silent, Probes, Xindi Aquatics, Actian, etc. Just let us play the game and interact with the content.
Not trek, so inherently can't be done right
Time to stop playing for a while till they bring back Star Trek , might even leave the game .. bin playing from day one
G6 player here. Time to walk away. Bad move scopely. Bad move.
You guys have the Romulans that you have done NOTHING with, you have the Klingons which you have done NOTHING with, there is the Dominion faction you could expand and let us play with, you haven't done anything with that other than make us kill them, there is the Borg, there are the so so many things in the Star Trek Galaxy you could be going for and your idea that you think of and say "Hey they'll like this base off of dumb youtube videos by people who think Galaxy Quest belongs in star trek" is the solution to your problem. You need a new team of idea makers.
I stopped watching, did they get the idea was terrible?
I have a feeling every <@&509690795536941056> is avoiding this whole 💩 storm. You could see it in DJz and @royal solar 's faces when they'd glance at their screens and saw how massively hated and rejected this already is...
this approach still lets the content get into the game. They should just abandon the entire idea now and never let it into the game at all. It doesn't belong. Crossover cash-grabs are misguided at best. In this case it is probably going to lose them a significant amount of money when their hardcore trek nerd whales abandon the game.
What is Galaxy Quest?
Rev's server is alive like mad with people not liking this. I REALLY hope they get the point before they launch this that we absolutely do not want this at all in our game, and honest to god they need to fix the bugs, they need to squash the ever living daylights out of the bugs. GIVE US AN EMPTY MONTH FULL OF BUG SQUASHING. We will happily take one month off from Arcs and anything related to them if you focus on fixing the bugs in the game. WE DO NOT WANT THIS.
The discord servers are only about 10% or so of the general playerbase... So who know how the larger players will take it
No disagreement but if they announced it, the content likely already exists and it’s unlikely they will hold it back. It’s total disrespect to the Star Trek universe and the fan base that demonstrates their appreciation of it by playing STFC.
Conspiracy theory: the most effective way to reduce lag is to have less players. Galaxy Quest addition is designed to make that happen!
(Posted in jest, but it's not wrong, lol)
They also tend to have all the spenders who actually buy things in this game on them, and the ones who don't usually don't get involved in discord because to them its just a past time. Spenders are what pay money to Scopely....whales are what make scopely thrive, thus very very very good idea to listen to people in discord because they are dropping 1000's when the others really aren't, sorry to make this what it is, but games aren't supported by good will.
There is quite a few players who just buy the BP and aren't on discord, that is a good chunck of money too. We'll see how well GQ does for sales soon enough
Would rather it not actually be launched, thats what we are trying to prevent. We don't want this in our game yo.
tbh, I would recommend anyone to plow ahead as fast as you can.
But yeah, lets not argue about that. Its unbelievable that they found this angle to milk out and churn out more garbage content.
What has drawn me to this game is the Star Trek galaxy/theme that has, for the most part, been a good travel.
To bring in Galaxy Quest, which is a movie about washed up actors that find out that their ship was built by aliens due to the TV show being broadcast to their world is about as far away as you can get from our game.
Up topic, players have mentioned to start a new game. Sure, I would support that. But to bring the characters, the ship, the villains into this realm is tantamount to bringing Monopoly game pieces into an D&D board game.
Guys, bad idea. I won’t support it with my dollars. I am sure many out there feel as I do and share my feelings on the subject.
You need to think of something else.
I like Galaxy Quest. I don’t want it in a Star Trek game, especially when there’s a huge amount of actual content left to implement.
I hope we can finally get a coin boycot, and everyone giving bad reviews and sending complaints.
Yeah. I liked GQ and the fact that the movie pays tribute to the fans and just how dedicated they are is great. But this just seems like the worst kind of pandering/money grab
What’s next Stargate, firefly…. Maybe a few cylon base stars…. Better call it sci fi command 🤣🤣🤣
So we never got a Ricardo Montalban Khan but we're getting freaking Galaxy Quest? Really?
At least these are from the same IP.
This has to be a war crime or something.
I heard a rumour it’s was going to be Blake’s 7
If we are doing cross overs, I want The Orville
Done playing if Scopley is gonna start to introduce non Star Trek content and not even try to fix some of the existing problems. Simply just cash grab now
Blakes 7 blakes 7 make it make it blakes 7
make it dr who
Statistically 10% of the player base would be representative of the population. The better question would be whether the ones voicing their opinion would be representative of the population as the ones speaking up are not a random sample. Regardless, I think it’s reasonable to assume that the people who play this game do so specifically bc it’s Star Trek, they won’t like the addition of non Star Trek content into a Star Trek game.
Only if that 10% were representative of the population. Therein lies the dilemma.
I didn’t say it would be. The sample size would be large enough to be representative but the sample wouldn’t be random.
Once again....
To collect the dailies you need 30min+ and haven't done anything for events. That is driving ppl out. New stuff noone needs and is pure ignorance and will just make more ppl leave.
Calm down, guys, FGS. It's not like they suggested anything as stupid as crossing STFC with Game of Thrones.
(Pause).
Oh, that's NEXT year. My apologies.
They could do space balls! New station attacking ship
People would pay a lot for an autoraiding vacuum.
if you ask me, mixing IPs like this is basically saying “we’re out of ideas” and without saying it, a first step to the point of turning the servers off. it’s saying “we’re desperate”. so… effect, no spending money because it’s now got a timer.
Yeah...I for one would...lol
Found on Google from youtube.com
Galaxy Quest is crap. It's too early for April Fools.
Ah. The way you worded it gave that impression. Glad you clarified. 👍🖖
Adding Galaxy Quest is a HORRIBLE idea. Please reconsider. Do not go through with this. <@&509690795536941056> @royal solar @tacit obsidian
Galaxy’ Quest is not a good idea.
Change your name so they know how you really feel.
I watched the live announcement for adding Galaxy Quest. All I can say scopely should and better reevaluate @bek position as manager. I have see lots of players quit over the months and years since she started working there because of these bad arcs. Discussion on my server more are now planning on leaving.
they are gonna lose more people over this one Art
what was different before? (i've only been playing for 4 months)
Nothing. Bek is not the one making these decisions she just gets the fun job of making videos to explain the dumb stuff to the community. Then she gets the community backlash for the bad ideas that her bosses came up with.
We had less communication. Bek is great. That guy’s just bitter. Bek’s not the problem
Not being bitter. This game has been declining. If she not responsible why is her title Content Manager?
okay sounds pretty standard for a video game reddit/discord -- blame the messenger 🙄
@dusky onyx content manager probably means responsible for marketing content, not the content of the game.
you might be thinking of game director or product lead.
well someone mentionned it earlier that if this is what they are coming out with, then it means they have run out of ideas (which is impossible if they watched star trek), and if they have run out of ideas it means the game is probably not going to be around much longer
ah well they stand behind the product and the company. else they would find another thing to work on right. not feeling any sympathy for all the backlash they are getting. its their choice to present us with trainwreck of a product
Really? After 10 Picards, you really felt the best idea would be to do Galaxy Quest <@&509690795536941056> ?
(Not blaming you, just asking you to relay this to the ones that had the genius idea)
OR they just decided to try something different and the 25th anniversary of Paramount-owned, Star Trek-parody Galaxy Quest seemed like an obvious choice
They could have done an arc where Kahn from the wrath of can also was regenerated like Spock from the genesis device.
hey i don't have an opinion on the theme of the arc (i like the trek universe and don't know anything about galaxy quest). in general i care more about gameplay and incentives than i do what the theme of a particular arc is going to be, but i totally get that others may feel differently.
my point, to the extent that i have one, is that calling for the marketing person to be fired because you don't like the revealed theme of an arc that hasn't been released yet is a little silly.
they can do something different .... but they can also watch the community respond negatively. I am a moderate spender, but I can tell you this month I will spend nothing. In fact, today I chose not to spend anything when I saw this news. I realize I am only one person, however, there are others who feel the same.
Well sure. I’m just pointing out that this doesn’t have to be a sign of not having any ideas or the game dying. Didn’t say it would be a successful attempt to do something different 😄
When from 10 Picards you go to a parody of your own franchise, yes, it does feel that way. Its the way the content is structured so far.
We talking about Scopely or ubi here😅
I see the <@&509690795536941056> are still avoiding what an incredible 💩 show this announcement ended up being. I really feel bad for them. They're just the messenger catching grief from us and when they tell Scopely what a massive mistake this is they'll get more from them...
There is no way that GalaxyQuest is going to attract paying customers to this game. You see that in the Play store and laugh and move on.
Thank you for fixing the claims chest. @tidal notch
honestly, they should put up a poll. ask the community to weigh in on what effect this will have on their gameplay and more importantly spending. There have been some bad arcs before but nothing like this. Maybe we are all in the minority and this is the expansion everyone has been asking for? Maybe not. But they shouldn't shy away from the opportunity to take the pulse of the community.
Personally , I really do think the idea of "feedback" is better done before changes are passed. It is difficult to roll back an arc. But for such big changes like introducing collaborations you might as well see if your community will handle it well and what kind of collab they will like more.
More likely there was already a genericy startrek themed arc made, then someone said lets add galaxyquest names and art to this.
The thing about collaborations is though that they work especially well when you dont have a franchise yourself. For example, WOT collaborating with random franchises. But when you already have a franchise of your own, things get tricky. I would have preferred TOS Khan or second Archer thats more useful to balance out the hundreds of TNG ones instead, if they really had to publish more content.
I was hoping for a TOS khan when the TOS arc happened. Instead they went with worms.
In my humble opinion, Galaxy Quest does Not fit in with a game that is supposed to be Star Trek content. I will wait and see. At this moment I feel betrayed. I play this game because I'm a fan of Trek. This addition will make me consider whether I should continue to play or quit. 🖖
The brand Fleet Command I'm sure is big enough now to go solo without attaching anything to it? Create your own content, must save alot of money in the long run?
Maybe they think Galaxy Quest is Star Trek.... Hey <@&509690795536941056> The Orville is Star Trek as well... let's get that the following arc. Then FUTURAMA after...lol.
Well, it’s a clear parody of ST that has the blessing of ST actors, so it fits in that way, but it will be interesting to see how they loop it in. I’m guessing MU time travel a la TOS, since there’s no reason they can’t be in the same universe
30 year anniversary this year and not Trek, so new officer, right?
https://tenor.com/view/blank-man-smile-glitters-here-i-am-gif-16817391
@tidal notch can yall please stop covering up stuff with the video/news button, there is a holoscreen in my base, if i wanted to check out the news or videos, id go there.
Shakespeare has the blessing of Star Trek actors too. So what? Doesn't mean we need Julius Ceasar in STFC. Star Wreck The Perkening is a ST parody too. So I guess we can have Babylon 5 too.
I vote for Moriarty as a character next! At least he was in TNG!
Surely this has got to be a joke and not real.
to quote some guy from some blizzcon, "is this some kind of out of season April fool's joke?" 😛
that being said, they will probably make the ship necessary for some awesome loop so I will end up buying it.....
I mean if they are so inept that they can’t come up with ideas they could literally do hundreds of arcs based on the novels. New frontiers, titan, stargazer captains table and many more
Anyone remember a bigger pre-release 💩 storm?
Lovely. Just updated the app and was greeted with this
Not to mention, the UI keeps freezing and buttons aren’t tappable. I’ve had to restart the game three times in five minutes.
This has been going on since before the update.
Upside down xindi cards since they were added, but not on top of the officer list, lol
To be fair, they were watching Galaxy Quest at the time
Your maintenance sucks ain’t nothing was fixed in fact there is more issues now then there was before the stupid maintenances
Remember when scopely said quality over quantity. Well what they really meant was that they were going to put better food choices in the vending machines so that the developers would pass smaller but higher quality stools.
Mega maid skin for the amalgam, boosts your cargo capacity by a lot... just saying
So scopelys new hail Mary is adding galaxy quest? So it can ruin more of the culture? And people still give them money?
People are addicted and they know it, scopely has no shame in profiting off of it.
Making money is good but unethical like this
SCOPLEY Galaxy quest IS NOT STAR TREK. You have hundreds of Star Trek novels to take content from such as stargazer, new frontier and Titan, the captains table etc STICK WITN STAR TREK or sell the game to a good developer company
@tidal notch Please add back the Rare Xindi Armadas directives to the TC battle pass....
Scopely saw how much money RAID was making by putting in celebrity champions and thought...theres money in other galaxies
Just go the whole hog and have this instead
Don’t give them ideas, we will have to catch them all.
If you make galaxy quest the next arc I will hate you even more than I do now scopely!
When is the quality over quantity push going to start? So much has been added that this “game” is almost a full time job and the quality hasn’t improved. If anything, it’s gotten worse.
Are you not impressed by the quality of the major bugs making this game worse than ever?
I’m impressed that they can always seem to make new ones.
wtf are you thinking scopely this is Star Trek not galaxy quest fleet command. I’m am so confused and disappointed 😑
One of our guys said he’s looking forward to the Spaceballs crossover. And, no it wasn’t me. I just agreed. 😂
What do we get next month, Andromeda ascendant as the next ship for whales to buy, at least that was a Roddenberry idea
Scopely has lost their minds. Nobody wants this garbage crossover arc. This is a masterclass in how to kill a game without unplugging the servers. Thank you for finally giving me the motivation to stop spending cash on this trainwreck of a game.
68 % on you poll don’t like the Galaxy Quest stuff.
And who knows how many scopely employees have been asked to vote yea... I'm very surprised only 68% don't like, thought it would be higher.
When do we get the Transformers crossover? (Another Paramount property) Or Paw Patrol? Or SpongeBob?
After the Friday the 13th crossover
They can't even put the right events up.
You've got 13 ST movies to draw from without even including TV shows...where's OG Khan? The reliant? Enterprise 1701-A?, Excelsior? Vengeance? Narada?
If you've run out of content, circle back to code fixes or quality of life enhancements. Maybe allow players to trade out obsolete blueprints for useful ones...(ie-kumari), allow players to donate unused BPs to alliance members, maybe add a function for miners to eject themselves off nodes automatically when the node zeros, maybe a capture the flag mode or a timed Genesis device event that you have to complete tasks with your alliance or go "boom" and wipes players in system and/or drops base shields for all in system, have V'ger randomly show up in a system weekly and the person or alliance that finds it gets a research or build boost for a few days to push community engagement, maybe sunset old content that doesn't draw players (mega cube, unused currencies, etc...)...there's so much more than mixing IPs....I'd take an in game Dr.McCoy version of "operation" before mixing IPs like that...do better.
@tidal notch hey if we are going to let in any old show now can I have the following crew. Baby Yoda, Commander Adama and Commander Shepard? Oh and a Battlestar would be sweet!
@uncut spear why have you lied to the stfc community? I quote "no player facing changes" yet it has. Auto grinding does not count towards dailies or events like treasury since event reset.
Reading around everywhere..... scopely has made a major mistake introducing this x over... I hope it costs them a lot of money....it's the only thing they'll listen too....
I can see a mass exodus of Star Trek players on the horizon. We play this game for the love of the franchise. Say good bye to your cash cow scopley
Why does a Star Trek themed game even need feedback that it’s a bad idea to go with a non Star Trek arc?
Scopely, if you ran out of ideas for new arcs, use this:
• TOS Movies: new ship: Excelsior, new officers (TOS Movie Crew, Khan & Crew) … expand Augment Faction
• Voyager Arc 2: Equinox (new ship & officers)
• DS9 Arc 2: Expand Cardassian space up to level 70 including Breen space: new officers: Ezri, Nog, Jake Sisco, Cassidy, Vic Fontaine, Leeta …), new ship: USS Defiant A
• Prodigy Arc: new ship & officers
• Novel Arc: USS Destiny (new ship & officers)
• Mirror Universe Arc 2: you can use every officer's mirror counterpart, ISS Enterprise, ISS Defiant, whatever ...
I doubt they ran out of ideas. They are probably getting paid by Paramount to add GQ content to stfc to create buzz about about the new GQ series at Paramount+ and scopley doesn't care if they jump the shark
Hey, spocley, can you bring red dwarf (mining ship) and starbug along with it crew on next arc !!!
What ever they do just give a good ship better than any ship till now free to every one, least they can do that
Instead of something really stupid like galaxy quest how about you actually fix the constant crashing of game @tidal notch
Cant wait for the Riddick and John Wick Crossovers... maybe Rambo after?
So this is what desperation looks and smells like........ makes mental note.
July 2024, when Star Trek Fleet Command finally jumped the Shark
Game is a mess, wtf is going on?
Ace Rimmer....What a guy!
Betreff: Beschwerde über inkonsistente Paketinhalte
Sehr geehrtes Scopely-Team,
ich möchte meiner Unzufriedenheit über ein jüngstes Erlebnis in Ihrem Spiel Ausdruck verleihen. Ich fühle mich betrogen. Am 21. 7. habe ich ein Paket im Spiel gesehen, das ich kaufen wollte. Daraufhin bin ich auf die Webseite gegangen, um den Kauf abzuschließen.
Leider stellte ich fest, dass unter dem gleichen Namen nicht das angeboten wurde, was im Spiel gezeigt wurde. In meinen Augen ist das ein Missbrauch von Kundenerwartungen und führt zu großem Frust.
Ich bitte Sie, dieses Problem umgehend zu klären und sicherzustellen, dass die angezeigten Paketinhalte konsistent sind, egal ob im Spiel oder auf der Webseite. Bis dahin werde ich keine weiteren Pakete kaufen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Hein Ennak
👆🏻 I don't know what this says, but Paris, watch your back 🤔
Wenden Sie sich bitte an den Kundendienst. Sie können Ihnen helfen, den richtigen Inhalt des von Ihnen gekauften Pakets zu erhalten.
Ich würde die E-Mail-Option verwenden in: #👽-how-to-contact-support
Whatever they've invested into this can't be worth the losses it's already caused. Even if they give the ship and officers away for free, it would be them not listening to the massive backlash that it's not wanted in the game at all. It needs to be scrapped entirely.
So this is on team weak status w/ the no reply on why they took autogronding out of the equation for scoring in certain events
Star Trek new frontier novels new ships and officers including a federation Horta on a ship.
Star Trek stargazer new ships and a young Picard.
Star Trek Titan. New ship new officers based on riker as captain on Titan.
So many opportunities why absolutely KILL the game on this junk
I’m not sure why people feel like this is killing the game. Seems everyone is so frustrated with the lag, bugs, crashing, etc. that this is just the excuse to finally quit this game we are all addicted to. Honestly, if you don’t like Galaxy Quest, just don’t use the ship and officers. Your game won’t change. It won’t be the first ship and officers that I don’t have.
Q. Have you lost the rights to use new IP in STFC?
(I'm assuming that all existing IP including the game name, is allowed to be kept).
(Or, is it cheaper for Scopely to use non-trek content in a trek game).
Is that why you are considering for new content, non-trek spins?
I'm trying to fathom the direction you are suggesting from the recent live feed, and the overall feedback of this community, to continue to use trek only arcs, as there's still a lot to explore.
Don't get me wrong, I love Galaxy Quest, etc alike, like others do, but what are you thinking 🧐😂🤔
Because we're here for Trek and the community. All those frustrations you listed are the big reason people are losing interest. Galaxy Quest isn't just an excuse to quit, it's the step away from Trek that is the last straw.
NCIA-93. USS Pasteur. USS Vengeance. why not the ships ?
They had the make shift wheel of fortune board game out. Arc suggestions were covered in cocaine and they all had to sniff the cocaine off to reveal what arc was coming? 😂😂😂
We can reject the idea without being personally offensive to the staff, I think.
If you add content from other series, you're digging your own grave.
It the fact they are wasting time on a non Star Trek IP instead of doing other Star Trek things or actual fixing the game.
Certain? Seems like all to me.
If the galaxy quest arc would be same boring contents like many previous arc, then it's a total flop, no second guess, only if something newer content which would make most player happy to play then only it would be successful, considering how they have done before, there is not much expectations among players and it's already seems to be a flop
If they want to dial this back but not waste the content, they should make it where GQ is a holonovel. That way you can play it, or not. If the ship was going to be in the game just re-skin it to be something else. Make it a Defiant-A.
Or release GQ ship skins since they anounced it and cant roll back for existing ships. Not adding bad grind/ships/officers, not confusing the Franchise too much
Oh look another update, how much more lag are you going to force us to suffer through…
And it's not just a 'Dont play the content if u don't like it' type thing..... all they need to do is make it must have/put people at a real disadvantage without it and you'll be forced to get. And knowing scopely, that's exactly what they'll do.
Is it April fools again?
<@&509690795536941056> What sucks even more is even if they release it and you choose not to buy it, spend mats for the officers, or use the officers or ship ever, others will. You'll still see non-Trek all over the place and the damage will still exist, not to mention what mpjb said about almost being forced to have it to keep pace. It's just all around bad.
The good thing though is that in 2 months they will release something else that will make it obsolete and then you won’t see it anymore. 😂
If everyone wont buy it they might not do it again with another IP.
On the live stream the guy hinted that the officers might not be the actual tv show officers, but rather the actors playing them. Meaning the abilities might be horrible, and no one would ever use them. Who knows. 🤷♂️
Don't let FoMo make you feel like you have to buy anything. It's the key factor in Scoeply's decisions and sales.
At the start of this year, scopely announced there would be less new content this year to allow them to fix things. Quality over quantity. What happened to thus logic as all we have had is more new content!
Has there been any comment from the community managers regarding the backlash from yesterday yet? Or are they all just pretending that everything’s fine?
They also put that in their end year announcements from 2022. Making this at least, 19 months of continuous lies about quality over quantity.
there has been youtube videos from dj and rev but pretty much silence from anyone thats higher than them and i dont blame them for silence. They can see by the good and bad comments that they gone stepped on a landmine
honestly if they put a non trek ip in the game, im gone. i was not happy when they put below decks in as its a cartoon, but at least it was trek. throwing a non trek Ip in just opens the floodgates for more rubish cashcow making. and this would be i think the final straw for a lot of players.
I've just been in a territory battle, with about 4-5 alliances all fighting over it. It was CHAOS. That's fine, however what really wasn't, was ships getting lost in space many many times, causing me to have to restart my game. Six times in all, within a 30 minute period. Of course, in the time I couldn't play, my ships got killed multiple times. PLEASE FIX THIS asap.
They don't fix things. They just add more content to be broken.
Hey guys how about fixing armada speed ups? I have to hit armada speed up and log out and back in for it to work .
Don't let the door hit you on your way out
awwww so cute:)
There are so many items that still need to be addressed and fixed that have been mentioned by the community over and over, like trading in useless blueprints for something useful, lag, more stable servers, consolidating currencies, eliminating or revamping old loops, making most forbidden techs accessible to non spenders, and so on, and yet you choose to go with an IP that isn’t Star Trek? I get the need to make money, and you can do anthology months while you work on the plethora of issues your game already has and still make money, especially since the newer servers haven’t didn’t exist for a lot of the old arcs. The “quality over quantity” statement is a bold faced lie at this point <@&509690795536941056> and it’s time the game addresses real issues the game has, rather than slapping more into a game that’s already broken. I know it’s not the community manager’s fault management refuses to address the issues, but it is on yall to make the players’ voices heard loud and proud.
I understand your concern regarding several ongoing issues. We'll(me n hammy)make sure to push your feedback internally.
Announcement of Galaxy quest is a massive disappointment. I play this game as it is star trek IP.... I will seriously be considering my continued participation with it's content. There are many other avenues for content that could have been used, wrath of khan being very high on that list. Let's hope the content is very forgettable and has very little residual effect on the game... and most of all is less than 1 month long arc....
The game will freeze/crash during waves and by the time you can restart the wave is over. This has happened multiple times and I have never received the rewards for those waves.
It’s annoying
Trying to get an announcement about incursions.
Today my away team discovered a planet in the MU that holds a special artifact… it has symbols on it and a red dot in the middle, not far from that artifact they found a big circle buried half in the sands , the circle has the same symbols on it as the artifact. There not sure what’s it for but I think in an arc or two we might …😂 hint to scopely ….
🤣
And I'm sure they'll listen. It's only been years of them not listening.....
As an ops 44, I think the treasury should be giving more than a handful of g2 and 3 ship parts 😢
It doesn't even have any 4* mats... 
God I love watching scopely fail themselves. Best part of the game now. It's more reliable than their promises.
With all the whales paying Scopely and the software team, why can't we get these glitches fixed?????????????????? And not being able to select systems to send ships to? Is your bugs team on vacation? Do they even understand how to fix bugs? This game is a total mess!
Nothing will ever change, because people keep spending on subpar performance
Imagine working full time job, providing for your family and thinking maybe I'll spend some money on something fun. Only to be reminded you don't make enough money to have fun. That's the STFC experience
It does, but you have a paupers treasury, so it doesn’t for you.
how about an amalgam refinery and an away teams update
I think it would be great if alliance members could share different.
Items such as latinum, parsteel, tritanium, dilithium, crystal, gas, ore. Especially uncommon. It's really tough to get those. I'm struggling.
TC problem so a more powerful alliance can keep a lower alliance from obtaining a TC without dropping a pin. This is wrong they cover the takeover nodes with their biggest ships so the lower alliance they don’t like cannot obtain or attempt to obtain a TC . It is felt if you don’t drop a pin that you should have no access to that TC . Growing tired of the money spending bullies on this game and you “scopley” allow this to continue. War is war but even wars have restrictions
Can’t earn money from fixes
"Concern" is an interesting thing to call the 24 hour 💩 storm, lol
It's been constantly brought up. Scopely don't give a flying F
I get that feeling too
@raw fiber the hotfix was pointless for those at work will we be getting comp chests again
I'm not understanding this, you can definitely win a TC without having a single ship on a node
Understood Burton but when the bigger alliances come to help another alliance without dropping a pin for there alliance. And then keep ships on the nodes to prevent one of the alliances from getting onto them. It’s a bullying tactic and yes if you have enough participants you can still win the TC agreed but when the big boys from the alliance with no interest in taking that TC kill all ships that come into the TC the two alliances that have dropped a pin should fight it out
So instead of blaming the big alliances you should blame your diplo
Should there be a territory capture SMS for the new season instead of 2 for wave defense?
Agreed - TC would be a lot more fun and engaging content if the takeover only allowed alliances who had joined the takeover to send ships. As it is, large coalitions dominate the content and ruin it for the rest of the server.
Agreed Frank
This is one of TC problem since the first takeover in 2021. There is not a solution client-side because STFC community does not like PvP so it knows many actions to stop every attempt. The solution is server-side and I am waiting for it since 2021.
You can join in another alliance to solve this problem.
Scopley needs to know that the majority of the playerbase abides by some kind of ROE. They don't have to endorse it, but they need to know it exist and so not design events directly in counter to the method that the majority of the playerbase plays.
So autogrinding still doesnt count towards the treasury and neither does silents ??? @raw fiber
That one is falling on deaf ears... we been complaining about that issue since it became a thing and u see their reply to it.... MORE of the exact same EVENTS....... 😂😂😂😂......
I think the line is “player made agreements are player’s own and not part of the game”
That's weird, it should count now on the treasury 🤔
Galaxy quest as an arc? What a joke.... whats the arc after.... spaceballs?
Power Rangers
Diplomacy isn't always an option, when their demands are you quit the game disband your alliance and war any alliance that takes in refugees. Sometimes the majority are wrong
Well… there was a crossover novel with the TNG crew and the X Men…..it was called ‘Planet X’
So probably the X Men. Lol
Mars Attacks or Stargate
Its working now on 96 bro
Shame the chats broke now
Hi. Where is the promised Rare Lieutenant Picard? (as announced in the most recent arc notes)
Nothing will change in the game, as long as the cash flows, and that is a certainty! Mark my words!
As long as the vast majority is just complaining...
I have been talking to a CM, since April, trying to push changes on 1. PVP brackets; 2. Limits on event rewards; 3. Refinery chests costs; 4. Apex Exile Store bundles and after long wait days and requests for updates, I got:
"Handing me a list of changes you would like to see and then expecting me to get them done isn't really how it works. I can sometimes get changes to the game, but something on the scale of reorganizing PVP banding would be hard."
So, 3 months to be told that "it's not the way it works....." So I went and left a review on google playstore if DS is not the proper channel..
On this note, I cannot understand how Simpauly is saying that "he and Hammy will push internally player feedback"
Furthermore, since the Xindi Chaser Coins scam, I have not spent a dime in the game and that brought a nice peace of mind. Now I can truly say that Scopely owes me nothing (ty Zabatix!)
So, who can read and understand, good for you!! Who doesn't, keep complaining here, also good for you, it will surely get sorted!
I am done trying to change anything and, as I cannot explain why I am here, I will be leaving, but not without an old song, to match:
Especially, for Scopely:

@tidal notch @raw fiber any chance of getting some loot exocomps since incursions cancelled
Canceling incursions is absolute crap!!!! To investigate preformace issues. Sounds like yall are going to do a case study for ED. This sucks....I like incursions. Scopley cant get out of their own way. What really sucks is they will bring it back next month with ALL THE SAME ISSUES ANYWAYS....just run the damn thing.
been saying that for almost 18 months and scopley aint hearing it as far as I know. Not aure why it's so hard to have a tc zone during a defense only able to be entertained if you paid the cost to takeover or defend it
I bet the incursion cancelation is just to distract from galaxy quest
For the 10th time today…….
Scopely solution for problems:
If players complain a lot in discord, enable slow mode so they can't complain as much
No one cares about the stupid hamster update and the food he is eating. Fix this game and give myself and my alliance the trailblazer points we earnt yesterday. BTW, Yumi from support can't count 🤦
you'd swear he's doing it for free, not as a paid professional with the stupid jokey attitude he brings to the table. But that said, its a pretty good reflection of Scopleys attitude overall.
even better they just mute you for "spamming" when reminding them about their lagfest...
Some people care about my food eating.
No more humor on Discord!
case in point...
Exactly
I agree.
I get them trying to be lighthearted, but read the room. Players that don't normally get annoyed, are getting annoyed and that's not good for the game. But I'm not a VIP player, so no one is listening 🤷
Pinged you!
Wow, really? Are you five? Seriously, what's the point in trying to have an adult conversation to discuss real issues. Hope your next quesadilla is cheesy, considering that's all that matters.
Yikes. I pinged you in DM to ask about what was going on. Didn't mean to offend...
It's probably unpopular, but the anger and negativity is getting really bad, and some levity and jokes are a good way to alleviate that. I feel like the inclusion of GQ is along the same lines: some lighthearted content that will add fun to the game, rather than just more spreadsheets and aggressive play. But, hey, folks also got mad about Lower Decks unfairly, and it genuinely was one of the more fun arcs (twice), hands down. The writing was actually good, if you bother to read it. I know it's a "clicks" game that doesn't encourage slowing down for that, but maybe that virwpoint could shift.
Appreciate that point of view. I understand why some folks are riled up though. I think its kinda cool too.
Not unpopular, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But more and more people are complaining and there's a reason for that. GQ, is cool. New content, is great. I just want my trailblazer points, players are frustrated and should be able to vent in a constructive way. That's all I'm saying.
We are far past constructive. The only way to get Galaxy Quest removed is to complain, complain, complain.
I don't want it removed. I think it's fun, and a breath of fresh air.
can someone confirm microsoft software is being used on apple computers?
Can we stop with the personal attacks on the community managers? They are powerless to fix the company decisions, so they do the least they can do to bring a personal element in their communication. They try to talk to people like friends, not wallets, becuase after all they dont gain percentages, so they have no reason to see players as wallets. So no reason to attack them and make their life difficult, it must feel humbling already to be a powerless overglorified messenger everybody uses to vent!
the best answer is to get off discord
You had me at the start with "stop the personal attacks on the CMs" but you kinda lost me with "it must feel humbling already to be a powerless overglorified messenger"
We are way past constructive criticism.. and on to personal attacks. Galaxy quest is coming and no amount of complaining will change that… at this point we just need to hope the content is fun and engaging
How about "appropriately glorified"?
No no no. Let's pump the brakes the personal attacks.... But appreciate you waiting to see how the content is.
I meant - stop with the personal attacks…. If you can’t be civil then (redacted So as not to get muted)😜
Hey, didnt I successfully pacify both sides? They stopped personally attacking you after me personally attacking you and at the same time you didnt have to talk to them about being personally attacked! Id say I also make a good community manager!
Your job is to get the message to Scopely that we can't do a Galaxy Quest arc and it needs to be rethemed as star trek.
This is impossible, the design is definitely prepared, as well as the promised packs. Even a minor redesign at this stage will cost them more than what is worth, and it is statistically impossible none will buy packs for whatever they offer.
However @tidal notch _hamster , do you think they would consider passing the Galaxy Arc as skins and visual effects only, that would still sell packs and not mix two opposing franchises with officers/ships/grinds forever? Or maybe a limited time mission tree too?
P.S the second hamster is definitely not a subliminal message to imply what I will think of you if they do not even slightly change their minds after all the feedback you provide them.
It is far from impossible to to ditch galaxy quest art assets, especially when the damage it will do to the game is irreparable. There was a reason they leaked this new arc so early, i's because they could replace galaxy quest if the outrage was there.
It was not presented as a poll. Instead, as a ready project. They can change the content perhaps but not the theme, that would be more damaging than you think.
This is the Poll right here and right now, posting on discord. If you want STFC around in one or two years from now, you have to fight to reject galaxy quest.
I guess I'm guilty as charged for making a personal attack on @tidal notch . My humble apologies. I'll go back to lurking. Have a great day everyone.
@tidal notch <@&509690795536941056> considering how incredibly badly this is going over, can you at least confirm they are taking the massive backlash seriously? 69% negative response in Rev's poll of 1,600 people, plus all the storm here and every main CC's YouTube and Discord is no small thing... We went from the live stream saying we don't know when or how it will come in to DJz stream today referring to it as the next arc. Wtf?
I was so sure it was a prank because it was so utterly dumb, but I’ve getting worried it’s not.
It’s a fine movie, I just rewatched it, but it’s not Star Trek. Which means it just doesn’t belong here.
Lower Decks is actual, official Trek, regardless of gate keeping fan opinions. Galaxy Quest is a wholly separate IP. Further, DJz stream today mentioned how almost everywhere has cross-overs, which is true, but those cross-overs do not make permanent changes. The new ship and officers are permanent changes and an overstep. I'd have no issue with a weekend fan appreciation event that had the Protector and crew show up in missions and then go back through a rift when it's done like actual trek timelines have done in this game in the past. That could be fun! Permanent change, however, is a big no.
Understood. But I'm a big enough GQ fan that I don't care
I’m of two minds on GQ coming to the game. Part of me is with the WTH? side and the other is ‘this could be interesting’.
I consider GQ to be ST “adjacent” (a movie about a show that is an homage to ST w/ the same type of Rabid fans). So, I’m treating it like when Lower Decks introduced cartoon officers (flat cartoons, not 3D this is what they’d look like if any other STFC officer). I enjoyed the film but it’s been years since I’ve watched.
On the “this could be interesting” is that it might open the door to my favorite Star Trek crossover: Doctor Who! Not sure about ship or crew, but have ideas on artifacts (psychic paper or sonic screwdriver anyone).
The reality is this: unless @royal solar has pulled off a major mid-summer scam - it’s coming. It is too late to change anything, the ship has sailed, it docks in a couple weeks. While we are accustomed to everything being fixed at the speed of light … this is a big deal. Not only is there coding and storyline and graphics involved - there’s contracts that have been signed. Contracts that allow for IP usage and licensing fees. Players being unhappy doesn’t fall under force majeur.
We’ve already given up the Kelvin timeline focus this started with … and we’re fine. Fine and playing & paying.
While I wish Prodigy was first, we’re boldly going where this game hasn’t gone before.
This business of 'can't change now' is inaccurate. You want them change? if it costs them money, they will scrap this. Vote with wallets, and they will listen.
Boldly nothing. As you stated yourself, it's being forced into the game. The contracts were likely permission to use the IP and to share a percentage of profit. Gets hard to do when spenders spend less or quit. By making it an arc, they are giving us the finger because not getting the pass actually hurts our progress. Making it a temporary event could earn pack purchases without fundamentally changing the game.
I really need to figure out how to indicate sarcasm better (ie, last line except for wishing it was Prodigy - I do want Prodigy).
It was a resigned tongue in cheek more than an actual triumphant rallying call.
It also wasn’t intended to indicate I think it’s a completely good idea.
It’s more “like it or not - here we go”.
I caught it, sorry my ire came off toward you at all. It's entirely directed at Scopely for this asinine addition.
Don’t know how others feel about mu but me I find it sucks , worst idea . I like parts of it like new systems , officers and tech. Though I really hate how it was done for navigating through mu to even find the mines that and this rediculous time limit for systems that you have to pay stuff just to get into them and there is no easy way of just paying to get into the ones you actually want to do . Its bs having to pay to go through one rift to pay to go through another just to try to find the mines so you can mine them . No wonder a lot of those I’ve talked to hate mu
A very sad day. Gq is not star trek. I put money and time into stfc as it is trek. The name of the game should be changed as we now accept Tim Allen as an officer. “Star Trek and Galacy quest fleet commend”. Andromeda coming next? I am genuinely saddened by this gq bs. I can easily come up with 5 other real trek themes for arcs that could have made the company money and not resorted to non star trek content, very sad.
where do i go to find out about bes phindra crew?
Andromeda wouldn't be too bad it was in TOS episode 22 if I remember correctly and atleast it was made by Roddenberry😉
GQ - no, just no. What's next Battlestar Galactica? Buck Rogers? John Carter? This may well be Scopely's SOE_SWG_CU moment... Good luck and thanks for all the fish.
Another really good way to look at this, is with a question. Would you, or the community have sunk anywhere near the money u have into this game if galaxy quest was part of stfc at the beginning ? Would stfc have been a commercial success? No, and no.
And then continuing, if the answer is no, then u scopely, have completely taken our money under a false claim, ' this is a startrek game'.
<@&509690795536941056> has been answering non-gq comments, has yet to address how the overwhelming majority of players (69% of 1,600 respondents to Rev's poll alone) hate the idea. Is Scopely reconsidering direction on this?
Honestly I signed up for a star trek game. Nothing else
If relying on big spenders to vote with their wallet is the key then we're screwed. Its so easy to just walk away for a month, that would have them fixing something but some people are compelled and obsessed with constant progression and having a bigger number. Is it even fun anymore?
I agree... this galaxy quest is kaaakpapier aka holrol. In the 80's my dad watched it, made me a fan, supported the merchandise, now we get this and BEK said in twitch last night she is a fan of galaxy quest... after revd vote number it should be ditched and they must focus on what player base love and actually know.
Impressive, for a film that came out in 1999.
When spawning ships in systems like for example a 39 system with 38-40 can you please not screw me over and only spawn full systems of 38s I need 39 and up for dailies and other than veteran systems the romulan 39s are legitimately non existant on my server rn
I’m pretty sure including GQ was a Paramount decision for marketing purposes that Scopely decided to run with. Got the same feeling re: Picard and recent SNW-focused ads. The way I see it is this: Picard mostly sucked as a show, but we got the Ex-Borg faction out of it. There was only one Hysperian episode of LD, and we got the Monaveen, and one Majalan episode of SNW and we got the Mantis. If we get one new cool game thingy from GQ, I got no problems with it. Plus, I expect the storyline/missions will be better and more fun than the xenophobic lobster-people one from a couple arcs ago— did everyone forget that mess already?
If the new arc is in the jest like the film Comical and fun and Not some horrible grind
“Collect 1 million beryllium spheres”
@tidal notch PLEASE operate the Omega 13 and go back and fix the mistake that led $copley to think introducing Galaxy Quest into a STAR TREK game was a good idea!
Galaxy Quest probably was done for marketing purposes, which only reinforces that we have to continuously complain about it to get it removed.
Doubt they would have anything to replace it in time
@tidal notch Seriously, you have a game that despite ALL the game stability issues , despite ALL the money-grab complaints... people keep playing BECAUSE they love STAR TREK.... and you ($copley) think introducing an Arc with absolutely no connection to Star Trek other than being a "tongue in cheek" rib at the Star Trek Fandom ... was a good idea?????? You are alienating a good 50% of your customer base!
True. I’m so desperate for them to fix that queue I may buy a Kin’Shars Bug Fix Prime
They have plenty of art assets to use, they just have to swap out the galaxy quest art. But they wont do it unless they think they have to. So we all have to make sure Scopely knows they Have To change it.
Bahahahaha
@maiden gate u have nailed it there. People put up with a lot of **** from scopely for one single reason..... they love startrek. By trashing that part of the game you are absolutely asking for financial troubles, the sort that scopely hasn't seen yet. I really hope this time, people bite the bullet, and say 'no' with their wallets.
Hi Scopley, can I get even more lag with the 3 times I had to restart my game this morning?????
And here I thought it was simple addiction 😅
What is the point for making multiple hostile events, when there is loot locked .. remove the lock or increase it. Scopely makes endless of grinding feast in this game with multiple events, so…
Oh no! Scopely adding Galaxy Quest! What we gonna do? Here comes ghostbusters arc! 😂😂😂😂😂
The xenophobic mantis shrimp people actually had me laughing. But, your entire point stands. I think GQ will be fun, if nothing else.
If it’s made fun , who’s to say it’s not another grind
I don't get all the "this is a STAR TREK GAME, I only want STAR TREK in it!". Like, it's not as if Scopely is at all faithful to the source material on the average. And there's a fairly substantial portion of players that know little to nothing about Trek. There's a few just in my alliance who've watched literally none of it, and just play the game cause it's spaceships and such. I don't know much of anyone who keeps playing the game just because it's Star Trek and they love it, though I'll not argue they exist. But that said, if you do love it, then a) I don't see not enjoying Galaxy Quest and having the open mind to see if it's at least a fun little addition, and b) if you truly love it that much, then a two month side-track of some different content won't take away from the rest of the game still being Trek, and will go back to that. I get ticked off sometimes at their disregard for source material, but the rest of the game is still there and still fun, so who cares if Trip inexplicably gives you a bonus to Hirogen loot or that tactical officer Tuvok somehow increases Formada rewards and Voyager cargo instead of, oh, I dunno, Voyager combat capacity... or that the Enterprises cloak... or that the Defiant, a battleship made to combat the Borg and Dominion, is an interceptor... and so on, and so forth.
Quality over Quantity month. Make good on the promise. Don't add anything, run a pass anyways.
STFC is, at best, a fanfic written by an adult who only watched when they were a kid and going on memory. However, no matter how much they get wrong about characters and ships, it's always still Trek. Over 1,000 people of the 14k player base (including the many dead accounts and duplicates) have come out against this move. Permanent change by adding a ship and officers fundamentally changes the game as a whole. This could be a fun temporary event, but I am wholly against this permanent change and I'm very far from alone.
For every errmerrrgeeerd NO that's no trek person, there's a legion that are like... neat.. but you'll never hear from them.
I'd love to see the source of the 1000 people 😂
Galaxy quest as a short 1 or 2 week run instead of the officer flash pass would have been more acceptable but as a full arc I don't see it adding anything useful or fun into the overly rough grinds they've been adding all year now. As a film it was OK but it's not star trek and as such shouldn't have a full arc devoted to it, but it's way to late for them to change it as it would have been planned 6 months back easily
Are there only 14k players? 🤔
I think he might have found the 'Star Trek Online' numbers that I just did
Star Trek Online player count, server population, subscribers and game activity stats (aka sto).
Certainly. 69% of 1.8k respondents is 1,242, so I low-balled it, actually. Don't speak for me again, please. The 14k number was mentioned in the stream with DJz yesterday.

starting to think you're just pulling random numbers? 👀
ah, I see it
still
if you're counting rev followers as the total number of players?
I have no idea where the 14k came from
I joined the game as fan of the Stargate series, but after joining I became interested in Trek. Introducing outside content makes a mockery of the series and the players… we’re not taken seriously, just like their bug riddled game. It’s an insult imo.
Again, it was said in the DJz stream yesterday. Maybe they were wrong? I'd think CC's and his guests yesterday would know best, personally.....
1000 people is a very vocal minority, in reality. You and others keep throwing that number out like it means something when it really doesn't.
First off, you're talking about 1000 very, or at least somewhat, dedicated people... people dedicated enough to the game and content to go watch these live streams. The majority of players aren't that devoted to content.
Second, of those in the mentioned poll 31% still approved. So 31% of even the devoted fan base is ok with it. When you combine points one and two, it becomes feasible that the majority of the player base really doesn't care that much.
Third, of that vocal group, how many are actually spenders to a degree that Scopely would care? I can almost bet when you break it all down, it ends up being a very small fraction of the whole base.
Fourth, in the same vein as the first, although there is very vocal opposition here as well, again, it's people who care enough to say anything at all, which still ends up being a small fraction.
By and large, that poll means squat in the end. It's a bunch of vocal and dedicated people who don't represent majority interest because most of the player base just doesn't care that much. That 1000 people is a very biased sample... one that isn't going to matter. And again, I just don't see it as that big a deal, and that's as a huge Star Trek fan.
and how many of those live in a basement and post on discord all day
In short, "people who care and don't like it don't matter because less people who care like it"... Got it.
@crude sandal please address Scawa making unbased personal insults
I think it's a bigger mockery of the series and fans to mess up source content, which they do regularly.
Frankly, I'd rather a fun crossover in a game about a series known for cross time and dimension nonsense than just willy-nilly ignoring the source for the regular material.
I'll have you know I live in the box room/office 😂
Sarcasm aside, essentially, yes. Scopely won't care about what isn't enough of their bankroll to matter.
My point was also that 1200 people is just a biased sample. That doesn't mean 70% of the actual player base thinks the content is a bad idea. It might mean 70% of the devoted players who care that much about the source content care, but in reality, that isn't most players of this game. I'm just saying it's not a fair representation of reality so it isn't really useful to portray it like it is.
Bottom line there's a huge portion of the player base who don't use socials.. and those that are gonna be surprised on Tuesday.
That's what polls are... They are a sample of a population. 1.8k in 36 hours is pretty strong.
I would be interested in knowing the actual number of active players instead of a mod scoffing at the number said yesterday...
the most recent quote I can find on it is from december last year and described as "hundreds of thousands of players logging in every day, with 90% of players sticking around for a year", I have no doubt that's dropped a chunk since then, and that may just be the numbers they feed to Paramount (https://digiday.com/marketing/how-paramount-and-scopely-are-using-a-live-service-game-to-keep-star-trek-fans-engaged/), but 14k seems light for the number of servers (132 listed on stfc.wtf - there's definitely more than ~110 players on each server active)
I'm just saying it's a biased sample that gives a biased result. It's like polling one major party and asking who they'll vote for, then saying that candidate will win the election cause the majority said they'd vote for that candidate. Yeah, the majority of that biased sample. Not the true representation of the population.
And I feel like the argument that introducing non-Trek stuff will ruin the game or fundamentally change it somehow is a bit specious, to boot. They introduce things all the time that aren't in Trek, but I guess cause they brand it, it's fine? Like, the Silent Enemies and Actian don't even exist, and really aren't even branded, but we aren't giving them a hard time for not being Trek. A good chunk of the ships are made up. As are the station buildings. The Progenitors which are the main mission storyline of the whole game. This game is chock-full of non-Trek stuff that's part of the day to day, and no one bats an eye (or likely knows better in many cases). I mean, we can just call it the USS Protector and say they're from a universe where they're part of Starfleet and call it good.
Progenitors come up in like, one TNG episode and a couple of disco I think? 🙂
1 tng, 4 disco
One TNG episode and the focus of the last season of Disco. But not at all like they're portrayed in the game. The game portrayal is something entirely different and created specifically for STFC. They weren't even called Progenitors until Disco, which obviously came out after the game version was created.
Let me get this straight. The programmers at Scopley spend a great amount of time programming these maintenance updates with the intent of trying to fix the playability of the game.........I assume. And the maintenance release makes even more bugs and renders tha game partially or in many cases completely un playable for days. I'm glad Scopley isn't in the auto repair business. Please start testing these releases before you let them into the wild.
Cost to travel one Borg Transwarp cell...... 1. I am already in the system.... 2. The system is Siio lux there is not Borg in this system. 3. My ship is already there just resetting the node... Come on get it fixed. 4. apparently the system Sii olux can not be used in discord due to your censorship rules. 5. really your going to tell me I can not use your word and then put me in the slow mode for posting... nothing was posted... cant run your game and cant manage discord. fail and fail
Not staying totally with the storyline,making stuff up, and adding new content not shown in the franchise is all fine... They just brand it as Trek like all other previous stuff that was at one time new. Bringing branded non-Trek content is not the same thing… I don’t expect to go to McDonald’s and be sold KFC.
Stats will always be flawed, regardless of source, and the ultimate measure will be counted in dollars as always.
Thanks
I appreciate that @crude sandal is participating here, but I'm very disappointed that <@&509690795536941056> are avoiding the topic entirely almost 48 hours since they announced.
It’s funny how according to star trek’s series where the mention the federation laws on cloaking that cloaking and augmented humans are illegal yet scopley giving federation a lot of cloaking ships lol . Many of the series do mention the fact cloaking is illegal under federation laws . One of the most recent series that I seen is Star Trek prodigy which stated it.
They changed their tune with the Dominion war
Community Managers don't read nor care what transpires in this discord room. It's not the payor room. They only sit one "community manager" in the room as an appearance of consideration.
Star Trek has crossovers all over Beta Canon (which is where TNG Mirror comes from, the comics). So by that logic, Green Latern, Alien, and X-Men are fine because they were in branded Trek Comics.
And I don't think adding random bs and branding it as Trek is fine. Especially not when you're weighing it against one of the most popular, and sincere, homages to Trek out there. As a fan, I'd rather have something that respected Star Trek and what it is at its core than random crap thrown in and called Trek for money's sake.
Besides, crossovers are a common, and usually fun, thing in media (even games) all over... especially in sci-fi. I'd rather a crossover for fun than screwed up source material. Like, give me an episode of SNW where they meet Kryptonians over killing Scotty for the sake of the story (or whatever other "insert contrivance here" you want). At least this crossover makes a little sense... it's not like some games that throw in completely unrelated media for promotion.
The in-universe explanation is that they used a cloak with Romulan permission for one ship during the Dominion war. But, with the fall of Romulus, the Treaty of Algeron (I think it was) was no longer valid... starting sometime between Voyager ending and Picard starting, they were free to develop that tech (though they probably waited so they wouldn't anger their new refugees). Meaning basically every Fed ship in the game, save the Disco (and Defiant), shouldn't have a cloak by canon. They just threw that to the wind. And the MU mission about them not having cloaking in the MU is bunk since they got it, in canon, during DS9, when Quark and Rom brought it over.
Why aren't we not trading with the MU?! I mean maybe they want my legion of kehra bps!
Right?
Can I interest you in a fleet of 50 ECS Horizon mining ships, Empress Nerys?
We are not avoiding the topic. I've been caught up with addressing some critical bug reports, which has taken up much of my time.
The defiant had a cloak, the enterprise TOS and TNG both used cloaks at one point.
https://tenor.com/view/batman-dark-knight-heath-ledger-everyone-loses-their-minds-gif-3462686 Trek fans discussing made up content
Yep, various series have established that cloaking technology is typically prohibited under Federation laws but our decision to introduce cloaking on Federation ships was influenced by player feedback.
In TOS, the cloak situation was when they were under orders to steal the cloaking device prior to the Treaty that banned its use. I don't recall them ever using it in the TOS era, though they may have once.
TNG does it twice. Once during "Pegasus" to escape their situation, after which they immediately disavowed its further use, and once during an alternate future where the Treaty was no longer valid.
Otherwise, the only two ships not breaking Treaty were the Disco cause of the future (where the Treaty was gone), and the Defiant.
The elevator at the Hilton told me I was a descendant of Picard too.
This is all that's been said on it by you guys. Hamster was here yesterday only responding to other items in the middle of mostly negative response here to GQ being a permanent addition to the game.
@raw fiber any chance we can get that tantalus field premium dust during this event?
It's clear that there's a lot of discussion about GQ becoming a permanent addition to the game. Hammy and I will ensure that this feedback will be forwarded to the right team.
is this for the next update (now I'm lost)
Thank you, that's all I can realistically ask.
this arc. it's my understanding that the Mirror Tech 1 SMS that awards premium mirror dust for players who purchased the tantalus field was bugged and removed. an announcement was made on July 17 by Hammy saying players would receive the dust at the end of the arc. it sure would be nice to get now during the mirror dust spend SLB
#⭐-official-announcements message
At the end of the arc probably means Monday, after there’s nothing to use it on that scores.
Yes this....I am one of the ones who bought it and got scopleyed out of the reward.
@tidal notch currently watching your interview with DJz, I agree we need BGS in the game
As long as its seasons 1 through 3.5. I don't think anything after that should be BSG canon...
I’ve played over 300k games like this on phone and pc combined and this is really the only one that seems to go out of its way to screw players over just to try and make a buck. From their outrageous pricing for just a few bits of code that over half don’t even really work like there supposed to. Only thing going for them is the Star Trek fan base if it wasn’t something with an already huge fan base it wouldn’t have lasted this long that is a fact. I played one that was far better had no already built fan base that tanked because of all the over pricing and unfairness in the game. . But who am I other then a gamer who’s been around long enough to see lots of games make and a lot more that dropped off the face of the earth unheard of again. Definitely old enough to know you make far more money at cheaper prices than you do at outrageous prices for very little with even less value. Just in buying some of my add ons for my PlayStation games I’ve spent several thousand in a year before I even knew it at buying far cheaper content that has far more value even some with same value as most the garbage scopley sells. Y’all might as well buy swap land in Florida for $1 an acre you would still be getting better deal then scopley’s
I am a player in the ops 30-39 bracket. Since December it has been strange seeing all content be 40+. Now the live stream made it clear: get to 40 asap.
But, there are many things designed to be either time or money. I'm short G3 uncommon resources - time or money.
In the 30-39 ops bracket many events are not run, so we're missing out on resources / shards to do the "catching up" you are suggesting we do.
Then you need to pay money
Game needs QoL now. 2 updates in 3 days. Same bugs
Anyone have the new waves as a chart
Same as before, just mu faction groups instead of regular faction and Hirogen interceptors, bioship battleships, Texas explorers where swarm, actian, and probes were. The only difference is bioships mixed into wave 6 faction battleships
300k games :)? When do you sleep
So we are now at the halfway point… how’s about that half unlock pack in the store? 🤣
what's the point to researching impulse speed for all ships, when it does not reflect in actual ship flying speed in spaces, glitches in this game are beyond a joke
Noooo don’t buy it. I thought the NX was a waste/useless but they pushed the boat out with that piece of poop!
Game is lagging really bad, since yesterday evening, chat is frozen since 14h, dailies/events not scoring, constant bad connection sign, Server 137
lol the nx is one of the most valuable loops, you shouldnt be spreading mis-information about like that
300,000 games like this? Really? That's one a day for 821 years... That's seriously impressive levels of hyperbole 😄
@magic fractal - heads up, I can see what you're trying to push past the automod, stop, because it's against the rules 😉
@raw fiber pm'd you with a question ty
checking
they add bugs every arc to fix them months later. their goal is soley pushing out content as fast as possible so they can milk ppl. they are not diverting resources unless its a bug that gets them complaints on the whale vip discord.
You summer ship tokens are nice but I wish you had options to get full unlocks of the players faction ships too. I already have the specialty ships...
Yeah it’s a terrible idea to be in the game at all.
That’s right as far as I can remember. Of course I agree with the Admiral for the pegasus episode. It would make no sense to enter into a treaty that stops you from having cloaks but not the other side.
When Artifact Gallery building is upgrading, I believe the artifact menu is not available. Can’t upgrade, can’t count shards to upgrade. We have other buildings with similar issues. I honestly can’t think it’s by design. You guys should look into it. At the same time, Why can’t you guys show us in stores how much we have of something? It’s annoying. Maybe some people click like mad, but I feel most of us just do what we need. It’s bad exp to have to backtrack and go into dif menus to count your own stuff
While we are at it, why isn’t temporal here. Yes I rushed the building just to see if I by chance had a temporal to upgrade, thanks a lot……
at this point its a good time to find another game perhaps. the higher economy's will eventually be forced to move further also. if u think things are slow in g3 when not spending g4 and g5 will not be better.
Any chance this idea could be passed over to the devs? <@&509690795536941056>
It's a cool suggestion, and we have already forwarded similar ideas. Hopefully, our game design team can incorporate it into the game 🤞
Galaxy-chat should become GalaxyQuest-chat ... ba bom tince
Let us help you get ready for the new arc by paying us £100 😂
Is this Scopely's bright idea to help people catch up (reach ops 40)? Are they that clueless about the game to realize that many of the players below ops 40 are below ops 40 because they DON'T spend money.
This is Scopely after all, where to "celebrate" holidays and their birthday we must spend money now
I still can't believe they're pushing Galaxy Quest content when there's still so much Trek stuff missing, not to mention all the bug fixes and quality of life improvements that are needed
Why is slow mode enabled here? 👀 What happened?
No , this is under the title "What a Savings" when it SHOULD be under the "Please don't quit the game because we are introducing NON-Star Trek garbage into a STAR TREK game"
And then when people buy the pack they'll say "SEE ... Galaxy Quest IS something people wanted in the game"
So we need to buy the exo comp to find out what %boost it gives? Lol way to market scopely.
If SlowMode is engaged ... the customer base can't FLOOD $copley with the amount of complaints and disdain they have for this Game KILLING Galaxy Quest DUMPSTER FIRE.
Thanks for personalising IGN as per my suggestion. Maybe hold back on the "Commander" .... more on the personalisation ?
Slow Mode is always enabled in feedback channels because they're for feedback not conversations
they don't want to acknowledge that they so actively hinder officer acquisition that rushing to 40 isn't practical and count on new players not knowing this and rushing 40 only to find themselves behind older players in the 30s
Well, consider this my extremely negative feedback for the inclusion of Galaxy Quest content in this game. I signed up for a Star Trek game. I've been playing it since launch, and this makes me regret the investment of time and money.
I'm betting it's really 200% but who knows, maybe they really are doing 2x your current efficiencies. If so it should halve the cost of everything. But yeah I'm not spending to find out
if it does that good luck scoring in a recruit tomorrow if they run one
The 2x looks to be what they give in mats and rss in the pack. Also that’s not how the formula works for the efficiency. As your efficiency % goes up the returns get smaller.
This isn't giving me warm, fuzzy feelings about the health of the game. It comes of as a desperate early cash grab on future content that a lot of people are already upset over.
game is gonna have an exodus of players and will be shut down. the lack of effort in player retention should be enough warning.
To declare something like this as a ‘special offer’ is shameless!
So how do we now turn off the news pings if you are going to use it for scummy purchase deals! Stick these types of pings where the sun don't shine!
still any unknown efficiency could be ruinous for scoring. and I am well aware of how efficiencies work and even if was only 200% that is still double what a sub 40s player will have for buildings even with the primes
Exocomps should work like crits do for damage. Ie after all your other bonuses are calculated, then you factor in exocomps. As it is, I barely see any effect from exocomps ever.
Any buff or debuff should be calculated off what the player is seeing and not off back end stats. Lower the buff to 20 percent and make it off final numbers if the current buffs would calculate too large. Players should have the transparency to understand and plan their spending without having to know the formulas for hidden stats.
Trying to target me for buying your crap is a waist of your time and my time!!! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again my days of buying your crap is way over. Reasons why: 1) your game is so broken it barely even plays, (2) tech support is absolutely useless, (3) your pricing is way overpriced for nothing but a few codes, (4) you don’t care about your players and fans you only care about how much money you can weasel out of people. (5) and lastly your extremely unfair game play. This is an honest review. The game is nice when it works right and has huge potential to be great, I just think scopley is wrong company for this game since scopley seems to only be in it to make money and not great entertainment which is truly the wrong reason for being in gaming industry. Great entertainment generally brings money your just a failing company that has no real business since and fail to realize without fans and players you have nothing
Besides exocomp sucks I don’t even really use any of it so I sure and the heck not going to buy any stupid exocomp. I haven’t even been buying the battle pass for $20 for like about a year and you think sending me an offer for crap I don’t even care about and barely ever use is going to hook me? Boy yall have no clue of what a real game is all about or why I keep playing this game despite how broken and unfair it is to free to play. I like the game and game genre . I ve seen the potential of the game, I’ve seen some good come but unfortunately more bugs and glitches that an incompetent company can’t seem to fix and only makes things worse. if you stop trying to rip people off with your rediculous over pricing and actually address all players concerns instead of trying to blow smoke up peoples tailpipes and actually fix the game instead of just slapping bandaides on it you could actually have a great game and be come a better company. You can’t but a bandaid on what’s basically a giant hole in the gut were everything is just falling out. Bandaides only work for small cuts not major wounds and this game suffers from a major wound
And many people above 40 were below 40 until they spent money. It’s as though they know this 🤷♂️
I was thinking of buying the BP for the first time in 6 to 8 month. This $99 "special offer" to prepare for future content rubs me the wrong way. Thanks for saving me $20.
The exo is a freebie. The rss & mats there are more than have ever been offered in a single pack (~230%). You basically get the most mats+rss ever, plus an exo to stretch them even farther. There’s never been a pack this good. Granted, not everyone will spend, and I respect that, but those of us who do will get more from this pack than any that’s ever been offered before
Pixels still worth nothing.
Oh, absolutely. I completely agree. Some people eat at fancy restaurants. Some people buy cars w/ bad gas mileage. Some go to the movies and buy popcorn & sodas. It’s all disposable, and we dispose of it on different things we like. I’ll never buy a soda at a movie theater, but I don’t mock folks who do. Their money, their choice. What brings happiness?
They know it the saddest part is so many are stupid enough to go for it. No offense but I can tell you right now ain’t none of scopley’s packs for $100 is worth the price it’s all a bunch of code . Most companies only charge $0.99 for skins for vehicles and even vehicles, heck for large dlc add ons you don’t even pay $100 . Physical disc games you can get new for $70 and it’s the whole game not a few little codes that don’t really add anything. Code can’t be sold or trade among family and friends and other people so the value is very minimal.
Even other mobile games tend to charge less. Even at that ain’t no few codes of lines worth $100 especially since writing code ain’t as hard as it used to be when it was all ms dos
While I do not agree with all of @sacred garden's comments. I do agree that this package is way overpriced for some people. I mean this particular package is very nice and has some nice items in it. But not everyone can drop at the end of a month $100 when they live by a budget. The economy of the times require planning and budgetting at times. I am sorry, but in the last 5 days of a month some people just do not have this type of extra cash when they are working on reducing debt and budgeting for the uncertain tomorrow with the costs of things constently increasing.
Soda at a movie doesn't cost $99 and I get about 2 hours of improved "happiness". Any pack I've seen may help me do one ship component, research or building but the miniscule improvement each upgrade provides causes whatever "happiness" it brought to vanish almost instantly. And the constant devaluation of RSS as ops increases sours it even more
If I really wanted to compare to console I can download several completely digital complete games for under $100 that’s even including many of themselves $100 worth of dlc add on content. Scopley’s $100 sips are really only 1-3 lines of code and that is it. Most of which they pull off an internet code base were you can get codes for everything. I know because I can pull a lot of those exact same codes.
What about building ships it taking all blue prints and materials and lat to speed it up and the ship goes missing
I have mannnnnny hours of happiness from this game. Far more than I would have gotten from a Diet Coke at a theater (which actually would reduce my happiness bc I’d have to leave to pee, lol). But hey, the packs aren’t for you. I get that and respect it. I don’t walk through a movie theater shouting “$5 for a 24 oz is ridiculous!” Do you think maybe I should?
This game doesn’t make money from happiness. Who cares what you do or don’t do. Prices are still ridiculous.
True. I would def rather pay $5 for today’s special pack 🤣
for $5 i will get 20 of them 😄
Code is code boil it down to binary code it’s all a bunch of ones and zeros . Most codes the get from a code data bank were it’s already written. I used to have to write my own codes, nowadays you can search on a a data base to get a lot of them and you don’t have to write so much. The hardest part is getting them all to work together. Coding aint as hard as it used to be. Besides if you really want to make money people by far more from $5-$20 range then they do from $50-$100 range. Simple economics people will spend a lot more money buying cheap then they will expensive. Yeah it might be nice buying a meal that cost $100s a plate but the portions are nothing but an appetizer leaving you starving so you go buy a $20 meal to get full. Yeah Jack Nicolas might go to expensive restaurants to eat but he has been seen multiple times after picking up fast food from Jack n the box for the expensive never filling.
Would you pay the price of a new tv for a broken one that barely works? For me I won’t and to me the game is like the broken tv so I won’t buy anything. You’re not going to pay a mechanic to fix your car when he doesn’t are you? I won’t . That’s precisely what scopley is trying to ask me to due with this stupid exocomp so called special offer for $100. News flash scopley I ain’t no sucker or fool!!!! I don’t spend money on broken games never have and never will and this is a very broken game
mate, ppl buy oled and theres nothing you can tell them to make them stop. youre preaching to the wrong crowd here lol
Does the exo work on mats and rss? Thought it was just rss?
Both. Cost efficiency and speed. (At least, I’m pretty the “cost” is both. Will confirm tm at XSLB, lol)
I’ll always be brutally honest about the game. Yes I like the game and many aspects of it. Do I think you can fix the game? Honestly I don’t think anyone there at scopley even knows what their doing let alone competent enough to fix the issues with the game. Partly for it takes one that cares not just about making money but also about the game , fans and gamers. I just don’t see anyone there that cares.
Really who cares it’s just another bs thing to get you to blow money on a broken game.
@tidal notch you should set the kirshara artifact to its max tier for everyone who bought it. Consider it the cost of hiring a qa department
With all the bugs glitches that prevent you from enjoying the game and always forcing you out of the game and preventing you logging into the game or switching ships and officers or entering base so you can upgrade it or go to upgrade tech . They should be giving the stuff for free instead of trying to charge for it. I’m constantly reloading my game every 5 minutes just so I can either do an upgrade or switch my ship or switch my crews Or just because I want to see what events I need to do all because scopley can’t fix bugs and glitches, yet scopley expects me to pay them for all these glitches and bugs . You have to be really stupid to pay for broken crap and fusteration. As much issues I have in playing this game due to all the bugs and glitches no freaken way I’m going to buy anything I don’t care if they drop the price of it from $100-$0.99 I’m not going to buy it . It might have a ton of things in it that might make it worth $20 but with all the bugs and glitches and having to fight those just to play the game heck no I ain’t going to buy anything. Fix all the game issues and maybe I might concider spending money from time to time here. Tell then you can forget it my money will go to my PlayStation games instead
Well crap thought we had more time to spend the resistance chits…. Looks like more worthless crap that will never be used
You have 5 more days, can you not spend them in that time?
By no means do I go shouting anything in this forum. I rarely post.
I do get much happiness from this game. My point was the perceived improvement to my enjoyment is not at all commensurate with the cost of the packs. I know my sentiment is not shared by all, and if you feel the packs bring you more enjoyment, great.
Best $200 I ever spent on this game was upgrading my android tablet. Waaaay better bump to my enjoyment and has lasted years.
I really hope no one falls for the new 'special' It's timing has everything to do with the galaxy quest announcement. Scopely executive "see I told u they'd whine and moan, then still gives us their money." Vote with your wallets, vote no to crap content.
Right. So my point ultimately is that we spend on what we enjoy and are probably best-advised to not complain when others spend on things they enjoy that we don’t. For the most part, any comment to the effect of “I don’t get enjoyment from…” in a ‘public’ place devoted to the thing from which folks get enjoyment is akin to my shouting in a theater analogy. Probably best to just not spend on the thing that doesn’t bring enjoyment and not feel the need to proclaim that sentiment (not that you did so much, but maybe you get my point).
@tidal notch I have to say I’m actually impressed at both the kir’shara compensation but also the message that came with it. That’s literally all we’ve been asking for all this time. Fair comp and acknowledging that it hasn’t been good enough. I give you a fair amount of grief on here but these actions are genuinely appreciated. This needs to be the new normal moving forward please because the bugs and issues are easier to swallow when we know there’s a fair and proportional response on the way. Muchos appreciado……. PS, I don’t care what you had for lunch on any given day and the galaxy quest thing is still a horrible idea, just for balance 😉
All the event rewards are gone for me - 🫤. Hopefully they will reappear
Agreed. I bought the pack. I’ll also be enjoying next month’s arc. Thanks for the advice!
Reboot? Clear localization?
I hope u do enjoy it, sincerely, just wish you could enjoy it on another game not 'labled' startrek.
Question about the #⭐-official-announcements message regarding Kir’shara's artifact compensation. Is this something we have to claim @tidal notch, or does it just get ingested into the coffers? The reason that I'm asking is because I didn't receive anything as of yet and just want to make sure I'm tracking how the gift arrives.
Close and reopen the game, it should be there in the claims section
Yo scopley I already told you I don’t give a rats behind about your latest scam!!!!!! Fix your game!!!!!! I’m not buying that !!!!!!!! I don’t find it worth $100 nor do I find you worthy of getting my money when you either can’t or won’t fix your games bug and glitches problem!!!!!!!!!
I’ve enjoyed 45 months of ST in this game, so I’m OK with one month devoted to a great parody of ST. I never read the missions anyway, lol
<@&509690795536941056> A bunch of us in my alliance were talking, and I'm sure this sentiment is echoed throughout the game across the servers. We need Scopely to take a month off and just repair the game properly. Give 4 weeks of generic officer flash passes so that the developers, coders and everyone else involved can just take the time to breathe and get the bugs worked out before starting a new Battlepass. It'll make everyone's experience, on both sides of the fence, more enjoyable.
@robust knoll Fair point, however I was already struggling with the dodgy adherence to lore at every turn (nx01 ×5 more powerful then enterprise, I'm looking at you). So, while to some it's only mildly important, to me it's HUGELY important in a trek game, and so for me, I'm not spending anymore,...... I can't.
$99.99 for an exocomp designed to make you spend mats faster, so you can buy more packs. Genius move.
I completely respect that. I guess for me the lore has been pretty meh for a while, so this is actually an improvement, lol. At least GQ has blonde Sigourney Weaver 🤣
I love sig, always have lol.
What? That’s not even remotely close to how that exo works. And the $99 is for the rss & mats (highest we’ve ever been offered). exo is just a freebie that makes them go even farther. The exo on top of all the mats & rss makes this the most valuable “station” pack we’ve ever gotten. I mean, spend or don’t spend, but if you don’t see how this is most bang for the buck we’ve ever gotten, you should reevaluate.
Agreed
It spells desperation when you try so hard to get someone’s $100’s for crap that they just not interested in. I’m not interested in spending $100, $50, $20 or even $5 on a broken game that is a major fight just to stay logged in. Nice try but I gotta give you a big fat no
For anyone buying the pack, the 42% reduction is on BASE…. Equates to a real world 12,5% just so people are informed
Yeah and if you jump on buying that crap your big fool. With as broken this game is it really doesn’t matter if they combine all their packs into this one for the same price. I still refuse to spend a single penny on anything in this game. Not worth doing so when the game is so badly broken that every time you try to do something you either get kicked out of it or get a frozen screen were you have to log out and back in to get maybe 30 seconds of play time before it does it again. I still have that crap happening sometimes while trying to do wave defense were it cost me. Been telling them tell blue in the face about over half the issues for the past 4 years out of the 6 years going on 7 yrs of playing the game with all them just blowing smoke up my tailpipe. So why the heck would I want to buy basically more bugs and glitches when they can’t or won’t fix the ones that are in it and many of those go all the way back to release. I know for I been playing that long. So no scopley I won’t be giving you any of my money
Different depending on player and their research, but it’s still a nice boost
lol 75% research eff...equals out to right around 10% of actual....research that right now cost 4.1k would cost 3650....no sale
It’s because of the issues you mentioned that I’m very picky about when I do spend on this game. If it functioned the way it should I’d probably spend 3x what I do so they are losing out on a lot of my custom
Fallout was one of my favorite game series, serpent a lot of money and time on them. Fallout 76 I bought and played from preorder . It was ok even though bethsada screwed non pvp players by having the option out of pvp a one sided affair allowing pvp players to kill them even though opted out. Still played it despite that issue. Then they decided to add a weight limit in a game series that never had one. That for me was last straw. Uninstalled it and never played it again. It to had glitches and bugs just like all Bethesda games and just like this one. Only difference most Bethesda game glitches are comicial and don’t stop you from playing and enjoying unlike this ones. As for you all that say don’t compare to console or pc. I say you should compare to all platforms and other games. Especially when it’s digital , platform matters little . Its game performance and companies handling tech issues that matters just on mobile I’ve played over 3k games like this and most those don’t have the issues this one has . Reason why better companies.
HOW OFTEN does one have to click this 🤬 Video button for it to FINALLY disappear and stay off the screen? Clicked it 5-6 times already during the last couple of hours, yet it keeps coming back 😡😡
its annoying but you need to open each video for it to go away until it decides you need to watch them again
Thanks for the feedback. Today for lunch I had a sammy. It was tasty, but no quesadilla.
the could have just taken a material pack .. add 42% more resource and more lat to compensate for the time. but that would add actual VALUE.
If you ate Sammy than prepare yourself, you ll be hunted by Dean
It's not "one month". It's a permanent ship and officers. I'd be fine with temporary, too. This is a permanent change and that's taking it too far.
Sorry is this the idea to help people catch up ?
Truth: I would probably buy a full month of flash passes, officer dependent of course. Agree 💯. Joke: All engineering offers for game fixes 😂
Eh, I’m still OK with it. GQ was a great movie, and it’s just a game, so 🤷♂️
<@&509690795536941056> good to see you compensate for a not 100% operating artifact. May I now kindly request the same form of compensation for the mantis which was plagued with hostiles getting stuck and getting replaced by the tal crew just days/weeks after the release?
That might be tricky.
less content
more stability
Were the heck these hostiles are
anybody else's game freaking out? cant select a ship or galaxy without the UI freaking out on PC
