[cunning rover]

I REALLY like the inclusion of older refits that haven't been available in the AT or event stores, but can we PLEASE make them at least unavailable (if they can't be removed) if a player already has sufficient shards in inventory or unlocked?

Same goes for the refinery, I can get shards for things I've unlocked forever ago.. just make it go away.

[ashen lodge]

<@&509690795536941056>

Since I'm on a roll with suggestions let's talk arenas (I have suggested this several times before)

The matchmaking is getting worse as fewer are participating overall. Here's how I suggest to get participation to increase.

Start with 3x the rewards win or loss. That way even a bad round or two let's people refine. What's discouraging is needing 2+ hours of constant non-stop gameplay just to refine. That's inexcusably too long.

Update the loss mechanism. Yes I know it's designed to have a negative incentive but if it took 5 losses to balance out a win that wouldn't be so bad.

The current goal is just first team to 3 group armadas wins. That feels boring as there's no other path to victory. How about more points for doing other things. "Loot goblin" hostiles that people race to get. Bonus points for other things, chained kills for instance.

Hopefully some of these ideas helps get participation up. 30-45 minutes is all a dedicated game mode needs. Multiple hours where I can't work, eat, do irl stuff just isn't going to work for most.

[dark plover]

@vale wasp please please write to any high admin in the game, server94 is continue blocked at lvl 60 with 3 years, and no incursions too.

[tidal notch]

It got worse with public squads?

[tidal notch]

Matchmaking that is.

[gusty glade]

Did game crash or just me ?

[tidal notch]

My game is ok....

[ashen lodge]

Yes ... I've shared pictures. 3 people below ops 63 paired with 66-67....zero possible way to win.

I go play another game when that happens

[acoustic geyser]

I'm missing the top of my head

[ashen lodge]

It's not always bad but I've heard several state.... They'd rather wait 10 minutes for a fair match than get paired with people who have next level ships.

[weak flare]

I doubt it's a specific reaction to public squads. You're likely seeing players who have long been frustrated by poor matchmaking opting out entirely, especially as they no longer have alliancemates pleading with them to fill squads.

Ultimately the problem is unfair fights and you'll never fix that by using OPS levels to group players. Ship development, research, artifacts, primes, FT, CT, all these things create vast differences between players of similar OPS levels. In fact, the current matchmaking rewards long term camping.

What you need is individual MMR (MatchMaking Rating) based on wins and losses, weighted based on expectations, similar to chess ELO. This way, whatever primes/FT/artifacts/skill is defining an individual player's overall Arenas performance is captured merely as their individual win/loss, with ratings pushing players to a position of roughly 50/50 win/loss.

Forget OPS levels. Match players based on MMR. But you also need to get more people involved for even MMR matchmaking to work, so once you implement ELO you're going to need to run an extended event with rewards players cannot ignore (and let's be real, you'll need compelling participation trophies to account for unfair matches) to get a large enough active base of players to get it off the ground.

[magic breach]

They need to stop allowing Public Arenas to play against Alliance only arena teams. Public versus public, yes. Alliance only versus alliance only, yes. Stop mixing the two it screws up the game bad.

What kind of matching is this!?!?! Waste of time to do these.

[weak flare]

Has nothing to do with alliance vs public. Three OPS60 randos with maxed G5 epics and tant Field and q canon beats three OPS60 alliancemates who have no FT/CT and T4 G5 rares, every time. I've seen people punch up 4-5 OPS levels because of primes, artifacts, FT, CT, and ship development. You will only ever get a fair match by chance if you're just using OPS levels. May as well use hair color or number of missions completed. Those have as much predictive value of Arena performance as OPS level.

[kindred sphinx]

Yeah... Thank you Scopely for not making it clear that the Amalgem Recruit tab disappears when you max your Amalgem Archives. I now have 93k Amalgem Recruit tokens that I will never be able to use. Would have netted quite a few HG Worf bps and FRK reputation Exos. What a kick in the rear.

[warm crater]

and to rub salt in that fresh cut… until they fix it (which is likely never), you’ll get 1/3 to 1/2 the number of exos that you got since on average you’ll get 1 per day rather than 2-3.

[kindred sphinx]

Yeah, I already see that... and the ones I get are only the 70% Exos... haven't seen a 100% exo drop in the last week.

[weak flare]

@tidal notch Adding another data point to this, an alliancemate just reported him (OPS69) teamed with two OPS70s lost to a 67/65/63 because the OPS63 was killing every ship they could throw at him using a Rotty and probably every PVP tool money can buy. OPS level is not predictive of Arena performance.

[silk bear]

Someone “remind” me how SCOPELY “improved” arena! It’s just bs when a 53, 55 and 56 go up against a 64 and a 60. The person with the “bright” idea isn’t too bright.

[limber steeple]

game feels super sluggish tonight, and I'm not talking about the arenas garbage. Sigh, not even going to bother claiming all my free claims. Got my minimal dailies done, going to disengage tonight

[young ibex]

Absolutely. I got thrashed today by a player of the same ops level, but they had a Corvus that, while the same tier as mine, was ~550M power versus my Corvus' ~305M. I'm assuming that's due to Primes, FT, CT, etc. That kind of imbalance is virtually impossible to overcome.

[tepid lotus]

any turkish

[acoustic geyser]

Does it end today, or in 1day 4 hours?

[sand talon]

1 day 4 hours

[lunar ocean]

"More info coming soon!" Meanwhile, 5 hours before the event starts...

[frank pendant]

need some warp range research for the defiant so it can buff ships for the armadas like the cherritos and titan.. i cant get my defiant most places without summoning it with the disco.

[sturdy crater]

Some levels are missing. 🙈🤣

[quick gale]

Why do I have a survey link in my news? It says G3-G4 in the survey itself and what’s you ops level, which maxes at 49… bit pointless when I’m 61

[thin shard]

April Fools' Day survey? (I'm ops 60) 😂

[leaden haven]

Same here

[finite mural]

@rough belfry removed your post as it contained your email.

The survey is meant to target the level ranges listed, if you are not within that level range, you do not need to fill it out.

[grave quest]

to whom it may i concern, the hazard system mechanic in DS is just terrible considering that dailies for ops 61-62 include tasks for going there. it’s like saying “let me punch you in the face a few times even though you can’t do anything about it, but we will eventually give you a paper helmet to make it a little better”

[chilly oyster]

Tried to take the progression survey. It’s set up for people up to ops 49 and I’m 65. Could not complete it. Oh, well.

[blazing maple]

Same here. I'm level 66, survey caps out at 49. I didn't bother to finish it.

[half sleet]

The talos PvP need looking at as ship is level locked how can a 53 beat a level 60+

[unique current]

Adjusting… at what point does the game get adjusted and load? Sure glad I updated. Game loaded before the update

[fluid mist]

that's a pretty lame april fools event store tbh 1600 loot for that small of premium dust wow scopley's struggle for money must be real hard.

[willow raven]

The lag and crashes of this game are insane!

[gentle fog]

Your battlelog report should be including more details specially in cases of pvps. We need to analyze better. If someone using prime should be indicated and mentioned like FT or CT in the reports.

[near moss]

Happy April Fools on the G3-G4 Survey. I loled 😹

[swift steppe]

So what's the story with the bonus 4* refinery disappearing??

[hasty vault]

Nice April Fool's Day prank Scopely lol

[digital karma]

To whom it may concern: I am currently op lvl 41. I took the bait and accended past lvl 40 without securing an appropriate faction starship ie Enterprise in my case. I am currently unable to finish the majority of my daily tasks. I have since been able to build a Voyager, but it is unavailable due to attempting to gather toxins. my main ship is a Saladin. Not adequete. I am unable to interact with Freebooters, Gorn, or Xindi. I thought the blue prints would continue to roll in. but after advancing above lvl 39 I have hit a major road block. I can't even continue to advance. Please help me. I can't buy the ships. I am a disabled Vet, on a limited income. I love this game. I have recomended this game to my friends. I ask that you extend the blue prints of an Enterprise. Server 710 Alliance GUNS. IZpappy at your service. Thank you for your concideration.

[white plaza]

How do you get a Alliance group band for violating the terms of service. They need to go all of server 17 would like it.

[finite mural]

You would need to open a support ticket and provide evidence of the breach of the TOS. Know that an alliance attacking you is not a breach of the TOS.

[muted shuttle]

They don’t let you know they have done anything, because generally they do nothing. I have raised many tickets regarding cheating, not a sausage happened.

[scenic scroll]

Anyone know if warchest key carrry over? as in do I have to use them now because I will lose them after it resets?

[rose spear]

They carry over. I have gone several event runs until a cash in.

[pale garnet]

oh aye re-add the extra refinery that won't pull beyond minimum for maximum cost, never opening them again, and when are you going to fix the game in general, far too many glitches, and bugs, preventing many bits of info from being seen without multiple reboots, things that never get fixed after many years, this game should be running without any glitches or bugs or many or various problems

[graceful topaz]

Fixing the game would not get them more money, so no fixing, just new "content".

[solemn vigil]

I wish they would archive some of this content before adding anything new. They're losing players to it.

[spring flax]

The bps for enterprise don’t stop when you hit 40. I don’t understand what you mean by extending them.

You can still buy them in the fed faction store

[silk pier]

The player needs the blueprints because they haven't built the enterprise and they are having difficulty doing dailies and events with saladin at ops41.

[graceful topaz]

I don't remember that BPs were "rolling in" at all at OPS < 40. You had to buy them in the faction store or get them in events. Faction dailies are based on the faction reputation, not on OPS level. So I don't know what would be different at OPS 40.

[silk pier]

Non-faction dailies become 4* and appropriately higher for your ops level. Yes, you're right about faction dailies.

[zinc terrace]

Is it normal that I have a g5 and g3 bonus refinery but nothing for g4?

[sand talon]

normally no but..

[south kettle]

Is there a way to find out your total apex barrier against players?

[graceful topaz]

Correct, but only faction dailies provide faction credits and no daily provides BPs. There are only 4 permanent sources of credits as far as I know: Faction Dailies, Refinery, Missions and Shop

[rose spear]

Nothing super easy in-game sadly. Plus, there are a lot of conditional triggers out there too (needs assimilate status for example,) so it’s a big moving target on the whole.

You can get a rough idea after a battle by doing the math or you can add up your buffs manually though.

[mellow loom]

I'm not a developer but we've had these bonus refineries for years. How do they get messed up at this stage? At what point does someone stop and think a little QA would be a good addition?

[sand talon]

every update is basically a +1 of things that can go wrong next time, they test and check stuff and sometimes miss things as well, they're only humans, so i heard

[errant zinc]

My 4* bonus refinery disappeared sometime yesterday. It's nowhere... I can't find it... I've looked pretty much everywhere. While I didn't find it, I did find my remote....

[finite mural]

Should be back in a few hours

well less than an hour,

[sand talon]

dont say that, it gives them hope 😮

[fluid mist]

wow you ping a post 25 minutes after the time you say refinery going down glad to see the heads up

[weary elm]

This would have been helpful to know yesterday, since some of us lost the G4 bonus refinery earlier this morning #⭐-official-announcements message

[spare forge]

So here it is Wednesday and the daily and weekly events are still starting an hour late because Scopely can't figure out day lights saving despite them saying they'd figure out this past Sunday unlike like the last.

[pale garnet]

new rewards for g4 to go g5, and nothing for g4 just went g5, typical scopley scams

[limber mesa]

great this G4 acceleration, but it's not going to accelerate the acquisition and upgrades of all the G4 specialty ships.

[valid willow]

My refinery reset about 5 mins ago. The payout is much higher, across all 4 types this can help, the only thing is people need speed-ups and other resources to jump to another level. Some are ship collectors, others are perfectionists and need to complete all buildings and research before upgrading. Armada control centre needs its own parts. If you can cover more resource type and add speedups more people will jump.

[honest flicker]

And Scopely continues to treat G3 like 💩. They should have started the initiative with G3, then rolled up through the grades from there. levels 35-39 especially could use some TLC from Scopely due to all the ship loops that open in that level range and their associated researches, since Scopely has been so vocal about wanting people to get to G4 and beyond. If they really want players to level up faster, then increase refinery payouts, and/or reduce costs for upgrading/researching in the lower grades in sequential order. Also, increase speed up drop rates if you really want players to level up faster.

[steady harbor]

It's nice that scopley wants to make the game (refinery) easier for the G4 players, but maybe they should provide more mines for the G6 players.

[languid cloak]

The issue isn't always materials in the refinery for G4. It's restored ships parts. The ones you don't need (common) flow like a river. While the Uncommon and rares are the equivalent of a snail running through molasses.

[lavish dust]

you obviously ain't hurting for G5 common mats

[languid cloak]

With me not being anywhere close to g5, that would be a correct assessment. 🙂

[lavish dust]

Ever since hitting OPS 50, the only thing I'm always hurting for, for EVERYTHING is G5 common... you can't convert for it only buy it with latinum... and believe me it ain't cheap.

[nova sierra]

@tidal notch @raw fiber I like the new concept with the G4 “acceleration”. The problem is to get the AKZ to 45 to get to OPS 51. That takes time👀. I'm now in 8 weeks from 40 to 50. And there I stay because without Armada building on 45... 51 is not possible. Material is not my problem.

[cerulean quest]

Can we get the super refinery for G5 as G4 has ….. would help

[flat cliff]

😳 even Scopely knows how to commence actions for April Fools Day. They told us about supercharging G4's 😳

[valid willow]

Best thing to do if you want players sub level 51 to upgrade, is to apply 160 chest reward to all refinery and daily claims and gifts for every player below level 51. We get the speed ups and resources we need to upgrade

[still fractal]

If not for the absurd difficulty / cost to get rare armada tactical cores, I'd be at 51 already.

(and yes I know you can get them in only the G4 Epic (but only a "chance" of it) and G4 Rare Armada (a paltry but guaranteed amount) packs. Which is nice if anyone still has rare and epic armada directives...... Takes 6500 rare cores to go from L44-L45 ACC to allow upgrading ops to L51. Just $300 or so if you use a credit card.....

[unique current]

@tidal notch when will we be able to scrap 5* ships?

[finite mural]

later this year

much later

[hardy vortex]

Can’t claim war room rewards…

[finite mural]

score a point, hit a station or mine and dock some iso

[hardy vortex]

All levels complete, claim button is greyed ou

[finite mural]

like i said, you have to score a point

[swift sphinx]

It’s an alliance event, but you still have to score on your end to get rewards.

[hardy vortex]

Thanks for the help, what a poorly described event

[acoustic geyser]

I like the intention with helping people progress with this G4 initiative, however my biggest issue at the moment with progression isn't necessarily the mats - though of course they'll still be used and useful. It's more the faction credits and ship parts. I'm 42 and have enough mats to get to 46 easily, but I don't have a faction ship strong enough to carry me through these levels. I could buy a 42 uncommon but what's the point when instead I can half my time to a much needed 46 rare? Etc etc There's simply no way to speedup credit progression when I'm already maxing the ways I can obtain it as it is.. I'm open to suggestions but would love to see a ship part progression event too

[acoustic geyser]

Can we get trip added to the officer filter for loot rewards?

[lofty wyvern]

any chance you guys could filter out the transporter mats officers that are max with shards?

[obsidian gazelle]

Are you talking about war room?

[swift sphinx]

https://tenor.com/vNFMvuPblHU.gif

[boreal ferry]

Giving earlier/ g4 players mats to progress to g5 faster is only part of the picture. Early specialty ships still take a long time to acquire, maybe something like doubling blueprint acquisition from cosmic cleanup etc is warranted? Plus even in g6 g4 ship parts are still an issue, especially rare parts. Significantly improving those refineries (and stop paying only one grade of parts) would be a more helpful move to overall progression.

[merry comet]

While the extra mat refines are nice (seriously, 160 chests in one go? yes please!), my bottleneck right now is rare ship parts. I'm ops 50 and the only thing stopping me from going to g5 is wanting to max my g4 epics, and for that I'm going to need some more ship parts.

[slender monolith]

Or you could just move up to the G5 ships and max the G4s later

[merry comet]

It's quite a bit harder to get g4 parts when all your refineries switch over to g5

[boreal ferry]

it’s really bajorans and some event rewards that switch to g5… you can keep voyager+ evi paying g4 pretty much indefinitely if you choose

[merry comet]

I could, but I would never do that. I'd much prefer waiting another month or two to get the parts I need, ops up, and immediately start upgrading my ships than to ops up now and wait months before I can upgrade those two. Hence my feedback to Scopely, so they know why myself (and probably others) are not going into G5.

[final sundial]

My current hang up is rare armada cores, keeping me from getting to level 51 how about another pathway besides spending cash 💰

[warm crater]

This especially if they want people to CONTINUE to accelerate the pace both to and through G5.

[vocal tinsel]

You don't need a G4 epic and especially no G4 maxed epic... Waste of time and resources... Your 53UC will be better and you will use your G4 epic for 1-3 weeks... Total waste...

[silk pier]

I hope the improved g4 refinery is a permanent addition because one month will probably not be enough to advance all players to g5.

[lime rose]

Hi scopely, friendly reminder we need rare officers in pattern store and g5 scrapping. Thanks

[silver laurel]

If this works and a good chunk of players move up to G5+, can we finally get G5/G6 brackets split properly? <@&509690795536941056>

[slender monolith]

That’d be nice! Pretty sure there are more than enough G6s for 61+ SLBs already.

[haughty umbra]

I disagree. Maxing a g4 epic is good for scrapping later and I can destroy just as much more stuff than most the 53 uc ship can - range. Plus I crush a lot of them in pvp and arenas.

[chrome vortex]

Did we just pull a dump truck up for events and just dumping them all out again? I mean two Borg events. Second crucible of war I mean what next syndicate was a day early which is fine.

[merry comet]

You're certainly welcome to play that way, but it's not my style. Not to mention that scrapping them will serve me well in building the G5 epics.

[acoustic depot]

I have a small issue that's been brewing with me seence I hit ops 70 and that's the events for a lvl 70 to do there events they have to kill the highest lvl in the game and the 70s give the most points but you also have to kill even more then a lower lvl player would have too now when it comes to fkr the only lvl 70+ ships to kill constantly is 8n a hazard system 500% the cube dose not have that much resist my epic isn't strong enoght to be there long enough so now the problem is flight time 5m+ kills a few ships die to hazard can't click system cause of hazard death bug restart game log back in repair ship go back and almost repeat the same thing around 10 to 12 times just to finish the event a event a lvl 60 is getting done in 15m takes a lower to mid 70s player a hour or 2 to do then with all the deaths the repair bill is high sorry for the long message one last thing is there any way they can look into the acoreing cause I don't feel like people are skipping the grind when we buy packs it's more like we are buying more grind and the points needed for these event should be lower for 70s just my opinion thanks

[vocal tinsel]

I just scrapped one korinar for 25k rare parts... More than enough. 2-3months earlier in g 5 and 1-2 korinar scraps will serve an enty d more. Camping G4 has no benefits for G5 just personal reasons maybe

[tawdry flax]

Where are the updates you should would roll out today? The packs are unchanged https://startrekfleetcommand.com/news/store-update-ships-building-and-research/

[warm field]

Really bad lag on 53.

[rotund yew]

@tidal notch So what is happening to those of us who dont have the officers that are being removed yet thanks to recent events have the mirror crews? Who in their right mind made this decision?

[flat cliff]

Oh great. Getting rid of really good Officers in the Admiral line, which already takes a long time to build up for, and putting in junk officers that we can get easier. Yeah, that makes sense.

[dense swift]

IM QUITING GAME ... because of the botting i pay good money and i still lose event ect because others can be online 24/7 but never talk then strange they they talk later in there time zone even tho the been playing all night with out response but got form zero points to top slot on a event kill for that reason i have left my alliance and told them i will be quitting ... also they player that cheated was in my alliance thats why i noticed it more

[tidal notch]

You mean from the admiral recruit chest?

[finite mural]

They are in the ultra recruit and g5 rare armada box in the alliance store.

[rotund yew]

I do indeed and arsenic as kind of answered my point ty both

[slate ermine]

How about you try your own game and then you might find out that it is no fun to keep being held down by glass ceilings.
getting let out of 39 OPS (after 13 months) only to be blocked by 50 OPS is not funny and is killing the fun part of the game by not letting us strive for the biggest ships or the best base or anything that puts you apart from the competition as we are all stuck at the same lvl for a Litterial year

🤬

[tidal notch]

Compensation from updating the admiral recruit?

[solemn vigil]

We should get alliance tournament credits for how buggy it's been

[tidal notch]

I don't think we have any comps planned.

[tidal notch]

[ebon lotus]

@tidal notch for the next q&a can you ask if there’s any plans to improve pvp chests? Might encourage pve to pew?

[tidal notch]

I can try. But I'm thinking the next Q&A will be more Arc based than general game topics.

[winter sigil]

Making announcements on Discord with the local time is a much needed improvement, given our international player base. It would be great if the in-game announcements could also display the local time. Thank you.

[glad atlas]

Well, I guess percent is relevant to Scopely? Leaderboard shows that I am in the top 4% but the rewards show the next bracket down. I really hope that this is fixed by the time the event closes.

[vivid knoll]

With the focus on G4, can the Prime G4 refinery research in the Galaxy tree be updated to use G5 mats instead of G6?

[haughty umbra]

Ahh but camping in g4 has gained some of us a max arena rank, max credit efficiency for g5+ along with more f2p items so when we don't roll into g5 like so many other weak players

[tidal notch]

Yup! I actually raised this a couple of weeks ago. Lemme circle back around and see if there's any updates.

[vocal tinsel]

Nothing in your list is needed or makes you significantly stronger. Your account would be stronger if you used this 2-3 month in G5 instead of camping G4. Credit payout is high enough, except you want 3 maxed G5 epics which itself is a waste again. Within 3 months you could have a T5 sanctus and clear out 50 waves, while you can't do this with staying 3 months at ops 50. Also you get weaker on your own server because people ( same spending level) will grow stronger than you while you camp G4. The only reason to camp is Blue Armada cores, which scopley should adjust....

[haughty umbra]

I clear 50 waves with my g4 epics. Ill have more mirror research than most f2p along with higher tiered artifacts etc. Ill "get weaker"... nahh when I jump ill catch up quickly and surpass. Ive blown up a plenty t5 sanctus, sompek, some ent d's some lvl 65 cubes...You obviously haven't played long enough.

[haughty umbra]

Play your way my man. 🍻

[vocal tinsel]

No you won't catch up. Game is not designed that way. If you have multiple G4 epics as f2p it means you stayed 50 for half a year+. Someone else would be around 60 and you will never ever catch him again or beat him in PvP. You can play how you like but you should not deny obviously math. Sure you can beat some younger accounts in Arena but on your own server you will be hang behind. Everyone can put his own priorities... But staying half a year 50, doesn't make you stronger than someone who went G5 half a year before you
I would love to see that wave 50 clear out screenshot via DM

[weak flare]

Wait, is somebody seriously complaining about the refresh to the officers in the Admiral's Officer Recruit?? The current officers are not very good. SNW M'Benga is worth his weight in gold.

[karmic bough]

I never use him lol should I be using him?

[weak flare]

Depends a lot on your OPS level, hostiles you're hunting, and your Nova Squad research. If you're into G5/G6, then yes. SNW M'Benga(c)/SNW <triangle officer>/Lorca is baller. And if your Nova research is high, swapping the SNW triangle officer for Nero can be very worthwhile. SNW M'Benga is at the top of the list for my hostile farming crews. With synergy from SNW triangle office, M'Benga is giving you +4,000% of officer health to all mitigation stats and doesn't require you to follow the triangle.

[karmic bough]

Check DMs

[proven hound]

@tidal notch @raw fiber <@&509690795536941056> Can you please ask DEVs to implement a DM broadcast that can be used by Admirals or Commodores to send a DM to all alliance members?
Thx
LLAP 🖖

[sonic thunder]

@tidal notch I cannot enter game (Android), phone restarted and latest available update from playstore is installed.

Do we currently have an issue?

(Picture: Stuck at this point)

[slender monolith]

At least they post the IGN times in the 0 offset, seen plenty of other games that post only some obscure local time like PST

[errant brook]

Can we hold max. 6000 here? I am certain that I saved a full pull and it doesnt add up ...

[finite mural]

yes, the max you can hold is 6k, any gained after that is lost

[errant brook]

This is insane - so I lost a lot of stuff without ingame notice😡

[finite mural]

it actually tells you that the max you can hold is 6k

[sonic thunder]

I still cannot get in game, now for 2 h @tidal notch . .

[finite mural]

have you tried reinstalling?

[haughty umbra]

No need to dm. This will be month 4 to be exact. Terran favors helped with acquisition of the 3 epics for free. I also have the creds and prints to build the g5 uc and rares for free. You are correct with those who play like me on my server will be a little difficult to catch and maybe I won't. However, I can defeat many peer accounts on my server that went g5 as I hit ops 50 around the sane time. Have beat many g5 in arenas. Also, here are just a few screenshots that don't need to be "dm" . The 50 wave clear you asked for. ( I hope you were asking for solo) Along with a few pvp. Some vs around ops 60. Also added vs a pve akira for funsies. 🍻

[sonic thunder]

Is that possible without login credentials? I am away from home (i.e. i don't have them with me) and return after incursion started...

[errant brook]

crap by design with hint only in overstuffed unsearchable inventory.

There should be a ingame warning

Stfc disappoints on so many Levels these days.

[finite mural]

also tells you in the rewards itself for the event

[brazen prism]

Scopely so in the mood about Incursion; on my server almost all players fleeing from this game at a hundred times the speed of light. Every end of the month or early next month the mindless raiding event comes back with laggy gameplay and broken PvP .. so yeah pointless to hold this event

[placid rain]

@raw fiber please can you feed back a very strong request for the game peeps to remove the lock on FT's when they drop below 10% chance? Once you finish all your Q trials, they become permanently locked. No way to unlock them. This is really poor. I don't mind failing. That's a work in progress and something to keep trying to succeed in, but having them permanently lock to any updates, ever, is just really rubbish.

[errant brook]

<@&509690795536941056> If you click on the picture only- it's hidden and obvious bad usability.

Players feel cheated, and since there is no compensation or prospect of correcting these errors, it can no longer be called negligence – it is intentional.

Scopely profits from players losing progress due to errors in game mechanics.

This is a case for consumer protection.

That’ll be something you talk to your admiral about.

[placid rain]

What is going on with lag in incursion? I can't see where my ships are, I can't see the systems they have warped to, II can't see ships approaching mine, and then suddenly they are dead with no warning???

[timid sphinx]

Not going to purchase these packs until Scopely includes g6 ships in the efficiency buffs. Not many lvl 61-70 care about g5 ships any more.

[rotund hound]

I agree with not buying them, all the packs are geared towards 4 and 5 * players and the hell with the 6 * people.

[timid sphinx]

Yeah, you would think Scopely would release packs that are more attractive to their biggest spenders. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[ripe jetty]

add finally additional options to choose, or just the plus ...

[marble holly]

Where is the bonus refinery that was supposed to run today?

[lyric warren]

Does ANYONE want a new specialty ship EVERY OTHER MONTH? This is FIVE in the last NINE months.

[timid sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/fomo-cnft-yoda-cardano-gif-25203073

[torpid kelp]

<@&509690795536941056> man that you finally listen to the community and bring us another useless ship to buy. i honestly wonder what is going on with you. there is nothing more pointless than bringing a new ship, not something that makes sense, like: more g6 mines / finally scrape the useless g5 ships / increase the conversion from normal steel to sigma steel etc etc etc.

[limber mesa]

how many years will this ship take to catch up and become useful for anyone not low-G4?

[cosmic knoll]

New ship looks like a floating duplo-brick. it states its a G4 ship, bet its ops locked to G5 players 😂 got to milk money in those g4 mats needed to upgrade it right? 😂

[surreal otter]

God forbid we actually make the game consistently playable rather than release something else for people to pay money for.

[timid sphinx]

This sleek new interceptor looks a lot like the garbage truck that collects our trash twice a week 😂

[limber oriole]

Is this really the ship being released?

[slender monolith]

Classic Caldari engineering

[worn tundra]

Its so awfully desinged that seems the non stop $copely search for profit has lead them to give up all design care ..... $hame on $copely....🤬

[coarse sundial]

why push people to g5 then put out another g4 grind ship is it a grabbish huller?

[earnest plover]

the ship is so uneccsary to the game it was the same with the relativivty stop giving ships for the sake of it

[kindred lotus]

Welp, I'm at the point where I'm feeling saturated with all these niche ships.

[haughty sail]

Lol server warning for politics? I placed a picture of a SKIP because the new ship looks like a rubbish bin... but sure give out warnings , might as well abandon all things related to the game

[bright flicker]

The new ship is literally a trash can. It was a garbage hauler in the S31 movie and not an interceptor. Never was kept in the movie and shouldn't have been ported over to here.

[kind vale]

Another speciality ship, another loop, and more new currency. It's like Scopely reads the list of what players say they don't want and release that. Well played Scopely.

[coarse sundial]

we just want bug fizxes

[timid sphinx]

There will be a beautiful refit skin for only $99.99 USD 😂.

[coarse sundial]

its is a bug refit skin?

[dense prawn]

man, your dev team must really be out of ideas if you're just reskinning the same old specialty ship and same old specialty research and same old specialty loop AGAIN. Are people actually being paid to produce this junk?

[keen cloud]

@tidal notch the new ship abilities sound pretty cool. Looking forward to it when i get it 3 months after sourcing becomes available

[charred mason]

Enough!!!!Enough!!!!!! Every 2 battle passes always new ships to chase....... Enough, stop and seriously fix the game. In the inventory we still have things from the first story arc of the Borg. Millions of Kehra and Vahklas

[modern crane]

I remember when people used to get excited when a new ship was coming out because it was rare. I even remember when all the blueprints were given in the $20 battle pass (Merdian anyone?)

Now there's way to much to do with all the specialty ship loops, and a new ship coming out every other week that no one really cares for or has time for.

I know you're getting to get your money Scopely. But this is just copy/paste mailing it in, month after month. If you don't care about the game, why will the players?

[sudden girder]

Why is the upcoming garbage scow ship an interceptor rather than a survey? We haven’t had a combat survey since the North Star/amalgam. Change it please, it makes no sense based on the movie.

[rich furnace]

https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Garbage_scow
That's because it is

Scopely finally being open about their decisions being a load of rubbish

[timid sphinx]

So NOT an INTERCEPTOR.

[delicate skiff]

Stop giving us ugly trash singular use ships,

[timid sphinx]

Looks like they have a new Officer for this ship too 😂

[tidal notch]

But I usually try to calm the community with the most precious currency of all: My ever lasting love and respect!

[dark cairn]

The new ship should have just been a skin for the vindicator so it has some more use other than the one day a week armada grind.

[lucid pelican]

Really sick of my ships getting stuck in limbo and having to restart my client. I'm on a loop now and its been about seven restarts in a row.

[main rock]

I was wondering during incursion that allied alliances are allowed to attack each other bases?

[pseudo thicket]

@raw fiber @tidal notch your team did nothing for the lag and absurd targeting during incursions. Amalgam’s just seem to warp out, start attacking a base way out from the base, or they just unrealistically zip back to the base still showing the impulse garbage that you nerfed impulse speed for Arenas. The grade is an F for the supposed improvements we were promised.

[chrome apex]

Hallo Leute ich grüße euch alle Gibt es auch Deutsche Server bei Discord mit Startrek Fleet Comand?

[finite raft]

@tidal notch what's up with the sketchy cooldown on ship abilities...sting, cherrio, cloak... etc use em once maybe twice then the cooldown stalls at 00s

[coarse sundial]

lag spike 114

[surreal otter]

Yup got that fancy trash can otw to sell meanwhile I'm getting forced to restart my client after 2 whales attack my base at nearly 2am, allowing them to scoop instead of being able to move or shield. Thanks guys!

[brazen prism]

Scopely comes again with a new ship. I haven't even had time for the three previous special ships yet. This remains the biggest problem; the higher in OPS and the longer you have played this game, the longer it takes for a special ship to provide improvement or not really enough. Why should I use that ship if I can do solo wave G6 with my G6 ships plus cube without any problems? So yeah; tell me Scopely? Why shall we spend many weeks, months on something new that maybe gives improvement,,. It's the same with that previous new ship, pointless and useless. My G5, G6 and cube ships are making mincemeat of the new formation armadas with zero problems. When it takes ages for high G5 players and G6 players to get the new stuff high enough to get it work. In short; not fun, irritating and why 🥴

[warm zinc]

Lag 164

[rigid flare]

does anyone else have issues with the battle simulator? mines completed 3xs in each but says progress to claim, whole things under the field training section

[woeful rapids]

oh look, ANOTHER new ship. Here's to hoping they reduce the length of the f2p path for this one like they said in the Q&A... just give us 10 bps a day and be done with it, the people who buy it on day 1 are still gonna buy it

[molten shell]

Lag is bad. Taking more than the usual 45 minutes to open chests because of this buuuulllllllll

[haughty umbra]

[celest summit]

@finite mural can u get [OURS]greatwizardofours info my server wants to send him a gift basket.... lol

[vocal tinsel]

You are not in the position to teach me. I explained facts to you. Still waiting for your screenshot via DMs.

[odd berry]

we are not playing cards here 🙂

[haughty umbra]

Scroll up and you'll see them. I don't need to dm you. "Facts" 🤣🤣

[haughty umbra]

Did you find the post?

[old seal]

So a new interceptor specifically for solo waves, next arc crew for said interceptor then an explorer, followed a battleship....next 4-6 months sorted 😂

[cosmic knoll]

dont forget, it will be a G4 ship for G5 players. just to give G5 a nice g4 mat experience

bet the parts refinery will also be g4 until tier 5? making sure what its used for will take months.

[stuck jay]

Im going to go ahead and put it out there that the Incursions store and rewards are garbage. 24 hours of work for a handful of Lower Deck shards (or whatever)? If you win, you can get a couple more officer shards? This could be an awesome avenue to increase engagement by offering some of the harder to source items (think Alliance tourneys or Arenas)...

[timid sphinx]

We have too many shield nudists on s93 that have players either demoralized/defeated or just completely disenfranchised with regards to Incursions. The entire server will lose because one high level player lacks shield discipline. It is what it is.🤷🏼‍♂️

[clever whale]

This weekend was the most positive experience Ive ever had for incursions, why? I acknowledged they are a waste of time and the winners are determined by the top 10 players on each server, chucked some miners into a system for the defense events and got good enough rewards.

[nova sierra]

Beautiful, I can see a lot of time and effort was directed here. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

[limber mesa]

it's a movie ship, not a scopely original.

[heavy marten]

Just release the 2nd scrap queue, Scopely. Just do it. 🥳

[nova sierra]

Ah ok. Still, looks more like a bulky battleship than an sleek interceptor. But then so is the Defiant. 🤮

[swift sphinx]

Once seen can’t be unseen

[rugged hatch]

So was there performance improvements. I still had lag, game freezes after collecting refinery goodies, graphics in store and refine stopped rendering, more game freezes, inability to target Borg Beam. Did I mention game freezes?

[nova sierra]

Star Trek Lego/Adidas crossover? ^^

[limber mesa]

it's a trash collector.
should've been designated a survey ship.

[boreal ferry]

sliders for these please, especially since it takes you back to the main event store screen every time you click.

this plea coming to you from spending the last 10 mins trying to whittle down my incursion currency 🥲

[silk loom]

=BREAKING NEWS= Scopely updated their servers and are working out the kinks. Here's a photo just taken of employees tweaking the settings!

[surreal otter]

Just a random annoyance... I bought the first of the final 2 FC Slots, so I no longer had the option to go after a slot in an event store, even though there are two available. Kind of garbage, honestly, that if I want slot 5 I have no choice but to spend another hundo. Bad enough I have a couple of weapon refits that were only in one store that I can never finish, but that's a real slap in the face to an occasional spender.

[finite mural]

The event store FC slot is for the first one, the 2nd one came later.

Maybe it'll get a f2p source, but not anytime soon

[surreal otter]

Thank you for Modsplaining the same thing I just said. The only reason there's a "numerical difference" is for exactly my issue; I can't earn an earnable slot because that particular earning only applies to "this exact slot not the other one thats also locked and is also purchasable". It's crap, plain and simple.

And the second slot was added before the first one made it to the event store as far as Im aware of, so the option to allow people that bought one to earn the other was available.

[fast anvil]

it'd be great if the team can add in sliders for incrusions store or all stores in general. was turning in incursions coins and i had to click 30 times just to finish turning in all my coins for amalgam bps. its really not time efficient

[balmy shuttle]

Please put the Expansion Cube refinery back into the Borg refinery.

I'd also love to see the Starship research tree organized under Ship buttons so i don't have to scroll through everything.

[old seal]

That looks organised, logical and simple. Absolutely zero chance it bears any resemblance to Scopely. 😂

[fierce heron]

too often since weeks

[molten shell]

Please try to make your game work while you load updates in the background. Every time I see this pre arc launch, I just know the next arc is going to be buggy as sin on day one.

[balmy ferry]

COS Admiral says hello

[placid rain]

Silent token space: We just had an alliance member misclick on a player mining, whilst they were trying to farm silent hostile loot. May I suggest it was a bad idea putting token space in these systems for this reason? Token space should ideally be separate. And on that note, will there ever be more G6 token space? 36 nodes total at the moment, and these are interchangeable nodes. As more people come up to G6 this is woefully inadequate.

[fast anvil]

i think the other solution is make it so the hostiles never get close to the nodes in the first place, be it in token systems or regular systems. it isnt the only system where the hostile are able to fly so close to the nodes.

[vast lintel]

S98 horrible lag. Can’t even get chests to load for collection.

[placid rain]

Not sure how they'd code that. Surely it's just better practice to keep them separate?

[fast anvil]

thats for sure, but before silent systems there was dominian systems, its just no one uses dom systems to grind hostiles so we didnt complain about it. i believe that was why they thought throwing in nodes into silents would be ok. also there should be a way to code it as in sirius(i think this is the correct system) the hostiles are mainly moving around the system in a square trajectory, so they could apply it to silent systems as well as making them move along a squarish trajectory along the outskirts of the system would completely ignore the nodes. they just need to find the code they used for that specific system and apply it to silent

[old seal]

ANOTHER Faction Hunt...why are we being punished???????

[timid sphinx]

Or just make sure you identify your target properly prior to attacking it 🤷🏼‍♂️

[placid rain]

It wasn't me, it was someone else in my alliance. But you know dude, mistakes happen. That's just being human.

[timid sphinx]

I hear you, but idjut-proofing this game is way down on the list vs. focusing on fixing the bugs and improving the game content imho.
People make mistakes, it shouldn't require the game to change, they'll usually just find another way to mess up. Maintaining a shield while grinding will give the player the opportunity to cancel the attack on another player when you see the pop-up about losing your shield.

[carmine marten]

This flash pass with officer choice was amazing. Good officer choices, great amount of tokens. Thank you!

[placid rain]

Don't disagree. There was also the point I made about needing more G6 token nodes though, and if they do introduce them to do so without hostiles in the system that people need to grind. That was the bigger message really.

[woeful nymph]

We need more mining nodes in G6 systems. It's getting crowded, especially in 1100 ish area

[gilded violet]

And G5 as well since everyone is growing so fast

[vague mirage]

Why is the "Ahead of the Curve" points not incrementing when I "Complete Any Daily Event". Is Scopley determined that I don't get the "Admiral's Officer Recruit" prize.

[lavish dagger]

<@&509690795536941056> are upgrades for older support ships being looked at. The defiant is an armada support ship but can't get anywhere near the armadas its needed for. Titan's mat limit needs drastic increase as it is now an essential part of numerous armadas and formation armadas. you keep bringing out these new armadas, hostiles etc in deeper and deeper space but the support ships necessary for them can't get anywhere near. you need to balance the new features with the ability of ships to support them.

[gaunt raptor]

So when will we get Uncle Phil and Seth MacFarlane as playable characters? 😀

[placid roost]

I’m a brand new player in server 705 flotter and there doesn’t seem to be many low level players like me. Should I switch servers before level 12 and which servers would be the best for a new player?

[dire rose]

<@&509690795536941056> So previously you added some "Quality of life updates" since then you have added more and more 💩 clicks - I spend more time clicking in my faction and refinery than I do playing the actual game, more ships more loops more clicks... does anyone from $copes actually play the game to see what its like for players, or you too busy coming up with more content to make more $$$ to give a 💩 I don't need another ship to get parts I need to get more mats and sigma, as the refinery is so bad, your pushing everyone to ops 60+ but when you get there its a big pile of 💩 lets make the G6 ship cargo pathetic ☑️ lets make the G6 refinery worse than the G5 ☑️ - lets make the monthly pack not worth buying ☑️ if G6 is this bad then G7 is going to be even worse, why are players going to bother to upgrade, most games get better as you progress not worse!!

[fast anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> i would really like to see a feature added to convert useless ship bps into something else, it can be resources, lat or even speed ups, just let us convert ship bps into something we can actually use. no one is building more than 1 kumari, no one is building more than 1 hijacked ship yet why are we unable to do anything with the excess bps? so please pass a message over to the devs and try to push for a conversion feaeture. thanks

[delicate kite]

So much lag wow

[acoustic geyser]

What are you all doing?

[limber steeple]

why is there maintenance tonight?

[dire rose]

wow in the middle of an arena - you really are 💩

[haughty sail]

its the maintenance to prepare for the maintenance, which then will be followed by emergency maintenance for all the bugs that still are there

[old seal]

You're probably going to find Scopely dumping new ships with those tweaks rather than upgrading old ships.

[bold fox]

Well, 30 minutes was an optimistic guess I suppose

[clever arrow]

So they did maintenance but didn't put up safety shields? That's ridiculous

[keen loom]

Everyone ready for new content tomorrow while we continue to play broken content and events?

[plain dune]

There are only specific events that score, and it has them in its description.

The ones in the daily bucket (excluding faction ones) count. Then there are weekly ones that pop up throughout the week, sms and slb. These are the ones that you'll notice always fall on a specific day (like hitting Hirogen hunters).

[fast anvil]

i think the maintenance was under an hour so they thought not to? i for one was shocked to see my station unshielded after maintenance 🤣

[remote mist]

Some general feedback when it comes to FKR armadas. Waiting 15 min is too long 5 min would be nicer. Cost to speed them up 4500 armada countdown speed up Costs to speed up an unc 52 FKR ) ....... its way too much imo.

[pale garnet]

abrupt ending to the battlepass store, a few pilots never got to use them tokens

[gilded escarp]

<@&509690795536941056> if you want to make PvP more engaging, close the PvP gaps. I see your team argue that it’s essential that’s fine, but make it to where it won’t drive players away like you currently allow it. Do this, and maybe, just maybe you might get people more invested into the other shenanigans you implement for this now pay to play game instead of it being pay to progress

[fast anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> can you get them to bring back the event store, i thought i had 1 more day to spend my tokens, event store ended wayyyyy too abruptly

[kindred lotus]

Uuhhh... pretty sure we ought to still have one more day for the event store.

[clever arrow]

I guess but if was longer than 30 minutes and as we know scopely can say 30 minutes and be a long long time. It's ridiculous to do any maintenance without adding peace shields, especially when the client tells you it's still under maintenance when it's not, you have to restart etc etc. Also, put the announcement in alliance chat because my server is toxic so we mostly don't read GC...

[thick flax]

unknowingly wasted credits on these for a week should be removed once maxed

[gentle shale]

<@&509690795536941056> … can you please provide exact date/time current territory holdings are lost next week with the end of current season?

I need to keep the alliance on track for something on par with getting them out in time for Incursions (aka, the happiest time of the month 🤨).

Much appreciated.

[odd musk]

<@&509690795536941056> since when have you not provided peace/maintenance shields due to maintenance regardless of the time it takes? Or notifications not coming in post maintenance of attacks?

[tidal notch]

Post maintenance peace shields should still be happening tomorrow./

[tidal notch]

Lemme check.

[tidal notch]

TC ends in a week on April 14th, and then the reset happens on the 22nd of April.

[gentle shale]

Thank you kind sir.

[tidal notch]

Yup!

[acoustic geyser]

Disclaimer : I'm not looking for an alliance but already the new channel is a hot mess 4 posts in. 2/4 have at least their server number in their title and the others don't making it harder to actually scan the threads to see what's there in the event one on my server actually comes up.

[nova glade]

Where do I set this up

[twin cliff]

So I just have to say, it is extremely frustrating to spend $99 on a ship, another $99 on Forbidden Tech, and then to be asked to spend MORE MONEY on rods just to equip said forbidden tech!! With the cost of rods for unlocking the FT and then CT for each ship, and then equipping and swapping, you really need to make the rods more source-able without asking us to shell out another $99. Same thing with these badges. There’s never enough badges to tier up officers, its always a pain point. Ugh!!

[loud onyx]

Did you already get the loyalty packs in the f/k/r faction stores that have a bunch of badges in them?

[twin cliff]

Yup

[haughty sinew]

that is the Scopley's whole point LordVraxx, they want you to keep tossing money after more money becasue dropping 300 and then not getting anything and it looking like maybe another 100 will do the trick suckers a lot of peeps into just keep buying more. Then you have so much in the game it is hard to walk away.

[surreal vigil]

Finally got to build a paladin then lost the paladin. Not in or round the station. Now what buil anudda an loose that 2💩

[fair sentinel]

Bring into the game g5 ship scrapping please. 🙏

[twilit plover]

So they needed to setup a discord find an alliance page? For people already on a server. That has a server chat? And most servers have a server discord already?
Why ???🤦‍♂️

[fossil cedar]

Any news on any changes to territory capture services for the upcoming season

[ebon jackal]

Some players might want multiple D'vors. Also, some have both a D'vor and a Feesha, because they do two different things well. And you want to continue receiving Carol Marcus shards: she is an epic. After you max the shards they convert into transporter patterns, which can be used to get shards for different officers you might want (I currently have 40 to choose from, I think). Edit: it's 37, I just counted.

[ashen lodge]

@tidal notch you were looking for more examples

This is why I keep suggesting tripling the rewards. A few of these obvious losses would at least let me refine for a week.

Under the current circumstances I'll have to waste hours to get enough losses to refine.

[lean crypt]

What's the point in advertising your alliance on a discord in a game that doesn't allow server transfers...

[brave smelt]

<@&509690795536941056> could you add me as admiral on the "find an alliance" section.
Thank you.

[finite mural]

[errant brook]

play more or pay more - this will fix your problems.

[slow hatch]

Is maintenance in 1h and 10 minutes from now, Daylight savings ended for me recently and I think there is some confusion in my alliance on the start time

[errant brook]

look at the post: #⭐-official-announcements message

Maintenance is displayed in your local client time - not always but this time it is.

[slender monolith]

It’s one of those things Discord should make easier, most of us don’t speak Unixtime

[hollow blaze]

I don't know...
I feel pretty good at Ops64 and I didn't buy anything (not even battle pass) since I was ops49. Edit: Just checked and last time I spent money was in the end of 2023.

Now the only "premium" things I have (and there is no f2p way to get those) are the 7th drydock, 2nd builder and researcher. Not a big boost on game, maybe now at G6 it is. Also wasn't expensive.

[acoustic geyser]

OK I'm going to say it... Mad respect @raw fiber for having the patchnotes out when downtime starts

[ruby apex]

Since september 2024 we have heavy Windows-Gameapp crashes per hour at all times. Scopely done nothing to get out this problem, only they can build in every mounth many pay-things in the game... 💩 💩 💩

[hollow blaze]

Update seems pretty worthless. New ship is a garbage truck. We have plenty of special ships. New type of solo wave to make use of the new ship. Officers meh. No new ship in IA.

But watch this:
" Fixed an issue causing duplicate buffs when applying exocomps to the multipurpose slot."

Insane! After years finally it is fixed! Hopefully, of course 😅

[ruby apex]

i thing the solo-waves are concepted to not complete with standard ships .... and now it comes the payship that solve this problem. scopely thing the players are stupid

[cedar crescent]

Well people will still buy the space brick. So yeah they really do think players are that stupid

[icy umbra]

What I’m enjoying less about this game is how they are making every new ship so important that it sets you back not having it. When the Stella came in, it was a separate loop and it was novel but it didn’t really impact the core of the game. Now they are all separate loop and a refinery with options that do impact the core game/progress. it’s feeling more like blackmail than the chance to save time/shortcut. I’ve never bought a ship - my spending has always been around construction - this is the first one I feel my arm is being twisted for and I don’t like it. You need to remember all that QoL from before. Things like the dailies being done in that one system was catching up the QoL, it wasn’t putting you ahead

[dusky sage]

the new ship is Fugly, if you can even call it a ship at this point. and the last couple of ships look like they don't belong in the Star Trek universe. theyre all generic space game garbage. designers are under delivering, again. that's my opinion.

[scenic aspen]

This arc looks pretty skippable. I actually like that there's nothing worth bothering with in this arc, gives us a chance to catch up on other stuff.

[jolly verge]

Lol

[sour sky]

Not sure picking the same name, « the Junker », as the logistic backbone of the WWII Luftwaffe, was a smart choice…🤦‍♂️

[dense prawn]

?? whut.... 'Junkers' was a German plane manufacturer, trying to claim similarity to a ship tag here is a pretty ridiculous leap tbh.

[vocal tinsel]

New loop without a new IA addition is not acceptable at this point.

[warm gulch]

have enougth work with the old loops... dont buy new this time

[stone roost]

I know I'm not an expert game dev but things like this are completely useless if it doesn't tell you what the weakened effect actually does

[cedar crescent]

3 new loops since IA and none of the archives added were ones that I did anyway. Lip service to notion of saving us time

[opaque raft]

The mining countdown timer is broke. It doesnt countdown anymore but remains to have starting value

[woeful rapids]

"We're looking at ways to reduce the length of the f2p path for new ships", then goes ahead and releases the exact same f2p path for the new ship... never believe a word Scopely says, habitual liars

[dense prawn]

Dailies not scoring. Killing Klig ships, not updating the Faction Allegiance or the Hostile Harbinger totals @raw fiber @tidal notch

[lucid sage]

Yeah titan buff daily didn’t score either

[fast anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> is it possible to send in a request to change the colour of the waves? its confusing to see blue for both solo and regular waves

Game Breaking Day broken a little worse than other game breaking days, must be because they did not do full 3 hour Maintenance was only what an hour?

[fast anvil]

also is there a way to lower the amount of time needed to acquire ships f2p? if we're going to be getting more and more new ships a year then i think reducing the number of days to get the ship would be nice

[sharp salmon]

Faction hunt not working
Here we go again

[finite mural]

Did you update your game?

[finite mural]

you as well?

[dense prawn]

Yes, obviously. And restarted a few times to check. No change

[blazing plinth]

I'm getting a 15 min significant delay on daily/event scoring

[crimson elm]

100 Days to get this new ship is not always viable, Prefered the way we got the Cube, in the Battle Pass over the course of the Month

[finite mural]

Okay the scoring issue is being raised

[sharp salmon]

Yes , updated game , could not be bothered , will check in tomorrow, every damn time .

[fast anvil]

i completely agree, the best solution would be for the newest ships to appear immediately in the event store, or the best would be to get it like meridian in the battlepass. i would literally cash 30 dollars for a new ship but its scopely, so compromising would be better than nothing hence why i mentioned lowering the time needed to acquire the ship. because right now by the time we get an event store that will have the new ship, for example the revenant, most people will already have unlocked it. i already got mine f2p a few days ago and it has yet to appear in a event store

[crimson elm]

or at the very least half the ship in the Battle Pass and the other half over the course of the month in the faction store its related to in a claim, or exchange for rss but at most 1 month to get a new ship not 3 Months 10 Days. And older ships, double the claim amount in the faction store or were ever you get the ship from, but acuiring the ship must be 1 month no more less would be unfair to the grind which is the game more than 1 month and the ship becomes old news and irrelevant to most things

<@&509690795536941056> pay attention to your players we have great Ideas to improve the game and to help your company get player into the higher ops where we are going to have to spend more money......

[fast anvil]

i honestly am willing to put aside some money a month if the game was better but currently its just let down after let down so it never crossed my mind to throw money into this game

[raw fiber]

can you please ping me your player ID

[nova sierra]

Same issue.. doing faction hunt, hitting romulans. All notifications on, game updated etc. have sent u my player id in case u need more.. weirdly after restarting the game, panicle of power hostile hunt sms scored

[keen loom]

Not going to happen. There is a disconnect between player satisfaction and revenue in Scopleys mind.

[crimson elm]

True it is Money Money Money, Players? They not important. MONEY. 🤣 Mr Krabs would be shocked at them and alomst give up Money

[rough belfry]

This is getting ridiculous. Can't Scopely just use some sort of lobby like arenas for solo waves? Just select the type of wave and level you want and the game sends you to the system. That would clear up this mess of systems that you can't really ever interact with.

[cosmic knoll]

got to admire scopelys dedication to flogging a dead horse (waves). if only they were as dedicated to fixing the lags, bugs, player issues.

[cedar crescent]

Can we have that for mirror systems too? 😂

[rough belfry]

I don't see why not. Clean up the galaxy view quite a bit

[rough belfry]

I actually like solo waves. There hard but rewarding and take less time than the normal waves.

[tardy sky]

Where do I send my $149.99 for the Prime Be Able To Do Dailies unlock pack?

[nova sierra]

Faction hunt finally scored.. first kill was 50mims ago..

[obsidian tree]

Latest update done. Keep getting this:

[glass sun]

Apple seems to be stuck! My IPhone won’t load but Android seems to be working

[tropic crown]

Listen to the players, good one. 😂

[keen loom]

At minimum Scopley gets credit for appropriately naming a ship based on graphical design. “The Junker.” That’s about it though.

[frigid swift]

Why does the new ship look like a dumbster?

[autumn badge]

Quality > quantity.

Also: hey, have another new ship and loop!

[keen loom]

It’s just an acknowledgment in the form of a graphic that it’s gonna be… you guessed it a dumpster fire.

[lilac ferry]

Shouldn’t these officers both be section 31 officers?

[hoary path]

Endless "Adjusting..." on PC and iOS. Another very well tested update. Good job 🚀

[astral acorn]

I'm more worried about the effects they're gonna have on PvP. Gigi can have 100% below, quasi 150% on bridge, 25% prime, and 50% CT which adds up to 325% or roughly a reduction of 77% Apex barrier for opponents

[lilac ferry]

They sell you something that breaks the game then they sell you solutions while working on how to break it again. PvP is an endless disaster that costs £100s to even feel competitive.

[timid sphinx]

Some of the Lower Decks officers are associated with Strike Crews. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[woeful rapids]

it's for synergy based on their ability, Zeph is part of S31 crew, georgiou is best suited to a hostile crew so they lumped her in with snw, and the other officer released last arc is part of ent-e crew

[half dome]

I have a suggestion for Scopely if they really want players in the 30s and 40s to move up. I believe we need more speed ups or lat to purchase speed ups in the game. Materials and rare ship parts are not the only bottlenecks. Build/research times are also a problem. You can’t spend materials on buildings/research if your cues are full. The supply can drop when players reach the desired range (G5?). I believe the current amount available is too low for players to be strong enough if they rush to lvl 50. The amount of research that will need to be delayed to push will make for weak G5s. This will cause players to not be able to do new content, compete in the arenas or have a happy game play experience.

I’m not trying to down play the build/research times in G5/G6. So no need for “it only gets worse” comments. I’m simply saying if Scopely really wants G3&G4 players to level up faster, we need all of the tools to do so, including speed ups.

[mellow loom]

So I guess we didn't prioritize stability in this update

[gilded escarp]

But PvP is essential yall! It’s super important for an ops 70 to be able to punch down to 43. Is that really essential? No, but it sure does float the egos over in Scopley management since their don’t care for what is good for their players, just their pocketbooks

[lyric otter]

Been adjusting for 2hrs on iOS now. I take it someone is looking at this?

[hollow blaze]

You are really funny! Point out just one, ONLY ONE update when they prioritised stability successfully!

[red cliff]

@tidal notch incredibly annoying new bug. a lot of claims buttons aren't disappearing once already redeemed. ends up lots of reclicks only to find its gone

[twin cloak]

I don't mind Scopely time not matching my time--DST is pretty arbitrary after all. But why can't Scopely time match Scopely time? Having events reset on 3 different hours in the morning is a real pain the ass if I you have something to do that day.

[native adder]

It also increases the risk of failing to complete some events if you confuse the resets. The number of times I’ve complained about this… but I’m yet to get a response from Scopely themselves.

[ashen lodge]

Disappointed that the hazard resistance and warp range that was discussed over the weekend was ONLY for the specialty ship.

Why can't we have it for all ships?!

Range from +10 to +100 (ops locked or locked to ship grades)

Hazard from +25% to +200% (with similar locks)

[fast anvil]

i dont think they'll ever give a universal warp increase but i do agree hazard resistance should be universal especially when theres no reason to send some ships with those specific haz res buffs into any hazard zones

[native adder]

Now you can get the currency needed for the Disco Warp Range primes in the Alliance Tournament store, I think it’s even less likely… and less necessary.

[sinful walrus]

treasury is broken, nothing higher than 3* rss

[crimson elm]

as an Ops 54 I feel Insulted at being offered G3 matts

[woeful nymph]

Treadury is broken....only 3 star...lol

[frank beacon]

Same here lol

[hallow spoke]

what the heck is with treasury. soo broken

[errant brook]

waiting for the "your treasury is empty" banner 😄

[harsh thunder]

I am not liking this BP. Uncommon ship parts in the pay section.

[tepid bramble]

Man, not that this was a free treasury time for me, but wow…talk about bad coding. Unless this is intentional, if so…lol

[finite mural]

It appears that everyone was reset to f2p for the treasury, it has been escalated.

[kindred sphinx]

The obvious fix would be to reset everyone to the 'Whale' treasury to make up for it. 😁

[coral skiff]

Can I just say that whatever you did with the treasury, don't roll it back 100% because its the first treasury my alliance mate (ops 41) is seeing. It wouldn't work and cs didn't give a dam n in several tickets saying they're working on it (for more than a year????). So whatever the fix, make sure it stays this way......

[mellow cave]

If they reset everyone to ftp for treasury, wonder what else did they reset everyone else on.

[livid veldt]

Why is treasury giving 3 * mats only?

[regal panther]

f2p treasury means only g3 mats for g6 players? i see 👀

[finite mural]

yes

[mellow cave]

Maybe scopely wants everyone to go ftp by dropping everyone down to ftp status?

[dapper bramble]

This is very misleading and borderline illigal to call this a T10 booster back when in fact you need to buy all 6 to get it to tier 10

[haughty sail]

every single arc launch something goes wrong, now the boxes that are claimed aren't going away making general gameplay annoying (on top of the lag)

[steep summit]

Launch day pack with zero materials to upgrade the new ship or get any of its research??? Really scopely??? This is really really poor. The ship is not usable at t1 and pack should have enough to make it useful. This needs fixing for all the people that support the company by buying packs!! Way too much greed. Also on android version of game, menu lag is the worst its ever been, away teams menu now faster but every other is spinning wheel for several seconds everytime you select anything

[sour hamlet]

So the „t5 acceleration pack“ for ops58 only contains 18.3k GS31 parts while we actually need 24.5k to upgrade it to t5 - is this „working as intended“?

[sleek sparrow]

I'm kind of glad Scopely have given up on providing arc content for under L40, at least we don't end up with loads of bugs (yet...)

[pseudo coral]

No rare mats

[rich elm]

Could not be more excited about a new refinery I will be able to use in 4 months from now. !!!

[sour hamlet]

Never mind, Scopely fixed it by deleting the „t5“ on the pack. Wow, just wow

[steady tinsel]

<@&509690795536941056>
Hello. I’m not sure if I’m posting in the right place. I would like to be able to post on ‘Find an Alliance’ for DIRE. Thank you.

[vale wasp]

You should be able to post there now.

[frank beacon]

Thanks for fixing the treasury! But it could be awesome to include rare optical diode for 61+ in the treasury

[rich elm]

RIP Annorax for me, im 80 broken rods from opening the treasury

[dark shard]

You guys locked the GS31 ship to ops 45? 🤣. You must be rolling in cash. Anyway, thanks for saving me $200. Really smart, Scoply! 👍

[earnest thorn]

Correction. You're $100 away from opening the treasury

[rich elm]

Yeah, no, I might consider buying packs if they actually make them into microtransactions and not requiring an expenditure account.

[old plover]

@tidal notch when are you guys going to fix people getting kicked from the game when starting wave defences. Just started an elite one, went to attack and then the game "quit" and was then preparing. Got back on and hey I've lost on wave 1

[earnest thorn]

I sent a ticket. They said they know its an issue and refunded me the tokens, plus a small compensation

[kindred sphinx]

I am sorry but anyone who even watched a little of the Section 31 movie (regardless of whether you liked it or not) would not have made Alok a rare officer and Quasi an Epic officer. Complete FAIL.

[proven hound]

@tidal notch @raw fiber <@&509690795536941056>
What exactly are those fixes including in treasury?
Still got a G3 loot at OPS60

[woeful nymph]

the problem was that there was ONLY G3 loot before....lol

[finite mural]

The fix was that players were reset to a f2p treasury, if you're still seeing that after the fix, you've never bought a rod or got grandfathered in

[pale garnet]

without parts, your new s31 ship is a joke and a farce, and a catch 22 joke to get parts, do waves it is incompetent to do to get parts, so get ,,,,,,, just to try and get parts or get scammed out of hundreds of quids to buy parts, what a farce

[old plover]

Thanks I've done that. To say that wave defence has been around as long as it has this shouldn't be happening

[earnest thorn]

Oh yeah, 100% agree. Just like the cube not showing where it actually is. Or ship hanging between systems at 00:00.

[proven hound]

Bought the Cube BP

[finite mural]

Unless it was during the grandfathering period, doesn't matter.

[indigo hazel]

pay to win garbage that rewards players who haven't paid for anything. good job scopely.

[proven hound]

There is absolutely no reason why I even should think of buying a rod for that p00r reward.

[finite mural]

If you want a better reward, you need to buy at least one rod

[limber mesa]

GS-31 base refinery has uncommon G4 and G6, why no uncommon G5?

[proven hound]

What the heck is a grandfathering period?

[rare vale]

Thanks for the article on the GS31 refinery. I wasn't going to buy the ship anyway, but the article solidified it. Even if someone maxes the ship, they get a whole 65 rare G6 ship parts. That's nothing. Completely laughable. "Best source of ship parts" is a joke... and all of that is assuming you have thousands to spend to max the ship to begin with, because it will take years to max it without $$$.

[pale garnet]

don't waste your money on a pathetic new ship, get the 2 prints a day for solo wave credits, ship not worth it, don't know how they manage to do any waves with it, does nothing but die, will take over a week to grind parts for upgrades to reach tier2, can only get worse to grind parts, refinery a joke, much better refinerys from other ships, like the revenant

[orchid moss]

Was there any reminder of the event currency store and pass reward collection ending? I thought there usually was something in the news at least?

[cedar kiln]

I’m obviously missing new some research or something else new against these new solo waves. 😂

[latent timber]

How can they call this Ship the new best source for Shipparts when its refinery is utter garbage?

[desert sigil]

How come you’re so overly greedy with 5* Epic materials? Barely any sourcing other than scrapping

[warm cape]

Seriously, what is the point of buying battle pass for extra choice rewards currency if there is no epic 5*gas.

[latent timber]

S31PT2

[hexed lance]

Where is Mirror Picard? Did you really only have him for a day, April 7th? I saved up fame currency to buy him, and now that currency is useless.

[vale wasp]

You should file a ticket with CS and see if they can manually exchange them for you. #👽-how-to-contact-support

[ionic spear]

Game crash on wave start is less forgiving in a solo wave. As far I know this is not an isolated issue, and hasn't been addressed since wave defense was created.

[nova sierra]

yay ... they brought something in ... claiming they listened to us for refinery section for the new ship nobody's heard about ... the event is doing nobody any good unless we spend $100. again pushing pay to play

[jaunty prism]

Yeah but didn't you hear (for the 18th time) that it's the BEST SOURCE OF SHIP PARTS?! Seriously, please buy it, the execs need to refuel their yacht! We're begging you!

[limber mesa]

wonderful formatting on mobile, counting from 1 to 15: 1 6 11 2 7 12 3 8 13 4 9 14 5 10 15

would have been nice to know the new garbage ship's ability has a 10 second duration!
that's not enough to target 3 ships, and get to them, when you don't know which targets the beam will jump to.

[rich furnace]

GS refinery is pretty darn poor tbh, really needs a boost

[languid cloak]

Now it makes sense... Scopely can't count to 15 correctly.

1, 6, 11, 2, 7, 12, 3, 8, 13, 4, 9, 14, 5, 10, 15.

That was a weird way to write an update post.

[fair sentinel]

It’s also got a 6 min cooldown 😜

[nova sierra]

That is truly awful! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Basically buy 10x packs to “earn” the equivalent of a pack’s worth of ship parts per month by engaging in another loop… yea, I’ll stick with parts packs! 😂👍🏻

[odd prawn]

Oh it's you 👀

Seems about right ..scopely maths as usual

[crimson girder]

can we get a BP counter for things like FTs/CTs in the event store so we know how many we need to buy without jumping between 5 screens thx

[feral jewel]

It's your crew lmao. Try not depending on a speed crew

[cedar kiln]

Nah. It’s a billion power ship against a 33 million ship. Plus forbidden tech gives an 1800% damage boost and a 1500% hull boost on it. I blow up regular hostiles in the 1 billion range and the 8472 in the 5 billion range with no problem with a speed crew. I also had 45% isolitic damage reduction in the BD. It’s something else. Plus my 700 mil Corvus had the Janeway crew which is beast and it did the same thing. I did notice these new ships have enormous isolitic damage, 100 million per hit. That could be it. But if that’s the case, everyone will be in same situation. I need to check out the new research too.

[cedar root]

tier 4 was killen 52 (2.5b) revant hostiles without the weakenbuff on it I used borg mitigation crew on it

[sullen portal]

For g4 the elite solo wave are a bit over tuned, mostly the level 50 syndicate reavers, with 291% iso defense they still do 168m damage to hull with the first shot. The pilum doesn't even have 200m hull and g4 rares are the highest faction ship for these waves.
The gs-31 beam at T3 (ops locked) do just 8m damage, they have 75m so you can't kill them with the new ship either...

[surreal vigil]

Nice goin, the game broke me laptop, Froze loadin 60%, there's a good game 🤬💩

[vale wasp]

What round is that?

[hollow sundial]

The syndicate reaver ships are impossible - they mitigate 98% of all iso damage and any standard damage that makes it through initial mitigation get nullified by the apex barrier… from 2.35b shots, just 35m gets through. Also, the ‘weakened’ state doesn’t change the mitigation numbers at all. In round 3 there are six of them so it’s impossible to get past that round for me as I can’t even kill one of them.

[sullen portal]

wave 3 - 45 elite, one of the 3x reaver level 50
without iso defense they throw 2.3B iso damage

[lucid plover]

its definitely a you need the new ship to do type of mechanic

[vale wasp]

During the fight though, what round was that shot?

[lucid plover]

i myself am taking 80-100m iso damage from the 45 Syndicate Reavers per shot. Died first round. My iso defense is 144%. Janeway/Doc/Kuron

[umbral ocean]

If only that was actually true. My gorn ship refinery gives better ship parts outputs. Also only enough to do one ship type per day? I was expecting it to be like the rev for parts. This is WEAK

[sullen portal]

that's just the 45 reavers, the 50 reavers deal ~8x more and there are 3 in wave 3.

[lucid plover]

the iso damage is too high thats for sure, i dont see how anyone is suppose to realisitcally deal with it.

[open mason]

Personal feedback, the arcs have been getting worse and worse. I liked the revenant, I liked the relativity. This ship and arc have, like the movie it is tied to, is complete garbage.

[graceful lotus]

Good job adding new ship sourcing to the s31 store. I was pleasantly surprised!

[dire rose]

@tidal notch @raw fiber <@&509690795536941056> Wow a massive cash grab, with an event that requires the new ship, I have G6 ships but cannot complete the normal lvl 60's never mind the elite, so I have to buy the new ship $$$ to try and complete the events, probably need to $$$ to get the ship[ upgraded in order to do this, once I have the new ship I will have another refinery option so I can spend even more time clicking buttons, after you previously added some "Quality of life improvements" - now you seem to keep adding more "waste of time features" what a pile of 💩

[copper pecan]

Disappointed with the GS-31 and feel like I was sold on a lie.

1. This may be 'better' parts sourcing for G5/G6, but in G4, it doesn't compare favorably to the Eviscerator in any way. The T3 rare payout is worse than a T4 Eviscerator, and at least to start, I can do the Eviscerator pull every day. I cant kill the second wave of hostiles in the Elite Solo Wave defense at 47.
2. I also can only pull parts for one ship class, so not only do I get very little, I can only progress that tiny amount on one type of ship.
3. Looking at my pilum, Id need another 32 days to get the last two upgrades I need to tier up, assuming I had a T3 GS-31 and the resources to fuel it.

[hoary sierra]

Maybe the problem is my level, only being 48. But I am already ready to shelve the GS-31, and already regret buying it. Using the same limited ciphers for both regular and elite solo waves means I have to choose which to run, every time I run the elite means one less regular solo wave I can run, and you don’t even get extra for owning the ship.

I can easily and reliably clear all 3 waves of a level 45 solo, but getting destroyed repeatedly by wave 2 in elite, not even able to reach wave 3. So I am losing a TON of tokens every time when I try running elite, for the hope of upgrading a ship. So I am stuck either trying to upgrade the ship, or trying to earn section 31 loot.

I keep seeing people suggest running the next tier down, but there is nothing below 45. If it used different ciphers, no big deal just slowly work up the ship. But at this point it feels like just keep running regular solo wave defenses and ignore upgrading the ship until I reach the 50’s and build a G5 ship is a better approach. I would have been better off not buying the ship and instead slowly earn it over the next 100 days, it’s not like it’s getting upgraded or used anytime soon.

[copper pecan]

Same, its crazy that the 45s are super easy for me, the elites feel insurmountable, and the 50s cant even be attempted. Needing to run 3 Elite Wave Defenses since I cant get through Wave 2 to pull both the recruit and ship currency/parts is wild.

[pale garnet]

50s are worse, needed t6 ops 56 ships to get past the 5 waves

[dense prawn]

No and not going to accept any friend requests from you either thanks. It updated overnight so I guess it was just the usual sloppy update causing lag because nothing was tested properly yet again.

[grave quest]

i am extremely annoyed and frustrated and dow right angry that (ops 61) the choice rewards do not include g5 epic gas! There is no reason to be THAT stingy with it.

[lyric zealot]

Hey Scopely, it is time to add more officers that can be bought with Transporter Patterns. I've run out.

[errant girder]

Yeah i watched a video of a lvl 56 going into the elite 45 with 3 700mil ships and he was barely making it past round 2 and always dying in round 3. If a 56 can't beat the elite 45 how the frick do they expect a 50 or 53 to do it. Bought the ship because the ship is specifically designed for solo waves and even the ship doesn't survive round 2 of the elite 45. I feel so happy by the fact that scopely scammed me out of $100 for a ship that is completely worthless.

[fast anvil]

it seems this has been happening more and more for me, need to continuously reset the game just to access the refinery tabs events store faction store etc. lag? or is some bug?

[feral jewel]

I was ops 45 beating them with tier 7 , uncommon 4* ships. its in your research and favors and crewing. For crews I use an even mix of mitigation, hull breach and critical damage/chance. Focus the first 2 rounds on killing all hostiles in round 3 only worry about killing 4 of the 6 and you'll beat it. Tonight for the first time i killed all hostiles in all 3 rounds. No boosts or exo comps. My crews are still the same and my ships are tier 9 and im ops 46

[nocturne prawn]

so at the end of the new mission Quasi says he is giving you some blueprints for the new ship... but there doesnt seem to be any blueprints for the new ship ...

[violet elm]

Yeah only some ship parts 👀

[tired plaza]

loving the new ship, don't change a damn thing about it except maybe the look.. new parts refinery is very garbage though

[quick flume]

Since new content keeps coming plse give us more ways to earn/ save materials for titan/cerritos/defiant buffs.

[hollow sundial]

Further to this - the new ship doesn’t work either if you buy it so don’t bother until Scopely make adjustments… a GS-31 ship with research (£300 so far spent - ship/research/parts packs) the ship cannot even scratch a 65 Orion ship in round 2 of the 60 elite solos and I cannot even complete the events in game which requires clearance of waves 1,2 & 3) - cannot get even remotely close to killing a single ship in wave 3 with any of my ships so wasting time with the new ship. The ship parts are meh - certainly don’t subscribe to the it’s the best sourcing of ship parts ever sales tag… The ship ability has a 5m cooldown so cannot be used more than once per wave and even if you do use it, it doesn’t seem to work or make any difference to the mitigation stats of the Syndicate Reaver ships so aside from the small level of hull damage it does, I cannot see any benefit to the ships ability either - the “weakened state” isn’t working as intended I guess? 🤷‍♂️ The Revenant was a masterpiece and was worthy of investment and is a genuine game changer and was the best sourcing of materials - this one is not the same for ship parts, despite being sold as such. Very unimpressed at this stage!

[lethal sedge]

Pulling anything from the faction store, the refinery or the other packages (gifts, artifacts, recruit...) takes so long and is really annoying. This really needs some attention. There are some huge performance issues.

[drifting fulcrum]

Well I'm really enjoying this new update, was it meant to be the S31 update or the spinning wheel of waiting update? As this is my experience now, it's just taken me 20mins + to collect my faction and refinery freebies.

[low narwhal]

My 3 top pieces of feedback so far: 1. Lag has gone through the roof. Collecting daily pulls and chests was almost unplayable today. 2. The 60 solo elites have been scaled incorrectly. No damage in wave 2 yet die instantly in wave 3. 3. The length of time required for this research is unacceptable for 100%

[hollow sundial]

80d’s of Sigma?! 😂😂 aka 120m Latinum - total joke. There are several key areas that have not been tested / thought through this arc

[finite mural]

it has been raised

[languid tinsel]

a lot of LAG when claiming had to restart my client like 6 times already and im only half way done claiming after almost 30 minutes!!

[fallen spear]

Game is very buggy today (more than usual)- always getting stuck/freezes in between screens. Highly unresponsive. 🙄

[fair sentinel]

So I purchased the new ship...

Here's my experience for others considering it...

1. The ship itself is junk .. don't attack anything in the waves with it. Until its tiered up considerably
2. Its new ability has a 6 min cooldown so you'll get to use the ability once maybe twice during a wave and then not again.. The ability does nothing at lower end tiers and its damage is terrible
3. It needs to be used in the elite solo wave and survive the wave for it to count points in the SMS. Hence don't attack anything with the new ship, else it will likely die and you wont score.
4. The Refinery is currently toilet. I'm hoping its changed but gaining a few officer shards and possibly enough materials to upgrade one component of the Garbage ship per day is terrible. It would take months and months to upgrade before its useful currently. Refinery parts wise its ok but its not gonna make a dent in parts you need when a ship component needs 1000's
5. My advice... unless something changes, complete a 45/50 Elite solo and gain the materials now for when you get the ship in the future from the daily chest and can use those materials in the refinery

[molten shell]

I just want to open the chests that take too flipping long to open.

[civic haven]

It was so nice for a brief period when alliance gifts actually contained something useful (event store currency). I’d love to see that more regularly!

[solemn vigil]

If you are adding a new ship, archive an old one...

[astral acorn]

@tidal notch @raw fiber just wanted to give my feedback for the arc thus far. I'll start with the positives first

1. Event store has some good additions like Lorca, Lorca SP, and Prime Orbit particles
2. I love that mission keys give event store loot (unlike last time) and the new meta gives a really good amount as well
3. I like the solo waves event to get extra solo creds and now some Prem dust

Now some gripes I have

1. As much as I'm a fan of more waves, I hate that you need the new ship to do it unless you're ops 70 who don't even need the ship. It's not that the ship makes its easier, the content makes having the ship mandatory.
2. Despite an official rep of Scopely saying they'd look at sourcing of ships, the new ship is a 100 day grind which not only is the opposite of what that representative said but also is counterintuitive to Scopely's goal to push us up ops. These ships are necessary for growth and players are going to stop moving ops til they get those ships.
3. The new ship's refinery for ship parts isn't what was advertised as "the top source across all grades" this statement is only true for g6 players otherwise Gorn Eviscerator pays out more rare ship parts which are what we care about below g6 as uncommon and common ship parts are easy to get. The common and UC parts are just marginally better but again not the parts a majority of players actually need.
4. Why doesnt the new ship give extra solo waves starts akin to what the NSEA Protector did with MU last year, seems odd to exclude it
5. Lastly, it's month 2 of apex shred being released and we already have access to a total of 325% that essentially eliminates 77% apex barrier. That's too much PvP shred in 2 months

[keen loom]

The Junker is just a cash grab. What did you really expect? Something useful on day one without a wad of cash? Should know this company better by now.

[rich cypress]

The GS31 is trash. It looks like trash, it does not help you at all in solo waves (unless you tier it up substantially). Ops 50-60 should not consider it as you need to kill elite solo wave to get loot required to tier up the worthless mess.
Listen to everyone here and ignore this blatant waste of $$$$$

[leaden junco]

So this new ship is awful. I regret the money I spent on it. No way at all for an ops 60 player to clear the 3rd wave requirement with it to claim the quarterly store currency unless you spent $700 to max out the ship. This is absolutely atrocious and the fact that the last tier, it takes 54 days per upgrade....do better.

[low narwhal]

@tidal notch @raw fiber Why were vindicator parts not added to the event store? The revenant bps and parts have been added but still no vindicator parts despite it being an older ship

[cunning python]

The GS-31 is rubbish. It cannot be upgraded unless you are prepared to spend $$$ or are able to defeat all waves of the Elite Solo Wave (ESW). I unsuccessfully tried three ESWs with the GS-31, and was unaware of the 5 min. cooldown of the Gravitational Blast. I can't even last beyond Wave 3 of a normal Solo Wave, let alone the 1st Wave of an ESW. I am a newly-arrived L51 for the record. Like @leaden junco , I regret spending AUD$149.99 on this useless object. If I was able to, I would ask for my money back. Unfortunately, I can't. I will write this purchase off as another STFC lesson in stupidity. 🤬 🤬 🤬

[brisk ibex]

At this point agree, a friend talked me into buying it due to my OP’s growth being stalled by ship parts, but this is shockingly disappointing

I haven’t had buyers regret this bad in year

[raw ibex]

Connection issues this morning are terrible. Constantly getting booted and restarting. Cost me 2 solo waves. 200 starts

[hollow sundial]

They have 2 and a bit days to fix it or they need to gift this event which is not possible to complete for vast majority of players and completing them completely for 99.9% of the players in the community… i.e. ops 70 with a maxed GS-31.

[leaden junco]

Same here. They need to gift this one out to anyone who bought this pile of garbage. The only silver lining is it does give you ship parts and S31 georgiou. This was not a very well thought out arc. Truly terrible and I don't flood this channel with negativity either. Krenim was AMAZING, solo waves part 1...terrific, but this....this is terrible and everything from the ship parts you get from strong box all the way to the clear wave 3 with the new ship reward needs to be reevaluated before they lose a whole lot of paying players over this.

[umbral ocean]

GS-31 is the worst ship you have ever released, congrats on the all-time low.

[brisk ibex]

You really have a point.
There is no daily drip or weekly SMS for ship parts for the GS-31.
Solo wave starts are 1 per 3 days if memory serves, and even completing the second wave on the 45 Starts seems impossible for some mid 50’s from what I’m hearing,

That means you are giving up completion of a standard solo wave and that full reward for the minimum reward and only enough refine materials for once every few days..
that means even the argument it will improve over time doesn’t work.

The ship can’t perform any of the tasks it was billed as being able to do.
It can’t compete in the elite solo waves out of the box
It can’t refine its own ship parts, officers, or G# ship parts
All because it can’t compete in the solo waves it was billed as being specialized for

<@&509690795536941056>
Not trying to be annoying and overly ping you all, but this is really unacceptable

[wet fiber]

Generally i can't be asked anymore to buy these useless ships, why you keep making these G4 ships is beyond me when most of the players on my server are in G5 and G6 already, i'm 66 myself and still the Evi is completely useless, Vindicator collecting dust not able to reach G6 space, Relativity stuck for ages before it can do anything with the solos or formations, NSEA is still not there to be able to hit 60s in mirror space, it goes on and on and it's just the most disgusting money grab to get any ship up to speed. It's just your way to adjust things you already messed up and give the players ship parts with some research to up your efficiency, but the ship itself is always completely useless.
What i would love is for a quality of life arc, where you finally fix all the previous bugs and get things back on track, but this always goes into deaf ears because you keep throwing new content at us that 1. Doesn't work and 2. Is literally useless. But as always 🎶 It's all about the moneyyyy, it's all about the dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb (gaming company) 🎶

[raven blade]

@low narwhal where did you find the Gs-31 research and how did you go about unlocking it

[low narwhal]

Its in the starships tree. Thats not my screenshot, I haven't got that far

[brisk ibex]

Research is going to be locked as well, since unless you are spending for upgrade packs it’s more or less impossible to clear OP’s appropriate Elite Solo waves

[leaden junco]

What truly needs to happen when they release a new ship, and I know this is 'crazy' to think, but as a reward to players who are higher levels when they release a new ships, Scopely should sell 'G4' and 'G5' packs for $100 and in those packs are all the ship parts you'll need to tier the ship past g4 in the g4 pack and past g5 in the g5 pack. The catch is you have to be ops 51+ for the g4 pack and 61+.for the g4 and g5 packs. I would do that 100% of the time..its an investment based on what money and time has already been spent in the game when you get to those higher levels. G6 players cannot honestly be expected to spend $700 each time a new ship comes out to level it to where we need it.

[cunning python]

Starships tree, at the far right-hand side

[low narwhal]

What is 'ops appropriate' though? These are clearly not set up as a G6 player should be doing 60 elites and G5 should be doing 50 elites, despite the silly and misleading events. I'm 67 and die immediately in wave 3 of the 60 elites but clearing the 50 elite gives me more than a normal 60 solo

[brisk ibex]

From my understanding of the waves..
Marking a wave as 45 would indicate G4, 50 would be G5, hence why you need to be OP’s 50 to even attempt one…
So needing G5 Epics to complete the 45 solo Elite wave doesn’t make sense, especially since G5 players don’t seem to be able to complete the 50 Elite Solo wave even with the new ship

[low narwhal]

Are you basing that on the events? Because waves have never been set up like that. G5 players weren't beating the 50 group waves at launch

[leaden junco]

Also, to further prove it's not just negative feedback, I'll give massive credit for the quarterly store new additions. Very good selections there. But @tidal notch definitely see my above comments on some massive areas of improvement needed immediately to rectify the issues presented by the new arc.

[brisk ibex]

I feel like that’s a partially valid point,
People who spent enough could complete the 50 waves during the arc, if they spent enough to buy some of the section 31 favors, we had bigs atleast making it to wave 8 if I’m remembering correctly.

But the standard waves didn’t have a ship specifically sold as “specializing” in the Elite Solo Waves, which it’s not possible to get the resources for players of lower OP’s ranges to upgrade or take advantage of its refineries.

Heck from what I’ve been reading here it seems like the majority of mid 50’s can’t complete the 45 Elite solo waves, which makes the drip of parts for the ship to upgrade it unreasonably slow considering Solo wave starts are what 1 every 3 days?

[fallow lake]

ESW are very difficult currently and that's a good thing. SW took some account catch-up to complete successfully. We all should know not to buy g4 specialty ships as g5/g6 players. You buy artifacts, research, and favors. Stabilize the loop and wait for the ship for free. 3 month old content is easy. When you get the ship f2p, you'll be able to use it. Just be patient with your account.

[errant girder]

New ship is a total scam, scopely basically defrauded everyone who bought this ship. They should do the decent thing and start refunding the money people spent on a ship they can't use.

[idle hull]

why does this NPC want me to travel to the next systems if it could just spawn it right there we are XD...this woman costs me 1-2min every time of my life...my wife costs me already enough lifetime i dun need another woman stealing my lifetime duh

[thorny cave]

<@&509690795536941056> Please add Admiral role to my discord account for STAR Alliance in server 72. Please let me know what additional info is needed for this request. Thanks!

[round sapphire]

This is a complete joke 🙈🙈 1 double pull of the lockbox to the be able to do 1 pull of 1 of the 4 ship types and for pitiful amounts of parts 💩💩💩💩💩

[astral acorn]

Another problem, why is it a 3 month grind for new ships when they want us to push ops. Players aren't going up in ops cause they wait for the ships, if this is modified then players will move up quicker

[fallow lake]

The cost per day is not enough to call it a grind. Even though it's a 3 month wait for newest ships, I'm still able to interact with the new content/loops. And, since I haven't bought a ship since the protector, I'm getting new ships at the same rate as someone who buys all the ships. Ship parts are not needed for ops growth. 11 chest pulls 2x daily for g4 mats are helpful for ops growth. Why isn't anyone praising that month long event?

[copper pecan]

Being 100% honest, I've been in the 40s for 2 months(47 now), and I've not yet been in a situation where I was held back by ore gas or crystal. It's nice, but scopely missed the mark on what makes me decide to upgrade ops.

[rigid latch]

Looks like another maintenance is needed 🤦

[split field]

Why is it that NO ONE below level 55 can get beyond the 2nd wave of the elite 45?

[astral acorn]

1. Having a 100 day path for every specialty ship means you'll be 3 months behind on content, which doesn't seem bad except you never catch up on content
2. Interacting with new content is different from full engagement
3. Ship parts may not be directly tied to ops, but their are a necessity for growth, or are you running around with a t2 Ent D allegedly completing content
4. Some players praised the g4 event last week, but all it really does is rush people to g5 and they don't have the ships to do g5 content anymore and may players predict that this is the start of what scopely's intention to release g7 this year and possibly cut off g4 from future content. Again, specialty ships would be required to actually progress properly, fkr ships are required which requires SHIP PARTS, and yes mats are required but that just means out of 3 problems Scopely only bothered to address one of them for g4 players

[solemn vigil]

There are way too many refineries now, time to archive at least 3

[astral acorn]

Hopefully not like they did amalgam, I was getting more exos prior to the IA mastery every day and they ruined it

[fallow lake]

1. I don't have the relativity and I'm loop stable with the currency. I'm not behind on content if I'm able to stabilize the loop.
2. it did feel great to have the protector day one and participate in the leaderboards. That feeling only costs $100 because I was ops 44 or so. At 60, you can't fully engage for $100 and that's a very valid concern brought up by many players.
3. I spent 3 months at 50 building up the Tribune and did not build another faction ship until the g5 epics. I wouldn't recommend this path to anyone, but I was able to move straight up in ops without spending g5 ship parts or mats. My Tribune made it to max tier around ops 55 with the eviscerator refinery.
4. just move up to 51+. You can start completing the monaveen and Voyager IAs and get enough RSS, parts, and mats to grow comfortably in g5.

[main bison]

@moderator please adjust my privileges and rights to those of an Admiral. Thank you.

[keen loom]

I don’t know about the rest of you, don’t you think this quiz show is so exciting? You know, the pomp and circumstance given to fluff. Just think if all that creative energy was poured into fixing issues, and taking feedback seriously, what the game might become….

[naive tiger]

What is the point of a community feedback survey on day 2 of an arc when you have to purchase all the content to be able to answer most of the questions?

Might as well just send it to the whales who bought all the new stuff....

There isn't even an option for "Don't know, don't have the content yet"

[lusty basin]

It’s not ideal waiting 24 hrs in between responses from CS. I get time zones but waiting a day in between responses is not working when trying to resolve issues, especially when it’s time bound or if money has been spent

[tribal wind]

They're probably getting swamped by people like me who want their money back for the useless new ship.

[coarse sundial]

why do survery if socpey going do what they want and not what we need like bug fixes

[cunning python]

I've just been on the Live Chat for Xsolla asking for a refund - they've submitted a refund request, but I don't know if that will be approved.

[cunning python]

I'm not a whale, but I gave $copely a piece of my mind when I completed their survey. Basically canned anything associated with GS-31 and Elite Solo Waves.

[coarse sundial]

I would slimple just do bps only now if all rest some point going be ftp once socpey stops getitng money and finds out why may be they start looking at fixing the game may be

[tropic crown]

Another event store and the ways to earn currency are less again!

[fluid mist]

thats just how ot seems from past 5 event stores we get less and less ways to earn because they gate event store loot behind primes or new ship events. Which I understand but dont make the ftp players suffer from lack of loot because they dont shell out 100-1k a month let's be serious scopley you need both groups to keep this game going the whales to keep the lights on and the ftp to make whales feel happy about the money they spend rofl.

[valid willow]

Hi not much point in sending free to play players your survey, you only care about the opinion of the pay players and the rest of us are torn apart by the lack of rewards. As you do not care, I refuse to provide you constructive feedback. You need to review your core practices if you want to keep bleeding players of their cash

[rich cypress]

The GS31 was/is a blatant cash grab. It would have been better if Scopely just put a $300-700 price
On it ( to make is slightly useful) . GS31 is a trash ship- don’t get sucked in

[tribal wind]

Yep, huge regret and they've refused to refund me. I don't expect it to be amazing right out of the box, but it needs to do something at least a little bit helpful.

[keen star]

20 minutes into daily clicks and pulls from the faction stores and refineries; for the love of god please address this, it's ridiculous.

[graceful zodiac]

As a OPS 61+ player I find it very frustrating do to the G6 Mining dailies. I am on one of the oldest servers(8) and there is a good population of 61+ players. Finding an open node can be extremely difficult. I have had to NX journey to ops 68 systems and relocate my base at times just to do a simple daily mining task. This has a VERY NEGATIVE impact on the Quality of Life in the game. Please add more G6 crystal/gas/ore mining nodes to the 61-63 systems.

[tepid bramble]

I am on 8 as well, and hearing from all the 61+ folks I am PURPOSELY not going to 61. I am holding at 60. That g6 crap can stay where it is, NOT in my dailies.

[hasty vault]

I think that the developers messed up and the GS-13 should have been an explorer based on current in game content, lol.

[sharp salmon]

Kremlin formations are they registering in the faction store , I don’t think so , have done 2 off , no change

[proud narwhal]

biggest complaint with the new ship is I'm forced to do elites for less rewards to level up the new ship, rather than doing normal solo waves and getting MORE rewards (Can clear elite 50 to wave 3, normal 50 to wave 5), Elite solos should be it's own cipher

[sharp salmon]

Once I saw all the packs on the Dump Truck ship , I backed out , what does the refinery give you ?GS-31

[solemn vigil]

Please archive more stuff please it's too much

[swift sphinx]

Quit your job, this is your job now.

[leaden junco]

@tidal notch very small start on the comp chest, at least it's a step in the right direction. What are they going to do about this that most players can't beat?

these 3 missions give them

giving you the exact mission name that gives you the datapads and how to get those missions doesn't help you at all?

[fringe terrace]

elite solo wave fail , cleared wave 1 , got no credit, wth did they do to the ticket making process? cant figure out how to make a ticket. i guess they really DONT want feedback

[finite mural]

you click the mission and scroll down the list to the first part of the chain

[finite mural]

You're not even looking at what i posted

I posted the 3 missions that give them, you look at the chain and click the first mission in the chain and go to the planet

Clearly not as the link lists the 3 missions that give them and all the prior missions that lead up to it. You have the information in front of you, if you're refusing to actually do anything with it, that's on you. And i suggest you fix your attitude.

[tired plaza]

At the same info again I see.. thanks for your patience keeping us informed.. if only scopes could make your life a touch easier by directing the players in game 😅

[odd heart]

So I bought the new Ship (praying it wasn't another Kremin), was digging it so much, was about to bounce for the leveling Pack, only to find it's super LEVEL LOCKED, even abilities are Ops Level Locked!!!!!

What is wrong with you guys, how do you charge Premium prices and give Welfare functionality???????

[fast anvil]

I think adding more pve officers like Janeway and her synergy into the ultra recruit box would be nice, giving her better sourcing since she's one of the best pve officers right now especially since the arcs are focusing more on pve instead of PVP. the PICARD crew being added is honestly, for me, one of the worst additions to the box in probably forever and the 3 officers could've been replaced with other officer sourcing tbh

[amber heron]

The game runs so badly on my iPhone and nothing has changed since the update. I can't even collect crates smoothly. But the main thing is that the scopley store runs smoothly.

[autumn badge]

Never be an early adopter. Wait until some other clown pays for the ship, and then wait for them to write what you just did!

[quaint nimbus]

Same for me … game takes about 2 Mins to open crates 🤦🏻‍♂️

[finite mural]

there are no epic ship parts

[grim gust]

Ah yep it's epic G# I'm waiting on

[hollow plover]

i am not happy with the GS-31 as well as the tuning of elite solo waves

[grim gust]

Shame its not capable of killing the things it was built to kill for who knows how long.

[prime socket]

Been seeing this a LOT more often since the last update. Makes collecting Faction Store/Refinery much more tedious. And those are bad enough to begin with.

[pseudo coral]

Same 😅

[sturdy crater]

Hey look, I‘ve got the same screen! 🤣🤬

[polar crest]

Serene ripples upon a pond. How placid.

[odd heart]

Wise words!

[keen loom]

Have we put the Junker in the garbage disposal yet? Gone back to the drawing board with focuses on player satisfaction and game code stability? The answer is no, naturally. Worth pointing out.

[final plinth]

So you decided to retroactively reward the parts required for upgrading the new ship to T5. While I appreciate this move for the players affected, I now personally feel left out as I wasn’t buying the pack as its content were not what was previously advertised and I was waiting if scopely corrects the mistake. I would buy the pack if it was changed for the remainder of the 6 days however how this situation is handled feels unjust and not customer friendly

[fast tartan]

This is also one of those screens you can see a lot recently

[solemn vigil]

Can you archive some things and add rare tactical cores to events or into the special currencies section?

[placid rain]

where can I find badgy bot?

[remote roost]

please make the reset time of dailies and events as it was at the same time and use summertime for EU servers as it always has been , this is ridiculus as it is now .

[fast anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> i think people asked for this before but are we ever getting a scrapping button? why must i rush building my scrapyard just to scrap another ship, why not just add a scrapping button. i dont see needing to rush a shipyard to the next level just to build another ship

[inland panther]

Not sure where to post/ask about this, but i just got this email. I am literally in the game and have been for about an hour

[slender monolith]

Me too!

[odd prawn]

@tidal notch sent you a DM about a potential phishing scam using scopely / stfc. Please check asap

[slender monolith]

Is it that email above?

[inland panther]

I am going to treat is as phishing until otherwise told

[odd prawn]

Yeah it screams phishing scam to me. Id urge everyone to not click it <@&509690795536941056> you fight wanna get ahead of this one

[stark forum]

Same email as Rexcaliber. It probably isn't phishing unless Scopely has suffered a data breach as the email address I used is unique. However, the opaque sendgrid link doesn't help build confidence.

[kindred prairie]

It's a real email.

[tidal notch]

Pinged you.

[stark forum]

Assuming it is legitimate, it's a strange thing to send to someone that's signed into the game and web store every day for several months. Might want to double-check that activity tracking. If it's based off telemetry via Google Analytics (which I see in the logs), that's blocked by my DNS resolver.

[odd prawn]

I've been told it is...but I'm just waiting on blood test results to confirm the confirmer of it's legitimacy is legitimate.

We are testing for cheese and jalapenos in his bloodstream

[halcyon coral]

This is email address so if it’s phishing they done a good job getting a scopely email address.

Like others I got it but login every day and don’t see no extra missions in game anyway

[tidal notch]

Some players that are active that are getting the email will probably be because you have an alt account.

[tidal notch]

Its a legit email.

[vast nest]

If you close out and reopen do you get the rewards?

[inland panther]

no

[odd prawn]

If they're using different emails, different scopely IDs and different devices how would you know it's an alt 👀🤔

[hallow cliff]

Can you please remove the Rep gain options in DTI and Bajoran Faction Stores when the Max Reputation was reached?

[tranquil ferry]

Typical Scopely. Even the quiz bugs out. ROFL

[weary linden]

Has the compensation pack gone out for the players who bought the packs for the new ship?

[winter solar]

Elite Solo waves? I'm Ops 60 & I can't even finish five level 50 standard solo waves.

[tranquil ferry]

Havent seen it yet

[weary linden]

just wanted to make sure cause I bought that pack

[tidal notch]

Nope.

[errant girder]

Wow scopely is so gifted they have managed to transfer the server lag they create in the game to discord. Tried taking the trivia quiz and i got hit with discord disabling lag. 2 thumbs up to scopely for creating a trivia quiz that you can't get past the 5th question before being hit with crippling lag.

[opal crane]

I bought the pack today and it still didn't give me enough loot to get to T5... Do you know if they plan to compensate folks that bought it outside of the posted time window?

[stray delta]

How long does it take for the quiz to start?

[vale wasp]

You should receive the DM from Badgey immediately after typing in:

/take_quiz 18

[stray delta]

I guess Badgey doesn't like me
Yep... sent a DM to them, and told me to bug off because we don't share a server.

[tidal notch]

Don't think they'll be compensating anyone outside of the window that was in the post.

[stray delta]

@night cradle <@&509690795536941056> Is the quiz not working?

[odd wing]

/take_quiz 18

[tidal notch]

Did you get it to work?

[errant girder]

I took the quiz entered the answer to question 5 got the spinning wheel of death for about 45 minutes. So my advice is don't waste your time trying to take it.

[stray delta]

I keep getting this, and I have tried it about a half dozen times now. Even tried messaging Badgey, and that told me the "you cannot message this guy"

Negative, still not working 😦

This is not your fault, to be clear, but this is trash. The announcement made it clear that they were fixing it so folks got the "correct" amount to very specifically get the ship to a set tier..... And then leave it broken? Just more trash from Scopely.
This game took a noticeable dip in quality on July 13, 2023. MyBadScopely

[vapid grove]

any idea when end of day is for that compensation chest as I still have yet to see it and picked that pack up in the time frame. is it a wait till tomorrow basically and if it still hasnt appeared contact support?

[tidal notch]

Well on I'm on the west coast so we still have a little of the working day left...

[vapid grove]

thanks will wait till tomorrow then 🤞 wasn't quite sure what end of day was, too many time zones 🤣

[leaden junco]

@tidal notch can you enlighten us if they are talking about gifting this out since its impossible for g6 unless you maxed the ship?

[finite mural]

there hasn't been anything said about that as far as i can tell

[supple bane]

Scopely says: Nothing is impossible.. you just have to spend more $ 🙂

[leaden junco]

I mean, Scopely math does seem to be 'spend $800 and earn 16.2k event store currency '

[vapid grove]

I mean you think it's impossible G6 try it at G5 being ops 60 XD

[hollow ridge]

I’m in the same boat

[stray delta]

I'm at 64 now and can complete the lvl 50s without buffs. Lvl 60 elites? nope.. can't even get out of wave 3. As soon as those reavers show up, I'm dead. Have a lvl 59 that is able to beat the lvl 50 elites, but she also is about maxed on all her research. I hold her in awe!

[rich cypress]

Hey Scopely, I bought this worthless ship. It is a huge disappointment. My plan was to go to G6 and buy the hazard prime. As a result of the GS31, I am staying at ops60 and will not even buy the battlepass. GG, nice work👍 and the GS31 will stay in the hangar with the other trash.

[vapid grove]

Yeah my issue with it is they expect level 60s to be able to complete stuff that 61+ can. I can get to wave 4 on the reg 60s then they overpower me. Much the same issue 50s have trying to finish the 50 waves when starting out. I've not even bothered to try a 60 elite since I can't finish wave 5 on the 50 elites yet. Not the best sms system and it got commented on during part 1 but they just kinda ignored it and repeated

[loud onyx]

<@&509690795536941056> for the comp chest related to the GS31 upgrade packs, should we be looking for 6x that amount if we did the T10 upgrade, or is it difference for the first pack only?

[brisk ibex]

Or for G4 players at all, since the-GS beam and upgrades are OP’s locked, and only G5 players at or above OP’s 56’ish with Epic G5 ships can complete the 45 Elite waves

[tidal notch]

Difference of the tour pack to get players to t5

[leaden junco]

Are the chests still being rolled out? US Server here. Nothing yet and bought chest on day 1

[tribal wind]

Yep, stop spending money and keep telling them why. That is what I am doing. I've told my alliance not to waste money on this ship as well. I'll stop spending about $200 / month and many in the alliance are going to pass on the ship now too. They won't address this and won't refund those of us who got ripped off by this ship, so there is no other way to reach them.

[maiden gate]

Same , & still nothing here either

[winter inlet]

i'm feeling quite similar. i typically buy every new ship on release and factor that into my budget so i have it available when they are released.. but the GS31 is the first one where I am so underwhelmed that i'm feeling like I should reconsider that stance and invest less in the game. at 62 i don't want to need to spend multiple hundreds of dollars in order to make my new ships more useful day one. Scopely, please consider adding in a OPs level based multiplyer on specialty ship parts, so that they can be brought up to power parody with a users ops level faster without spending thousands of dollars.

[brisk ibex]

And maybe do actual play and balance testing? 😝

Marking products at G4 players that actually require G5 at OP’s 56 to complete, or G5 players that requires G6 ships is just mean

[winter inlet]

yeah, i feel incredibly disheartened by not being able to do the events surrounding the ship because i'm in G6 because i ONLYYYY spent a 120 dollars... i typically feel like the events surrounding a new ships release are worth me picking it up and spending what little fun money I have on a game I love.. but simply don't have the money to buy a new ship, then spend an additional 300 - 500 dollars getting it up to a level where I can actually use it to complete the events surrounding its release.

[brisk ibex]

Feel you.

G4 slow grow Dolphin here who was convinced by a friend to pick up the GS-21 because as billed it would be the Parts equivalent of the SS Rev, and since Rare parts were one of the things holding me back it seemed like a wise investment.

Ironically the last time I bought a ship was the Cube, which was (in my opinion) the same Bait and Switch.
At the time they stated it would be as strong or stronger then the faction ships at the same tier and grow with you…
Which was well, mostly untrue at the time 😭

[winter inlet]

i don't even mind terribly if they sold packs for parts, but i have specialty ships like NSEA Protector that i bought on day one and have been doing the refinery for every single day since it released and its still not even at the level where I can use it to hit G6 targets.. just please scopely, if you sell a G4 ship, give G5 and G6 players a mechanic to grow it up faster

with the GS31, i feel like I either need to spend more money now to try and get it to be in a position to use in the 50s and 60s... or i'm going to be hurting myself doing the 40s in order to get the parts for it because i then won't be getting enough solo credits for other things with the number of directives I am going to be able to get... without spending money

[red rampart]

I just got this email on my ops 54 account. My ops 34 and 36 accounts didn't get an email. Is this legitimately from Scopely or is it a phishing scam. I haven't clicked any links pending verification that it's a legitimate offer.

[finite mural]

legit, for players that haven't logged in, in a while, if you received it with no coresponding events, you're not the target audience

[red rampart]

@finite mural, I've logged in daily (multiple times each day). I don't have any unusual events on any of my accounts so I'm not a targeted player for the offer

[livid stone]

I login every day, spend a bit, and got the same email. They obviously have a targeting issue in this email campaign. I also have never had an alt. <@&509690795536941056>

[red rampart]

@livid stone , I created low level FtP Alts to experience the upgraded new player experience including the Boldly Go events.

[sharp salmon]

Scopley , any DSI events , it has all gone very quiet , Why ? , I also think the kremlin formation armadas and solo are not registering in the DTI store , unless I’m doing something wrong

[rose tapir]

with all the maintenance recently, why is the game still running like the soggiest of turds? Any time I want to look at event store or use the menus, or collect gift chests etc...they remain showing as available for a considerable amount of time after. or I get stuck in a "preparing" screen forever. Mines that should disappear when empty....don't, just sit there as an empty node icon, recalled ships get stuck in warp animation when they are already back at base.

Should I really have to restart my game 10+ times per day for very basic functionality issues?!?

[cold yoke]

All borg refinery options are gone other than the 3 mada turn ins. Even after reloading they are still gone

[undone ermine]

The same happens with any other Independent Archive that you complete - Botany Bay, Amalgam, Vidar, Talios, Voyager, Monaveen,...

[tardy flame]

any idea if any systems drop g5 rare ship blueprints?

Pretty sure, I’ve worked on Faction on the “Islands” and got some Crozier Prints

Though only seen them on 58-60 Faction hostiles

[vapid bough]

cheers guess i will have to boost my corvus warp range some more to reach them

[brisk ibex]

Maybe not!
Only OP’s 48 myself but there is a trick to it….

A few systems have Station House planets, I use my NX to find one then move my station to said system and then use my best ship/crew to farm for a bit (I aim for x100 PVE chests for a nice spectacle when opening them)

[vapid bough]

cool think i need to make a list of systems for my alliances weaker members. got a few struggling to get stuff

<@&509690795536941056> I've been trying to take the quiz, and after many attempts at the /take_quiz 18, it still does not work.

#💬-general-feedback message

Again, until you add G6 mat efficiency this pack is not attractive to the level 61-70 players who are now in the G6 economy. Scopely is losing sales 💵💶💷💴.

[viscid hill]

I managed to make it most of the way through wave 4. Used t10 Krencha, t10 Ent E, and tier 7 gs31. Buffed the Ent and Krencha before starting as well. Event is completable but does suck.

[iron oyster]

they will keep loosing way more with the way they are adding stuff and next month make those harder and give a solution by adding a new ship, solo waves didn’t need to be changed and made this hard just to add the new ship

[stray delta]

I checked those last night with Notorious, and everything was set wide open. I messaged badgey, and badgey told me to leave him alone as he was not accepting messages from people not on the same server.... I think I simply have him confused.

[swift panther]

I don't mind hazard systems, but if I was one of
the employees of scopely that have to write

The one time I would have actually taken the

system to not get war'd upon....and I still have
to rush through the dialog to preserve my ship.

[stray fossil]

Scopely, for the last 3 weeks the Grabthar's Hammer has been the ship version. You used to alternate every other week with Ship Grabthar hammers and Building/Research Grabthar hammers. When will another Building/Research Grabthar hammer come out?

[timid sphinx]

I feel like there was all this hype and excitement when the Archives came out because it would eliminate some hostile grinds (because we all know there are too many), but now it feels like we are still grinding those same hostiles every day for an event. Why not change out events to some of the new hostile types that are not archived yet?

[woven ibex]

I think you are having some problem redeeming the daily rewards, as I am not yet at max lvl in reputations to reach 0!

[silk charm]

That sounds correct if your reputations are all giving you the same daily goals, as the net reputation change from collecting them all is 0

[muted shuttle]

Last Arc was💩 this Arc is 💩 waves are 💩 the new ship is apparently 💩. Disappointment after disappointment, role on the rest of this year of hell. That’s as positive feedback I can give.

[terse bloom]

Any one else having nh issues with the syndicate not scoring

[clever whale]

Waves are actually my favorite part of the game so far. Only downside is getting a group together isn’t always easy, but we do what we can! I don’t min-max daily. It’s a game not a job.

[sinful rain]

You might want to re-evalute that decision. My GS31 is great (t7), able to kill 59 with beam. Used it in a number of regular armadas and it is awesome. Elite solos it does have some issues as the beam CD only allows for one use and at wave 5 it cannot kill. just my experience with it

[rich cypress]

Your GS31 is tier 7. You need to buy or kill elite solo waves to tier the GS. It will take forever and all my solo wave directives to tier up this piece of junk. It was touted as the “best for ship parts”. It give out very few. Eviserator is better. A waste of money… and not throwing more at it to tier it to a useful level (if that is possible)

[foggy dock]

So glad I read this before wasting my time with it. Yet another pig of a time waste. I get shaftley has to make money, but this is getting daft.

They really need to look at who they're sending this to then. I've logged in multiple times every day for over a year (I feel silly even writing that...) and got the same email 🤣

If I'm receiving that email though, is it not false advertising to offer me a reward I'm not going to get? 🤔

[brazen prism]

Scopely is doing everything to make that useless new ship useful for them. Focus on things that really improve the game. Same story with that TC reset, most players don't want to.

-Improve the overall game, give the game more content, especially in the G5 and G6. Like Freebooters, group armadas G6, new formation armadas for G6. More recurring stories and missions, and so on

-Less special ships, more fraction ships

-Give special ships access to fraction technology

-Increase the rewards for events in G6 to boost the economy

-Refresh the dailies; something that is more in line with your OPS level or let players choose between different rewards

-Make it clear where you can find missions in the game world

-Give the Borg Cube tech to increase ion, radiation and Asteroid hazard resistance

-More warp technology for G5 and G6 ships

This is just a small selection of what has changed

[small valve]

Sub ops 50 here. The GS-31 without buying more packs is super frustrating. I have to run solo waves to tier it but at GS-31 T1 and a near-max Pilum I can’t clear wave 2 of the elite solos. So I have to clear wave 1 once per day to upgrade the GS-31, but only get directives once every 3 days. Seems like a massive frustration trap to try and force me to spend more money on the ship because right now I can’t go anywhere with it.

[keen loom]

So much feedback given to improve quality of life, by so so many people.

If the feedback is being ignored, or at minimum going unanswered, people must just continue to hope that one day it will change.

The tools we have to provide feedback are proving to be ineffective, across support and Discord.

So where are the opportunities to actually be heard, and not dismissed?

[polar inlet]

why are there no Rare Armada Tactical Cores in the Rare Armada Pack in Alliances tab?

[ripe thicket]

How about you have a practice wave section. It costs nothing to enter, there are 2 waves, the first and last. There are no rewards. This way players can test out crews and see what works.

[foggy elm]

Does anyone know if they change the probability tables on the whip? Before tuesday I got bells once in the last 3 months of my tier 10 whip. Since Tuesday I've gotten 380 bells every time

[stray delta]

Those were mine! Give them back! I know I have been in discussions with them, and quite a few other players as well, as to how useless this artifact becomes after T8 and getting all the other FT opened... yeah... more stuff stuck in the closet.

[junior sierra]

I haven’t done ultra recruits in a bit so I thought I’d take a shot. I needed 15 shards of an officer to upgrade them. There is a slight potential the officer might be able to help me in the new solo waves. So I opened 125 chest / spent 100K loot. I got 5 shards. This is what happens when you have 113 officers in the pool. We have been asking for adjustments on this for years. I guess I’m glad more are available but this buckshot just ain’t worth it. So I gotta spend what, 300k for 15 shards. It’s redonk.

[vital maple]

is there any explanation for this?
0 damage apparently, but shields get depleted on the target?

this renders any battle analysis utterly useless, if we dont get the usual numbers.
well knowing that half of the interesting numbers also hidden

[brisk ibex]

Currently the people who have reported being able to fully clear it are:
-G5 Players at or above OP’s 56
-Have G5 Epics near max Tier with good crewing.
-Also have the GS-21 at T4 with the Beam at T4 as well (also OP’s locked at 56)

So in short the G4 lvl 45 Elite Solo waves are scaled completely wrong, heck players at OP’s 50+ who couldn’t completely clear it said the first 3 waves of the lvl 50 Elite Solo waves were MUCH easier then the 45 Elite Waves…

This is from me From me stalking Scopley’s discord for a couple days first to see if I was doing something wrong, then trying to constructively raise the issue.

Oh and I’m the same boat, talk about buyers regret 😭…

[brisk ibex]

Feel you!

Not proven but there is another anecdotal evidence of an “Inverse Scarcity” factor to the RNG for ship and Officer pulls that it drives people crazy.
I tracked Officer pulls for about a year in a spreadsheet before giving up, realizing even if I could prove it we couldn’t get it changed 😂

[junior sierra]

Thanks for trying!

[muted flare]

As a 50 ops with a T3 GS31 (ops locked) it isn’t much better. I can only clear wave 2 of the G4 and G5 elite solo waves. My other ships are T10 G4 epics. I can full clear the G5 normal solo waves though.

[ripe thicket]

The resources gain from the ship upgrad event us very disproportionate compared the the resources and materials spent and especially compared to the resources earned from other daily events. This is only worth it during a spend event.

[clever whale]

The one person on 710 I know who has beaten the G4 Elites is an Ops50 with close to max research, max ships, and has the primes. He mentioned there was one that adds two life’s to the solo waves so that may be how they did it,

(I firmly agree that if this is the minimum needed to beat this, the ESWD is not properly balanced).

[sweet cedar]

#👾-bug-reporting message

[brisk ibex]

Curious how they managed even with the extra hit points on the solo wave tower, similarly developed mid 50’s seem to fail consistently.

[muted flare]

I came close on G4 with lorca's fist, max fort, and cerritos w/ the central health prime. It will be another couple days before I can use max fort again. G5 wave 3 isn't even close with all that. And for SMS's an ops 50 is expected to clear wave 3 of the G5. It is just as bad for a 60 as they are expected to clear wave 3 of the G6 elite solo waves.

[vale wasp]

There are only 3 obscenely hard hostiles in an E45, the rest of it is doable with very strong ships. The prime is +2 hp, so 5 total. Leak the 3 through and you'll win. The prime is basically p2w easy mode that's probably stronger than the ship for a lot of players.

[brisk ibex]

I still question that, no offense.

Yet to find a confirmed G4 player that has cleared even the second wave and I know sub 50’s with good research and crews who tiered the GS-21 to Max of OP’s (48 - 50) with the linked research that can’t kill ONE of the 45 Reavers in the 2nd wave.
Even if they could make it to the 3rd wave seems like an excuse for bad balance to say we aren’t succeeding because “we don’t have the add on Prime”

From my personal perspective as a OP’s 46 (now 48 working towards 50) slow grow player I’ve got unusually good officers, do a solid job crewing and and Max Tier G4 Rare with well developed research.

With this I can anchor vs Interceptor / Battleship hostiles until end in the group 45 Standard, MU and finally Stnd 50 until the last ship (which I beat 50% of the time) and that is punching way way up.

Last night ran x4 Standard Solo 45 waves in a row lastnight with speed crews, no mitigation and took less than 5 minutes total repair time per ship after all 4 were finished.

Then tried the 45 Elite Solo waves again with best crew combos I could, adding stat based mitigation, Apex shred officers, Solo Apex Shred favors etc with my 3 best ships I couldn’t get one Reaver down to 50%.

Happy to share crews, research, heck my Spock’s club data, I just want to see this being pushed back onto the players as a failure on their part to stop.
Because it’s not us, there is a balance issue and much more OP and skilled players in the G4 range than me are failing which reinforces that point.

Edit:
Follow up, I’ve also not seen G4 players posting in here bragging about completing the 45 Elite Solos.
Typically with this kind of situation where the majority of the community is failing someone pops in grandstanding, even if falsely, claiming they’ve succeed where all others failed.
Instead it seems like nothing but frustration, especially as mid tier but not fully developed G5 players are specularly failing on the G4 waves

[brisk ibex]

That’s awesome!
I personally know a good number of G5 and G6 players on my own server who cleared it all with varying degrees of difficulty, so it’s clearly a results will vary (also depends on wallet size!)

Did you manage to kill all 3 reavers in round 2 without losses?

[vale wasp]

You almost certainly won't beat a reaver in wave 3, they don't even spawn in the first 2 waves. But if you can reach it, then you've already won if you own the prime. Kill the non-reavers of the wave, and let the 3 reavers through.

[brisk ibex]

There seems to be a disconnect here.
In the 45 Elite Solo waves:
-Wave 1 x0 Reavers
-Wave 2 x3 lvl 45 Reavers
-Wave 3 x6 lvl 45 Reavers & x3 lvl 50 Reavers.

What you are describing is the spawn pattern of the lvl 60 Elite solo waves which is G6 and not G4.

Heck, statically the G5 lvl 50 Elite solo waves are MUCH easier than the 45 Elite solo waves for the first 3 waves as ZERO Reavers spawn until wave 4

[vale wasp]

I'm simply going by what stfc.space calls them. If there are reavers in wave 2 you've faced, then they're mislabeled/bugged. The 3 hard ones in wave 3 are the ones that you won't beat. Everything else can be beat. The report that I've seen was from a 49 with maxed 46r ships. What system are you doing your Ewaves in?

[brisk ibex]

Rare instance of Spock’s Club being wrong, if anything I’d guess that’s what was supposed to be and not what is.

Personally I’ve tried: (pardon any typos)
-Astif
-Vicarie
-Ummaboshi
And know the following had been tried
-RN-4520
-Nant

Additionally you’re welcome to check with the various influencers, there are a few videos out and RevD has an Elite Solo Wave Defense spawn pattern guide.
Includes a set of images with ship spawn type by wave and another with locations, and it is accurate.

Edit:(Sorry hit enter too soon

Again this isn’t an instance of players complaining about content that’s too hard but they haven’t yet tried, they just want easy mode.

The Reaver you state “you won’t beat” are in Wave 2 and Wave 3 is more than twice as difficult.
And why should a player have no chance of beating a hostile after buying the ship Scopley specific said would let us kill them?
The fact the GS-21 CAN’T kill a single 45 reaver at OP’s 50 is problem.

Players aren’t going to handle being given an SMS’s that can’t be completed that’s Pay only to begin with and tell us “Working as intended”

It’s for G5 players, with G5 ships, hence 51+, or do you mean how do efficiencies work?

[random nymph]

<@&509690795536941056>

Station battles are broken. The attacker does zero iso damage. What have you done to station combat?

[random nymph]

I did a bunch of testing. It seems when there is a cube in the base I do zero iso damage doesn't matter the crew

[random nymph]

Actually it's really weird. If there is a cube in the base I do zero iso damage. If there is no cube I do iso damage.

[solid briar]

Would love to see a timer on the screen while in mirror space. It would be super helpful

[upper parrot]

That happens when you attack someone who has Janeway Pocket Watch artifact as it decreases opponent player iso damage

[random nymph]

It's not that. My iso damage is thru the roof. That wouldn't zero yr iso damage

[upper parrot]

It would, as it counts multiple times, same as Bajoran favors.

[random nymph]

Well I also have the pocket watch maxed and he did iso damage normal to me. It's only when there's a cube in the base too make any sense?

Yeah it's not that. The pocket watch is minus 40. That's nothing. The tantalus is 80 plus

[dapper bramble]

does it count for each ship?

[upper parrot]

Yes. If the base has enough ships then you can zero it, same like having enough ships negated critical chance or damage with Bajoran favors. It all depends of course on how high the Artifact is, how many statuses the attacking ship gets and what their iso damage is, but you can zero most players.

[dapper bramble]

Wonder if thats a scoply reduction of 1/(1+%) thing or if it minuses base iso so if i have 320% iso dmg and if they have 8 ships at -40% if that zeroes it or if its overall reduction so 3 ships with pocket watch at 33% or more zero it

[odd prawn]

@tidal notch <@&509690795536941056> the launch day special has been added to the store again for the GS31 but again with no parts or research currency. Is this in error again? If it's the launch special surely it should include both?

[rich furnace]

Honestly, I think this is a result of the insane power creep that happens from G5 onwards, the numbers are getting so big, and modifiers so numerous, that the game engine is struggling, and on occasion out right breaking (See Rev armadas)

The work required to fix it is probably beyond Scopely's ability, and tbh even if it isn't they won't put the time and effort needed to fix it either

Ideally they need to fully rebalance the game, but they have zero incentive to do so

[grim coral]

I'm ops 49 and I can reach wave 3 in elite solo defense with sustainable buffs (i.e., no max fortify) by killing one level 45 reaver in wave 2. And that's enough for double pulling the refinery chest.

The new ship is useless for killing reavers, I just use my highest power ship (Relativity).

Personally, I like the challenge. All other PvE is too easy because of power creep.

The refinery cost doesn't scale with ops level, which is another way to get players to stop camping in G4.

[brisk ibex]

Good info, you make 3 people in the G4 range who can get to the 3rd wave, zero completions yet.

A few months ago, they tried to update the Field Training. There were issues, and it was pulled back. Right now, there's nothing to do but wait until they finish the rework and deploy it.

The loops can be progressed the normal way. None of the Field Trainings are necessary to development so you shouldn't be blocked.

When will something finally be done about the lag? Your rented Stone Age servers are simply too slow. Invest some money and rent faster ones.

[lunar tendon]

Welcome in the Club. I stopped buying anything till they fixed my DTI Building. So far i am the third month into and no fix so far.

[timid anvil]

So lol the Vi’DAR Talios is not Nero’s ship that was n the movie …the ship he used was and aggressive mining ⛏️ vessel - planet core Harvester but he used that ship to take out alooooot of feds .so witch means it’s a all around ship ,,pve and pvp..-harvester ship ..so my question scopely 😁is there any plans of creating the Narada fore the game 😁🫡

[lethal sedge]

Will Voyager mining space ever be fixed? The constant restarts are extremely frustrating.

[fast anvil]

any way to ask if prime dolamide particles can be inside every event store? would help a ton with the efficiency researches being upgraded and thus let us lvl up faster which is basically what the overlords want. so i think its a win win for both of us(players + overlords)

[olive nacelle]

More and more high ops players leaving the game. Unless STFC makes some drastic improvements and changes this games is heading for retirement.

Will Scopley even notice?? Probably not.

[rare vale]

If a "view" button is placed before a single "claim" button, the employee who put it there should be immediately fired because they are showing they clearly have no critical thinking skills.

[light temple]

STFC is the worst, it has ever been.. They allow players to harass other players with no recourse. It does nothing to report thes.

[silk charm]

they're in this one; check the special currency folder

[tawdry moat]

Raising the mycelium refining limit form 18 000 to 75 000 would be awesome. We all have raw mycelium that is useless, but rafined mycelium is very limited, 5k per week form the weekly event. With all the new armadas added it would allow people to participate more in them.

It’s honestly useful for everyone, down form lvl 30 all the way to 70

[tidal notch]

Pinged ya

[tidal notch]

Would love to get this too. Will raise again.

[dapper bramble]

I'll do another wd and record it on obs to try and catch the error specifics

[tidal notch]

Thanks!

[muted shuttle]

Fixed it for yah.

[astral acorn]

I might be insane for suggesting this, but can we get an update that allows exclusively miners to get ship xp via mining. So for example, after mining a g5 node in TC your Nova gets 1m xp. Seems logical to make this change

[lost orbit]

Dear developers... There's been a double-click bug on the PC for a month now!!! When trying to move the system, the ship immediately begins to move to the point of capturing space... When will it be fixed?

[vital pawn]

Feedback? give players who don't have 3-4hrs a way to get Arena credits, the expierment isn't working, you're just cripling a large portion of your playerbase

[fast anvil]

oh cool found it, thanks

[leaden junco]

So, not only did the devs completely ignore the feedback from last week on the solo waves, they decided to rub that worthless ship even more in our faces? Honestly, if they let G6 players complete the g5 waves for the reward, it wouldn't be a complete failure, but they are legitimately telling us if we paid $800 for a ship that doesn't do what it's supposed to do then we can get less quarterly store currency than if we spent $100 on a currency pack. Make it make sense @tidal notch or @raw fiber ...please. It really doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand g6 players are legitimately getting the shaft on this from an economic standpoint. Just have them drop the G6 requirement and at least give us a shot.

[fringe terrace]

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK SCAMELY

[toxic harness]

I’m not sure what the deal is tonight but I’ve lost 5 straight matches and the matches haven’t been remotely close in power. Like…what’s the point?

[crimson lotus]

Arena needs reworked. Been playin for 3 hours, won 4 matches. Bs….

[fast anvil]

could we push for a "don't show again" button when upgrading forbidden techs? it's not nice to have to press so many buttons to upgrade the FT a few times

[copper sequoia]

SCOPLEY! What could it be that in my bracket the top5 is none <69 and in top13 nobody <66? Could it be the MASSIVE jump in ship power coming wiht these OPS? I am 62 just wondering how you decide to make that ridicolous brackets.... MAYBE I would spend money IF I had a chance to compede. BUT if not I wont ... common show some effort

[fast anvil]

now that you brought this up, i got the same thing to ask, why is it as a 53 i get paired with 60s in the same SLB bracket? i dont have enough stuff to upgrade compared to them

[umbral thistle]

This 100%, don't mind trying to work for the extra currency using the new ship but being low 60s and forced to do the 60 elites to get access to the extra currency whilst using the new new paperweight? They are hard enough without having to use the paperweight bin ship.

[acoustic geyser]

Does the refinery scroll feature stop at the first uncompleted prime or regular node? If prime then in some trees like combat you save maybe one scroll or two depending on prime ownership situation

[latent timber]

In their video it stops at first uncompleted prime which makes it borderline useless for most trees. Not even skipping a single scroll

[haughty sail]

how about remembering where I was on the screen, or if that's too complicated, start on the far right as that's usually were we are with researches to do. Or hire competent developers who would have designed it in a mirrored fashion from the start with the newest researches on the left and old stuff on the right, always out of sight..
but dont worry, here is a new prime with daily drip of directives (we won't say how many in the post though because it's likely not full starts but the whales will buy anything we throw at them)

[latent timber]

Tbh if it was a full start for polygon and solo Wave i would probably buy it lol

[acoustic geyser]

I don't know why they don't just let you hide all the completed ones and put all the primes in an area near the start isolated from where your tree kicks off. You still gotta scroll past them but at least it's way more streamlined

[low mirage]

the video shows it stops at the first incomplete node, no matter if its prime or not. It would make more sense to stop it at the first incomplete node that you have the resources to start research on

[ocean swift]

@tidal notch @raw fiber great thing to improve the GS31 refinery for ship parts ( now it’s logical to have it giving more than gorn refinery).
Suggestion:
it would be nice to see the refinery even when you don’t have the ship (like you did with revenant)
It would help decide if we want to get the ship 🤗

[dapper bramble]

<@&509690795536941056>
New reserch tree idea is almost there, can it please auto scroll to the last uncompleted "non prime" reserch please

This is a super addition hameperd by some out of date or non essential primes that would render the feature null

[humble mango]

<@&509690795536941056>
Gameplay before reaching end of the loop:

• Work on your ships and research
• Optimize crews/techs
• Work together with your alliance to share buffs

Gameplay after reaching end of the loop:

• Buy packs
  • Content is easy enough that you don't have to use your best crews etc but simply doesn't reward enough without spending.

Loops should end in a "punch up", a difficult target that you have to work towards beating but after you do you have completed the loop and can earn enough rewards with low effort.
This is usually possible in the middle of the loop but rarely at the end.

Fixing this issue with primes is another step for me spending less and quitting the game.

[chrome vortex]

What you don't understand is it's been this way for very long time. The tyrants or better known as overlords have always had this in the bracket. It's about numbers in a bracket. Determine how many rewards there are. And how many levels there are?. I believe that those that have spent enough they should be in their own bracket competing against people like them.

[copper sequoia]

you just proofed that you didnt understand it. scopley could earn more money from e.g. OPS 60-65 if they would not have to compede with 66-70 because thats a useless task... and yes we saw this for many years now but this example is so simple and obvious. but if you dont get it I shouldnt be surprised some scopleys dont get it

[prime socket]

No change in research trees.
App Store has no update
I know how to check for updates
App Store has no update.

[dapper bramble]

update your game in play stre, or if you have a prime on the first area it wont pass that

It not passing primes is a fundamental block to the new feature being useful

Updates never show up in the play store under the updateable apps you have to go to the star trek game un manage and then you will see the update

[humble furnace]

App Store and play store 2 different stores one is IOS and one is Android

[fast anvil]

what's the point of the auto scroll function if i scroll through 6 columns and stops there just because of a prime that costs a hundred dollars? push the primes to the front of each tree or just make a seperate tree and name it "primes". This way allows the function to work as intended(i assume its to help players to scroll faster which is a great addition to the game)

[dapper bramble]

Yup super idea, poorly implemented xD kinda par for the coarse at this point

[warped glacier]

Hire a CFO who likes Star Trek and/or gaming

[undone dove]

Thanks Scopely can't see now what I'm getting after collecting multiple stuff from Refinery etc.

[frail latch]

Apparently collecting things (refinery, armada rewards) now freezes the screen

[stoic pebble]

So we’ve just had a patch because the latest ship isn’t selling very well..

[vast nest]

@raw fiber as everyone has suggested, remove primes from the auto scroll function to make it a good QoL update.

Instead of making the GS 31 ship parts refinery better so players don't think it was a scam to buy the ship, you could just improve the basic ship parts refinery so everyone can have improvements.

No mention of rebalancing the solo wave defense events for people even those who bought the gimmick ship of the month.

The prime node for armada and wave starts should be pulled and put back up as a dolamide particle prime so that it can be easily gotten by average players through grinding and not just whales who are forced to buy more packs on top of more packs. Or you could ya know make it a daily claim for everyone which would actually be a QoL improvement.

<@&509690795536941056> also all the descriptions for the new primes are broken on my end so you might want to revisit them anyway.

[naive stream]

Just ran some Officer Chest pulls. The new method of showing what you got is terrible. The shard(s) you get flash onscreen for just a second in tiny little icons. There's no way to see what you got or how many you got. Bring back the old method so we can see what we pulled.

[round shard]

I was keen to see the autoscroll for research until I saw it stopped at primes which is a bother.
But worse is that it also seems to stop at research I can't do for 6 more Ops levels

[prisma nacelle]

Had to disable frequent speed animations - the refinery/pull update is pretty bad.

[wise tide]

<@&509690795536941056> whatever happened to getting rid of these animations and just having flyaways?? I think it worked for like an hour months ago and then reverted back. It would be a massive improvement not to have the additional screen pop up

[swift steppe]

The new click/claim is VERY much appreciated!!!!

[undone dove]

On singular stuff yes. But not on multiple items.

[prisma nacelle]

Good feature, poor implementation.

[weak grove]

No it is not, at some points it's nice yes, but for officers, Material, and all claims where multiple things are, it makes it impossible to grasp what you got

[haughty sail]

Glorious auto scroll stopped dead in its track on column one because I have not done these 2 primes

[frail latch]

How have you made the solo waves even more difficult?! The first iteration was fine, a bit of a challenge but doable. The current state of them is unplayable.

[undone igloo]

No update for iOS yet?

[flint river]

so now I can't see rewards when opening loot chests etc, they appear for a second and disappear. Nice, great improvement.. lol

[unborn ether]

but not always ... sometimes i still get the "old" window, cant reproduce it 😦 but opening 100 hostile chests with the "improved" claim animation is really great, you can see .... almost nothing

[narrow bridge]

Really need the research auto scroll to go to first green one that can be completed to bypass all primes that can't be done yet. On combat auto scrolled a few columns in but then had to scroll a long way to get to first I can actually complete.

[vale wasp]

There's a setting to change between reward screen and flyaways.

[unborn ether]

isnt the setting just for "animations" and only for certain ones? thats what the tooltip says, the one that keeps Q from waving his hands or the officer shards popping out of the chest one by one

[stone roost]

This, every tree I checked has a prime at the start so the update does nothing

[frail latch]

This bit (that doesn't actually skip the animations but sometimes speeds them up)?

[carmine yew]

<@&509690795536941056> How much of what of what am i gaining when i open a chest

[signal adder]

I kind of like this, having one less pop up to click confirm on, but it'd be nice if we could actually see what we're getting.. these all look the same

[fast anvil]

there's so many things in the game that are really good, the speed up function, "don't show again" buttons, claim all features, the newest "auto scroll" feature for research and many more. it's just really poorly implemented. send our feedback to scopely and push for them to improve on these features because they really are good features that would make the game extremely better once implemented correctly

[wise tide]

Where? I have the animation one done already and makes no difference

[wary fjord]

Any logic as to why vindicator parts aren't in the event store? Such a long slog to tier it up at all.

[static bone]

Anyone else not getting GS31 recon for completing elite solo waves? I have completed both a 45 and a 50 elite solo with the GS31 with no data awarded at all.

[vale wasp]

Today's patch re-enabled flyaways on claiming. If you're not seeing them, then you may need to manually update or repair the client after enabling the fast animations option.

[craggy sentinel]

Is there a way to turn off the flyaways for chests? I would like to see what I'm getting.

[vale wasp]

You can try turning off the fast animations option under settings.

[weak grove]

it does not even that. since you don't exit the menu automatically like before, you click on "back" now instead of on "okay".
it has no improvement at all and just makes impossible to see what you actually got

[static bone]

I had an alliance member confirm as well. Recon Data is no longer being awarded for completing elite solo waves. I completed 3 waves for the 45 elite solos, and 4 waves of the 50 elite solo, and received no recon data to refine in the GS31 refinery.

<@&509690795536941056> ☝️

[elfin swan]

I really don't understand why they need to fly off the screen so fast, why can't they just line up at the bottom or something with a glowing colour (green, blue etc.) around them marking their rarity, then the player can just use back button to leave once theyve had enough of looking at them.

[craggy sentinel]

Thank you, this did work. <@&509690795536941056> a suggestion to share up the chain if you would be so kind. Can the ability to enable/disable the chest flyaway be separated from the rest of the animations? I like the ability to disable the animations, but now that means I can't see what I'm getting in the chests.

[fast anvil]

for stuff like this with only a singular claim can you change it to a claim without needing to enter the tab? same as what was done for the ship ability resources and building materials. so instead of clicking 3 times(enter tab, claim, exit tab) it's just 1 click(claim button). then if we don't have enough to claim it just grey out the box and don't allow us to press it

[woeful nymph]

It’s always nice when you take our directive sourcing feedback and turn it into monetization, setting moderate and below spenders back even further. You sell the ships, then the upgrade packs and now the access. Thanks for the slap in the face. <@&509690795536941056>

[torpid crest]

the new change to jump in the research to the first not complete is nice but a fail for me so it jump but only to the first prime, nice try to sell more from it but no not for that

[fast anvil]

technically it's not the CMs fault🤷🏻‍♀️

[glass horizon]

Scopley wants it to jump to the first prime available, it is a business in the skin of a game, it screams look, don't forget this one you can spend money here.

[woeful nymph]

I know it's not the CM's fault, but the CM's job is literally to relay feedback, so I'm providing feedback

[keen loom]

Amazing that a broken new ship and supporting content was fixed so quickly, while content that’s been broken for years remains that way. Next week we’ll hear how Scopley listens and implements feedback like it’s the best thing since sliced bread. When in reality it’s a tone deaf reaction to poor sales, instead of actually taking action on feedback. Let’s get a survey together that is focused ONLY on player experience, and ensure it’s available for every player, every ops level, and publicly post those results.

[woeful nymph]

They must not be selling as many ships as they predicted. It's a shame they're just going to make people angry be selling wave entries as a Prime a month after their release. It taints much of the positivity.

[keen loom]

Just adds fuel to the dumpster fire that is the player experience.

[fast anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> I decided to put this in a separate message instead of together with my above one. could you ask the overlords to at least give us a f2p sourcing for that? if you want to make more directives a prime then the least you can do will be to make it f2p acquirable. be it event stores or alliance tournaments but please DO NOT lock it behind a new ship because 100days to unlock a new ship and then needing like another 200 or something days to get the prime(I'm basing this off the nsea,assuming you're very unlucky and don't get the lucky extra pull) is basically a slap in the face

[haughty sail]

people arent buying the ship not only because of the terrible refinery, we're just fed up with one trick ponies month after month for £100 which then needs loads more to tier up to be usable or take months to get there.

[woeful nymph]

Then tries to charge you again for the privilege to use that ship more often instead of adjusting the directives cooldown.

[keen loom]

This is exclusively why Scopley focuses on new players and that experience vs existing players and broken content. They teach us over time that all that matters is the doll hairs.

[rare vale]

OMG, put the chest opening confirmation screens back up. I can't tell if my pulls worked, or see what I received. This is not a qol improvement at all. It didn't save clicks, just added frustration.

[naive tiger]

The changes to chest openings (fly away animations) are certainly quicker, but it's harder to tell what you've actually got.

With rss the common, uc, rare and epic all look the same.

[lilac haven]

Enable game animations in general settings. They added loot/chests to that list

[unborn halo]

nice idea with research trees, would have been good in practice if you had exempted primes from it.

[wise tide]

It’s on iOS so doubtful there’s anything I can do until a client update is released into the App Store

[sage monolith]

We have a few people basically bullying people by destroying anything in their sights to add to their power destroyed counter, I would like to propose that you exempt miners from this calculation. This would make the game a lot more playable. People are discussing quitting the game cause of the constant badgering by high lvl player on low lvl players.

[mighty rock]

I wouldn't want them to exclude primes altogether, as that's still got its uses. but a toggle for that would be very nice.

[keen loom]

Next month a new ship will launch to fix your issue, and open a revenue stream. @mighty rock rest assured.

[rare vale]

Nobody asked for that. They need to stop making up "improvements". The players have literally told them what they want, but instead they do stuff like this which is worse. I don't want to suffer through the other animations because they lumped these things together.

[mighty rock]

The answer to that is to turn that toggle into a new tab, and in that tab un-bundle all the toggles for each thing on the list shown earlier.

[keen loom]

If you don’t want to suffer you are playing the wrong game friend. Scopley doesn’t care unless it’s an obvious path to doll hairs from the masses.

I keep telling people Scopley should give us a prime called Prime-Player Experience where the game isn’t lag ridden, feedback is heard and acted upon, and content doesn’t release until bug free and tested for usability by real world players, not dev’s. That said, Scopley can’t figure out any of that, so the prime won’t ever happen.

[young ibex]

May I suggest improving the research tree improvement so that it ignores Primes. Then it might actually be useful.

[muted shuttle]

Sooooooo, even your mid month patches are behind a paywall. Keep up the good work.

[rare vale]

I hope you're trying to be funny, because a prime that does that would be the stopping point for most players. It's basically saying "pay $100 so the game works better" which is something that should just exist to begin with, not be a pay wall.

[keen loom]

Absolutely I am. My point is I’d rather pay a flat $30 a month for stability, good content that has been tested etc, than all these ridiculous pay walls for broken content.

[crimson lotus]

I completed 1 level 60 elite to try and complete some of these missions - but it didn't take. is this a known bug or is there some trick to getting it to work?

[cursive vessel]

You have to use the new ship or it does not count. For the other 5 SMS just do a normal 60 Solo.

[crimson lotus]

I used the new ship, but it died on the first hostile but i did complete the wave. So it should count right?

The other 5 just do a normal 60 - do i use the new ship on those or na?

[hoary sierra]

It also has to survive

[cursive vessel]

For the normal Solo SMS you don't need to use the new ship. For the other issue better write a ticket.

It also has to survive
Are you sure about that? Not stated anywhere.

[woeful nymph]

Can you please finally address the fact that mobile only has 2 columns in the faction screens. We have to scroll to oblivion to claim things. We've only been asking for 2+ years for your to revert that change.....

[hoary sierra]

Positive, it’s been discussed here over and over again. The GS-31 must be alive at the end of the wave for it to count towards the event. Most players are just leaving it floating and barely using it, and winning with the other two ships.

[crimson lotus]

That's crappy, but i can confirrm. i completed wave 1 with it alive and it counted.

[rich elm]

cool animation but for the love of god make it clear what rarity is each and the grades -- also im pretty sure they are just all sitting in a line so when you open something that goes is too long it ends up outside the screen

[flint river]

it's plain clear that nobody from the developers plays the game, otherwise it would obvious for them how inconvenient that is

[keen loom]

Nope. No doll hairs in this for Scopley.

[fast anvil]

for this the devs can just colour code it just like in the pictures. blue rares etc, that'll solve thr problems

[tight drift]

Why is all the RSS missing from the Borg Solo refinery pull now?

[round sapphire]

Less clicks FTW 🎉🎉🎉

[topaz ruin]

it's also displays too short when there's lots of items and I still have to click back, so it doesn't save me a "done" click really.

[rich elm]

Yes, that's what I meant they all end up on a single line and they go off screen, instead of being constrained by screen size and moved on multiple lines. It can be clearly noticed on hostile loot chests

[wild lichen]

Hey there! 👋
It seems there is no characters on this server yet 😓
Reach out to the owner or the bot masters of this server to invite them here.

[rare vale]

I would definitely pay a subscription if it included the BP, improved performance, and eliminated a fair amount of the pay walls for progression. I pay $20 a month as is for the BP, so $30 would be a steal for that.

[rich elm]

$30/mo when most MMOs are about $15/mo ? sounds like a steal to me /s

[neon bluff]

Where is the exclusive promo code from #CadetCorner? I don't see it anywhere.

[copper pecan]

With the bp/fp, and decent chunk of people are doing exactly that

[vale wasp]

Cadet
Crushers
KIRK
WARPSPEED
TNG
COMMANDER
FRONTIER
S31PT2

It's the first one, but try them all.

[robust knoll]

For whatever reason, the research skip does not work for me. No updates in the store and Research tree still always opens at the first node. 😦

[vale wasp]

Apple devices don't have the update yet, it's in processing.

[spare hedge]

Like how is this better than before?

[rich elm]

So what should we see on the PC version with the research tree ? Cause im not seeing much different

[vale wasp]

The game will fast forward to the first unresearched node instead of starting from the beginning. Unfortunately, a lot of trees have primes there and it'll stop at those as well.

[torpid cargo]

<@&509690795536941056> - after todays update, the GS31 Gravitational Blast will not fire for me during the elite waves. Tried several times. You click the button and confirm the attack and then nothing. Navigating the broken parts of this game needs its own daily SMS. Boo.......

[finite raft]

<@&509690795536941056> Got a quick question... what rarity and grade did i just pull? I feel like this might have been half of a good idea.

[torpid cargo]

<@&509690795536941056> - Also I have confirmed that the GS31's Gravitational Blast is also not working in the regualr solo waves either. It does fire in galaxy for PvP, but not in waves. So why is my wave ship not working in waves?

[woeful rapids]

because if you look up the word "incompetent" in the dictionary, the definition underneath simply reads "Scopely"

[kind vale]

Well enhanced research tree navigation doesn't work at all on iOS. 😦 <@&509690795536941056>

[pastel karma]

It opens at the first node you havent researched yet. Thst can be a prime you do not have.

[final plinth]

so all grades all tiers probably doesn't actually mean all grades and all tiers <@&509690795536941056>

[spare hedge]

This loot screen from a mirror universe visit is stupid. I want to know how much faction credits I got out of it without having to write it down before going in and afterwards go to the faction screen to compare my notes.

[final plinth]

On a side note, I really love the fly out animations as they reduce click-time and make chain-pulling easier. HOWEVER:

• Work on the visual style: Have the results displayed in a box with proper color coding of the rarities.
• Don't make them disappear that fast

In regards of the Artifacts Refinery option: Introduce a Refine-ALL button for all the overflow parts that are convertable to Atrifact Remnants. Once your ARtifact collection reaches a certain point, this refinery gets totally off the rails

[kind vale]

Not for me. For example in the combat tree it opens at the start and doesn't go to first incomplete node.

[restive wraith]

Anyone lost a Continium Refinery option - upgraded my refinery but the solo armada credit one has disappeared.....

[unreal acorn]

This new UI sucks donkey nuts...I want to SEE what I got and I cannot do that in the 1 -2 seconds those tiny icons go flying over other things on the screen and disappear. PUT IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS. This is NOT an improvement.

[woeful rapids]

that's missing for me too and I didn't even buy the prime, <@&509690795536941056> this "QoL" patch has introduced more bugs, and the "improvements" are something NOBODY was asking for. Instead of doing easy stuff to try and make it look they're doing stuff, tell the devs to pull their fingers out and actually do some work on fixing the game.

[final plinth]

disable this setting

[swift sphinx]

@tidal notch I’d really recommend going back and choosing NEW art for the new prime particles before you get lots of upset people during the next alliance tourney or who submit tickets over problems in the nsea exchanges for a particle that looks the same but is named different.
Example:

[unborn halo]

Too many people complained that they weren't getting correct rewards cause of the multi chest display bug from a few months ago so scopely fixed it where you don't know what you are getting now. Problem fixed

[sand talon]

please can you schedule a SpecSavers appointments for the testers who approved todays shamble of an update 🙂

[tropic crown]

Great info!

[rich elm]

You are welcome

[unborn halo]

iOS doesn't have the update yet, be happy it made stuff worse.

[tawdry moat]

Continuum solo armadas loot exchange and directives pulling disappeared

I’m not alone, high level people form my alliance noticed it also. We are on server 80

Only things visible are the mats exchange, polygon loot exchange, polygon directives, forbidden tech luck wheel

[merry comet]

not seeing the promised comp chest. edit: ah, I see you've changed the delivery time from 9am PDT to "by the end of the week"

[woeful rapids]

this affecting literally everyone, @raw fiber @tidal notch this needs fixing ASAP, along with the host of other rubbish you introduced with this update

[tawdry moat]

Form what i saw in game the chest is given to gs31 owners

[dusky yew]

<@&509690795536941056> no solo turn ins anymore , prime break it and no going to behind a day more then likely

[merry comet]

aye. I got the ship. they just changed when they're giving us the chest, which is typical of scopely

[modest trench]

Yeah this new refinery 'simplification' is terrible. Can't see pack contents, don't know which rarity of item I recieved, there's no way to take a screenshot if something is broken or missing...

If I redeem a voyager commerce token, I am also seemingly awarded some red circular object that's not even in the pack contents, no idea what that is... this is a pretty severe regression in QOL <@&509690795536941056>

[woeful rapids]

just roll back the update, this is absolutely ridiculous.

1. I'm getting stuck in claim screen after pulls, so the sped up animation is rendered useless by the fact I have to manually exit the screen anyway.
2. The solo credit pull in continuum refinery is completely missing. Regardless of if you've bought the prime or not
3. GS31 grav beam not working in waves, the main place it has any use

I'm pretty sure other stuff is broken too, but this is the bulk of it. This update has introduced far too many serious bugs, even by Scopely standards. Where is the testing? You're lying if you say any of this stuff gets tested in any meaningful way, because if it did you'd have caught the above 3 faults immediately. Do better, I've got newbies on Service Desk at work who are more competent than this. I've come to expect a certain level of incompetence with updates in STFC, but this one takes the biscuit.

[pastel karma]

@restive wraith same for me pulled chest and now disappeared

[smoky totem]

Not surprised at this point by the sheer greed. Things like polygons and solo waves starts that should have had better sourcing in the first place now have it, for the cost of a pack.

Pro tip, when you find yourself giving out extra starts for solo wave defense events, maybe look at the root sourcing first before slapping a price tag on it.

[torpid cargo]

<@&509690795536941056> - Game is broken more than normal after this update. Any communication going to happen with this?

[haughty sail]

aaand as expected, the prime starter gives you HALF a start a day. 50 solo cipher, 50 polygon dirs and 100 rare formada....

[hearty ridge]

But then you lose all the other good things that setting initially did

[astral acorn]

As much as I like the premise of the fly out QoL update to all pulls, I'd like it slowed down a bit and for mats/ship parts color coded so I know exactly what I got. I also like the idea for the research tree QoL update as well of taking you to the next available research node in the tree, however it should be the next available upgrade or exclude Primes unless you have the particles to do the research. @tidal notch @raw fiber

PS, I'd also like for the team to consider miners to be able to gain XP for mining mats. It seems logical that a Nova gets xp for mining mats, something like 5xp per g5 mat mined. The numbers can be tuned but it would make leveling miners much more tolerable at the very least

[olive summit]

This new “skip smart speed-up confirmation” is terrible. Not being able to see what I get for my pulls. And I disable it, the animations are even slower than they used to be.

[silver bramble]

<@&509691205798592532> What is the benefit of the new behavior from collecting stuff from cards. It's not possible to see the stuff as long as possible and making screenshots any more. The amount of clicks is the same. Instead of "done" we have to click the "return"-tab.
Nothing seems better for the gameplay in my first impression.

[winged jewel]

The new animations are amazing and saves a lot of time. Best update in a long time ❤️ Disable the option if you want to see what you're getting, personally I don't need to know

[dry patio]

@tidal notch with this new refinery QoL change the group Borg Polygon Directives pull is missing from the Contiuum refinery

[dark hearth]

I’m missing the borg 03 solo pull and directives

[silver bramble]

Ok. Thanks. 🍻
I found the option. "disable frequent game animations" must be OFF. And now it works the same way like before.
Now I'm happy again. 🤣

[torpid cargo]

<@&509690795536941056> - Live Update from S20 in STFC.......game is still borked for all the reasons listed above. Put ships out to mine and log off......2nd Tuesday of next month scopley will put out a patch.

[tidal notch]

Team is working on this and I should have an update soon.

[livid stone]

So where are the official announcements on that progress? Why arent they in game? You realize how many times alliance leaders have to answer the same question because the stfc team wont post simple updates? Sorry for the mini-rant, but communications are super simple to post in the modern age....

[rapid agate]

same here

[vagrant elm]

It would be nice if the QoL improvement for the research tree worked. There is no change in my game.

[stark lintel]

Regarding the update from today:

Pros:
-increased parts in GS31 chests
-increased damage on Gravitational blast

Cons:
-Research “jump” to the first incomplete research in a tree is useless as most trees have a Prime very close to the start. Remove Primes from the equation and this is a good feature

• Primes for starts/etc. These should have been QoL for everyone, not $100 each
• Refinery changes (fly out where you don’t see what you actually got from a chest) are annoying and you still have to click the back button. Not sure of the point of this.
  -general brokenness of items I assume you’re working on

@raw fiber @tidal notch

[glacial stratus]

Why do you always have to buy a pig in a poke can someone post what's in it thanks

[haughty sail]

I didn't buy it but this is what's in it, half a start a day

[woeful rapids]

idk what's more laughable, the fact they expect you to pay 99.99 for this nonsense, or the fact that some people actually will pay for it

[lusty basin]

Any news on when the iOS update will be released?

[keen loom]

Any news on when fixing things won’t break others? Any news on quality content over quantity?

[tawdry moat]

Wow i tried to fly to mu to do a little pve hunt, it’s unplayable. Can’t even get into the circle portal to enter mu it’s ridiculous

[analog sparrow]

@tidal notch The German translation of the Prime Material Fabricator Manufacturing is completely wrong. In the English original it says „Increase the amount of fabricator coins in the borg type 3 claim by 1“
In the German translation it says „increase the payout of the crystal, gas and ore fabricator claim by 100% of the base value“ which implies the prime will double the material output.
So I burned 100€ for a prime that doesn’t work as described. Is there anything you can do?

[tidal notch]

Pinged you. Will pass the translations issue on.

[gilded dock]

no one knows what they get from pulls anymore cos it instantly disappears

[vast oyster]

Okay what did i get here?

[haughty sail]

ship parts 🤣

[sleek sparrow]

Yes, this, it's so basic, this isn't about complicated development work, this is basic communication and courtesy.

[blissful bluff]

Example I open a chest in Borg tech Charged Nanoprobes -> Independent credits, it opens and I get what I have but I have to give it back to be able to open something else. This didn't happen before the update, I selected the chest and it went back one. I don't understand why it changes

[finite mural]

Set the disable frequent game animations to off, to see your pulls again.

[frigid geode]

But then is everythin turned off 😦 and some things are useful, but for the hostiles chests its not useful. E.g. what did I get from the starter chests?

[vast oyster]

Ohh great, either spend 30+ minutes per day opening chests and know what i get or dont know anything? Who in their right mind would not find better solution than these two extremes???

[finite mural]

I'm giving you an alternative until it's addressed (it's been raised)

[unreal jolt]

please remove the refinery part from this list or give it a separate setting, i want this enabled for everything except refinery claims 😪

[blissful bluff]

Thx. I saw it in the settings, but it didn't occur to me to turn it off.

[vast oyster]

Easy, chests and chance pulls should be still visible, guaranteed pulls should be quick.

[frigid geode]

Thank you in any case. I'm currently wavering between on and off ... let's see.

[worn pulsar]

"Streamlined Research Tree Navigation". One improvement is a Research Tree is supposed to open on the first node that has research still to do.

It doesn't work for me.

Another improvement is faster scrolling.

It doesn't work for me.

Am I alone in this or did they simply lie (or it hasn't actually been implemented yet?)

[finite mural]

if on ios, the update isn't out, if pc or android, make sure your game is updated

[worn pulsar]

Ah, thank you. I checked for an update after maintenance ended and there wasn't one available. I just now checked and it's there.

[serene dragon]

New collections is absolutely 💩 You can't see what you are getting.

[finite mural]

Set the disable frequent game animations to off, to see your pulls again.

[zenith vortex]

@finite mural honestly I love the new update on that I got tired of confirming what I got, I mean it helps for faster transition Great Uptade 👍 😁

[solid briar]

Been stuck loading at 76% for like an half hour now ......even tried clearing storage and nothing still at 76% reloads don't work all afternoon downloading the new update.....

[low narwhal]

The new qol update for opening research trees was a complete and utter waste of time because there's primes at the start of all the research trees. So unless you have literally every prime done it won't ever work

[worn pulsar]

I know. I read it.

It's a half ass solution to a big problem that will only continue to grow as research trees expand. We need a show/hide button for maxed nodes.

[brazen prism]

scopely can keep promoting pointless new ship with loop. This arc offers nothing for G6 players. This is going to be one of the worst arcs ever

[worn tundra]

My feedbacks on last update:

1. Research trees - useless, and i almost didn't note those "enhancements";
2. The new screen of chest open: for Store is ok, but it stays on the screen: in stores that needs a cool down time, it is very bad...as the same mechanic is now used in loot chest, I HATED IT !! Now i cannot analize the loot i have just receveid. Cause the ani.ation is fast, tine icons and fade away really quick, not to mention that the new ani.ation should require some serious processing in the server, causing even MORE lag !!!
   The GS31 IS A JOKE . A really bad and ugly joke.
   I want my money back !

[dapper ocean]

Anyone know exactly how much you get of each thing you get with Prime Start Bundle Prime?

[dapper ocean]

Thank you

[serene dragon]

When are you going to sort out the multiple times you have to click to actually 'Claim All' & it showing as still available after you've gone through all those clicks????

[keen loom]

So I see new chaos tech. So nice to know that when Scopley cares, they can make something happen, while we continue to wait for fixes to things they don’t care about. I know, I know. You can join me in not being shocked.

[unborn halo]

why fix broken stuff when they can break more stuff
