first one i suspect omega-13 fron the NESA; the cube thing is how those have been showing for a while sometimes. it's weird.

[dusky zealot]

Are you happy now Scopely? You think the merge brings more cash?
You have no idea what server you put us on 😡 Please bring 163 back

[vast oyster]

I gave that and it was ignored, as dozens of others. So now you are stuck with memes and disgruntled players. #freeDTI

[thin shard]

Thank you, that makes sense.

I remember seeing the Omega symbol on some ship, probably this one.

The Cube beem defeat is really strange. I wonder, if the opponent see this as Victory or Partial? 🤔

[polar crest]

Oh, the irony/hypocrisy. Tell us, sir, what's the history of that iconic Ferengi Whip hanging in your office!?

[pure plover]

I'd like to think the damage has already been done by scopelys pathetic attempt at "balancing" the DTI Store, something that has been like it for months, allowing those who bought the ship to benefit massively. Only to get changed as soon as players start getting close to getting the ship without paying.

Still heard nothing from scopely regarding how it "balances" anything, except for it punishing f2p players who don't buy the ships. Or how the somehow missed it for MONTHS and just happened to miraculously stumble upon it days before people get close to getting the ship for free.

Or how CMs seem to be allowed to insult people on here, but as soon as people voice disagreements with scopely tactics, they get muted/banned/comments deleted

[violet elm]

So Scopely is actually the Orion Syndicate? Makes sense 😹

[warm crater]

just because feedback was not directly acknowledged or immediately implemented, does NOT mean it was not seen or ignored

at the same time, it's really hard for anyone providing feedback to feel like their feedback is valued or seen if literally NO reaction is made to it by someone who can do something about it

and at the same time as THAT, it's a hard balance for anyone managing a large community with a lot of very strong, very varied, and a lot of good suggestions to be expected to react to every feedback post or suggestion

[polar crest]

https://tenor.com/view/that-escalated-quickly-gif-13528303

[pure plover]

You know I actually think Orion Syndicate has limits 🤣

[tidal notch]

I don't think we've insulted anyone here. Mutes and warning were sent out to players who have broken server rules. But generally speaking, players have been free to express themselves.

[pure plover]

Personally I think your mods have, and I suspect many others would agree.

When you get called an organised mob, which generally is a group of people who are going out of their way to commit criminal acts and such it is a derogatory term to use the term to label others who are voicing an opinion without using foul language, insults, etc.

You also have mods that honestly need to learn what spamming actually is. Spamming is 1 person repeatedly saying the same thing hundreds of time, NOT hundreds of people saying the same thing

[keen loom]

It’s not that cut and dry. It boils down to rules being open to interpretation. As black and white as we want them at times (official discord rules) they are open to interpretation and context.

Are some quicker to act using the rules as a shield? Sure. No different than any law enforcement in the real world.

It is what it is, and that really shouldn’t be the focus.

Up and until Jess commented above and showed some compassion for what Scopley churned out this week, there has been none, from anyone in positions of authority, and or compensated by Scopley.

Ethically and morally, Scopley’s actions this week are suspect, at best. Affecting change on those topics should remain the focus.

[grave quest]

i’m personally insulted about being lied to being told it was about balancing as well as being told we were an organized mob.

actually i’ve been very vocal on both these points so i don’t know how anyone can say they do not know….

[coarse sundial]

bty thnk you for compo meow like this one

[last sluice]

It isn’t about balancing at all.

In inherently unbalanced as for months and months some players have benefited from this mechanic. That was as designed. And now it’s taken away.

Without warning
Without any communication at all.

Presumably with the hope that if they can yank it relatively quietly. Many won’t even know how badly they’ve been stiffed.

The reasoning is nonsense too.

And the compromise. Isn’t a compromise. It leaves a window open for some but screws others

Something is absolutely clear though

If a paid for mechanic can be pulled. Can we trust anything bought in future ?

[pure plover]

Of course it isn't about balancing, anyone with half a braincell has worked that one out, the timing was terrible for anyone to even consider what scopely said as the honest answer.

You don't balance something months after introducing it, you don't balance something just as f2p players start getting the ship.

[grave quest]

be careful. i pointed this out too and they warned me for “calling for a boycott” 🤣🤦‍♂️

[last sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/kyrie-irving-nba-just-asking-questions-just-wondering-questions-gif-18643485

[violet elm]

Yeah it simply does not fit a person who’s supposed to set an example to lash out like that - and not the first time I might add. Calling us an “organised mob” means nothing else than calling us criminals. Uncontrollable/Violent. Seriously?

Spamming also isn’t really one person sending the hashtag or the meme once or twice or even three times. That’s far from spamming. But if you have happy trigger fingers siting behind the screen and things don’t really change. 🫠

[surreal condor]

I don't disagree with any of this. I do appreciate how you've laid it out here very succinctly.

Typically, in a situation like this, I would try to have most of the feedback go to a special channel so that it's easier to go back and advocate / relay the sentiment. I wasn't available this week (corporate laptop decided to blow up and I'm a remote worker, so it's challenging to get things fixed).

But even that doesn't really help when you look at the entire chain of events.

(for those who don't realize, I do not work for Scopely... I have a day job somewhere else)

[grave quest]

as far as i have seen, you have been the only mod that has been 100^ behind us, showing empathy and compassion, trying to fully understand, not jumping to conclusions (e.g. saying we’re an organized mob) amd so on. you have my thanks!

[surreal condor]

I've been here a long, long time and view my role as being a community advocate, not a company enforcer (although I do also have to enforce the rules here sometimes). But I'm a gamer too... and I have been in this exact situation and I know how upsetting it is. It would be hard NOT to empathize with you all.

I think the points about what this does to trust are very valid and I will continue to highlight that in discussions with the Scopely folks.

[pure plover]

The unfortunate trouble is, you will always get people that take it to far from either side, no one should be able to blame you for doing your job, or having issues with your job. Scopely should have had more people on hand to deal with the issues themselves

It just also goes to show even more poor planning on scopelys part that they introduced such a huge change with no warning, just as f2p people are about to get the ship and reap the same benefits that those who bought it months ago have had. I cannot honestly believe scopely didn't know about the "unintended" abilities in the store under the guise of balancing when it had been like it for months.

It does also make people very unlikely to want to purchase anything from scopely, knowing full well that scopely will just randomly decide to change how things have been for months using insane excuses

[violet elm]

I’m so glad to have you here. It shows really that Scopely is disconnected from the player base. How can you not communicate properly? How can you decide against the very people you are making the product for? How can you not want your customers to be happy with your products? There’s so many open questions, feedback and requests… it’s all a mystery at this point. It’s not the first time. Everything would be fine if things like these be mistakes that happen once or twice. However it’s a continuous, energy and joy leeching experience. That’s exactly why players go bonkers. It gathers. Like a storm. And then when you also have mods going against you… ouch.

[surreal condor]

I just sent a very similar message in our chat with staff and devs. You folks aren't alone in this. I' m sorry if it felt like you were.

[last sluice]

I would never complain about any mods.

There’s patch notes for game changes. And multiple other ways that things can be communicated.

Not that the communication is the biggest issue with this. Doesn’t matter how it’s frames. It’s still bad

Definitely don’t get told this as much as you deserve. But. You are appreciated

I will only ever abuse and defenestrate the stupid discord robot net Nannie’s if I cause an ai apocalypse from my abuse of them. I will still stand by it. Atlas bot can suck on an entire bag of em

[opal crane]

Someone say there needed to be a Cott for Males?!? 😍

[surreal condor]

Cotts are not comfortable!

[grave quest]

ignoring the communication, the worst part is the timing. it is so suspicious because F2P were getting access to the store. It was a hurtful move to the player base. It can only be seen as malicious in intent even if that was not the case. The so called compromise just adds to it as it is not really a compromise at all. a compromise would be those items being taken away from the store once maxed including officers. instead the players are getting the short end of the stick. it is too obvious that brokely only cares about money. not our money! investor money. the money they get from packs is cool, but no one with this game installed is their real customer and i doubt they could be bothered to even pass gas in our general direction.

[kind granite]

Scopley took a dying server, S22, and merged it with a healthy server, S56. Thus, they imported a rogue alliance who respects no one that was solely responsible for the slow death of the server they were on. Now, that alliance is bring on an all out server war because of their attitude and bullying of other players. I, for one, will protest their decision by refusing to spend any more money on this game. Why waste money on a game where you are treated like a serf and forced to cow-tow to the demands of wallet warriors and bullies? Congratulations, Scopely, you shot yourselves in the foot again and it’s your own fault when others leave the game. You wanted more money and, in the end, will actually be rewarded with less.

[grave quest]

https://tenor.com/view/hang-first-time-smiles-gif-14991372 happened to 185 too.

"and has been meticulously balanced to accommodate different Ops grades"

somehow i am very curious how this will hold up ... also i am pretty certain i know how it will go 😦

[dusty monolith]

Free DTI! Scopely you’re gonna get our money one way or another but let us have this one thing back. Put the DTI store back the way it was.

[weak stream]

That just means it has added cooldowns

[carmine marten]

Hard to be excited about new upcoming changes in the shadow of this week’s DTI changes. What would normally be great is “eh, so what,” because scopely demonstrates how much they do NOT think or care about us players. Am I supposed to just pretend the betrayal didn’t happen so I can applaud and enjoy new updates? Sorry, just not going to happen. Apathy continues unabated

[opal crane]

I've said it a thousand times and was told by Rev that it's totally not that way..... Scopely 100% pushes out 'broken' things to then turn around and do the whole "We'll give you this one, guys!"

Whip? Broken? Not a day that I believe that it was not exactly what was intended to be. That's why they released an event that SAME DAY that would require either mining Latinum for the entire 24 hours of the event with a un-equipped Feesha OR an hour with the "broken" Whip? Yeah. They push out trash with the intent of turning around and promoting it like they did something "good" for the community. To buy our approval.

[errant brook]

#⭐-official-announcements message

Not sure how we should be excited about new stuff when we got treaten like this .

If it's good, Scopely will find a way to ruin it again like they just ruined their reputation.

#DTI-Gate.

[mossy acorn]

New Away Teams sounds great!!

So did DTI 4 months ago. But now the value of that has been drastically diminished.

Trust has been broken. What great new feature from the Away Teams refresh will be nerfed in 6 or 9 months?

#freeDTI

[ebon slate]

New away team update sounds great, looking forward to the revamp 👏

[trail zenith]

#FreeDTI. Also, we don't need another hostile grind and given recent events having the phrase "and has been meticulously balanced to..." in a post is ludicrous. Your company just hosed us a few days ago and that won't be forgotten or dropped until full rollback of DTI changes. You can't pacify us with new content that may or may not be bogus, but for sure was not "meticulously balanced" since you are willing to change things for the worse at any given moment for your players.

[unborn ether]

is "meticulously balanced" going to be the new "quality over quantity"? i hope not, but must admit that would be funny 😛

[jagged anvil]

Devs are all out of ideas by turning the ATAs into another ridiculous hostile loop

[frozen tusk]

Not going to trust any new content given the treatment we are currently receiving #FreeDTI

[trail zenith]

This thing can rot for 29d 18h as well. I'm not accepting your bogus handout to a low intelligence change that only harmed the bulk of your player base.

[tribal nacelle]

Where are we with the complete rollback of the DTI faction store? I've been busy with incursions today but there isn't enough distractions in the world to make me forget this slap to the face. Funny thing is that as it stands, I don't really seeing my wallet cooldown going away very quickly either. #FreeDTI

[tough cypress]

Generally, Trust with Scopely is broken. First, they broke the gaming function with no warning. Then, they outright lied about why they did it. And the compensation chest actualky made the situation worse, because it conceded that the action was wrong, and the announcemt highlighted the lie--all with no apologies, and all arrogantly calling for us to "understand". All on top of a "compensation" chest that was insultingly small in the grand scheme. Trust has been broken for quite awhile, but this was the last straw for me. And, as Scotty said, "there have been plenty of straws!!" Lol. I personally won't be spending another dime until this decision is completely reversed, and scopely announces changes in their decision making process to prevent simular occurances. I want to see corrective action.

[keen loom]

No one really cares about the new junk in the announcement. Lame attempt to direct focus away from DTI. This isn’t going away until it’s corrected.

[molten shell]

Oh good. More loops to a loopless feature, and new currency loops.

[keen loom]

Don’t forget. Soon they will add a cool down to that loop in the name of balance too.

[carmine marten]

Some feedback for scopely: be kind to your arc runners and try to show some appreciation to them, even if you don’t respect us. Tell them it’s your, scopely, fault for taking attention away from their hard work and efforts. That you, scopely, cast such a large shadow this week that makes it difficult for a lot of us to care about anything coming out now that should be exciting. Props to the arc runners but hard to care about any of it. And any lack of engagement, in whatever form that takes, is a reflection of you scopely, and not the arc runners

[agile slate]

What else is there really to debate here? The silence and half measure sure seem quite unbalanced. Roll back the dti completely

[boreal ferry]

it’s truly something how you managed to pre emptively ruin one of the most anticipated arc in ages. i don’t see myself investing in this loop because why should i if the rug can be pulled at any point? might be first month ever i dont even buy battle pass

[foggy elm]

Does anyone find it coincidental that many of the officers that had unlimited pulls in the DTI (Leslie from Shakedown, Borg Hugh, Vael and Tolra from Symbiosis) are now also part of the new Away Teams redesign in the Expanded Augment Faction store?

[astral acorn]

@tidal notch I know you're tired of hearing this, but DTI should be reverted as your superiors have diminished any trust garnered by them from the past 6 months. I should be excited about the Wrath of Khan arc, a new FC, or even the revamp to Augment faction/Away Teams. However, based on the DTI debacle, why would anyone be excited if these fancy new toys can be altered at the detriment of the player? Even a ViP would logically be hesitant about spending on new features if in 4 months that feature has such a significant change that their "buy in" doesn't mean anything anymore. The change to the DTI store eliminates my ability to choose what I want for rewards, prior to the change I could go all in on an officer for one currency and the artifact for the other currency but that is no more. The math shows that even if you had 0 officer shards, in order to max Talrah which takes 1500 shards it would take approximately 5 months to do. Why would that be such a problem? Even if the concern would be for Transporter Patterns, it really would change anything with those officers. So that leaves the artifacts as a possible culprit for this change, which also doesn't make sense. The potential problems for Scopely in regards to unlimited cooldowns on these artifacts don't come to fruition until a player's account has an Artifact Gallery of lvl 60+. At that point, a player can sink DTI credits into the lvl 8 artifact to get 120 temporal disruptors per shard of overflow, for remnants or to sink into other artifacts. Those artifacts that you can sink the currency into are a year old at this point so an ops 60+ probably has a good number of them at t8+ anyways not to mention adding rare Xindi directives to the S31 faction store opens the floodgates to disruptors anyways. The packs clearly aren't a problem there either, so what is the problem? I propose that future artifacts don't use disruptors/remnants and we keep the unlimited cooldowns same with the officers.

[oak hawk]

That was my thought when watching the Away Team video ... It's clear someone said "we will not sell as many primes if we allow people these officers in the DTI" .... #FreeDTI

[whole timber]

It's funny reading all those post were people keep saying it's Scopely, scopely did xyz. Not really Scopely is a compagnie, made of individuals. The fact here is ONE of them took a bad decision and can only come from high in the chain of command, since it doesn't look like someone high enough to make the call to not change paid content. That individual , who we might never know the name, as achieve only one thing. Break trust , building trust is hard, rebuiling trust is harder. Here the breach of trust is pay x$ get n feature. Now it just showed to everyone : pay x$ , but said feature can change at anytime. That is a steep hill to climb back from.

[astral wadi]

Need ask are guys ever going to let get ships docks without spending that cool comp gift

[fast anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> could you ask the team to add more g5 nodes? the node availability got worse after server merge was bad enough pre-merge 188. thanks

[unborn halo]

thats why they merge, they want you to kill each other, so people spend more money to get stronger to kill more people/not get killed

[opal crane]

It's why Scopely introduces token systems and then throws PVP events IN the token systems. Giving limited tokens.... so people get mad and buy packs to be able to get out there and punch the person back. They know most servers play with some form of ROE, and ROE reduces aggression. Aggression fuels spending. So force people to be aggressive.

[fast anvil]

yep my bad for thinking scopely is human 🤣

[muted shuttle]

I’m guessing the away teams will be great, if you buy the packs for them, or a useless ship🤷‍♂️

[simple axle]

We just merged and mining resource is freaking impossible now

[fast anvil]

same for us, i just said the same thing above 🤣

[simple axle]

It is going to halt progress for players we need more nodes before people start to leave a few are already half way out of the door

[unborn halo]

they been mergering servers for years, and have never added mining nodes due to it. sorry.

[fast anvil]

literally do the same as what we're doing for dti and it should fix it 😂

[thick pilot]

Can I take it atleast?

[opal crane]

Not entirely true. They didn't add them FOR A merger, but they did add nodes in the Voyager systems.

[unborn halo]

based on what i said, they never added mining nodes due to mergers, yes, entirely true, and for those that just merged, having been through it twice, dont worry, within a month people will have quit/stopped mining as much and it will go back to normal

[muted shuttle]

I kinda get all the frustrations with the DTI nerfing, what I don’t get is peeps saying there was any trust built with Scopes. The last year has seen a massive push for revenue ever since they started selling packs for you to swap the tech you had already bought😂😂😂

[cedar crescent]

@tidal notch Can I say that I really like the idea of the revamped away team/aug faction. But can I also point out that this is the 3rd or 4th (maybe even 5th) addition to daily gameplay and loops that has been added with no meaningful additions to the IA system. None of the loops added to the IA are ones I have done for years. From my perspective there has been no benefit at all. Please can you priories other loops that still required some input from high ops players. It’s getting ridiculous the amount we need to do. Ie mantis, bajoran, exborg. There is a lot to like about new content, but there is too much.

[proven hound]

Invading entity armada

[cedar crescent]

Meh. Ignore that content now. Too much effort to get fatu krey scraps

Haha, good luck with that 😂 no1 criticism of all loops has been (for years) ‘no more currencies’
A sensible suggestion for Scopely: please cleanup the inventory, with actual categories or the ability to get rid of meaningless things - past event store currencies for example. Would that not also be a good business step also? Less load on your servers and computing power???

<@&509690795536941056> I'm still waiting for removal of timers on DTI faction store officer pulls! #FreeDTI

Your compromise reveals your true intentions, you wanted timers to prevent player from completing 10k alliance tournament tasks. How do the officer pulls having timers prevent you from losing money? They don't! Remove all the timers and set the store back to what it was. I'm ok with how the temporal artifacts are set now, at least I can pull and unlock and level freely and you have prevented people completing 10k tasks now. But officer cool down timers still don't make sense based on your reasoning! #FreeDTI

[keen loom]

<@&509690795536941056> just a reminder. DTI has not been restored to a state of play that doesn’t favor early adopters. We the players will not accept current state of DTI. The lame attempt to push new content to hush the demand for DTI to be restored to its balanced and fair state has fallen on deaf ears. Get it together and do something right for players. Restore DTI to its original state.

[warped willow]

<@&509690795536941056> I'm still waiting for compensation for the credit packs that scopely sold under the false presences of being able to openly spend them in the DTI store. This is the main reason we purchase these and they pulled the rug out after many people had already purchased them.

All of these packs need refunded if they aren't going to rollback the DTI changes.

Google and Apple both have policies against deceptive practices.

#FreeDTI

[frozen tusk]

Seconding what's said above, Scopely has sold packs under false pretense and there should be refunds!

Not worth spending on anything if they can destroy a set mechanic months after release, so I won't be.

#FreeDTI
#DownWithScopelyDeception

[keen loom]

The focus should be rollback of DTI.

IN NO WAY shape or form is the rolled out or the compromise state acceptable.

Two solutions exist:

Full roll back to original state. - fair for everyone

All players receive free and maxed DTI artifacts. - fair for everyone.

Scopley takes both options on the chin - fair for them given the outrage of the player base. Either of the above options is a small price to pay.

As players, we can not trust that anything posted in the official channel is accurate, that game mechanics are thought through prior to release, nor that any dollars invested - won’t be negated by Scopley greed the next day.

Scopley has created an unacceptable state of provider/client relationship.

shouldnt have to apply it, skins effects happen the moment they are unlocked, not when applied. you may have to undock and redock the ship though for the changes to show up. kinda like when you switch lorca and 7s ship efficiencies. they dont actually work until you undock and redock the ship, then the number of parts needed goes down

[rapid sorrel]

Is Scopely here? Your merge is a total fail, please bring us back to 163 Hasperat

[pure plover]

They might be here, they are probably in hiding because of the FreeDTI where they've annoyed a massive portion of the playerbase, judging by how they have "fixed" the "balance" they are not likely to listen to any actual feedback they get here

How about adding 5* ship parts to the 30 day chests when we get to level 50.

[proven hound]

That would require a minimum understanding of the game.
They are still working on balancing the PVP brackets. Currently they are evaluating if they add G4 too that the G6 at least kill one ship

[vale wasp]

It's often the case on exchanges that have cooldowns that the highest income pull isn't the most efficient.

[brave saddle]

@tidal notch FC Khan coming great character wise I get but you all neglected Shran from Enterprise. How come all Fleet Commanders are almost all white humans with Spock half? No Khan doesn't count imo. 🤨

[stoic plaza]

Old school Khan doesn't count? As in Khan played by Mexican actor Ricardo Montalban? Okay 🤨

[brave saddle]

No a Mexican playing an Indian does not count. They put brown face on him in space to darken his skin. Besides this is not about the actor. Fleet Commander Shran should be there. I suspect they modeled this FC after his whiter (non bronzer) version in the movie with the same name as the arc. I want Shran is main point.

[analog narwhal]

So you want the white guy who is painted blue? How about we don't care about whatever race they may be and enjoy the characters...

[polar crest]

Yeah! At least the Orions don't put a gun to our heads and force us to cough up money in order to... to... uh... line? (Looks for a teleprompter or cue card)

[keen star]

Make releasing the upcoming arc throughout the preceding week the new normal. People in my alliance are actually excited for the upcoming content, instead of the usual ' I wonder what broken BS scopley is going to try and sell next month' narrative, it's been a lot of 'FC Khan is gonna be so dope!' In all honestly you guys should be all about creating POSITIVE HYPE. That's all, looking forward to the next month for the first time in a while.

To be honest here, the quality of your product isn't close to good enough to be mysterious, you gotta sell us on it. Or maybe you're right in keeping hype down to match your poor quality?

[brave saddle]

Well you see it's starting to be an issue. Fleet Commanders are some of the best characters... yet Scopely seems to only include those that look a certain way. Also as I said not really about the actors. Unless you think they are real aliens.

[gilded escarp]

So with the rollout of G7 (Yes we know it’s coming with this arc, you don’t have to hide it anymore) can we expect you to fix PvP brackets to make them more “balanced”? <@&509690795536941056> or can we expect you to make the game in a different direction than what most of your players want? If you think and ops 70 hitting down to ops 45 is “important” to the game, you really don’t understand you playerbase’s needs or wants, aside from all the other whale centric content you force down our throats. Also…. FREE DTI

[wraith arch]

We had our first contested takeover since the server started March 2024, and players are constantly having to restart their games (whether on PC or the mobile apps) due to the intensity of action in contested systems. It would certainly lessen frustration of the players if they're not having to restart their game every five minutes or so due to intense PVP action.

[rose spear]

Yeah. Lag was terrible today during the one that I was involved in. It was horrible

[polar crest]

Look at the source material and consider the era it was written in. Then consider the entire history and trajectory of the shows in their day and age. Pretty white landscape, right?
I'm half-Asian, half-White, grew up in SoCal, went to university in SoCal, have friends in Hollywood, so I absolutely understand why diversity and inclusion, representation, all of it, matter. (I also get that it matters more to some than others.)
For me, and I don't know how many others, one of the (big) draws or hooks of the game is nostalgia. So tapping old major characters will mathematically go the way you've noticed, especially the even more limited pool of Leaders and Starring Roles.
But, hey, enough from me. You must surely have lots of great suggestions to constructively contribute to go alongside your criticism; hit us with them!

#freeDTI lift the officer cool down and let us master temporal artifacts!

[white drum]

Ok if your 42 or above I guess

[brave saddle]

I already said FC Shran. I am not white as well mixed of a lot of different races. Yet when I look the Fleet Commanders they are all look white and look human. Strange for a game with so many races or species. It seems that only white looking humans can be the best in STFC. How come no Kligon FCs? Andorian? Already mentioned Shran which they ignored. Why not an Empress Hoshi FC?

[polar crest]

For context, did you grow up on all the TV shows and movies, then come to STFC? Or is STFC your first/main exposure to Star Trek?

[brave saddle]

This is a place for feedback. I am giving mine. You seem to only be disagreeing with me and not giving any. I grew up watching TNG with my Grandma starting. Then moved from there. I only call out things when I see it. We have 7 FCs now. However this is not a place for a full discussion. Contact me directly if you wish.

[astral acorn]

I don't think FC Shran would sell, I'd like more non human FC but realistically the only ones that would sell are Worf, Martok, or possibly Gowron. However none of them will release until we have another DS9 arc as they'd fit the theme nicely. Personally I don't have a gripe about FC Khan, after all he's an iconic Star Trek character and Ricardo Montalban did a great job

[brave saddle]

Yes Geordi come to mind because in Picard he ran the Fleet Museum. I thought they were doing something like that but then they made the archives. PIC Geordi could be a FC as well. Then move to non humans

[astral acorn]

I wouldn't be opposed, just thought your complaint was asking for nonhumans

[dark plover]

<@&509691205798592532> Can you please help S94, we are the only one server opened in Dec 2022 its still locked in ops 60.

[rose spear]

It is certainly worthwhile to raise it, but that is all we mods can do. We will mention it to the CMs.

[astral acorn]

I feel you on that one, s101 was ascended i believe 2 months ago and that was my argument then. Id recommend pinging a CM on Monday as they probably aren't in til then

[steel dragon]

The great Montal-Khan as an FC. Booooo. I want him as a ship commander.

And get rid of than lousy khan wannabe , Benedict. The real Khan had charisma and charm to go with his violence. That loser in the reboot just had violence.

[tough cypress]

Obviously, Sisko s/b a Fleet Commander--if you follow ST history.

[tough cypress]

Scopely, Please note: PVP is only good, or enjoyable, when it is COMPETITIVE. A 70 hitting a 45 isn't competitive, nor is it enjoyable for either player in the long run. <@&509690795536941056>

[brave saddle]

We need to move away from just white humans or the next FC will be Marcus from kelvin timeline. My #1 is still Shran. For the record I am pro T for pres. Yet when i see things i have to call it. 7 FCs now... space is very multiracial ST is... but FCs are not. That is what i am saying.

[glacial spruce]

Scopely nerfed DTI, won't fix bugs, won't communicate with us, called a cash grab "balancing" and folks are worried about the race/species that are fleet commanders. 🤯

[opal crane]

I'll be sleeping on that Cott for Males until Scopely undoes their anti-player decision to limit the DTI Faction Store. Pound sand.

[clever snow]

This reaserch will stay after new Away Team?

[astral acorn]

Yes all research will stay but they are going to move things around to make room for the research added on Tuesday

[errant brook]

I wouldn't bet on it.

Just take a look at what Scopely did at DTI and the poor guys who bought DTI Credits or how they screwed up paid items like Kirshara.
Usually Scopely doesn't continue with old stuff and just add something new while ignoring the old stuff. FC Lorca for example alone was better than at least a dozend G4 and G5 Primes together.

[kind rampart]

I have huge banks of Charged and Static credits. How am I supposed to spend them with the cooldown on officers. Remove the cooldown!

#freeDTI

[waxen patio]

The best thing about the DTI was that it reduced the amount of daily claims you had to do. With the cooldowns it’s just another boring faction store that adds to the daily hell of claiming stuff.

#freeDTI

[flint spruce]

instead of solving the problems, something is broken that has helped the players. hey but that's called quality. #freeDTI

Probably behind a paywall of some sort, then as soon as f2p get close they will just change it

[sage terrace]

Territory stability is horrendous!!
7 times my ships got stuck and had to restart the game. Why oh why can't we sort that out

[ancient sandal]

ya maybe they should apply their magic limit impulse speed fix to TC too as it works so well in arenas 🤣

[proven hound]

I bet <@&509690795536941056> @tidal notch & @raw fiber have just abandoned this channel and they do the Scopley thing by just pretending they don’t see/hear anything. Pathetic claiming it still as an improvement and as balancing. A slap in the face for every single player. And soon they will trying to sell us the new arc as a big improvement and value and what so ever. And max. 6 hrs later another announcement will be in stating they‘re investigating something that is „not working as intended“ (still they didn’t realise it’s for the whole game).
Know that you can’t silence the players voice! We will be there until you reinstate the initial DTI settings!
#freeDTI

[warped willow]

Not much point in spending on anything when they've shown they will just go and remove the value that people paid for, without refunding the money people spent.
Classic bait and switch. That is prohibited by Google and Apple and it's a condition for being on thier app stores.

#FreeDTI

[ancient sandal]

Well that's what they did for years replace old loops and content people spend thousands on with new pixel garbage that's just part of the business model

[tired roost]

I've always wondered why so many people here misinterpret the role of CMs.
Guys, they're Scopely employees first and foremost. They get their salary from Scopely. Their job description certainly doesn't say they're supposed to fight for the rights and well-being of players; rather, it says they're supposed to promote all the Scopely nonsense and sell it to us like it's manna.
And, of course, they also collect feedback. But not to make you happier and more satisfied. Rather, they do it to see what you'll accept and what you won't, so they can adapt their future sales strategy.

[proven hound]

I hope that the ones who bought stuff will report this via AppStore feedback and stating a misuse through changing mechanics that were paid for

[keen loom]

You aren’t. You have been told to admire them like the gold in Fort Knox. Scopley said congrats for the work earning credits, the store is now closed.

[proven hound]

Don’t get me wrong, I’m fully aware of the status of CMs.
But still I believe that they (Managers) are not seeing the whole picture and don’t get the mood of the player basis.
It’s a basic understanding of what drives sales more…. A positive minded customer will more likely buy packs than one that isn’t sure how long he will have a value of the purchase.
And sometimes it belongs to your job to delivery also bad news.
But seems as they have a culture of ignoring the problem and just pretending it is not there.

[ancient sandal]

That's what they have the whale discord for 🤷‍♂️ the feedback channels here are just a trash bin for them

[proven hound]

Well, There comes the biggest part of miss interpretation. They underestimate how important the F2P are for the game and the whales only wouldn’t be happy long enough without smaller targets to crush or, even more importantly being admired for being a whale!
So reputation wise it’s not the best move Scopely made.
We will perhaps see with new arc if players just don’t care about Scopely adjusting everything to their profit or if sales is going down due to the players lost trust.
It’s in everyone’s hand to decide.
#freeDTI

[tired roost]

When it comes to sustainable strategy, yes, build a reputation, then profit from it, maintain a loyal customer base, etc.

But Scopely doesn't seem to be interested in sustainability.
Their methods rather suggest that their strategy is to get as much as possible today by fully exploiting human weaknesses, and tomorrow, well, they'll think about tomorrow tomorrow. It works very well, even better than the old-school "satisfied customer" strategy. 🤷

[dark plover]

This is why we don't have infinite incursions? The only server 1 server in other zone? But why we have arenas, really scopely fix it.

[dusky zealot]

Scopely we are still on server 145, no one asked you to put us on there.
Please bring us back to 163, we already missed one Incursions now 😡

[trail zenith]

You've gone silent after a pathetic compensation and a failed rework of the DTI. I do not accept these changes and many others don't as well. When will you realize it's a complete rollback or the rage continues and the spending stops.

#FreeDTI

[keen loom]

The role of community manager is truthfully misleading, as I’ve said before. It would be better suited as Communication Manager. Then again that also implies two way dialogue.

There really is no benefit to the player base for the role in its current state.

Any avenue players have of providing feedback AND actually being engaged in constructive dialogue that leads to meaningful, balanced, and fair action does not exist.

Let’s define a couple things before Scopley goes off the crazy train:

Constructive dialogue: two way conversations with people who can implement change, not act as a conduit that can misinterpret, misunderstand, etc. This is definitely not community managers in the current state. There is zero provided by community managers other than “I’ll pass this on.” We’ve years of track records here with unanswered “pass on’s.”

Meaningful, balanced, fair: Issues important to players or Scopley. Bug fixes, actual agreed upon balance in all aspects. Communicated time lines for the above.

Too long have real issues fallen into the abyss without player representation, appropriate avenues to impact meaningful dialogue, fair play and balance.

Until that changes, this is going to continue to be dumpster fire, after dumpster fire, and will continue to result in subscriber loss.

Let’s fix the communication issues as a start. Just a reminder communication is a two way street, NOT one way.

<@&509690795536941056>

[gentle shale]

I’m going to lightly disagree based on 6 years of playing and dealing with multiple waves of folks that fell in the <@&509690795536941056> role and the changes I’ve seen. To start with, @tidal notch IMHO is the best front facing CM I’ve ever seen here. He’s not only willing to engage when things get rough but in getting news out as soon as he can. Sometimes it’s a matter of news we love, news we hate, and news of compromises - which by their nature won’t be loved by everyone.

That said, the role of Community Manager has expanded beyond just monitoring a single #💬-general-feedback channel. There have been new channels added to enable not only #💬-general-feedback but to include #🤝-help-each-other and #🏆-event-chat and #💬-events-feedback and #💫-event-information . Are there other feedback gathering forums not open to everyone, maybe. 🤷🏻‍♂️

To be frank, to expect a 2-way conversation with those that make the decisions is not only overly optimistic but borders on the unrealistic. Those running the business are too focused on running the business to also stop & have a chat with everyone providing feedback. That’s why roles like CM exist. To not only communicate with product owners to get updates to things like fixing Inventory but other issues. When things (like #FREEDTI) breakout it is much easier to get attention; I know from personal experience in the tech area of a Fortune 100 business. But not everything can, or should be, considered a major fire.

What I’d love to see from @royal solar and her team is a view into what’s in the backlog and prioritizing. We know new stuff will be prioritized highest, but what about Inventory or just eliminating entirely things that no longer make sense (eg, worms). A view that enables, ‘This is what I’m looking for, this is what’s ahead of it.’ Having visibility enables a 2-way mechanism of knowing your wants are there & how they stack up against the all of everything.

[gentle shale]

@royal solar … since I just name dropped you … I appreciate in the P1ATA blog and Captain’s Log w/ Domen, the references to changes being driven by player feedback please reply with any insight as to when Inventory issues are going to get addressed?

As a player, I’m sure you’re familiar with the nightmare that is looking to know how much of something you have (eg, Borg armada directives before accepting an Alliance Tournaments) in Materials and Other and dealing with Ungraded and Misc.. This a QOL issue and needs to be looked at and addressed, and should be a fairly easy fix.

Right now, things are unalphabetized and thrown in based strictly on when arcs rolled out v. how they align w/ like items. For example, all Armada directives should be together … not spread to the four winds.

Then there’s the issue of currency from the ghosts of events past. After playing for 6 years, I certainly don’t need to be reminded of cash left on the table. But if it could be categorized as “Event Currency” that would be great; same w/ event items like Intel Brief - Miles. I know some would like to cash out old currency for something (eg, strip of lat), I’d be happy to just have things organized.

Eagerly awaiting your reply.

🖖🏼

[thick pilot]

Will we get compensation tokens because there is a shield bug going around when you activate it but it sometimes disappears even when you are offline @tidal notch

[nova sierra]

This is a mystery“bug” that’s been around for 6 years, yet I’ve never encountered it… doubt you’ll ever be compensated… maybe try restart game to confirm after every shield activation!. 😂👍🏻

[grave hawk]

I took a couple of days away, haven't spent in over a week. Trying to get my mind right cuz I would like to keep playing. Over a year ago, quality of life was supposed to be the big emphasis. In some respects that has been true, however, mostly it has not. It took me 2 hours this morning to do all my clicks, All my armadas, waves and dailies. I'm an operation 68 player, with great officers and research. I can get things done individually easy. But when you sum everything together it's 2 hours of busy work. I'm on server 49, which is Farmville on steroids. So there's not a lot to do for people who like to do PVP. Are there any significant plans to lighten the load?

[thick pilot]

They should gives compensation everyday

[nova sierra]

No they should work on fixing real issues than false game balancing issues.

[grave hawk]

Exactly. I was banned a few days ago for supposedly espousing boycotting the game. I was not espousing boycotting the game, I want more people playing. I miss the hundreds of folks that have left since the 48/49 merge. 95% due to in-game issues such as what we see here going on now with DTI. I would just ask people be much more circumspect with their spending. I personally have no problem throwing money into quality.

[true ferry]

The mergers need to stop,all they are accomplishing is running players out of the game,I never agreed to them and never will,they hurt gameplay more than help it... enough

[gentle shale]

I’ve never been in a merger. My understanding has been that it just takes two servers w/ low populations & makes a single server w/ a larger population. What happens during a merger that drives people away?

I can see on my server there would be issues over ROE (either replacement of one or the other or integration of both). That and dealing with any new overpowered thugs.

[twilit prairie]

#freedti Scoplay needs to stop stealing from its player base

[nova sierra]

I’m ops 70 with maxed artefacts so the DTI change doesn’t really affect me directly, it’s just another annoying set of clicks!
However, the justification of the change - balancing - is complete nonsense and only serves to further deteriorate trust and hurts my lower level friends… without those friends, the game wouldn’t be worth playing, let alone further investment. Do the right thing and revert the DTI settings back $copley! <@&509690795536941056>

[hollow lintel]

No doubt this is the most click heavy game in existence. I was banned for pointing out how crappy it is in responding to customer complaint, but boy they are Johnny on the spot when asking for money, just not in providing solutions to terrible design and programming.

[royal solar]

You asked me a question I cannot answer, because I don’t know the answer. 😅

But to the other point about visibility behind the curtain, etc., I can address. There have been a lot more articles and videos that we have done addressing work in progress, work on the horizon, and what it takes to get there on the backend. The team views having this transparency as vital and important for players, and it’s something we will continue to make space for.

This being said, I don’t know everything. But I’ll try and see what I can find out in the areas you’ve mentioned.

In regards to releasing more “behind-the-curtain” content about what’s being worked through, expect to see something sooner than you think! 😄 This is new for us; anyone who has played this game for more than a year knows that we didn’t used to talk about anything in the works or even give previews into what’s coming, or even share WHY certain things are designed as they are. Obviously it’s an adjustment, but a project I’ve been happy to be a part of. From a player perspective, updates of upcoming content or in progress QoL are my favorite. Thank you for the feedback—I think that’s something we can be more upfront in addressing (priority level of projects/improvements). We did that with the IA video, with Domen talking through the priorities and why certain loops will take priority over others. But we can incorporate this piece into more content and communications.

[tropic crown]

It can kill server pop and cause another merger. One server merged doesn’t care about having an ROE or stronger than other and people leave etc.

[fast anvil]

1. too many ships doing dailies in the same system so its actually harder to do dailies.

2. mining systems, unless they expand nodes, are just a pain in the butt to do

3. the roe right now is a complete mess.

4. redoing tc all over again. not all of us have the time to actively partake in tc again and again

5. the horrible lag when too many players are doing actice actions in a system, hitting hostiles mainly tbh.

these are the issues i found after my server merge. other than that, the other server saying we should not mine with warships or use g3/g4 miners on g4/g5 nodes and yet majority of the people that go against this rule is the opposing server people which is kinda confusing to me but thats a problem for the higher ups 😂

[slender monolith]

Generally condensible down to “players were comfortable, now have to do things, so give up”

[gentle shale]

Thanks for the reply and the acknowledgement you don’t know the answer, [in sarcastic tone] I’ve certainly never been in a similar position because I always know the answers. 😂🤣. Life would certainly be sooooo much easier if I did. 🤓

I really enjoyed the Domen video and I had an ‘aha’ moment that the STFC is spread across not just a single country but across the planet. To me it gives insight as to potential reasons why somethings may seem to take longer in bubbling up and decisions to be made. The only thing faster than warp 9.9999 is the speed at which everyone wants information.

I look forward to more of your videos & showing behind the curtains. More information on “why” is always important; my job at retirement was doing internal/external communication re: technology culture change to 10k technologists and a national audience of similarly situated companies.

Thanks for reply & insight.

[royal solar]

Oh absolutely! We are global, and certain departments are in certain locations. This may be something we should share more about. But you’re absolutely right in terms of there sometimes being a delay in regards to some areas. Things like features are usually managed by our teams in Dublin and Barcelona, while live events are usually by our LA team. So an event may get adjusted quicker than a feature depending on when the issue is raised and makes it back to the team. And it goes both ways. I spend my mornings catching up on what happened while I was sleeping. 😅

I look forward in helping get more of those out to the community. Thank you again for your points, and I hope you have a great rest of your weekend. 🖖

[worn pulsar]

How come we can get "helps" from alliance members for everything except tiering up ships?

[keen loom]

We can agree to disagree. The roles need to evolve beyond what they are and have been. What’s happening in the here and now is not acceptable.

[worn pulsar]

What are DTI settings and how were they modified?

[gentle shale]

I won’t disagree that continued evolution is needed. I’ve seen evolution happen from CMs who never responded to anything even when tagged. I expect to see more.

[gentle shale]

DTI is a Faction Store that had a number of things that you could buy w/o cooldown. Most of the folks that bought the Relativity during the Voyager arcs took advantage of the lack of cooldown and bought their way to maxing out favors & officers faster than what the “powers that be” expected. When they imposed cooldowns, those just starting to be able to do the same found themselves locked down & at an apparent disadvantage.

Essentially, a mistake at launch wasn’t shut down earlier.

[tidal notch]

We haven't' abandoned this channel. I'll do better to reply on the weekends.

[worn pulsar]

Gotcha. I still don't have a Relativity, 🤷. I'm about a month away.

[pure plover]

Just in time for them to change it again to screw over the f2p player base again.

Same with all the talk about helping players and getting them to advance quicker, they'll do material refinery upgrades and everything else, except for doing a bonus parts refinery, which is what people actually need/want

[warped willow]

Instead of accepting thier mistake and making it right, they decided to dig thier heels in. They are fully committed to making this as unbalanced as possible.

#FreeDTI

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> ok, I'll admit this is clever.

But even then #freedti

[keen loom]

Engagement is more than”I’ll pass this up the chain” which falls into the abyss and is never heard about from Scopley again. I’m not saying the current CM’s stink at life, I’m 10000000% saying they need to get a million times better at following up with the COMMUNITY on things supposedly passed up the chain.

It’s that lack of any follow up of substance that drives most mad, and leads to repeated topics and disgruntled players.

[gentle shale]

Now I see & understand your point. With that I won’t disagree but makes me wonder what bureaucratic realities between them & those they rely on to get information to share back.

[keen loom]

I do not doubt they face obstacles. I doubt highly anything has been done to attempt to right the ship.

It would be amazing to actually have a player council - representative of ALL player types, no more heavily weighted by F2P than P2P, or hybrids - who can be the players voice, and have a seat at the table to get existing content stable, have input on future releases, and can accurately represent player concerns.

Make em sign NDA’s - and make them have terms in office, whatever - but give them the ability to represent players consistently.

[mighty rock]

Forget #Gailagate and #freedti, where's #catalystgate? 😦
Just noticed my daily FT tier-up catalyst pulls went from 6000 to 1200........

[tidal notch]

This is such a bummer to read on a Sunday morning, but I get where you're coming from.

I'm really sorry that you feel like Pauly and I haven't followed up on a lot of players requests and feedback. I'll do better to communicate the changes that we get.

[finite mural]

this was a fix, the values were swapped to what they were supposed ot be

[mighty rock]

Doesn't make it any less of a terrible change... That favor was exciting, cuz it was the first good sourcing for that stuff we had.... They could have left it and promoted it to entice players to do Arenas more...

[keen loom]

I’d love to offer a suggestion. I would love to see community created forum style channel. Mods and or you two can link player posts that you have sent up the food chain, and can easily then reply to those once you have responses. It should be super simple to organize and manage within discord. You can even divide the forum into categories. Game performance, officers, ships, whatever.

Probably would make life much easier on ya’ll - and gives the players easily visible and traceable responses.

[mighty rock]

To be fair, though, Forbidden Tech as a whole needs an overhaul. Chaos Tech is great; I can level it at a reasonable pace, and I can swap them around as needed within reason, but by comparison, I have to be way pickier about what FT I level, and even pickier about when I swap it. Reworking it to be closer to Chaos Tech would make it infinitely better.

[rough niche]

..you know its coming.

New artifact tech.

[grave hawk]

I've had conversations with many community managers, usually what happens is they attempt to nicely steer away from the problems at hand and point out to the one or two things they did right over a given month.

[opal crane]

It's all psychological sleight of hand. Scopely has always done it and the community has always slowly forgotten and moved on. Let's hope everyone speaks with their wallets. I got plenty of these Cots available.

[carmine marten]

Great job releasing previews and teasers - except my heart isn't in it #freeDTI

New content looks exciting - except I have no excitement for the game at all anymore #freeDTI

Changing an established mechanic 4 months after release is a breach of trust, and a change in terms for something people bought into, wholly unacceptable. Doing it without warning, and without any truthful attempt at justification is all the worse. Full stop.

All the above said, as has been mentioned, this is a job, so please try to enjoy your weekends, CMs. And #freeDTI

[limber oriole]

Not excited at for for the new content, especially when scopley has proven time and time again they will screw over the f2p or light spenders in favor of how much they think they can get the whales to spend. My wallet has closed to this game until remedies are made.

It's gonna slow my progress, but I will not award bad moves like this that mess with players who uable to even engaged in the loop yet.

[ancient sandal]

not excited cause it's just the next same lame content loop addition 🥱 with 5 year click to collect plan or cash on it like there is no tomorrow adding more 💩 to the already super busy daily click and event schedule.... it just feels like they add another gimme all your money cash out before the game is completly dead

[grim granite]

yes sometimes game is laggy but mostly a fun place to escape stress but look at this i push help button and get error msg for around a month is has made a research slot non-functional and noone will help me i still spend but my gameplay is slowed to a crawl

anyone know how to fix

[pale vapor]

I also have that on one of my research slots, support was useless. Someone suggested leaving your alliance can fix it, but I haven't tried that yet

[carmine marten]

Not sure about a fix, but for possible work around, go to help section under alliance tab, then the ask for help sub tab, and see if you can click from there?

[glacial spruce]

Does anyone else find if hilarious/pathetic that Scopely "balanced" DTI yet can't balance pvp? Or SLB brackets? Or the amount of time needed to claim stuff vs. actually play the game? I'm pretty sue we got to the point where there were enough 60+ players that slb brackets could have been adjusted long before DTI became an issue.

[slender monolith]

PvP is balanced, the more you spend, the better you do.

give back our fusion rods when scrapping rev ships

[scenic siren]

Why are wave defenses available at level 30, when a group of 30's are barely able to progress past the first wave, let alone any other? Ops level difference is too large to make it any fun. I would suggest breaking up the ops levels further to allow even match ups. Lowering hostile levels in the early waves would definitely make sense. Lowest level 28 FKR hostile during wave 1 I saw was just a bit over 5 million. How is this feasible when there are ops 33 players with a less than 3 million salidan, and the next tier (grade 3 rare) available at ops 32 will probably reach that only when maxed? Introducing a random pick up group probably wouldn't be a bad idea. My two cents.

[keen loom]

I think the point here is being missed. Scrolling through a feedback channel chat, to look for things that have been responded to, is inefficient, and chaotic at best. Do I think that there is room to improve in all aspects of the game as well as how the community is interacted with, absolutely. That is why I’ve suggested a different style set up that allows for topics, responses, and the ability to easily identify where we’re at on any given feedback item, suggestion, etc.

[steep solar]

Shouldn't scopley be residents of Grethor? 😉

[half roost]

Let’s make this a true may the 4th by returning the dti refinery back to its lack of timers

[nova sierra]

Yeah the level/difficulty that is kind of ridiculous. I believe we are meant to buff ourselves up through the favors, but it's very hard to start out from the beginning without those favors.

[woven jay]

the same reason there are armadas you can start but can't beat with all low 30s
it's group content and so can be done with higher ops players in your alliance
you really don't want to complain about having access to things at lower ops because from now on you are going to find yourself locked out of content whether you can do it or not based on being lower ops than scopely wants you to be

[scenic siren]

The buffing through favors, I believe that too. Its probably the only way to make any headway. And definitely agree with you on being it too hard to even start out. I'd practically be begging on galaxy chat for a carry.

[unborn halo]

the final tier of el-aurian revenge strategies is programmed horribly, it unlocks at t14 revenant, but you cant get enough of the epic research material to research it until tier 15 when you scrap it. then when you scrap the ship its locked again until you bring the ship back up to tier 14..........

[unborn halo]

its also stupid that you have to keep paying to reunlock the forbidden tech and chaos tech slots on it after each scrap....

[cyan torrent]

I believe that's what they refer to as 'balance'.

[scenic siren]

I appreciate your opinion. I also agree with your statement and grateful about this being group content. Which I am all for. I don't agree with your comparison to group armadas. Yes, you can reach as far as your warp range allows and participate as such. However there still is a baseline the lowest ops level can still complete without needing the help of a vastly larger alliance member. For instance, a level 21 Armada with a power of under 300k. More accurately when you reach 23 to gain access to armadas, a level 23 Armada at under 600k to promote the group teamwork. The first wave however, at a lower level, you're limited to the few survey ships that may or may not populate. As I said in my previous post, the lowest FKR hostile I've witnessed, a 28, was just over 5 million. Most players wont reach that til roughly 33 or 34, possibly 32 if you're able to obtain that level faction ship and push through your speed ups to max it out. I'm all for challenges and the rise of difficulty, and if I or anyone for that matter is able to make it through to the second wave let alone third with a group of 30's, I'll be silent and push forward. But you shouldn't have to call a higher ops level to bail you out. Is this a tactic to get you spend money on the game to push through? Possibly. That would be a whole other conversation in itself. I'm pointing out this is a short gap.

As for the complaining? No my friend. Constructive feedback. Stated an issue as I see it and simply gave suggestions on possibly how to fix it. If Scopely decides to take it back, readjust level requirements, and I'm no longer able access the content, so be it. There shouldn't be this big of a disparity on the lowest level of any instance or run in any game unless there was hardcore difficulty setting you chose to play through.

Cheers!

[woven jay]

yes it's possible to do them in the 30s. the content is 18 months old and at release three members of my alliance at ops 34 34 39 played them together and started off barely getting three waves down, then 4 then 5 with practice (and I mean 3 manning then because we didn't want to pester the high ops players)
you are right they are tough pre epic but a group of all g3 can do them. I know because I did it, yes it was hard but I wouldn't have gotten to do it at if they locked it away because every low 30s player decided they had to do them without even the help of a 34+

[scenic siren]

I’m glad you were able to get over that hump. That’s my point though. I can see it being possible at mid 30’s with hard work like you said of course, albeit to wave 3, 4 or 5. You’ll have access to epic faction ships, or a beefed up rare, possibly a leveled up researched ops 28 ship. Not sure how high they can jump just yet. Lol. Even then in the group you mentioned had an ops 39 friend. But to summarize, if they fixed the gap in power between 30 and probably 32, I’d be a happy camper. As would probably other up and coming players that stick with the long game.

I’m enjoying our back and forth btw 🙂

[ripe jetty]

remove reputation packs when maxed.

[gilded escarp]

They would, but that would make it harder for them to waste your time/money if you misclick

[astral acorn]

Maybe in a couple months they'll raise the rep and lock half the items in the faction again for "game balance"

[fast anvil]

don't give them ideas 😂

[warped willow]

They won't remove it, they'll just put a timer on it.

#FreeDTI

[astral acorn]

They've set a precedent that they can do whatever they want months after a release, we as a community must push back #FreeDTI

[pure plover]

#FreeDTI is just going to go the same way as Arenas, ignored and hopefully forgotten.

Probably have more chance of winning the lottery without buying a ticket than scopely not screwing f2p players

[astral acorn]

Then let's make sure not to forget and drive our point down their throats

[proven hound]

We will not stop !

[kindred lotus]

Please be mindful when choosing the font color. Red, blue, and purple are really difficult to read.

[dawn sequoia]

Arenas: Trying to move from gold2 up is brutal. In lower levels there was a difference between win and a loss. Seems as soon as you get to gold2 the win and loss are the exact same score albeit positive and negative. Been stuck for weeks not being able to get to gold1. Win some and then loose. Very frustrating!

[fast anvil]

[keen loom]

An example of nice neat organized topic threads, easily identified, searchable, and well organized including tags. Takes very little effort.

Clean visibility utilizing this style for the players where items have been sent up the food chain. Quite easy to then reply when a decision is made.

[wide solstice]

Still no response from scopely yet are they just going to ignore everyone now,

[keen loom]

They have a content release tomorrow. You know, the one hastily pushed to shift focus away from DTI greed?

Well that’s nonsense. It’s the start of a new arc, the timetable for these is pretty much set in stone at this point.

[proven hound]

Tomorrow is a big day. Shows if players care if Scopely just change everything they want, even mechanics people paid to use them in the original version, or if players say stop! We’ve got it in our own hands not to buy BP or anything ship/officer/what so ever.

All I expect tomorrow is yet another release with a month of hostiles to kill that have some new mechanic. At least we're done with being force to do impossible waves for SMS

[keen loom]

You say that now. Remember DTI. 4 months in, things change. Solo waves will probably become a new daily based on ops, whenever the useless daily tasks are refreshed.

[carmine marten]

What a beautiful morning to care about this game as much as scopely has shown care for its players (spoiler: not that much!)

I know this might not be “constructive” but let’s be real, all the constructive criticism regarding DTI has been relayed at this point, there’s nothing new to share. Except to remind scopely that actions have consequences. And this last screw over was a doozy that will never be forgotten. #freeDTI

[rare vale]

While I agree with #freeDTI, why stop there? There are so many ridiculous cooldowns in this game.

[ancient sandal]

Yea… every month another excel sheet gets added to my endless collection for the next ship or loop. Star Trek Click To Progress Your Excel Sheets Command the only way to remember what the heck to do in 6+ months after the newest shiny toys are released… or reconsider if it’s worthwhile even starting them because they are already obsolete and replaced with other content… can’t wait for the next survey handed to us 3 days after patch asking how much we enjoy all the new content that is unreachable for the next few months without giving us an option to let them know we don’t care about it for the next few months.

[warped willow]

Another loop and another loop specific ship, how exciting. 😅

#FreeDTI

[molten jungle]

Unless they break their pattern, the ship would come in June. That being said, dismal sales of the GS ship might have pushed them to try and milk players this month. I expect their $100 item to be FC Khan.

[pastel herald]

you guys altered the timing of collecting dailes and it has many frustrated who manually back out and then go to next window and gets kicked because the timer from the previous window kicked in to auto kick,, REALLY getting sick of it

[frozen tusk]

Yeah, recent changes were Anti-Player and Anti-QoL, how can anyone be happy about an upcoming arc that is just going to add to the already long dailies time, and when the mechanic can be arbitrarily destroyed a few months later.

[limber oriole]

How else would they trick you into spending a limited currency? That seems to be the norm when maxing things now. Instead of them vanishing, YOU have to remember not to pull it.

Just another in a very long list of reasons scopley WONT get money from me until DTI is freed

[solemn oak]

Congrats on the matching Scopely, well matched

[carmine marten]

Event rewards are based on specific packs. Crystal events are based on a pack that can contain epic crystal. Ore and gas events are based on packs that do not have epic. Silly, but there we have it

Nah. The only empathy the player base got was from the mods. Don’t be going down that road. Don’t misdirect that rage. Keep that focus right where it should be - on corporate greed advertised as balance. The only balancing done in regards to DTI was Scopleys checkbook.

[opal crane]

Shooot, I can say that but you better be careful... looks like you're crossing an Atreides... you know what happens when Atreides get crossed.... I speak from experience...

[dapper bramble]

Arc launches are typically for spenders

[pure plover]

Always have been, but I'm half expecting them to DTI something that f2p are getting close to tomorrow, under the excuse of "balancing"

[upper parrot]

The new store seemed to have a lot of nice toys for FTP players to catch up 🙂 Drydock G unlock, Slipstream and Tantalus Field FTs (arguably 2 strongest FTs in game), Glavin artifact (again one of top ones) and lots of projectiles, officers and other stuff.

[clever whale]

New Store? Also… FTP Drydock sourcing has been on my list. Very exciting

[pure plover]

What have you been smoking? What new store?

[upper parrot]

Tomorrow new arc will bring expansion to Away Teams assignments. It comes with new types of ATA assignments, it will b e well explained tomorrow how the loop works, but the preview of store that was in Bek's preview video contained following items (and that is not all!):

[clever whale]

There’s a lot of good stuff in there. Really exciting to see

[pure plover]

Ahh fair I prefer reading, prefer to read the notes rather than videos, can't help but expect it to change in 3 months as players get close though

[upper parrot]

More is shown in official video that you can check link to in announcement (sadly I cannot link to it, but it is in official announcement channel).
I prefer reading too, but the preview videos are quite short as it is not everything from patch notes, but just a highlight of one part of coming changes, and I really liked the added items for FTP! They may take some time to get, but at least you can start on working towards it, which is better than now when you cannot.

[pure plover]

That is honestly what concerns me. Can see everyone who didn't buy them spending ages working on getting them, only to have the goalposts moved when people get close so scopely can "balance" things again just like they did with the Dti store as people got close to Relativity without buying it.

I hope the playerbase dont do what scopely wants and completely forget about how badly they have screwed players who didn't buy the ship with the "balancing" excuse, can see them doing it a lot.

[keen loom]

NEVER FORGET. DTI - fair for everyone or bust.

[pure plover]

It's scopely, fair will never happen, and I understand that much. P2p will always have an advantage, but the changes just as f2p are about to get the ship are just insulting

[glacial spruce]

And bugs...

Lots of new bugs, and some reintroduced old bugs.

[grave quest]

i for one won’t spend a nickel. why would i? They can just dti it into oblivion or “rebalance” it to obscurity or, well… anything. Can’t do it without trust and they broke that bad. (to keep CMs off my back, this is NOT a call to boycott and i’m talking about myself only. M.Y.S.E.L.F)

[grave quest]

don’t forget them lying about it being for “balance” 😂 They can’t even admit it was a lie. They just hope we forget. (which i for one will not, nor will i forget someone saying i was being insulting for telling them it was a lie and saying they should apologize) 🤣

[clever whale]

It’s fully possible to both be upset about the change to DTI and be positive about over things. Though let’s be honest who didn’t think no timers was too good to be true 😆

[grave quest]

if they were honest from the beginning i could maybe agree that it is possible to be positive about other things. instead, they lied about it being about balancing when really it was about getting too much alternate currency when those bits were maxed… but really it all comes down to them not selling enough of a certain pack type when other options were available that wouldn’t have hurt f2p players. they said it was about balancing and made a change that completely unbalanced it. so no. i disagree. they took an established 4 month old mechanic and said “it no longer fits our bottom line and now we change it”. Now that they did it and seem to have gotten away with it, they’ll just do it again and again. they told all of us we don’t matter and they don’t care about the players here. so no. there is no trust and therefore little to no positivity. maybe still only just a slight flicker of hope that they change their minds on this and backtrack to a more fair solution.

[carmine marten]

For those who can be excited about the new stuff, hey great. Me? No. DTI was the last straw in this toxic relationship. They change their terms, I change mine. Minimal screen time. Zero packs purchased ever again (for me only, personally). Playing a little because community, because I’ve invested as much as I have to date. Because some part of me hopes scopely will realize just how badly they messed up this time, and acknowledge and fix their mistake. But no, I can’t muster any excitement anymore.

[umbral thistle]

Zero excitement on the new arc as we all know that they can and will change things to make it worse for the player base under the guise of balancing.

Sourcing of lots of stuff previously paid only should be a good thing but it's dampened by the shoddy move last week. I'm half expecting lots of the stuff shown in the videos to have been conveniently removed from the store pre launch tomorrow

[trail zenith]

I'm enjoying my alliance. The game is in a terrible state and I've reduced spending to baby battle passes. Until the DTI change. I'm countinue to play and but I'll continue to demand rollback of DTI change and I'll keep my wallet stashed. They only understand money. The CMs aren't even chatting anymore and the overlords are deaf. Can we be excited about new content? Sure. But it's at best a distraction as they've continued to supply quantity over quality.

Speak with your demands on discord and your lack of spending in game. Don't let them give you a 💩 product and then normalize it by polishing it once in a while after leaving a steaming pile on your lawn.

Edit. Typos

#FreeDTI #NoCompromise

[thorn spoke]

Just wanted to drop by and remind you of how trash arena is. It will never be an esport and complete lack of balance and fun aside the lag is like the servers are running 56k. Do better, it's embarrassing. Respectfully with all due disrespect for forcing this on the player base. It would be a service to implement a surrender button but everyone knows you're trying to save face from having 99% of matches surrendered within 30s and having to admit how much of a fail this is. I am genuinely a nice guy but you deserve this dose of reality because you apparently have a disconnect from objective reality. In case you were delusional enough to believe otherwise 99% of the playerbase will endure it long enough to get the cheap blueprints and then will never play the mode again. Since that's assuredly what the majority will do you will end up with a discarded mode full of 70 whales complaining they have no one to kill. Even if I won every single match the mode still SUCKS and serves to take those just trying to get into pvp and leave them with a bad perspective of pvp in the game outside of this nonsense.

[oak hawk]

if my gut is right and a part of the new Away Team is locked behind a PAID Prime ... that will go poorly for you ... worse if it's some of the DTI officers that are locked behind Paid Primes.

[fast anvil]

theres no way u dont think something is gonna be locked behind a prime, its always been that way 😅 sucks buut its true so it is what it is. DTI is a different story

[keen loom]

Locked behind a prime, a faction, limited sourcing, and a timer JUST to be safe, In the name of balance errr greed! #remeberDTI @fast anvil

[trail zenith]

T10 to T11 NSEA is almost 3 months F2P. The ship and it's loop will be useless once it's close to finished just like all other ships and loops. They time gate so much which makes the DTI issue that much worse. Finally an open ended method and FOUR MONTHS later they make it as bogus as every other time gated mechanic.

[keen loom]

Preach on. I hear you. Scopley doesn’t realize that without the community - the game won’t exist, F2P is just as important as those spending millions of dollhairs. Alliances don’t have strictly spenders or F2P, it takes both types of players. They want to balance something besides the check book? Make some improvements for the F2P, and hybrid (semi F2P) to keep things fair for everyone.

[hushed rock]

This is why the game is getting boring

[trail zenith]

And what boggles me is every dolphin and F2P I talk to would always be more enticed to spend $20 on good quality content five times than one $99 pack to keep up with the whales.

i dont think theres a speicla ship, just away teams gatekeeping currency

[steel dragon]

I was hoping for the reliant, and a Ship commander KHAN, not another balance breaking FC.
And yes, my wallet is Firmly put away. No money until things get fixed. Arena, PvP bands, and FREE DTI!

[tough cypress]

That's nice. But no doubt, ineffective.

[tough cypress]

Yeah. I assumed Reliant would be the new ship. It's logical.
So i'm guessing no.

[grave hawk]

I should have said it's been on continuously.

[silk charm]

yeah. I don't think it gets turned off in feedback channels. I recall something about it being to try to keep conversations elsewhere. when #🌌-galaxy-chat gets slowmoded, that's when it's real bad.

[flint spruce]

What a quality, it took me 30 minutes to refine with various crashes and display errors. Hey but we are fixing dti.

#Free DTI

[acoustic geyser]

@raw fiber you've done it again... Kudos for patch notes at the start of maintenance!

[warped willow]

#⭐-official-announcements message

Can you make sure they know that this is the perfect opportunity to restore the DTI store to the way it was for everyone else, for balancing purposes, since they said that was important.

#FreeDTI

[proven hound]

Make sure you provide this feedback too

[left jungle]

And looks like again not more G6 mining nodes 🙈

[haughty sail]

Dilithium Destabilization: Ship has a 90% chance at the start of combat to destabilize the player’s Warp Core, instantly destroying the ship
Are you serious? and what are the odds of getting a ship next month that bypasses this... so predictable

[young ibex]

I suspect it's so that players can't use this new expansion as a new way to auto-grind.

[solar solar]

Scamley at their finest. So predictable. An Arc no one asked for. A feature no one wanted and a ship we never knew we needed 🤡

[acoustic geyser]

That's a big number... but the comma looks to be in a weird place

[young ibex]

I doubt we'll get a ship that bypasses it. One that does other stuff, like iso defense, or apex shred, for sure. A new ship that bypasses otherwise pointless chasers? Not likely. That little nugget that they're all but guaranteed to blow you up is 100% so that g4+ players can't effectively use the new Augment guaranteed chasers as a guaranteed autogrinding method. We've only been begging for it for years. Why give it to us at this point? A new ship that bypasses it doesn't fix the autogrinding part for all your other ships. So they force you to try to find other ways to source decent ship xp. Like latinum. So dollars.

[cedar crescent]

90% chance to kill my ship on combat start. Based on the amount of times my NX dies to a 30% chance you should just say, if the hunter catches you - then you die. Why even bother..

[limpid dragon]

<@&509690795536941056> now we wont be able to hoard krenim timeship and Janeway pocket watch shards?

[finite mural]

it's for regular artifacts

[tough elk]

So what's the best thing out of the Patch?

[grave quest]

adding to the desire to simply delete the game

[vivid nebula]

The whales get to spend even more #freedti

[hollow blaze]

Wow. Good patch notes. But where is DTI?

[limber lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/scopley-gif-2943756650533236924

[tough elk]

Really? I love the game. Sure, there are bugs and things don't always meet expectations but, if I didn't love it, I wouldn't play it.

[dapper bramble]

Im pretty sure that the powers that be inside this game are just laughing at all the dti stuff at this point. :/ they dont care

[tardy sky]

Thank you scopely 🙏

I'm so glad you fixed this game breaking issue

[warped willow]

I like the people I play with. The game... Well.. The game itself is alright. It's poorly managed by Scopely though.

#FreeDTI

[cyan torrent]

I don't even like most of the people I play with. I'm driven by hate and my sunk time.

[finite mural]

that was actually pretty game breaking and caused a lot of complaints, it also means that they may be bringing it back sooner than later

[tough elk]

Everything is poorly managed, from the company I work for to my wife. No one ever says "this was really well managed".

[errant brook]

mystery zeroes regroup on their website and will strike back soon

[warped willow]

I feel bad for you mate. 🍻

[wise quest]

I would take this as a sign we are getting a Boldy Go event again soon. I would be happy for one personally!

[halcyon peak]

Can we add chat to Arena’s? Or some kind of metric that determines someone is online? It takes so long to get a match because half the squad leaders are AFK.

[warped willow]

I'm still waiting for arena access, it still only runs when I can't play. Makes for an entire useless faction store.

[wide solstice]

Would love arenas to be on Saturdays, Mondays are such a pain

[halcyon peak]

Ok, add to my request a longer run time so it can actually be played.

[tardy sky]

The wording implies it's gonna be a new years event though 🤔

[olive nacelle]

I will quickly and succinctly summary new Arc for all here.

PAYWALL

Have fun folks! 🙄

[warped willow]

I'm not interested in spending on any of thier nonsense until the DTI store is reverted to its original state. Don't care. It's not worth it to spend now, knowing they will nerf what you paid for and don't even offer a refund. Bait and switch, as it's called.

[unborn halo]

arenas a purposefully during a time where less people can participate cause the hamsters powering the servers couldnt keep up if everyone could do arenas.

[warped willow]

Can't even keep up with the ones they got 😅

[foggy marten]

Login screen artwork isn’t as good as S31 artwork - they gave it to a new person?

[cosmic coral]

You're not missing anything the matching is so bad that it makes it pointless to play it anyway, tried it after the so called improvements and it's still the same, haven't been in that Store since.

[sinful socket]

I'd love to see a progress bar (similar to that of officers and ship bluprints) on Artefacts and Forbidden Tech items while collecting or in the store for them so I can see how many I have (or need) for the next level, or to claim the FT.

[cosmic coral]

Haha, my brain auto read this as 75,000 anyway, I had to go back and double check just then.

[rose tapir]

New update came with a new bugs list ahead of time? What are you people smoking there?!

Because pretesting and fixing bugs would be way too hard ahead of release? 🤣

[ancient sandal]

need to push new content for sales even if its the bugged half baked garbage they just released

[sour dew]

Server 29 is NOT up and Running <@&509691205798592532>

[latent timber]

Does the artifact conversion also auto convert temporal artifacts?🫠

[grave osprey]

Live yet game load sticks at 0%

[warm field]

Game tries to login, but crashes on pc.

[fringe pivot]

plenty of traffic here ^^

[haughty sail]

Yo dawg we heard you like loading screens so we added useless tips that load in slowly so you load while loading

[ancient sandal]

they could have added a tetris mini game to the load screen that often we see it stuck on retrieving after restarting game every 5 minutes

[quick gale]

Wow, they actually posted a bug list at launch of their improvements. That’s new!

[odd prawn]

bugs already before most people have even realised the game is back up...really guys you're outdoing yourselves recenty....so when's the next maintenance? tomorrow, Thursday & Friday?

[sinful socket]

That option would be in a bundle, and you'd have to pay to restart your tetris level

[acoustic geyser]

I read they fixed retrieving... looks good fellas 😉. I think my favourite part is the "as seen on"

[storm oracle]

Its also lagging like Hell, why putting an upgrade out which was not testet again?

[timber root]

<@&509690795536941056> Super massive lag

[rose tapir]

Scopely - To boldly break what no-one has broke before.

Looking forward to the comp chests that come with this new dumpster fire of an update.

[hollow blaze]

"we can't remove loading screens on a mobile game in 2025, let's add something more on the loading screen"

[vital rock]

seriously Scopely...

[odd prawn]

game is unplayable, huge lag, multiple crashes. time to take it back down <@&509690795536941056>

[proven hound]

You have to buy the anti lag pass,‘ only 99.99$ a day

[quick gale]

Laggier than the tax man with a tax refund

[odd prawn]

per day? what a bargain!

[ancient sandal]

all the extra clicks added to the daily routine so excited... guess i need third coffee now every morning for all the clicks

[forest zealot]

They probably meant per restart

[tribal osprey]

<@&509690795536941056> Respect Scopely, you announce a 3h maintenance and don't need 2h to install a mostly broken update and then you release the servers again.

You want to have listened to the players? WO
We want a working game, not anemic apologies and explanations.

Why don't you say, "Hey guys, we've noticed some problems, so we're extending the maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we'll keep you updated." That would be good.

But no, you'd rather follow the motto "Better a poorly functioning game than thorough work.

Please stop lying to our faces, please be honest with us.

#FREEDTI

[cosmic coral]

The hostile power jumps from lvl 38 upwards are just ridiculous, come on guys really???!!

If you want people to be engaged in the game you need to make it enjoyable to play, right now everything is becoming a chore and a frustration, you are digging your own game grave with every release!!

[hollow blaze]

At least you can log in to the game 😅 all I can see is the new tips on the loading screen.

[limber lantern]

Guys u also like the awesome performance QoL improvement?👀

[limpid dragon]

@finite mural Care to explain this then? I had hundreds of shards that was saving for Alliance Tournment, scopely erased them

[finite mural]

i still have mine/

[quiet portal]

Have maxed Feesha (which you can only get from having had a maxed D’vor) but now have to build a D’vor and max it for archive??? Genius….

Let’s hope they don’t do this when Franklin gets added to archive!!!

[limpid dragon]

@raw fiber this is serious I had hundreds of Krenim Timeship and Janeway pocketwatch saved that now are gone

[hollow blaze]

Not true. You could have bought Feesha from store without Dvor.

[graceful cedar]

but they can tell

[keen loom]

Looks like Scopley still can’t get it right. Another prime example of quantity over quality.

I must have missed it in the patch notes. Did Scopley finally do the right thing and return DTI to its original and balanced, greed free state? <@&509690795536941056>

[digital bay]

On Apple devices the awayteam update is not available it claims that a client update needs to be done but no update available for the game in Apple Store

[finite mural]

checking

[odd prawn]

So to do P1ATAs you have to go fight hostiles with an over eager go home gun, convert the loot from those if you manage to beat them 117 times and then.....then you might be able to start a P1ATA?

[candid turret]

Only the chaser has this

[cold yoke]

New mini banner of "upgrade your ops to increase your experience" is annoying as "your treasury is full". No we are not going to throw more money at this dumpster fire

[grave osprey]

Cant even get padt the upgrade your ops banner

[ancient sandal]

117 kills might be inaccurate it's more like the number of flights to the systems for 1 chest pull

[odd prawn]

no that was th number of times you have to process the loot from them

[ebon slate]

I like it. Maybe a couple of khan's crew lower left to mirror kirk and spock would have been nice though.

[unkempt osprey]

Excess temporal artifact shards are now being automatically converted into temporal disruptors. Which means no more stockpiling excess temporal artifact shards from Xindi armada turn-ins or the DTI store to turn into temporal disruptors during the Alliance Tournament. Not only did they neuter the DTI faction store, they have also eliminated a F2P way for a player to contribute big points in the Alliance Tournament. 0/10, bad move Scopely; way to shaft your F2P players.

[keen loom]

Instead of further nerfing things that matter to THE PEOPLE, figure out how to convert all that useless g1/2 garbage hostiles drop into something useful. Let’s keep a tab running for this junk.

-DTI
-Temporal Shards

Can not wait to see how lame Scopley pack sales are. Bet you right now there will be bonus BP in honor of some Hallmark holiday that doesn’t exist in an attempt to shore up monthly P&L this month.

[limpid dragon]

@unkempt osprey happened to me, they are looking into it

[unkempt osprey]

There's nothing to look into, it's in the patch notes. Excess artifact shards will be converted into remnants. That apparently includes auto-converting excess temporal artifacts into temporal disruptors. If this is actually unintended behavior I have to wonder how much Scopely is paying their test team because it is clearly too much for this kind of slipshod work.

[sharp salmon]

How the blazes to you turn of update you ops , I don’t need scopley to tell me , this is going way above ridiculous, you are losing players everywhere
Away team , really , pay for the privilege , omg you guys are nuts now

[keen loom]

What test team? The one that logs in, goes afk, comes back in an hour and sings Scopley praises after actually testing nothing?

[limpid dragon]

supposedely it would be only the normal artifacts

[weak panther]

game wont even load now

[unkempt osprey]

Here's the thing you may not understand, Scopely. You want my money. I have spent big money on this game. How you treat my friends who can't afford to do that affects not only what I'm willing to spend, but whether or not I'm even going to keep playing Star Trek: Cash Grab. Taking away a mechanism that F2P players could use to really feel like they're contributing during the Alliance Tournament is a heck of a gut punch. I get it, you want more paying players, but if you drive away the social F2P players, you kill the social side of the game and you're going to lose your spenders as well.

[hexed pelican]

This needs to be removed. On hunters this makes grinding the new hostiles almost impossible and thus the bew feature dead on arrival

[limpid dragon]

@hexed pelican send 2 ships to same system, a decoy and main ship, kill hunter with decoy

[young cliff]

Not sure who did the loot balancing, but the current state of affairs is everyone racing to find the loot goblins because the regular hostiles don't drop enough to be worth the hull repairs.

[rocky trellis]

Why were screenshots disabled on the Droid mobile game? I keep records of my crews on my phone because I can't always reach for a notebook. Please enable screenshots again. 🙏

[flint river]

First impression about update new hostiles: too much of a grind, can't kill higher level hostiles for faster grind because of apex barrier and isolytic damage, they are too strong. Have to repair ship repeatedly vs lower level opponents, and loot is too small. Bigger grind than any other at my ops. Discouraging.

[keen loom]

They must not want proof of game flaws. Can still screenshot on iOS.

[rocky trellis]

just realized i can't take ss of problems to report them to support. 🤦‍♀️ this might be the arc that does it for me.

[lost arch]

This new Loop is DOA. The hostiles are way to strong for the Loot they drop. Next Month with the new ship you can do it. 😄

[keen loom]

This is in preparation for next patch when a new Reliant is released that surprise/shocker/spoiler alert will be a cash grab or 6 month wait for a new ship, officers etc. You didn’t expect differently right?

Don’t worry, when released, it will be fine, 4 months down the road they will add extra time gates in the name of balance aka greed.

Don’t ever expect anything original, authentic or fun from this game.

For those of you reporting issues with taking screenshots, check your app permissions and be sure camera is enabled for the game. @rocky trellis

Responses combined due to slow mode.

[acoustic geyser]

Just me or are the hostiles waaaay overtuned? I get wanting to use the new fancy mechanics but hear me out. Even with them I'm still not punching decently into the G4 area (40+) with my tier 7 pilum, everything from 42 is in the hundreds of millions of hull and shields... For real?

Where do you even start to find the uncommons?

[cloud lantern]

<@&509690795536941056> i dislike the need of grinding 40 augments for my daily pull of uncommon credits so i can go for the ata required chest. i believe many higher level players will agree. at least add those credits in the uncommon rare and epic pulls as well or implement an extra token, please.

or finetune your lootbalance as we have to spend more and more of that loot to pull a chest with rising opslevel.

[limpid dragon]

@raw fiber@finite mural there is a bug in the construction batch new feature, if u take a building from 50 to 62 in one go, it will take 120 days, but u can only use Sigma Speed ups

[warped willow]

<@&509690795536941056> Further nerfing to the DTI is NOT what the players have been asking for. They just get worse and worse. Are they TRYING to tank this thing?

[solemn vigil]

If you're going to archive something can't you at least give us some credits so we can actually archive the whole thing

[winter oyster]

How do you release an update and the collection of chests got even worse? It takes forever to collect when it forces a splash screen and backs you out a screen. It’s unreal. Just release a $400 prime to fix it already.

[keen loom]

Of course not. They are trying to force more into spend. Come on now. We all know it. They would rather have two whale servers - cater to those dumping thousands every month, than have 100 with a mix of players that actually are a community.

[grave hawk]

Superbugs! Here's one

[fast anvil]

adding the hostiles in the new system is so horrible. I died 5 times to it already while grinding. they look the same and some have same levels as the system I'm grinding in

[oak lava]

Yeah 55-63

[warped willow]

If they chase off thier f2p they won't have a game left to milk.

Also, I'm not a huge spender, but I'm lvl 67, so I spend a bit. But ever since they nerfed the DTI store, I have no desire to spend. I spent money for credits for a feature that they went and nerfed after many people had already spent.

Zero point in spending if they are just going to remove all the value your purchase has, months after the fact.

#FreeDTI

[keen loom]

I bet the CM’s will be thrilled when those of us who fight for fairness hang up our pips and move on @warped willow

[winter solar]

New Augment Faction items? New Augment space? New enemies? I already can't keep up with Xindi, Aquatic Xindi, Silent, Gorn, Elaurian, Texas Class, not to mention standard Faction hostiles for Rep points & dailies. Are you kidding? This is getting to be a full time job & I don't want to work here anymore.

[warped willow]

I lost track of the endless torrent of pointless new loops and "special" ships that typically only have one use.

[fringe crystal]

Multi level building level is a good thing except when taking a building multiple levels below 61 to 62+. At that point speed ups need to be sigma speedups, even if the majority of the time taken to level is getting it to 61.

[grave quest]

after this release, i might just do that. if i wanted an abusive relationship filled with lies, gaslighting, ‘cheating’, ‘stealing’, etc, i’d still be married.

[winter oyster]

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

[lucid sage]

Thanks for the new away teams missions that I can’t do… not worth even trying when can only get about 60% success chance… makes me wonder how people lower ops level even have a chance.

[elder spear]

What a horrible grind this new augment is, need to kill way to many for even 1 chest pulls. will hit hostile cap before being able to pull single chests.

[cosmic coral]

Gotta grind the lows all day everyday to use in the Store, I see multiple lvl 50/60s in the lvl 40 system, whole thing is just another joke||

[quiet portal]

If you’re willing to buy the new ship…

[flint river]

new hostiles are way too fast. I feel sorry for players with battleships

[red rampart]

P1 away team missions are far too difficult to be worth the effort. The auto assign option is worse than useless as I have officers dedicated to crew presets who aren't normally on a ship (bridge crews). I don't want to just stuff them below deck as they eat up slots where I have officers with useful LD abilities assigned.

[ancient sandal]

can't wait to see the sms score numbers they will ask for on this months grind the new hostiles excess

[limpid dragon]

<@&509690795536941056> we need a comp chest with sigma speed ups urgently

[oak hawk]

Send ship to 26 space .... Notice ship is dead .... Nothing in the ship log ....

Guess this is not the new space to get ship XP (was not a ship I needed it).

[winter solar]

I've stopped keeping up with all of Scopelys new grinds ever since the Arena came out. I can't mine token space on Mondays & do Arena events. So, I'm done keeping up. You win, Scopely.

[acoustic geyser]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but.... Read the patch notes and you would've known that before hand. Guess you learned the harder way instead 😄

[devout quiver]

What arena. I ignore that section of the game. It doesn't exist

[lost arch]

No will not buy it. Atleast i found a good "sweetspot" to farm. As a 56 i have to kill 46 with a full loot crew and i only need 1 1/2 runs for a single pull. 😄

[quiet portal]

Nice, will try that!

[keen loom]

Like the matchmaking introduced by Scopley?

[trail karma]

Im ops 28, new augment looks great but now I can't see my data and have to scroll down access what I need to claim.

[lost arch]

You are OPS28 your BB Loop should be done. 😉

[acoustic geyser]

Don't be so hard on them. They have lots of priorities and a legitimate issue

[flint river]

You are slowly making armor/penetration sats obsolete. It slowly now all comes down to apex barrier, shred, isolytic damage/defense. Soon all those mitigation stats and penetrations, combat triangle, all can go into garbage bin as it becomes meaningless.

[idle vigil]

Am I hearing correctly, we have DTI Nerf #2 now today? disguised as a "Quality of Life" update?

[zinc terrace]

#freeDTI

also this hunter interaction just means no one will interact with these hostiles. They fill just freeze them.

[acoustic geyser]

That's the intent or did you miss the memo (patch notes)?

[oak hawk]

Yes ... making a hunter that is unkillable is BAD game design .

[woeful plume]

GREAT UPDATE i cant get into game on my computer

[brave spire]

Anyone else having issue's with the game loading on pc after the update?

[solemn vigil]

give us archive shards

[verbal pulsar]

Now that the D'Vor has appeared in the Independent Archives, do we have to keep a D'Vor active? What if I want to get the D'Vor Feesha? will that end those Archives?

[zinc terrace]

I realize that. But that only means players won’t interact with them. Why add them in? Why waste time time to add something players will never interact with?

I get it, they don’t want us auto grinding rep. So either don’t spawn hunters at all, remove their rep rewards or even the loot, or just make it a reasonable risk/reward interaction like the xindi battleships.

#freeDTI

[vale wasp]

PC users having crash issues should uninstall the community mod or update it.

[stone pike]

Xindi battleships are terrible, nothing reasonable about them. And these new hunters are just worse

[acoustic geyser]

I agree with you entirely. Game design is not exactly scopelys strong suit. They're just looking for quick and dirty solutions to problems they themselves created.

[grim granite]

game wont start now

[short lichen]

<@&509690795536941056> why is the tribute, hegta and ent-a not in the g4 pull for new away teams store? They are g4 ships. I can get those bps in the “legacy” part.

[torn basin]

These frequent game statements are super annoying and lagging me to death.

[vale wasp]

Are you ops 50+?

[stone pike]

Multiple new features for Away Teams but no button to claim all? That's the one update it needed.

Also these loading screen tips are annoying. I didn't notice loading before but now one pops up every other tap.

[short lichen]

I’m 49. But I have enough rep to be pulling them in away teams “legacy” store for months. And during the serris invasion store events. And the faction stores. For months!
If I can pull them other ways it’s stupid to exclude them now for this new mechanic just because I can’t literally build them yet.

[rocky trellis]

App is allowing screenshots again. Phwew! Not sure what changed.

[cloud lantern]

your ops and reputation are?

[hollow blaze]

<@&509690795536941056> So scopely makes a new grind which asks killing hundreds of 4 different type of hostiles. EVEN if there would be an idio who would do this daily he would be stopped by Daily hostile limit 😂

[short lichen]

Ops 49. Plenty of rep. See also my post just above

[rough belfry]

The bulk upgrade thing for bldgs is great. There are a couple of minor things I would like tweaked for it, namely having to the option to bulk upgrade based on rss available instead of just ops as shown below. But in general, its great.

[vivid nebula]

Stealing this

[dusky yew]

DTI rug pull and now yet another ark introducing a new painful grind to make pulls only to sell a fix to speed up grind they intently build to be painful is not winning over anyone here scoply

[keen loom]

People. Scopley does not care lol - find me a shred of evidence that says this company is anything other than profit at any cost.

[spice dawn]

So we are back with creating so time consuming loop that you will need to buy planed new ship to even consider doing the new loop. Nice looks like there will be no point in doing the new loop for few months...

[rotund nymph]

@vivid nebula 😜

[young cliff]

New augment loop is literally taking all the mistakes from the xindi loop and doubling down on them... Not worth the aggravation

[keen loom]

Here is how the day and week will play out.

Today the CM’s will be active for a little bit collecting “feedback” and passing on player sentiment.

Tomorrow we will have down time to adjust the hostiles to a little less ridiculous state.

The rest of the week, player outrage will continue, and nothing will change.

Just like with DTI.

Apologies if I’ve called the play today. History always repeats itself.

[storm oracle]

How long should we grind to open a box, 2 weeks?

[brave spire]

Thanks for the answer, all sorted now

[humble furnace]

Took me 72 hostiles to max pull common. Hit lower really low! Like the 40’s,

[silver jay]

I can’t log in? Downloaded update and now game gets stuck ‘adjusting’

[umbral thistle]

its so counter intuitive to have to hit so low for one loot, then another level for another loot, then another level and another level still. how many hostiles do they expect us to grind each day for this loop alone? - need to add a few more loops to IA to make this realistic

[keen loom]

They did. Dvor and Feesha. Wait. Those loops already didn’t matter.

[fossil siren]

please remove the irritating text when changing screen.......

[neon atlas]

What game is this?

[fast anvil]

make the new hostiles drop the mats in their hostile chests as well. the grind is too long

[cosmic coral]

So you can get the extra loot from the Surveys at lower levels, but they are literally like rocking horse poop to spawn and then allegedly a 30% kill rate, I hit one 4 times and died every time, next time I came back it was gone. Now we see high level players coming to the low level systems to get the surveys that are intended to help the lower players get the Unc/Rare/Epic loot 🙄 , another Arc not properly thought out by Scopely and will only benefit the higher level players, (I'm not blaming higher level players here, it's easy pickings), but this one at the detriment of lower level players, well done Scopely!!

[haughty sail]

this is quite a silly grind, needing 57 of the 40s with the max loot for the common drops and then rinse/repeat on the other tiers? sounds like quantity to me

[keen loom]

Quantity over quality favoring pay to play? Seems like it’s working as intended by Scopley.

[thorn nova]

He is such a starfleet fanboy. 🤣

[celest aspen]

100%. A player in my alliance informed me that his 33 mill eviscerator got taken out by a 800k Augment exile or whatever they are called

[toxic anvil]

That show perfectly that DTI change was only because of Alliance tournament task 😂

[fossil siren]

Nice to know that they still come up with new stuff......, new bugs........and they still ignore the frustration of the players. , multiplying existing bugs and problems etc. with more maintenance to come to solve it
They better call the game, Star Trek Bug Command

[storm oracle]

Which OPS are you?

[nova sierra]

So, what do you think? The Augment Shop is back, but you can't do anything with the old Augment Credits there; there's not even an exchange for them. And even if the exchange rate is bad, it's still better than nothing. I'm going to wallpaper the toilet with them now before they start to grow mold in the basement.^^

[humble furnace]

im ops 59, but lvl 40 hostiles give the most common loot. using full loot crew i get 55K loot per kill (max pull is 4m so average 72 kills)

[toxic anvil]

We all have to farm 40 for the common stuff to start, how ridiculous 🙈

[haughty sail]

100% next arc a new ship to speed up this grind, it's completely designed to feel tedious and annoying to sell you the new stuff

[vivid ginkgo]

ye

[celest aspen]

Plus the success rate on these new away team missions are brutal. Had to put some of my best officers together and still could only get a 45% chance of success.

[warped compass]

Still can't scrap hijacked ships.
The Great Kahn can't figure out cloaking on his hijacked ships.

[haughty sail]

nice, moved on to the uncommon ahd the story is even worse. 800k needed, drop with loot crew 7k... 115 hostiles a day. I though the 60 for the common was crazy... i havent tried the rare yet but that's no doubt even worse

[ebon jackal]

I am a little disappointed. I can't unlock the P1ATAs because I regularly do away teams research, so I don't have enough service awards.

Mine requires 267.3k service awards to unlock one, which is far and away from any of the researches I have done so far, that's enough for quite a few researches in the pre-existing tree. It will be a while, because I regularly do that research.

The end result is that I now have to hoard and not use service awards, in order to unlock the P1ATAs.

[sick egret]

No G Dock available for me in faction store

[old zenith]

Is the goal to show off the tool tips as much as possible or is the lag now bad for almost every screen switch?

[cosmic coral]

Same here, 42% success rate with best officers and a 4 day journey to top it all off 😂 , won't be wasting anymore on this.

[nova sierra]

🤔

[stiff latch]

@royal solar Where is all of the Augment XP I have been collecting since I maxed out the Augment store? You guys need to look at what we've collected and adjust our Augment factions accordingly.

[ripe thicket]

@raw fiber PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have them stop the messages between every screen change. It is beyond annoying. It is too fast to read some of them and it slows down doing daily collections or anything else. Changing systems, changing views changing menus, blinking, sneezing, crying. Please please please stop it. Do an emergency patch and remove it today.

[vale wasp]

What level are you?

[vale wasp]

Are you 30+?

[rain sonnet]

Totally agree!

[opal crane]

Scopely Press Release following the WoK arc: Figured I'd write it for y'all.

Now, some people, the haters, the very dishonest people, they're saying, "Oh, the new Augment grind, it's even worse than the Xindi Grind!" Wrong! Fake news, folks! Totally fake news!

We took the old Xindi grind, which, frankly, was okay, it was fine. But we said, "How can we make this even better? How can we make it more... special?" And we did it! We made it... well, let's just say it's now the ultimate grind. The best grind. Everyone's going to be talking about this grind for years!

They'll say, "Wow, that's a lot of grinding!" And they'll be right! Because we deliver. We give you more. More game, more... engagement. You're going to be playing this game for so long, you won't even remember what the outside looks like! It's that good!

So, when you see these negative Nancies complaining about the... enhanced gameplay loop, you just tell them they don't know what they're talking about. They're losers. We're winners. And this new release? It's a total winner. Believe me!"```

Did y'all really just rinse and repeat the Xindi Arc.... but make it infinitely worse? lol "Oh no! People are able to 'cheese', as the kids say, the battleships and we made them able to be killed before the big gun fires! We can't have that! We need to up the chance of dying AND make it impossible to bypass since it doesn't even fire, just ded! That'll teach them to be creative in playing our game!"

<@&509690795536941056>  Does Scopely ever intend to stop *punishing* players for being F2P and/or just being *good* at the game? Stop taking the arcs that are universally BAD as your guideline for new arcs.

[limpid dragon]

<@&509690795536941056> we need a comp chest with sigma speed ups

[ebon jackal]

37. I have most of the away teams research done for my level. For example, a max crit low orbit flyby will only give me 1530 service awards, and I would need like 120k more service awards than I have to even unlock it.

[odd prawn]

Ok...this arc is far too grindy already 🥱

[raw fiber]

I've seen a few similar comments come in, and I already passed along this to the team

[dapper bramble]

Please put appropriate amounts of hostile loot in the higher hostiles? its beyond stupid to make an entire server of 40-70 ops levels farm a single level 40 system for common
This feels totally untested and incomplete

[gilded escarp]

They stopped caring about f2p a long time ago lol they only pay attention to feedback from their top spenders, not even all their spenders

[opal crane]

For real though.

What do players like about previous arcs?

• Autogrinding/Passive acquisition of loot (Augment, Monapeen, etc)
• Not insta-being-deleted
• Just the right touch of complexity that it felt like you were participating in an interactive loop (Voyager, and I dare say Revenant)
• Great rewards (Revenant, Voyager, etc)
• F2P (ie. Not requiring a PRIME to actually really be competitive - We ALL know that Scopay is going to release a prime and/or ship that will reduce that % either entirely or partially.)

What do players NOT like about previous arcs?

• Needing Excessive grinding/TIME
• Being almost completely dependent upon SPENDING.
• Basically everything y'all release.
• Go home cannons (Seriously...... people hated 30% and your grand idea was..... 90%? daheck.... ohhh that's right... you're going to release a ship/prime that removes that. $$$)
• Tons of currency!

To the community and whales.... Don't be a scab. There's Cots for everybody available. #FreeDTI and #FixThisTrash

[limpid dragon]

@raw fiber@tidal notch can we get some compensation for the batch upgrade building consuming our whole sigma speed ups?

[raw fiber]

why?

[dapper bramble]

Bulk upgrades that cross from G5 to G6 buildings dont display sigma speedups in the cost

i mean people should know that they there... but its not displayed in the cost window

[muted shuttle]

New arc is 💩, don’t know why I expected more.

[torpid cargo]

It hasn't even launced yet....how do you know?

[tribal nacelle]

Give us the option to turn off the auto converting of excess artifacts... what a joke

[limpid dragon]

because i upgraded my parstell generator from 50-62 at once and the game consumed all my sigma speed ups

[half compass]

Me to

[opal crane]

Probably because we can already see how the entire loop works. And it works like tuhrash.

[muted shuttle]

If you wanna spend all day grinding augments, this arc is for you.

[fleet moss]

It just took me, at ops 34 (and 13m power total) nearly 2 hours to grind lvl 26 hijacked mobs to get enough for a daily chest (with a loot crew). Either I'm missing something and there's some way to increase the droprates or this needs to be adjusted to reality for lower-level players? 😦

[keen loom]

Working as intended. Creating value for the next ship, as I previously stated lol. Scopley economics

[rotund nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/kk-gif-15803140109120205266

[ancient sandal]

i am sure it's an oversight but the new systems should have a token cost to enter... add a daily claim for them and limit it to 1 entry a day please

[opal crane]

And run an event every day of the arc requiring two trips

[sick egret]

I'm ops59

[brittle reef]

Bring back alliance tags in front of names. Everytime I see this I think the player has no alliance.

[sterile current]

Bug caused by reorganization of "away" research tree: node "Survey Nacelles 1" previously had only requirement R&D 30. Now it has also other node, "Faction Agent", which has requirement Ops 32, meaning that you cannot research Survey Nacelles and a lot of other linked nodes, without ops 32. I am Ops 30 and this node was unlocked before update, now it's locked

[distant trellis]

New hostiles drop a couple zeros short of loot and to have to go to 4 separate systems to grind is really bad design so this loop is dead from the beginning

[ancient sandal]

i am surprised we don't have a survey yet asking us how much we love these new officers and how they much they help us with the grind so you can adjust the values on them to encourage more people to buy them

[gritty scaffold]

Is there any way to disable the new login screen tips? Pretty sure at ops 48 that I don't really need reminded on every login that Operations determines my player level.....lol

[keen loom]

https://tenor.com/view/dumpsterfire-flooding-fail-gif-9420889858387127994

[gleaming pelican]

The costs in the Augment faction store are insane. It takes several runs to get enough credits for a single opening, as compared to most farms where several runs nets you several days of single chest pulls. Either the hostiles are not dropping enough, or your costs are far too high.

[keen cloud]

This is the “problem”, next month scopley will sell the “solution” in the form of a new ship

[opal crane]

It's called "There's a prime for that", recently being loudly rebranded to "Scopely hates it's F2P player base and thinks your decision to not spend all of your money is spitting on it's mother."

[gleaming pelican]

Or a prime. Either way, I'll just add this to the list of content I won't bother with until/unless it's changed. Which full disclosure, I don't expect it ever will.

[proud narwhal]

the turn-in costs for higher levels for the common/uncommon loot needs to be lower

[final plinth]

this graphic says everything what is wrong with the new grind. The high level hostile should always contain the loot from the lower levels, so you don't need to grind 40s if you are ops60+ and want all rarities.

[zinc terrace]

Hey without testing this because of the extreme cost, what happens when a build is upgraded in bulk from g5 to g6?

Is the rss broken down correctly?

Are the speed ups broken down correctly? For example, are the 1-day speed ups for the g5 building timer all at 300 lat each? And then sigma at 1.5 mil?

Also how does the alliance help work? Is it the same total time reduction when taken in bulk? 10 levels of upgrade can possibly be 200 alliance helps.

[ebon jackal]

I found the free clain for service awards, but I chose the wrong button. Please start using standard wording, not "claim" for one button and "2 chests" for the other. It has a cooldown which (again) is not labeled. I wasn't really sure which to pick, because that wording makes no sense. Had it said one chest and two chests, I would have chosen two, because I need the service awards to unlock the P1ATAs.

I realize that you don't want to tell people what exactly to do, but confusing wording on a chest claim is not an in-game learning experience.

Edit: and now someone pointed out to me "claim" doesn't cost anything on there, but 2 chests does. Those should be separate, you should not be trying to trick people into clicking the wrong buttons.

[leaden junco]

Echoing the same sentiment that the loot drop doesn't make sense at all even with the inevitable ship next month. As noted it takes several runs to source enough. HOWEVER, everything else looks really good. Favors are solid and officer sourcing is all there, but unfortunately, it's all tied to this loot which is not enough

[elfin swan]

What's the point of putting 'useful info' on load screens that load in half a second and don't give you time to read them? 🤔

[fringe crystal]

No, the speedups aren't broken down correctly.You'll need sigma speed ups, and lots of them.

[sinful socket]

Please don't complain about short loading screens. I don't want them to issue a "fix" for that, and make the loading screens longer.

[shadow elbow]

Requires all sigma speedups

[fringe crystal]

Best way around the issue is to level buildings up to the level before sigma resources are required so ordinary speed ups can be used, then level up a second time.

[elfin swan]

Yup, the obvious fix would be to have info readily available...maybe like an in game help section (that doesn't take you to a website as it currently does).

[opal crane]

Wait, if you bulk push a building from G5 to G6, it uses Sigma for all of the G5 time AND the G6 time?

[zinc terrace]

Sounds bugged. A workaround would be to upgrade them up to sigma levels (60), then take things further after that.

[limpid dragon]

@tidal notch@raw fiber still no official statement from Scopely about the debacle of this arc launch? No answer on how they will refund the missing Artifacts shards to all players.

[shadow elbow]

Yup. I found that out the hard way. Put a ticket in and reported in discord

[fringe crystal]

Has done for me. Taking a level 46 parsteel generator to 62 started at 179 days, and only sigma speed ups will reduce it.

[final plinth]

also putting a 💀 on the go home hostiles was too complicated. At least you managed to put a on the loot hostiles...

[opal crane]

Wowwww, That's wild. I thought the last guy was just complaining about having to spend Sigma speedups..... to do sigma upgrades. lol he wasn't very clear. lol That's absolutely got to be broken.

[frank yarrow]

The loot hostiles are not worth the risk at this point to me (potentially others). It gives about 10x hostiles loot, but I died 8x in a row before killing one. At 90s warp, better to just keep killing the safe hostiles.

[molten jungle]

None are worth the risk.

[stray smelt]

Hit update hit play says in game then fails I've cleared my computer MSI of anything STFC and am still unable to get past play followed by In Game and no entry to game

[random pilot]

Only epic source till you can kill the 62+ hostilez

[finite mural]

if using the community mod, update to the latest alpha or uninstall it

[agile slate]

Your game is on cooldown. #freedti

[zinc terrace]

Next issue is alliance helps with bulk upgrade. Every level should get you a 1% reduction for each help. Does no one think of these things in testing?

#freeDTI

[final plinth]

Also: Too many player cramped into these systems. Just annoying.

[molten jungle]

I can kill some epic 62, but not trying for the 2 chest pull there. Also, the only gremlins worth hitting are the ones in the 62+ systems.

[opal crane]

Also, I want to reiterate.... Scopely can get bent .... but Thanks for finally fixing the Terran Forbidden Tech Gift at Tier 5. It's also been broken SINCE LAUNCH where the values were reversed. Not included in the patch notes.

[frank yarrow]

At 200ish per kill, hoping for a 50/50 kill rate, limited availability, and needing 8k for a single claim... That's a horrible way to spend time, but sure, someone will spend those multiple hours for a single pull.

[digital bay]

@raw fiber still no update for Apple users which means that I can’t upgrade to use the new awayteam update also game is very slow and buggy unfortunately

[left pivot]

funny how I maxed a D’Vor and converted it to a Feesha and eventually built another D’Vor bc I could and now the archives are limiting my D’Vor claim to a lower tier. Should I have not built a second D’Vor?

[molten jungle]

It's there. Go to the specific app page to see the update button. Always has been like that on day 1.

#FreeDTI

[tidal basin]

Server710: I would hate to be thought of as the person recommending that Scopely slows down the game even more but these tool tips and community tips are going by so fast that we have to record everything just so we can stop it later and read.

[opal crane]

lol wut. The 'Raw Latinum' option has Dvor parts.

[hollow blaze]

<@&509690795536941056> Tips on loading screen is good idea, but now it takes more time to load and almost every action needs loading screen. Shouldn't be it better to have no loading screen at all? And almost forgot: #FreeDTI

[zinc terrace]

I build 3 of them to max BUT I still have 2 maxed. So maybe it’s not recognizing that you got there and scrapped it.

[left pivot]

My point is why should I be tier locked on the D’Vor when I've already maxed one to get the feesha?

[elfin swan]

I have the opposite problem, the loading screens with tips load superfast and don't give me time to read them, also don't always have the load screen for same action (PC)

[elder plover]

For community tips:

Need to get somewhere fast? Consider using Discovery spore jumps.

Need to get somewhere fast?
Consider relocating your station closer to target

Your station was just attacked and another player is waiting there?
Instead of recalling ships consider gathering them in another system to relocate there - they can't find you!

Always respect other players!

Decide early which of main FKR factions you want to work with, and do only missions for them - when one faction rep increase, other decreases!

Try to plan out what will you be doing in next ops levels - prepare early by gathering blueprints and resources

There are many ways to get help with game - check games Discord at {url}

Each 22h you can collect Mission Key from webstore - it gives you more officer shards.

There are additional free chests on PC and more bonuses.

You are out of tokens to get somewhere? Consider changing crew or target system level to get more efficient with resources gathering.

You are running low on Voyager tokens? Search for Silver Blood Voyager using scanning ability in voy token systems - one time only!

There are many websites meant to help players or give them more intel - check them out!

Always do your Away Teams Assaignments - it gives you plenty resources while offline

Gather power with building upgrades and research - it makes you tougher against hostiles and players.

Join or create alliance to unlock more resources and ways to develop.

[tropic crown]

No code for all ops or most this time?

[viral briar]

could we get like a checkbox in settings to turn auto conversion of excess artifact shards on/off?

[opal crane]

I wholeheartedly agree... I've never even maxed a Dvor and I'm ops 60 🤣 just saying your statement was not accurate, and would cause people to not take your comment seriously because of that.

[stray smelt]

Unable to enter Game fails and says INGAME and nothing after that

[elder plover]

@viral briar Hold up. When I was 35, by accident I bought plenty artifact shards from tournament store, while artifact was meant to be unlocked at ops 40. Does it mean I lost those shards?

[ebon jackal]

It's still in your inventory, it just isn't used for the new store.

[molten jungle]

I can already smell the ship next month will have a loot boost research or inherent boost and shred/damage to these hostiles. Right now, horrible grind.

Wait…did they auto convert Amelia’s plane? I was gallery locked on that but been buying them in anticipation (can’t get in to check)

[fallow lake]

That's all it seems to be. The extra loot from them is just about double, so it's not about risk reward. Just an obstacle to make the grind more exciting.

[tropic crown]

<@&509690795536941056> how is it even possible that every arc launch is a dumpster fire? The only question is how bad.

[elder fossil]

And now this

[frigid geode]

Regarding this #⭐-official-announcements message
Are we getting an extended gold bubble?

[tepid sinew]

Scopes: 0 days since our last outrageous own goal

[odd prawn]

Game is in tatters and as usual scopely are no where to be seen

[sand bear]

Revert the changes to chat. Landscape on Android actually shrunk the area of readable messages

[gilded dock]

cant pick up ship parts from refinery

[deep anchor]

Bugs… bugs everywhere…

[junior plover]

really scopely? i read that chest claim issues were fixed. but... in true fashion, it's worse... no one can claim ANYTHING!!!

[errant brook]

When there ist something u can rely on then its the issues after patching....

[warped willow]

#⭐-official-announcements message

I think the cause was the DTI changes, have them roll it back and let's see how it goes. 😛

#FreeDTI

[rough tendon]

1.5 hour shield is applied in game already

[faint summit]

hell.... some times i can..... most times i can't.... and some times it takes my mats and gives me nothing..... damn it scopely

[pseudo wadi]

Game is unplayable.

[carmine marten]

Existing shards you should still have. But new ones you acquire is what folks are saying auto convert

[proven hound]

<@&509690795536941056> are those Login issues considered as balancing?

#freeDTI

[quiet portal]

As event launches go, this one has to be the single most spectacular disaster yet! 🤣

[mental minnow]

Proof positive that the tolerance of incompetence simply breeds more incompetence. I joined the game in January 2020.
Number of arcs that were screwed up? ALL OF THEM.

[tidal notch]

[crystal jungle]

<@&509690795536941056> US 700 None the Faction Stores will allow you to claim anything. Why Why

[naive oak]

you known scopley if you treated the players like people not dollar signes we would be patent with things like this

[elfin swan]

At this point every new arc launch should come with free compensation chests as standard.

[tiny talon]

Did everyone purchase an offer? I was logged in and playing just fine then I purchased 2 offers from the online store. I try to go back to game and getting these same error messages and now I can't even log into my scopely account for the online store.

[civic haven]

Well on our way to an F for stability this month on Rev’s survey

[olive shore]

<@&509690795536941056> 167 failed to login tried for over 10 mins,

[solid schooner]

U mean another prime ? Prime free compensation? 😜

[tidal notch]

Yup. We're looking into it

[graceful zodiac]

This is not shocking at all.
As evidence of their previous releases, their testing is always subpar.

[delicate ore]

wtf taking our diodes and saying interference and giving you no missions cant claim any chests in gifts section just taking and not giving anything back why after maintenance do we get more probs and nothing seems to get fioxed

[raw bough]

Can’t logon, when I can get on the server is a complete lag fest, my ships that I can’t recall are being attacked by the few who have been able to get on

[tiny bear]

Massive Glitches, cannot collect rewards of refinery items..

[stiff latch]

@tidal notch Are we going to get credited for all the Augment XP we've been collecting since maxing out that faction?

[tidal notch]

Yup! We're investigating!

[idle portal]

Will you extend the ceasefire ?

[woeful nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/lag-999ms-ping-lagging-delay-gif-25051830

[quartz narwhal]

talk about failing every time

[half roost]

Reverting DTI would be an awesome correction

[mental minnow]

testing? we don’t need no stinking testing.!!!

[unique current]

Any chance Scopely has tests servers? If so do they ever use them? Track record says no

[tidal notch]

I will ask about this!

[fallow lake]

That would defeat the purpose of new content. Can I have everything for free day 1 please? 😔

[warped willow]

Oh yeah, I forgot I had this saved. 😂

[rare quiver]

Will the ceasefire be extended? Unable to login I don't know how much longer it has.

[rotund yew]

The new priority 1 away missions. Is it meant to have a higher chance to crit than to actually succeed with the mission?

[green shuttle]

do they actually fix anything they find during testing? Testing is only half of it

[delicate ore]

bug reporting the entire maintenance is 1 big bug prob we need to be able to play game that you charge us a fortune to play disgusting has usual eco nothing does work except the excuses

[stiff latch]

If you're going to introduce new content, make sure it's new content and not recycled or rehashed garbage from 2 years ago.

[hollow blaze]

Currently nothing works, so things weren't tested?

[stuck jay]

Did they try trying?

[mighty rose]

1hr 16min left on gold shield

Scopely: We have restored balance, F2P to Whale cannot log in, but the fools are still spending money 😈🤣😈

[muted shuttle]

"Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." -Winston Churchill……….Scopes must have this quote as their office mantra.

[woeful nymph]

This is seriously messing with my chest cooldowns and timers...not even trying to be funny about DTI......

[novel forum]

I got back in the game but the webstore is still down

[hot solstice]

For those that are complaining about the issues and how they 'weren't tested'... I've played World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV for years now and they have issues like this even with months of beta testing. Things happen. We are talking about thousands of lines of code and like as not some player(s) did something that no one ever thought would be done and thats what caused it.

[nova sierra]

I'm going to Candy Crush....lol

[molten iris]

right, just before lat rush ends and i can’t log in grrr

[naive oak]

if the issues wernt constant like the DTI contraversy the player base would be more forgiving

[iron thorn]

crash right before several events are about to end

[sharp cypress]

Refinery is completely unuseable - no "purchases" go through, officer recruit has the same issue

[silver bramble]

Next Christmas - the away event will run properly. We will trust Scopely one more time. 🎅🎄

[green shuttle]

i was on Eve Online for years and they had issues but never as often at STFC does. This is not the norm

[flint river]

Man you are being hypocrites, load tooltips say I should expand warehouses, so I can collect more resources from generators.. this feature maybe existed in the begining, but now you made it 100% obsolete. Also you say I can get Parsteel by mining ❓ 😄

[nova sierra]

In my general opinion, you are not:
• Grand Theft Auto VI
• Assassin's Creed Shadows
• Final Fantasy XVII
• Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War
• The Elder Scrolls VI

So slow down with prices, fix common bugs, listen the community.

[hoary lynx]

lol it's back down again

[delicate kite]

nice store

[quiet portal]

NOTHING WORKS!!!!

[muted shuttle]

We shoot triangles and collect 💩, them other games seem a bit more interactive.

[mystic tree]

Scopley y’all need to leave the game alone …

[elder plover]

<@&509690795536941056> this malfunction made me unable to reset miners on nodes, which probably make me lose place in Latinum Rush SLB - as I know not all players are affected. We are strongly hoping on compensation chest that would include prizes of 1st place in SLB for all players that scored any points at all.

[kind star]

Scopely shows once again what is possible. They are good at failure and lousy content.

[winter laurel]

Ok seriously - useless tips???? i would rather have a fast loading screen thanks!

[silver bramble]

Your ship can't be destroyed while warping is my favourite. Maybe I never realised this feature since 5 years. 🤣

[delicate ore]

samps say the can fix the bugs and pros for a 1 off fee of 99.90 then 49.90 to upgrade tht prob

[junior plover]

whatever you do, DO NOT LEAVE THE GAME. you won't be able to get back in!

[naive oak]

we just need to stop all spending from every server until they start having a quality product

[hoary sierra]

Are they investigating the missing items, a LOT of reports of it taking currency and giving nothing

[cedar kiln]

Looks like Khan used the Genesis Device on your update.

[jaunty fog]

That uninstall button is starting to look better and better.

[tropic crown]

not even close to the only problem. Hope no one is getting drained over this.

[mild steppe]

Cannot log in on Mac

[feral jewel]

Lol i get most of the complaints. but the guys that are having in game issues, and still want to go to the web store to buy something, then complain that they cant. Lmfao.... "I know the game is broken, but i wanna spend money".

[maiden grove]

Hope they extend the gold shield while they fix the login

[novel forum]

I just wanted my daily mission key from the web store..

[hoary saffron]

Think this might be the proverbial last straw for me. Cannot go on like this. Too frustrating of late

[winter laurel]

How about fixing the web store login - that has been broken for months

[wintry cave]

Great job as always on arc launch day! And you guys wonder why players stopped spending money on the game…. 🤦‍♂️

[runic patrol]

Now just imagine if all of us decided not to buy anything until they fixed everything how panicked they would be

[kind star]

Manifesting so much incompetence in a single game is almost an art.

[restive geyser]

1.5 hours of picking up the daily stuff and still not finished. It's just torture.

[wooden spire]

Their stupidity, like scopely’s ineptitude, can’t be fixed.

[manic python]

@raw fiber
how about a longer peace shield. some people are at war 🤣

[pastel herald]

this game is nothing but a forever alpha tester

[bleak quarry]

Too many whales for that to happen 😕

[odd prawn]

We maybe @raw fiber but Scopely also Kahn't release a stable arc

[floral mica]

Scopely is by far the worst games developer on the planet.......

[flint river]

FIX ops 28 Priority Assignment research cost !!! IMPOSSIBLE ! I want to try this feature 😭

[green ferry]

it's not just a claim problem, the resources are being taken but then there's no reward

[warped willow]

I feel like this flop of a release is a bit of karma for scopely after the DTI nonsense.

#FreeDTI

[fallen iron]

i was in my game got kicked and get back in and now back out and now got log into the game or the store

[feral jewel]

Not karma, just standard operating procedure

[cedar kiln]

I want to go to the mirror universe where mirror-scopely updates always work.

[wintry cave]

You’ll need to search the entire multiverse…

[final matrix]

This update is one Scopely blunder after another… they better give out a really good comp gift and not some stupid thing like a couple officer shards. I’m talking resources, credits, lat and building specific materials for the artifact gallery, Court of Q and such. It’s time Scopely shows their players so actual respect. After all it’s us that keep them in business

[uneven cargo]

👍

[raw plinth]

You guys rely on scopleys maintenance shields? Never trust a scopely arc release maintenance shield

[opal crane]

Scabs. A whole lot of Scabs.

[delicate ore]

make the arc worthwhile having give something at the end that makes you want to play the arc

[devout lintel]

Thank you for revitalizing Augment faction and away teams.

[leaden junco]

At least the arc this month is appropriate. Khan is getting his wrath out on these TEMU devs

[fluid mist]

I feel bad for you guys every arc getting so much grief and it isn't even your fault. Don't you guys wish you could just take a vacation around arcfall day and have someone higher up deal with all the negative feedback. I know I sure would

[chrome vortex]

Do we have to buy a prime to get the arc to start?

[whole timber]

Temu is always up ... don't compare 🤣

[tough cypress]

I know what the logon issue is. Scopely is rolling back the DTI locks, and it's taking extra time....🤣🤣🤣

[steep solar]

Quantity over Quality strikes again... Battlepass event was there.. then it wasn't.

[deep anchor]

Heh… mission: exchange pioneer crests for an away team store bundle… but Pioneer crests are for team away research tree… wtf…

[blazing kayak]

did the missing exchange but the quest didn't complete... grrrr
@tidal notch @raw fiber how can we get this resolved

[proven hound]

May I suggest to role back to the state of 4/30/2025 12 am?
Would solve a lot of issues and would start to earn some trust.
Then start a proper testing before you release new content.
Well new is too high, because Away Teams has been there for ages. So it’s always a highlight to see how semi working things are broken….
#freeDTI

[ancient stratus]

Comp will probably be a couple shards that they would have given you anyway in event so now that will be reduced from that

[warped willow]

Comp will be more of those severely outdated emergency rations. Yay.

[spark acorn]

@rigid vaporTeam
Worst arc launch in a long list of failed launches. Login failures, error codes on collecting anything, War room bug interrupts gameplay, no Arc events open on launch, no battle pass or FC in scopely store. Man y'all been drinking more than usual or what? How about all players get the Battle pass for free as compensation to show them you all actually care? Not some dumb comp chest gives 800 lat and g2 rss that most players are well beyond.

[whole timber]

I hope the CEO or some Execs level is hopping from time to time (like at arc launch) to see how is money making business customers are feeling about is product. 💰

[trail zenith]

More 💩

[tribal nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/clap-slowclap-notimpressed-gif-8195521

[stiff latch]

If no one can log in, how would someone be getting drained?

[spare pike]

lol

[tidal notch]

How about now? I'm hearing reports that players are able to log in

[sacred crane]

I can log in, many in my alliance can't.

[delicate ore]

nope cant log in

[outer vapor]

no point logging in nothing else works

[odd prawn]

People can log in...we are just scared to touch anything as the game keeps stealing all our currency!

[rare vale]

Even if you log in, there's no events to do...

[surreal condor]

It's usually better not to do them when the game is misbehaving...

[proven hound]

That’s not stealing. It’s called balancing

[tough cypress]

Well....nothing works.

[spark acorn]

Ages like the finest of wines.

[jaunty fog]

Congrats Scopley on the well laid out rollout of the newest update! Closed the game, and may stay that way for a bit. Recommend others do the same and not give these guys another dime until they #freedti and fixt their broken stuff in the game.

[quaint nimbus]

Not mine, but i like it 😉

[spare pike]

stealing that

[harsh thunder]

That's coming.

[warped willow]

I want a full DTI Rollback as compensation 😎

#FreeDTI

[sacred crane]

Conspiracy theory: Scopely arc drop is this messy to make us forget about the DTI steal.

And the Terran forbidden tech steal (which is also forgotten apparently).

[lone swift]

Still waiting for the Pokemon arc

[ebon pewter]

Seems like a balancing issue to have a battle pass but no events. Maybe get the dti store cooldown people on it. Seems easier to roll events out than mess with a whole faction store.

[muted shuttle]

It’s just Scopes being Scopes, they ain’t launched a good one yet.

[torpid cargo]

<@&509690795536941056> - I can log on, there are just no events to do.

[fossil siren]

You must admit it, Scopely exceeded themselves....we never thought it could get worse, ever. But they did it: This is really the biggest.........

They should change the name in:

Star Trek Bug Command...

These are the voyages of the starship Everbug, the five year mission : seek out new problems and errors, and boldy go, where no bug has gone before.

[elder hornet]

Nice Arc day!! Any plans to have events?

[frank beacon]

I personally find it better to have alliance chat when opening the game. I barely read public chat due to toxicity. Please change it back or give people a option in options menu

[sonic valve]

Cant sometimes log in, no events. Turn ins not giving payout. Any communication from <@&509690795536941056>... nope.

[steep solar]

I dunno.. we haven't hit Emergency Maintenance threshold yet... but lets give it 5 minuntes.

[delicate skiff]

Sell the game to competent people

[opal crane]

The entire company is owned by an evil, greedy entity. lol

[jaunty prism]

I think ya'll might be missing a zero on the loot surveys in exile space. A rare hostile with a 30% chance to instakill you, and it drops 1/40th of an Epic chest and 1/50th of a Rare? That's so pointless.

[subtle oriole]

This may be the end for me. What other games out there are good?

[white plinth]

.

[jolly osprey]

A new arc, new bugs.

[soft sundial]

Scopley, burn your servers down

[winter laurel]

free the hamsters first

[small lichen]

Bugs? Bugs? This went from Star Trek to Starship Troopers?

[tropic crown]

Oh no they would charge more.

[lost slate]

So it looks like they just extended the Peace Shield for at least 4 hours

[steep solar]

mine sits at 16 mins

[proven hound]

Bot fully correct, must be an exo with 2hr runtime and 3 day cool down

[sick egret]

I have no G dock token in my augment store.

[jaunty prism]

Anything that isn't available on mobile. There are no good mobile games, they're all like this.

[devout lintel]

They'll release a ship to fix this next month

[lapis ingot]

So, a level 26 ship insta-kills my 2.2B power ship with no battle report. Since you said it to me first Scopely, allow me to say it to you in return. Go $^#& yourself.

[tropic crown]

If that means I lose all the loot I raided heck no.

[lost slate]

If you reconnect you will see the 4 hours. But regardless I wish @tidal notch or either the <@&509690795536941056> / <@&509691205798592532> to have shared this so we did not waste a shield to ensure coverage while waiting on some level of communication.

[pale garnet]

tips, you need to have a photgraphic memory to catch what they say in lass than 1 second, farce

[thin yacht]

@tidal notch Add more syndicate levels please.

[proven hound]

Just the game settings. Don’t even think they got a full backup for more than a day back

[spark acorn]

SS everything it's not just the hostile loot currency that is disappearing
