it gets rolled into the feesha mastery

[vivid terrace]

<@&509690795536941056> what on earth is happening with away teams? Speed ups for the new Priority 1 assignments are virtually non existent. Many of the traits required to achieve critical success do not exist on any officer currently in the game and today you have removed sourcing for standard ATAs without any warning. While you run 24hr ATA events which require you to do 3 or 5 day assignments and at same time have completely cut off sourcing for speed ups don’t be surprised if the completion these events is very low . Your arc runners are so out of touch it beggars belief

I know ppl moan about the arcs all the time but this really is the worst arc ever. The sad thing is that they have doubled down on everything Mr Tiger has been told before are issues in the vain hope we will buy yet more packs. No way is anyone sane going to buy packs just to complete an away team assignment event

[nova sierra]

Wait until you get the bill for trying to get her to T3... it was even worse. The wok officer rank up currency requirements are absolutely ridiculous, and you have to share that currency with your research which makes it even more ridiculous.

[clever whale]

With how nearly impossible the currency is to get in early G4 (not sure what your experience is at ops 60), I'm just not even going to worry about tiering them up as it is lol. I guess in the future I will get to the point I have the medals to spend... but in G4? Ri-bleeping-diculous.

[olive mulch]

Time is relative. Areas around planets experience frame dragging, where the rate time passes is changed, and a resulting curvature of space time that results in what we call gravity.

[nova sierra]

It's even super slow getting it at my level. This is because the refinery to get the currency to start the away missions is ridiculously slow, and then you don't get enough speed ups to complete the assignments fast (unless you pay $100 to get the prime that causes some of them to finish in an hour) to get the currency to rank up the officers unless you buy the packs.

While all arcs encourage people to spend, this one is basically trying to twist your arm behind your back.

[hollow plover]

the ATA-stuff itself is ok - the research, augment faction, the QoL-stuff but this arc's events... holy final excretion

[clever whale]

I don't mind slow drips. Thats fine. Its the nature of a lot of these kinds of games. But - a slow drip has a beter chance than a casino game to actually get you what you want from it. Between the casino like element and the fact that some of these missions ask me for officers that I use BD every day... most frustrating part of the update.

Besides, more than a 50% boost to loot from upgrading Markus, the research in the tree is way more valuable to me, so I'm going be skipping these officers for a while. Tom Paris is far easier to upgrade so will stay better than McCoy for a while. I MIGHT make an exception for Joachim though.

[vivid terrace]

the ATA stuff really isn’t ok 🤣The events are impossible. No sourcing fir speed ups and require traits that no officer in game currently has. its a total shambles

[hollow plover]

ok is not great, but i think will improve...somehow...in a year or two...when you are half done with new AT-researchs 🫣

[vivid terrace]

<@&509690795536941056> bump!

[sour mauve]

I've been dealing with getting stuck in my event store for almost a week having to reset every time I go into it and been trying to get it fixed i was ignored for days now and finally said something on discord and got band for an hour so now after spending tens of thousands I've realized they don't care about fixing my issues just me spending money so i am now leaving game for good hope no one else goes through what I have good luck to all have a good day

[olive mulch]

<@&509690795536941056> The TLDR version is: Scopely needs to get back on track with the basics, making a game that is fun to play, and profitable for the company. Let's take a look at what Mike Ditka did following his team winning the Superbowl: He brought the winning team out onto the football field, held up a football, and said "Gentlemen, this is a football. The point of the game is to move this down the field, into the end zone, to score points." So let's take a look at Star Trek Flee Command in that context. The point of the game is for players to explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate. I would say that the missions are the explore part of the game, and the goals are primarily the exploit and exterminate part of the game. Expand is done in 3 ways: research, building the base, and acquiring and upgrading ships is the 3rd way. Key here is that exterminate is a means to an end, not the end goal. PvE should be a way to gain resources, including experience, and not the objective of the game. Events should be rewarding, and take a reasonable effort to complete. Having an event that counts how many events you've completed in the month adds significant pressure to do every event, and that directly takes away choice from the player base. You're no longer giving them options, you're giving them work assignments.

[flint river]

Change WOK Carol upgrade cost to xp, why you asking crests in ridiculous amounts ? You are crazy

[dusky zealot]

Tomorrow`s maintenance is your chance to bring us back to server 163
It's bin far too long you try to ruin our game

[humble lotus]

They don’t give a 💩

[torn garden]

So yet again we are expected to grind away for literally hours with a "hand picked" sub-optimal crew of officers that realisticly no one under ops 60 has at t5?

Nope. Not doing it. This event and this arc bites.

[sharp salmon]

Bugs , omg can’t even get back into EE Area , this Arc is buggered

[limber oriole]

You've been merged, they are not going to undo it. Just like with the slow or even non responses to tickets to keep us distracted so they can give out as little as possible from people quitting.
The grind is ridiculous, even after lowering the scores needed. Arenas are STILL a flop. Every special event they run, such as arenas, slog the game down to where I've had ships getting stuck in battle as long as 30 seconds.

I only stay in the game for those I play with, otherwise, I'd have been gone long ago.

[humble lotus]

$copely can kiss my Asss with this arc. It didn’t work from day one. The events are a joke ohh and I am not wiping 😡

[dusky zealot]

Alliance Tournament is back soon, with more bugs than last time, be happy 😁
But the server merge is a complete joke, we have a level 70 shooting every ship around,
does @rigid vapor really think we pay more now to compete him?

[olive mulch]

That's the 4th X in a 4X game.

[frank yarrow]

Please have at minimum 25 hostiles per system. You've sold a product, Kir'shara, that is intended to allow people to string together up to that many attacks. But when every new system has 14 or less hostiles, you've sold a product that can't be used.

[ancient heron]

Please give us 3-5 days notice before announcing events like AT so that we can hold off on pulling things like our borg refineries and messing up our scoring schedule.

[frank yarrow]

Just noticed this, but thank you for making the thresholds for augment faction splicer trade in always 1 higher than the ops we can get the next ship at. Letting us hit an ops and grow a bit before choosing to take on the bigger challenge is a great design choice. It eliminates some of the fear of moving up.

[tribal nest]

for the love of god scopley read your complaint tickets and reply and at least let players start new tickets for complaints and not just freeze it😡

[final plinth]

the 40 augment zone is way too crowded.

[opal crane]

Force people to all camp in a single place. Create an environment that fosters hostility. Players get aggressive. Players fight. Players spend money.

[rare vale]

Or quit because they're sick of being milked instead of being put in a fun game environment which makes them WANT to spend rather than NEED to spend.

[opal crane]

Tomato Tomato.

[outer sage]

Muffinz 😍

[neat pecan]

Great, i can't collect the mission so i can't go on in the game. I've repaired the game, still like this. Anyone can help ?

[vale wasp]

It's bugged right now and on the list of #🛠-known-issues

[wild fossil]

The 00:00, 00's bug should be on that list. Since they fixed it during this arcs maintenance it has happened 1000% times more. Before arc it happened almost 0.1% of the time the pink squares happened more 😔 (if it helps majority of the time its only happened going to new Augment space

[sour dew]

A Bit early and unscheduled for Game Maintenance on Scopley Store, isn't it?

[topaz ruin]

I would like to ask again that the d'vor independant archive requirements to max it out be a t9 d'vor OR a feesha built. I recycled 2 d'vors at t8 instead of one at t9 to get my feesha bps. I'm not going to grind out the 500k d'vor parts needed to max another out. So please just do us a solid on this one.

[tough cypress]

Agree completely. And i've stopped bothering. I refuse to continue to be a hamster on scopely's wheel.

[hollow shell]

Anyone else having an issue with webstore not loading ( i only want my mission key) but would have thought theyd focus on that working for their greedy pockets

Will say this though. With the shop down the game runs smoother than a naked mole rat.. the irony their greed also lags out their game

[olive mulch]

I don't have my Feesha yet, but I was on the 2x8 path also, so I completely understand your perspective on this one. I think this is one of those things where 2x8 isn't a T9, so you "didn't earn it", and yet it feels like they have moved the goal posts by adding the archives after you've set your strategy up to solve the Feesha problem efficiently.

[warm hawk]

hi is anybody else unable to load the store page for the star trek web page all others pages load apart from the store so can not claim the free daily

[topaz ruin]

Before the archives there was no point in a T9. The point in getting a t9 dvor was to unlock the feesha, which I did. So I feel like I did earn it.

[hollow shell]

Its down in game and web - the game runs actually better without it- genuinely hope they've been hacked

[olive mulch]

Apparently they took the store offline because it was the main source of lag. They have neither confirmed, nor denied, this rumor.

[warm hawk]

well i got an internet connection error but i been getting that every night at least once for last few nights but my internet is working so must be something with there server, yeah i posted the n saw your post so was like oh it must be down then

[tired dawn]

Anyone want to play a game together?

[vital pawn]

Dear god, can you fix the chat bug, stop making me click on alliance chat every time I get in and out of game/arenas

[uncut scaffold]

Are you sure there is a different outcome than this? Let me tell you why, because the last couple of times you have run these free give aways that are similar to this, this is all i got every day. So my feedback is, put better odds on these. They are giveaways, why be stingy.

[vital pawn]

For tax purposes they assign costs to free give aways so it 'cost money' to do that, lolol

[uncut scaffold]

lol you would think that would be the issue, right?

[olive mulch]

Usually, when the server decides it has trouble connecting with players, it drops a bunch of them to lighten the load. Gets rid of idle players, and more importantly: bots.

[warped vault]

I have all Three Officers at T5 and yet, 91% chance??? 😠

[spark acorn]

Why that's as crazy as Scopley requiring 10k of the credits we also need for the research to tier up Carol. Not only that they got extra greedy and also require Fed credits. 🤦‍♂️

[tawdry moat]

This arc stinks, the difficulty of the events milestones is too high. Forced crew are useless, do y’all test them or not?

I have one to recommend, annorax suder georgiou/lorca/kirk. below deck neelix/torres/kim, borg hugh, paris, quasi. 1000x better than the forced crew

And the rewards aren’t worth the effort

Going to ignore this arc

(I’m lvl 60 with 700m+ ships) with the crew i presented above i can kill a bunch lvl 54 new augmented hostiles but with scopley crew only lvl 50 and i get damaged. Lvl 50 hostiles shouldn’t damage my 700m+ crozier sompek and sanctus

[half wadi]

They want everyone to ops up into the 60s and 70s plus drop lots of money. Dolphins and light spenders are being shown the door or relegated to very little rewards. They making the event hard so that Grinder's and hustle's don't have enough time to catch up. Now it's PAY for fun. PAY for your goals. Not just PAY to win Pvp

[carmine yew]

30% Chance 🙄

[fast anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/dude-no-way-stan-marsh-south-park-s6e11-child-abduction-is-not-funny-gif-22002733

[olive mulch]

Of course they test them, or nothing would work.

[tawdry moat]

It’s not that bad, 5 in a row. One day i had 20 death gun in a row, was bad. Since then whenever i get 3 in a row i stop to try again another time

[tawdry moat]

Well we have some recent examples of things rolled out without testing :x remember the ark beginning, nothing was registering

[olive mulch]

I guess you missed the announcement I'm referencing. Edit: Actually, my comment was more like a direct quote.

[vocal reef]

Does anyone know what this is and where did it come from and when?

[vast nest]

I don't have the other Eco quote handy so enjoy this one

[acoustic geyser]

This were definitely tested, Eco said

[vale wasp]

That key isn't in the game yet.

[fast anvil]

let us see how much sigma we have no matter what level

[vocal reef]

Thank you for the info. I guess I am happy that I am not looking to upgrade that bldg just yet ... 🙄

[dense prawn]

700m ships at l60 is pretty low, maybe thats why you are struggling? I've got a 1bn power crozier at l57 and working on getting my 2nd ship that high also so theyre level appropriate. Maybe 1.1bn before leveling any more.

[tawdry moat]

I planned go stay 60 for a long time, I’m working on getting the g5 epics but only 75% done. Also i got to 60 a few days ago 😉 the g5 rares are t7, all three

I stopped on purpose at t7 for the g5 epics, cost will be crazy i expect

[eager tundra]

seriously not being able to speed up formation armadas is a real hassle

[warm gulch]

that is the badest joke in that arc... scoplay you do a lot that i check my attitude towards the game... 25k of that 💩?! i see only the greed for players money in that whole arc... 25 days for updating that?! how much contempt must one have against f2p player? thats rediculess...

[limpid dragon]

<@&509690795536941056> QTrials hostiles are changed again, PMC on Newton would kill them easy now it dies alway

[robust tartan]

I'm so tired of being stuck on that horrid black preparing screen just trying to get into the game. It takes 4-5 tries to get in! 25 minutes several times a day!

[nova sierra]

I highly highly doubt that. I've said idle for hours or days and not been booted. It doesn't seem to have any sort of idle time out.

[latent timber]

Sourcing for ATA speedups and planetary charts for P1 assignments suck. You give us new attractive assignments and hardly a way to start the nice ones that pop up.

[tired plaza]

Use vemet as captain.. it nullifies the instant death damage

[latent timber]

Which is a lie because you can get sigma mats before g6. Revenant mk 3 gift, loyalty chests etc

[humble furnace]

Xindi Aquatic flash backs at the start of the loop 🤣

[latent timber]

At least with xindis/aquatics you can abuse them in case that apex barrier event comes back lol🤣

No you get the gifts without being 61. You do not even have to unlock the refit. I can tell you because i did it last week and i am ops 60 on a g5 locked server. Also nsea sux for farming mirror (non omega that is) i use entyD on lv 68 traders.

You do not get the sigma in the refinery till 61+ though (only the one time gift + 10 token gifts)

[wild fossil]

If you check the skin it says you get the MK3 gifts only at ops 61. You can only get sigma speed ups before ops 60+ by hitting 61+ hostiles. These mostly can be done in Xindi space with NX. Possible MU but I don't think NSEA can reach before ops 60+

[olive mulch]

I have a brilliant idea: Fix the chat so that it defaults to alliance instead of general chat. You know, the way it was before the wrath of Khan changed it. While you're at it: don't take the name "Year of Hell" so literally if you want to retain a player base.

[humble furnace]

Out of all 3 of those officers only Torres is required the other 2 have no traits for this. This is also a rare one of the new ones.

[humble furnace]

😱 that’s interesting! Guess i will find out soon, I’m ops 59 and half way to T10 for MK3 scrap. Not like I can use g6 mats 😅, although I have done one or two of the primes that require g6 uc with the faction rewards for FKR ranks

[latent timber]

Depending on your plans/ability to go into g6 it might be even worth it to not unlock the refit. Because once you unlock it the refinery costs skyrocket and you wont be able to sufficiently pull double chest/triple chest. Considering the amounts increase only slightly and no sigma/epic revenant stuff till 61+ anyway it might be worth it to stay at mk II and slowly grind it back up.

[coral snow]

<@&509690795536941056> please send Scopely my deepest thanks for closing my ticket without doing anything to fix the problem

[vale wasp]

Since your issue is still affecting you, I'd open another ticket. With a clean queue, resolution should be much quicker if you act fast.

[fluid mist]

so ummm what did you guys try to fix during the maintenance only asking so I know what not to be upset that it's broken when I try to load/do it in game shortly.

[haughty sail]

still having an almost permanent yellow connection flashing in my face, warp path invalid errors and just general lag so who knows what they did, clearly not improve the game stability

[fluid mist]

thats why I figured I'd ask what they tried to fix since they seem to on average almost always break something or create lag. Lag i can deal with i just go on and make sure bubble is up and log off until it settles but other game mechanics like claiming dialy stuff i really hate leaving off until later in the day rofl

[limpid dragon]

@raw fiber tomorrow Tournment starts, where is the comp chest with the missing Temporal Artifacts shards you guys converted?

[nova sierra]

Another maintenance that has added issues and fixed nothing

[acoustic geyser]

They fix the less lag problem by adding more lag

[naive saddle]

Is there a way to talk to one of support?

11 days i am waiting for a 99 Euro package, and support is not able to solve this problem

[fast anvil]

why. let me refine pleaseeeee

[olive mulch]

Dear Scopely: Your "Year of Hell" has already exceeded all my expectations, but not in a positive way.

[vale wasp]

I'd file a new ticket, then DM me the ticket number.

[unborn quiver]

Please tell me how this is "30% chance"? I am definitely not the only one, and this is really frustrating because it is really just silly. The grind is already challenging enough, and then we get such surprises...

[wary fjord]

because somebody somewhere will have killed 30 of them without dying once. It's a terrible mechanic, just another terrible aspect to this particular arc.

[keen loom]

It won’t come until after this AT, you know to not skew results - in the name of balance and fair play!

[neat pecan]

ok so nothing has been done for these issues. Sadly

[vale wasp]

Today was supposed to be a backend maintenance, nothing player-facing.

[willow panther]

There was maintenance, and the serious bugs persist?! The main mission still can't be submitted! As always, buy this for €99 and buy that for €99. How about a game that works properly?! You should uninstall the game; it would save you a lot of money and even more hassle!

[mild zinc]

<@&509690795536941056> is it normal for support to not respond to a ticket? It has been a week and nothing is resolved… no response. Is it because I do not spend enough money on the game? Is there a bundle I can purchase to get service?

[granite field]

Having same or @mild zinc, two issues and no response from support.

[uncut scaffold]

T5, but not maxxed. Also, you have invested enough in the Priority 1 research. In addition, you have not bought, with real-world money, enough stuff for the odds to be ever in your favor. lolol

[uncut scaffold]

hit them 100 times, then check the odds. that will be closer to accurate. why? because I have killed one 5 out of 7 times. they have better odds than your unfortunate logs show. sorry you are having bad luck though. if you want to complain about odds, there are a ton of things that don't list the odds to complain about though.

[hard aurora]

After playing this game for five years, I have to admit this arc has really beaten the will to play out of me. Congrats, Scopely. A couple years after promising to reduce the grind, you've made it so severe that veteran players like me and others in my alliance who have basically given up, don't even care anymore about finishing basic SMS events. Well done.

[willow panther]

Is it possible that the main mission "Something Stares Back" can only be completed at level 59? I'm only level 57, could that be the reason? Does anyone have any ideas?

[vale wasp]

Many missions are bugged and claiming the reward isn't possible. It's a #🛠-known-issues that they're working on.

[willow panther]

@vale wasp Yes, I know that, but it's not being fixed! The question was actually whether you can complete a higher main mission at a lower level.

[vale wasp]

Players have been completing higher level combat trainings since the game started. I don't believe that would be an issue.

[gusty fractal]

This is just Wrath of Khan part 1. According to the past, part 2 and/or part 3 will add ship, event store and new bonus so you and we must wait...and then, 25 days for to unlock one component are a good news for a F2Player...I am waiting since September 2024 to unlock one component and this is a bad news.

P.S.
It's Scopely, not scoplay.

[indigo hazel]

Is Claims All broken, or is it a graphical glitch that it flashes 3 times and then shows 1/5 of the expected rewards?

[vale wasp]

It has been tested several times since it was released, and the "shortage" has always been a visual bug.

[woeful nymph]

I submitted a ticket regarding the mislabeled P1 Away team research (literally the same day @tidal notch posted to submit one), and because it took support so long to get to my ticket, they closed it without even reading it because it was “old” My ticket had nothing to do with the in game performance issues. So now I have to resubmit a ticket I’ve been waiting for days to be resolved….this is garbage.

I even included pictures of the research and Hammy’s post about submitting a ticket. How many hoops do I have to jump through to get through the layers of complete incompetence?

[pale garnet]

wave arc long gone, many complaints about ops being forced to do solo wave out of their league, even though ops up there, and still scopely come back with more wave events demanding pilots do wave out of their league still, how corrupt and deaf can scopely get, lower the wave requirements for pilots, for every pilot, they are not a challenge , they are impossible and cannot be done, stop cheating us with your so called testers with max'd out ships best buffs and best pilots that are impossoble to get without paying out thousand of cash

[elder pollen]

Lag! 10–60 seconds for each chest collection

[spark flume]

I was told to submit a ticket about my missing purchase items and the ticket was erroneously closed as well with the same message, so not only do I have to completely submit an entirely new ticket I'm still not sure if I'll ever get my items <@&509690795536941056>
Why ask me to do it if it gets ignored

[ember lagoon]

Orion, Than you for getting me up and running

[woeful nymph]

Exactly the same thing happened to me. "close all the tickets to improve our closure rate in hopes that players will get too frustrated to resubmit them"

You don't manage a ticket queue backlog by closing all the tickets you arbitrarily deem as "old" then force people who are 'serious' to resubmit them. Whoever made that decision in Customer Support needs a serious write up and reprimand. my ticket was 5 days old and their 1 and only response was to close it and tell me to resubmit it.

[finite mural]

I know it's not ideal, but it wasn't a decision they made lightly. If you resubmit a new ticket, dm me your ticket number.

[tiny axle]

Memorial Day Bonus Battle Pass? Seriously Scopely - you've plummeted to new depths monetising on those who lost their lives during combat - disgusting on every level.

[nimble sentinel]

Another battle pass to buy and Today's points don't give the rewards what a joke 😂😂

[fierce flicker]

Next Q&A we need to submit "define Quality" for the one question. just to see how they see it? maybe we're getting scoply definitions along with scoply math?

[static bone]

Struggling to understand why exactly support is just closing tickets and telling us to submit a new one if we still need help <@&509690795536941056>. I have had three tickets closed now with no action, and being told to submit another one. This is not how to run a business. This is a slap in the face to your entire player base. Again.

[fast anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> I think there's a bug where when U click the event store tab U can't click other event tabs unless you refresh the game. forward to team thx

[kindred sphinx]

Secret to getting tech support... spend money. I used to buy the monthly battle pass and a few other upgrades (been about 18 months on the wagon now). Back then, my tech support requests would get answered in a timely manner. In the last year, I submitted 3 tech support requrests. Every single one closed without ANY resolution. I don't even bother now. Not hard to see the pattern.

[fast anvil]

nah U just need to spam them. I don't even spend and they reply to me fast cause they know I'll bug them till they reply to it. be so annoying that they prioritise you so they can get it over with. that's my strategy

[static bone]

I was a moderate spender. Not after the fiasco of this last launch, the DTI mess, and support just closing things out. F2P, here I come.

[tough cypress]

Why even have this channel if no one is here to answer questions or concerns? I've reviewed posts on here daily for 3 weeks now, and i've seen one "joke" response to a poster that had nothing to do with the game.
I play Golf+, and almost every post with <@&509690795536941056> is responded to with direct help or answers to questions. Here? A black hole of nothing. Do better, or just stop with the dishonesty and shut it all down.

[hollow plover]

Grind is meditation - i hate meditating for hours

[lunar ocean]

Fire this sadistic arc runner.

[ancient sandal]

the advise for prio 1 tasks 🤣 🚽

[nova sierra]

I've never seen an arc so "grindy." It's ridiculous.

[sullen matrix]

#⭐-official-announcements message
Bad content is bad. You can try to put sprinkles on 💩 but it will remain just 💩
Prio1 Tasks are too hard, too long, carry low value, researches bad, store bad

And on top of it they try to take away our strongest below deck officers

[nova sierra]

The below deck trait requirements are my one of biggest issues because a lot of them want the abilities on McCoy and Carol Marcus, and you don't want to have them unavailable for a few days to a week

[scarlet pasture]

jw, what's the avg power levels of the q trials supposed to be near the end of 3* and middle of 4*? right now I'm seeing 3.7bil to 5bil for the 3-trials, (249.52M points on the reward track) and similar on the 4-trials (247.88M reward track). Sent a ticket about them but they just apologized for the wait time, said a comp package was sent and closed it w/o doing anything

[sullen matrix]

I accepted one that wanted Bellana Torres. Went to Augment Space and my lvl 60 kills dropped from 25 to 8. Tried a lot but ultimately had to compensate with Lorca on bridge.
Requiring Voyager Below Decks is the most punishing you can do.
McCoy has below dec alternatives

[finite mural]

that's normal

Inflated 4* were in the trillions

[blissful sky]

You want people to pay to play but yet you have these ridiculous high kill counts so people won't play. Make up your mind Scopely.

[cyan cedar]

i have put in 3 tickets so far about the Q trials, its still not fixed and i never received a comp chest... @tidal notch

[finite mural]

screenshot of your q trial?

[finite mural]

Do you currently have an open ticket?

if so dm, me the number

[kindred sphinx]

It is really the ultimate kick in the nether regions to all US service men and women, not to mention their families, for Scopley to act like offering a bonus battle pass PURCHASE in honor of Memorial Day is appropriate. Really?! It is not THAT kind of holiday. As a person who lost their best friend in service to our country, I am appalled. Scopely should be ashamed.

[cyan cedar]

its open but never given a number

[nova sierra]

Is anyone else missing battle pass points besides me?

[cyan cedar]

i didnt.. but i know a couple in our alliance are like 600 short, told them to put in a ticket

[sullen matrix]

isnt the right one like normal? I have the same in there for a while

[vale wasp]

Max pts to today is 235k.

That's short of reaching a milestone. Happens every month.

[forest zealot]

It feels like the overall game performance got worse in the last few days, it started with some freezes here and there, then every couple minutes the yellow and red connection warning icons, today on phone i had to restart the game every time i went into the redeems menu, on PC it is even better, because it crashed five times and took overall around thirty minutes to even start the game ONCE.
I think as long as this goes on, i'll do my 270 points of daily tasks on phone and skip the rest including AT tasks.

[neat pier]

Why did all the tickets get auto closed?
Being busy due to the problems encountered at the start of the arc is not an excuse to close every ticket so the players have to reopen them. This should also not then be another 3 days to answer a ticket that has been open for 11 days to refund a pack that it has already been accepted that the money has been taken but the contents have not been delivered. This is not customer support it is customer kicking.

[high thicket]

Out of curiosity, why is this? Surely it’s easier to make each day (for example) 15k points and set the milestones at 15k? Easy to see if people miss a milestone too.

[robust tartan]

I'm waiting for a week just for an initial response from them.

[finite mural]

If you still have it available, dm me the ticket number for the pack

[valid totem]

Mainly because the amount of sources for resources to upgrade buildings is a lot bigger than sources of faction credits needed to buy ship parts.

[neat pier]

Thank you. Will do.

[graceful cedar]

It does absolutely zero good complaining about anything, they're not going to fit it ..... all they want is for us to keep spending money. Customer service/support means nothing to them. Who really cares if a bunch of people leave the game, they can then focus on the people with loose purse strings.

[valid totem]

The main reason was boredom, trudging through the 50s I was hoping the 60s may bring something but as usual just disappointment, I now have a 5* Epic Romulan ship which I managed to get straight to T6 with accumulated resources but now no faction credits, but if 6* Uncommon are so bad, I will have a few more years to get some more faction credits.

[sullen matrix]

They have their use, but for the most part it is way worse than your Rotti until tiered up higher and thats expensive.
Dont count with few more years. Literally took me 4 months from 60 to 65 f2p.

E60 is good until 64 though, 65 feels like pushing it.

[dim hemlock]

Can someone please explain this banner? It seems I'm in second place in a solo event? Why is there a banner anyway?

[olive mulch]

It is a Single Milestone event, thus the SMS in the name. You scored 10M points, and that puts you as the 2nd highest scoring within your level bracket on that event.

[dim hemlock]

Thank you. That makes sense👍

[grim obsidian]

Here is some general feedback from a player of 6 years. Do with it as you wish however I do hope this doesn't fall on deaf ears.
With regards to the Arc itself, besides the expansion of the augment faction store and the addition of the Bulk Refine option, I rate this arc to be on the same level of disappointment and suckage as the TOS arc which introduced of the space Worms, wormadas and whatever the garbage arc was that introduced of the flying chicken ship (Sarcophagus). The biggest downside that stands out in this arc, which I feel overshadows any decent addition, is the endless grinding for extremely low rewards, and the loss of.. what was the phrase Scopely uses… ah yes.. “quality of life”. While the bulk refine reduces daily refinery time from 10 minutes down to 6, the amount of grinding now required to do daily events has increased from 1 hr to 3 or 4. All in all, I believe if the grinding continues to increase as it has, this will be the end of many players. #ReduceTheGrind

[dark plover]

@tidal notch Hi, i write you in PM about Server 94

[drifting fulcrum]

I've just given up on the arc, I do the BP event and that's about it. The grind is so boring, hitting hundreds of hostiles over and over. It's more interesting picking fluffy out of my belly button. I refuse to waste my time on it and have it take over real life.

[dusky zealot]

Still no feedback on the failed server merge....

<@&509690795536941056> where is this gift tournaments start tomorow.

Automatic Temporal Artifact Shard conversion
Automatic conversion of Temporal Artifact Shards will be disabled while we review the system to better meet your expectations. This change goes live Tuesday, May 13.,
For players whose shards were already converted, the team is preparing a compensation package to be delivered before the next Alliance Tournament.

[tidal notch]

https://tenor.com/view/were-very-close-very-close-close-friends-with-buddies-gif-15122387

[waxen patio]

3200 temp disruptors? how is that going to help with the tournament task?

[grand bison]

I was wondering the same...thought maybe they would give out some currency or Something. Thats just a useless "compensation"

[spark flume]

Only the open ticket number and not the closed ticket number for my missing $pack contents? I'll make a new ticket

[rare vale]

@tidal notch the comp for the artifact autoconversion might be the most laughable comp ever deployed... and useless to many upper level players.

[unreal saddle]

<@&509690795536941056> this compo chest is a joke right? scopely converted more than 300 bps in my case. And i get 3200 temporal disruptors?

[frank chasm]

@tidal notch the temporal disruptors are fine, but what about those of us with Q Trials issues still waiting for promised compensation from last week?

[dense prawn]

What happened to alliance tournament? Supposed to start on Wednesday but not showing.

[silent gorge]

This compensation Chest is an absolute joke.

You auto-converted hundreds, almost a thousand artifact shards on my end, weeks/months of work and saving, and this is Scopelys response.

Why do we even bother anymore.

[velvet python]

My Q trials needs reset…. After 6 days Scope ignored the request and closed the ticket, Have opened a new ticket. “Just put in a ticket…” Pathetic support on this known issue…

[pastel jungle]

It's only Tuesday?

[carmine yew]

is this .6 of a difference actually ment to be intended every month?

[dense prawn]

It's been Wednesday for 9h and 40mins here just noted they didn't use the local time converter thing and just hard typed the date, so will actually be on Thursday.

[silk gazelle]

I had enough artifacts for 3 10K point tournament tasks before you auto refined my mats without my consent or permission. And you “compensate” me with 3,200 temporal disruptors? What an absolute disgusting insult. That’s the biggest middle finger to the players I’ve ever seen. Keep your garbage compensation. A complete steaming pile of 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

[haughty sail]

even worse, they give them to you BEFORE the tournament so good luck with that task 😄

[smoky thistle]

I swear to god the Scopely email reception software is blind, I include the game title every time sometimes in the subject line but it always tells me I havent and the email goes nowhere

[nova sierra]

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> you need to tell them to fix the website bugs... seems they don't even want us buying in at this point...lmao... re-logged in probably 15 times to get to the store and still doesn't direct.

[unborn halo]

Thanks for the auto conversion comp @tidal notch in the announcement that it was being turned off y'all specifically said for temporal. But also turned it off for regular artifacts. Any idea when that's coming back???

[half roost]

3200 disruptors when I lost tens of thousands lol

[unborn halo]

You lost none. You got them when they auto converted.

[silent gorge]

We didn't lose the TDs, we just lost the intended use of the shards we had banked when they implemented a function that exceeded what they announced it would do. So there was still a loss.

[half roost]

So how much in tournament currency was lost due to it? Certainly more than 3200 disruptors worth. Just because you're willing to accept it doesn't mean it's equitable for others

[unborn halo]

Currency lost from tourney. 0
Time lost from removing the feature. Hours.
If they had included in the announcement all shards would be converted what would that change.

[silent gorge]

Currency lost from tourney: tens of thousands.
Just because you don't feel it impacted you doesn't mean it didn't impact many others, clearly enough spoke out for them to reverse course, so your trolling is unneeded.

I think everyone would be more than happy if the original artifacts auto-converted, that is what was promised in the feature.
What wasn't specified in the update list was impacting the Temporal Artifacts, and that is where multiple people lodged complaints when it occurred weeks ago.

[unborn halo]

And again. If they had said. All artifacts will auto convert what would that have changed. Y'all would still be upset, but no comp.

[limber oriole]

But that's not what was posted. If it was, the blowback would have been immediate.

[half roost]

If you're losing hours to converting artifacts, you're doing it wrong. It sounds like you're either not high enough in ops to take advantage of the dti store or you were an early adopter and got everything you needed from it. And you're right, people would be upset even if they announced it. It's almost as if a better redemption mechanic was already introduced to the rest of the refinery. Maybe you should be petitioning scopley to include artifacts in the bulk refining instead of arguing with folks that invested months of saving and not converting for tournament stores and more

[vivid breach]

I see a memorial battle pass in the web store, but I see nothing in the game. I’ve looked for an App Store update. I’ve restarted the game. I’ve cleared local cache.

Am I missing something??

[vast nest]

If you bought the bp for the May arc, you can then buy the memorial day bp, which will then have a second bp show up fully completed. So you wont see anything until you buy it

[tawdry forge]

How can someone open a ticket anymore? I’ve emailed multiple times and didn’t even get an auto response. They took away the contact us buttons everywhere. Seems like they are wanting players to just quit

[limber steeple]

Was BOLDLYGO only supposed to work if you haven't unlocked SNW Ortegas yet??? I tried yesterday, I tried today, I've tried all caps, no caps, I guess the code is just cap, eh?

[fluid mist]

I think the code was only available to be redeemed for a short time

[faint mulch]

Just Sayin @tidal notch If we get Captain Jellico Officer..... we have the birth of the Robocop Event.

[viscid ocean]

You can keep your 3200 temporal disrupters and give me my temporal artifact shards back or fairly compensate me with alliance tournament store credits for the task I wont be able to complete because you decide to auto convert my artifacts shards.

[tiny panther]

Was the new update today to add more lag? Taking forever for me to collect my refineries

[tidal notch]

You don't need to convince me! Jellico could have a really awesome/sassy OA. I think @rose spear would also be on board.

[tidal notch]

I missed these!

[viscid ocean]

So we should all be opening tickets about the shards that were taken?

[faint mulch]

Captain ability: -50% of TNG crew abilities.
Officer Ability: Morale cannot be cast on ship.

Also gains and gives ZERO synergy from TNG crew.

[tidal notch]

I love this! Perfect!

[vast nest]

Putting Jellico as captain, reskins every bridge officer to a proper uniform

[tired heart]

Temporal disruptors are useless unless you're adding a 10k spend task for them to alliance tournaments. Did Scopely completely misunderstand why players are upset? Or do they just not care?

[rugged dove]

So nice of Scopely to give us events where we need to kill 200-1000 mobs per event. It’s so much fun.

[tame robin]

Scopely math... I died FIVE times before killing the new Augment trader on the 6th time. 30% death chance? What happened to me had a 0.243% chance of ever happening, and yet here we are. Scopely SERIOUSLY needs to recalibrate their RNG because this is absolutely ridiculous.

[finite mural]

That doesn't mean it's not 30%

[ornate rose]

%30 of the numbers just that %30 is drawn %75 of the time

[silent gorge]

30% over the entire player base, some hit that 30 regularly, some almost never do

[tepid bramble]

It’s called weighted RNG. And if you think Scoply isn’t using it, you’re foolish. And if Scoply or anyone tells you otherwise you’re being lied to.

[carmine yew]

All these new ships that comes out are all classed as 4* ships so does it mean that all the research we have that states 5*+ ships does not apply to these ships?

[silk charm]

yup

[tiny panther]

I have an idea for scopely. Do not add any new contact until the majority of the bugs in game have been fixed.

[fast anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-barnacles-funny-gif-gif-14509494416451968887

[robust tartan]

What kind of garbage customer service is this? I was waiting over a week to hear back from someone, and you closed all the tickets because there were too many? That's some serious 🐂💩. Newsflash - you're getting the same amount back because you didn't answer the last ones! Seriously, if I pulled that at my job, I'd be fired on the spot. Idk whose hair brained idea that was, but not cool.

[limber oriole]

Between that and the weak comp, the general consensus is, they dont care. One step forward two steps back. I feel for you and others who lost something or was waiting on qtrial resets that had their tickets canceled. Ridiculous customer service imo.

[hollow blaze]

My Q trial hostile still kills me. I could defeat hundreds of this hostile before. Now it is impossible. @tidal notch

[robust tartan]

Thanks. Yeah, this is really bad. They really don't care.

<@&509690795536941056> is this a joke? I lost over 500 temporal artifacts shards, you guys sent the wrong compensation, i got no use for 3200 artifacts remnants

[humble reef]

hi

[cunning tulip]

@tidal notch you might want to amend your post to let ppl know how many disruptors it contains, and also hint that those ppl who didn’t like being autoconverted might well want to sit on that pull until they can grab the AT task for it….

[tepid bramble]

Yeah, but that 3200 won’t do squat for the AT, barely a drop in the bucket if I remember it correctly. I know I got boned a bit, but not as bad as some of the folks I am hearing about. However, I know it was more than 3200 I got boned out of. But this IS scopy. They will keep kicking the can on proper compensation till a “new” problem arises (hey Mantis folks, you feel me?) And we’ll all move along like proper lemmings

[cunning tulip]

Task is acquire 15k temporal disruptors.. the bulk of that, if not all, should be coming from rare xindi pull.. last AT wasn’t all that long ago so if you dumped most of your excess shards then, you prob hadn’t built up a huge amount when the silly auto convert of those happened .. 3200 is poor, but it helps..
But not telling ppl how many are in it, and encouraging them to go grab the chest right now, is a bit off imho..
Also, it’s not like ppl « lost out » entirely - you got the temporal disruptors, even if you didn’t want them right then and there.. probably helped to do the recent artefact SLB…
Could be better? Sure.
Could be much better announced? Defo….

[slow mirage]

Where do I find these Khan Champions to complete the mission?

[nova sierra]

You have to get your reputation high enough with the augment faction, and get a mission to spawn the hostile to defeat. These missions do not unlock until your reputation is at "superior."

[tepid bramble]

ie MAXED. Total FOMO money grab 🙄

[limpid dragon]

@tepid bramble not really, you just need to grind it, mission wont disappear, so you have all the time to complete it

[dark plover]

Hi @raw fiber You can help me? My server (94) its continue ops locked in 60, and we have several months waiting for unlock g6 space

[raw fiber]

hello!

94 is lined up for ascension soon! 🔥

[valid grove]

Your article about „Priority 1 Away Teams and how to be successful“ (https://startrekfleetcommand.com/news/developer-insights-vol-2-mastering-priority-1-away-teams/) is beyond cynical, it is a straight-up mockery of your players.
You basically say „You wont have any chance at all without buying in, and with heavily buying in, you‘ll get some chances“ - on top of most people not being able to consistently attempt any Prio1 Away Teams because you‘ve hid them behind a high-bar „run once every 2 days IF you do the grind“ requirement.
Your so-called „revamp“ of Away Teams is not a revamp at all - it is a pure „pay2play“ extension.

To make this feasible for the average player: Either drastically improve sourcing of the Prio1 Charts to start those assignments, or drastically lower the required officer stats.
No one is going to bother running a Prio1 away team with anything below 80-90% success chance as long as chart sourcing is so low-turnout

[limpid dragon]

Dont forget these favours, they are essential

[keen loom]

When is new content not a mockery and blatant appeal to spenders these days?

[torn basin]

Anyone ops 59 and below have the augment rep to superior? I’m looking for suggestions right now. I’m sitting at 20 million rep and not sure if I’m maximizing my crews and ships. Thanks everyone.

[haughty sail]

It's shocking that their own example in the article still hasn't hit 100% success AFTER all those upgrades, favours and research. And we all know how this system works, if it's not 100% you have a 99% chance to fail it. Which is even better if they take 4 to 6 days to run and sigma speedup sourcing is minimal to none so you can't even try to speed through it just to get a bit of the loot to do the research with.... completely insane loop design

[keen loom]

You know. Another gaming company has the right idea. Pay for cosmetics. NOT mechanics or content.

Imagine STFC using that model.

[spark acorn]

Yup truly competitive games don't allow players to purchase wins. Only skill does that. Here is Black Amex Cards. Valorant is a good example of truly skilled based competition

[native shoal]

The in game support approached a Responsetime from more then 48 hours now ? So events ticking threw and nothing happens. That is very odd and also very uncommon. <@&509690795536941056>

[keen loom]

In the current STFC landscape this can’t exist. Want to bring game balance? That’s how you do it.

[spark acorn]

I agree. But if whales can't buy events like normal they'll quit and Scopely will avoid that at all costs even to the detriment of minimal spenders to ftp players.

[keen loom]

Right. I’d sure love tricking out my Rot as something else. Plus officer attire? That’s stuff people would gladly pay for.

Can’t keep putting out Atari level graphics quality 40 years after the console went obsolete. To be clear, I’m talking about system view, in any system.

Let’s at least move into this decade with actual ship graphics when not zoomed in.

[spark acorn]

Touching the graphics on this game would destroy what little functionality it still has. 🤣

[keen loom]

We put man on the moon with less computing power than most people carry in their pockets every day. It can be done. Perhaps if code wasn’t farmed to the lowest cost provider….

[cosmic knoll]

Anything f2p can do thats worth 10k will be removed, altered, lower odds of appearing. rerolling to get higher paying tasks that are f2p friendly is like winning the lotto ... and im no millionaire.

[keen loom]

The STFC community doesn’t exist without the entire spend spectrum - in current state.

F2P
Hybrid (battlepass purchases)
Paying Elite

Scopley should be well aware that it’s not content, code and features that keep people playing.

Its relationships. Period.

Balance the game across the board. Don’t continue to alienate one group, and cater to the other.

[limpid dragon]

U just need to save choice tokens for Tournments, you dont need any thing else

[spark acorn]

Those tasks are only for G6 players 10k tourney. The mats from Bp don't work for anyone lower as there is no task for g4 or g5

[keen loom]

Speaking of AT.

<@&509690795536941056>

AT ready to launch with:

100% functional tasks
No lag refreshes
100% working AT store

Please confirm you are not launching month 642 of a broken event, after 641 months of feedback on each of these items.

[spark acorn]

Some free to play 10k options are as follows : destroy epic Borg/Dominion madas, acquire epic ex Borg credits, spend quantum communicators, acquire galactic recruit tokens, to name a few off the top of my head as I can't remember them all. There are some others also.

[olive oar]

Cute trick, give us bulk refine to make refining easier, then reset it every few days to make it take longer again

[tropic crown]

Any plans to actually fix bulk refine?

[woeful rapids]

why, what's wrong with it?

[tawny walrus]

I didn't mind having the auto-convert of artifacts as a concept but I would have left the temporal artifacts alone (no auto-convert) and only done the old school, original artifacts. If that isn't an option, having a button that says "convert all" would be helpful. The 1/5/20 buttons aren't that useful because full conversion often requires to the slider to be used.

[fast anvil]

yea the auto convert was good as usual just horribly executed.... as usual 🙄

[stray delta]

<@&509690795536941056> @native hazel <@&509691611903426561> My response, after spending thousands of dollars on multiple accounts, to scopely's continual desire to maximize their profits at the expense of the player base... is to leave the player base. Scopely got some of my money, could have had a lot more, but now, some other game will get that money. Taking the 15 alliance tournament tasks that I had already saved up the shards for and turning it into 3200 Temporal artifacts that provide no assistance in the AT is the moral equivalent of screwing me and then afterwards offering me a handful of Vaseline. You could have had so much more from me.

[tawny walrus]

I actually don't think Scopely was trying to take the playerbase's ability to complete an AT tournament away. If they were, they never would have restored the original functionality. I think it's more likely they were trying to smooth out the process and save us clicks. What I don't think they fully understood was how we were using it to complete the AT task. If that wasn't being used, the auto-convert would have been perfect. I think that says more about AT tasks than the autoconvert function.

I applaud the developers desire to help us save time interacting with the interface and improving processes. That said, I'm not sure how we can better interact with the developers so that these sorts of things can be avoided. I'm not sure it'd be practical to have players chime in on every new feature/improvement but there needs to be a better understanding of something before it's implemented.

[twilit hamlet]

Yeah it's called beta test and scopely clearly never heard of it

[lost bough]

I can agree with your point but would rebutt it by saying, that they reversed it because of feedback & that feedback told them that players wanted the decision reversed due to the AT task. So what did they do? Give us a pitifully low amount of the wrong temporal artifacts needed for the AT task so nobody can complete it this time, but I wouldn't be surprised if they also removed that task before the next AT run. That's where a genuine error of judgment can start to be considered to be deliberate/disingenuous.

[rich elm]

Would do those if I could get the currency for them

[limpid dragon]

Dont insult those hard working women

[dark plover]

about in what hour start Alliance Tournment?

[vale wasp]

5m.

[lusty basin]

Is that 5 minutes after the announced time like some other events 😁

[vale wasp]

It is up now.

[merry comet]

Kudos to the programming team on Tournaments. Tasks are repopulating almost immediately after refreshing now. The twitchy way it refreshes the UI is a little annoying, but it's good progress.

[jaunty prism]

Scopely: Hey guys want an artifact that lets you queue attacks?
Also scopely: We're gonna make all new hostiles fast as heck and despawn every 30 seconds so half your queue just disappears.

Waiting for the "Kir'Shara v2" where they try to sell the version of it that actually works.

[limpid dragon]

@jaunty prism depends on hostiles, some like MU traders arent that fast

[merry comet]

This twitchiness is what I was referring to. Very annoying.

[jaunty prism]

I think the hamsters have been shaken too hard by tournaments, I just got stuck twice thrice trying to warp to exile space

[waxen patio]

annoying, but better than restarting all the time

[merry comet]

indeed

[jaunty prism]

0/2200? Seems you didn't complete it.

[spark acorn]

Much like refresh tokens awarding the same task over and over thus wasting them and my time....

[rare vale]

Glad to see AT reroll was fixed to happen quickly and efficiently, and the store refresh seems to have been corrected so I don't grab the wrong reward.

That being said, the refresh on tasks visual refresh is going to cause people to have epileptic seizures, and the store is taking an extremely long time to complete claims.

[rare grove]

Yeah why is the screen bouncing all over the place has already made me and a couple other end up selecting the wrong tasks?????

[rapid lark]

FFTT200 MADE CONTACT

[sullen matrix]

Rereshing is definetly pretty good right now.
Now its time to tackle the interface twitching and resetting.
The shop definetly became worse. Try to scroll to the bottom without it resetting to the Top.

[hollow blaze]

You didn't spend enough to make your problem a matter for them. If you would spend enough you would be on the discord where p(l)ayers matter and wouldn't write here on casual discord.

[severe plover]

Can we stop with the away mission bp Jesus Christ I’m running out of speed ups

[stray delta]

Who says I am not? Totally different audience, and there is no reason to not use MULTIPLE paths to getting the message across to scopely that one of the people that has spent more money than I should on their game, is leaving due to their incompetence. How would you ever be so droll enough to think that I only brought it up here.

[tough cypress]

Customer service...
No "go put a ticket in and wait 3 days"....No slo mo either!

workaround is click on right.left most event, select it and pop out to get the thing to scroll

[raven jacinth]

Why does the only top 2 alliances now get promoted????

[viscid ocean]

But each of the previous 641 runs attempted to resolve one bug but introduced a new bug that was equally annoying.

fixed now

Scoring not working correctly in Sisko event 😡

[deft karma]

@tidal notch can confirm

[haughty sail]

buying anything from faction store is taking absolute ages, so slow. whatever fix you did for alliance tournaments clearly is impacting the regular faction stores too

[weary falcon]

Yea, this grinds the whole loop to a halt. Why have speeds ups, if you can't even start another away mission for 2 or several days while collecting the min 250 per day.

[raven jacinth]

Can't do event we used all our directives doing the other event

[storm oracle]

The refreshing of tasks runs amazing but the rest is lagging

[silent gorge]

@tidal notch requesting you run faster sir 🫡
The hamster wheel powered server is currently underpowered and the glitches are getting weird. Some things from my AC:

• battlepass suddenly disappearing
• chat not allowing typing
• Event store taking to paid store
• Ships frozen
• AT store speed refreshing 😅

Why isn’t Tournaments fixed yet? Since first tournaments, there were always issues.
This should be fixed before next tournaments launch

[rocky quiver]

@tidal notch so I grinded 120m Augment rep and spent 2k epic credits on the Khan hailing frequency and its being given away for free with the Khan PVP meta event. Thats pretty messed up. Just saying.

[silent gorge]

Just checking in case, but the event only counts Xindi in the 40+ systems

FIX ALL THE GLITCHES IN THE GAME!

I can't believe I'm still dealing with that ridiculous 0000 when a ship returns! Also, I've been kicked out of the game 5 times already due to "Connection issues," yet no other game I play does this! Then, there's the 40-50 second lag each time I click on collecting a reward! Then, when I reboot, it just spins and spins and spins and spins! Preparing! I'm so tired of seeing that black screen! I have to reboot 3-5 times each time it reboots, because the game just can't seem to reboot all of itself!

My wifi is in the same room as me, and I have full strength. Yet, there are constantly "connection issues!"

These glitches alone are enough to make me want to uninstall and delete my acct! No other game that I play has even close to the same issues!

And, I have already commented in detail about the religious grinds this month!

You had maintenance almost every day for awhile! You obviously didn't fix anything! It seems like maintenance was used to break more things in the game!

[ancient vapor]

Where does the feedback and suggestions for STFC database go?

[prisma nacelle]

Not sure on other servers, but on mine, GC is pretty toxic and I avoid at all costs. It shouldn't default to GC when I log into the game.

[rich elm]

every time i see that "The best ship in the game..." tip on load screens, it reminds me of the Eve Online Special Edition item... its been there for over a decade

[neon atlas]

I hate that too, but I also block everyone who is toxic in GC. I also block a certain alliance when i catch them OPC, because the PMs are always hateful and gross. It's actually really quiet now 😆

[obsidian gazelle]

😂emergency ferrets

[graceful cedar]

In the past 3 hours of play, I've had to restart my game 7 times. Tons of ghost armadas, ship travel timing out to zero, multiple overlapping screens, claim chest and goes to blank screen .... I'm so glad we've had all the maintenance we have, otherwise it might be downright unplayable.
And in grand tradition. The Alliance Tourney tasks aren't scoring properly again.

[light beacon]

Those are all standard features of the game now they've been issues so long there just features latest maintenance gave us a help button that sticks on 5 expect a fix in 3 to 6 years 😀

[graceful cedar]

Then I think it's time to find a game with fewer features.

[nova sierra]

That's been happening for years. They aren't going to fix it unfortunately. Their motto is they only fix things that are absolutely game breaking. If you can restart the game, they consider that acceptable unfortunately. I've submitted bug reports with the error logs, and yet years go by and those bugs never get fixed

[spark acorn]

It appears that the only Logical conclusion is that Scopely hoped they completely tanked this game so they could sell it at a loss for taxes and try to invest more into failed Pokemon. Lol

[dense prawn]

Does support ever do anything with tickets other than close them without any resolution? I dont know why I even bother

[graceful cedar]

They wait a few days and close them all out. That's all they do with them .... and if you press the issue, you get a threatening response from them.

[nova sierra]

Here's some feedback: **it's completely ridiculous that 7 hours after Changling Kira was fixed, the developers still have not credited us the missing points from doing the Armadas. **

And no, i'm not going to just grind out extras to finish it. It is up to the developers to retroactively give us the missing points, and yes I'm going to keep on hounding them until they do

[spark acorn]

#FREEREVDEUCE

[lilac oar]

What was Scopley thinking when they decided to make this event? Wait even if you have the bridge crew unless you buy directives you will still need like 45 directives to finish. Have you lost your mind with the money grab here scopley? you really need to use a calculator. Most folks need to spend in excess of 6 hours playing to even think about finishing this.

[civic haven]

There is an event feedback channel fyi. But this event was very easy for tenured players who have access to t5 Sisko and Miles. I get how it might be really hard for a newer player.

[lilac oar]

What and run the risk of being blocked for a day because of spamming. Its not like they listen anyway.

[loud onyx]

This took about 10 min for me. I get its different for everyone, but not everyone has to complete every event. If you had all the officers at T1-4, it was something like 18 armadas. That’s a lot, but I don’t think they ever intended you to start all 18. In many cases, a group of 6 people could start 3 each and complete it. If you’re in a position to have to start all of them yourself, you’re probably either in G6 or don’t play well with others and don’t have a decent alliance to help you.

[lilac oar]

For me I have the bridge crew and one of the lower deck officers. All at t2. What gives me 40 points per mada. Or about 45 madas to complete the event. A very large part of my server is the same way one way or another. We ground out all the hostiles this week to find an event that isn't possible for many. Just seems like another money grab to me.

[native sparrow]

Can you fix my ghost ships in cecin?

[tropic crown]

The auto death features in new Aug space is getting old., I am seriously thinking of start skipping that area.

[pale drift]

Ok this is getting old. I collect something in the refinery and it goes to that and i have to reload the game. FIX IT PLEASE. thanks

[red rampart]

@lilac oar , this was by far the easiest challenge for me. I had O'Brien and Changeling Kira maxed and everyone else except Masriad. 8 Armadas to finish.

[warm zinc]

184 unplayable lag again thought we had maintenance to sort these issues

[craggy stump]

same on 126

[warm zinc]

Oh there’s 2 of us playing that will be why 🤣🤣🤣

[vocal tinsel]

Game lag is so bad, I can't collect daily clicks. Unplayable again. FiX THIS GAME!!!!

[solid gust]

I can no longer scroll the "Events" 🤣 . Broken menu.

[fast anvil]

so I'm all for the new ATA but if I do 3 80% ATA in a row and it all fails then something is wrong. failing is fine if there's a lot of sourcing for the planetary charts but there isn't. 160 a day and 400 to start a uncommon one. that's 3 days B4 doing a uncommon ATA. and then you make us grind 9k or smt ATA currency for the rare ATA unlock and 10k for carol T2. genuinely, did you even test this

[pale garnet]

get rid of the new away team missions, they're useless, pointless, from having a team of officers to choose from to having zero useful officers to choose from, some missions even need a certain officer to even start them, and that officer is either needed elsewhere or has almost zero value in that new away team mission, you most certainly do not listen to your game players , and decide to go against everything we all say, this has been the worst arc ever , so far, you have no conception of how to add useful content to a game and most def are only in it for the cash that fools are willing to give to you

When will the combat training 70 mission get fixed. I've raised a ticket for it 3 days ago as advised on the other channel but nothing. It's really annoying an impacts daily gameplay

[sullen quail]

Is this a new restriction? Sure, my chance is low, but since when there is a lock? My assessment rank is over 300mio

Fix these khan challnge events! or rename it to khans torture events!

can we have some work around for this we dont have enough players to kill one of these

[languid tinsel]

LOOT BOX ISSUE IS STILL NOT FIXED. I am still losing loot during claiming!!! Lost about 150mil rep on each faction today, and that is just what i know about.

[vale wasp]

The exchange to get DockG is right next to that one. Takes 1k of the shards.

[near mist]

Thanks long day and it was pointed out to me.

[tropic crown]

@community Bulk refine is still broken and putting in a ticket is pointless as they just close it and do nothing.

[tulip lava]

Was I meant to of put a ticket in for the broken bulk build?

[vale wasp]

Use the report function in-game. They're fighting against them, but it's easy to make a new account. Posting their spam messages here isn't allowed.

[keen loom]

Interesting that some of the content creators - who provide more balanced and objective information regarding the state of the game - are not being renewed. Yet another blow to the community of players that pay Scopley’s bills.

[wicked crescent]

If that's not a true show that they don't like criticism and truth of what players actually are saying, I dunno what else will show they don't actually care about the majority player base

[keen loom]

It always amazes me too that anything negative - Scopley hopes to just sweep under the rug in terms of player feedback, engagement etc. They still have so many lessons to learn.

[spark acorn]

Rev and DJ should worry less about Scopely insider news that's usually suspect or garbage in the first place, and instead strengthen their fan bases loyalty with information they actually need and can benefit from. They will do really well and then the narrative belongs to them and not Scopely. Imho

[bright siren]

The new priority away missions are ridiculous. Sending the highest level officers out on a 4-day mission with 16-20% chance of success?! Nope I’m tired of trying that. I’ve seen suggestions to use speed-ups to take the pain away, but still - it’s kinda dumb to need to blow speed-ups consistently just to patch how lousy the system is designed. Or is it just that since I’m a mid-level player (currently ops 28) that there’s no way I could have officers high enough in strength to have better than a 1 out of 5 chance of success? Plus is COSTS in-game mats to send the crew?

[hollow lintel]

How about blowing rerolls in tourney just to get the exact same task again and again.

[civic haven]

“Neither side has yet to make a move” …so they have both moved 😂

[bright siren]

I’ll post this here, though I feel this is kind of a bug also: PLEASE revert the various awards results to pausing so we can see what was obtained!!!!! Now, in (most) places in the game, you earn the loot which briefly flashes on screen, then quickly disappears away in the animation. There is NO WAY one could see what was gained! So what, now we have to go chase it in every portion of the game to try and figure out what we just got?! How that blunder of code ever get released?! But only in most of the game. Some screens do pause like usual. I’m not going to attempt to identify here which ones do and do not. That’s your job.

[pale garnet]

you need to get someone with half a brain to pick the officer choices v's hostiles, most don't work at all

[bright siren]

The entire ship information available in the game is lacking. I.E. to see a ship’s details, you have to get into Swap Ship, then actually assign it to see what chaos tech Etc. is equipped. You start with ONLY a thumbnail of each - not useful with multipe ships of the same type. Doh!

And why would it ever be designed that you CANNOT see critical info in-game about your ships and crew?! If any ship is busy with anything you CANNOT even VIEW the crew or details?! Except for while warping? Oh but there’s an exploitable bug - choose a ship you CAN view, then scroll left/right to see the details (the details tab). Sooo, it’s not entirely intentional, just difficult to get to. M’kay. Why, when the entire premise of the game is managing the activity of ships, would seeing info about your ships be hidden from view?

And no customization at all for any ship’s info, name, Etc. It’s the model, period. And then only which dock assigned, so any given ship could be and dock letter. Wouldn’t it be handy to be able to assign nicknames?

Futher perplexity: You assign officers to ships. Ships. So the officers stay at the dock - NOT the ship. Okay then. So swap ships, now some officers are orphaned - locked out. Not intuitively, as you can remove them from the non-existent seat, but only. Otherwise they’re just kinda left in limbo, not assigned to a ship but still cannot be assigned to a different ship as they appear to be still assigned to the original ship? Do it one way, or the other way. Not just pop an unavoidable warning of like it’s a catastrophy if you try to pull an officer from one assignment by trying to assign then from another ship.

The whole thing is disjointed. Clearly different folks wrote the various code, didn’t communicate, and it all got thrown together incohesively. Has to be, as I can’t believe anyone ever walked out of a design meeting agreeing to the way it all works today!

[limpid dragon]

@tidal notch@raw fiber Chaos Attack SLB disappeared from Events

[bright flicker]

You can turn that off in settings. Will revert back to slow animations on all claims.

[bright siren]

I know, but that’s not what I mean. You can turn off the long animations for a few things. A recent change now hides (zips away with a quick animation) the loot/rewards gained, where it used to pause so you could see what it was, in a graphical list. I.E, you got officer shards. Now they appear briefly then zip upwards on screen. Who was it? You have a second may two to try and recognize their thumbnail pic, that’s all. Heck, you could have gotten a few officer shards, some speedups, rss, and a few other things and there’s no way anyone can tally that up at just the glance we’re given now. It was a recent program change that changed it, I’m begging them to put it back.

Sure you could enable the silly-long animation that’s like a short video, and of course you can turn that off as it’s old after playing the game for a day or two at the beginning.

[void relic]

Integrate 1990s IRC. Instead of current chat. Its way better, efficient, secure, with more abilities

[lyric otter]

stop it with the 200 hostile tasks...NOW

[tough cypress]

They blame the content creators for the criticism. They backed out on DTI because of a call to arms (metaphorically), the players, absolutely annoyed without creator input anyway, came together and demanded change--so they're trying to get rid of the "ringleaders".
What they don't seem to understand is that the player base is unified with or without the content creators, and scapegoating those folks will make things worse, not better. We're all "ringleaders".

[bright siren]

UI inconsistencies are frustrating me. It wouldn’t / shouldn’t be hard to play through the game once and make things consistent. “Start” should be “Start”, not go further to another page that also contains “Start” that actually does launch (away teams for example). Same with “go” - some game screens have “go” just proceed to a next page. “View” or “Next” should replace anything that DOES just view or next, every time.

Edited to replace “Launch” with “Start”, which it actually reads in away teams.

[tough cypress]

Im level 56 with decent officers. Highest i've seen is 25%....

[unreal saddle]

<@&509690795536941056> why augment reputation from chest claims doesn’t count in Khan Acclaim SLB?

[plain sand]

Nothing is scoring in the augment event right now. Another oops by them... lol RIP your scoring from the chest pull...

[weak stream]

This is Scopley to a T.

[bright siren]

The whole “red numerals” that show that an action IS available (and how many). That is not consistent (and that’s besides the repeated bugs that get stuck with a red number that really doesn’t really mean anything has become available). That bug just trains us that the red number system is unreliable!

So instead we learn to ignore the red numbers showing items are available - sometimes, in some places like Claims, Help?! Argh.
So then at times there ARE items available…no red numeral, so if you don’t check every single loot/reward resource you’ll miss out! Especially when it’s a timed resource.

Wouldn’t be neat if that entire gameplay was reworked in this functionality? ONE place to claim. Like…the “claim” button? Instead of Claim and/or Events (and the Event store), and/or the “Refinery” which isn’t a refinery really except for a couple of sections, the rest is tied with something else, and there’s the Ships/Officers/Factions/Items/Refinery/Archives - which SOME yield loot/rewards, others are simply to manage your stuff… it’s rather illogical and convoluted. Sure, we learn where various things are because we have to. But would we really want it to work that way?

[bright flicker]

You can literally turn off the thing you are complaining about in settings so that you still get the full loot screens.

I think now he is free more than ever and say whatever he thinks about game

[tight drift]

Suddenly, starting at reset just now, I can't scroll to the right in the Events screen. It just snaps back to the left side and I can't reach Daily Events at all. I've tried restarting multiple times, repairing the client and even clearing localization. It's happening on both my PC client AND my Android phone.

[civic haven]

They can sue him for slander or issue a cease and desist for advising players against spending or downloading the game (if he were to do either). While he’s probably fine from a freedom of speech perspective, we both know that he’d stop being a CC for this game rather than hire an attorney if it came to that. I would rather have him better protected and not having to come out of pocket for his BP giveaways. But per Rev’s request, I’m not here to make any demands. Just gently voicing a reminder of my opinion (mods, if once per day is considered “spamming”, please let me know what an acceptable cadence would be).

[tight drift]

I think they might've fixed my issue. New record for response time.

Thanks!

[lunar ocean]

Freedom of speech only applies to the government. This is one of the worst misconceptions perpetuated by... bad actors. Still can't make a case on anything he says that wasn't known before the NDA expired though.

[jaunty prism]

They make a new account, get put on a brand new server, then use their newbie server transfer to go to another server. The game is just very poorly written and doesn't actually show the right server for them.

[vivid nebula]

Aah thx, didn’t think of that

[jaunty prism]

That's not how slander or "cease and desist" works, at all. Try again (or maybe don't, because armchair lawyers are the worst)

[leaden junco]

So, the new event wasn't scoring obviously, but is anyone else having bo scoring on the Reptillian Hunt? I'm in Togarth boxing these things down with the required crew (archer, edata, etc) and just realized no points there either.

[tawdry moat]

Vindicator weekly event not working (scoring)

[sullen quail]

No event is counting atm, wtf

[hollow blaze]

No events, no reputation, no dailies. Nothing scores at all! I am totally NOT surprised. But I'm curious how can you mess this up so bad?

[weary wolf]

Alliance tasks not scoring

[leaden junco]

So, I think it's lag scoring. I'm sitting working on upgrades, and suddenly my Winner box lit up 10 minutes after @tidal notch ...if that helps you guys with this new issue

[fluid mist]

<@&509690795536941056> i have an AT task that didn't register my refine i had to do i filed out a ticket with all necessary screenshots. So my question is should I be choosing another task or no since I still have 2 more tasks to do and they gave me a 24-48hr response for an agent to be in touch with me??

[oblique relic]

<@&509690795536941056> Finally sorted itself. Gods, I hate scoring Lag! Can anything be done if the game have apparently accepted I've picked the '10k Epic Dominion' task, has adjusted my task count accordingly, but then failed to register my scoring on it? (even more annoying because scoring on it requires opening Rare Dominion chests which have a long cooldown on them)

[tidal notch]

I THINK its scoring lag and the point should show up. I'm looking into it.

[fluid mist]

awesome just didn't wanna do the go on a rampage thing and cuss everyone out ya know sometimes using sugar is better than a huge pile of salt right....

[olive mulch]

Congratulations. Scopely has ignored the player base long enough that I tried another game, and I'm enjoying it instead of STFC. Less grind, more actually playing. If this was your desired outcome, I think it is a win-win.

[fluid mist]

hey quick update just game lag of 15 minutes for the task to register ham thanks for looking into it

[tidal notch]

No no no. That's ok. No need for a rampage. Restarting should help if you're not scoring.

[raven blade]

@velvetthunder9915 wait... We can use sugar?

[neon hill]

hi It's always like this when I go to this area and it won't drop out of warp. and I restart the game, but I find my ship on the station. @tidal notch

Armchair lawyers are almost as bad as ppl who come to the feedback channel not to provide any feedback of their own but to comment on others’ posts.

I think you pinged the wrong dude but yes you can use sugar if you want to sometimes asking politely gets a faster response. On the other hand depending on the situation rampage gets a pretty fast response too rofl

[rare vale]

P1ATAs are hot garbage. Just failed one with 96% chancevof success. I lost the use of crew for days, and wasted speedups to complete it, and of course the starter currency is so slow to accumulate that I cant even start a new one. P1ATAs need a long hard look. Not saying to make chance of success easier, but the ability to accumulate starts and speedups needs to be drastically improved. This kind of thing makes me absolutely not want to deal with this content at all.

[burnt terrace]

This was happening to me constantly today. Just trying to get to the Texas class area. Tried 8 times….ship would stop warping half way, game would freeze up, restarted….just for my ship to appear back in my base

[kindred lotus]

But a path exists, though.

[finite mural]

have you hit 61?

you have to be 61 and advance the main mission line to unlock g6

[bright siren]

... in SOME places. I NEVER want to "watch a video" upon collecting loot. I just toggled the option again to test what I mean to say. For brevity that's settings/general/disable frequent game animations.

With it OFF it works as desired, for example the PvE Chest open results pause to show what was acquired. Unlike other game places, where it DOES always pause like that even with the setting on (like collecting a mission key). Now I get a “video” for items frequently obtained, like mission keys, multi-phasic.

I can see the purpose of the setting, but like most things in game it's inconsistent.

The most aggravating is the bug ever-present that often (but not always) that when changing to a detail/movement heavy screen the game hangs (I.e. especially when clicking the station's outside view. Those tedious loot videos are now also included so adding to the hangs. So it's just stupid to have game bugs triggered by a cute little video with no functionality, that just delays the game over and over, and aggravates game hangs too.

iOS on an iPad Air specifically.

[muted shuttle]

Restarting should not be the go to fix for every in game issue, the game needs restarting enough to get ships stuck in warp. The game is on its knees, beyond a joke at the moment and I have not even mentioned the new arc material yet.

[humble plank]

Get it together Scopely my gawd! I've seen indie games better than this. And, you think your over priced packs are worth this?

[heavy sparrow]

@tidal notch can you please explain why after destroying multiple (more than 5, less than 10) q's trials enemies, my assessment rank hasn't budged whatsoever.. the assessment rank stopping me from attempting to upgrade the EXACT SAME THING I was "attempting " to upgrade yesterday, that i did not. I still have plenty of materials for it, but am now being told I need to raise my assessment rank..

Note the green "upgrade arrow" then the message that I need to get my assessment rank higher, I hit multiple milestones and still haven't gotten higher in rank assessment... THIS NEEDS CLARIFIED AND EXPLAINED . The process begs for transparency.

[spark acorn]

I believe 250k was first lock, next assessment rank for those is 500k. I could be wrong but thought I heard/read that somewhere

[finite mural]

look for the trial with this symbol in the bottom left

that will advance your rank

[heavy sparrow]

Just did 3 of those and nothing moves, , that is my issue (I had 3 ready to cross)

And now a 4th, still no movement... can I get a refund?

[leaden junco]

Did they take down the Chaos Attack SLB with the Khans Acclaim SLB?

[weak trellis]

Yup

[leaden junco]

Well boooooo

[steep solar]

Good grief every single one of these Khans Challenger crews deserves to be on Worst Crews of STFC.

[torn garden]

Why so we even have research in the Away Team tree that "CLAIMS" to boost the stats of officers if in reality it does absolutely NOTHING to boost their stats for away assignments?

You know, the thing that the Away Team Research Tree is ~SUPPOSED~ to support?

If that Research is NOT going to help with away team assignments then why does the research clearly say " Increases the base stat of all officers"?

If those increases are NOT going to help with away team assignments then it needs to spell that out in the research's descriptions.

And this is based upon taking multiple tiers of the research and adding "500%" stat bonus to the assignment's primary skill and seeing ZERO change to the success percentage for the assignment.

[graceful cedar]

So, all Temporal Remnants are now being auto-converted to Temporal disruptors .... right? So, when we need the remnants we need to convert them back? That's stupid! Seems like a quality of life reversal to me. Would be easier to leave them right the hell alone and let people convert them ...... if they want to. See how that works? We will need remnants to upgrade so apparently it makes all the sense in the world yo turn them into something else because you want to. Absolutel idiocracy.

[finite mural]

nothing is being auto converted at the moment

and the original change was that regular artifacts auto converted into artifact remnants, and temporal artifacts converted into temporal disruptors, that was turned off

[silk charm]

there was never an automatic process for temporal remnants.
there was one for excess shards to disruptors for a week or so, but that was disabled by player feedback

[graceful cedar]

I beg to differ ..... I just looked for mine and they're gone. In their place is a bunch more T. Disruptors, which I don't want. I now have to re-convert them . I literally just changed in the artifact shards for remnants and instead gor disruptors. Don't tell me I'm wrong when it literally just happened right in front of me.

[graceful cedar]

Well maybe they didn't turn it all the way off .... it is Scopely we're talking about. They're not known for getting things done correctly or completely.

[fast anvil]

here is my thoughts on 10k carol marcus t2 upgrade. if the buff was something like 150% to loot, i'd suck it up and just wait and do ATAs and upgrade her. 50% for 10k? gawd damn yall have lost your minds if you think 10k for 50% loot bonus is a good idea. cant wait for t3 where they ask for 50k ATA creds

[ripe gazelle]

We're not supposed to max her on day one, long game. Budget for it, just like Liquid D was scarce in arc one

[fast anvil]

I never said were maxing her day 1. a normal player maximum can only get her T2 so why is the T2 cost so high. especially when the ATAs keep failing even at high % + the lack of sourcing for new ATA

[ripe gazelle]

It's 2 weeks into an arc and content that is intended to provide a challenge and longevity. Work on your officers.

[boreal ferry]

carol’s value isn’t in loot, it’s below decks

[fast anvil]

nah can't agree with that. loot gain is so slow at lower ops so tiering carol actually helps. also there's no longevity in something that becomes irrelevant within 6 months time

[tight timber]

So i was looking forward to picking up my weekly that at $14.99 (or so) was just perfect for me to get....I was wrong. Suddenly they are all gone and replaced with a new weekly at only $74.99. I am starting to think that scopely is not genuine about providing a better anything for the player base, who are very loyal to the game. Why the increase? its supposed to be more affordable. idk you guys... how many testlers can you drive at the same time?

Ive just noticed the same thing, brought the memorial pass earlier this week, went on the weekly to look at a little 'extra', theyve all moved to the £49.99 price bracket, not going to happen. Happy to throw £9.99 every now and again as well as a BP, but certainly not this new price point.

[hoary saffron]

Opened a ticket and got message due to high volume they will take up to 72 hours to respond. Going on 96 hours now, ticket still open.

[midnight hearth]

#💬-general-feedback “Hey Scopely. First off—thanks for all the behind-the-scenes work. I know the lag’s a monster sometimes, but credit where it’s due: you’ve quietly tweaked rewards like SLB brackets, Incursion buffs, and Armada chests to push more alliance-wide participation. Smart move. Because let’s be honest—when just a handful of players dominate, server health tanks. Engagement drops, mid-tiers burn out, and new players bounce before they can blink. So, if you’re listening, keep leaning into systems that build depth—not just showcase power. That’s how you build a game that lives long and prospers.”

[mild thicket]

Why in the middle of an AT, is the AT Leaderboard broken? this seems to happen far too regularly? It did work briefly but now it's kaput.

[lusty mesa]

Thank for compensation 🤷
Not really sure if this is a joke from scopely side.
3x this chest, yeah I can use speed ups and lat.
Please explain to me how this will help my game play at ops 60

[slender monolith]

The game hates you? Not seen anything that low since i saw a poor Treasury

[leaden junco]

Is the new prime away team algorithm working? The last 7 refreshes have lacked a 1hr mission. Seems like something is off

[lilac oar]

Is scopley ever going to fix alliance tags in game?

[keen loom]

If the words Scopley and Fix are ever in the same sentence you can be assured of two things:

1. They are looking into it.
2. You’ll never hear about it again.

[carmine yew]

How do Scopley do Maths? i would love to understand how things are Calculated
The last time I did the FKR Rep event I scored 14.94M per kill. Sicne then I increased some research and some Favor for increased rep. and also the D'vor Feesha Archive rep gain
and now my kill scores 29.96M per kill.
The Archive rep increase alone is ment to be a 200% increase

[slender monolith]

200% means 2x, so that alone seems to account for most of your increase, but depends what it was before, as it’s all based on base values

[hollow blaze]

Starting currency for new ATA definitely kills the fun. Have to wait days to start a higher rarity Assignment and can't start lower rarity because of saving the currency , and it runs for 4+ days. Soo much fun.

[keen loom]

Remember Scopley is a for profit company. It’s not meant to be fun, it’s meant to tease fun, and get you to spend doll hairs.

[icy lodge]

how about fixing the IOS clinet constantly crashing bugs that would make the game better

[lusty basin]

I don’t seem to have iOS specific bugs or issues, just the standard drip of universal bugs and issues 😁

[tribal zephyr]

so Alliance Tournament is as always super bugged and it cost me a daily attempt😡 48h response by support won't be good enough to get it back

[lusty basin]

I’ve found the AT tasks a lot better this time around, no issues. Maybe an issue with too many alliance members accepting or re rolling tasks?

[vivid ginkgo]

well some people can't even do tasks in our alliance... probably gonna get us relegated... thanks a lot...

[tribal zephyr]

the way the screen behaves I'm about to have an epileptic seizure...😵‍💫

[undone igloo]

@native hazel
Why are the Selkie Skins not removed from the Faction stores once you have collected all the shards.

I just wasted 150k hazard because I traded in the wrong ones!

[glossy lintel]

how are lower ops players supposed to complete these new P1ATAs? ops 28, best officers i can spare and only 27% chance of success on the most basic common task?

[vale wasp]

Sorry to hear that. I'd reach out to CS to see if they could help.

[sour echo]

The requirements for upgrading WoK Carol Marcus are ridiculous. Requiring 10,000 Pioneers Crests is just too much for the FIRST upgrade, especially considering the current event to spend those Crests on Away Team Research.
I can see the final 2 upgrades using that current, but the FIRST????
C'mon Scopely, do better
<@&509690795536941056>

[idle vigil]

HA HA HA HA HA - good job Scopely. Another SMS that no one can complete

Georgiou's SWD Challenge - the math doesn't add up here. You would need a crazy number of starts to kill that may Apex Raiders. No one is going to have that many starts. No one can kill all the hostiles with the officers stacked on a single ships (can't move that fast)

[dire heart]

Georgiou's challenge must be a joke. Another thing never tested... just plugged in random numbers by stupid people who don't care.. Especially after everything going on with this arc, you need to do better. It's quite sad to see the state of the game this month

[waxen patio]

solo wave event that needs multiple solo waves with basically one overpowered ship/going down in level and not giving us any starts at all? how are we supposed to do that <@&509690795536941056> ?

[sour echo]

Spread those officers across multiple ships. The event doesn't say you have to use them all in one ship

[mellow cave]

To an extent but even spreading those officers around does not mean the ships can necessarily kill that many. Plus each ship gets less points per kill so need to do more.
Not sure how people without those officers can finish . Very few will have all those officers at t5

[hoary sierra]

I believe you would be better off using one powerful ship and a lot of impulse speed. With all the officers it’s 40 kills at 25 points each. Especially if it’s the GS-31, because you can use the beam to destroy 3-5 at one time.

[waxen patio]

because everyone has the gs31 and can do elite solo waves that have more hostiles 😄

[vast violet]

What a trash event

[quick gale]

Trying to force players to the store, which just encourages them to quit… well done scopely

[plain cargo]

except its kills per officer used. so 4 kills with all the officers on one ship would give the same points as 8 kills between 2 ships with half of the officers each

[vast violet]

Who has the enough of required tokens for this event.

[sour echo]

That doesn't make sense. It's points per kill. Yes, you end up having to kill more ships, but I doubt you're attempting solo waves with just 1 ship

[vast summit]

WD for Khan event, really. I can run one solo WD and I don’t have most of the officers - c’mon Scopley! 😡

[tough cypress]

12×344/23#@56+123<34/56[34]÷45=2
I'm just not that good at math...🤣

I call these "HamsterWheel Events"...lots of grind, almost impossible to do, low value rewards.

[whole timber]

The QoL improvements , like Bulk Refinery are a breath of fresh air. Good implementation too. Good Idea + Good Implementation == Happy Customer

[barren widget]

300 ciphers for a garbage event, oh yay that will get me to spend more scopley 🤣

[lunar ocean]

I don't care what your "idea" behind the event was. It's poorly executed. It's like you saw the goodwill you got over the past few months and decided to destroy it all as quickly as possible.

Dumb Saudis.

[lyric otter]

300 cyphers ??? Nah...come back with a better offer

[pastel herald]

at this point, just name all the KHAN events HEROC so the non-spenders know to avoid them

[muted shuttle]

Paywall event then, you advocating that is acceptable.

[hoary sierra]

Not advocating for it, just throwing out theories as to how it could be possibly done. This event should not require enemies behind such limited starts.

[sullen matrix]

" the overall Meta Event is designed so you can pick and choose"
You dont know how their players work at all, skipping things would require 100% transparency of events and no loss of rewards

[oak vessel]

Yeah , you guy's are making a big mistake dropping Rev Deuce from your content creator program.

[olive nacelle]

He calls them out on their nonsense, so yup. Dropped. (Tells you all you need to know about $copay. )

[turbid pond]

Please fix this issue! Can’t see what the events are, the event screen just keeps bouncing back to the beginning

[somber orchid]

So 2 days notice on a server merger 😱

[acoustic wyvern]

Anyone else remember the days when you used to play different servers each incursion, rather than the same one over and over and over again?

[weak stream]

https://tenor.com/view/tv-family-guy-pepperidge-farm-remember-gif-7555951312549958006

[hollow ridge]

Is the 'Winner' bug back, or was it never fixed?

[silk charm]

the one where you get an event rewarding you continuously until it falls off your event list? it never got fixed that i know of, it's just random and overall infrequent that it happens

[finite raft]

Just curious, is the next step for these to be a lvl IV and they go to 100? Both of these packs are $50 and I gotta say, arguably, that small quantity of omega mirror dust does not out value everything else in the other pack. What's up with that?

[finite mural]

that's the highest

[thick owl]

It would be great to not get multiple notifications from this server daily. Always a bug or a blog. It’s quite needy

[stark night]

Bulk refinery is amazeballs. Thank you so much for implementing this.
Would be great if there was a similar option for faction store and the alliance/artifact/territory tabs, too!

[wary citrus]

Fix will be rolling out with the arc launch. I've heard from some players that its temporay. How long have you been seeing it?

[mild thicket]

How the heck are we supposed to play the game if we can't see what events we should be doing?

It's a problem on both the PC client and cellphone app

[limber oriole]

Boo-hoo. He asked you not to cry about it. I have a feeling its because he led several absolutely necessary "revolts" against scopley changes. Not only did he lead those "revolts" he sold merchandise along side it. Which any good CC would do.

Look at that from your own buisness perspective, plus, he owes many apologies to players he flat out told to quit, those of us who supported him over the years were told that because they didn't agree with his viewpoints.

[covert depot]

A merger announcement on a holiday weekend. Maybe next time give people more advanced notice

[hot beacon]

All day, immediately after event reset. Can't see events so can't tell what to complete.

I've restarted the app multiple times, cleared cache, restarted the (android) phone.

Your answer says, effectively, "wait until Tuesday"

How am I supposed to keep up with events? I can reference the event list but they doesn't show detailed scoring, rewards, or current progress.

Literally the grindiest grind ever and no way to keep track of it.

How did this even get broken in the first place

[quick gale]

Ships keep going 0 timer. I kill the game and turns out their still at my starbase, such a pain in the bum

[wicked island]

new refine feature is bugged - 20 instead of 30 chests refined and crystal refinery timed out same time

[quick gale]

And another several restarts

[cyan crystal]

hey @raw fiber, do you have a rough estimate when g6 is gonna come to 404? Waiting for a bit now

[mild thicket]

<@&509690795536941056> can you rollback whatever is causing this please, it's making the game almost entirely unplayable.

[acoustic geyser]

404 G6 Not Found

[silent forge]

Merger coming to 35

[tidal notch]

Fix is coming with the new arc. I'll check to see if there area any updates.

[mild thicket]

How soon is that - Isn't that days away? why would you leave a critical bug out in your live environment which makes it almost unplayable and not just rollback whatever release it is you've made today that caused it? It definitely is something you've done today because it wasn't happening this morning.

[mild thicket]

okay here's what i did to fix this issue.

I'm using a pc, so not sure if it emulates well across to the cellphone, but:

1. swipe the ribbon left, but I didn't release the mouse button (so maybe don't release your finger from the screen?), holding the ribbon in place for about 5 seconds - it would try rubberband back to the starting position but after about 4-5 seconds it would cease. I could then move the ribbon further left, and this repeated maybe 2-3 times more before it eventually stopped trying to rubber band at all.

2. Subsequent visits to the event screen now appear fixed and the issue hasn't returned (yet)

[shell jungle]

the lag makes me feel like I'm on drugs

[steep sapphire]

@devout harbor hi it looks like we are merging servers next week so wanting to chat with alliances on your server if your able to help out I have a conference room server I can invite people to so we can chat and plan more before the merge

<@&509690795536941056> No Invasion this month? That can't be right.

[finite mural]

Support has to reset them for you

[gilded escarp]

Merge server 57 already, sure we have some of the top spenders in the game but cuz Scopley won’t enforce terms of service it’s making our server stale and people quit

[ember glacier]

We’ve had some of our biggest players quit recently also. Very big spenders too. It doesn’t help that new content continues to roll out rapidly meanwhile none of the major bugs are a priority. Focus on the items to be fixed for a month or two.

[dawn ice]

He owes you absolutely nothing, let alone an apology.

[hexed zenith]

It’s time. New deal with Netflix. They need the licensing money. @cursive marten 👍

[cursive marten]

Players could scour the galaxy for Gonzo's chickens.

[scenic aspen]

Is this the third or fourth server merge for 195 now. Every time it's the same, everything gets way too crowded, people get annoyed, a bunch quit and after a few months we're basically back to the same number of active players as before the merge. Waste of time.

[muted shuttle]

You can’t tell a Klingon what to do, would never happen to a Fed ship😂😂😂

[robust tartan]

<@&509690795536941056> I'm in one of the servers that are getting another server merged into it, and I have questions.

• why is the merger happening to begin with? Is scopely cutting staff, so you have less people to manage servers?

• why is this happening right before an incursion?

• why is this happening right in the middle of a TC battlepass?

• why was this just sprung on us with no one to explain what's going to happen?

• why couldn't you just wait until the TC time was over? Was it that urgent to have to do now?

• will we get compensated for the ones we won't be able to do?

• is it true our TCs will be reset?

• will you be expanding the TC area to accommodate the massive influx of people?

• will you be expanding all the mining areas to accommodate the massive influx of people?

I'm not being realistic to think someone from Scopely will actually answer these questions, as I have seen how silent you are elsewhere.

I'm just putting this out there in case anyone can actually answer these questions.

[livid stone]

Your new server will have the exact same amount of spaces, territories, and nodes you have now. Just double the people wanting them. Based on experience, you aren’t getting a TC comp, lol. Mergers last little while have been happening same week as incursions. Ours was as well. Buckle up 🤣

[quick gale]

Merger is happening as so many players get fed up and leave, mergers are the only way to keep server population up. They fail to realise that the hard sell is actually part of the problem, the bugs are part of the problem, the way they treat players is part of the problem, the endless loops is part of the problem. But hey, you can buy a ship to make the next loop easier for a crazy amount of money is the way they “balance” things.

[somber orchid]

I remember the last merger we had it’s was a nightmare

[robust tartan]

Do tell, Happy. What was it like? None of us ever went through one before.

@quick gale I agree with you on that. It's hard to see how many are leaving, but wow, if they need to merge just to keep game population up, then that says a lot already.

The endless loops, the tedious grinding, the more complicated currency system, and all the glitches and bugs are not a good sell to keep playing the game. I know this month probably saw a lot of people leave when they introduced the four hour event grind, and several times this month. I've never seen a company so out of touch with their base. They say they listen. Right. 😂 They concede small things that don't even work right half the time. But, the big issues, total silence.

[quick gale]

Generally, it takes a while to sort territory. Mining becomes a lot harder at all levels. Obviously the balance of power changes.
The people we merged with have been fine for the most part. But again, the complete lack of communication from scopely, our merger was announced only 7 days ahead, then a cancellation was posted, then it was withdrawn and then it just happened.

They don’t care about the players in anyway, hence the decisions they have made, also the events that they plan to make impossible to try and “encourage” (read force) you to spend.

They only reverted dti as they saw how their profits fell. I’m always surprised when I see people spend on this game and I have in the past. I bought the gs31 then the dti thing happened and I completely regretted giving them my money. Would have felt better handing it to an alcoholic on the street.

[somber orchid]

The lag was unbearable during takeovers , event areas where over populated

[robust tartan]

Wow, everything I'm afraid will happen probably will, as you said.

This merger may send a lot of people closing up shop, for when you can't even do the basics, then what's the point?

Yeah, I'm only still here because of my alliance. I have thought many times, especially this month, of calling it a day. The lack of everything on Scopely's part definitely only shows they care about getting our credit card payments. It will be so typical when they roll out the next overpriced and overhyped ship to take care of those ridiculous new hostiles.

Ugh. The lag is bad now. I see much cussing happening next week lol.

[fast anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> please get scopely to look into this. been going on for a couple of days/weeks and it's really annoying. many that I know had to ask what the message is about and has to be told it was a scam message and needed to be ignored. now imagine the players that are disconnected from the whole world(in dead/inactive alliances and not on discord/don't talk to any other players)

[nova sierra]

Merges happen when server population gets too low on the servers being merged. I think this is somewhere around 2000 active people or so, but I don't know the exact numbers to trigger it

They always happen before incursions because territories is usually reset around then, and merging in alliances that already have territories would be a problem. All these alliances from two different servers can't be merged into territories that are claimed. That just wouldn't work. So it has to be done at reset

Yes, it can happen during a battle pass. Those battle passes are active for 90 days. So you shouldn't have an issue. There's more than enough SMS battle pass territory events to complete the main one

[grave star]

anyone from EU184 on here?

[robust tartan]

Yeah, interesting. They dropped the ball with this one, as there's still a bunch of TC left.

[vivid terrace]

No mergers are always done this way. Our merger took place a week after new Territory Capture season started

[muted flare]

The augmented fire event series is laughable. $50 for 1240 premium mirror dust, 10k protomatter, 5600 ft tier up catalysts, 20k officer tokens, and 10 WoK J shards. Also Khan's <insert ship type here> specials not having ship parts is also pretty funny.

[gaunt raptor]

Have to say, in the history of this game, the worst arcs, were Voyager, Bajorin, Borg, and this current one takes the cake as being the very worst arc ever. It really has made myself and others lose any interest in this game. We play games, to have fun and unwind. When a game becomes more stressful, frustrating, and not fun, one has to question why we even bother. Oh but the arc designer makes the arcs get easier, I don't care. You peeve people off at the start, they dont want to continue. If I was in charge, I would have fired his ass long ago, pondering in what universe, does creating events that take hours to complete, 'fun', in what LSD induced universe is that?

[lusty basin]

It’s even worse for lower levels!

[ember vessel]

ANyone complete today's EE Hirogen event but not get credit for the overall EE event?

[idle skiff]

Mr Tiger is obviously a clever guy, but "reading the room" is obviously not one of his skill sets....So obviously, he'll do very well at Scopely 😀
How about going forward, an arc that doesn't need a genius level lQ to understand AND doesn't break existing stuff or introduce new bugs?
I get that there will be paid content, but meet us half way, give us a game that actually works, and isn't a full time job. Pretty please 🙏

[untold laurel]

Hey, <@&509690795536941056> just wanted to say thank you for what is up there with the worst arc ever. Unless you have 8 hr a day to spend on this game, that is. I have not had enough time to complete a single event that requires grinding augments. Now you have a completely paid event that adds even MORE grinding for $50 and terrible rewards. There's no fun in this game any more. Congratulations on a successful way to ensure I no longer give you all any more money if this is the best you can do.

[quick gale]

So many events we couldn’t complete, as we have to work and sleep. And then they add more paid events. 🤷‍♂️ I’m not sure how you want us to provide any positive feedback?!

[mild steppe]

[half wadi]

Also Scamley got rid of the only good content creator. I never watch any of the others they are horrible. They are almost as bad as this arc runner. Been playing since july 2019. These last 2 months have been the worst ever

[robust tartan]

To pay an editor costs extra. 😂

[sinful walrus]

which is why the game text is riddled with errors
including CoW events with typos that have been there for years now

[robust tartan]

I agree. I thought the DTI was complicated. Then they bring in this ridiculous addition to Augment where you die on the lowest level's aggregate, and lvl 64s are having to grind in 54 space. And the currency is even crazier. I honestly don't know how much longer I'll be playing. It's not fun anymore. On top of that, they decided to merge a server with ours the day before incursions, so besides that chaos, dailies will be harder to do now. I'm ops 61, but I really don't think I'll be playing much longer.

[north sand]

For some reason now im having trouble scrolling through the events. It keeps pushing me back to the beginning of the events tab.

[nova sierra]

That's because you're not supposed to grind with a normal ship. The whole area is made to use the reliant which doesn't get destroyed by the buffs on the revenge hostiles and the survey ships. The Reliant will also have buffs making it easier to kill ships and farm normally in these systems so you'll be able to kill hostiles at your ops level.

This is a re-skin of the monaveen. Those hostiles were difficult to grind with normal ships until you got the monaveen.

You put the reliant in a system and let the revenge hostile auto farm for you

They are making part one difficult by forcing you to grind with normal ships so you'll be more inclined to outright purchase the reliant when they release it in part two.

[ripe acorn]

EE Hostile milestones were terribly set. That is all.

[robust tartan]

Yep. I forgot about how hard the Texas class were. Now, they aren't hard at all anymore, even without the Mona. I don't even use that anymore.

[sinful walrus]

tbf most of the complaints about gameplay (as opposed to actual issues) come from ppl who don't know how to play and don't want to learn

[golden violet]

who comes up with these events that you cant even get all unless you pay

[nova sierra]

Actually a lot of the problem with these new hostiles aren't that people are really crewing wrong, but if you are average or weak for your ops level, you'll have significant problems in part one of this arc during an EE Aug grind event.

What they should've done is lowered the overall score needed (cut it in half ) for the grinding events for this arc, and that would've made things a lot better for a lot of people

[vestal laurel]

Really? What's there to learn in a pay to join event? How to spend money? I am so good at it without scopely " teaching " me to play. 🤣

[sinful walrus]

making it easier for ppl who are weak for their level is not making it better, it's just pandering to the stupid

[golden violet]

these new hostiles are design that you need the new ship that is coming next month, also grind only helps if you a high player to get all the pulls

[somber orchid]

I must be weak for my lvl then

[vestal laurel]

I don't get it ... what's the weakness for my level has to do with a requirement to spend euros in order to join an event. Is scopely paying you to change the topic when it's uncomfortable for them? Or it's the one manager with this soooo " brilliant " idea ( actual irony) behind this particular user? Uh?

[sinful walrus]

it's not difficult to understand that joining an event is a choice - pay or don't pay 🤷‍♂️
$copely loves players with FOMO
some events are hard and that (for me) makes a nice change with the challenge - what do I need to do to get better results
ofc I understand that some ppl absolutely hate thinking but that's not my problem to solve 😆

[vestal laurel]

If you're not smart enough to see the problem just sit it out.

[half wadi]

Yeah my server as an ops 61 that finally built a g5 rare last week and was struggling on lvl 50s it was hilarious, especially cause I beamed the survey he tried going for hahaha

Okay. Is it the Revenant or Relativity?

Reliant
From Star Trek 2 the wrath of khan

[ocean pebble]

Okay, I had to re-read what you said earlier. So, part 2 will have the ship released. Our group wondered if they would release one, but they didn’t in part 1.

[vast nest]

They very rarely if ever release the ship in month one of an arc. Always the new hostile month one with some new gimmick and then sell the solution in the form of the new ship in month two.

[muted shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-gif-20369681

[astral acorn]

And sales for the ship drop off after the first week which makes the 3 month sourcing utter garbage considering no one is buying the ship even 1 month after release

[vast nest]

And if week one sales are bad enough, they'll try buffing the ship to meet the sales quota

[astral acorn]

I think they've purposely did that the last 2 times just cause sales of ships have steadily gone down

I really need a definitive answer to this: does godsend ability triggers in pvps?by mistake? Or its a bug? Since pvp battlelogs mentioning its ability (+1600% damage against hostiles)

[keen star]

Pay to Particpate EVENTS ARE BAD.

[limber oriole]

Love the players who come into a feedback forum complaing about others feedback. How about instead of pandering to yourself you try to help a fellow player out?

Just because it didn't bother your game, doesn't mean it didn't for others. Challenges should be a challenge. But shouldn't require a limited resource or new officers that some haven't gotten yet.

There wasn't much positive from this arc for most. Just because you had a better experience than others doesn't give you the right to talk down or belittle others feedback on the situation.

[true ferry]

The challenges for the tournament are not feasible unless you are a high level player,like 55 an up,the demands to accomplish the challenges is out of wack,it tells you you need 800 points to complete a challenge,but it only gives you 1 point for equal Lev hostiles,that's insane

[tribal nacelle]

<@&509690795536941056> Don't think I'm wrong here but this response is not even close to the mark. Yes I've done this mission, i said as much. Aren't these Khan champion missions supposed to be repeatable? Sitting on 4 days of not being able to do them and when I finally get a response from CS, they don't fix it and close the ticket.

[marsh hill]

Basic game functions are now breaking. This is ridiculous. No scroll for the basic events tab. Ya'll got major problems if the GUI is now breaking regularly.

[limpid fjord]

Can you all please try, at least try to fix this game. I think you should get what you have working before you start adding more crap that won’t work.

[humble wharf]

If you have an active tournament task, finish it and event scroll issue will be gone.

[limpid fjord]

What about the fact that we have to restart the game every five minutes just to get things to function

I’m ops 69 , and I’m not wasting my time on these stupid ridiculous grinding events , your life will slip away

I've finished the Immortal Contact mission, and the collect button shows up, I click on it, nothing happens. No matter if I'm on my android, my ipad, or my windows laptop. I reported it to Scopely Support. They responded at 4 in the morning (??!!) And when i didn't respond... (??!!) ..they closed the bloody ticket!!

[vital pawn]

Would it kill you to put sliders on more things? trying to even cash in choice rewards is brutal

[hollow plover]

I assume that on Tuesday the USS Reliant will be released, but i have to say the experience, fun and joy PT1 of this arc provided drove me away - so i am pretty sure i will pass - so you converted a mid spender to f2p - congratulations 🥳

[somber orchid]

Maybe a week later

[raven jacinth]

lag is crazy today and black hole again today

[slender monolith]

It’s a https://discord.com/channels/509679626763632640/1369773683245318324

[quick summit]

Their greadiness is growing enormously and beyond feasible. Like this the are also driving away mid spenders and make lots of f2p quit the game. In the end only the whales are left but it won't be fun anymore if they are alone

[young yacht]

The new augment contains a lot of frustration triggers. I'm currently flying in the 60 system and get destroyed when I shoot a miner. I fly again and the miner is still there. I fly there and it just disappears. What a great logic that is again. The miners spawn far too rarely and when they are there they don't stay??? Next frustration, one of these miners destroys you twice and only the third attack is successful. What's the chance in there, as rarely as they appear.

In general, the eternal grind that has been added is frustrating. Everyone already has enough tasks in this game and the grind for the FKR reputation is completely sufficient. Many players complain that they can't keep up with everything that needs to be done. People who work, and most of them are, are particularly affected by this.
On top of all this, there's the eternal LAG and a whole parade of BUGs. If you don't make sure that the frustration doesn't spread any further, you'll probably see a lot of players who won't be able to put up with it for much longer. And forever using packages as an excuse is not a permanent solution.
As commodore, I've put a lot of work into my alliance. The general mood is in the basement, i.e. way down. It would be a shame to see it all go to rack and ruin. It's clear that Scopely wants to earn money, but that only works with happy players. But we're a long way from that.

[lusty shell]

On stfc.space, on researches, why is there no filter for ship upgrade costs?

[south kettle]

Is it me or has the arc been a Hugh fail only good for higher ops players and high spenders?

[native zephyr]

Miners have a 30% chance to insta-kill you. Someone else likely killed it before you could return for the third try.

[fossil basin]

Thanks for this post. 😇👍
I couldn’t figure out how to unlock that event. But my best guess was I had to buy a pack. And even then, I wasn’t sure it was the $50 pack, or maybe optimistically, I thought it might be the $15 pack.

Thanks for explaining it was the $50 pack. And so not worth it. 🤣🔥

[rapid sorrel]

Incursions Scopely? Really? Bring us back to server 163 first

[cyan crystal]

Might be, but its true that they despawn randomly. Watched one despawn while no one else was around

[young yacht]

I am aware that this 30% chance is built in. But the miner disappears. That is the first thing that is not correct and if I have already attacked it once and it destroys me a second time, we are at 66% destroy and 33% win. As I said, the same miner, not a new one. These miners spawn quite rarely and then there's chance and disappearance built in, plus every time I get destroyed I run the risk of another player shooting it down in flight time. Isn't that a bit much? (To explain in more detail, one miner was only destroyed the third time. So the same miner no longer has a 30% chance. One miner destroyed me and then denied me the chance to continue attacking because it disappeared when I was already flying towards it and had marked it with an attack.)

[slate sandal]

The 30% count for every battle/attempt

[tough cypress]

Like clockwork. $$$$

[vital pawn]

HE knows too much, kill him now, before the rest hear him.

[nova sierra]

They spawn on a 55 to 60 minute timer like clockwork. They also only stay out for a certain amount of time before they go back to the little cloud spawn points and disappear. This usually happens if someone hasn't killed it within an hour. So if you are trying to kill it near the end of that timer, yeah it can disappear if you don't kill it quick enough. This is nothing new though. All hostiles work this way in the game. They spawn, and eventually go back to the spawn point and disappear.

I get tons of them every day. Once I kill a bunch, I set a timer for about 55 minutes after I kill the first one, and then go back and start all over. I usually do it in the middle of the night when no one else is hunting them

It's also best to kill them with a very good loot crew to maximize your time . Picard, garret, 5 (or carol if you have her) with emh & byr below deck.

[tough cypress]

Last arc or two. I'm wondering why they realeased two ships at basically the same time that had such simular names. It sure as heck confused me for awhile.

[young yacht]

Thank you for the explanation and the crew tips.👍 😃 But I had hoped that we could also talk about it here in the feedback channel, that some things are rather pointless and annoying and could be done differently. You describe how you get your miners in the new augment. But please ask yourself how many players on all servers can do this overnight. For these players it is more of a coincidence to get a miner and then they get obstacles in their way.

[nova sierra]

Well the survey ships are the least of the problems with this arc. Even if you do get them, it takes a lot to be able to pull a rare or epic chest unless you can farm rare or epic with your main ship. I mean you don't have to get those survey ships, but it is nice to get them. You can get them during the day, but like any other arc. there is competition during the day. This is nothing new. These rare survey ships have been relevant in many arcs in the past.

The systems are difficult. However so was the vidar, monaveen, etc until you got the specialty ship.

My main problem with this arc is the events . The EE events often want you to kill a lot of these augments, and people have to kill much lower than their level resulting in 200 to 600 needed for an event. The mission designer should've taken this into account and set the scores about 60% lower. Have they done that, this arc would've been more tolerable.

The challenge events also were terrible. They made you have specific officers that people may or may not have had. Even if you had them all, if they weren't rake 5, you would still need to grind at least 100. That wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to do the horrific numbers from the EE event.

The common and uncommon loot is really easy to get if you just grind with a decent loot crew. It can be done relatively quick. It'll be easier to get the rare once the new ship comes out.

But yes you definitely have a good point that this arc could've been done a lot better. My reply wasn't in any way shape or form designed to lessen your frustrations, but to hopefully give you some tips on how to get those survey ships better 🙂

[vivid breach]

My events tab won’t scroll. I’ve restarted. Cleared cache. If I scroll to the right; it resets the tabs back to the beginning

[young yacht]

You mention the next problem, the events, and I can tell you that there were more than just slight expressions of frustration, especially from small and medium-sized players. I shoot enough low materials in the 50 system with loot crew and Revenant and have also made the millions in the event with my ops 63 ship. But it's not really about me. Frustration harms the player, the alliance, the game as a whole. That should be avoided!!! It shouldn't be too easy, but it should be doable without frustration.

[fallen wasp]

3 different stores all tied to the same arc and all ending at different times. Officers in 6 days, Khan's in 4 days, and choice in 1 day. A lot less confusion if you ended them all at the same time.

overflow battle pass

[ashen fossil]

The Battlepas Overflow has not completed, I have completed all events daily.

[merry dew]

Scopely really doubling down on another monster grind for today. You guys and gals can do it. I'm not going to devote a whole friggin day grinding 100's of hostiles to to even bother with it. I have a life outside of the game. If anything this makes me NOT want to drop 100 for the new ship which will answer this problem. To me this is done on purpose to FORCE us to buy the ship. Keep doing this BS and see how fast people stop spending money. Eventually you'll just have your whales because guys like me are not going to keep rewarding you for BS content and blatant money grabs. I usually spend 200 a month on this game, as soon as this arc came out I stopped. I'm done giving these clowns money. I'm starting to regret giving these guys anything to begin with seeing the direction this game is going.

[strange iron]

Most of my alliance are missing 2500 points - all complete the BP both f2p and p2p.

[brazen prism]

Scopely has a placement rate of a thousand times trillion when it comes to special ships, new loops and so on. You never get the time. It is now really advisable to start using contraceptives. It really needs to be taken down a notch with a factor of one thousand. Next three months nothing new but improvements to the game and stability improvements 🫠

[craggy sinew]

@raw fiber @tidal notch Why is the ticket events ending early?

[wooden spire]

The bean counters appear to have demanded bandwidth reductions to save a few pennies. Tell them where to go, it’s so slow I’ve given up for today.

[pastel quail]

Is anyone else short 2500 battle pass points??

[gilded escarp]

They don’t care for your opinion sadly, as is proven by how most complaints here get ignored or brushed aside, it’s all about money, so they only care for their .5% players who drop thousands a month

[young cliff]

The more annoying they make the grind, the more the whales see value in paying to bypass it...

[gilded escarp]

That’s why certain arc runners keep getting arcs, even when the majority of players HATE their arcs

Maths isn't scopeleys strength?

So I didn't miss a single bp event yet I didn't complete the overflow???? What gives....I see it's not just me

[blazing kayak]

same here.. I am missing 2500 pts for no reason

[grave hawk]

Every blankety blanking time I go from the event store and try to go back to the regular events I have to restart.

[shrewd dawn]

Go back into the event store and go into one of the buckets. Then click the events tab.

[grave hawk]

Thank you. I've tried that and it has worked one out of 10 times. But I appreciate your help here 🙂.

[silk charm]

it's usually either "the one of the buckets you were just in or the first one" for me, if it works.

[grave hawk]

Is there some weird fix for the Q trials I'm not aware of? Can't seem to get a response from my community manager or through a ticket so maybe you guys have the secret sauce.

[tiny panther]

Did Scopely do the Math wrong on Battle Pass this month. I am just shy of getting the last tier of overflow, and I have talked to several others who also didn't get the last rewards, even though we all completed BP every day. This is 2 months in a row that I completed all the events and didn't complete BP.

[finite mural]

#⚡-mod-announcements

[zealous rose]

lol this month can’t end soon enough.. complete all bp events and fall 2500 short of the overflow. yall are batting 1.000

[fluid mist]

well they did start the year of heĺl at the beginning of the year personally I would left that arc until the end but I dont make the big bucks or decisions around here rofl

[silk charm]

that one I don't know of anything other than "haha maybe you can buff a big enough ship enough", because if you can kill it, the next one will spawn normal. I do understand that's somewhere between "a large ask" and "impossible". failing that, you do just need a ticket to get actioned on by cs to reset them.

[grave hawk]

So if I can kill the biggest one it will reset? Just want to make sure I'm understanding that.

[finite mural]

how long has the ticket been pending

[vivid ginkgo]

jesus i think every bp the math was wrong so far...

[silk charm]

if you kill a q trial hostile, the next one in that track is normal, but it doesn't affect the other tracks. if you have all 3 of your 4* tracks bugged, clearing the, say, interceptor hostile only unsticks that track.

[grave hawk]

Well I'll give it a shot

[unborn halo]

ya know whats funny, the Q trial thing happens every time they add new hostiles with new abilities. instead of having a DB that the Qs hostiles pull from for stats/abilities they pull from all hostiles in the game, so when they add a new hostile thats super strong like the augments, they have to go back in and exempt them from the pull. instead of just creating their own DB that would never need to be fixed

[graceful lotus]

Was there a shortage on BP events? I'm short on the overflow. It is likely I may have missed events, rough month.

If you are in an alliance when they reach a new emerald chain level and then you leave that alliance do the emerald chain benefits stay with you?

[hearty shadow]

So if it gives you a +1 officer preset and then you leave it then you loose the officer preset?

[graceful lotus]

302.5k out of 320k so I guess I missed a few bp events

i don't know how the presets work, but the other things - refinery extra rolls, stat buffs, etc - do go away

Some of my higher ops players are still short for BP Overflow points after getting the comp chest and they have completed all BP events.

Hey, the store is broken again! This Khan's Challengers event keeps taking me to the online store. Can we have someone "look into" this issue?

I had this happen a few days ago, game restart fixed it.

[reef kindle]

go deeper into one of the store menus and then try coming back into events

[graceful cedar]

I kinda figured that might be the case .... just getting really tired of restarting the game 15 or more times a day. I think THAT might be a quality of life issue they might want to "look into".

[severe vessel]

Can we get a multi claim button on the mission key recruits. Frustrating it’s the only one that needs individual button presses

[vale charm]

anyone else not getting loot for kills?

[finite mural]

There's a 2k hostile limit

[silk charm]

If you're not getting loot from anything, you have probably hit 2,000 hostiles since the limit reset. You won't be able to get loot/xp/rep from hostiles until that limit resets later today at 5am UTC, 1 hour after daily reset. Event scoring is unaffected.

[finite mural]

once reached, you no longer receive chests, cargo drops, rep or exp

[vale charm]

is that also for borg cubes?

[acoustic geyser]

It's for your account, so yes every ship you have stops earning

[faint summit]

Laaaaaaaaaag

[torn blade]

2k kill limit is harsh. Makes me want to quit each day I reach it. I’ve heard what Scopely thinks - the data doesn’t support it, we’ll get burned out…okay, but if I have to stop playing for the rest of the day because of an arbitrary limit it makes me want to not pick it up the next day.
Solution? Lock it behind an ops level or syndicate level. Ops 38 seems like a good candidate. Just a thought. Thanks for listening.

[merry dew]

Love the new events that you have to pay for lol. You guys can suck a fat one on that. The EE hostile grind sucks to begin with now you add paywall events. Before long the only people playing will be whales and newbies who will figure out real quick this is simply a money grab.

[hollow jasper]

@raw fiber Event page is currently unusable with how much glitching there is.

I'm amazed that was the reason for it. Thanks.

[odd prawn]

Oh my...I can't even believe that's a thing 😲

[shrewd dawn]

This is the intended reward scheme for lower level D7s. I don't know why scopley wants to show a reward of 0. But when you kill higher level D7s those 0s are filled... So scopley math at its finest.

[odd prawn]

Working as intended, soon everything you tap will take you to the store

[graceful cedar]

If we didn't have to kill 3000 hostiles every day for this stupid arc that wouldn't be an issue.

[odd prawn]

It's definitely been a rough one for sure

[ebon mesa]

Server 202 so laggy we can't do arenas

[radiant saffron]

Ad campaign but no new servers!

It seems like a missed opportunity and waste of money unless I'm misunderstanding something here:

I just joined the game, following several ads telling about Star Trek Fleet Command for PC. Yet, after levelling up and meeting other players I find that they've been playing for months, and I'm like 6-12 months behind and can not catch up. How come money is spent on advertising and no new servers are made for the new players so they can compete??? It's like inviting to a race and all the other cars are almost at the finishing line. It seems like a complete waste of advertising money.

[rain forum]

One reason people don't level up fast is the requirement for generators to be leveled up as well, the most pointless buildings , that unfortunately is a requirement to level up in ops , please change this

[left star]

Acc as well. I can’t go to ops 57 until acc lv 50 (max)

[gaunt raptor]

Sad fact, you'll never catch up. Catching up in this game is a concept of mind and never a reality. The game has been around for years, with so many things added, and so many things still being added. You're right about the advertising, and it lured you in, it did what it was designed to do. The reality is, don't concern yourself trying to be top dog overnight, it'll never happen. And its more like 6 years behind if starting now, not 6 months. Just go at your own pace and try to enjoy the game. Though honestly, the way the game has been going, this current arc more so, there really isn't anything to enjoy. If I had not already invested several years into this game, and were only 6 months into it right now, I would have packed it in with this months BS of a farce.

[radiant saffron]

Thanks for the response, but you're kind of missing the point here:

When they get an influx of players from advertising campaigns, there's an opportunity to give new players an equal starting ground, which will motivate them to stay in the game since they can compete with each other. Failing to open new servers when new players arrive means that they end up in my situation with everyone months, or even years ahead.

[haughty sail]

That's their plan though, they just need to find 1 or 2 players feeling frustrated by that to open up their credit line towards scopely and boom, a new whale is born to catch up and buys all the packs everywhere....

[radiant saffron]

Yes, the point is to earn money, which is also what I address. However, for whales to emerge they must first get invested in the game. They get invested by being able to compete with other players. That's when they start spending to get ahead of the rest. If they're already months behind when they start the game, they simply move to a different game instead.

[signal bison]

It might feel like you're "behind" but really starting on an old server is a massive advantage. All the low level mining nodes will be available, you can benefit from joining an older alliance and probably get some decent buffs and rewards from it, server politics has likely reached some kind of equilibrium etc etc

[radiant saffron]

I appreciate the perspective. While all that might be true, it's the equalient of joining a race by riding shotgun with the best racer instead of competing in your own car by actually racing. Few, if any will join a multiplayer game and have no chance of competing.

The feedback stands: Please open up new servers when you run an advertising campaign. Otherwise any new players attracted will simply leave for other games where they can compete. It's really that simple. Advertising and providing no competitive environment to play in is a pure waste of money.

[fast anvil]

I'd like scopely to stick with what they promised, lessening the grind. not just for this arcs augment and all subsequent arcs, the events as well. we all know NSEA event is on Mondays (maybe Sunday for you US peeps) and yet scopely put the mirror event yesterday (Sunday for me) they did this again for voyager iirc last week, they put it one day before the actual voyager weekly event came up. if they allowed archive to instant do the event then i wouldnt mention it but it never happened, even after a month or so voy archives became a thing. For augment, oh boy 😂 , the grind, at least for 56, is such a pain. 2 million rep a day for 10 hours grinding? enough splices to do 1 double rare chest pull?? i know that after a few months once we get the ship the grind becomes much easier but that's at least 100 days, and that's IF we double pull the ship everyday (if we can even double pull the ship), other than this, they don't even add the arc ship to the same arcs event store to make sourcing faster, they add it to the event store usually a few months after the arc and that's when majority of players have already gotten the ship. So yes, i'd really like to see scopely to put events that are the same on the same day and also making a new grind easier at release. of course not so easy that it deters people from getting the ship(g6 players probably aren't incentivised to get the ship tbh, their ships smash almost everything) but just enough so that it allows everyone to complain less each month(this months complaints really seem sky high)

[nova sierra]

[gaunt raptor]

You're under the impression Scopely actually cares about their player base. This recent arc, like so many recently, illustrates how far removed they actually are from caring about anything from or for the players except the big time spenders.

[radiant saffron]

No absolutely not true, if you read my post you'll see I am under the impression that they want to earn money.

@radiant saffron , as someone who has both an ops 56 main and 3 other accounts started since last June, let me give you a different perspective. ALL of my current accounts are on Server 31. In June of 2023 I started an account on Server 99 on the PC that I had at the time. In 2023, Server 99 was brand new and I joined within days of it opening up. I ran into several issues. 1) New servers are locked at ops 39 for months, meaning that players run into a progression wall. 2) PvP focused players are locked out of events like Incursions. 3) Due to the ops lock, G3 players compete for a limited amount of resources and materials. In contrast, if new players take advantage of the transfer token, they can move to an established server and take advantage of the limited number of lower ops players and do well in SLB events, gain the benefits of Alliance Tournaments, get help with activities like Armadas, advice on crews, ships, progression, general interaction etiquette etc.

[lusty basin]

Totally agree! I’ve waited for new servers a few times and they always start off toxic, always have whales that push too hard to 39 and get bored so try to kill everyone to prove a point. This time around I did indeed camp for a while and jumped to an established server. I’ve actually progressed quicker this time and most of the toxicity is gone. It also has a well established ROE and it’s a nice place to play and actually learn the things I may have skipped by rushing and competing on newer servers.

[red rampart]

@radiant saffron, it's not necessarily "riding shotgun" . On Server 31, my HOK alliance consists of my 3 Alt accounts and one ops 41 casual player. Effectively I'm participating in a Sports Car Race/Rally with multiple classes of participants and I'm racing in my Class (Mid to upper G3). Sure, IF needed, I can call on my ops 56 account to assist in Formation Armadas or to get buffs from Specialty Ships (Titan, Defiant, Ceritos), but that means NOT having those buffs available for my main account.

[olive nacelle]

Some honest advice from an ops 66 player who has been playing since the start. This game is dying, it’s on its last legs. Scopley are now squeezing it for every last penny they can.
Go find one of the millions of far better games out there that won’t try to bankrupt you for a single pack mate. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[radiant saffron]

Thanks for the good advice everyone. I'll find a better game among the millions out there 🤣 😉

[sharp salmon]

Good 👍, because this game will break you and your bank account

[digital bay]

Stupid question to upgrade my voyager I need 5* epic gas however this is nowhere to be found outside of the refinery. If you want to buy any pack going from Research to ships or whatever pack you want to get the Epic 5* Gas it does not even exist in the store. You find all other 5* products listed except for the 5* epic gas. Is it that rare that it can’t even be bought from the store???

[sharp salmon]

For what I have spent , I would think that the game would be fast and fun , it lacks both , I no longer spend big money 💰 on a busted , clunky game . And I’m ops 69 . It’s a business and they need to make huge profits . You will never be top dog in this game , so play free , otherwise prepare to spend big time

[digital bay]

The game is fast if you compare it with a snail need to restart it every 15 min or it will even be restarted for you. If you are looking to complete a missing mission to allow you to progress good luck in finding the right entry point. The bi weekly “maintenance windows” only makes the game go from bad to worse and when you are waiting for the game to update the system view for example you can take a shower and hopefully once your back you have the system view available to you. They charge a ridiculous amount per pack and can’t even get the game running without any lag inter fearing with the game

[formal bear]

Server 86 is dead.... we need a merge so badly.

[limber oriole]

Events were designed that way for some reason [cough $$] look at the choice tokens, epic 5* crystal is available so is 5ore, but no Epic 5 star gas. Artificially creating a shortage trying to make people buy packs. Wait til you try to max an Epic 5 the shortage becomes more apparent

[urban comet]

I have a problem I want to solve

[half ravine]

If there’s going to be no effort to improving the performance of the various refinery and store pulls, there needs be more sliders with higher max pulls. Including and in particular, the alliance tourney store.

[tawdry flax]

There is no “new” ad campaign. The PC version was released in 2021 and those ads have been running ever since.
The newsest server is only a few months old. As a new player you can only interact with players a few levels above and below. Players who have been playing for 12 months are irrelevant to you and you to them. There is no “catching up” in any persistent world game.

[fluid mist]

so sarris invasion is supposed to start today but at what time. Only asking due to the times as we have events happen 14 minutes ago then 45 minutes from now and an hour and 45 minutes from now so what timeframe is it coming at???

[round shard]

I've said it before, it's annoying that supposed Emerald Chain rewards are actually locked to the Master League only.
At least be honest that most of us are getting nothing for Chain progress by saying so in the details there.

[dusky zealot]

Haha you are joking, Scopely announced the next server merges, nobody in this company has a clue what is happening 🤣

[limber oriole]

They merge server almost monthly. This isnt a new thing. What they won't do is unmerge a server

[somber orchid]

Don’t think it’s almost monthly think it’s been awhile since last mergers

[modest mirage]

please reinstate the choice rewards as did not get to use them with all the game laag and the game issues and problems and restarts etc, so didnt get to use them. Not very happy fro level 66-70 players here!!!!!

[vale wasp]

You should file a ticket and ask CS to manually exchange them for you. #👽-how-to-contact-support

[jade inlet]

Gotta have the choice Awards store last 1 day after the BP ends. If anyone was running behind and finished any BP just as time ran out, there would be no time to spend them.

[vocal pollen]

You are removing free battle pass giveaways from your best content creator? Your community management performance just reached the same level as your in-game server performance this month …

[sweet mason]

You just sold me a battle pass and then removed the choice store !

[worn tiger]

@raw fiber Plz bring back the choice rewards for another 48 hours. Historically we always have at least 1 day after the arc ends before the rewards go away

[raw fiber]

I'll try my best

[main field]

We need more alliance tournament

[odd prawn]

So you did a mega grind event that purposely left everyone with a shortfall of 1000 tokens which the only way to get them is by placing on an SLB that is based on random chance??

I managed to get an impressive 1500 every single time so no chance at all of placing in the SLBs.

Wow...

[cloud vortex]

Give players a LITTLE more wiggleroom with the choice rewards!!! At least 24 hours after the arc ends! Like with the Officer tokens! They stay on 4 days after!!?? PLEASE!!!! 😦 @raw fiber ❤️

[scarlet canyon]

Nah they have your money now, buy extra battlepass, 10min later event reset and can't spend your tokens. Typical scopely couldn't give a toss about the player base just their wallet

[cloud vortex]

Guess they showed some mercy?! ❤️

The tramp's technique for scratching a win,

[muted flare]

This pack would make sense if Annorax worked on the chests from the Augment Exiles. Unfortunately, he does not grant any additional loot for them 😐

[dusky zealot]

I know, they still don't listen to players 👍 They just close their eyes and continue their routine

[slender monolith]

Pretty sure he has 2 skills, 1 of which is quite effective vs Exiles

[marble holly]

I never got my invidual tokens from alliance tourney. Do I need to open a ticket?

[proud garden]

I posted 2 problems today.

Just wanted to make 2 positive comments:

1. choice reward tokens have been a great addition to the game!

2. I actually enjoy tournaments (yes there are glitches); I like that almost the whole alliance pulls together for a common goal, the rewards are good (particularly the emerald chain), and I like the general concept (multi-day event with options for tasks, pve, alliance-wide, etc).

[silk charm]

did you do any tasks?
if not, that's why; if so, you'll need to file a ticket ( #👽-how-to-contact-support )

[finite mural]

As CD said, need to have done at least one task to receive the alliance reward.

Otherwise you just get the global emerald chain stuff

[mild thicket]

I'm killing romulans and not getting any klingon or federation rep - has anyone else experienced this? i'm running with 3 exocomps to boost fed/klingon rep and reduce romulan rep loss.

[finite mural]

did you hit the 2k hostile limit?

[marble holly]

I did 10 tasks. Got the alliance tokens, just not the personal one.

[finite mural]

There is no personal ones beyond what you get for the tasks you completed

[mild thicket]

ah, i think that could be it, thanks - forgot completely about it

[marble holly]

Yea, that's what I was referring to. Guess I'll try and open a ticket.

[finite mural]

Not every task gives credits

If you got the alliance reward, you got what you were supposed to.

[muted flare]

Which is better as Pike Moreau Annnorax or JLP, Bev, Annorax. Offering all 3 officers in a pack is for synergy with annorax as captain since the other 2 don’t have a captains ability. Tell me you didn’t open the pack without telling me.

[slender monolith]

Then use JLP, Bev and Annorax, stick the other 2 BD, or just don’t buy it. 🤷‍♂️

[marble holly]

Ok, so wasn't I also supposed to get rewards based on where I finished individually?

[finite mural]

nope

[vestal meteor]

When are you going to sort the brackets out in Arena. It’s so frustrating fighting ships we don’t have. You need to bracket the g6 ships better. No 69 can fight a 70 unless the 70 made a mistake.

Same with 65 fighting 66 it’s the rare epic brackets that keep ruining arena. It’s the same for G5 and G4 also. You haven’t done anything since you put the restrictions on it when will you be updating this?

[chrome jungle]

Perhaps dumb question, but want to know if I need to cut a ticket. Hit Patron in Augment faction today and now the majority of the old Augment systems aren’t generating chasers for me (no warning when entering the system either). Does anyone know if this is intentional? Was using the lower level systems for grinding G3 ship XP, don’t have good enough research to run most of the smaller ships in the level 35+ systems.

[finite mural]

Don't need to make a ticket, but i'll raise it again, brought it up before

[quick gale]

So how have we ended up not being able to get the last 1 k needed for the khans challengers

[slow swift]

Where do i make a complaint to whom and can the refund if not recieved my bought items

[finite mural]

#👽-how-to-contact-support if the chat bot isn't working for you, use the email option

[pseudo tendon]

Apparently the only way to get enough currency was to place on a SLB. When they sent out the comp gift I thought it was because they were ensuring people had enough to achieve completion due to not putting enough events in the schedule. Wasn't expecting it was compensation for no event happening today which still left you 1k short

[quick gale]

Thanks for the information. Typical scopely

[pseudo tendon]

Maybe I missed something and there was other sourcing but I did all the events and came up short too

Overall disappointing, some of the events were a bit of a grind but overall I liked the concept and the thinking doing the full meta would provide a full unlock made it seem worthwhile. After the comp went out and I saw the armada event on the schedule today I thought we would come out to exactly 20k but I guess not. Definitely diminished the enjoyment of the entire meta event

[quick gale]

Yeah I also did all the events so expected to get enough to finish the chaos tech I started that will probably sit there for a year now

[left holly]

please, as a quality of life issue, add sliders to all items you can purchase from the Event Store. having to click the purchase button 20 times for the same item is annoying and irritating.

[muted flare]

the whole point is to give feedback to potentially improve things. You just enjoy being a troll. The easy fix for them if they want to sell more of these packs is to make the chests work for Annorax's captains ability or target other officers in it beyond Suder and Seska.

[faint sage]

So is the broken UI going to be fixed any time soon? I'm tired of always seeing an incorrect help all button on my main HUD and tired of the game going unresponsive every time I trigger the in game collection of a web gift.

[digital galleon]

Fix kir’shara please. It stalls out all the time and has to be canceled and reset.

[frail cobalt]

SO, not to be a Debbie Downer, but at what point does this game become fun? I have played this game for a number of years, on a number of different servers. I have progressed as high as player level 35. I have even started over from scratch a couple of times, trying to start over more strategically or just to see if I missed something the first time around. But I have yet to have actual fun in this game. The station building is slow and tedious. The missions are somewhat boring and seem like wild goose chases bordering on busywork. And then there are the other players, most of which are upper-level players that prey upon lower-level players. The events seem only geared toward upper-level players. The only time an upper-level player seems to care about a lower-level player is when there is a cross-server incursion event - "Move your base to a lower system!! I don't care if it is more convenient for you to be near the resources you need for your gameplay! The upper-level players are having a special event this weekend, and you will just have to wait until we are done to go back to playing the game the way you want!" All events seem to be designed for upper-level players, and lower-level players are only token included. Everything in this game involves the tediously slow incremental accumulation of bits and pieces of things, Hence, I have a ridiculous stash of assorted junk in my Items cache, stuff I gained from short events, stuff I will apparently never use again - I think. I collect shards of people, that apparently, I never get to use because I will seemingly never collect enough bits to equal a full person/character I can actually use. Not that it matters, because the whole formula for how to use a certain crewman and for what task on what ship is just so convoluted - I just do not feel it is worth the time to figure out. So, I ask again, is there some point this game actually switches from grinding tedium to actual fun?

[ancient heron]

<@&509690795536941056> How can we get server 86 on the merge list?

[red rampart]

@frail cobalt , IF you keep starting over on different servers, you're NOT giving yourself the time to progress. Unless you're STRICTLY FtP, you should be getting treasuries that will give you the means to progress. Also, you can base yourself in an ops 19 or lower system and still be reasonably close to EVERYTHING you need for progression. ALL of my accounts (ops 33-56, with ALL but the ops 56 being less than a year old) are based in Aciben. Aciben is a level 17 system so I don't have to "move" for Incursions. I'm close to most of what I need for materials, missions, events etc.

I'll grant you that this Arc has been an unholy slog, but once you hit ops 38 and can kill Freebooters, there's research available that will eliminate most of your daily Hostile Kill Grind (7-8 kills will take care of your FKR, Swarm and Freebooter kill daily missions). IF you play smart, you can often stack multiple Hostile Kill events to do them simultaneously.

[acoustic geyser]

Ok I have proof now, the real % is actually 50% go home, not 30% as advertised

[silk charm]

that for sure doesn't prove that it's 50% lol

[quaint lynx]

If you rely on a game to entertain you, you come to the wrong game, and complaining here about it will gain you nothing. Do what I did. Join an alliance that just doesn't care about events (we max them. We don't complain about them) and have fun your way. As far as incursions go, just shield up for one day and stay in low level systems. Spend that day with yer family reading a book, or enjoying por... A movie or two.

[acoustic geyser]

Shhhh you're supposed to be on the side of the players!

[tardy nest]

I killed 9. Died on the tenth.

[acoustic geyser]

Can you give me your luck? You are a god

[acoustic geyser]

Another 10 under the belt, ignore the cruiser. 50% still stands

[white drum]

Needed 50 thou G3 ore to donate to somebody to finish a mission, so far its been to 42 an 43 thou to drop back to 28 thou over night. Checked this mornin an it now down to 8 thou, the ATO an akbo aren';t taxin are are they?

[fiery lantern]

Your lucky, my last run was 8 losses and 1 win. Scopely is full of 💩

[rotund yew]

Where is the freebooter for swarm. I haven't found this one

[acoustic geyser]

Ops 38 minimum requirement. Ex borg research tree. It's in about the 3rd column and called Swarm Sweep.

Once you unlock that. There is green nebula systems next to the purple exchange space that has the freebooters

[rotund yew]

I know where freebooters is i use it for faction hadnt seen the swarm sweep. That would ease my dailys except on a sunday evening lol thx ill check the research tree again

[keen star]

Where the Quality we were told would be coming? Sometimes it's good content with garbage implementation like this month, and sometimes it's terrible content with great engineering! Never together, your inconsistency has become super consistent.

[chrome jungle]

To clarify, is this a bug or an intended change? I’m hearing from other sources that this was an intended change.

[finite mural]

They fixed it, but only for two systems, it was supposed to be fixed for all of the systems

[vocal tinsel]

That's roughly 1% probability... If the Eurojackpot has that probability, you will run to the shop and buy 1000 tickets:)

[warm field]

<@&509690795536941056> Why do you allow people from other servers to pm? I block them, but just wondering.

[fast anvil]

probably stuff like incursions and arena. but they'll need to somehow find your in game profile B4 they can message you which makes me wonder how they get those stuff

[sharp salmon]

So what do people make of all these servers being amalgamated, is it a cost cutting exercise, or have numbers dropped

[clear palm]

I missed 1 day of the last event month. To compensate, I spent a 20 on a points pack so I could get the rod pieces. Still came up short. Made a ticket and got no reply. So that means, no more of the moneys for me.

[olive nacelle]

It’s both. Less servers to hire/rent/maintain and player numbers are reducing with every money grabbing Arc they release.

[sharp salmon]

I thought that was the case , cheers

[odd prawn]

It seems Scopely have forgotten that games are meant to be fun rather than causing stress and boredom at mega grinds

Edit: - Reading the discord is more fun, if they released Prime Discord slow mode avoidance that is something I would buy. Otherwise done spending on this tripe

[keen loom]

Schedule your therapy visits now for next week’s content drop.

Spoiler alert

What you can expect: much downtime, even more lag, broken events, moar pay events, and of course a new ship that when leveled, for the low low cost of $1k makes the EE grind easy.

Edit: forgot to mention a f2p path, behind a rep wall, timers, and refines that will allow you to get the ship in 6 years.

[limpid dragon]

@raw fiber@finite mural how is it that a 99% success chance P1 AT Mission fails?

[winged storm]

this is not 30%

[silk charm]

because that isn't 100%

[fast anvil]

everything is a 50/50 unless its 100%. thats what i say

[slender monolith]

I even wonder about 100% too, is it really 100, or is it 99.999 and rounded for display...

[molten jungle]

I wonder if Scopely actually tests the chances to make sure they act as they should. Have had more than once failed a 99% chance AT.

[slender monolith]

Probably assumes that the pRNG works, and that the value they enter is correct. Sometimes it has not been.

[idle vigil]

RNG on the DY-200 "30%" death is pure garbage and I question if it really is 30%.

I lost 6 times in a row, and that's happened now twice. The statistical odds of dying 6X in a row are 1 in 1,371.74. (0.3 to the 6th power).

[slender monolith]

The problem there is it's discreet probably, not cumulative, and the RNG is shared with everyone else, if not on your server, then across your region.

[tough cypress]

This is new....talk about low level rewards...

[old halo]

Yeah, haven't pulled, waiting to be assured it works and is not more than a visual error.

[ripe thicket]

<@&509690795536941056> please ask scopley to stop hiding much needed content behind paywalls. You all now have 3 major paywalls that the vast majority of the game will not get access to when content is made "ftp". TC is the first, Alliance task ranking and now arena ranking. It is great that you are adding pay content with a FTP path, but when tou start locking it behind the largest alliance participation pays, not most effort given but the alliances with the biggest spenders....it is still a pay wall that the vast majority of the game can not access. Please stop. Give the big spending alliances more of the rewards or faster access but please stop excusing rhe vast majority of the game. You only discourage and push the ftp and low spenders and casuals away.

[frigid flame]

You forgot to add purple and divide unicorn to get the real percentage value.

[dense basalt]

So when are they going to fix the mission claim issue?

[finite mural]

[lost bough]

So......Scopely changed the time that the war room starts, updated the announcement......and didn't tell anyone that they'd belatedly updated the announcement?

[half ginkgo]

<@&509691205798592532>
This discord and other servers, advocate using Scopely Support when there's an issue.
In the most recent Aliance Tournament there was an Alliance Task that, either had a scoring bug or the scoring description was incorrect.
I did just that, reached to support. I even provided information via screenshots and an explanation of the situation.
With the provided information a tech updated my score, giving me credit for the 2 of 6 Rare Solo armadas that I completed that were necessary to complete the Task. I then completed 4 more Rare Solo Armadas, provided this information along with screenshots expecting support's assistance so that I wouldn't lose that 10K task.
Updating my score the first time confirmed that an issue existed.
When support finally responded, the Tournament was over. But the reason I'm writing this book of a post, is total lack of diligence. The last tech didn't even READ the ticket. He told me that I needed to have a specific Chaos Tech assigned. I showed the tech that updated my score earlier in the ticket.
If Scopely wants players to "use the system in place as it's intended" then their technicians should at least be professional enough to READ THE BLASTED TICKET. I'm a Network Engineer. I know about tickets and working with customers.
I want a private communication from someone in a position to speak on this.

[slow needle]

#⭐-official-announcements message @tidal notch, I think ya might've messed up the timestamps for the end of some of these events. CoW seems a little long, for instance

And just realised this probs should've gone into #💬-events-feedback. Oh, well

[waxen tinsel]

If you haven't found it yet, you scrolled right past it

[waxen tinsel]

I assume that if it displays 100% but there's no multiplier added to the rewards then it's potentially rounded and isn't necessarily 100%. I'm not confident it won't fail unless it's over 100 😅

[humble mango]

Could we please get some consistency on tooltip descriptions, Godsend's damage boost works against armadas but shred doesn't. You never know what works and which doesn't. For this you can at least see if it procs but for research type effects it's just guessing. Pretty sure there are some damage boosts that doesn't work at all, but even for those testing is cumbersome.

[tidal notch]

I was wondering about that. Lemme double check.

I did. I don't understand why it has to be so messed up . I was a high level programmer for 30 years and retired. It's not that hard to Q&A a server to operate properly without issues. Id be fired immediately for letting a system out with so many glitches. It's ridiculous.

[robust tartan]

You REALLY need to get more mining nodes in the game, especially the 6g nodes. You just forced a server to merge with ours, and there are so many open spaces to put more nodes at. Come on, Scopely.

[opal crane]

<@&509690795536941056> is there any word on the undisclosed punch up tax on the GS-31's Gravitational Beam that was never made known to the community in any official documentation regarding the ship? This is either a bug that needs to be fixed or it's Scopely false advertising the ship's capabilities. I know that at very least Hammy is aware of the issue, but nobody has ever acknowledged the issue in one direction or the other.

[turbid cipher]

You need an alliance that actually participates in order for Alliance Tournaments to be beneficial for it's members. There is no paywall there, just hinderances by lack of alliance participation.

The same can be said for TC, which is entirely alliance dependent on gaining and keeping a tc. If you can't take one, seems like the really issue is your alliance.

As for Arenas, there is a public option if your alliance won't create their own teams. Many people have found it to be a fun endeavor with new challenges not present in other aspects of the game.

Really, none of your supposed pay walls exist - seems more like a lack of your own alliances participation in said events that is the real issue...

[fast anvil]

if you want to actually benefit from TC and AT, join a better alliance. The top alliances usually and will always hog specific spots in TCs, especially 3* TCs and there is nothing you can do about them unless somehow u kick them out. alliance tournament just needs active participation thats it. if your alliance doesnt or cant do these then 1. get a better alliance and 2. if you dont want to leave your alliance to go to a better one then dont say its "locked" when it really isnt. STFC is just a game of who's in the better alliance, the better your alliance the better your rewards, most of the time.

another way to kick people out of tcs will be rallying your allies and then getting them to help your alliance secure you a tc or making deals with the alliances holding 5 TCs

[karmic mural]

For the 29 days a month we don't have incursions, can we get those damn people out of our ranking so we can actually see how we rank against the people in our server?

[ripe thicket]

Just join a better alliance....you are right, with 2000 players+ a server, they can all join the same alliance . Why doesn't everyone join the same alliance or two!!! The point is not about being in a better alliance it is the fact that there is limited number of spots no matter how you cut it.

Just band together to kick out bigger alliances. That is so funny. You do realize that money controls TC, unless you have money to fight money, tou can't push out money, period. Especially with the gs31. Some players habe multiple maxes gs31 ships. Even stung, 99% of the player base can not kill them or do any significant damage to them. They can targer you from anywhere in the system. With a recharge time under a minute, they can pop 99% of the players ships before they can even load the screen once joining a system, much less actually hitting them. Even if you had 500+ players trying to kick them out, unless these alliance didn't try at all, there is no pushing them out ...why? Because there is limited space inside a tc and the nodes give a huge points advantage. So even if did have an entire alliance stay cloaked and hidden, they would still win off points from nodes. Money controls TC.

And, of you play on a toxic server like mine, scopley covers up the players that cheat and steal. And most of the alliance members do not have the courage to leave so they protect the ones who cheat and steal. They access confidential and restricted data and Track you in the game and have your playerID (and scopely claims it is player sourced so you gave it to them).

Again, TC, alliance tournaments and arenas are all limiting in who can be in the top slots and all those slots have access to items that can only be accessed by a top small % of the playerbase. For one player to gain access, another has to be removed. And since money controls these top slots, 100% controlls, it is a hidden paywall. It doesn't matter how well smaller alliances work together, you can not overcome $$$ spent

[opal willow]

It's not only whether you are member of a big alliance or not, of course that makes a huge difference. But @ripe thicket is right that scopely does work better and better to make people pay for any progress.
At the moment I see the biggest problem though that 60+ players are not only getting a major advantage but in fact destabilising the natural progress by using Borg cubes and GS 31 ships .
In addition, even if you try to deny it, look at your events: if you don't have to pay right away, you find that either one has to drop the odd event or the other, pay for better progress or spend 5 times the time, and drop real life instead.

Alliance tournament he's correct about as well the high roller points normally go to tasks one (I) can't fulfil without paying so you're left with crappy tasks.
In the end just another way to milk us

[fast anvil]

yea nah im gonna disagree with you there, hard disagree. my alliance has done it before, we booted out the previous top 1 alliance on our server(currently my alliance is top 1 in power since we merged and kicked inactives) and we had the help of allies. we won against the whale only alliance on our server as well with pure numbers, no help. so yes its possible. pure numbers can overwhelm whales

Alliance tournament is just participation. A lot of f2p tasks are f2p-able now, the question is do you have the patience to slow progression through the month so that you can contribute to the alliance during the 5 days of the alliance tournament. in short term you lose out. but long term it equals out with everyone since you're just saving and then spending the resources. similar to that of a mat spend event. I myself got 100k points this recent Alliance tournament just by doing all the f2p 10k tasks and some other 8k or 6k tasks.

Arenas yea matchmaking is bad but it isnt impossible, me as a complete f2p recently got promoted to platinum rank. I get bashed by whales and at the same time am able to win against whales as well. its just if your team is able to assist you and do their part to score(if you're the main carry). it isnt impossible cause if i can do it then why not everyone else? and im always the carry in my team since i play with my alliance members

[opal willow]

See, you say it yourself, basically whether spending yourself or benefitting of others in your alliance, money is involved. "Unfortunately" not everyone can be a member of those top ranked alliances with 100 or more players each.
TC: yes numbers have an impact, but I doubt an alliance with 3* systems gives them away easily, as that's where the naughty 🤣 PvP players sit and only wait to test their gadgets

[ripe thicket]

You are free to disagree. Pure numbers can not overcome whales. They can sit their biggest ships on the nodes and there is nothing you can do to dislodge them without other whales. It was not pure numbers. It was whales dislodge whales. And no, a single small alliance can not dislodge $$$ without $$$ ot doesn't matter how many members you have if they have the same number of members, it is who has the most active whales on. So I call your claims false.

Alliance tournamet is not just participation. 99% of the ftp players are not level 61+. Without access to the 10k task, there are very few ftp 10k tasks and even then, there are only a couple that smaller players can do and they are limited to how many they can do, and several can not be done but once or twice a year, much less every month. And the larger point alliance tasks limit and restrict how often they can do them, especially if they want to do all the other current sms event during the rest od the month like running epic and rare armadas. Given equal alliance members and participation, the money spenders will always win! That doesn't mean you can not have a larger and mor active alliance squeak by a smaller participation whale alliance...but that is rare and doesn't happen on a regular basis and is a one off, not the norm. And those one offs will not enough enough to unlock the items behind the paywalls. I have maxed out the 10k tasks myself, but I have spent money and I am 61+. What % if the game is 6* and how many of then are 100% ftp!!! And not in the top alliance on their server!!! Not a single player meets those conditions.

It is not about being possible, it is about being accessible to the entire player base given the same situation. If only a small % can possible do it, and in only very rare specific conditions ( and those conditions require the big money spenders or is a .01% chance) then it is a paywall. Just because tou got to platinum rank, great for you, it was not with other ftp players.

[royal kayak]

when you promote ST: FC as "A well balanced game" use this as a cover image:

[ripe thicket]

You did not get to platinum rank without whales carrying you and they are rhe biggest spenders in the game. It was money that got you to that rank, it just was not your money that did it. And those whales can only carry 1, possible 2 other players at a time. And unless you dont play arenas again for months, you will eventually run out of credits and have to play arenas again which will drop someone else from the top or it will mean you can't get more. It is a pay wall.

It is false advertisement for them to say it is mot a pay to win game. They have made it a pay to win game now. There is corruption and unethical activities going on at scopely. The players need to stand up and demand better. You can close your eyes and pretend otherwise because you are the one benefiting off the money, but 99.9% of the rest of the playerbase is not and cannot.

[fast anvil]

alliance tournament is wrong again. there are people in this discord right now with their level 40s+ reaching max participation in alliance tournament, every task is 10k tasks completely free to play. so its possible, its not locked behind ops 61+ bla bla bla.

and for your 2nd, no, i went to platinum after weeks, months of playing, no whales what so ever. just cause someone went to plat doesnt mean "omg a whale carried him" "it was money that got me my rank" thanks for failing reading comprehension. i already said i didnt get carried nor do i spend money. the only FT i use is thaloran radiation and the CT i use is the rare ct unimatrix something from the s31 store. i play arenas basically every week. i win i lose, i get frustrated and i celebrate. and again "not benefitting off the money" i dont play with whales so thats that. i wish i did it'll make rank pushing so much better, ive lost to whales and won against whales. its just pure skill or how you and your team play. money doesnt buy everything contrary to popular belief. i mean wow! shocker right? money cant buy everything

[vocal tinsel]

What is the issue? Besides that a 1.2B t6 rota is super weak

[fast anvil]

the ops ranges are too big. 60s shouldnt be able to hit g3 players, heck even g4 players(im guessing this is what they're arguing for)

[stone roost]

Well he's not killing G5 or G6 players with that Rota 😂

[void finch]

Did waves to unlock the armada quick start pl, unlocked it, it has disappeared and cant quick start. Now saying I need to unlock, sent multiple tickets and got nothing back

[vocal tinsel]

I think I don't care if my 39ship gets vaporised by G4 rare or a G5 epic... Same result.

[gritty stirrup]

No more updates??? It was a nice game inside the STFC game.

[torpid cargo]

I agree. I was and am very disappointed by having to figure this out myself during arenas on the first Monday after the GS31 dropped. Bad forum scopley.

[hallow flower]

Fix the power leaderboards plz

[inland mist]

Hey Scopely, your new search function is already broken. It shows not all packages just only 99€ typical scopely

[spark acorn]

No small alliance is moving a 70s 8 ships off nodes period. And btw the term whale isn't beholden to only high ops players. You can have a 44ops whale, a 52 ops whale etc. So anyone claiming they bested a "whale" alliance with a mostly ftp alliance or multiple ftp alliances in TC is speaking out of their neck. Same for arena, no amount of skill can overcome a whale except another whale that has more toys or officers or ships maxed then their opponent.

[opal crane]

You can't move them off of nodes, but if you can get enough ships in the system, they can take all of the nodes. Won't do them any good.

[spark acorn]

Hmm. Ok I'll concede that if on the slim chance your facing an extremely lazy whale alliance that doesn't clear ships (most are not that, they are organized and relentless) which is also why they are top on a server you may, "maybe" clog up the system and win. Never seen it. Our server #1 alliance in like 34th in power in all of STFC, I'd pay money to see you try that strategy with them. Lol its a fail, so is winning ALBS for that matter. They don't loose, because their players are active and knowledgeable.

[opal crane]

I'm definitely not saying it's a 'probable' tactic, just that it is doable. I also say all of this as someone that leans more towards 'Eat the Rich'. The until-recently top alliance on our server is definitely not a primarily active alliance. Just a Weekend At Bernie's, propped up alliance. I would say that there's a whole lot more of those alliances out there as the 'whale' alliances of various servers. Not all, but definitely some.

And when all else fails, be sure to level up all of your ships, especially your FriendShips. Because packing a system full of ships that are just existing is definitely a strategy.

I am saying this from previously running an alliance of maybe 5 actives with 1-2 whaley people and having to use strategy to steal territory from bigger alliances just to get our seat at the table. (we're now around number 4-5 iirc)

In the grand scheme of things, I definitely don't disagree with your sentiment though. It definitely ain't easy and is a massive uphill battle.

[spark acorn]

Agree to disagree friend. Saying this as someone who was a former Commodore and turned down Co-Admiral of #2 and is now chilling in a smaller more casual alliance. All our alliances on our server could fight our #1 together and lose. Truth. $$$ plus good organization, activity levels and game knowledge they have never been knocked off a board or TC except by my old alliance very early days of server and that wasn't through PVP, it was done through trickery and their old admiral handing us their Starbase and Admiralty before they quit the game.

[opal crane]

I definitely don't think there's disagreement. There are definitely some alliances that the odds of success against are ... single digits (or less). This game isn't one of those "where there's a will, there's a way" type games lol You can't button mash your way to victory lol

There are certain battles that can be won, against odds, but against some, it's like throwing darts at a dart board, in the dark, while it's moving, and you're drunk... and in a different room.

Worst case scenario, get you and a couple hundred friends to flood a system to the point that no new ships can enter the system. 😄 Then they can never even get there. 😄

[spark acorn]

The disparity is not "whales" fault for buying things, it's Scopely catering to that fact and therefore totally tilting the game mechanics 1 way. The winning strategy because of their greed is to spend or be an observer of the spenders. Sad fact

[opal crane]

Scopely is owned by one of the richest entities on the planet.... When I said 'Eat the Rich'.... I meant it... not just the players 😄

[formal cape]

i dont know if its the right spot to ask but is there any way to resolve the problem with "Something Stares Back" mission when i click on collect and nothing happens??

[spark acorn]

@tidal notch Why did the Khan challenge event let me grab 40 Hijacked Ent D shards at ops 59, but the Scopely website doesn't allow me purchase of the other half while sale was running?

[pastel jungle]

I'd be curious (but don't expect to ever know) to see the data on whale purchased vs everyone else. For example, if you have one person spending $1000 per month vs 1000 people spending $10/month the whale will stand out, but the guppies will be bringing in more money as a whole.

[spark acorn]

I spend some but an neither a dolphin or whale. I did some math with my efficiencys and such just to see what it would cost me to boost from 56ops to 64 ops buying only. And that insane total was $18,000 dollars roughly. And that's if I didn't screw anything up trying to do it. Insanity to drop that kind of money on a game this poorly developed, with subpar graphics and massive glitches and hidden thefts of currencies, gates on everything etc.

[ripe thicket]

No one under level 61 can complete 120k points completely ftp. They can do a few 10k tasks, but they can not complete all 120k without saving up for a year+ and timing everything correctly. And even if they did save up a lot of resources and they did manage to cycle through and get just the right tasks to do 10k tasks, it would not be possibel for them to do it the next cycle.

There are not enough ftp paths for 10k tasks.

I do not believe for one instance you got platinum without spending money or whales carrying you. It is mathematical impossible for you to have won more times than you lost without spending money or being in the top alliances on your server where you have benefited from buffs/items/effects that the average player can not get.

For instance, emerald chain 19 is 150% iso defense. 18 id 1050% shields. 14 is 900% hull. 22 is 15% crit chance reduction. 24 is 1500% hull. 25 is 3000%!!! Pvp damage!!!! 27 is 1750% shields. 29 is 30% pvp iso damage. These are massive buffs that the majority of the player base will not have for a few more months. That alone gives an insane advantage in arena. Not to mention TC buffs. And access to alliance tournament store. Again, these are effects that 90% of the player base can not have at this time and will not habe for sometime. Only $$$ got them that be it big spenders. If you sre trying to say you won against whales, assuming you mean in pvp or with them fighting in the arena, without a whale on your side, I call that out as well. Before the impulse cap, that was possible, now, it is not. There is no skill in arenas now. Before there was a little. Now, impulse caps and whale ships with pvp crews flying as fast means you can not escape and once they get you, it is over. Even stung, you can not beat them. Heck, some players are so jacked out that they can drop players 15 levels higher than them. Yes, money, in pvp, does buy either win. Unless they join and dont play, you are not going to beat them in a fight.

[ripe thicket]

You can still get a ship in a locked system you cancel warp between systems and it will drop in, even if packed. And once a whale drops in, and slaughters the others. You can drop in a cloaked ship and it prevents you from being locked out. So if that tactic is being tried, a whale sits an amalgam and they have nothing to worry about. There is no way to lock a system down. And once a whale starts slaughtering, only another whale stands a chance at killing them.

Gone are the old days and tactics that used to work. Wait until you get a whale with 6 Sg ships popping everyone constantly withiut having to move. Target one and grav beam, target a ship and attack....next GS -> beam -> attack....wash rinse repeat. They can drop so many players so fast and there is nothing anyone could do but cloak and hide. And cloaked ships can mot overtake a TC od equal numbers and even smaller.

[worn tiger]

Wanted to thank you for helping bring them back. Have a great day

[opal crane]

definitely ways around it, for sure... but the beauty of most whales.... they ain't exactly the brightest. Definitely exceptions... but when money buys your strategy... I don't expect much.

Every strategy CAN be mitigated, for sure. No argument there.

[ripe thicket]

It is very easy for you to prove these things. Record a video of you beating these whales. Show the battle reports. Same thing with these ftp 120k sub 60 players. Screenshot them. They can screenshot the free 10k tasks they did. It is not hard at all for you to prove what you claim. I would love to be proven wrong here.

[ripe thicket]

I agree 100%. Most rely on brute force strength. They didn't have to fight tooth and nail to barely succeed at the game or events. They can literally throw more money at at event in the game and win.

The only times they cant win a board by using money are the few boards where you get points for spending limited mats that there is no additional ways to spend.

Mirror upgrades is a good one as most are maxed out on that research. Once they have maxed out all the researches/officers/etc, they can't spend to win.

I have noticed many whales change their tactics after I start beating them as a light spender. Then they claim they have been doing it all along or first. I have even gotten screenshots and videos of them using different crews or other tactics and they still claim they did it first. Let them take the accolades, I just want the loot.

[azure totem]

Instead of spending time and energy on enhancing search options in the store … FIX THE BUGS. There are times game verges on brink of unplayable, frustrating, unpleasant. I suggest you fix bugs before you lose more players; even your whales are starting to play less and quit.

[vivid nebula]

I did raise a ticket with support for that issue and apparently will be fixed in the next update. I’ll believe it when I see it though

[fast anvil]

oh I'm sorry for you, U don't even know which tasks are free 2 playable 🤣🤣. and if you don't know how to effectively beat whales then I'm even more sorry for you🤣🤣🤣

there are games you will lose even if you try but there are games U can win against those whales if you try your best

[livid stone]

Sorry you are wrong. We have dozens of ftp players in our alliance under ops 61 that score extremely well in tournaments. Tournaments is one of the best things this game has for f2p players. Sourcing for dozens of previously pay only items. Tournaments is strictly about planning, saving mats, and teamwork.

Is it easier for g6? Sure, but entirely possible for lower ops free players as well. Seems silly to knock on one of the things scopely offers for free players, but I digress.

[spark acorn]

He didn't say "can't do well" he said "can't complete 120k" worth of tasks. And this is true

[true beacon]

Thanks for making it easier to spend money instead of devoting resources to fixing what you’ve already released. Tap tap restart. Tap tap restart.

[fast anvil]

its possible u just need to save up what you need and then spend accordingly. its hard and slows progression but long term its worth it

[tough karma]

@true beacon so I guess I'm not the only one going through constant crash after crash

[turbid cipher]

Again, this all boils down to being in an alliance that works together to win Alliance Tournaments/TC/Arenas.

Just because you have been failing at it by only trying it your way, doesn't mean there is a paywall preventing players from achieving it. You haven't provided any screen shots or videos to support your claims and have only offered complaints about game mechanics others who are f2p have figured out and thrived with.

Seems like the only constant in all of your ramblings is you/your alliance. Maybe you should start fixing those first before telling others they can't win something because you couldn't.

Bro, upgrade command building 10k, epic dom/Borg mada 10k, acquire epic Borg etc 10k, I know how to run it and score high without buying. Games broke , refresh nets the same challenges and other players competing to get this same free 10k tasks. Undoable to get 120k
