Lag is horrible. Getting kicked out of the game

[uneven plume]

Will not even load

[pastel herald]

and now even doing the refinery is insane slow... there is just no justification for letting ourselves be beta testers

[jade patio]

Exactly… instead of adding new event type stuff to existing content, to keep the game interesting, they just kept adding more and more content, which just became overwhelming.

[elder fossil]

Major freaking lag on US Server 16 smh

[junior pumice]

EU 172. I have lags on taking into account destroyed armadas. My score does not change

[vivid quarry]

Every day lag gets worse and worse and they didn’t absolutely nothing about it

[limber mesa]

@raw fiber global servers, not US-only.

[manic python]

europe also lags!

[runic dust]

EU servers it’s the same

[grave quest]

@raw fiber <@&509690795536941056> great for the US but what about the lag the EU has been reporting for days if not longer!!!!!!

#MakeEUServersMatterAgain

[harsh valve]

APAC servers also running like snails too... Painful

[cunning tulip]

@raw fiber EU server 401 lagging horribly also, any chest pulls are eternity....whole refinery is nearly unusable

[mint sedge]

Exactly. Right now I'm looking at Connection Issue windows, although there is no problem with my Internet connection. And 10 minutes earlier it took a lot just to open the Store. The FC event says nobody has scored, yet I'm number 3, and so on.
I am on EU-130 Batleth.

[pastel herald]

while claiming to go to more stability and less content lol ( they worded it differently ) , it is just not worth no more.. like talking to a brick wall with these people. I went from whale loving the game to meh, to,, I wonder if I should bother... just gets worse, I am looking to exit this game I guess, I have backed off myself over the last few months as more and more is added and nothing to make stability - I had read somewhere cost cutting moves were made to move the server to AWS ( amazon web services ) from their own dedicated system a while ago.

[solid spoke]

EU 108 takes about 10 to 20 seconds to do anything so it's not just US servers

[vivid quarry]

Eu 184 the same

[exotic fog]

Over 20 minutes just to collect gifts and do refines on a PC...all this quality over quantity is helping kill time going into old age.

[dire wigeon]

US servers basically imploded during Arenas other night. I mean it was unplayable and there wasnt even an acknowledgment of the event being ruined

[mint sedge]

@raw fiber @tidal notch I think you should postpone the Incursions event after you have resolved this lag that is affecting both US and EU servers.

[pastel herald]

yea, I about had enough...

[haughty sail]

with this lag, all you can do is just pop a shield and check back in a day later

[torpid cargo]

Need Help. I am failing to understand the argument of Arenas killing mining monday. I know it recalls the miners. The help I need is why the concern for mining monday....it sucks. The rewards suck, its all passive anyways, so dont send your miners out if your going to do arenas. Am I missing a mining monday event that has good payouts and rewards?

[finite mural]

It recalls the miners, spaces your cargo and gives you 0 points for the event. If you can't see why that is an issue for people, then you have other problems.

[pine raft]

Nightmare Nexus Borg SMS is just bugged out for me, killing Borg Tactical Probes is gaining zero progress, ops 35, anyone else?

[sinful socket]

They did a make up event and handed out a comp chest yesterday for that issue.

[grave quest]

it was edited. originally it listed only US servers.

[pine raft]

only Ops 40+ though?

[pastel herald]

"team is aware of the lag reports" I am sure they are, my guess is they made it a feature

[tropic crown]

FIX THE LAG! This is ridiculous with what you guys charge for stuff in this game. Bug, broken features, greed and lag all the time.

[torpid cargo]

hahah....Ok. The REWARDS suck for it anyways. Or maybe if you cant remember to recall your own miners before going to Arenas, then you got some problems too. Have fun mining

[undone igloo]

Argh the new War Room is way to easy to complete, 21 hits on a base and it is over, now unfortunately most of the Alliance who didn't participate are going to miss out on the rewards.

[finite mural]

No, all they have to do is mine some iso and dock it, or hit a station and it will let them claim the rewards.

[pastel herald]

the PR on the Buy in only event is starting to catch some fire

[tropic crown]

Scopley just doesn’t care.

[fair jolt]

No, they just have to contribute too....just have them dock some iso

[dusky onyx]

Scopely please change your name to sLAGly.

[fallow pivot]

Why is tge game lagging so badly again - Eu405

[dusky onyx]

Maybe it has something to do with that interview where they interviewed an engineer a few years ago. Basically said that he was just out of school and got hired off the street with no game programming experience.

[left flume]

Lag is karma for make terror events pay only

[old seal]

Well done Scopely 👍

any purchase, yes

[woeful rapids]

@tidal notch my ship has been stuck for five hours, I can't move my base, I've logged a ticket with support but I think it's pretty mental that it's taking this long to do something that (I assume) is a simple fix, any chance you could give support a nudge please?

[sly belfry]

Is it possible to get a count down to you have hit your hostile limit? Or increase the hostile limit? Luckily i my exo was exp after i hit my limit. Also a alternative is to remove the Wave hostile from the daily kill limit, the hostile in the wave do not give any loot should not count in the daily hostile limit.

After this limit was put into the game, there have been added several more loops that require grinding hostiles. Also as mention the wave have been added to the game. More hostile grinds, something need to be done @tidal notch . Thx for fixing this as this is a quick fix 😍

[tidal notch]

Might have some good news in the not too distant future...

[carmine yew]

HAM arena feedback still in the wrong place
Oh Btw the RED ALERT Hail is horrible. why does it not pulse on and off

[uneven valve]

Please stop calling a nouns refinery…payouts are strictly garbage. Please rename to waste your raw materials refinery. At least then you are being honest

[glacial spruce]

Cool. But what all will be broken with that good news?

[sly belfry]

Arena feedback:
Would be nice if you could make it possible to use the FC Lorca boost more than, more than 1 time during the Arena.
Not sure if 2nd repair work on the Arena. Instead of changing the repair time from 2m to something less. Make 2nd repair available for F2P. Like in a Faction Store, Event, BattlePass. If player forget to repair the ship this is a tactic you can add to the Arena.
Did not try the 5v5 arena, but for me and my alliance the 3v3 works fine. If possible, it would be nice to have the opportunity to chose if you will make a 3v3 or 5v5 squad. I see that it will reduce the number of teams available for matchup.
In my alliance the +/-7 works ok in 3v3, when it was 5v5 I was not able to get into a team when event was running. Might worked when if it had been running like the 3rd time. In my Alliance we have 1 ops 66 that cant play if it returns back to 5v5 or limited player available. We are 14 player that can make a team of 5, if he likes to play in Arena. There is 4 of us that is Ops+60, so if range of +/-7 is change or 3v3 is changed it will make it harder to participate in arena.
Regarding the time the event was running the 3rd time, it was very nice for me this time. (16:00-24:00 CET).
Would be nice to change it to 12h, with rotating between Monday and Sunday. I see the problem with less teams to match up with and you get poor match making.
To make it more fare to play, it should be, when possible, make some ship bracketing. <@&509690795536941056>

part 2As a Ops62 I sweep all ships below me off the map, if they dont use Boosts and sting. Or I try to fare play and use ship at there lvl go down to same ship as other team. But then It would be nice to get a bigger ship Hangar, so you can have more ships available. If I build more ships, I will run out of ship slots in hangar. As there is constantly being added more and more special ships to the game.
Arena is a fantastic new feature in the game, hope we can make it a positive thing for more player. I have enjoyed it a lot when i got the time to play, and got a team togeather. As im ranked no1 on our server at the moment.
We as player should also, try to make this as a positive experience for everyone. Not using our strongest ship if we play against teams that have a lower ship group than us. @tidal notch

[ionic void]

There is a bug with mines and mining speed, at least for me on 131. Before I put miner on mine it says it will for example take 8 hours to empty. I put it on, it says 9 hours. After 8 hours it shows still mining, but when I remove the miner, the mine refreshes as if it were empty.

[kind rose]

We need the ability when we sack a base to choose what resources we take

[nova sierra]

Allow all players ability to transfer to another server once after the low level transfer window. There’s simply too much abusive behavior to force players to stay on toxic servers. It’s clear Scopely uses mergers to balance servers so why not allow transfers? You can make a server list UI and depending on whether a server is needing some fill and the level of the player they can transfer to another server in their region.

[tropic crown]

Lag lag lag lag lag

[lusty leaf]

Were the lvl30+ syndicate bonuses taken away from warehouses and vaults?

[kind rampart]

It’s because how the mining rate is calculated when you have at least one of those „Gain additional Materials upon completion“ research/favors/Ability.

That research makes the node bigger then it actually is so the time to clear the node is longer. As you noticed if you remove the miner between the time it should be done and is done the mine will refresh.

Could be classified as a bug. Also not how I think the research should work. It should give an over Cargo bonus when your miner is full like on Amalgam base raiding

[silk charm]

they've always been on generators a and b, not the warehouse and vault?

At reset

[river notch]

Field training tab leads to blank screen/ cannot collect achievements

Cerritos broken cannot select as stuck in cooldown!! cannot complete event! same for Titan-A also stuck cannot activate!

I hereby declare that if the USS Terror refit is not on sale today, it is a bigger failure than arena matchmaking 😁...make it happen Hammy! @tidal notch

[cobalt kettle]

Hi
! I've never had to ask for support from Scopely, so I'm not 100% sure how to go about it, but I have a glitch in my game that I can't seem to get around with the field training. I've completed one of them and can't get it to "complete" ! Where would I reach out to get help on this?

[rough sandal]

Can someone explain to me why this is locked behind G6 materials when the ones who would benefit from it most are the ones building/upgrading a vidar & talios i.e. those that have G3 & (maybe) G4 mats

[vale wasp]

It's a prime, and available from the cash shop or f2p if you reach G6.

[somber orchid]

Probably because you can then use the extra nanoprobes from this in the refinery for extra directives, faction credits etc so you technically are purchasing a perk

[sonic grail]

<@&509690795536941056> this incursion coming up was terribly announced, 0 in game news, 0 prep events, and only 1 tiny discord announcement within a larger announcement on the 24th, PLEASE DO BETTER

@raw fiber @tidal notch Check bug reports. EU servers are all bugged

[vapid bough]

https://tenor.com/view/beam-me-up-scotty-crypto-halloween-gif-18925547

[sick egret]

I have just made 25 runs on Xindo-aquatic Enhanced Cruiser and the big weapon fired in 16 of those runs. The odds of that happening are 9.1% if the probability of firing is 30%. It is clearly not, it is much more closer to 50%, probably higher

[viscid harbor]

This is totally unacceptable. I've been asking for days when incursions would be for 706 vs 707, and gotten no response. We are listed for both Day 1 and Day 2, but the Day 2 entry appears out of place, stuck between two EU servers.
So everyone was all hyped, getting ready, informing players for our FIRST INCURSION! And nothing.
Totally unacceptable.

[finite mural]

the blog was updated

[haughty sail]

Again the warp bug, getting really friggin annoying. Send a ship, timer starts, then goes to 0s to not go anywhere, reboot the game and ship is back int he dock. HOW do you expect us to play this increasingly frustrating game? That's right, it's making us leave in droves!

[waxen tinsel]

<@&509690795536941056> Tagging this so it doesn't get lost in the bug reports about incursion: good on you guys for looking out for the players in Spain, and doing so without shutting down events for the whole EU region. It's a step in the right direction.

It would be awesome to see more targeted application of cease fire shields going forward, rather than blanketing entire North American servers with shields due to devastation in the Southern US. Localized responses would mean you could take such actions whenever they're warranted without impacting the rest of the player base.

[quick gale]

So I see the war room is open. It says it’s full but I cannot claim any rewards nor have I.

[viscid harbor]

You need to score. Go mine 1 Isogen and return to dock.

[flat swift]

mine 1 iso any grade that will unlock it for claim

[somber orchid]

Or hit a dead station

[flat swift]

@tidal notch u should also give a relocate token to those bein affected by the flooding since u r relocating their bases

[elder pollen]

Scopely, re Spain, good care for players during incursions 👍

[errant brook]

Amalgam stuck during incursions....

[ionic void]

Thanks for the explanation!

[errant brook]

scopely you need to do your job... had to restart to see the enemy in front of my base. with all the lags and glitches this is just a 💩 show - this is not acceptable. shame on you guys really

[dusty portal]

I don’t think there is a problem with gold shield blanket. People who are not affected can break shield to participate in incursions. They need to make gold shields immune to system level so Scopely doesn’t have to relocate bases.

[waxen tinsel]

If they could've targeted it, the North American servers could have had incursions last month.
Not my favorite event, but some people want them

[dusty portal]

My point is it that gold shields don’t need to be targeted. It’s the fact that the gold shield doesn’t protect someone above level 19 systems. If it did you could still run incursions. Yes it would mean you couldn’t catch someone who forgot to shield their base and was not in a natural disaster impacted location. But it would be that way for both servers, so still a fair match. It would just mean the scores would be lower bc they would have to catch people who broke their gold shield to participate and forgot to reshield.

[waxen tinsel]

They kept replacing the gold shield so often that people who broke them were still getting the new one every time they extended them.

We had an extended period of gold shields for these last 2 major hurricanes, but the players in Houston who were without power for a week earlier this summer, or who got hit by other disasters around the world like the other recent floods in Europe, didn’t get the same consideration as Florida and now Spain. Putting gold bubbles on all of the North American servers, or all of EU or APAC, for every major disaster is unsustainable. Doing it in a targeted way would allow them to do it more often and not treat some parts of the world as more deserving of consideration than others.

[flat swift]

could u guys pls fix the "join the fight" in the alliance thing im tired of seein the error while trying to view deep space cause im not lookin at deep space just the list of armadas goin on

[harsh thunder]

Incursions on Apex day... just another day of scopley being scopley.

Having those three PiC officers as rewards for anything is a stupid idea.

[north panther]

Is the War Chest broken?

[finite mural]

go smack a station, dock some iso, or steal some opc iso

[nova latch]

Is something being done about the fact that some smooth brain scheduled a surveyor battlepass and incursions on the same day?

[onyx grotto]

Did they change the brackets? Just went to lvl 40 and got a little cocky with a lvl 63 (assuming he couldn't hit me). I was wrong 🤣😭

[somber orchid]

Where you in territory , pvptarget website showing different

[finite mural]

63 can hit as low as 40, bands haven't changed, 64 hits to 41

[rigid spruce]

What genius decided to run a mining event during incursions?

[nova sierra]

Disappearing armadas becoming a normal occursnce. Started 2 FKR armadas tonight and none of them entered battle and just disappeared half way through timer, can we get a fix for that please? Happened to multiple players

[haughty sail]

Nice to get a merger quantum gift 🎁 shame it's either a single pull from it, worth 22 whole rare gas. Or it's broken with a 9 day cooldown ..?

@tidal notch sorry to bother you can you check your DMs when you have a bit free time.

[harsh thunder]

Incursions event store is terrible. PvP officers from 2 years ago.

[sand notch]

a lot on the new servers dont have the old ones - let alone the new alternatives.
they keep matching servers of different "ascension" level.
the rewards are broken, completely unbalanced pvp

[undone ginkgo]

Way to censor me scopley

[nocturne holly]

How to play "reverse" Incursion.... Go over to the other server, mine or get a full hold by killing hostiles, then find a resident of said server and offer up your ship for the kill! Rinse and repeat until you've got no tokens left. Then turn the game off until the incursion garbage is done. Continue with life 👍🖖💪

[surreal otter]

Can't get the basic game to work properly and gonna be stuck in an Incursion tomorrow... great work guys! Keep fleecing the whales though.

According to this the ticket of terror is supposed to be going on, yet no tickets to join the stuff. Either someone screwed up with dates it’s supposed to be running or forgot to give tickets either way it’s messed up.

[finite mural]

It's a paid event. They didn't forget anything. It even tells you that the tickets are from being purchased.

[tight timber]

yeah and the packs cost a fortune

Once you capture a territory you should be able to keep it safe with senteries. this is the worst incursion event ever. you have to pay and yes the old tokens dont work.. Nothing under AU$74.99 and not enough to finish a project as usual.

[obsidian gazelle]

Can a 40 hit a 23?

Ty, but I was being sarcastic. I'm wondering what loser has to punch down 15 ops. Oh, wait ....

[sinful walrus]

You might want to look closer at the logs. But even so, that the go-home gun fired 16 times out of 25 when the average would be about 8 is not extraordinary. And the chance of it firing in the next battle is still 30%

[sinful walrus]

Are there 3 or 4 different topics in that line?

[sick egret]

I took a look at all defeat reports and they all fired the go-home cannon. You say it's not extraordinary but the odds of having that kind of sequence are 0.04%. That means that if 10.000 players would now go and do 25 battles in a row, only 4 would get the same outcome as I did IF the go home cannon is 30% chance. I call that extraordinary

[sinful walrus]

yes, and it's called statistics. and the chance of it firing again next time is still 30%

[slender apex]

The daily reward for the daily tasks is not being claimed and keeps reappearing. Additionally, I have been plundered as a defender, but this is not counted in the Incursion event. Server 108 SirConnery.

[torpid kelp]

<@&509690795536941056> hy, what time do the incursions start today? i asked here a few days ago and was told about the reset. now i see here https://startrekfleetcommand.com/news/october-infinite-incursions-pairings/ that it starts 1 hour before the reset. so what's right now?

[fluid mist]

just curious why incursion feedback channel has been locked out since oct 11th whats point in a channel if no comments being posted in it rofl would also help keep stuff where it's supposed to be just sayin

[sand notch]

what is the point of a collect all when you have to collect again? can they not get anything right ? ........ this was the least requested QOL featuure yet they concentrated their dev time on it

[vale wasp]

My DM settings are set to everyone. If your settings are set to deny DMs, then you can't send them out either.

[wet burrow]

Need a cool down timer on base shields.... To many people are attacking and then spamming shield buttons to avoid being attacked. With typical game lag it's impossible to catch the 1 second window when base shields are down .

[vast plinth]

@tidal notch looking at the pairings, most are in line, then I see 31 vs 70. Who's bright idea was this?

[dense steppe]

@tidal notch Please pass along that Server 22 needs a merger with a strong server..

[tidal notch]

Can you let me know how your incursions go?

[ripe thicket]

@tidal notch my NX01 is t11 now. The returns on 100 chests pulls are (based off scopley % numbers):
Safe is 37,500unc, 33,500 rare, 20,000 epic.
Risky is 43,510 unc, 31,850 rare, 18,900 epic.

It used to be that you got, on average, more epics and rares doing risky. Now, it is flipped. Is this intentionally? Is this an oversight? What is the point in this when we need more epics and rares for the speciality chests? Can someone look into this?

[tidal notch]

Pinged ya

[hushed steeple]

Hey Scopely...little quiz for you

What are my Novas doing ?
a) They’re fighting
b) They’re dead
c) I pushed the button "repair" so they’re supposed to be repaired.
d) They’re fighting while they’re dead and supposed to be repaired for one of them

[finite mural]

gotta love the stuck in combat bug

[hushed steeple]

Worst of all, I wasn't even in combat. I just started repairing my ships 😅

[fluid mist]

Great idea with making some of the ship loops easier but putting it behind a building that needs specific mats which at first glace is yet another grind because thats how we get stuff in this game isnt quite what we meant by too many grinds just an fyi

[sacred garden]

The new patch is interesting, but I gotta say one way to help players advance is quit making primes only obtainable by buying its part of what makes the game suck.also increase what people get from refining it’s another area that makes the game suck. Especially when you mine all day getting millions in raw and then being screwed severally by the small amounts you get from refining huge amounts. Keep in mind that in such a future it’s going to be far less waist then what we have now. Another area make player vs player more fair and quit promoting bullying with your current very unfair combat system. This patch reads like a start in the right direction, but still needs far more improvements. As a pre-dominantly free to play player a more fairly based combat system would improve the odds of me actually doing PvP. At present the way PvP is it is my least favorite part of the game and least done, not because I don’t understand it but because it’s so unfairly balanced that there isn’t a chance in hell of winning against higher lvl players who buy everything.. also performance issues and glitches that rip you off need to be addressed

[heady bluff]

I mean another idea would be to do a major server upgrade. Just saying…

[fallen temple]

The concept seems good. But with 70 levels and 5 low level specialty ships, the new building appears nearly worthless to a g5 or g6 level player. At ops 63+, I guessing it will take 2 years catch up before the building becomes useful. I am still probably 2 years from the promised benefits, useful ship parts, from the eviserator fiasco

[muted shuttle]

Why do maintenance once when you can do it twice. 🤷‍♂️

[ashen sinew]

Can't warp into systems to do pass event game is unplayable atm, what the heck is going on Scopley

[dusky onyx]

Scopely your new building is ok. But realize this. You have done so much bad that players have gotten sick and tired of 💩, broken promises. You have done better in making people quit. Your attempt to attract new players will fall mostly on deaf ears. With all the negative comments over the years for people to read. The list goes on!

[calm horizon]

Scopely. You can fix a lot of problem with the game if you made it so alliances had to join a TO in order for their ships to enter a TO during a TO.

[toxic coyote]

The new building actually has me somewhat excited for the next arc! But I also know Scopely's supreme ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

[sacred garden]

Arena combat is interesting, unfortunately the gap between whales and free to play is the size of the grand cannon and the series desert, as deep as the deepest ocean trenches. Tell this is fixed PvP is nothing more then a bullying event a massacre . Due to this it’s not even fun but a major drag . As a free to play I don’t even see enough value in doing arena much for rewards suck and most times paired unfairly against whales that just slaughter you. I doubt the whales have much fun in that. Fun comes from not knowing the outcome and winning things you don’t expect to win. There is very little to no fun in knowing you’re going to massacre someone turning them into ground beaf. It’s why most enjoyable features for me are : armadas , solo armadas, mission yellow hostiles and q trials. For it’s the possibility of winning against the unknown and seeing you win against something you thought you would more likely lose against that makes it fun. Even raiding bases were your unsure of the outcome is fun. Sure wins just a little useful and not really fun at all.

[turbid pond]

This is almost HORRIBLE comp chest, I’m happy to give this back if you would like it

[subtle rivet]

Ship parts too

[rare vale]

I was just thinking the same thing. This appears to in no way do anything for upper lvl players. Beginning to wonder if they've decided to abandon making things right for existing and upper lvl players in favor of finding ways to fleece newer and low lvl players.

[coarse halo]

The AI text limiter when replying to someone is giving subliminal advice🤣

[slender monolith]

Solid advice though

[stark dust]

21 times in a row on the go home gun, seems a little much

[finite mural]

is it the go home gun or the stat check?

[rare vale]

Maybe drop down a tier on the hostiles so you don't get sent home as often?

[stark dust]

This is me a level lower. It was the go home gun all were the 1/1 rnd

[tropic crown]

So no more mission to get the Halloween event store credit?

[finite mural]

no, paid event

[swift sphinx]

At lvl 50 on the ship there are far better options for both the battleship tokens and the green loot in large numbers outside of using the old starters crutch crew.

[stark dust]

And with the few tokens I have left I will be using them. But there is something buggy about that 61 system at the moment.

[swift sphinx]

Or…. There comes a point where that crew doesn’t work because with it you aren’t going to even make it to the potential go home cannon shot on damage. Having been there done that and looked at the battlereports I’m gonna say you most likely aren’t even getting to the cannon.

System isn’t buggy, it’s just meant for when you have g6+ researches to help give the ship some extra oomph

[frail onyx]

The burning punch up Leslie crew doesn’t work on the 61/62 unless you have almost maxed nx with about 500/600m hull.
It rather recommended to hit the normal cruiser then and fill you cargo safely with 100% success rate

Needs just 3 hits to fill cargo, after that “sui.cide” on the heavy cruisers to get back faster 😅
Basically cargo is the only real problem with the nx even maxed.

[stark dust]

Sounds better than my idea. I was planning to just run through the 40 BS until I got sick of killing them. Cheers

[frail onyx]

Yeah defo that. Although you still need to run the 40s grind for the rare opportunity chips stockpiling. I hate that as well.
Btw, the nx crew might not work for you in the beginning. It requires some extra progress in general in the background.
But for me pike Moreau tucker worked decent with a t9 nx back then on the 61s (with tucker at tier 3).

[light nymph]

Time to look over the drop rates?

[glacial spruce]

The functionality of the independent archives shouldn't be needed or should be free. Reducing clicks and the amount of stuff that has to be claimed is basic game UI functionality. It's something that should either work well or it should be free as part of an update. You don't monetize that.

If I purchase a computer keyboard that the "A", "y" and "shift" keys are missing or don't work, a company doesn't charge to add those later. You fix it. Except in Scopely's case the keyboard requires you to type more words that require those keys as time goes on.

I feel like Scopely is doling out corporal punishmentl at this point. This new building is like a leather belt instead of a cricket bat. It's not as painful but it still isn't right.

[verbal skiff]

Instead of adding a new building What you need to do is add a checkbox to every item. If it’s checked and you hit claim all, it claims everything that was checked. Also, it should remember what is checked so you don’t have to re-click every box every day. This would allow players to quickly claim everything they want and make changes as needed. Otherwise, I don’t see a lot of players will find the new independent archives useful.

[muted shuttle]

Checkbox prime on its way.

[echo sable]

When are y'all gonna fix the early systems for Voyager summoning?

[timber root]

Hmmm ... so Tuesday's maintenance is the new arc's patch ? What's Monday's about <@&509690795536941056> ? In both cases, thanks for the advanced heads up, it's a step in the right direction, now if we can get those advanced heads up for events too that'd be great.

[eager wave]

Seems to be

ERROR CODE 5

something going

game lads... Can't

what though

[pastel jungle]

Seeing severe lag on Server 99, right before Incursions begin. Hooray.

[vast plinth]

DM'd you

[half nest]

Saw the recent message about upcoming new building that features support for older ships and loops. One critical piece of information of note there does not seem to be any way to get more defiant cloak shards after you build in Bajoran store. Must be a glitch, nor have seen a offer in the store for a full unlock of it either. There should be a directory of ship unlock features on whether FTP or PTP.

[kind rose]

Are all these independent archives gonna be free??

[haughty sail]

independent archives is exborg 2.0, rather than just making the current exborg loop better of course it's a new building with a new pack to make it anywhere useful

[grave wagon]

End before it begins

[red rampart]

Interim event schedule says that we should have faction hunt today. Where is it?

[silver laurel]

Add the ability to buy more than one shield in Alliance Store at once! PLEASE!

[sacred garden]

The new patch seems interesting, but doesn’t seem to offer much to players that are higher lvl and already have these ships. Since my bb is maxed that offers me nothing really in that regards same with vidar and dvor. Only ones it might actually help with is the Talios , feesha , voyager and mon ships . Most of which are maxed for my lvl . As for the rest of what it provides it doesn’t really give much of detail out side of cost buffs. Though kind of looking forward to it though with mixed feelings. Mixed feelings for being one who has been playing since launch I’ve seen and experienced many that sounded good but failed in there delivery

[lilac oar]

Dear Scopley, Please try to figure out ho to make appropriate matches for incursions. It's either totally one sided for one way or the other. Never a clean battle. ITs crazy. Its the same with Arena. It makes no sense to even participate.

[sacred garden]

So no explanation to why there is going to be a second maintenance next week, the it goes to figure since that’s the way it winds up being multiple maintenance instead of of just one. lol

[iron oyster]

good to know, thanks

[azure moth]

I don't know about anyone else, but I would love to see improved sourcing on past officers like Jayla and Trip Tucker. Currently, Tucker is available but is much more difficult to get than say Archer or T'Pring.

[limpid stirrup]

In season 3 of enterprise there was a clip where the NX-01 had a shield, it would be very good if scopely could upgrade the NX so it can be more useful.

[clever snow]

Last half or even year was for 40+ players. So this nice for lower players and shoud be. I'm on 41 and must do both what take looooong time.

[glacial spruce]

Probably because they know something will break with the first maintenance. This way when the game falls on its face they can tell us not to worry, it'll be "fixed" tomorrow.

[quick coral]

@tidal notch G4 Terran efficiency favor does not give stated discount

I mean, please... correct me if I am wrong, but, doesn't 1600 X 0.5 = 800? Not 1066?

[vale wasp]

You're using a cost reduction formula. The favor is a cost efficiency bonus so you'll need to use the formula for that.

CostFinal = CostBase(1/(1+bonus))
CostFinal = 1600(1/1.5) = 1066

[quick coral]

sigh fair, but still misleading and frustrating that it makes it appear on the surface as one thing and then is different because wordsmithing.

[supple bane]

The independent archive missed the mark on what players are talking about... How about making a one click claim button that players can set once manually for the items they would like to claim in the factions tabs daily.. I spend a good 45minutes each day claiming my refinery tabs and the faction tabs... If you can make that less time consuming that would a major step in the game... Before it wasn't so bad, but you made these claim one a time and it is mind numbingly slow now...

[junior sierra]

if we cant "select" / opt in on the actual individual claims we want in -> the claim all is dead out of the gate......... many of the claims i have zero interest in.......

[supple bane]

Which is why I said... Let us set the claims manually.. From there on out it just claims when when you hit claim all

[junior sierra]

I'm +1, upvoting - agree with you 100%

[limber mesa]

once you master a ship, there is no reason not to claim all.
it's not like you will be wasting currency, you will claim max redeems on everything for free.
yes you will end up with a bunch of hijacked ship blueprints and radioactive materials, but they cost you nothing extra. they just sit there in your inventory, likely on top of the remnants you still have from when the materials were relevant.

[red cliff]

The defiant for example has been over a year and prolly another year before I'll get it maxed despite full claims everyday. Some of these ships take ages and ages to "master". No point I'm waiting till then for QOL

[limber mesa]

i haven't seen anywhere that mastery would require max level/tier of the ship.

[red cliff]

The new system as described isn't that flexible as I imagine it works. Like for defiant, where I need to spend credits for the material and parts claim. With a check system I can choose how much I'll spend my credits. The new system doesn't sound like I have any control over it. So does that mean I'll still have to manually claim? Same goes for augment...How do I control how many of the augment officer chests will be pulled? I'll have to see how it works. But a general check mark for all things you want to claim will be soooo much more convenient. Heck if they just remove the "screen change for loot award" that requires loading to click out of, that would actually cut the time I waste by Like 75%. There's a ridiculous amount of clicking and loading and going back

[silver laurel]

Our arena ranking leaderboard now has players from the server we had incursions with. <@&509690795536941056> Can we get this corrected?

[lilac oar]

I don't mind losing or winning in a well balanced fight. But much too often its totally unbalanced. We were up against level 70 players who paid to get there. I suggest you make a tag for p2p teams and F2p teams and try to balance things that way. IT may work out more even.

[gusty fractal]

The only way to get points in this event is raiding stations: it seems your server has forgotten to use shield.

[raw river]

They would have to have everything have the same timers then. Some stuff is 24 hours, some 22 hours, some is at midnight reset, some at noon reset

[supple bane]

I would skip a days worth of collections to get them all the same....

Really...

[still glacier]

First time on. Looking for any family members with ggc

[still glacier]

How do you complete past missions like the art of misdirection

[lost cedar]

Well in that logic u can get most of the things for free like mats efficiency 😂or the g3 favor in that teran store

[sacred garden]

Have very little issue on incursions that’s basically a free for all server on server at least that one I can pick my targets. Were arena is just so unfair matching i barely every try to do anything there and the rewards I find suck

[boreal ferry]

actually the problem is the rewards don’t suck, the favours are really really good but the terrible matchups and the ease with which you lose rank mean just engaging with arena can remove your access to said awesome favours

[sick egret]

Yeah, the chance of the go home cannon is defo not 30%. More likely 50%. And even then, a 21 streak is highly unlikely

[pale garnet]

yet another scopely biased corruption, that every maintenance is always during e.u. playing time, never u.s.

[copper viper]

Funnily enough it seems that older servers have a disadvantage as more higher ops = more possible loot 😄
We always lose against lower ones, but scopely matches us up against older and newer, so no prob

[outer ice]

Funny enough, I believe maintenance is at this time because it's the start of the day (9am) where Digit (the actual developer of the game) is, in Ireland. So for once I don't believe it is U.S. bias 🙂

[boreal flame]

So Today is maintenance and tomorrow as well, so today you patch things to destroy them tomorrow again...clever 😄

[woeful rapids]

I sincerely hope the double maintenance is to fix the absolute mountain of bugs

[dire rose]

You might as well just click each button, or you are doing more work!! click tick boc then click all? or just click the ones you want!

[boreal flame]

as many timees showed us, no 😄

[odd prawn]

Any news on what this maintenance is for today? assuming the arc starts tomorrow and that's what the maintenance is for tomorrow. Why are Scopely so bad at planning that they needed 2 maintenance sessions rather than 1?

[glass rampart]

It should be over in three hours hopefully at 3am when all the beast comes out

[tropic crown]

Fix the game already, I cleared this over and over and over again but the red ! keep coming back. Hello there is nothing for me to do there now!

[tight timber]

just one question how is the independent archive going to reduce the farming when you have to get materials and blueprints to upgrade the building???? so those will be free?? We still have to buy the other ships to be used in there. More farming more cash?

[merry tiger]

The "Help All" button is stuck in a loop??

[maiden gate]

I will be interested to see how it is supposed to do that too... if it's like the Freebooters loop, where it added 1 grind to replace 4 ... then I'm all for it

[limber mesa]

not even a grind.
you have a track for every ship that is part of this.
with each track you can over time unlock milestones, kinda like syndicate xp, that will boost that ship's performance in its loop.
once you hit the final milestone, you get the equivalent of a 24 hour chest that contains every reward you could get daily from the loop, without having to do any part of the loop.

[robust knoll]

No, tracks pretty close to 30% over a large sample size. I’m on the light side of that. 21-kill streak would be tough, but I’ve had a 13, so 🤷‍♂️

[maiden gate]

The point is, I was responding to @tight timber who was questioning HOW this could reduce farming/grinds. And all I said was , though we won't know till it rolls out, BUT if it DOES reduce grinds like Freebooters did ... it will be a GOOD thing.

[sick egret]

I had a 25 run with 9 victories. The odds that the chance is 30% is 4 in 10.000

[robust knoll]

That’s not how probability works.

[sick egret]

You can calculate the odds of a biased coin by doing N tosses and registering the outcome. Then you can make a statistical analysis to check if a certain Hypothisis is within a certain significance. I did the math.

[red cliff]

scopely's RNG algorithm is just horrid. it may be 30% over a very large sample size but i've noticed many times when its extremely streaky.

[robust knoll]

No, you can’t make that determination with such a small sample size. If you think the coin is biased, fine. Get a sample size of 1000 then determine what probability you’re looking at. THEN present your findings to others who have similarly large sample sizes and see what their findings are. If we approach combined sample sizes of 10k, 100k, etc and we don’t see ~30%, you’ll have a better support for your idea that the coin is weighted. Just bc the probability of a string of outcomes is small, it doesn’t mean it won’t happen. In fact, the larger the sample size, the higher the probability of seeing that outcome. Across all STFC players, your outcome (and the other guy’s) are effectively guaranteed to happen.
So yes, you’re doing some math in the sense that you’re adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. You’re still doing the probability side of it wrong. Or rather, you’re ignoring rule #1 of probability: representative sample sizes.

[sick egret]

Ok, I'll give you that my sample is too small, it should be bigger. But it's not irrelevant and the process is correct. And you don't need 100k to make such an assessment.

[robust knoll]

No sample size is irrelevant. They’re just not statistically significant. As for whether we need 100k, have to determine what the sample size is representing. For 150k attempts. 100k would be too big. For 2M, it would be good. And good process or not, when the starting point is flawed, the results are similarly flawed.
@red cliff While I don’t really trust Scopely to program anything properly, streaky-ness can just as easily be a sign of a good algorithm as a bad one. If anything, the absence of streaks would be a strong sign that it wasn’t a good RNG algorithm, bc it would be sign of a finger on the scale, preventing “true” randomness. Streaks absolutely happen. Bettors have known that for thousands of years. The only way to make a determination is a large-enough sample. Many of us have been at this for a year (?) and have been keeping an eye on the %. ~2-1 W-L tracks.

[copper viper]

Bug or feature? 😂😂

[white ivy]

good matchmaking here scopley

[cosmic anvil]

Great to see that they once more „listened to our feedback“ 🤣 They‘ll only improve match making, if we ignore event till fixed

[obtuse granite]

Fair to say, we got smashed

[glossy trellis]

Nice Job scopely…very fair matching

[queen knoll]

it's nonsense

[clever orbit]

bring back 5v5 arena, it's more fun

[crimson elm]

End arena event game is more fun without it

[rugged osprey]

love this matchmaking too 😄

My squad level limit is 40-49... But I encounter enemy squad creator 50... All fine 🤣 👍

[swift steppe]

small ongoing lag throughout gameplay

[rugged osprey]

Hope we'll get compensation chest about this biased matchmaking 😄

[crimson elm]

Thats not going to happen. Match making should be within 2 ops ranges no more no less

[restive geyser]

7 more days went by and again nothing happened at the arena. that is a very good achievement

[safe jackal]

Is there any way I can see exactly how many faction credits I have, other than "1m"?

[rugged osprey]

"inventory" -> "other"

[safe jackal]

This also only shows "1m"

[plucky mirage]

Question, was the maintenance that was performed earlier intended to increase lag?

[heady wraith]

If so, it worked

[rugged osprey]

It's a new feature

[livid spear]

Scopely, this is BS at its finest. We are not even trying.

[ruby pagoda]

Twice in the last month and a half I have logged into a complete reset after ‘maintenance’. Please add a skip tutorial button if you are going to force log out players with maintenance. This is such an annoying thing that shouldn’t need to be.

[merry tiger]

In faction hunt, recruitment tokens are not registered, jeez scopely, get it together pls🙏

Seriously Scopely........are we a joke to you????

[warped valve]

imagine you are trying to do awful arena matches and your ship is constantly stuck in warp. then you restart and all ships are randomly docked

[chilly shoal]

Imagine have such bad lag your ship makes it to the zone but then can't attack a single ship.....

And you starts an arena even when you had 2 ships in token space 🤦

[livid spear]

Trying to stay positive but come on. We had barely 1.5bil ships against 10,5bil cubes and g6 rares. Fix this matchmaking.

https://tenor.com/view/work-life-im-done-no-more-screw-this-gif-16867052

really doesnt make sense. lost the 10th match, i just dont know how i can get matched against ops 70 as highest player with 61 D:

Christ on a bike, when the H are you going to move the stupid home button.
Arena, waves, PvP and more are just messed up because of the stupid home button position.
I’m sure these people don’t even play their own game other wise they would realise just how stupid it is.

[spring epoch]

NOT!

They really should fix it or no one will enter that arena ever again.

[quick coral]

Arena matchmaking at its finest.

@tidal notch

[primal nacelle]

would you guys put some artifacts in the Temporal Restoration section that we can actually use without having your artifact building at level 38 please!

[pine galleon]

They obviously don’t care. They don’t even respond to this feedback

[ripe thicket]

Why did you change the points on win/lose. I get 250 on a win and neg 125 on a lose. It was not as bad last Monday. And the matchmaking is just as bad as ever. Let's pit 5* epics vs 6* epics!

[vital junco]

This thread doesn't need another matchmaking is dreadful post so how about this instead.

I'm done with this whole feature. And maybe even the entire game tbh...

And DJ can shove "avoidance and tactics" can win, because no, no they can't

[unreal sierra]

I would highly suggest a complete reorg of the company and lay off all management

[primal nacelle]

Arena suggestion. make where other players can watch. spectator ability

[real seal]

Can there be a notification for the arena when all players are ready to start

[copper viper]

Can be close

[tame sphinx]

Well, Scopely, your arguments that I should stop spending on this game have finally gotten through.
The incompetence displayed in the arenas have finally reached "intolerable"
I am going to pop a nice long shield and decide whether to quit the game for good.
I don't need any more stupidity in my life and whoever is making the decisions is stupid to an astounding degree.

[junior sierra]

too much reliance on other players [ which is kinda cool - i get it ] with zero [ excluding ac ] com channels. try asking if everyone if ready, giving them a start time and they still dont show [ or get booted / or have to restart ] then imagine what it does to your arena ranking when its just you against 3. None of that is in your control. I still think the rewards are not in sync with time required.

[torpid kelp]

<@&509690795536941056> hy,since you can't get the matchmaking to work after weeks, how about having a computer team (which automatically attacks) fight against teams that is adapted to the power of your own team, then the whining will stop.

[tidal notch]

That's interesting. It could help with the matchmaking, but dunno if it would be as much fun...?

[torpid kelp]

i think it's more fun than playing 5 games in a row against lvl70 players and getting beaten up, who wants to get beaten up after a hard day's work? alternatively you could do it as a 1 vs 1. level vs level.

[steel dragon]

The idea is great, but the desperately need to tighten the matchmaking, and drop this stupid “FEED THE WHALES” policy 💩
( come on Scamley, I cleaned up my post)

I have been a faithful supporter of this game for some time, buying the $20 battlepass, but no more. Not until the fix the stupid PvP matchmaking and this lag issue that causes me to restart the game ever5-10 minutes

[junior sierra]

ham, its not fun waiting hours to get a group together already. not to mention what you can scap from the rewards during the week. Its going to die off for sure. juice not worth the squeeze. Need more rewards for less effort, matches. also - i might add. this forces more people in a dying game into active alliances. and only having a few active alliances also kills the game - open it up like waves. ive been waiting 30 min with 2/3 [ thats not fun no matter how you think about it ]

[pine galleon]

This whole feature has killed off people from our server. We have one alliance of 8 whales but that’s it. Everyone else has left

[junior sierra]

top rep is what 341 days of pulls? come on man....

[tidal notch]

Yup. Matchmaking is the number one peice of feedback I'm taking back to the team.

[junior sierra]

I know the move from 3 to 5 players helped - but ive been waiting 40 min for a group in a BIG alliance. Fact is, I'm here and ready to play and I cant. so unlike other events, I get no rewards 🤷‍♂️ so im sitting here - not mining - not hostile grinding, just waiting. I need 8,400 credits for triple pulls or 3 wins for single pulls all week. Since i am reliant on others, it's not a great mechanic to hang your hat on [ i love the favors and want to play! ]

[silver laurel]

I think matchmaking needs to be limited to +/- 3 ops levels of the average ops of each team. That would make it much more competitive and fun. Team of 46 + 52 + 53 (average of 50.3)... against 56 + 59 + 62 (average of 59) is ridiculous

[mossy harbor]

<@&509690795536941056> Please for the love of god add a concede button to the arenas if you are going to have a system that creates such unbalanced matches!!!

[junior sierra]

they good news is you only need to sit through 6 of those for single pulls for the week!

[cosmic knoll]

just stop participating until xmas, they will drop arena or fix it, probably drop it

[sacred garden]

Have no idea what the 4am Monday maintenance was supposed to do , but clearly it did absolutely nothing at all still having all the exact same issues

[pine galleon]

And <@&509690795536941056> … number one feedback.. it’s been weeks. Going to 3 player teams we awful as well.

It’s such a bad part of the game right now. How is this not one of the main issues being worked on and communicated to the player base

[warm cape]

Can anyone point me to the chart of arena engineering efficencies? I saw it this morning but now i dont recall where I seen it.. thanks

[tidal notch]

Ehhhh... not sure there's a consensus that 3v3 is worse than 5v5. Heard peeps in favor of both. Maybe 4v4?

[pine galleon]

No it’s the consensus. My entire server hates the 3v3… and entire server… I mean the only remaining people left after every e else rage quit. Also nothing on the what are they doing about it and it’s been weeks

[tropic crown]

According to Scopley I am sure they never been more players.

[junior sierra]

update: 66 min for a full group

[fleet crow]

How about a forfeit button at the least in the meantime while they work on matchmaking. It'd be great if we could just back out of some of these match-ups

[leaden junco]

The fact is, it's a simple fix but can you honestly tell us they are legitimately working on a way to fix matchmaking?

The fact is @tidal notch we give feedback because we care about the game and enjoy playing and like I've said before and other players have signed on, arena has the potential to be really good, but now that we are on the 4th week of this matchmaking issue and we have no word on if it is even being addressed, it's just hard to take this game seriously when clearly the developers aren't.

[pine galleon]

Again <@&509690795536941056> just ignores the actual questions and feedbacks.

Only response is “I’m bringing back the matchmaking feedback”

Three weeks later …. My server is dead and this is the help we get from scopely…

Don’t worry a new building with a new resource is coming though

[leaden junco]

Wait, your entire server left because of this?

[junior sierra]

exactly - not to mention we get rewards and refinery unlocks based on matchmaking - Out of 4 matches I have had one that was apples to apples. [ they were still bigger, we won ] 2 of the other 3 are above. but my refinery faction store is tied to this?

[pine galleon]

We lost many players because of this. Right now we have one real alliance with 8 whales. Everyone else just stopped signing in

[junior sierra]

they have effectively killed all "normal" competition. just look at mining monday - g4 25 points, g5 55 points , g6 850 points, [ not to mention the whip ] or all the primes. Everything is scaled for whale wins. I've been in 2 mergers and hopefully ready for a third. Normal players and grinders are getting pushed out. [ when i say normal im a steadfast all bp buyer - if they cant live of that they are doing something wrong ]

[leaden junco]

@tidal notch if the matchmaking issue is causing this kind of disdain, it needs to be the teams #1 priority and there really is no excuse. I've tried to stay positive in light of everything going on, but you now have a report of an entire server stopping their sign ins, this effects Scopelys bottom line. Are they really so stupid that they don't see this? At this point, it literally cannot be that they don't care, because an entire server is on the fritz, and I'm sure there are more that mirror this.

I'm going to go-ahead and say this: We, your players, DEMAND an update on this by end of day tomorrow. This of course is no official capacity, but if enough players sign on this, then we might get somewhere. We demand an update on matching and if one isn't provided, it truly will prove incompetence.

[icy patio]

i think we should doom scroll the channels with garbage pics, i don't think they can read

[tidal notch]

Please don't do that. Spamming is against the server rules.

[icy patio]

yall spam me with bugs

[tidal notch]

Oh jeepers.

[icy patio]

A Booo meme…
That’s what your response it to a legitimate concern?
<@&509690795536941056> ..

That’s rude and shows how little you think of the players

[icy patio]

i literally loose 50-70% of my clicks after i make them because of the kirshara, i can't see some systems after half the updates, ships loose icons randomly, clients have to be restarted 5-10x a day just to do basic grinding, ships get stuck in docks just as much, ships blink around systems instead of moving, some of these issue continuous for HUNDREDS of days in a row, and your concern is garbage can pics... I've paid more for this game than most do for their first car... boooooooo indeed

[icy patio]

with someone like you as my advocate to scopely I can see why things get resolved so quickly around here

[jolly marsh]

Wow talk about unfair match ups! How do you do your math?

[carmine yew]

His total power on the matchup screen does not compute with that ship's power, what did he do? Place a ECS Fortunate on every dock before matchmaking to keep his power down 🫣

[jolly marsh]

Shouldn't matter it's based on ops lvl. A 60 Shouldn't be in an arena battle started by a 45.

[icy patio]

the starter level matters for matchup (45 vs 53) unless i was lied too 🙂

[carmine yew]

Oh I know, You are preaching to the choir bud just like everyone else in #💣-arena-feedback . The problem is no one is listening to us 😢

[jaunty prism]

You need to fire whoever balanced the NSEA and then fire whoever hired them. WTF is this. Why is an ops 45 able to have an 80 MILLION power NSEA, and why does it have so much higher impulse than a speed crewed talios? This isn't even the fastest NSEA I've seen. It's like somebody said "The Talios wasn't a good enough broken PVP speed ship" and then the NSEA was born.

[vast nest]

It was made to be fast for the mirror systems wut

[last tide]

also the power is kind of over inflated. It has super high defense, and super high defense isnt the best. an 80mil nsea is in practice more along the lines of an ~40-45mil ship.

[carmine yew]

Mine at ops 42 and I don't have the best impulse speed officers yet

[jaunty prism]

And I'd love all my grinding ships to have 400 impulse but they don't because that would be stupid. And it is stupid.
And @last tide then why does a speed crewed 80mil NSEA kill PVP crewed ships well into the 40mil range without any trouble?

[vast nest]

It's called power and feature creep. Get used to it

[jaunty prism]

Oh I know... It's just ridiculous for Scopely to try and turn STFC into an Arena PVP game with this level of ridiculous power creep and imbalance.

[fallow wasp]

Give us Jaylah for swarm Sunday events instead of Maria and Kahn both who I have maxed out months ago.

[icy patio]

and lag, it barely functions pve

[tidal notch]

Apologies. No offense intended. I was referring to your statement that feedback is ignored. That's not accurate.

We made changes to matchmaking after the first run and we'll continue to iterate in the future. We're not ignoring feedback.

[jolly marsh]

What changes. Its the same as before. Matches are way off!

[jaunty prism]

Your changes made it worse. Every single match since 3v3 has been a totally lopsided stomp.

[vast nest]

So do you have any comment about the tons of feedback about 8 hour time limit or day of the week?

[tidal notch]

Dunno about that. Some folks like 3v3 others want 5v5.

[carmine yew]

Meanwhile, nothing has changed since that first and only change. There have been zero updates on improvements and more and more people are stopping taking part. This means less and less players and possibilities for even matchmaking. Soon the arena scene will be fully dead

[icy patio]

I just want to flip a coin and it be over, 7+ minutes isn't worth it when 99% of them are known/decided the moment the matchmaking is over. phone based slot machines are more entertaining, even when we're winning. A surrender button would be well received and save everyone's time.

[tidal notch]

Agreed. I think that we should continue to make updates that help. But to say that all feedback is ignored is inaccurate.

[jaunty prism]

Regardless of what people think they want, 3v3 has been a complete dumpster fire in reality.

I'm also not really sure you can say with a straight face that you want to improve things when we all know STFC is not and never has been about having balanced PVP and yet you keep trying to make competitive PVP happen. If you want competitive PVP, you're gonna have to actually balance the PVP first.

[tidal notch]

What do think about 4v4?

[icy patio]

the number of people doesn't matter when one person on the other team is 5x (or more) the combined power of your team (in total), it needs to be less about ops level and more about actual meaningful stats. and if you can't get enough players in at the same time to balance things fairly, introduce handicaps or buffs

[vast nest]

4v4 doesn't help if one person has G6 ships and the other team has G4 ships. At least that how it seems looking in from the outside while waiting for more than 8 hour run on a Monday

[carmine yew]

It may not be ignored but when there is no statements the community feel ignored. like your message will disapear up the list and most people will not see it when they log in tomorrow. although this channels stupid slowmo mode allowing 1 post every 5 minutes might keep it lower. 🫣

There has been some decent conversations in #💣-arena-feedback (even though its still in the wrong section) and a deep read in that channel is worth some time

[dense rose]

@tidal notch It's a shame that our Arena experience is SO dependent on matchmaking. When the match is competitive, the feature is one of the best in the game, but when it's a blow out (either way really), it's one of the worst.

[winged burrow]

My alliance member, ops 49, started an arena squad. Ops 53 and ops 56 (me) joined the squad. The game matched us with an ops 60 squad. I refused to play. This is complete bs. The game tried to force me in. We should be able to refuse the match, especially when the squads are completely wrong.

[jaunty prism]

I don't know, it might be a little better? You're always going to be struggling to balance being able to get enough players and having large enough teams that it's not super easily cheesed. Right now the current autowin meta is 2 low level players and 1 high level 1, and if you don't have that you lose. There's nothing that three 43-44 players can do against a pair of 40s and a 48 with a 450 impulse ship that can kill everything they send as soon as it warps in. 4v4 might change that but probably it would just become the same thing... 3 lowbies and a high player wins.

The problem (assuming you're actually in good faith trying to turn this game into a balanced, competitive PVP game and not just a cash cow fueled by rage spending) is that you've jumped straight into the deep end on the highest difficulty setting in terms of trying to balance a PVP game... You have premade teams, which always made balance harder even in well-balanced games with a mature meta. You have variable power levels of players with a ridiculous number of variables to account for. There's a very limited engagement window and player power can change dramatically between those windows, which means that it will take a long time to properly sort players into ranks even in an ideal situation. Add in the fact that somebody's power level can effectively double week to week and it's a virtual impossibility for even a good matchmaking algorithm to properly balance this out.

Toss in the fact that STFC's interface is incredibly slow and imprecise for a competitive PVP game, the fact that we know it's ridiculously and deliberately p2w, and it's going to be probably the most difficult matchmaking challenge ever attempted in competitive PVP.

[tidal notch]

Yup. I also think it's one of the best features we've introduced in a while but based on what I'm hearing matchmaking is something that should be adjusted. I still think Arena has a lot of potential.

[stark lintel]

@tidal notch Matchmaking certainly needs tweaking still but there needs to be a larger timeframe for matches. It’s half over before I get home from work. 😆
Also, please kindly ask the art team to do a better job distinguishing the ranks. Bronze/gold are too similar and silver/platinum are too similar.

[winged burrow]

I rebooted 4 times and still can't get out of this arena. How do inget out??

And that terrible match allowed scopely to take a large chunk of my points for ranking. Really nice job scopely

[carmine yew]

It's not hard to make matchmaking fair...
Match Leaders Ops levels- it's then down to the leader if they want to not add someone to their team at max range of +/- 7 levels
Don't allow Ops 70 to form groups so they join someone in the -7 range or cap the Highest Grade ships allowed to be launched in the arena's
Also, Scale the Arena Emblems rewards for higher ops players since they find it harder to be matched. The aim is to gain 8,400 Arena Emblems per session. That's 9 wins or 21 losses with the current rewards
Arena Rating should not be a factor at all! Unless Arena was made seasonal and once you pick your team you are hard-locked to playing with that same team. It's not feasible as you will Alienate most of your alliance, so arena rating means nothing and should never be a factor.

[fossil frigate]

I strongly disagree, this feature is worst y'all done in a long time. Worst than war room's first launch. Week 4 and already feels completely ignored by most people in my alliance

[jaunty prism]

Genuinely curious, have you ever personally played a competitive PVP game?

[uneven karma]

Oh I'd love to hear the answer to this one

[junior sierra]

I'd also like to see some consideration to rewards [ time involved ] and the faction store. no G6 efficiency until gold? is that right? [ who knows what the other progression will be tied 2 - guess we will find out. is it just more of the rich get richer? certainly feels like it... why cant we see how much premium dust we get? what was the timeline you guys thought about for reaching max rep for "normal" players?

[jaunty prism]

Not like anyone's going to have the rare credits needed anytime soon anyway... I got the required rank for G4 efficiency but at this rate it'll take like 2 months to get the credits.

[junior sierra]

I'm about to go to G5 but i can afford rank 1 after max participation over 3 weeks [ whoops i'm wrong. i can afford g4, g5 is twice the cost, not even the 99$ pack of uncommon credits has enough for lvl 1. ] and thats not getting any hull or shield buffs 🤷‍♂️ . the scopley way. give us access to good stuff but make it take years or an amex to progress. the cost/reward/effort is not on par with other games, its flat out carrot dangling.....

[elder pollen]

Wow we had dailies in sync with main events for one whole day! Now they’re overcorrected the other way, an hour early🕛🕚🕙🕘🕗

[tepid bramble]

This is absolutely BS. And proof positive that they have no clue how their game works. I have absentee scored on both events and the TC just by having my ships there prior to and then recalling them hours later when I logged back on.

Seriously, that canned response is beyond pathetic at this point. 🤨

[weary igloo]

Really could use a tweak on the matchmaking. Oh, and the 10 second idle requirement for armadas isn’t working on arena armadas. I saw multiple people start armadas with speed crewed ships, run across the system, wait there for the timer to tick down and get back with 1-2 seconds left and still kill the armada. Oh, and you can’t hit them on the way back to the armada because it says their armada is about to start…🤦🏻‍♂️

[fallen temple]

Take a look at the event feedback thread. There are numerous screenshots of totally unbalanced matches. Only an incompetent could have programmed the system to allow such nonsense.

[vale wasp]

Send a DM, posting support convos on this discord isn't allowed.

[steady harbor]

To whom?

[vale wasp]

To one of the CMs, Hamster or Simpauly.

[warped glacier]

How about not doing maintenance on Asia-Pacific servers during Asia-Pacific peak period?

[tawny pawn]

That isn't going to fix the matchmaking - in the short team it will jsut make it worse.

[timber root]

Gotta say, the auto speed-up button is a step in the good direction for QoL

[dense prawn]

here comes AAAALLLLL of that qualintity!

[odd prawn]

Chaos tech 🤦‍♀️ why not just re-work forbidden tech a bit?

Also adding a grind to make a grind less grindy? You're also missing ships like the Stella, Franklin, Disco and the lat miner these are painful grinds

[cosmic anvil]

Issue is not 3v3, which is easier to form a group and should facilitate proper matchmaking compared with more players/more complexity.

Issue no. 1 being the most critical: matchmaking is too broad +/- 7 means huge ships to compete with and having no chance and demotivating most players in my alliance (that is usually pretty pvp friendly).

Issue no. 2: lag makes joining, pvp or armadas often impossible. In an event where speed matters, that makes it unplayable at times

Issue no. 3: in gen, rewards are pretty poor (linked to matchmaking issues —> you never reach top levels for good rewards unless you bought the pvp packs in store) and for the losers, it‘s abysmal, offering no incentive to participate at all.

Issue no. 4 (minor): lead time into arena and exiting is way too long. No need have such long countdowns, just waste of time.

Fix these basics and I agree that it has real potential

[grave quest]

it’s one of the best ideas they’ve had, and one of the worst executions of all time. Sadly, it’s not easy to have a “balanced” pvp feature in a fundamentally unbalanced game.

[sick prism]

Maybe make it like Waves:

That it doesn’t need a fixed number of players before you can start a match, but make it a choice.

As in, you can start your side/team with either 1, or upto 5 players, just whatever makes you feel ‘ready’ for it.
The opposing team doesn’t need to have the exact same number of players as your team is having then; just a ‘general’ matchup of overall power or something would be just fine, and at players own risk/preferences.

[lethal bridge]

Your Arena System doesn‘t work …
I started a Arena yesterday …

My team:

• me lvl 61 … ranking points below 300
• first teammate lvl 62 … ranking points 2000+
• second teammate lvl 65 ranking points 4000+

Opposing team

• lvl 56
• lvl 59
• lvl 62

Question:

• How should they win against us?
• where is matchmaking here?
• why can teammates play together with such big cap in ranking points?
• fairness?

Some questions are easily to answer:

1. problem:
   team consists only players from the same alliance
   -> not enough player with the same lvl and ranking

This leads to the 2. problem:

• in order to get enough players for a team from an alliance, you made the level range very large
• this also applies to the matchmaking -> lvl 5x vs lvl 6x ….

And if you solve that issues you have not enough players, unless you remove the restriction that players can only from a team from the same alliance

After that you must change your matchmaking system: it must set two teams against each other with approximately the same strength:

• prime researches
• artifacts
• forbidden tech
• building levels
• officers
• ship levels
• normal research
• and others

At the moment it is like that:

• the stronger team: kills NPCs … do Armadas and win
• the weaker team: wait till the arena is over and join the next and hope to be the stronger

Or in other words … it is bashing the lower players … nothing else.

No fair PvP.

PS: and you add again new things that the PvP system is much more unbalanced

[cosmic knoll]

so 1 of 5 ships loop reduction 'free' ... eg 4 paywalled?

[kind rampart]

What Rank was the opposing team? There are some problems with matchmaking but if the oppsing team had a high rank then they seemed stronger then they are.

Matchmaking involves 3 things if i remember right. Ops, Rank and something else. Each to a third. So if you have a high rank you get viewed as someone stronger. For example an ops53 in Bronze IV is an ops53 in the matchmaking but an if that ops53 is in Gold II the matchmaking views him as an ops59 or so. Thats at least how i understood it.

There are way to win against stronger teams. I had a team of a 56, 52 and me being 63. We were up against a team of all 60+ with one being 66. We beat them quite easy. We had more similar matches and they were closer but we won most.

Next problem is how would you separate them? Just the difference between a G5 Rare and a G5 Epic is too much for most to overcome. Not saying its not possible but rough.

FT sure can be game breaking but how could you realistically divide it. Some speific ops players already have problems finding matches.
Primes is a interesting topic. The Hullbreach prime is a pvp one which is game breaking but the Damage reduction one in Combat tree is only a minor inconvenience.

The game is just not big enough to support such fine matchmaking to split by primes, FTs, Officers or ship levels.

And Serverwide is another problem. Identification of enemy players and friendly players in the arena? Both are blue. Friendly fire?

[cosmic knoll]

the only way to fix the pvp arena is to not participate. then whales will complain they cant get matches and scopely will then finally do what they should of done the first time (uncouple alliance restriction).

scopely dont give a hoot about anyone not in the special vip channel

[lethal bridge]

Very easy to solve the Problem:

Split the PVE and PvP Systems

The easiest way is to deactivate all researches (normal, primes), forbidden and chaos techs and artifacts in the arena.

But that will never come because Scopely don’t want fair PvP …. They want that we buy … buy … buy

So you can fix some points with that
in the PvP system:

• deactivate all primes
• match only players with approximately same
  • level/rank
  • officers
  • ships strength
  • forbidden AND chaos tech (see patchnotes)
  • research
  • artifacts
• teams can be created only from the same server
• no restrictions to alliance only

With that you can create bigger teams and a bigger arena.perhaps with that changes you can fight with a little bit of fun

[timber root]

The -/+ 7 ops level requirement is only for putting the team together, it's not used in the matchmaking. The only way to fix the matchmaking is by basing it on the team's biggest ship, i.e. : rare g5 against rare g5, unc g6 against unc g6, epic g4 against epic g4, etc, etc

[kind rampart]

i am not opposed to some of the changes. But i doubt scopely or any other company could seperate matchmaking by those components. I think making matchmaking with ops, rank and starter ops for example is one of the fairest way to do matchmaking while also having it possible to find matches.

The playersbase is just not big enough and making it server wide has problems. Identification and Friendly fire being the main ones. Also from a game play perspective i dont like Server wide cause you can match against your own server. We fought an alliance from our Server yesterday and it was a lot of fun. Which could create another problem making it server wide when you end up against your own server and have an alliance mate in the opposing team.

I doubt neither does Scopely have the tech or the ability to make the changes to have it server wide.

And turning of Primes, research, FT/CT and so on in arena would make everyone furious. Regardless whether you spend money or time to get those things. You wanted/got them cause they gave you an advantage so taking them away just would make people mad

[lethal bridge]

Why should be server wide created teams a problem …

I play arenas in other games fully random in one match player A is a teammate and in the next match he/she is an opponent.. where is the problem?

And actually it is so, that two teams from the same server fight against each other in the arena and it works.

[odd prawn]

@tidal notch @raw fiber question guys...when you finished one of the pillars in the new building and the store is closed. Does the daily claim include boosts from any purchased primes?

[kind rampart]

Ok. In Waves they deactivated PvP for everyone. So you made it for the server. Its only shooting reds, deactivated PvP so nothing else to do there.

In Arena PvP is a prominent feature. We can shoot reds and the opposing team. If we now got people on our Side that arent in our alliance (which we cant shoot by default) then we are able to kill them (friendly fire). So scopely would need to come up with the tech for this game to not make your own team untargetable without making the enemy untargetable.

then you have the problem blue triangle on your side, blue on the opponent. So which is which. Making it like Incursions could be kinda solution but it works maybe 50% of the time so not really a solution

[kind star]

New PvP-officers. For a broken PvP-system. Because of greed and incompetence. One word for both: Scopely! One reason more to ignore PvP …

[cosmic knoll]

So hilarious that after the fail of pvp related content the entire year, they trying to push even more ... dont forget we have 3 months of this, this month is moral, next breach, then expect the burn team in jan .... and yet 0 news on fixing arena ... because it wont make them money

[lethal bridge]

You forgot the new chaos tech 😂😂😂😂😂

[split harbor]

Hey scopely, I've heard all last month that vindicator was only way to sources fleet command lorca and that free to play path to unlocking vindicator would be coming in November. Don't see that in patch notes! Hope you start adding that very soon or anyone who listens to the community contributor talk about that all last month might be very upset.

[modern cypress]

So to translate:

The new building to reduce daily grind requires grinding to upgrade to reduce the daily grind.

Yep, wonderful!

[trail ivy]

Maintenance 2 days in a row messing up day shifts play time is messed up for ppl talking about quality of life in the game

[red cliff]

3 days in a row for APAC! In prime evening hours too

[tropic crown]

Very scopley.

[wise tide]

Absolutely would have potential in a fair and balanced landscape. Thanks to the insane amount of overpowered p2w FT and PvP buffs and brackets you’ll never be able to get the matchmaking fair. It’s a great feature completely ruined before it even starts thanks to greed

[modern cypress]

So basically like any new feature added! 😂

At least they are consistent in that and adding bugs, oops I'm sorry, I meant 'undocumented features' 🤣

[wise tide]

Pretty much, yeah. They’re full of great ideas that we’ve spoon fed them but the execution is near on impossible thanks to the damage they’ve already done. They milked it so much that the ‘undo’ option would be too complex

[carmine yew]

Looking at the responses this morning, clearly a lot do not understand
https://tenor.com/view/30rock-tracy-morgan-tracy-jordan-banter-smile-gif-4418421

[swift steppe]

I guess the unofficial us status page is crashed?

[woven jay]

and you think it would be hard to change colors and pvp flags why?

[wild hearth]

so much for 3hr maintenance window

[lavish dagger]

Extended by 30 minutes

[kind rampart]

Look at Scopely track record. They cant do such things. Arena is just old tech mixed together.

Incursions in small scale on a different server.
Normal PvP and PvE mechanics.
Keeping it in one alliance per side meaning no extra coding to work with pvp flags/colors.

The only "new" tech is matchmaking which i assume they used in a similar way for our Incursions matchups to decide which server fights which

[marble vigil]

they knew it was coming 2 days in a row and actually made an effort on the 1st day but reverted back to form for the 2nd maint as per usual

[signal anvil]

So an extra 30 minutes of maintenance. Thanking us for our understanding!🤦🏻 As if we have a choice if we want to continue to play the game. So any guesses on how broke this arc will be?

[wild hearth]

nice of them to bother to tell us earlier that it would be extended. it's not like you don't know you need more time until the advertised window has already closed

[marble vigil]

but they need this 30 minutes to make sure they can add enough new bugs to live up to their standards, i mean if they ran test servers that would not happen but they seem to abhor the thought of such things as test servers or customer welfare

[muted shuttle]

Chaos tech, hopefully we can buy the stuff needed to swap them about. As everyone loves fusion rods🙄

[odd prawn]

They're helping to reduce screen time by keeping the game offline rather than just fixing the grinds without making us grind for them

[noble needle]

They upgraded from excel to Google sheets to keep track of the database. Unfortunately the interns skipped the first row when they copied it all over so they have to go back and fix it.

[civic haven]

Reading the bug fixes…I’m not certain you understand the definition of “bug.” Lag is a bug, the 00:00 stuck in warp issue is a bug. “Mis-costings” is not a word or a bug.

[fluid mist]

I have to wonder if they know what less content is. Don't get me wrong i like some of what is coming out I'm sure all of us can admit there is some positives everytime they release stuff. The thing is do we constantly need new hostiles new grinds new loot new mechanics new ships new buildings new primes new officers every arc no we dont need that. Either way scopley never pays attention to the masses just the player's they wish to pay attention to so guess I'll do what i can and as for new grind I'll do what i normally do try it out fail and have to wait 4 months before i can do it

[marble vigil]

@fluid mist they are stupid enough to think they know what the players want more so than the players also it allows them add bugs at just the right time for them like say an event where it can make you break out your credit card to get back in the race, btw what was that credit card number again?

[azure falcon]

Can’t complain about lag if you can’t login 🤣

[wild hearth]

5 minutes til the next "maintenance extended" notice!

[hoary lynx]

Scopely: I know what will fix* PvP, MOAR PvP officers!

*whales only

[marble vigil]

store is open though , you can tell they fancy your cc for sure

[fluid mist]

lol oh they have mastered the bait and switch tactic with grinds and "special" events involving those new grinds for sure. Though i dont think they're getting as much purchases as they could be but ya they definitely dont listen to majority its minority they listen to just like a lot of the world does imo. Either way enjoy the lolz cause i know I do every month rofl

[civic haven]

And I’m not sure the new help function will be helpful. For example, I like to hold a certain number of speedups in reserve and spend latinum instead when I have a surplus of latinum. I hope that feature can be turned off like hailing frequencies.

[boreal flame]

30min are over game still not online

[azure falcon]

Yeah I have ZERO desire to force MY inventory to be used unless I choose to. I’m f2p anymore and have zero desire to deal with that crap… I’ll just quit if that’s it an “opt-in” feature

[marble vigil]

@boreal flame thats a Scopely 30 minutes, they tell time different than the average person

[wild hearth]

force quit and restart worked for me

[odd prawn]

It's 30mins increase on base scopely productivity levels, which, when it procs has the ability for upto 2000% time increase per round of maintenance

[boreal flame]

did it 12 time no running game on windows or android

[kindred siren]

@ SCOPLEY I really like your smart speed up functionality. Finally something really useful that saves the amount of clicks and time.

[keen loom]

It amazes me what is defined as quality of life improvements. Really it should be called standards of misery - and plainly called out as a way to monetize old and forgotten content.

[marble vigil]

already that extra 30 -plus minutes has paid dividends for scopely , the 1st new bug is trying to get refinery to work right, awesome stuff scopely, why bother to hit claim all when it will only dole the stuff out 1 at a time?

[leaden junco]

<@&509690795536941056> @tidal notch URGENT BUG!
After the update, anything in refinery related to the Talios is unable to be pulled..Inert Nanos cannot be bought from.exborg either

[marble vigil]

@leaden junco now you know why they need the 30 extra minutes lol

[ionic void]

Laggy mess at the moment, i hear more team mates about that. Every box I open takes like 10 seconds to open.

I like the quality of life improvements though.

[gentle grail]

🥳

[leaden junco]

Lol. 'Let's mess with Shocks Tally. That'll be fun.' Ughhhh. A lot of lag. I do also like the quality of life thing BUT FIX MY TALLY CLAIMS!

[fallow pivot]

Here we go again game won't log in properly- just keeps 'adjusting' EU405

[cosmic knoll]

hahahaha, locking the 💩 ship behind pvp arena ... which noone likes to participate in...

hahahaha. didnt sell, wont be unlocked f2p either. id say lessons will be learned, but its scopely we talking about... chance of lesson learned is same as game improving.

[marble vigil]

@fallow pivot bet u can get right in the store though and spend as much as u like, u may not get the product but scopely will love you all the same if you do

[molten shell]

claim all buttons making me click "done" for every item in the buket is not a QoL improvement

[gritty turtle]

Since update, hostile kills for "hunt the Fed/Klingons/Roms" are not counting...
At least not for Klingons, the other two I had finished yesterday already.

[fallow pivot]

@marble vigil Of course 😂

[devout ermine]

@raw fiber, the videos button does not go away after clicking it on PC client. The screws with alliance helps on a whole new level. How do these bugs even get introduced?

[atomic rune]

Is reducing clicks = to removing them all together? Like the Borg refinery? A+ can’t refine anything for a Talios or vidar

[rough belfry]

Well this is just painful. Requiring UC credits and not just making it a free daily claim is terrible

[marble vigil]

@devout ermine much like how they use the flashing banners on overkill to cover up far more pertinent information you want to track they do this ti impede the player as much as they can in what they consider a sly fashion no doubt

[kindred sphinx]

That's only 72,000 rare exborg credits. You didn't want any of that research anyway. 🤣

[nocturne prawn]

That's impressive, you even have all the dailies that count the same kills, on different counts !

[hollow root]

a little doubt about this "intelligent acceleration"
ok it proposed what to use.... but why does it hen tell me that the proposed acceleration cannot be used? 🥶

[vale wasp]

There is a scoring lag issue right now that's affecting dailies, events, and the video button. I'd give it a few to clear up.

[vale wasp]

That message usually shows up when there's a sync issue with the client, not surprising with scoring lag right now.

[rough belfry]

It's UC Terran credits, not XB.

Looks like I'll be passing in this ship for the foreseeable future.

[plain dock]

<@&509690795536941056> Several players (including me) are reporting missing collect buttons in Borg Refinery. If it matters, the it’s affecting at least higher Ops, maybe all.

[odd prawn]

This should have been a toggle who you want to claim for not an all or none job

[cosmic flame]

Can we talk about how absolutely busted this thing is? Who at Scopely thought this was a good idea? This is pure whale bait and should have never been considered an addition to the game.

[devout ermine]

What did you expect? They need to invalidate all your research once in a while. Screw over players is the name of the game.

[dire rose]

You know form a marketing point this is a lie its never been a SALE, it should just say store so your no misleading players, even black Friday is not a sale 😅

[wet meteor]

Thsnk you for the Faction "Daily Goals" toggle! Nice QoL addition

[cosmic flame]

This is what happens when the only feedback they care about, is the feedback from the players in the VIP whale discord.

Every month, it seems like they just keep adding more and more to convince the average player to just quit. I'm honestly getting close to the end here. It's harder and harder to think of a reason to keep playing this game. Constant new Primes, specialty ships that suck, but are needed to realistically do new content (think NSEA and MU content), paywalled events, and the list goes on and on... What's the point in even playing, unless you're willing to drop a mortgage payment on this game every month? ...and then have it all invalidated the next month anyways?

[forest zealot]

Just too bad they didn't think far enough to toggle factions individually yet.

[south cedar]

Great, it's not patch day, it's STFC bug day.

[sonic valve]

Putting the vindicator bps behind the unc loot amd not thr common will make this acquisition ridiculously long. Bad scopley

[dire rose]

You mean typical $copley

[leaden junco]

In addition to the Talio claim bug I reported, I'm also getting reports from my players that Texas class hostiles are not dropping chests

[sonic valve]

If we were going to buy it with $. We would've done so.

[devout ermine]

At least they are extremely consistent with failed arc launches.

[hazy dagger]

Think I've noticed this too
Not just Texas hostiles I think I'm missing chest from MU too

[sick egret]

We need a way into the older content that is still behind a paywall (eg ferengi whip). Due to the runaway nature of the game, the paywalled content keeps adding up and is creating an ever increasing gap in the game balance

[tropic crown]

The claim all sound DOA. I am never going to use it as it will waste currency on stuff I don’t want or need.

[vale wasp]

You're in luck, it doesn't consume fuel.

[quick gale]

Why is my Klingon mission not a killing on mission. No wonder I’m stuck with a lack of ksg datapads….

[vast summit]

I can’t play at all. Downloading game update is stuck at 61% - social authentication!

[wicked olive]

<@&509690795536941056> new update, new bugs... great work!!! what about quality instead of quantity ? but what do you care about your promise from last year.

[tropic crown]

They said they COULD do better they didn’t say they would do better. The year of quality was a joke on the players.

[forest zealot]

So... when is the free Archive unlock pack supposed to be released?

[swift steppe]

I LOVE the smartspeedup!💯

[nocturne prawn]

pushing the Vindictor through in the PvP Area store is just bonkers, yes lets stick the Armada ship behind PvP because that's definitly the same groups of players that do both those all the time.. Not

[fluid mist]

i told people in my alliance they were gonna do that. That you were gonna have to be x rank with x mats before you can claim not just bottom tier rank but i got laughed at for my conspiracy theory who's laughing now

[somber orchid]

You do armadas in there do you not

[nocturne prawn]

Yes, so those who like PvP and Armadas have it, and those who PvP but dont like Armadas .. have it .. those who dont like Pv)P but do Armadas .. dont have it .. you see the great glaring flaw in the cross over there !"?

[nova sierra]

On a positive note 👇Than you Scopley

[tropic crown]

Does every update have to have a new currency/resource? It ridiculous how many different ones there are. Let’s just keep culturing up the game with them until it requires a government super computer to track/run.

[vast nest]

<@&509690795536941056> why is the Vindicator locked behind the Terran faction? I appreciate the f2p path, but many of us do not even have the option to partake in the Arena combat so how exactly are we supposed to get this ship? Arena combat needs to be moved to the weekend or the time window expanded so everyone can participate or the Vindicator should be moved to another f2p path doesn't require being online during an 8 hour window on a common work day

[rare vale]

Thank you so much for putting the free path in the faction store linked to a broken feature many don't even want to bother with. Nice attempt to get me to participate in the arena, but I'm gonna continue to pass on that until matchmaking is fair and balanced.

[muted sparrow]

Chest redeem button gone. Video button won't disappear. Yes I updated game

[keen loom]

Matchmaking won’t ever work as intended. So consider that f2p vindicator path - a standard of misery improvement. #megawin

Just remember - all the improvements are okay because macaroni and cheese comes in a box.

[tropic crown]

https://tenor.com/view/hamster-run-wheel-cute-gif-6563316932530407873

Scopley idea of game improvements. An people wonder why I still at ops 35 and not killing myself or bankrupting myself to advance. 😂

[gilded escarp]

Oh look… another pay to win forbidden tech like thing for PvP… just what they needed to balance the game. And I love the lack of bug fixes in this patch, it’s like they don’t know the game itself is still broken.

[tropic crown]

Yeah updates should be a good thing but in STFC they just cause frustration. Each update is when I think, is this the one I quit the game at?

[devout ermine]

@raw fiber speaking of less clicks. When's this getting solved?

[tropic crown]

Oh thats a bug here at Scopley we don’t fix those, we just add new stuff. #quality.

[carmine yew]

Max rank of both of these on the same ship? Come on now Scopley
Why would PVP Items even be in Chaos Tech

[rotund rapids]

I'm quick to complain when Scopely gets it wrong, so it's only fair to praise them when they get it right - QoL improvements (smart speedup, mission organization) are 🔥

[pine galleon]

It’s funny… this push from scopely on PVP to appease the whales will only work so long as everyone who isn’t a whale continues to play.

At some point you will have the relatively small group of whales playing each other and everyone else will leaves then the game dies.

Scopely and <@&509690795536941056> are so tone deaf

[ornate oracle]

Please add claim all button to away teams and remove the negative faction rep from the daily claims

[tropic crown]

The away teams would be sweet.

[round sapphire]

Smart speed up best thing ever 👍 👍😂

[grizzled cove]

No Helps for anyone today. The Videos button won't go away now.

[grave quest]

<@&509690795536941056> the video button is no longer disappearing for some / most users.

[odd prawn]

The videos button needs removing or the ability to toggle in game videos off. Theyre not useful videos, they aren't special help videos theyre just patch / update videos! link them in news and get rid of the button @raw fiber @tidal notch

Now can't send helps without going into the alliance page to send them!

[livid spear]

Can't semd helps the alliance quick now. Video button in the way

[swift steppe]

Above even after restart

[opal smelt]

Erm... how do we access forbidden tech on ships? The button has disappeared.

[rare vale]

Yes, those are awesome... sadly, so far they are the only updates that I like.

[weary tiger]

Forcing ayers to sign into YouTube so you have to watch the videos from Scopely is just wrong.

[abstract scaffold]

WTF is up with the videos thing, I don't want to watch them but they are getting in the way of helping my alliance

[pliant wadi]

You can use the alliance page to get to help in the short term for the video issue. Annoying, but a work around for now

[pastel herald]

https://tenor.com/view/you-suck-stewie-griffin-trash-garbage-gif-16690146

[weary tiger]

It's not a work around. It is Scopely forcing players to use other apps just to play the full game.

[nova sierra]

Less clicks? You have to go through alliance button, help, then click. 😅

[versed kraken]

Hey scopely please get rid of the in game video button. Its blocking the helps.

[molten shell]

Where’s that help button? Can’t clear the videos icon.

[pliant wadi]

How so? The alliance page is in the game, not outside of it. I get this bug is frustrating, but at least present honest facts, not hyperbolic lies.

[tawny pawn]

and its fixed by a restart

[sinful walrus]

aye, I prefer parabolic lies. Those ones come back on you

[odd prawn]

I think you just got lucky...

[pliant wadi]

generally restarting brings that button back, so I can see why folks wouldn't consider that. It did fix the bug, though. Confirmed on my account and a couple alliance members.

[rare vale]

I like the new speedup and mission improvements. Still waiting for the following QoL improvements:

1)Excess artifacts autoconverting to fragments (like how excess crew shards do)
2) Sliders of faction tokens
3) Increased # of donations of alliance donations
4) Icon on systems with unclaimed missions
5) Trade in for useless items such as past arc store currency, ship BPs that are of now use, etc.
6) quick travel in MU (select the sytem you want to go to and it makes you pay the total rift cost to go straight to that system)
7) complete overhaul of the user interface. Too many things in the way. There are many easy ways to clean this up and still make things accessible.

[cunning ledge]

the smart speed up is awesome!!!!!

[abstract scaffold]

Restarted, videos went away. After a few minutes they came back

[echo sable]

click on Alliance button bottom left to access ally helps. its a workaround for now at least

[dusky sky]

Seriously the video thing needs to freaking stop nobody freaking wants it we know where your YouTube is. What is this nonsense

[wintry pulsar]

☹️ WTH scopely. I watched all the videos, but the stupid icon is still there sitting on top of the alliance help

[pliant wadi]

I get why the feature exists, but yeah it's annoying that it comes up so often.

[crude snow]

I'm thinking compensation gifts for all

[sacred garden]

The code is not working

[burnt magnet]

It comes back again, and again, and again.

[rare tendon]

"Use Code: “QSurprise” starting 30min after Event Reset. Code will be live for 7 days, and is available for Ops 10-70."

[woeful rapids]

read the news post man

[abstract scaffold]

Alternatively, everyone go to YouTube and put negative feedback on the videos. That'll make them wake up

[tawny pawn]

Not come back for me - guess thats my luck for the day gone.

[odd prawn]

Wanna put that maintenance tomorrow message out now Scoeply....we all know its going to happen

[jaunty fog]

Move this, I don't want your vids anyway so wish I could turn this off anyway.

[cunning oriole]

So we now have an additional videos button disaster

[feral spruce]

Please for the love of everybody can Scopely stop putting their videos onto the game - we can see them on Discord, no need to put them in game when there's too many bugs and so much lag .... i can't help my alliance.... enough with the videos

[sacred garden]

Can we please get rid of these stupid pips for videos and these video icons by the chest they are annoying and not needed

[burnt magnet]

Patience, it will be back. This is Scopely, when they mess up they want everyone to know about it and be annoyed.

[past trout]

Can. Not see the helps for alliance as video click won’t go away even after watching videos

[hybrid ingot]

loving the QoL changes this arc scopes, now stick the landing with the rest aswell😜

[slender halo]

The video prompt won't go away, requring you to go into Alliance page to send helps...

[fallen wasp]

I don't need your videos. I need my help notifier

[dawn flame]

make it go away pls

[dense basalt]

Get the videos out of the game. Buggers everything up

[pliant wadi]

would be awesome if a CM or mod could send an everyone @ to let folks know they are aware, and how to access for the time being.

[jaunty fog]

They would have to really care to do that

[burnt magnet]

They are currently debating whether it will be a $49 pack or a $99 pack to remove the video icon.

[fleet rune]

Instead of spending time on creating worthless video's, they should use that time to fix the annoying bugs.

[midnight plaza]

Also the claim button has to be clicked twice now on PC version to access window.

[cosmic knoll]

meanwhile at scopely HQ https://media1.giphy.com/media/WRQiZ1rkueNh0Dw1mQ/giphy.gif?cid=6c09b9522ieol89nf2ydtpma51duisj402h0p53p3rxtg404&ep=v1_gifs_search&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g

[fossil halo]

had that issue for awhile thats nothing new

[final plinth]

you can access helps through the alliance button

[feral spruce]

How typical is it that there's a Unity event first up in the Battle Pass?? How utterly Scopely 😆😆😆

[vestal grotto]

Can we please make it where the Video button disappears and the Help button comes back and a notification on the alliance section when help needs attention? Thank you very much.

[cunning oriole]

Personally I feel that Help should always have priority to be displayed

[leaden junco]

They fixed the Borg refinery. I see, but Video button is still a pain

[odd prawn]

Unity event when the help button is covered by the video buttons....Scopely really do have a sense of humour!

[rare vale]

There is so much on the UI i don't want, lol

[peak scarab]

I don't want to complain. But if Scopely tested the new stuff before it was installed, we could save ourselves a lot of complaints.
Isn't software testing and validation standard at Scopely? Send me the application documents urgently😂

[honest flicker]

I agree. After all, isn't that what the base message board structure is for?

[river plume]

NO they don't have a sense of humour. They just suck at software

[honest flicker]

It appears somebody forgot to turn on the coupon code

[pliant wadi]

I don't believe anyone would do the CM job who didn't care.

[abstract scaffold]

Everyone, just go to the YouTube videos and vote them down. Let's see how they like that

[burnt magnet]

They did test it and it passed. They added really nice but extremely rare free QoL improvements. Their internal memos dictate that there must be something extremely annoying at the same time.

[weary tiger]

Scopely forcing players to log into another app

[limber oriole]

May i add Permanently please

[hoary lynx]

The sourcing for the Vindicator is absolute garbage. NOTHING like this should be tied to arena rank

[burnt magnet]

Yep, dump the ridiculous Mission Key event. It is nothing but annoying as well.

[cosmic valve]

Wtg , 2 maintenances in 2 days , extend 1 for 30 minutes and still loaded with bugs like : video button stuck even after watching them , help button covered by it and no way of getting rid of it

[torpid kelp]

<@&509690795536941056> stop with your bugs. can't send alliance help because of the video button. on 2 days 3 hours each + today 30 min update and we have more bugs than before. gz you have to get that right first. it's just annoying

[fossil halo]

you can still do help via opening alliance window...

[cosmic valve]

We know , its annoying still , fix the game before shoving something new in ?

[slender halo]

Isn't the new building supposed to reduce the number of clicks. now sending helps is more clicks...

[signal anvil]

Scopely can you release anything without screwing other things up? Please don’t try blowing smoke up our backsides while you created another dumpster fire.

[jaunty fog]

The worst part is, there are some great OoL updates, but something so simple and annoying makes all of it not worth it.

[hushed ferry]

New hostiles suppose to be this tough? My newton T6 55m power can only kill a few of 42 explorers. Ent E pic/data and rare beverely. Hugh below deck

[north panther]

I can’t get rid of the 6 videos….

[tropic crown]

<@&509690795536941056> Please stop with all the red (!). They are all over the place and keep coming back after getting cleared. I would love to have a way to turn them off. An we get it you have video please I don’t need you to keeping telling me that!

[rough belfry]

While I don't necessarily. Ind having more customizable equipment for my ships, this is just lazy. Scopely couldn't be bother to come up with new names for things? Just slap "Chaos" in place in Forbidden Tech?

[river plume]

Love the suggestion to vote down all their videos on Youtube. Back to back maintenance and an update and they still screwed it up. This is getting to the point of absurdity. We need millions of negative Youtube votes. Send them a message.

[fossil halo]

that wont help we need to hit them where it hurts in the wallet and boycott the game

[north panther]

I’m getting ready to quit the game anyway, been wanting to for a while now. I just don’t have 10 hours a day to complete everything that used to only take an hour or two each day.

[kindred lotus]

Nah. Vote down indicates an engagement from YT perspective. Better just ignore it.

[north panther]

Plus, I’ve had two CM’s reach out to me and still I haven’t gotten the invite, it’s been 5 months now…. Tired of waiting….

[cosmic knoll]

invite to what? vip?

[bold marlin]

Ah yes, another build, another point release and another opportunity for $scopley to demonstrate just how utterly incompetent they are with the policy of not testing software before release.

It’s the fact that the video icon on the PC, iOS and Android are all permanent and you have to go into alliance to check for help requests that make this one special.

How inept can you be to have it fail on three different formats. That’s just spectacular. 🤣

[forest zealot]

Well, were you able to BUILD the Archive yet? Because i have yet to get the proposed gift to unlock it.

[hoary lynx]

lol they’re really mad I don’t watch them

[sudden karma]

ok, drop this stupid video button - i don't care enough about yer vids to have to bring up 5 youtube tabs! frankly, that's just bs! i have something else going on my browser, i don't want youtube crappola.

[livid thunder]

Nice loot

[hot smelt]

Can we get rid of the video button? It’s covering the help button and it won’t go away.

[sacred garden]

Thank you scopley for this bad idea of adding video clips to the in game bit, thanx to this icon I’m forced to go into alliance tab just to give my alliance help because this stupid icon prevents even seeing that there is alliance members in need of help, bravo for the worst freaken idea in history of ideas

[north panther]

https://tenor.com/view/jon-stewart-eat-eating-popcorn-watching-gif-3094746547306242594

[desert sun]

Did anyone mention tge video button bug ? It keeps blocking the Help - button ( why its placed on it on the first place is still a mystery(

[heady cedar]

this is cool

[forest zealot]

Not so loud! The peasants might notice and revolt! 🤪

[jaunty fog]

Are you suggesting they can math in the first place? 😄

[sacred garden]

So the code is still not working

[nova sierra]

I cleared localization and then I was able to get rid of the videos button.

[north panther]

It’s a conspiracy to make you buy packs, Jonny.

[hot ermine]

What in the world. Video button not going away so I can do my unity event... Darn it

[oak lava]

I just donated to alliance and completed it with that

[edgy blade]

Der Video Button geht nicht weg, so kann man seinen Mitgliedern keine Hilfe senden. Außerdem interessiert die wenigsten eine sprachliche Vergewaltigung mit englischen Videos. Macht die Videos in Zukunft mehrsprachig und gebt den lästigen Button an eine andere Stelle.

[woeful rapids]

I think @everyone should be a lot more vocal about this than they're currently being, we're getting absolutely railroaded here 😅

[prime socket]

Smart speed up is good. “Great” would have been including the final free 5 minute in it as well, so there isn’t a need for another button press. <@&509690795536941056>

[zinc terrace]

Hahahahahahahahahahaha unity BP event and we can’t see the help button normally. Hahahahahahahahahaha. Way to highlight a new bug

[vale wasp]

All the old bp data is on stfc.space's events section.

[drifting comet]

<@&509690795536941056> What an absolutely disgusting battlepass. As a lower ops player (who does NOT want to level up), I have absolutely NO reason to buy this battlepass. The event currency only provides resources. No officer shards. This is beyond stupid and the worst battlepass I've seen in a year at least.

[quartz ingot]

the inconsistency in arranging the Events is crazy, one arc Scopley group them together, in another Arc they spread them, last Arc organization was great, why rolling it back to previous not organized status <@&509690795536941056> @native hazel

[rich elm]

Any chance you can STOP adding refineries ? It is getting too time consuming to go through all

[vale wasp]

The event currency replaces the rss/mats nodes. The other stuff is still there. The new system gives you agency in choosing the rss/mats you want.

[coarse sundial]

can we have one rafiney claim all or that to hard of a job for socpey to work out

[carmine yew]

<@&509690795536941056> You appear to have forgotten the additional officer shards from Milestone 2 - 6 - 12 of the elite battle pass

[proven hound]

<@&509690795536941056> can you please get this adjusted this month?

[crimson elm]

Scopely new feature forced video clips

[nova sierra]

And now it's back and clearing localization isn't making it go away. What the hell Scopely?

[compact isle]

Clear localization, now News icon pops up, click it and Videos icon returns and can't get rid of it.

[rich elm]

gotta get those youtube views monetization somehow 🙂

[jaunty fog]

If I wanted to watch their vids I would give them a sub, but I have them on the do not recommend list. don't want them forced down my throat in game as well.

[elfin swan]

Smart speed-up is not very smart, it suggested using 1x 3hr, 1x 1hr, 1x30min, 1x 15min, 1x 10min and 1x 1min for finishing a 5hr ship construction....I have 25k 30min speed ups to use and 6.5m latinum

[bold marlin]

Just tried that. It didn’t work on iOS or android. Will continue to try.

[errant zinc]

It's broken....... Imagine that!!!!

[vast summit]

I still can’t load game since updating - stuck at 61% - social authentication

[tropic crown]

We get it you have video plz stop with the alerts.

[fallow widget]

it does largest first. at some point, it'll recommend a stack of 30min speedups

[pale garnet]

did not think battlepass could have a worse side too them, but this event takes it all to a far new low ever, not worthy of any pilot on any server

[jaunty fog]

The F2P path for the vindicator is stupid as well, 200 days? need 2520 uc credits per week...want it in 10 days? That will be 6720 per week. how much time do we have to spend in arenas to get that?

[kindred lotus]

🎉 smart speed-up button 🎉

[merry timber]

scopely your completely ruining this game. now no mats in the bp and we completely depend on that so you screwed over a lot of players. wtg scopely keep pushing players away with lol. from what i seen the number of players are way down and its because of your greed!

[fallow widget]

why was franklin/frank-a skipped?

[forest zealot]

Probably the same reason they skipped Mantis

[mint falcon]

Sorry don't have video recording available. The list UI "bounce" that occurs when just opening a mission section should be gotten rid of. (animation occurs between these two list display states)

[errant zinc]

Maybe just make the videos go away in-game?? It's annoying. They're good enough where they're placed on the STFC homepage.

[native adder]

Thank you so much, Scopely - much appreciated!! 🥳

[forest zealot]

Splitting them by faction would have been even better in my opinion

[crimson elm]

Simple answer is they dont want players to be playing the game, they want the game to be unplayable

[jaunty prism]

Because those are the ones people actually want to skip lmao

[sinful grotto]

The video icon is not disappearing even after clicking it and is hiding the Allaince help especially when you have a Unity BP event running. Pls fix ASAP.

[hollow plover]

my expectations were low, but wow i haven't encountered any new bug so far 😅

[bright flicker]

So new archive building does nothing for an ops 49. Tracks are locked behind building level and ship level, ship level is locked behind ops, and ops is locked behind armada control center. The new building does not source rare acc parts so it literally does nothing for progression. On top of that those loops were handled by the XB faction store, I never engaged with them anyway.

[crimson elm]

Scopley just for once listen to the community and stop making a mess in the game.......just fix it.....for the LOVE of Star Trek prove you are actually fans of Trek and fix the Game so it feels more like TREK

[sullen matrix]

Making the Botany Bay claims free, then suddenly require a limited currency is kinda evil for quick fingers like me. Wasted the credits on the Vidar stuff -.-

[jaunty prism]

My productive feedback: BB Bonus Data is nice, but BB already mined insanely fast. You go OPC really quickly and have to do the annoying recall, send, juke dance every node now. Increased PC would synergize nicely with the bonus data and make it feel like you ACTUALLY want us to spend less time screwing around with this loop. Allowing BB to not be attacked by chasers in those systems would also be a nice bonus if you don't want to increase PC.

[proven hound]

Not correct mats have been replaced with choice awards which can be exchanged for mats. And for me I don’t need any Chrystal related mats, pain is on gas and pre so I’d profit from that

[grave parcel]

on the topic of the video button, how about putting it someplace else that doesn't already regularly have a button in it? i don't remember how cramped the screen is on mobile, but i bet there's room for it somewhere else. there's definitely room to move it on pc

[fluid sonnet]

where to find it =?

[rare tendon]

bb cost is free anyway

[forest zealot]

an easy solution would have been to put the video button where the vault button is, i have yet to see the vault open when a video is put out

[sacred garden]

How you supposed to unlock this new💩. I’ve updated I’ve upgraded building for it and upgraded archive yet I see none of these chaos tech anywhere to get

[sullen matrix]

thats what i said.
But the rest is not, so you click your way through the BB, then start with the next and notice it costs currency to unlock .. you just wasted currency on something thats irrelevant

They made it appear like field training or Syndicate XP, where everything is free to collect after unlocking it, just to add a currency requirement with the second option

[crimson elm]

Thing I dont like is this here after you master. I already have the bps for those ships, I wont be building 2 of each of them I can not scrap them. if you make them scrapable THEN this reward makes sense

[somber orchid]

One I think is in bp event and sure I’ve seen two in the store

[rare tendon]

@sullen matrix was mentioned only bb is free...sorry
@crimson elm you dont need to build them

[jaunty fog]

The Terran faction store

[fluid sonnet]

wow for uncommon shards =? really 😅

[proven hound]

Arena is horrible and no fun at all. Unless matchmaking is been fixed it’s dead

[lost cedar]

@raw fiber not sure who decides those ridiculous price but thats a very high price i as someone who in rank 10 in whole apac arena can barely do double pull for vendicator ship bps not sure how those 20k people Below me going to get it the price need to be reduced for vendicator bps 🙏

[junior sierra]

just when all you pvp'ers and arena players thought you were at the top of your game! because Tantalus field just isnt enough anymore!

[rich elm]

I have not and will not participate in Arena until they balance PvP, so I guess that's a ship I'm not getting.

[fluid sonnet]

And dont forget that behind there, fc Lorca is hidden in "F2P" (Vindicator Raffinery) and he needs 250 days by max pulls every day... ridiculous

[jaunty fog]

No it should be in a different store with better sourcing for the loot needed.

[somber orchid]

Half that I think with the prime

[crimson elm]

Then thats not F2P, not that it is to begin with

[lost cedar]

Not f2p then lol and i Agreed because even 360 for 1 bp is too much people need 6 months to get the ship even more so for lorca

[dusty portal]

Put the refinery button back at the end, not the new archives button please

[midnight jolt]

I use Apples IOS but i didnt find the update nothing in the Shop i can restart the Game nothing happen who can help me?

[hardy cloak]

id hate to give this feedback but can we cut this bull**** of needing an unlimited amount of buildings to upgrade for the OPs? im at 24 and just tried to upgrade to 25, i needed to waste days of leftover tokens to upgrade the Hangars for no reason, the nthe dilithium vault to 23 (it needs 24!) a and suddenly i need the tritanium vault also at 24 wich takes another few days whats the sense in having to upgrqade every single building in this game 5-6 times taking WEEKS just up have to upgrade a single OPs level? atleast you could make some ways tp get a lot of speedup tokens or reduce the amount of buildings required, OPs goes to 40+ how am i supposed to do that if just 1 OPs building takes 3-4 weeks with the time of building required?

[rare tendon]

Find it in store and update manually

[storm oracle]

Who's still mining data?

[woeful rapids]

oh my sweet summer child, it only gets worse from here on out

[jaunty fog]

I tested it and the math didn't math. It told me 4 minutes for a 60k node with generic mining crew, landed on node, 15 minutes 😄

[scarlet quail]

Just wanted to say I love the new look of missions and the “divider” 😊😊😊

[tropic crown]

Get rid of the not stop video notifications so I can do helps with out jumping screens.

[crimson elm]

https://tenor.com/view/help-me-emotional-meme-whastapp-gif-20742704

[north panther]

The data timer reduced the time to get 60k data from the node, the boost means for example in 12 minutes on a 60k data node I can now mine 180k on a single trip. I still mine data to trade for outlaw shards.

[haughty sail]

once you max the track when the building is the right level, you get 130K a day from it so no more mining needed then 🙂

[wicked olive]

<@&509690795536941056> what about a maintenance every day for 3 hours ??? perhaps you can fix the bugs then and put more quality into the game.

[pseudo wadi]

So what's a new maintenance everyday with nothing getting fixed. What's the point? All maintenance must end till the fix everything they broke from day 1. Otherwise your just lying.

[torpid cargo]

Because that content is dead and it is very unlikely that scopley will go back and update that piece. Swarms were fun and usefull 3 years ago....now....not so much.

[feral spruce]

Please please please do NOT bring back the videos into the game
Not required, waste of game space, if we want them, we'll find them on Discord

[blissful oracle]

With the smart speed-ups, I've noticed it onlly uses the ones you already have, instead of buying more with latinum. I'm Ops50 so most of my speedups are 100+ days, and its trying to use the last of my 5 and 1 minute timers. Is there any way to buy a shed load of 1 day speedups so it cna use them?

[modern compass]

Personally I'd be OK with the videos never coming back.

[fringe stirrup]

So you introduce the new building saying that one of its objectives is to reduce grinds. At the same time, you add a new "chaos tech" that requires items dropped by new hostiles that we need to grind (adding a new grind)

[tidal notch]

This one SHOULD be pretty quick. 15 to 20 mins is what we're aiming for.

[hollow blaze]

What do you know about Alliance tournament? Event schedule does not includes it. Last month there was no tournament.

[somber orchid]

That’s 20 minutes I will have to work 😢 instead of gaming

[wicked olive]

so that week maintenance for almost 7 hours ?? and nothing is really fixed, only new bugged stuff.... congrats for that work

[tidal notch]

No updates!

[little latch]

FYI: Anyone still wanting to remain hostile with any of the main factions, you should not do the daily claim for the Talios after you earn it.

[hollow blaze]

That's bad...

[gentle shale]

This might be an odd piece of feedback based on the introduction of new systems/hostiles: as you add, look to see where you can pare back or eliminate systems & hostiles that are no longer relevant. I’m specifically thinking of Worm space. I dont remember the last Worm event (and wouldn’t advocate for any). Instead I’d recommend at least their removal or a single arc mission thar addresses their disappearance (eg, dimensional/spatial anomaly that has removed the worms for something else or just gone).

[jaunty fog]

Don't "fix" the video button in the UI, just get rid of it, already several other places for people to view your vids, if they so choose.

[unreal sierra]

Keep making the game worse, my bank account is flush

[leaden ridge]

the new battle pass will give out less materials in the long run and it will drive players out of the game and the new hostiles can only be killes by high level shois that make the divide betwwn the have and have nots worse

[plush trout]

Its clear your team doesn't like the players, as evidenced by the "kill X amount of hostiles lvl X" over and over again. The whole game is just kill hostiles. You can surely think of something better and more creative rather than show open hostility with this mindless objective.
Keep running the product into the ground while squeezing the whales who have a very unhealthy addiction.

[fluid mist]

if the videos were tutorials on aspects of the game i could understand bring it back. Personally I'd still say to know them just like most of us are saying no now the reason for it is all they are is beks intro vidz she does every month which is exactly the same info as your news feed in game your blog on website or things you can figure out pretty quickly on arcfall day. I'm not trying to sound rude or angry towards anyone but with all the different ways any of us can find out info in todays age do we really need to be putting youtube video's into a game like seriously

[rich elm]

This seems to be one of the arcs with the worst rewards yet. This feels like we are moving along in the Limbo of arc rewards 😄

[acoustic geyser]

So I used my tablet this morning to buy the new archive building and upgrade it a bunch. I have now logged into the game via my phone instead and the build has vanished. Completely gone. Anyone else had an issue with vanishing buildings especially the new one?

[scarlet quail]

<@&509690795536941056> The mining of codes is messed up. When mining the red data, 4,000 node on an op 28 account says it will take 11 minutes but when actually on a node with half of that amount it says it taking 21 minutes. Have an ops 54 player who is on a green node and it says it will take 5 minutes and it is actually taking 11 minutes and before the upgrade it took him 8 minutes.

[rich elm]

just buy some more packs, that will fix it

[acoustic geyser]

Figured it out. Turns out you can still play the game without updating the app on your phone. Naturally updating said app resolves the issue entirely

[sinful socket]

This blasted thing keeps popping up as a "reward". It doesn't matter how many times I clear it, it just keeps coming back.

[little latch]

You're also mining up to 3x the node size. Which is why the times don't match. I don't think this is working as intended, its probably supposed to be like all the other bonus mining. I had 5 minutes on a 60,000 green node, but it mined for 15 minutes and I got 180,000.

[odd prawn]

Well done on the removal of the videos to stop the issue with the help button being covered <@&509690795536941056> now..... Can you keep them out please?

[scarlet quail]

Ahhhh….yeah the node says 4,000 which is what it was before and it shows (when I looked that it was 2,000 and still had 21 minutes to go)

[astral wadi]

server 34 here you guys should move the arena event to a different day and give a longer window. It's hard for people to get it done with such a short window on Monday cuz everyone's mining. Thank you

[brittle reef]

How do you automate the hailing frequencies? Can't see any options.

[carmine yew]

elite battle pass unlocks this problem is there is no fusions rods to unlock the slot on the ship to equip it that i have come across yet

[somber orchid]

Milestone 4 in bp

[carmine yew]

I believe it refers to it showing on this screen when you scan a ship 😂 🤣

[regal cypress]

This new BP progression is a joke. Choice your reward

I just counted and it gives less than the old one ohh wait you can choose no thanks... This is outrageous. I planned to buy this arc but with this downgrade no. Don't know whose idea it was but give them a punching neck massage as a reward... Because it's not a quality of life feature... For F2P it's a good reason for quitting

Reverse to the old one.

[devout orbit]

Romi instead of Guinan? If you cant call a character by the name they are known for a majority of the franchise, then DONT USE THE CHARACTER lol

[grave quest]

lag is sooo bad!! restarting every 2-3 minutes! chet delayed 30-50 seconds, attack orders not doing anything… FIX the game!

[sacred garden]

Kindly do something about this mission bar tab , it is hard as heck to get to the new building to click on it for doing upgrades or seeing how much you still need to upgrade the new building here. As you can see here the mission thing is in the way

[edgy dock]

Any way someone can check the new Botany Bay upgrade in the new archive? I’m supposed to be mining data at 596,355 per hour; 5ish minutes. Definitely not that fast since it’s going to take 15+ minutes once I get to the actual node.

[hoary lynx]

Can we make the Vindicator sourcing realistic? This is by far the worst sourcing of a ship in STFC history. The requirement of Silver 2 rank means that very few players will be able to unlock it

[split harbor]

Agree with above, vindicator sourcing is horrible. Locking an armada ship behind PVP event is beyond dumb. Also, why would I waste my valuable tokens for a ship nobody wants instead of ship cost efficency to get 5* ships faster for less faction credits.

Probably take me more then 200 days since there is no way I'll have enough for even one pull a day. I can't realistically do arenas since timing is during the time I spend with my family and your game is definitely not as important.

[woven plover]

just leave the news/video button off of the ui. people can get to it from the player stats, and its a nuicanse anyway. While dropping buttons, feel free to take off the new archives button as well. It won't be used as much as the refinery or items button and doesn't deserve the UI floorspace. Can be accessed just like the away teams.

[dense belfry]

Specialy since you can only really reduce grind AFTER you maxed the ship already. Otherwise you cant finish the track.
Yes you can earn some benefits but most clicks stil are needed to the biggest part of the players who are between ops 40-50...
(So mostly a favor/function for whales who are high level and already maxed out the ships)

[quasi wraith]

its not true, though the effective time reduction to grind out your raws varies by loop
what it does is reduce your time in field because you dont need as long to get the refines
and then the parts CE makes it quicker to get to the end point of maxing the ship
my sample of voyager for eg, im at 4th level and doubling my loot in a single run now plus the 8472 summon has dropped to 347 from 500 so less restricted on biotoxins with an extra summon per hirogen refine for eg,
its knocked many days/weeks of the time though I will still be ops locked at the next tier for voyager

[sly mango]

this arc is just a shame. they introduce chaotic tech , that can be gotten only with money in paystore.. so why to give us things to level them as most part of the players won't have it ???

[willow raven]

Another F arc

[dense belfry]

But the hostile loot was never the problem nor enoyance. I dont mind the work. I mind clicking daily throu all refinery tabs, factionstores and store to collect all available stuff one by one. Its almost 10 min daily clicking and not playing. And until you maxed certain ships you have top keep doing that...👎

[quasi wraith]

oh well yes a claim all free bundles would be a nice add always

[dense prawn]

I though this was supposed to be a 100% unlock for free? I've got a max BB already...

[gilded escarp]

It is free… once you upgrade the building lol

[dense prawn]

sigh, what a joke

[quasi wraith]

need to wait for the free daily claim of building mats, so technically free

[slate chasm]

Credit where credit is due. The choice reward idea for the battlepass is actually a good idea

[carmine yew]

Yeah, I cannot help but feel like I am missing out on other rewards. Wish I had screenshots of previous ARCs to compare

[rare vale]

I agree I hate that thebfree path is locked behind a broken event in refuse to play. However, although I don't have it, I know high lvl players who have a vindi and it is extremely useful. It can kill things only maxed g5 or g6 ships can and with a fraction of the repair costs. It also has an enormous cargo hold.

[split harbor]

YAY Bugs!

[open mason]

Scopely, I'm going to say this. Well done on the Quality of Life improvements. most notably the lock on the claim all button for rep, seriously, thank you for listening to us and helping us with this. Much appreciated people.

[light nymph]

Do we get a percentage what exactly "chance" means in the daily claims for Archive?

[fossil frigate]

Love the QoL changes in this arc. New mission layout looks great and Independent Archives will eventually be amazing 🍻

[potent blade]

Q's Battle Pass really sucks. Where's the uncommon and rare mats that I need to level up my stations and ships? Well at least this will save me some money this month

[fiery ivy]

Wait it requires Silver 2, too? I thought it was already ludicrous that it required almost all of my daily uncommon pulls at gold level for a 2 chest pull making it a 100 day turn-in. If it would at least just take common terran tokens instead with no rank requirement it wouldn't be as bad.

[brazen oracle]

Looks like chaos tech is another pay to play path, just like forbidden tech. At least forbidden tech has a few f2p things you can unlock

[vast summit]

Still can’t load game on my iPad - COME ON SCOPELY!

[polar crest]

A few times over the last few months I've privately complained about the UI. 😒 Given recent UI improvements (e.g., Claim All for DGs, & now the rep DGs toggle), public praise is well-deserved. 👏 🙌 I hope they continue!

[limber steeple]

😍 the smart speedup is fantastic, thank you! If I may be so bold, the ability to modify the selection of speedups used would be a great addition to an already strong improvement

[tranquil ferry]

Guys I beg you. Hold off on the new stuff, and please fix the issues you know about. Yesterday in the Arena, I spent half a round with one ship and the rest with no ships because they were "warping" for the entire time. The lag is completely out of the realm of reasonable. I have no lag in any other game. Just yours. Your arena matchups still have massive problems. How are folks on servers capped at 50 meant to beat teams with level 56+ ships that we can't even get yet? All of these things are fixable, I would simply ask that you spend a reasonable amount of time on bug and logic fixes (there are plenty) and stop pushing new content until your game works well. PLEASE

[little latch]

It might not be working as intended right now, but currently if you max out the extra mining, it's 3x the data mined and 3x the time. So 5 minutes to get 60000 becomes 15 minutes to get 180000 from the same node.

[limber steeple]

the lag is brutal. I couldn't do the 1st round of a wave b/c they'd freeze outside the system and they'd be at the center defeating me before I could target one of them. It was late at night and I was the only one in the wave. Normally I can at least get through 1 wave and complete the event in a few tries. not this time.

[echo sable]

Credit where it is due.

Missions being separated by type AND being collapsible is good and it is aesthetically good as well.

Good job there.

edit: I dont care for the faction lock. But IIRC it was requested and I saw people approve of it so I will give a thumbs up there too

[civic lintel]

new missions don't need to be 10 parts...there are enough grinds and other things to do and having to do them is VERY tedious at best

[cold summit]

they're not meant to be done in 1 day tho

[civic lintel]

Not a helpful response. New missions can be a single task or 2 not 10 parts with multiple sections of unnecessary grinding. There are better ways to manage it and this isn't one of them. I am glad you have a couple of hours to sit there and do 3 missions many of us do not.

[cold summit]

@civic lintel you literally have 20 days to complete the missions... and rewards that they offer is not going to make you a better player... there are plenty of other major bugs and issues then to worry about length of missions

[civic lintel]

This is a general feedback channel where we are welcome to share the feedback. Just because you don't agree with what I have to say doesn't mean to you need to justify it with a response that counters what I have a plight with. Changes are made based on feedback bug related or not, it doesn't have to be about every bug we all know that exists and little things can make a big difference in the gameplay experience.

[cold summit]

while you are correct and allowed to voice your opinion, which i agree with, but you should also take into account that completing missions within a rather generous timeline is an issue. I honestly don't know why you are complaining about the length of missions when the timer is 20 days long and you are claiming that it interferes with your daily grind. I don't work for Scopely at all and i have my own gripes with the programmers, but complaining of something that is a non-issue for most of the community seems that you should be complaining of other issues than this. but you do you.

[civic lintel]

🤷 Will be an agree to disagree moment

[limber steeple]

I finished the missions, that was the easy part. chasing borg probes when their actual location is half a system away from their displayed location is a bit more challenging. #FixTheLag

[sinful socket]

New ss, same problem. This "reward" keeps popping up. I've already completed the SMS earlier today, and the reward keeps popping up every few minutes.

[hollow blaze]

Can I exchange invasion, arena and incursion event for alliance tournament? All 3 for 1 event. Sounds a great deal. Would be happy with 1 useful event in exchange of 3 useless and boring ones.

[somber orchid]

I’ll let you into a little secret you don’t have to do the events if you don’t like them . But don’t tell everyone that

[hollow blaze]

If you meant it for me, my answer is: I never said I am doing those events. That's why I want to exchange those to an event I would like to do.

[hollow root]

I think putting a tooltip there is helpful as well as if they were separated it would give better help

[slender ledge]

That is not how the buff works... for each data you mine, it multiplies... it's like a tribble-buff!

[glad trellis]

Today’s maintenance is planned to start at exactly the same time as Adia Takeover. Can maintenance start one minute later please so the Adia Takeover is activated and we can score towards Trailblazer?

[cold summit]

take that back mate!!! some players can't finish the missions within the 20 days time limit 😂

[kind rose]

....the mission was like a half hour tops

[cold summit]

@glad trellis if it's a new capture... it may matter... if it's to retain territory.. you shouldn't have a problem... just ensure to have ships in the system just in case an alliance decides to challenge

[glad trellis]

I’m speaking of experience. If a TO falls within a maintenance period, it doesn’t happen. Services aren’t dropped either.

[rotund root]

Are we going to have to put up with this Q Flash when switching away from the chat box all month? Or is it a bug? 😄

[wooden spire]

Years of the same begging messages on here. Perhaps it’s never going to happen…

[lusty shell]

another maintenance?

[mellow sequoia]

At least they are consistent

[somber orchid]

#⭐-official-announcements message

[rapid pulsar]

What a farce. Stands to reason if you shut down for a such short break you will have everyone just waiting with fingers poised. No system could cope with that. Please try harder

[lusty shell]

oh I thought it were the messages from yesterday because it basically looked the same

[marble vigil]

lmao why should we expect scopely to be able to tell time? they disappoint at every other thing we expect from them, so of course they lied again, standard operating procedure at scopely

[dapper bramble]

So much for 15-20 mins

[sinful socket]

Well... the maitinence didn't fix this issue. I'm STILL getting this crap. Make the mad man stop!

[blazing thicket]

Hi guys, I am missing the ingame-possibility to get shards for Shax, Billups, T‘Ana…

[random cosmos]

It's crap because it's booted me back to level one

[peak harbor]

What is the Borg refinery issue? I still have a Borg refinery issue after I completed the Vi’Dar stream in the independent archives. I used to have 2 purchases of solo armada tokens daily: one for Vi’Dar and one for Talios. Now I’ve completed the Vi’Dar stream, I get 100 free directives but both of the purchases have been removed from the Borg refinery. I understand removing the Vi’Dar one but not the Talios one

[wary fjord]

Scopely where's my sliders so I don't have do 52x 20 pulls?

[maiden pier]

Still no archives showing for me... even after mission

[rare tendon]

you need update game app via app store to see new content

[maiden pier]

Ty.. @rare tendon that worked

[marble vigil]

on server 93 and scopely took over 200k volatile isomatter from my reserves what the heck? trying to prove that if i quit spending i cannot play anymore or something, is that what the 15 maint today was for lol?

[brittle reef]

Oh, great. Another reminder of stuff I can't do. Please fix these reminders. They're anoying as hell.

[vast plinth]

@tidal notch I DM'd you about incursions as requested.

[swift steppe]

I truly hate the new mission que, I'll leave it to others to try to piecemeal fixs, for me just get rid of it

[fresh fulcrum]

It'd be nice if the daily maintenance lately would actually fix the bugs

[north ibex]

[EU 112] Nice additions for the "Smart Speedups" / Mission separators and the Archives, good job there Scopely. The only feedback I can suggest, is for the Mission separators to be "lockable", like the current on/off suggestion for the Smart Speedups! If I concentrate on (Main/Storyline/ and say FED missions and close the others, they keep re-opening currently if you change to a different screen, and back to Missions) So you need to re-close the Mission areas you don't want. Otherwise Good job peeps

[lost cedar]

Why this is so nice and most of stuff they did this arc is good the biggest complain i have is with how much vindicator bps cost can <@&509690795536941056> not sure what can be done but thats a ridiculous price seeing u have to do it each day even for single pull its pretty ridiculous

[nova sierra]

After being burned with the NSEA, with such a ridiculously short/easy f2p path, I waited on the Vindicator… this convinced me now to purchase it today… no new content should be f2p until at least 90 days imo. It’s good to see they made this more difficult. 🙏🏻

[lost cedar]

That is true i understand 90 days ( which is standard ) ... But getting it even in 180 days might be hard because how much it cost per bp / double pull

[burnt viper]

<@&509690795536941056> Just wanted to say so far I love the qol improvements of this arc. Great job.

[peak charm]

Archives ... I still don't understand how this is supposed to simplify my gameplay and make me happy

[wild gate]

Why have we got hijacked ship BP in the Archive payout??? These ships were useless when they launched with the Bb and we can't even scrap them??????

[azure island]

When you’ve paid enough money then you can claim all the loot without grinding. 👍🏽

[peak charm]

new chaos tech ... half hour of grinding, one refine and I got 160/2000 for "unlock" slot on one ship ... I'm reeeeeally happy, my life is finally beautiful ... my second job can become my first job and I can also buy job accessories for thousands of euros 🙈

[carmine yew]

we get them tonight

[pale garnet]

corrupted scopely strikes again, add vindicator ship to terran store, requires that you particpate in a un-balanced pvp against ship mega times your own size, and not only that, but to get fleet commander lorca you need the vindicator ship, rise to the corrupted occasion scopely, of course scopely say they listen to members, but then totally disregard what you have to say and go their own way as usual

[swift steppe]

I actually agree that improvements on this arc overall are FAR better than in the past, but they should've done mission que more like they do officers, can't stand the way they've done it.

[sacred garden]

Guess the only way to get this chaos tech is to buy it since you sure as heck don’t earn anything in upgrading building or the tier paths. Clicking on it to acquire just takes you to the q trials refinery. What a joke

[sinful socket]

For the faction slider. Could we, instead, have 3 (one for each faction), where the slider stays where selected until changed by the player. This way, players that are actively grinding for a specific faction can choose to gain only the + rep for that/those faction(s), while not gaining rep for the remaining faction(s)?

[exotic wave]

@tidal notch any reason this research for ASM tagged assimilated hostiles hasn't been coded to work vs QC tagged assimilated hostiles? Either an accidental oversight or this research was designed to be pointless forever! 🤔

[prime socket]

Smart speed up was a really good addition. But by not somehow including the free minutes, you’ve left a second button press that could have been eliminated.

[tidal notch]

Nice!

[olive shore]

Anyone getting issue with the Free & Elite BP track not showing the rewards when clicked on <@&509690795536941056>

[tidal notch]

I think I've seen this before. Lemme check...

[devout lintel]

The new quality of life features are fantastic. Thank you for finally adding these and please continue to add more. It genuinely makes the game more fun.

[tidal notch]

I think so too! Lots of streamlining this arc!

[crisp tangle]

<@&509690795536941056> i cant imagine anyone that wants the videos back at all constantly coming up as new, can we please get a button to turn videos off if you insist on puttimg them back in the player profile area, otherwise some good stuff this update

[tidal notch]

I can pass that along.

[nova sierra]

The videos are awful, worse than the treasury full bug. If we want to watch videos we can visit the official website or YouTube. They’re annoying and interfere with gameplay… remove them, pls! 🙏🏻

[vivid quarry]

The game is terrible. System links are broken ship re all is broken ship repair button is broken. Please fix the issues for once

[last tide]

Can we change sourcing for vindicator from Terran store to a weekly event? You already have the weekly event for doing armadas to upgrade it, you should just make a version of that event for people without the vindicator that rewards the blueprints, like how the cerritos works. It would make more sense for sourcing, and requiring gold rank to be able to consistently pull 2 blueprints per day is not great, and i say that as someone who IS gold rank.

[sinful socket]

This is STILL popping up in my game. I haven't completed a single milestone from today's event with the same name, yet I'm getting these popping up constantly still!

[sacred garden]

Yeah but useless since it seems you can’t even earn the dang things. At least with the ones from q trials you can earn them. Upgraded both building and tiers for this new one and still nothing which makes its it less then worthless

[rich elm]

[...] In Update M71, a visual glitch caused the stats for assigned officers on docked ships to be displayed at double their intended values [...]

A visual glitch is something that happens to the graphics of the game and affects how the textures are rendered. The fact that values were displaying incorrectly is not a visual glitch - it is a coding error, a failure to program this right, which we encounter every moment in this game and seems to re-occur on mostly every arc release.

[pseudo wadi]

Sounds to me like they decided to cut officer power back to force more buys

[devout lintel]

I really hope they are planning more of these types of things. It's made the game much easier.

[neat meteor]

🤡🤡💩💩💩

[shut horizon]

@tidal notch can we suggest hijacked ships can become scrappable now that we are going to get a drip of bps from the mastery regardless? ie less than useless

[crude snow]

Are we having maintenance tomorrow? I'm still waiting on compo gifts

[willow raven]

That is why it’s free lol

[upper burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-wrath-of-khan-enterprise-gif-3358980

[nova sierra]

And the ability to scrap Meridians and Feeshas, etc… I’ve like 6 of each and no longer need them. Need more space for Pokémon 🙈🙏🏻 @tidal notch

[tidal notch]

Good suggestion will pass on some ideas for future additions to the archives.

[potent blade]

I made a comment yesterday for which I apologize. I think using the glasses instead of materials is better because it gives players more of what they do need. thank you

[sacred garden]

Sorry scopley not going to be able to afford to spend for going to be paying the billionaires taxes while they get another 4 yrs of tax breaks

[acoustic geyser]

I really need a faction credit cost efficiency research. Thx

[silk charm]

there is one for faction ships in the Terran faction store

[acoustic geyser]

Ah, shame it's not available for ops 33 (me) 🙂 Really trying to get that Augur grind done

[shut horizon]

Didn't even look at the Plutonium being in there too on the mastery claim

[scarlet quail]

@tidal notch Could you please tell Scopely that is a real pain to argue with them abt everything. Every time there is a problem, it’s an argument. I purchased the three arc missions and didn’t get one of them; got something I didn’t purchase. They said I did. I said there were three missions under QContinuum. I purchased those three, one right after the other. I looked and confirmed they were the arc missions. Names matched the Event. What I got was the two arc missions and a third random one unrelated and then the mission I didn’t get reshowed up in the store. They are like you bought the random one. I said that is not the name of the mission I clicked on. Of course I don’t have ss BEFORE I made the “purchase” who ss every move they make in the anticipation there is going to be a problem. You’d be screenshotting all day. This is the way they always are though. A while ago I painstakingly collected a ton of fusion rods and bought (for cash) a new FT and when I went to put it on the ship I accidentally hit the button twice so I “armed” it, took it off and then had to put it on again. Open a ticket with Scopely, and they basically said “Oh well”. THIS is what frustrates people; Scopely lack of care for their “clients”.

[brittle reef]

Great. Old bugs making a comeback. When closed it shows one notification, when opened, there's nothing.

[jaunty prism]

Can we maybe not keep showing me a red dot for things I can't do??

[brittle reef]

You opened a ticket for missclicking (doubleclicking)? And you complain they don't care? Of course they don't when people open tickets for such stuff.
I missclicked once in the faction store and bought an avatar, which I didn't want. I opened a ticket and they gave me back the credits. But they said it will be only once. I thought that was fair and I won't open a ticket for my fault again.

[scarlet quail]

The type of misclicking you describe has happened to me before, particularly in the faction store….usually I shrug and say okay, be more careful. This was a little different. I
opened a ticket because it cost me 40,000 fusion rods and I was saying this is a common problem, particularly with the lag and could they come up with a better way to fix this and would they reimburse me for my lost fusion rods. The packs at the time for fusion rods are $100 (US). I think I have a little right to be upset.

[tidal notch]

I'll pass this on.

[tidal notch]

I clikced on mine, and the pip went away. Yours didn't?

[jaunty prism]

I click, and it goes away, until the next time I load the game when it comes right back.

Others are seeing it too: #💬-general-feedback message

[proper field]

Please fix characters being stuck after speeding up their mission and completing it. Finished several and can't use them.

[carmine yew]

@tidal notch I am super annoyed...
Why have these officers been removed from Galactic Recruit?
These were the only worthwhile officers in that pack and the only way of sourcing them

[prime socket]

Check starbase. There’s probably a build that’s finished.

[rare vale]

@tidal notch any clue why the "Tri/Cry Rewards" in the event store give almost double the mats as the "Par/Ore" and "Dil/Gas"?

Would really like the ore and gas increased to match, especially since for some reason nearly every building over lvl 61 needs 6* UC gas.

[rare vale]

Carol has sourcing via the S31 faction store, but the point is valid otherwise.

[carmine yew]

Yes I know about Carol but they replaced Shax, T'ana, Freeman, Ransom, and Billups with crappy SNW officers that NOONE needs especially with ARENA and there was over 2 months left on the pack timer!
couldn't even try for a single grab on them officers because they never gave any events that awarded Galactic Recruit tokens even the Rare ticketed events gave event currency, not Galactic Recruit tokens.

If they want people to get the SNW officers they can dump them in the Mantis Refinery along with the other SNW Officers

[fluid mist]

seriously 4 days of maintenance wow maybe ya shoulda just shut the game off on monday for a whole day and do it all at once but no its more convenient to put players out 4days in a row and not really fix anything with all the confirmed bugs in game wtg scopley we all know who you value and it sure doesnt seem like us or our time

[tidal notch]

Glalatic officers cycle out every few months. I'll see what I can find out about other LD sourcing.

[tidal notch]

You mean in the bp right?

[hushed mason]

getting punished for claiming my Botany Bay rewards early feels awesome

[carmine yew]

hate this slowmode, 1 message every 5 minutes. wouldnt let me add my message to the above post.

There was 2 Months on the timer. I was watching it because there had been no ability to get Galactic Recruit tokens. Event currency was given instead.
The new SNW officers shouldn't even be added to Galactic Recruit, they should be placed in the Mantis Refinery with the others

[vivid venture]

Thus diluting the snw sourcing rather than adding new, less diluted sourcing? Naw

[nova sierra]

The ore especially is horrible value. Needs to be at least double if comparing to the crystal.

[carmine yew]

This is my rewards at Ops 42.
Guessing they want us to take Crystal
Most likely the next arc will have either Gas or Ore as the priority gain just like they do with the Vault rewards (This has been the Interceptor Month)

[lime socket]

It’s not a change. Crystal rewards in the battlepass as well as ticket events have always been about double compared to gas and ore. The chests here are just a replacement for what the battlepass would normally give in those milestones, just adding flexibility for you to put it into the material you need the most right now rather than a static spread.

[vivid venture]

Except the top BP milestone has always been waay way more ore. (That said, I think it would work out about the same if you spent it to match a regular BP)

[lusty leaf]

Thank you for the Missions groupings

[lime socket]

Yes this one has waaay more tokens in that last milestone and if you used it for ore you’d get the same amount as you did last month for that milestone. The amounts of stuff in each milestone of the materials keeps increasing, but crystal milestones have more than you’d expect (the last crystal milestone has more than the ore one that comes after it). It’s really clear in ticket events where crystal tickets pay out almost double the other two.

[vivid venture]

To be fair, crystal used to be the bigger sticking point. And for some folks it may be still, but gas and ore is what gets you ops levels. There's a method to the madness (i.e., pressure points that get resolved more easily vs what sells packs)

[lime socket]

Crystal is only a sticking point in g3 if you build all the faction miners. The materials are roughly evenly required overall for station (with particular ops having different materials as the bottleneck). Gas usually becomes the bottleneck in practice as its sourcing seems to be the lowest.

[vivid venture]

I might be thinking about before certain ships were meta and all the efficiency research. So yeah. Ok.

[lime socket]

For the warships it depends on which one you pick. So from 28 to 34 Crystal is a sticking point but that’s because most people build the Saladin. After 34 when the ent is the most popular choice followed by the augur, gas and ore will become bottlenecks for most.

[arctic elk]

Links aren't working intermittently on s61. Click and they goto your station instead of say: a mining node, system, or armada

[rare vale]

Yes, the event store which replaced the mats/rss in the BP. I noticed the mats in the ore and gas are same but the crystal is significantly more. Gas has always seemed more used than the others, but it is painfully imbalance at 61+. The rewards for each of these options should be the same (mats wise).

[tropic crown]

These rewards are trash.

[lost cedar]

Its always been like that bps and events always pay out twice the amount of crystal compared to ore and gas 🙂 as far i have calculated we getting same amount if not more ( people getting a bit more in bp i think than what we had previously ) end of the day its a good change

[lost cedar]

Its always been like that we are getting exactly the same ammount for all 3 ( crystal, gas , ore ) if not more ( from paid one atleast)

[rough belfry]

Why is this on a full 24 cooldown when everything else in the store is on a 22 hour cooldown?

[acoustic geyser]

Any fix for this? Tried clear localisation, restarts etc no dice so far.

[round shard]

I can see the benefit for some of the faction rep filter with the claim all button but I'd rather not have to tap it every day to collect my faction dailies. Please let the game remember my choice.

[marble vigil]

do not know how many more maint. we can endure, scopely policy being fix 1 break 3 per hot patch making it really rough, but hey that just us customers tight ? i mean the store works lol 😉 🤣

[limpid dragon]

@raw fiber Is it possible to change servers?

[somber orchid]

Up to ops12 above that no

[opaque blaze]

I think we're going to have to wait for more maintenance 😬

[modern cypress]

🤣

Choas Tech - a new way to engage!

No it is not! It is a copy/paste/rename and tweak of an existing feature (Forbidden Tech)

[pallid laurel]

A new way to spend more money!!

[wide juniper]

Please make the FKR reputation rewards in archive claim optional. I can't do faction dailies at higher rep levels and I don't want to lose auto-hostile grinding prematurely.

[hot smelt]

I am loving the smart speed up!

[thick flax]

Really bad lag on APAC. Attack button has a loading circle in waves. thought the backend maintenance was on for U.S.?

[primal nacelle]

Here's some feedback on the Chaos Tech. Don't make them ship specific. If you don't have the Monaveen then the Guitar is useless and same goes for the NX-01. If you want to excite players about getting these to the point of spending money then make the percentages of the effects higher 1st then go lower. Who's getting excited over 1%. Just my opinion

[rough belfry]

This is part of the problem with raiding. I get so little rss for the effort. I get 10 times this from the NX-01 and monaveen refinery with next to no effort

[carmine yew]

they need to do something about it since it takes hours to empty a base to be able to get to the Σ-Parsteel, Σ-Tritanium and Σ-Dilithium
Even with Max rank B'Etor and Amalgam ship refit

[nova sierra]

I like the ability to choose what mats/rss we want, however, ore always felt much more. Perhaps because of the final milestone in BP being ore/steel.

[lost cedar]

U might be getting more stuff actually with bp than what u used to get i remember the free side of bp calculated it and its exactly 🙂 what we get normally

[sacred garden]

Smart speedup nice concept , but in practice is a fail all it does is waist my speedups instead of finishing what I’m using it on. Tried it multiple times though having more then enough to complete the task if I chose them myself it chooses them where it winds up being a fail and costing me 3x as much speedups as it normally would when I choose them. Tried this a few different times I don’t think I’ll be using this failure of a system again.

[rocky cloak]

@tidal notch do you have any update on the field training expansion that briefly appeared then was pulled away a few months ago?
Will it ever come back fixed?

[copper rain]

was literally thinking this earlier, be great to get it unlocked and give us some things to work towards, love the idea of the field training being a long term goal. Almost like badges / titles you get in other games

[halcyon ember]

Is there any idea of what other archives we’ll be getting? Assuming we get more. Or did I miss it in the update notes?

[mighty rock]

Hopefully all of them, eventually; with obvious delays between ship release and archive track.

[halcyon ember]

That was my thinking given their stated goal of making the grind easier through the archive, I would just like to have a confirmation of it all but I suppose we’ll know more when Part 2 of the update rolls out

[mighty rock]

I doubt they'd give us a proper confirmation or timeline. It'll probably just we something we get now and then alongside other patches. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get more in Part 2, though, yet.

[rich elm]

Looking back at how many things they added that were pretty much relevant for that month or maybe couple months after only, it is very possible the monetize the carp out of the archives then move on and forget about it.

[fluid mist]

just like alliance tourny or invasion events invasion was said adamantly it was supposed to run 2x a month when its been once since October 1st

[lost cedar]

Are u sure mine seems to be working fine cost what it should

[lost cedar]

Ok just tested it out 🙂 seems to be working fine on my end ( smart speed ups ) original time was 119 days and some hours the only speed up i had is what you see here on SS before i use smart speed up button as you can see working fine for me

[tidal notch]

We're still working on it, but don't have an update for when its coming back.

[flint spruce]

Is Jack Ransom coming back at all? Galactic Recruit was the last and only place to get him up until the new update. Now I can't see him anywhere. 😦

[amber zephyr]

Why do the Daily Goals rewards list boxes show double the items? Like, if I click on the info tab for the Power Creep reward, it shows "officer XP, latinum, daily points, officer xp, latinum" where the xp and latinum are the same value both times.

[limber steeple]

the game has been super buggy with display issues the past few days. timers are inaccurate in all kinds of ways. Today I'm seeing armada speedups set the countdown to 1 minute and then starting with 30 seconds remaining. Hostiles have been well ahead of their displayed location which makes it difficult to target them in a time efficient manner b/c you click attack and then find out the hostile is half the system away from it's displayed location and flying away from you. The faster the hostile, the greater the effect, more time spent per hostile. I almost gave up on the sms for the new hostiles yesterday b/c of how long it was taking due to this.

[dense leaf]

I would like to suggest that there be a free poppy avatar created for those that would like to use it during the Remembrance period in Canada and other allied countries that mark 11 November.

[exotic tangle]

Claimed the independent archives bundle and it didn’t complete the event

[queen creek]

Did i just waste $100 on a skill i didn't need? I figured the skill points assigned every day would be doubled, but they are not. Also no indicator that the prime is active on the refinery. It says 100% but the output of the skill points is the same.

[fossil frigate]

The prime doubles lorca/sloan skill points and uncommon/rare/epic FC credits. This chart shows the base values without the prime

[queen creek]

Thanks!

[potent blade]

After months of trying I got my Kelvin up to Tier 10 only to find that it requires over 47K of rare interceptor parts. When I'm processing broken parts, the refinery gives me 0 to maybe occasionally 40 of these parts. How many years do you expect us to play just to get up to the next level. A lot of players are on borrowed time as it is.

[real merlin]

Some general feedback.... what's up with Alliance Tournaments? We get a great weekend of 1 but can't use all our rewards for a single prime because of a cool down limit, so OK cool we'll get it next week right? 4 weeks later still no tournament .... not even the common courtesy to comp credits and open the store for us to complete our primes we all want so desperately....... come on get us some tournament satisfaction....instead of rolling out more new stuff finish some of the stuff you already started!

[vivid ginkgo]

server 401.
armadas are bugged
they tick down to 0
don't start. no message. nothing. just disappears

[prisma raptor]

STF command all focus on money invested player no free player Play this game easily now days Scooply force to Purchase Packages Otherwise None money investe player Scooply don't care
I Quit this game in August bye bye STFC

[warm gulch]

epic is ops 51+... min... iam 50 and i dont get this

[analog sparrow]

For G6 players, this is the second month in a row without added value. Of course, the new building will again provide a few % sigma efficiency. But even the new primes are lousy. Actually, there has been nothing of value since Lorca (early September) that would have improved the game experience for G6 players (Alliance Tournament, Arena, Vindicator... all useless).

[stoic jewel]

Quit in August, still here in November.

[prisma raptor]

Only Discord

[sullen quail]

Too repeatly tell us you that u quit?

[prisma raptor]

@sullen quail if you like this game you play With investe money and happy Play 🙏🙏

[chrome rampart]

is CODE BOOST still valid for new players before level 10?

[cosmic knoll]

pretty sure the code is STFC$W4LL2024

[dreamy river]

100 prime research @$150 a pop 😅😂🤣😃🇦🇺 yeah sure

Just some feed back ,

[carmine yew]

There is free paths to getting Prime research, just takes alot of time i have 91 remaining 😂

[arctic elk]

Links still not working....now i don't have any fleet commander slots s61

[flint river]

So I have Independent Archives, and there is button in the bar, next to other things like officers, factions, etc. but this button has no any use. There is nothing to collect there. And the progress of ships is so slow that having Archives on the bar just wastes space. Even refit would see more use than this. Unless I'm missing something.

[slender monolith]

When you have mastered at least 1, the button has a use once a day, but otherwise yea, didn’t really need to be there

[hexed pelican]

Vindicated blueprints; change the acquisition to something unrelated to arenas. Because you know, people that dislike PvP shouldn't be forced to do PvP to be able to get a purely PvE focussed ship.....

[winged hamlet]

So a positive the cost of the vindicator prints dropped but they left it the rare so boo.. Other ships blueprints were common and that was for events that ran daily not weekly for an eight hour window. Another change needs to be made.

[wooden spire]

Some of us have left the asylum but still enjoy the odd peek through the windows at the inmates, watch them bouncing off the walls and expecting each day to be different. Take another pill and chill dude.

[obtuse totem]

Quality of Life Improvement

[leaden junco]

@tidal notch @raw fiber <@&509690795536941056> for all the negative feedback you guys get, I'll say great quick fix on Vindicator bp cost reduction. It should still cost common credits since you need 200 at 2 at a time, but the action does show active listening, so for that, you all deserve credit.

I had an idea for quality of life improvement. Can we get a slider on ship bp purchasing through faction stores? That way we don't have to click into and out of it 65 times for our g4 and g5 epics? Lol.

Also, for as quickly as you reacted to the Vindicator cost reduction, we need that kind of gusto for arena matching. There is really no excuse for how poorly that has been handled, especially in light of today where you guys did a a genuinely good thing. Arena has the potential to be top 3 best features in the game and it's being held back by lazy initiative on a simple, and needed fix.

[rough belfry]

I agree with the cost reduction of the Vindicator BPs. And I also agree that it should cost Common credits vs UC. With the sourcing for Terran credits being so limited because the Arena is so limited, it's super painful to source the UC needed.
I know it will get better when you raise your arena ranking but that will take some time. And so I will still be passing on the ship for the foreseeable future.

[wide juniper]

Definitely bug report it if it's picking the wrong combo, it has been working fine for me

[formal bay]

<@&509690795536941056> I waited a few days to really dig into the new QoL improvements and independent archive content. Now I’m comfortable saying well done! You listened to our feedback about the grinds and the sliders for speed ups vs. auto-generate and implemented what I think is the best arc update in years. Thank you!

[hybrid mulch]

i'm just anxious it's going to be another freebooter

[drowsy void]

Sucker!

[tropic crown]

Jack who?

[timber root]

<@&509690795536941056> Even with the reduced cost the Vindicator is still a pass for most people as it still takes uncommon terran credits which are still better used on the other stuff. It needs to be bought using common terran credits.

[tepid valve]

@raw fiber Plz pass along my thanks to the Overlords for listening to our feedback and slashing the price of Vindicator BPs 👍🖖

[ivory folio]

could you please stop using colors for text. Its completely unreadable so. I think it must be Texas hostiles but it would be much easier if i could read the text...

[proper field]

Games broken worse, again. Surprise. Ships stuck in limbo, won't return, can't recall. Multiple armadas all show up in whichever zone you view. Come on Scopely, you can do better than this.

[slow mirage]

SUPPORT is closing tickets left and right WITHOUT doing any work!!!

Reps simply close tickets and do nothing. Please fix this 💩 show

[rare tendon]

sending the same email 3x ?? one would be enough 🖖

[lusty lava]

Where to Write to scopely if the faq (Frequent Ask question ) 1st Level Support isnt cooperative?

[hidden lichen]

Hmm, so if you master the Botany Bay, everything under the Augment faction disappears except for the cosmetics. Not quite what I expected, but still ok I guess.
I was hoping to continue spending augment coins on recruit chests, in addition to the daily mastery pulls.

[hidden lichen]

Also I’m guessing the “Augmented Credit Yield” outlaw research is now useless?
One level of it got me 55 independent credits instead of 50 from Aug store. Now the instant claim gives me 100. Overall better, but glad I didn’t invest more in that research!

[radiant arrow]

Has the map bug been listed? Whatever they did to improve pathing has also made stored map coordinates stop working after 10min or so.

Wow saw the grapthars pack with exo bought it and just read No exo for over 60 thanks for the kick in the nuts

[worn cosmos]

the choice rewards and therefore the ability to choose for our own is finally a good idea of Scopely. I hope it will be installed in further battlepasses as well. 🤎👍

why is the Q quest not working ? https://gyazo.com/357ea894695b0f23e1a8c6883fb88452

[sacred garden]

It worked fine for me I’ve completed it

[thin shard]

Some people can't unlock the Ex-Borg faction, because they don't have the mission "We are people too". (See screenshot from my alliance member ops 40).

It would be very helpful to write down where to get it for them. Or if it's automatically started, but not for them, that they should contact support 🙏

https://scopely.helpshift.com/hc/en/19-star-trek-fleet-command/faq/7209-ex-borg/

[dusty bone]

I'd like to see my officer xp total listed again, when I go to spend it.

[sand notch]

is it not in the holodeck under the exborg section?

[thin shard]

Nope. That's what I suggested them too, but they say it's not there 🤷‍♂️

[sand notch]

they havent archived it by mistake? 🤔

[thin shard]

Nope. It's probably a bug. I've found a post from January, where someone solved it by contacting Scopely support and they promptly activated it.

My request was to put more information on the help web page, so that people won't have to look for it, but know, where to find and start the mission, or if it is started automatically by reaching ops 38.

[carmine phoenix]

When I was at 38 I had to go to the Holodeck and get the mission from there.

[dapper bramble]

Gotta commend the team on the new building and the good few progress path as well as the new hostiles are a super design 10/10 allow for a good challenge and many creative ways to approach them.
Severus vs bships,
Phlox vs interceptors etc etc.
Good challenge love it

[echo sable]

Mobile: when my alliance posts coordinates the game will instead snap over to my current screen instead of to the location marked.

[lost cedar]

Well yes gota do a ticket happened to few in past i think

[coarse sundial]

hay scoepy team please fix claim all chests if claim all means what it says we should get all at once not 1 -2-3-4 stages of clicking, As for smart speed up please make sure it complets the thing its speednig up againg its ment to be 1 click not to click, Togling daily frk in dialys whats the point in it ~I have to trun it on all the time more clicking, bec said less clicking in this up date did she not small improves but as noraml poorly implanted if you give some to speed things up or open all ites make it one click for good nees sake

[bleak gorge]

Need to create a way to find rogue actors who indiscriminately go around taking out miners. I'm not spending another dime until that mechanic is created.

[rich elm]

You must have been increasing their scores on all questions. I've not gotten a questionnaire in years.

[cloud helm]

The Voyager is probably the closest you will be able to get to that. Anything else, people will abuse the feature to stalk players.

[lapis robin]

My game is disabled. Can't be repaired. This is the second error message

[half jasper]

Scopely - You need to add solo alliances to Arena. A lot of us don’t want to be part of bigger alliances and that excludes us from that facet of the game.

[cloud helm]

Recruit 2 other players? Surely that is doable since there are a lot of you.

[half jasper]

Yeah a lot don’t want to be bothered with joining alliances.

[leaden junco]

@raw fiber @tidal notch <@&509690795536941056> I think an error at reset disabled a building slot. I have 2 and can only use one with no other building being upgraded. Has anyone else noticed this?

Could you please script anything, that the Alliance Power Tab is sorted by the actual power and not the ones weeks ago? Would be really nice to have actual data instead of outdated ones.

[sand notch]

have you tried using "geek uninstaller" to remove the stfc game client, then reinstalling? the scopely installer leaves residual files and windows registry entries

[hushed mason]

mining data is crazy now. i have no idea how much I'll get or actually how long it'll take
