Re this event. I’m fairly sure it was originally scheduled to end before incursions.

[sleek sparrow]

Another mess up, another official announcement, another failure to actually apologise. How challenging is it to say sorry when you make a mistake? @tidal notch

[fluid mist]

crazy in this day and age of the game and how long incursions been going on there is many servers that 1. have never had a bye week yet others have had many. and 2. that someone somewhere in a cubicle can push a button mess up who's against who and probably still keep their job cause that's just how scopley works rewards failures and mutes truth.

[tired plaza]

With all due respect, after the cluster of errors to 187. That's not good enough

[tardy sky]

The "due respect" in this case is being limited by the profanity filter...

[bold marlin]

Your devices built in AI has taken control and is insisting you can do better than this collection of bugs masquerading as a game?

Really? I've always found it remarkably easy to not care about Incursions at all.

[bleak mist]

Your incursion sucks you set us against a server over a year old I hardly call that a fair pairing

[cosmic knoll]

you didnt see what they did to 187? 😂

[unkempt roost]

It's not random, it's them cancelling out officer efficiencies in the away team tree

[jaunty prism]

I hate that you're probably right. So dumb.

[tardy sky]

187 and 188 both had 201 go in dry because scopely can't count to potato

[fast tide]

And on top of that... They rewarded 201 by sending them same compensation 😂

with no apology to 187, not even recompensating their losses ...

[bold marlin]

Fortunately, my 187 account was shielded. But still doesn't excuse basic errors of counting on Scopely's part.

I mean the joke about 'Scopely maths' is kinda tongue in cheek but it would seem to has some genuine basis in fact.

[tardy sky]

Surely there's a prime they can sell us for $149.99 that will prevent this happening again

[cosmic knoll]

its all because none of the curren generation of officers will work in the new G7 zones ... G6 was a rss reset, G7 will be an officer reset

[untold halo]

just purchased £99 pack which was supposed to give 21k galactic acclaim but it only gave 1200 please explain why

[tardy sky]

Look, there's a 1, a 2, and a few 0's in both of them, what more do you want? Honesty? Getting your money's worth? Then go to a truck stop hooker.

[spring lynx]

Need support from someone who has PC, part-time, long-term

[grave hawk]

Good afternoon! Daily reminder that the new content is less than entertaining, and having incursions on a Tuesday is a monumentally stupid idea. See you tomorrow! All smiles 🙂

[crimson ice]

I like your persistence.

[grave hawk]

It's my superpower.

[quaint haven]

Yep, missing for me too. Really annoying because I had first place sealed up too.

[short lichen]

Looks to me like they changed the end date. I wish I had taken a screenshot before event turn over today.

[fast timber]

Incursion events update in regards to being on "offense" or "defense" was a nice change. I was never a fan of forcing to migrate to the server to score points on certain events.

[quaint haven]

Where is it even located? I couldn’t even find it

[south patio]

Scopely. How does this Happen in a lvl 5 base system with full shields up during incursion. Ya’ll screwed the pooch here….

[short lichen]

In with all the other incursions events

[somber cloak]

Who's idea was a Tuesday?? 🤡🤦

[slender monolith]

Taco Bells

[wild hearth]

doesn't really matter to me what day it happens, the result is the same - I shield up and basically don't play

[austere reef]

This last arc was asking a ton of active button mashing. Like the two before asked for a lot of button mashing unless you bought a ship in the second part of WoK. In addition, an extra set of daily events added where I wouldn’t normally look for daily events. Add in that several Ahead of Curve scoring events were in fact not registering points towards the meta. (CS was unhelpful in looking to confirm more than 1 event didn’t register.)

I immediately checked out. It’s too much. So much so that even though as a full ftp I could have gone to 66 and been the first FTP on my server to do so with a 66r in hand, tiered up a bit even… I literally put away the game and did maybe 10% of events I normally would do.

Imagine that I have such a carrot available and bragging rights, but that it’s such a dumpster fire that I easily said “no thanks.”

I hope this gives an idea of how immediate Scopely needs to fix their game.

[wary karma]

Those snw ship packs are gone for that snw fleet champion event. Does anyone know if these ship parts packs will work too. Count down timer is the same

[neon hill]

Hello,
I forgot to use it due to my busy work schedule. Can it be added to the store again? 🙁

[rocky wedge]

mine are missing as well and they still had a 3 day cooldown.......

[surreal otter]

Any chance Scopely ever said anything about how crystal is the only choice reward with epic 5 star? Its rather annoying.

[unkempt roost]

Resetting materials has happened every grade change. Wiping officers collected over years would be on par with wiping the game. They may very well try it but it will be the end of the game.

[shadow light]

Infinite Incursion this EVENT This is the part I hate most about this game, it creates hatred between players. I don't know why games like to make players hate each other?

[pale garnet]

the chance pulls, just keep getting worse and worse, minimum pulls every time are bang out of order, nobody can grow anything at this rate of ridiculous pulls

[runic zephyr]

If you (everyone involved) really "care" and "understand", when it comes to matching up the incorrect server for an incursion, how about some better communication, and a better turn out for 187 players who were raided unexpectedly during YOUR mess up?

Be better. Be proactive, find out who lost what, and reimburse them. They would not have been raided in Territory and 20+ systems, if YOU didn't mess this up.

For context, on APAC, Incursions start at 3am for New Zealand, 1am for Eastern Australia, 12am for Japan/Korea, 11pm for Western Australia/Singapore, just to list a few.

If we can have areans and territory capture happen at times that make sense for the timezones that APAC is in, surely it makes sense to have incursions start at an appropriate time for players to particiapte.

This copy pasta response is patronising at best, shows that no one cares at worst: #🌌-galaxy-chat message (edit, this post has been removed - "We're sorry you got raided... We understand... comp chest..."

201 got up to over 4Qd points in an hour. Players were not expecting this - some of them asleep because it was stupid o'clock in the morning for them. Even restarting the incursion for 188 and 201 was not the best choice... at the time it was done! For the players that lost a lot of rss, the compensation chest is laughable.

If you want your players to have confidence in the game, and the people behind the scenes running it, please do better.

@raw fiber @tidal notch

[ripe jetty]

increase slider amount please

[mental meteor]

The only way to make this right is to roll back the losses on 187 in addition to any comp shests sent. This is a serious punishment to players for a simple keystroke error. #DoBetterScopely

[torn salmon]

Ehm. Don't you guys know the shield button? Just put that on and you won't get raided...

[runic zephyr]

We weren't meant to be raided. 187 had a bye. 188 and 201 were the ones doing the incursion.

[patent lark]

Not needed if you are meant to be in a buy and are busy in rl thinking all OK, 🤔🤦

[acoustic geyser]

I agree with this entirely. 187 has been severely disadvantaged through no fault of their own and players would have lost billions if not trillions of RSS which takes time to recover.

Scopely has dropped the ball hard on this one and I support our fellow APAC friends from another server.

Do better scopely and adjust the timings so they make sense. I refuse to get up at 3am to play your game so set it at a reasonable time to play and enjoy. Because that's all we want. To play and enjoy. Thank you.

[ripe hatch]

When someone makes an honest mistake, fine it's a mistake. But own it. Do the right thing for those affected. The response given (and the response that followed - "we are aware of the issue and are looking into it") frankly isn't good enough @raw fiber @tidal notch . Ultimately what this comes down to, is a huge data mining exercise that nobody wants to do (to find out how much was looted by 201 and where from) #DoBetterScopely

[torn salmon]

Yep I read it. It's a stupid fail from Scopely. But still in most servers it's shield or share. So even if it's a bye week or whatever you shield to not get raided by anyone. Scopely failed, but your server did too by not shielding.

[runic zephyr]

Since it was a bye, players shouldn't need to move out of systems where shields drop when incursions start... because the incursion was not meant to start for us. another server, which should not have been coming in, were the ones doing the raiding.

[little prism]

So when they ARE all shielded safely in their territories and someone starts incursions which drops all of their shields, what then? They wake up at 3am, luckily check their phone and move out of the territory they werent meant to have to leave, because they were on a bye?

[glacial shale]

Scopely, please fix this for our APAC players

[halcyon pawn]

It's just someone that doesn't understand incursions

[fast anvil]

why not just roll back everything for APAC. so 201 didnt get any rss they raided/gets back the rss they lost, 187/188 gets back rss from being raided/loses the rss they raided from 201 and we pretend the whole of apac didnt get any incursions.

[sinful walrus]

It’s not so difficult, right? Shield or share. Except they’re talking about players who were shielded and then incursions started and $copely removed their shields.

[main snow]

Many 188 players went to bed long shield believing wrong match up so incursion not happened. Then woke up to find overnight things happened while we 😴. So had very delayed response. 😑

[humble axle]

ehm did you hear from announced bye week? and ppl maybe was shielded (in territory or 20+ systems) and the shield just dropped cause they got an unplanned and not announced incursions?

[pale garnet]

your g6 superhighways are a joke, my ship found it quicker to use old routes to go between factions , rather than use the slower g6 superhighways, what a farce

[glacial spruce]

Two reasons. One, it would break their narrative that they can't take things away. Even though they've done it in the past when they messed up paxks in favor of players. Two, because it would require effort. Since they can't put in the effort to fix bugs, they aren't going to make things right for a couple thousand players.

[topaz citrus]

I'm finding APAC is getting forgotten and it's getting really frustrating. people leaving because scopely can't get there stuff together on top of all the APAC issues which is making the game a lot less enjoyable. Have had some really nice and wonderful people leave our server lately because of all this.

[fast anvil]

your first point being that they already do it, we know they do it, we know they can, they know we know that they can do it and yet theyre just too lazy to do it probably. point 2 also follows, they're just too lazy 🤣 .

but its all in all their fault, rss lost is quite a big deal. imagine being 59 and u lose 60-80T trit(cuz who the heck cares about pars anymore) thats basically t1-12 for your epic, now imagine you're getting 2 epics. thats i think t1-7 on both before you need to start finding more trit. tbh if they rlly want to desentivise raiding then they should give us the option to convert raw rss to tokens. we keep the bare minimum we need and convert the rest, then the only way to actually win incursions is thru pvp

so yea they should pull that laziness and just give us back the rss and rollback everything for apac

[quartz comet]

Any chance of getting an optional prompt (like the Latinum spend confirmation) but for the FC Lorca ability. I keep catching it by accident when going for the daily claim button.

[frosty yarrow]

there is a prompt for it

[sinful walrus]

Rolling back is only possible when the error was in the players' favour 👀

[tired plaza]

@raw fiber @tidal notch you really need to look into a proper method to fix and reimburse this major issue, stfc stunted heaps of progression with this mistake

[glacial spruce]

The biggest issue is Scopely runs this game like its a short term con/get rich quick scheme. After 7 years, they're at a loss as to what to do. Scopely is in way over its head with a game like this. It could have easily been going strong and been extremely profitable for another 10+ years. But they, obviously, don't have leadership that is capable of that.

It's like they got the best 3 card monte street hustler trying to sell aircraft carriers to the Navy. Sure they're good at getting peoples attention and keeping them engaged with some flash. But they don't have a strategy that extends past the next 5 minutes.

[fast anvil]

they're banking on the power of friendship 😂

[frosty yarrow]

im still missing the best ship in the game, the friendship 🤣

[tired plaza]

Friendship only stretches so far, groups can just as easily uproot and play another game together

[fast anvil]

you havnt watched or played enough pokemon probably. havnt u seen what friendship does in pokemon? obviously friendship prevails 😛

[cosmic knoll]

ye i understand, but they did it to chen, etc. they can do it to anyone. they already made hostiles 'immune' to the snw pike shield bypass by giving them less shield than health (in many cases - not all). some of the new ones push all dmg to shield first and ignore all officer abilities/research/etc ... this is their test to see if it works and if we can find a way around it before the G7 bombshell

[sand jetty]

Hello everyone, how do I get to Cita Liga?

[frosty yarrow]

https://discord.com/channels/509679626763632640/509689314821799936

[robust tartan]

We need better sourcing for sigma speedups for 61 plus. Hitting 51 70 MU surveys and getting none is BS.

[robust tartan]

Yeah and ops 61 and up get 💩 for speedups.

[vast nest]

Just tell them up to 100T trit, 400T parsteel, and 50T dilli, and that an exact figure is hard to estimate so they need to rollback the server to ensure the correct amount is returned if they cannot tell you how much you lost

[magic cedar]

You hit 51? I it sometimes 500 in 1h. And it's totally not enough speedups for a decent game progress.

[robust tartan]

51 per run, so probably 200 an hour. Yeah, I'm at the point where most everything now needs sigma, and the 5 and 10 minute speedups in the dailies are horrible.

[vast nest]

For players on 187 and 188 who got screwed, I'd go so far as to recommend telling support that account rollbacks are the only equitable solution to resolve the problem caused by their programmers. And that if they do not do so, account deletion requests are the next logical step since Scopely refuses to fix their problem. <@&509690795536941056> are not going to get this fixed fast enough but an entire server threatening account deletions might just do it fast enough

[magic cedar]

That's wrong. The right solution is:

• 187and 188 players get their resources back
• all 3 servers involved get rewards as if they scored #1 in ALBs and SLB . Why?

1. 187 because some put effort in the short unexpected incursions
2. 186 because they had to start late and the incursions were unxpected;
3. 200 because they worked twice.

• as for how to calculate the contribution to the meta xslb- who makes the mess pays for it

[misty moat]

This exact same thing happened to US server 710 (my server), two incursions ago. We were on bye, and got paired against 709 unexpectedly. We lost horribly. Not as bad as you, but still. It took much yelling and tickets submitted, but Scopely eventually reimbursed the lost rss with rss tokens. It is only right that they do so for you, seeing as they still have no idea how to implement features properly. This is why you don’t do incursion for all servers at once! Make this right Scopely! <@&509690795536941056>

[north meteor]

The morning crew in my alliance has decided that 8-hour shields need to last 10 hours.

[midnight pilot]

Hit 68s then more kills= more chests= more chances. But you do get some that are 15mins, 15hrs are a rare drop...

[prime geyser]

They have been rolling out reimbursements to 187 players but really slowly. Think they are hoping players will except the compensation chest and not complain. Anything to not help the lower servers. No money outside the USA and eu servers my guess

[north meteor]

I'm not involved, but I would think rolling back a whole day or more would cause more perceived injury than trying to fix the hour or so this lasted.

[proper field]

Shields during incursions when I found a whale to drain.

[muted flare]

Gold shields just went up on everyone on 709 and 711 during the incursion rather than just people affected by the earthquake/tsunami.

[sleek sparrow]

I'm all for calling out Scopely nonsense, but not sure how they can reasonably be expected to pinpoint who has and hasn't been impacted by a natural disaster

[rough belfry]

The "scoring rebalance" for incursions is a failure. Raiding is still the only way to score enough points. PVP ship damage needs to be scaled up by 100 times to maybe make a difference.

[azure tapir]

Hey Scopely you could've waited to put up a Golden shield until AFTER OUR INCURSION WAS OVER!

[muted flare]

Geoblocks of IPs. They usually just don’t put shields up for everyone. It’s clearly a screw up.

[frosty yarrow]

they didnt put shields up for everyone

[azure tapir]

Yeah I'm down here in the Gulf of Mexico, ain't no tsunami from Russia is gonna affect us W"T"H Scopely! Both [701] AND [703] received Golden pitty shields

[prime arrow]

I feel like the gold shields could have been applied more regionally, rather than all over, to allow folks to complete Incursions.

[vocal plover]

I think it’s terrible timing, but you are 100% correct. It’s a quick action to help everyone instead of trying to figure out where to put it.

[cosmic knoll]

theres only 1 reason for shields, if ppl come back after a natural disaster to an empty base, they have a higher chance of uninstalling ... its not about helping you, its about helping themselves

[muted flare]

I’m on the east coast. Nothing here either. I’m on the opposite side of the world from it.

[sleek sparrow]

It's a game and you're on here complaining that you're being mildly inconvenienced whilst others people are in genuine danger. Always amazes me the people who engage with Star Trek, but entirely miss the point.

[patent sluice]

@raw fiber 2 hrs left on icursion missing out on trillions of rss not mentiom scoring S M H

[vocal plover]

You gotta think about it this way instead of trying to figure out where everyone is my IP address. They just put on a shield for everyone to be safe rather than sorry. It’s a calculated customer service move and they had to do something quick. I can’t fault them for doing a good thing, even if it is terrible timing in the middle of incursions.

[azure tapir]

It is human nature to ignore what doesn't directly affect you. It's tragic yes but unless you live there or have family that lives there. You'll forget that the tsunami even happened here in a couple of days. Don't act so empathetic.

[sleek sparrow]

Yeah man empathy bad. No wonder the world is such a mess.

[hasty cape]

Why didn't they do this last night when the whole world knew watches and warnings were issued?

[muted flare]

Well intentioned or not they still screwed up the implementation. You are clearly just trolling.

[limber oriole]

This isnt about "empathy" this is about whats right. I live in AZ, I got a shield... why? Protect those in harms way... ABSOLUTELY 💯.
Everyone didn't need shields. There is incursion and other pvp events ongoing. They should have ended incursion last night when this was announced on the news almost 11 hours ago...

Just another epic Ineptly screwup

[sleek sparrow]

Do you call anyone who disagrees with you a troll? Do you honestly have so little faith in your own views you can't deal with the idea that people don't agree with you?

[muted flare]

Again you are just trolling. It’s a fact they put shields up on areas unaffected by the disaster which was not their intent.

[hasty cape]

I get it, I mean I went without power for 9 days after Helene and I got blown up and attacked because I couldn't shield and they were slow. But if your gonna do it, do it when it makes sense. Maybe?!

[sleek sparrow]

It's much easier to geolocate for an event impacting one region or country, this is across the coast of the world's biggest ocean. Ultimately it's a game and if you care so much about you complain when something happens to protect those in actual danger then maybe you are taking it way too seriously and you should take a break and engage with actual people.

[muted flare]

So why are playing this game when tragedies happen in the world everyday? Shouldn’t you be helping solve world hunger, helping the people of Gaza, or the countless other tragedies happening?

[hasty cape]

@limber oriole

Idk that they specifically know your in AZ and not Ca. They would also have to crunch a lot of data to try and cherry pick

Never the less, the way it was done is incompetent

[sleek sparrow]

The world exists outside of the United States, I know hard to fathom. Because they can geolocate in one country doesn't mean they can in all or that it would be viable to do so across the wide area impacted. Personally I'm glad those impacted have been thought about and honestly couldn't give much of a toss about a GAME.

[patent sluice]

The Heidi Bowl

[warm cape]

All for the gold shields but at the tail end of incursions is a bit tough.. rip on the come back..

[neon atlas]

I'm on the west coast. Zero damage, barely any impact. This was not needed

[cloud dew]

This was my last Incursion experience.

[void sequoia]

Meanwhile we have Japanese players that were impacted and didn't get the peace shield. Oh they just had to log out and back in for it to take effect.

[gentle shale]

I may be wrong (and will be ready for correction), but the use of mobile devices and VPNs may make it harder to geolocate people when bad things happen IRL than might be assumed. I might have cell phone that is normally used in IA but don’t know if it would automatically pick up that I was now in area where I might get hit by tsunami or other disaster. VPNs allow you to change your IP address, so if you live in Los Angeles & connect to VPN in Chicago it would likewise be difficult to pinpoint.

[sleek sparrow]

Add to that VPNs will be used as a necessity in a number of the impacted countries. But some guy on the West Coast of the US has been mildly inconvenienced so they should be the focus...

[azure tapir]

They did this last time too when Cali was on fire....yet again....giving pretty much half of the country a golden peace shield the only time they really focused on IP to hand out shields was when the Hill country in Texas had the flood. Then only a third of our server got shields

[gentle shale]

For those criticizing Scopely for giving them a personal gold shield because they don’t live where they could be impacted, I have a question: do you know where all of your alliance members live? To expand, do you know where all the players on your server live? To expand further, do you know where all the players on the other server in terms of Incursions live? If the answer is no … stop complaining about universal gold shields.

If Scopely tried to cherry pick who got shields based on where players live there’d be complaints about how that impacted Incursions as well.

They did what they thought was the right decision as quickly as possible. In this case they decided the needs of the few outweighed the game of the many.

Scopely screws up but there are times it feels like nothing they do can satisfy people.

[north meteor]

The funny thing is, by the time the shields went up, the waves had arrived and the west coast already knew it wasn't a big deal anymore.

[sleek sparrow]

And when there have been incidents in one part of the UK they gave shields to the whole country, same happened in France and Italy in the past. It's happened to loads of countries where everyone got shields, but only one area was impacted. Only people from one country seem to have ever had an issue with it....

[azure tapir]

France and Italy are the size of my hand though, it makes sense to give them a whole country of shields, lol argument invalid and the tsunami didn't even scratch the west Coast last night. Hawaii maybe a bit but still.

[sleek sparrow]

US geography and exceptionalism strikes again, you aren't actually as special as you're all told you are. It's surely time to Make America Educated Again. Maybe spend less time worrying about a game and pick up a book.

[hazy temple]

So most of the things I wanted have been removed from the tourney store?? Why

[tepid bramble]

I can’t agree more. And I am not someone know for saying is doing anything right, but this was the absolute best decision I’ve seen them make.

Now the second best (and has NO CHANCE in heck with these misers) to smooth it over and gain some seriously cred back would be to award win status and rewards for all parties regardless. And to reset 186&187. (That was a totally unforced and undeserved disaster)

[high ocean]

Words can't express the hatred I feel towards Scamly. They are so pathetic they can't even run a simple browser game properly, not to mention I can't even collect rewards from events as the game keeps freezing. Hoping horrible things happen to whoever is in charge of this utter stupidity.

[azure tapir]

So you're one of those kinds of folks. Bro I spend my time worrying about how to feed my family each day in this economy, as far as I'm concerned the world could burn for all I care 😂 I play this game instead of sitting on the couch and watching TV after working. You yourself sound privileged worrying about everything happening outside of your own home

[finite mural]

Enough.

[high ocean]

Looooooooool

[fast anvil]

fine ill give it to scopely. thank you for updating the alliance tournaments. and before yall start yapping about how it doesnt benefit u. not everyone has a maxed chapel or pelia, pretty sure 90% of the server doesnt even have a maxed war room. the new FTs for armadas are also rlly good.

[rough belfry]

Uhm...how is this Grandmaster only? There's another pull for that artifact. Also, how many shards or is it automax?

[finite mural]

Grandmaster version is unlimited pulls

[waxen tinsel]

That one might not be limited to Master league

[azure spruce]

Do we have a list of GM AT events for the next five days?
Knowing what to spend and when is the crux of ATs...

[fast anvil]

is the new stuff only for grandmaster AT?

[finite mural]

everything is perm, except the whip and kir'shara grandmaster

[rough belfry]

But how many shards? Or is it a full level? Or what exactly am I getting with that pull?

[lime hearth]

If its a full level everyone is gonna try and end up in GM🤣 way too cheap. Has to be a limited amount of parts per pull?

[viscid gorge]

15 per pull for me

[tepid bramble]

Can we PLEASE get the AT store UI fixed so I can actually scroll through it. 🤦‍♂️

[rough belfry]

It is the same price as the normal pull which is 15 shards...

[viscid gorge]

Yep. So i guess its just extra pulls then

[rough belfry]

For whatever reason, the entire tournament UI is tied to the task refresh. The task screen should be siloed to be its own thing so that it doesn't affect the shop. But Scopely

[rich elm]

15 shards per pull, appears unlimited pulls

[robust tartan]

Yeah, I do that too, but my point is how we barely get any for all that work, and sigma speedups as a whole are very few compared to the other ones.

[gritty scaffold]

Is this the place we go to criticize Scopely for it's latest in a long, long line of inexplicable decisions? Throwing a peace shield up after a natutal disaster, that's unddestandable. Throwing it up in the middle of a game-wide PvP event then shutting the event down early and declaring whoever happens to be ahead at that arbitrary moment is the kind of head-scratchingly bad decision you dont even see in government. Declare the incursion a draw, award everyone the rewards for winning and avoid angering half your customers. And before you wave the "but disaster victims" flag, consider this... we had a guy on oyr server who had to be rushed to the hospital. Not his fault. Where's his gold shield?

[tepid bramble]

Tried for McCoy hypo, this was what I got…which I already have. So yeah, not amused.

[rough belfry]

Open a ticket. They are generally pretty good about these refunds. Happened to me a while back

[north meteor]

The first level of Kirshara is 90% of the benefit....I wouldn't blow all your coin on that since there are other new things to get.

[tepid bramble]

Nope. That would mean giving Scoply more of my time and effort.
This, this is just more of the same. I am not mad at this one, just feeling like I am dealing with Gomer Pyle at this point.

[thin stump]

I'm having an ingame issue and unable to find an option on Scopely's webpage to select. How do I get in contact with support to get my issue resolved?

[fierce heron]

Got a compensation chest for the Flashpoint problems and it was one 1hr shield?

[hard yarrow]

Same. Im very confused

[hollow plover]

i feel the compensation 🥰

[paper flare]

Yeah, redeemed it in game. 1 hour peace shield. No quests completed. What are you thinking Scopely?

[rough niche]

..why do i need to know the number of nornal diodes?

Im now on ops 63. Treasury 62 and in need of rare diodes.

[strange chasm]

1 hr peace shield was all i had?

[north meteor]

This is one of those times reading the announcements helps.

Positive feedback because scopely did a great thing:

• I love the addition of new rewards for Alliance Tournaments
• I LOVE the heroic mats spend for previous generations in principle and in it’s connection with tournaments. PLEASE MAKE THIS THE STANDARD MOVING FORWARD (or even once every three months if not every tournament).

Others can hate on me for being positive in official but I genuinely think this is great for the majority of players.

[azure spruce]

I'd be more optimistic if they'd just come out and tell us if the 24-hour spend events for the rest of the tournament are going to be the same (G3+ mats) or different (upgrading FCs, restoring artifacts, upgrading specialty ships/buildings, etc.).

[tidal notch]

I won't hate you for being positve! I'm also glad they added rewards and changes.

[tidal notch]

Yup. Working on chapter 3 next.

They are allowed a holiday I agree, but hope they are back now, not just about to go

Having trouble reaching monthly quota? Don't worry there is still 1 day left, where you can sell an other Pass.

[lethal sedge]

<@&509690795536941056> As we have another run of the alliance tournament, I would like to repeat my feedback about the omega particles. I hate, hate, **HATE **the fact that they come in pulls of 136. After 17 pulls, which you need to buy both levels of the associated prime, you will be left with 62 omega particles that will never go away and can't be used for anything else. Please change it to 150 particles per pull so that there's none left once you have both levels.

[devout pivot]

I enjoyed the meta for incursion. Wonderful model. Everyone has a shot at getting something. Money isn’t the most important thing. It’s a nice twist

[coarse sundial]

out of inersted wears the 6th fc seat pack gone from sotre was planning to buy that next week?

[prime salmon]

The Evis rift restrictions could be reworked. I am OPS 60, my Evis has over 900 warp to reach lvl 61 systems (Henzyyr for example). I can open a rift but I can't use it myself cause I am not G6. Not even with a ship that can fly there (G5 epic).

[lethal sedge]

At least for our bracket I'm not so sure if I would sign that. Number 1 is a big spender, number two is a hardcore hoarder. 3 & 5 are not from our server, 4 is 50/50 hoarder/spender:

[clever whale]

I will say my first iteration of the spend meta was my favorite. Having both the individual SMS and SLBs, the meta SMS, and the meta SLB just provided a ton of oppritunities for us to score regardless of how much of a hoarder (ME!) or spender we were. Probably the best spend event run I've ever seen.

[devout pivot]

I’m 1st. And I never spent on this event. I wrote this meta off actually. Hoped PvP would help. And it did. I never even placed in the spend part😂 I’m not a free player by any means but I haven’t spent squat this year

[coarse sundial]

can we fix ghsot amards please

[sour dew]

@raw fiber @tidal notch this Arc, and Incursions on a Tuesday? It seems like Scopley and Hackers have decided to open the Recipe Book for Sabotage on The Star Trek and Paramount Brands. While the Scopley and Digit family party it up at Conventions are they actually aware of the disaster July has been for Star Trek Fleet Command? What's coming up in August. More Favoritism and Disappointment while partying at Cons and Conventions?

[stiff holly]

Duh. Hello a lot of us was in our TC shielded or in systems above 20+. So explain to us about shield management mate and your logic to yr comments

[shadow karma]

This is just the end of a long month of Scopely majorly dropping the ball and tying it up in a bow. Surely every department on this game has to have a real and proper retrospective review, top-to-bottom at minimum, including comms. Let’s not forget to make those players on this person’s server whole, and admit to the HUGE mess up (more than the cookie cutter announcement)

For real, what is going on over there at Scopely? I’ll spare you comms managers the tag @‘s

[clever whale]

The fact that this is the second time in 3 months this has happened to a server is unacceptable <@&509690795536941056> ... and the fact that they got so little in compensation compared to what 710 got when it happened to us is a big red flag!

Did we only get the good comp because Rev plays on our server? If thats the case... y'all are really screwing the pooch!

[slim shoal]

How long did it take for everyone on your server to get the resources they lost back? Someone above mentioned that Scopely is (slowly) reimbursing lost resources to members of server 187. I’d imagine that will take a while to get to everyone, but if they did it for your server and have started doing it for 187, sounds like eventually everyone will be made whole.

[clever whale]

Looking at our discord logs people got theirs within about 16 hours. Now we didn't get a stop put to our incursions, and we also got a chest that was basically 1st place rewards for every SMS and SLB + winning the incurison in terms of loot, so we got a pretty solid chest as well. If you are on one of these servers, you should 100% demand better compensation.

[cursive gale]

So I think the x20 points for incursions was a good stab, but looking at the top damage on my server, I really think x200 maybe even 300 would be better. Reasoning is that would actually make the largest players have to think twice about pulling their largest ships out for helping defend a raid or trying to stop a raid when other large players are there. It would feed into pay to win, but I feel that's better than which server is the luckier server. That or change up the scoring mechanics where lower ops give better points per hull destroyed. So maybe an Ops 60 gets 500x while the 70s only get 200x. The idea being to make PvP at all ops better point wise and to try and balance against raids so there is actually more skill involved to win

[rich elm]

was this claim linked to something else ? I swear I claimed a few of them, now I have additional credits to claim and I do not see it anymore, but I do see the whip - i guess i did claim 5 (as I have 75 now)

[fleet moss]

[spring lynx]

I need part-time support from someone who has PC, no tech required.

[wicked olive]

you are right. <@&509690795536941056> get that done for the players.

[sonic stone]

The thing that gets me the most is that we are still getting the same bugs for months. @tidal notch how hard is it to correct them? Having to restart multiple times a day, especially when in wave defence etc, is plain ridiculous. Game freezing, getting stuck on the "preparing" page and the list goes on. Is it not time that your devs said 'No new content next month, let's just fix what is wrong'? A lot of people pay a ton of money to play at the level they are, don't they (and the rest of us) deserve the common decency of a stable platform?

[spark rain]

'# Solidarity with Server 187 – The Incursion Error Cannot Be Ignored

If you – Scopely and everyone involved – truly care about your players and understand what happened, then show it. Especially when it comes to something as serious as a wrong server assignment during an Incursion event.

How about some proper communication and real effort to support the players on Server 187, who were suddenly and unfairly invaded due to your mistake?

Be better. Be proactive. Identify what was lost, who was affected, and compensate them fairly.
These players would not have been raided across territory and over 20 systems if this error had not occurred.

Context matters:

On APAC servers, Incursions begin at:
– 03:00 AM in New Zealand
– 01:00 AM in Eastern Australia
– 12:00 AM in Japan/Korea
– 11:00 PM in Western Australia/Singapore

If you can schedule Arenas and Territory Capture around these time zones, then you can do the same for Incursions.
Otherwise, it’s not a global event – it’s an ongoing disadvantage for an entire region.

That copy-paste response that was first sent out? At best, it was patronizing. At worst, it showed that nobody cared.
(It has since been deleted – the tone was something like: “Sorry you got raided… we understand… here’s a compensation chest…”)

The reality:

Server 201 hit over 4 quadrillion points in one hour.
People on 187 were asleep – it was the middle of the night.
Even the restart of the Incursion between 188 and 201 was poorly timed.
And the compensation chest for those who lost billions in resources? Frankly, a joke.

⸻

If you want players to trust this game – and the team behind it –
then do better. Own your mistakes, fix them, and show us you care.

We stand in full solidarity with Server 187.
Mistakes happen. But accountability must follow.

🖖

[open oriole]

I personally think its completely unacceptable we play the game that has way to many bugs and things like the inventory (would really love if the mountains of dead items were atleast removed) play it anyways and they dont even have the decency to apologise and immediately say "hey we did wrong were setting the servers back."
Additionaly you get a good amount of the event rewards without participating or redoing them and give the servers 187 and 188 a big additional compensation that is actually worth something im sorry i love this game like we all do but it's just not getting the amount of big fixes it need This is not anything against implemented QOL features but if your players accept you with all your bugs please also think about what you can really do for players.
Im sorry if my English isn't understandable but i hope you understand.
Please Respect us like we Respect you,
Please Accept us like we
Accept you,
And lastly please think about how you can really make it up to the players affected.
In Respect

[urban verge]

I made a chart to explain PVP balance. With the vengeance here its even more true. Please do something for explorers at least at end game its pretty sad.

[native adder]

Do you actually know how Incursions work...?

[native adder]

With the sole excpetion of Arenas, Scopely doesn't give a hoot about timezones. They used to correct the split event resets during daylight savings but suddenly stopped a few years ago and flatly ignore requests for the decency of an explanation, despite it leading to non-completion of events. Come to think of it, that's probably by design in the hopes we'll pay for battlepass points etc. I don't know why we continue to kid ourselves they give a flying fig about us, their customers.

[nocturne basalt]

This is just the latest failure on scopely. This fail is bad for sure but you have also given an arc that no one pretty much could complete and changed things (like spend events) that no one asked to be changed! I am angry about all these issues because the driving force behind scopely rushing this cr@p out is money... plain and simple! I understand money has to be made and I am a spender but this takes it too far!

[waxen tinsel]

Amen to all of this.

If Scopely's logs allow them to tell us which BP events we didn't complete, and whether or not we got rewards from events, or received the items we say we didn't... then they also know how much rss everybody on 187 had before the start.

It should be possible to replace any rss lost by those players. Basic resources have limited cash value so it wouldn't break the game economy one bit.

They can even let 201 keep the 4 Qd resources they spent time & effort to raid because it's all just pixels anyway.

A mistake was made, correct it. Don't sweep it under the rug and pretend it can't be fixed. We all know better.

personally I didn't need to 7 day peace shield but as there is many times I and many of the people play this game feel slightly irked with comp chests I will enjoy this 7 day shield that I got for free and probably just take a vacation from the game and get back to reality. Feel free y'all to stay and complain about things that really we should be saying hey least we got given a safety net after all you can always choose to pop it if you dont want it!!!!!

So once again I'd like to implore the devs to reconsider the costs of epic P1ATAs and Khan Quests. With the daily drip, and the max of 5k planetary charts, this is absolutely insane. The mission will cycle well before I could acquire another 1600 charts.

[frosty yarrow]

nvm, read the announcement more carefully 😄

[finite mural]

It was a comp chest to complete the mission, nothing more. The first one was empty but it confused players, they put the shield in the second one to avoid the confusion this time.

[vocal tinsel]

Maybe but just maybe it is an enormously bad idea to put a 1 day shield in it instead of something useful. Players are already in a bad mood and you are gaslighting with really unnecessary things.

[finite mural]

That word doesn't mean what you think it means.

[vocal tinsel]

Please explain

[prime arrow]

While event stores are nice, I have to say, ANOTHER extra battlepass? When players are telling you that your’e throwing too many pay-to-play events? Fascinating choice, that.

[gritty scaffold]

Just wanted to let the devs know that there will be a high tide on the west coast today. Will they be refreshing the 7-day shields, or is that only for interrupting ongoing monthly events?

[tepid bramble]

Gaslighting in the situation you’re appearing to be annoyed with is not the term.

Gaslighting is when it’s raining (bugs, overtuned hostiles, bs weighted RNG, connectivity issues) and Scoply tells you that it’s actually sunny (they will fix said bugs, you’re just not strong enough yet, (buy more packs) Our RNG is fine, and the connectivity is on your end.). These are examples of Scoply gaslighting us.

The issue you brought up is more in line with them being either obtuse or really bad at reading the room.

Gaslighting = intentional action.
This is just Scoply being Scoply.

(Hope that helps)

[mossy kernel]

I believe you got a good portion of it right, but let me add some things that you forgot.

Expanding on your example, if there were bugs and scopely told you that theres no bugs, and its just you.

Gaslighting is an intentional action, but it also places blame on you for issues you could not do anything to change/stop.

[vocal tinsel]

Thanks for clarifying. On the other side I was referring to the behaviour of the CM\Mods who show no empathy and use memes/jokes. That's intentional to me and in the general context I would argue "gaslighting" too.

[fallen wasp]

The "bonus refinery" needs to be updated. Regular refinery pays out significantly better on it's regular pulls

[tepid bramble]

Oh yeah, agree. But that isn’t necessarily “gaslighting” as much as tone deaf.
They don’t play, they are hired PR mouthpieces.
And they really don’t care.
It’s a job. And odds are you’re f2p. (Or close enough if their eyes). If we aren’t in the VIP forum, we really don’t cause more than a blip to them.

Judging from experience.

[summer fiber]

Why is the newest pass and its associated events 1hr ahead of all the other passes? Why can't you guys make it so that everything ends at the same time instead of some at one time and others at another? This is getting out of hand.

[celest aspen]

@matzechekka not to mention that if you complete the daily event for that new pass, you don't get any credits for it

With all these shiny new "passes" being released, Scopely might as well just slap a big pay wall on the whole game and take it off Google Play and the Apple Store. There's profit, there's greed, and then there's Scopely.

[somber cloak]

To be able to scroll the alliance tournament store without it flipping back to the top of the screen every few seconds would be great!! Pretty dam annoying & not new!!!

the last battlepass was so bug ridden there better be an apology and a FAT compensation chest on its way.

[waxen tinsel]

My issue has mostly been that they're canceling because ship isn't joining them... don't look away when you click start. Happened at least 10 times to me this morning

[rigid spruce]

You don’t have millions in spare cash? Why are you playing? Point well made - all these things, battle passes at £99.99 is a joke when I can spend that on a complete pc or console game that works without all the bugs and still have spare change

[muted shuttle]

Are you both are some sort of double act now. Try stomping on the player base a bit more, y’all doing a great job at the minute.

[wooden spire]

The game has been ruined. Few are happy. Scopely has made 10s of millions with obviously little expenditure judging by the poor coding and slow servers.

So, why not make everything free for the last year or so of the game, whatever short lifespan it has left.

The cost of the subpar servers must be peanuts compared to the millions raked in. Let everyone have a last blast as an apology for years of embarrassing failure and non-delivery.

[normal sail]

whats the difference between theese two?

[finite mural]

grandmaster one has unlimited pulls

[high ocean]

@waxen tinsel absolutely, and I always check back about 3 min before it starts to make sure the ship joined, which it did. The battle even started, then my ship just flew around for 20 seconds and the armada cancelled. Typical, useless, pathetic Scamly.

Theres a daily hostile limit of 2000 or something. Once you hit that hostile limit, no more rewards or exp are awarded. Slow mode is active btw in this chat, you can only type once every 5 minutes.

[slim pumice]

In Star Trek Fleet command scopely we have enemy alliances that are creating alternate games to spy on players in game. If at all possible it would be nice if you could remove these players alternate games in which they have games from level one to five and it creates serious lag in the game because of so many alternates. I will post to you the names of these alternates that people create, it is becoming quite annoying because it causes a lot of lag in the game. The one that was next to my base is called phisch1. Like I said you have to keep in the eye on these people because they're creating too many alternates just to spy on people in the game but it is creating lag on the whole server with so many alternates, please remove all these alternates because they never use them except to log on and spy on people.

[sage oar]

Alternate games, or alternate accounts? I dont think its against the rules to make another account. Also, spy how? You can just click on a system and view inside it, i fail to see how making an extra account and simply placing the base next to your base, would help in any way with spying?

Thanks for your work on that loop @torn saffron

[warped vault]

I'm an Ops 60. And with the recent events pushing to spend ship parts, I had to use the Cube for some of the scoring. Since it used commons at this tier, that meant being able to use Lat to get the needed RSS to level up the parts. What I didnt know however. Is that after doing this. It now REQUIRES Sigma RSS to REPAIR DAMAGE. Which I dont have a source to get other than shelling out large amounts of Lat to FIX the SHIP NOW. There should be some kinda Prompt or mention that this will happen if you upgrade those parts or shut off the option entirely!

[fast anvil]

exchange for the loyalty chests. at the higher reps U get sigma in your loyalty chests. also in the first place why would you upgrade to sigma parts when you aren't 61 yet😅

[warped vault]

Loyalty Chest at Ops 60 do not give Sigma anything. Again, read the why upgraded..

[glossy raven]

The 60 level missions will payout enough sigma to cover your repairs and build up a nice storage.

[silk charm]

faction loyalty chests at & past 17b rep do. with that said, I see your point on the yikes of the repair costs & you're certainly not the first one to bring it up

[slow swift]

been allot of server connection issues also lag and glitches through out today,

[vocal tinsel]

Too much lag to collect the daily chests... This game is so done

[young yacht]

And yet another “normal” morning. Endless lagging. And the fun factor drops to zero. Annoyed by old and new bugs, terrible arena balancing, and alliance tournament tasks that keep reappearing even after being deselected. Deselected tasks that require extra tokens, dear Scoplians, should remain deselected for me, otherwise it's the stupidest concept ever.
If you don't finally get a handle on this, I won't continue playing a game that causes me frustration instead of fun!!! This is an increasingly widespread sentiment among players, and far too many have already left. Your monetization always works perfectly, but what we get in return is not worth the money. 🤮 👎

[sterile stream]

What is this 💩 OPS 51 have to fight against OPS 64 in Cube Thursday Distinction Ectinction - SLB ...that's bull💩

[stray forum]

This game is amazing

[young yacht]

The concept is certainly great. The implementation leaves much to be desired.

[fast anvil]

1.what CD said, faction loyalty chests gives sigma. all the g6 faction loyalty chests gives sigma, thats my bad, forgot theres another loyalty chest in the gifts tab. also another way to get sigma is to scrap rev at t10 lvl 46
2. i dont think that you should feel the need to do every event. if u do want to do it i think you're better off building a new g5 unc or one that u might not have and tier it to spend parts. as long as you're g5 theres no reason to touch anything that says '6*' since most likely they will be using sigma or smt that a g5 player might not have 🤷‍♂️

[broken shale]

The GS31 did the same thing to me. At ops 56. Need sigma dilithium to repair. And components need 6* mats.

[fluid mist]

not that I've ever heard and usally it happens because someone flagged you for comments that went against tos though I have seen others get flagged but because they spend huge amounts of money they never seem to get chat banned so hard to say definitely

[lone crest]

Ok still wish there was an appeal process because these rats are weaponizing their report buttons...

[vivid nebula]

Start spending loads, that seems to buy immunity from reporting

[waxen patio]

sometimes customer support can revoke a chat ban if it wasn't something ban worthy

[gentle shale]

Weaponizing report buttons? Whuh? I’ve never seen people in GC poke one another’s buttons on hot topics to see who will get most upset first & type something the other person can report them for.

Nope. Never. No way.

[pseudo coral]

@tidal notch [Manmoor System S:2026485422] polygons have disappeared in the system 70

I second this report, same for 108 server, from more than a week now

[pseudo coral]

@meager hollow I'm in this server too

[lone crest]

The problem is there no appeal process...

[gentle shale]

Not saying there should be appeal process … highlighting why one is needed. My server has a few folks who constantly troll each other just to get someone to pop. They’ll say something about the other that walks just to “the line” & if they think response is “over the line” will crow in GC about having grabbed screenshot & reported them. Usually it’s just the other person redefining “the line” & poking back.

For me some of what goes back & forth is crude and/or childish it rarely rises to something worthy of ban or mute. Example is the phrase “I’m going to kill you” when it’s obviously in context of game but the response is “oh! You’re threatening me IRL harm so I’m reporting you”.

[lone crest]

Exactly that's why I think I should I least be told by scopely why I got muted so I defend what I posted as not being worthy of getting muted...can't stand rats haha...

[gentle shale]

@vale wasp @finite mural … what would you recommend be done in this type of scenario. I know mods & CMs are 🤹‍♀️ all day and mute appeal process might not be in your bailiwick or bandwidth. Would this be something to go through Support? If yes, suggestions on how to Tribbleshoot?

I assume a key point is screenshots as needed to provide any context as to why mute is unwarranted.

[lone crest]

Well first of all I don't think policing GC is necessary it's all just words and second to mute or ban anyone without giving them a chance to explain is really unfair and the wrong process entirely because it just rewards those that unreasonably report others and those that weaponize that report button just like the karen that called the cops on the black bird watcher...

[gentle shale]

Agree GC doesn’t need policing, just where I’ve seen the trolling (no visibility to what happens in PM). I’m just asking two mods how an appeal might be made if dealing with troll/Karen who has reported you that you can get unmuted.

Scopely has TOS & guidelines on what’s in/out of bounds. If you’re not out of bounds, you should have your voice back.

[lone crest]

Oh nice thank you so the mods here in discord moderate the in game chat too...?

[finite mural]

You can open a support ticket about, email option will probably be the best bet.

[fast anvil]

tbh the other way is the whole alliance reports your message even if you didnt say anything offensive

[peak sonnet]

Game is amazing but every time when i get back online iam losing 10B of rss iam in shield and done no updates or what so ever where can i out the complaints on it?

[gentle shale]

they don’t moderate in game chat but if anyone knows the channels it will be them.

The reply (if you missed) is to open a support ticket using the e-mail option.

So apparently there is an appeals process that just isn’t broadly known.

[lone crest]

Ok thank you for asking them🍻

[lone crest]

Man I hate rats🤬

[molten shell]

So I guess shields have been changed. Used to be that you actually had to ATTACK for your shield to drop, not just hit the attack button.

[slender monolith]

Is that bug back?

[molten iris]

yes and i sent in a ticket - they said i hadn’t been and yet i couldn’t say a thing even in my own ac

[blissful bluff]

I'm level 55 and I don't understand one thing. Why can a Corvus level 35 500M kill several times more (now I have 5x and 80% hull health) than a Gorn Evisceraptor level 40 123M, which cannot be improved, is an ops lock? Corvus doesn't have a good crew, moreover, I have a crew on the Evisceraptor with which I kill the most Gorns. Another ship that I won't take out of the dock, it's not worth using. I ignore the Borg Cube, a weak beam, which is good only on a fkr ship level 52, but I use it on ships where I want to increase xp and mainly attack levels 58 and higher and there the beam is useless to me.

[woeful nymph]

Locking Epic Transogen behind a ship is a very poor decision. You are alienating your players yet again. It should be pay to mine faster, not pay to access it or just wait 100 days.

Also, locking mining quality of life updates behind the new ship is also very bad form.

[dire geyser]

where can i see the ship stats and unlocks?

[grand bison]

I watched the video für the new mining ship...Yes we all knew it was coming. But all i can see is, we can finish ships faster and finish artifacts faster? Whats the actuall shiny thing, that will make me buy the new ship? Don't see anything usefull. I'm quite far with artifacts and i don't have the G6 mats to max out my specialty ships any faster xD

[lethal bridge]

<@&509690795536941056> @rigid vapor you haven’t learned anything after that arc… you do the same like the arcs before … nothing has changed. 1 one arc frustration over frustration and in the next arc you bring a new ship with again a new grind loop

[south depot]

It seems like it will speed up a lot of loops though, like mining dailies, leveling up specialty ships and artifacts. It's a bummer that epic transogen is locked behind it, but it seems like you need to unlock the ship anyway to use the extra refines anyway, like with a lot of specialty ships.
Hopefully it won't take 100 days to unlock (it will)

[muted shuttle]

Oh look a new ship to throw on the fire…………🙄

[timber root]

Serene Squall feedback: not buying it, not worth it.

That entire arc is getting less and less interesting.

[viscid gorge]

On top of everything lese, the name of the ship is just... stupid.

[fallen wasp]

More loops. More Grinds. New ships. I swear Scopely will never understand how they overburden players because they keep dumping on QUANTITY

[rose nacelle]

yay. another one trick pony ship, just to be forgotten next month.

[storm oracle]

I love scopeley, how they listening to their Players and bringing a new Mining Ship, that's what all wanted!

[south depot]

@viscid gorge at least it is a ship from canon

[tough viper]

Hi <@&509690795536941056> Is there a reason since the last updates that the iOS version of the App has bloated its way up to 9.6Gb? Even the Mac OS Client is only 1.16Gb in size?

[hushed ferry]

A miner that gonna cost 99.99 huh? Smh

[unique karma]

As if we needed ANOTHER ship to grind for or buy...COME ON!

[keen loom]

So wait. You’re adding a new ship no one cares about, for a loop no one cared about, in hopes of what? Even less people caring? So much for listening to feedback. <@&509690795536941056>

The greed makes me sick.

[copper pecan]

This new ship is a miss.

1. Activated Ability to Autogrind, seriously? One of the biggest issues with Transogen mining for me has been how fiddly mining Transogen is. In G5 and Below, its having to reset ships every 41 minutes, and Picard Maneuver hostiles so they dont get blown up. With my Selkies, its setup every 20 minutes, and Picard Maneuver to avoid getting blown up. If I dont pop my active ability, I can expect more of the same with this ship.

2. You mentioned that you Grade locked Suliban loot to 'Protect us from excessive grinding', but it cements the fact that this ship is way less useful to G5/G6 players for a very long time, unless we shell out $400-500 Dollars.

3. Nothing in that research improves our performance against the Flashpoint hostiles.... when moving into a new ops range, those are one of the biggest hurdles to climb, why is this not being addressed now? How many months until it is, if at all?

[surreal otter]

It's a COMBAT miner. Jeez

[acoustic depot]

<@&509690795536941056> please advise scopley that with them bringing put so many specialty ships that alot of people dont have enogh docks to use what they need to make the ge easier and quicker to play they need more dry docks

I have 8 dry docks 3 miners 1 for each martial disco to quickly summon home if needed 1 armada ship 1 red killing ship amd 1 pvp ship so how can I use buff ships a new miner a afk farming ship this here is just a example we need more dry docks they dont have to be part of the stations deff3nce but aomwthing needs to be done

[keen loom]

Next month for the low low cost of $500. You know it. I know it. Scopley knows it.

Complete lack of quality content, and imagination consistent with the Star Trek universe.

[steady plover]

TONE DEAF scopley hits the ground running again.
screw the special ship rubbish.

[surreal otter]

And they have the nerve to call this fleet command...

[jaunty hinge]

create issues so they can sell you solutions, well heres a new ship to bandaid lots of issues they made so they can sell it

[vast nest]

Just remember the other random ship they added from SNW, the Mantis. Expect Serene Squall to go the same way of the Mantis

[golden violet]

[bronze hamlet]

How about spending 99.99 for an upgrade on a ship and not getting anything and losing 100.00 because the the creators of this game aren’t very good

[muted shuttle]

Well, at least the new ship got the feedback channel moving again.

[fluid mist]

I can see another month of losing customers this Flashpoint 6 month arc series is gonna devastate your players and I'm not sure the whales are gonna be able to keep this game a float that long cause the krill/ftp gonna peace the heck out

[jaunty hinge]

just another ship f2p will wait 3 months to get and another 3 months before its usable, but will still never be used

[keen loom]

Is the new ship named Rubbish? Par for the course. Can’t be bothered to watch another Bek video. Ever. Don’t need to be sold a bunch of “it’s awesome” “it’s amazing.” Reminds me of “I’d buy that for a dollar” from Robocop. If you know, you know.

[olive nacelle]

Yup, I’m ops 68. I bought reliant and have never missed a pull or upgrade on it…..it’s tier 6 and still completely useless for my lv, and will continue to be for at least another 3/4 months.

[vestal meteor]

We tell you we are fed up of new loops and new ships. Grinding.

“We are releasing another new ship”

Yeah wonder why we don’t as a community we don’t feel listened to. No point doing feedback surveys, scopely doesn’t care. 🎶 it’s all about the money 🎶

[viral briar]

@tidal notch

[tiny axle]

"Oh, look at us with our amazing new ship that can mine in transogen space! But shh, we won't mention that it's just a recycled version of the North Star with its automated defence. As a bonus, we'll ensure that upgrading and tiering it is a total nightmare for you. And of course, we'll slap on a ridiculous price tag because why not?" Scopely just doesn't understand, does it? Honestly, they seem to be in denial, because if they actually opened their eyes, they might realize they're hated by mostly everyone.

[brazen oracle]

So I'll start by saying that the 90 day wait for f2p content is much better than not being able to get content at all. I like that it's consistent.

The issue is that the new content always follows the same pattern. The new Borg armadas are really hard, wait 90 days for the revenant. Elite solo waves are really hard, wait 90 days for the GS-31. Augment space is impossible, wait 90 days for the reliant. Transogen mining is really hard, wait 90 days for the squall.

There has to be a new way to add content that's not the same pattern of "artificially increase difficulty, sell ship with easy button". Because finding some other way to add new content that people are willing to pay for will stop making the f2p people so frustrated that they can't even engage with new stuff for 120 days (that's including the first arc). Despite what the owners of this game might think, nothing will kill it faster than driving away f2p players

[short spear]

I had an ideas for the last few days, basicaly on release of new arc when ship is released. Those ppl who complete the new missions or some doable event chain spanning few 2-3 days. get a free tier (the materials to tier up the ship) of the specialty ship. While that by itself ain't much, at least for me it a good faith gesture. What brought that though, is that today i unlocked GS-31 F2P, from the missions/events which i did on release gave me 2 free upgrades - which to be honest for the whole effort invested on release to do most of the events is, to be frank, a joke.

[mental cloud]

Why are we continuing this flop of an arc. It's already been recieved as a failure, let's keep it at that and maybe, I dunno, work on some QOL and bug fixes? Like the alliance help bug that's been in the game since release but never addressed? Oh wait, I forgot, scopely won't ever read this...

[short spear]

I would personally appreciate the ability to lower these 100 days to unlock a 200 shards specialty ship (Relativity, Reliant, GS-31 and etc) . Generally speaking newly released ship follows the same formula. 1 pull - x credits, 2 pulls - x2 credits. my idea would give you the ability to make 3 pulls for lets say - x(3 or 4) it the worry is that you'll unlock the ship too fast this way, by adding a 48hour cooldown on the third pull this will allow you get the ship in about 80 days instead of 100 with a bit or double the effort, if you u can manage it. This will allow the player to decide which is more important - the new ship or the new research/favours which likely will be released with the ship of which some of it might not require the ship.

[mental cloud]

The issue that arises from that is if players even see the need to engage in that content. This new content (while the artifacts are nice) just doesnt seem worth it at all to try and push for it. Why engage in struggle engaging in the content to get a ship to make it easier when its hardly worth the effort?

[dusty portal]

Please eliminate the need to ask for help when repairing, building or researching. It’s a pointless step, who doesn’t want helps from their alliance? No point in the extra button click for help.

[odd prawn]

This new a total miss. A one trick miner that will be entirely useless to G6 unless they spend a tonne extra on packs. Only for it probably to be made useless next month or the month after.

The transogen loop has been a total miss and does not work as suggested by the video that said it would be live, different on every server and magically change in front of our eyes.

Then we have the excessive grinds...again and on top of that a frankly insulting Q&A which said yeah we know the grinds are impossible without all the ships, officers, primes, FTs and CTs and we really don't care.

FTP keep the game alive because if it was just the spenders flying around then it would be getting real lonely out there in the stars.

You're in the process of forcing the FTP away and fleecing the spenders with bad content, bad packs and even worse speciality ships. At some point they're going to stop spending too. Like I have done.

#GamesAreMeantToBeFun

[dusty portal]

Btw, don’t override the gold shields that are active in the western hemisphere servers with the 8 hour maintenance shields Tuesday

[short spear]

Generally i agree with your sentiment and support it, however in my eyes, that doesn't negate the need to speed up the unlocking of the ship, despite that you might think that it's useless/not worth it, someone else might find a value in it - for example, in g5, for the most part, I often struggled with ship parts but had the materials, while the new artifact might not solve the problem, but they do seems to help, and to be frank it just might be that i rushed for some parts of the leveling process. Now the next arc we'll see how it will go, e.g. how they'll solve the issue which arised in pt1 with farming the canisters in G6, afaik it was way more hard for g6 players to farm them than in G5.

[graceful lotus]

QOL > adding new crap.

[restive cove]

Codenamed "SS Minnow"
The 3 hour tours during first arc made me feel like I was in a Gilligan's Island crossover

[waxen ermine]

Yet another example of spreading the disease and selling the cure

[fluid mist]

Can't wait to see Rev Deuce new video when ship drops and he tells us all the truth of it how much it's gonna not work right and also drops how many more people have left since falshpoint day1 considering we lost what we did when aug exiles and reliant came into play and low and behold were doing it again with diff hostiles and ship rofl

[muted shuttle]

Unfortunately, this is the truth.

[jaunty hinge]

Its the business model, Make problems to sell solutions

[vale wasp]

Because it's now allowed.

[dawn shore]

30% chance my asssss.

[plucky raptor]

so when is scopely introducing 35 arcs where they actualy fix bugs in stead of adding more and more.
simplest examples are ghost mada's ghost ships ghost helps ghost scorings and fix the lag for once or are they running on a z80 oh wait those are 40 years before they even where born let alone they know how to program

[fluid mist]

well Chester they may be employing the age old saying buy low sell high but in this case its use old systems or slow processors and sell packs everyday every week every month until they break down. Or at least that's how it feels to anyone that plays this game rofl

[plucky raptor]

same as any comments on their lack of interest on the game and lack of knowledge always results in a ban on their channels

[jade rose]

eh

[keen loom]

So rather than point out the obvious flaws and terrible content - let’s get someone on a video to address the concerns voiced for years (and ignored) by the players. A sub topic can be annual performance reviews for content design, and implementation team.

[muted shuttle]

Nice in Theory, but surely that will be just another feedback channel for them to ignore. They know what the issues are, but as long as the store is running, they don’t give two 💩’s what anyone says.

[undone hemlock]

If they had this kind of foresight the game would be in a better place. I would not rely on or trust those gold shields.

[trail zenith]

This company is so out of tune with its players. You guys are terrible at providing valuable content and updates. You continue to push new stuff that two people asked for and say "players wanted this". Fix everything that's terrible and complained about consistently before new money grabs.

[odd prawn]

Probably worth also pointing out that this ship is not the solution to the biggest issues in transogen arc part 1.

Invasions were shockingly bad

• Excessive ship grinding
• Refinery that didn't give a guaranteed payout of directives
• inconsistent and totally broken entity spawns

Because of bad RnG I didn't manage to finish a single one of the entity SMS during the invasions last month due to never getting enough directives because pull after pull I got 0 directives.

If it hadn't have been for you having to send out compensation chests I would have never even scored in one of them because my RnG was that bad.

So the ship solves a problem that realistically wasn't a problem just an irritation but does fix a pay wall that you have added.

So not we have pay to play events and pay to mine resources.

I can't even put into words how badly you guys are doing in 2025 without getting banned from discord.

Slow your roll with the aggressive cash grabs, reduce the complexity of arcs, stop adding these crazy high grind demands.

And please please please remember that #GamesAreMeantToBeFun

[pale garnet]

how is it, with generic pulls, an ops 56 can pull better than an ops 65, been monitering this for weeks now ,and always seems to be the case, just shows how much scopely and their chances system is ripping off players

[jaunty hinge]

generic pull of what?

[surreal otter]

Quite frankly the new ships should be available for f2p 1 month after release, not 3 months and change later. I get it, you're baking on the FOMO of it all but it's miserable to start that late on something from, at that point, 2 arcs prior, especially when most of the dang things are useless to the majority of the player base for ANOTHER 3+ months.

[somber orchid]

If it was f2p after one month people probably would wait instead of buying it so doesn’t make financial sense for them

[visual pike]

How about using the battle pass rewards as a way of getting the blue prints for the new miner like the Borg Cube. With the performance issues this game has had players shouldn’t have to

1. Pay €100 to have it from launch day.
2. Give f2p players a chance to get the ship during the arc it’s needed for.

I understand you need to make money, but why is it that STO can give players free ships etc by having players complete event campaigns but Scopely can’t. Everything in the Zen store is reasonably priced, and it has an exchange where you can buy things with energy credits earned through playing the game.

I still don’t have the Reliant and I haven’t got very far with Augment rep because there is so much to do. Dailies and events - I’m having to pick and choose what I do therefore I’m falling behind with a lot of things.

One of my alliance members nearly had a breakdown when they saw the amount of stuff needed to be done and almost quit the game.

Things need to change - and telling us you’ve listened to our feedback - who’s feedback the f2p players or the players who spend thousands?

[cunning tulip]

<@&509690795536941056> the Fleet Preset needs some work.
I moved heaven and earth to get it over the course of the three Flashpoints, and tbh was not worth the effort in its current state.
The problem is that you cannot selectively apply the individual saved ship configs, and you cannot apply a saved ship config if that ship cannot be loaded into its designated dock because a different ship is using it, and out on business.
Example, I saved fleet preset with my EntD in PvP config in second slot.
I’m now doing armadas with my Rev using second slot, and someone needs slapping, my EntD is right now in first slot, well, I can’t apply the fleet preset and PvP config my EntD because my Rev is out.
This is not great…. I’ve now abandoned using it as a result.
You can save selectively, fine, that’s nice, but without being to apply them selectively it becomes useful only when heading to arena, maybe incursions, and then you need to have your “normal” officer loadouts saved to officer preset slots and switch them all back one by one when needed.
This would be a great feature, and it’s “priced” as such, but in reality it’s very underwhelming.
Please ask for this to be improved.
🙏

[thick orchid]

Did anyone hear any news about new server in EU opening soon, think it is 410 next?

[urban verge]

I'm a mid G6 player and I've noticed a trend recently of encouraging everyone to move to G6 then making new specialty ships that start in G3. So for anyone in G6 to get any value out of the ship they'd either have to spend years upgrading it or spend a large sum of cash to make it usable to any kind of relevant content.

Is this going to be the trend just encourage everyone to go to g6 if you can then have ships that require you to work all the way up through g3 again. It feels like a G6 tax for actually advancing like you ask us to. If it takes over a year to get the ship useful for g6 there is a good chance g7 will be out by then potentially.

Its not enough that the ship costs 100$ or several months to get f2p but its also literal years to upgrade it to a useable state in some cases unless you drop a ton of money on it. It doesn't feel great 🙁

[glad mirage]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make TAL available somehow!!! It's is getting on my nerves that i have zero shards, and it's unfair other players have access to him.. why can't i?????

PLEASE EITHER fix him, delete him or MAKE HIM AVAILABLE!!!

[analog sparrow]

The whales are leaving too. I've never seen as many quits of long time players as in the last 3 months. And I'm also tired of this game.

[keen loom]

Scopley is the Walmart of mobile games.

[fluid mist]

oh i know they are and they'll continue to leave because when the ftp players stop playing whales have nothing to bash their shiny toys against and feed on they have to start hitting each other and that gets too expensive after awhile. I have seen many whales on my server not even crack bases unless the target has in the q's for rss and they've outright said it isn't worth the repair bill and time for them to open it up. Things are expensive for g6 and very high maxed out g6 so if they lose easy food what happens they stop spending get bored and quit. Making content like scopley is is going to guarantee this game dies faster than it should just because they're making this game a full time job for the ftp just to to participate or get ships. 3 months to unlock ship ftp is great but when whales are saying its $500-$1k to make a new ship worth it for them even a little that means my 3 month to get that ship will be 6m-1yr for me to get it effective so 1.5yrs almost to make it useful if I'm not spending (ops59) 1.5yrs on a single ship ain't worth my time I might still get it but thats because the completionist in me wants to have everything the game puts out but I can leave a ship at teir1 and not really engage in it at all so you make nothing off me

[bitter yarrow]

With the current version of the game needing Android 7.0, roughly how much longer will i be able to play the game on my Samsung S9 which is Android 10 and no longer getting Android version updates?

[sullen matrix]

That has proven to be wrong. We had a ship that was unlocked after 7 days of waiting and people still bought it like mad.

[devout pivot]

Seems Scopley messed up. By not limiting new epic systems to new ship only, anyone can get the epic transgeon.

[waxen patio]

is it just an open system?

[gaunt citrus]

Scopely is too incompetent to make the game running without endless lagging or will they bring some Thing in casshop for 999. 99 to correct IT?

[opaque blaze]

I suspect this new ship will have a pc of 1 out the box so raiders should be waiting at each node 🤣

[devout pivot]

Supposedly. You’ll have up to 20s to get them

[elder raft]

ok, just recently upgrade to level 4, I have 300K+ of 3* transogen capsules and I don’t have the warp range yet to get to any system where I’d see 4* transogen capules which appears to be the only capsule exchange option I currently have. Where’s my 3* transogen capsule exchange?

[jaunty hinge]

if you outgrew the 3* then its useless to you now

[keen loom]

Things that need focus before any more junk content pushes (including dumb new ships)

Outdated rewards for events including:

Mega Cube
Crucible of War

• all the other events that only reward g5 mats to g6 players

Antiquated game chat client
Antiquated alliance controls
Antiquated game graphics (TI-83) level

Scopleys internet connection
Scopleys pulse on the player base

Just to name a few.

[tawny pawn]

Well, thanks for confirming me not buying the 2nd one

[robust tartan]

Yeah, waiting 3 plus months for a f2p ship is ridiculous, and all for a system that's already much more work. Between the DTI, EE Augments, and the Trans systems, they are completely slow grinds, as we have to pay to get rep, which I never understood, given FKR factions get rep hitting reds.

It all is too much, really, especially for most people who have any kind of a rl outside of the game.

[robust tartan]

All good points which need to be updated. As a G6 player now, I don't have much motivation doing events that don't get me G6 rewards. Most of my G5 stuff is done, so I have very little use for G5 and G4. This is the only game I play that has connection issues. So much needs to be better. They've taken the fun out of the game with all the new loops, but the antiquated rewards make it even more unmotivating to play.

[karmic meadow]

So there's 2 days left of the wave defense battlepass but no bulwark going? Genius scopley...

[mossy kernel]

You know something? I would be giving constructive feedback here right now if scopely’s anonymous moderators didn’t keep muting me for BS that everyone else here does but apparently I just can’t.

I guess scopely’s ferengi-ism isn’t just stopping at STFC but also entering discord…

[humble hornet]

But can you refine it without the ship?

[devout pivot]

Probably not
They did that with the eviscerater. They won’t make that mistake again 😂

[somber orchid]

Still be muppets that block the nodes without it

[unreal saddle]

But you wont have refine option that is unlocked only with ship

[devout pivot]

Not happening. No other ship can survive long. But it’s possible to opc hunt without ship.

[silk charm]

suspicion is that it's like g6 RSS requiring a g6 ship & can't be opc hunted without it

https://tenor.com/view/squadbot-chief-garland-have-my-doubts-gif-21412691

[quartz comet]

Just watched the video on the new ship, while looks alright I disagree it's ability to complete your mining daily is a QOL or time saving improvement.

Reason being that Gas, Crystal and Ore are so integral to the game you NEED to mine it anyway. Simply completing the daily is meaningless as you'd need to go mine anyway.

[coarse sundial]

since feedback no loger works nor more feed back from meow everagain

[ebon jackal]

Mining is also part of events / battlepasses quite regularly, so unless players plan on skipping all of those, it won't really save much time at all.

If anything, it will be more of an irritant to those who are trying to lock one particular faction, since the mining dailies also give positive and negative faction points. Those players will then have to remember not to claim that particular daily, or it will interfere with their efforts.

[dreamy river]

This has become an obligation, a requirement, with compensation chests to ease the problems, you can do better scopely.

[limber oriole]

@tidal notch
So. Its up to scopley now, not blaming you.
After djz yesterday talking about "bugs" are any of these going to be addressed or should I just stop playing now and avoid the frustration.
Also. Charge more than 20 for a miner, you just told people to quit.

Im pretty sure I wont be participating next month in anything as they are selling a ship again, that no one wants, good for one thing... and everyone that skips it gets the shift again, like usual

You are losing players left and right, yet dont seem to care

[elder raft]

ok the answer above about outgrowing 3* transogen capsules is just not acceptable, especially since I can still collect them. and in fact can’t collect 4* since I can yet reach the systems where those probably spawn.

[ebon jackal]

I would also like to point this out. The Serene Squall is a pirate vessel, which would better have been utilized as some sort of Amalgam-esque ship.

However, there are SNW ships that more fit the description of the new one: the so-called "Delta-class attack" ships that Pike and Kirk bluffed with in the same season of the same series (SNW S1E10). They were really mining ships with automated remote controls, which would have been a good tie-in for the auto-defense capability. Also, since they were intended to be part of a mining and factory system, that could have been tied in as well, since that's literally what you planned.

[mortal scroll]

We have reached level 60, why do we have events that do not align with our levels and the hostiles? There are no 3 levels above 60. Just to get the 5000 point, we have to hit 320 hostiles. That's is pretty horrible. Although they have a great facility in Culver City, where they offer lots of great things to their employees and care about work-life balance, they certainly have no empathy or care about gamers game-life balance because they are only concern about $$$$.

[ebon jackal]

Now that I think of it, the ship that became the Reliant would better have fit the Oberth-class, not the same movie, but it's a more logical fit. When you just pick an established ship name and assign a random in-game task to it, it does not give off the "I like Trek" vibe.

[glacial spruce]

Will the peace shield that will be applied after the update Tuesday morning overwrite the rest of the 7 day that is currently active? It wouldn't be the first time that has happened.

[nova sierra]

The execs, and developers love to demand specifics. Your game currently su.cks isn't an acceptable answer to them, but should be. They don't pay users to provide ideas, they charge to suffer their pyramid scheme of content. The basics are not even good. Game crashes, lag, horrible UI. An exec of a local rl space company stopped by for a cocktail after a launch. I happened to have on one of the interviews with a developer where they wanted specifics for content playing. He looked at it, said your fired,turned to me and we talked about other things.

[visual pike]

No it won’t once the peace shield goes the shield you applied will still be up……. Then I read the rest and notice the sarcasm 😂

[high ocean]

Been playing for 5 min and have had to restart 3 times. Pathetic. Fix your servers.

Lag is killing my ships in hazard space. This picture is from my trying to recall. Nothing would display in hazard space so I had to recall. I could not even recall. Also, I am only seeing "common" priority one away team missions even though I have uncommon, rare and epic unlocked. I used to see all types of missions - but the last several days have only had common missions

[high ocean]

A drunk 4 year old could run this game better than Scamly. Scamly is so inept it blows my mind.

[worn vault]

New speciality ship to reward scopeley for creating a new pain point for no reason… I’m tired boss. If they really cared about the game in the long run, this ship should’ve been a guaranteed full unlock from a battle pass or missions.

[opal crane]

I'm assuming Scopely told something to the whales.

[woeful rapids]

big oof for wasting that many tokens when you could have just bought transogen forge materials

[cunning tulip]

If it worked properly it wouldn’t have been a waste 😝
also.. it is still useful just to set up for incursions or arena.. but that alone isn’t worth it..

[woeful rapids]

I can see how it would be useful, but to me the choice of spending 450k flashpoint tokens or 99.99 on it is out of the question 😂 just opted for some progression with the new building

[humble hornet]

Wow! One whole transogen toll per week when your building hits 45? I feel so spoiled! Are you sure that's not too many, Scopely? 🙄

[grave hawk]

Good morning scopely! I apologize for missing a few days, but this is your nearly daily reminder that the game is in a terrible state, the new ship is probably going to be straight. Hooky doo and the idea behind it makes little to no sense. Want to do something helpful? Glad that you asked. Please make the faction store bulk collectible. Also come up with a pause button on Lorca ability. Something that accounts for an accidental hitting of the button and ruining the the usage of it.

[marsh jolt]

smelling protector style thing here tho from vid

[quick gale]

Any chance of you fixing Revenant? The system is awful. I got mine to level 10 so was able to do the scrap for mk3.

Scrapped, rebuilt equipped the new skin and ran out of rare parts at t7 so now my Revenant is stuck 2 tiers lower than it was.

Swapping between the mk2 skin and mk3 skin and the amount of parts needed does not change so the whole design is flawed.

I guess if I had wiped localisation it would have been ok but you could just design the game properly instead of affecting players who have taken a while to get their ships to a certain level from being dumped in the crapper.

[mighty spire]

You know what is going to make me quit.. among many other things… the inability to scroll to the bottom of the alliance store without it resetting to the top every few seconds. Talk about annoying af!

[full matrix]

does anybody know what happens if i bought this ?

[silk charm]

same as the other kir'shara claim, but no cooldown/limit on it. only here for this grandmaster run though

[full matrix]

so also artefact parts ?

[glacial spruce]

The game will have lag, bugs, and crash. Oh, wait... 😋

[bold mirage]

Why do you need ops 61+ to use a rift to Henzyyr or Torgoth? G5 players can easily reach them using a half-way decent nx01, why do we need this extra frusttation?

[empty yarrow]

i HATE it when you finally get the stupid key, but bank has been closed for a day or so. So then you just lose the STUPID key! This has happed twice! Nighthawk 117 093 stinkin server

[finite mural]

Because it's still a g6 system

[neon atlas]

I think we all deserve to know:
Does Scopely want this game to exist in 5 years?
3 Years?
In 2026?

The same decisions that are driving players away are being repeated each Arc

[glass fulcrum]

Greatly dislike the daily push notifications related to events.

[slender monolith]

You now have a slightly lower tier ship with a Mk3 skin and the bonuses it gives. Also, once unlocked, the skin applies its bonus even if not equipped, as do all skins and beams, they work like research, not FTs.

[quick gale]

But it should have got back to tier10

[slender monolith]

Only if you saved up enough parts, and didn’t forget to equip the new skin before upgrading.
I mean, if it was just supposed to stay the same, but get a new skin, it wouldn’t need scrapping as part of the process.

[graceful lotus]

I am hopeful that this new ship will be part of the battlepass itself. It would show that you are starting to listen to your playerbase, but I am not going to hold my breath

[jovial crow]

Please consider getting rid of the cooldown for this. Or lowering it. I have stuff in there ill never be able to spend otherwise.

[light marten]

Need to fix or improve pioneer crest away team missions. Constantly failing

[fiery lotus]

Scopely you talk all of the time about making QOL improvements to the game… heres two ideas if you really want to help your players:

1. add a filter in the officers tab like you have for fkr dailies where turning it on ONLY shows the players that can be upgraded when you have enough officer badges. Right now selecting the “upgradable” option from the drop down list shows 33 officers… only two can ACTUALLY be upgraded as I have the needed badges….

2. add a sliding bar or a set quantity button for shield purchases… why must we have to click 90 times if we want to purchase 90 shields?

[outer sage]

I can’t be the only that has asked this, but SCOPELY can you make it to where we can get 5 or 10 at a time 🤣

[neon atlas]

If ever there was a need for a slider...

[fiery lotus]

You’re not… see above

[inland shoal]

I just got the GS 31...Welp...I heard there's supposed to be a mission to help it along, no sign yet. I tried using it on an Elite. My regular ships were strong enough to finish the first wave, and I get that we're supposed to weaken them with the gs 31...but out of the box, with no "stuff" to let it actually work? My impression is a ship that can't do what it's supposed to do. So sick of this

[nova sierra]

My topic today: Transogen Forge Dust!
How many decades do you Scopely think it will take at to gather enough Transogen Forge Dust to be able to do the research Forge Reward Claim?
Since day 1 at the Transogen Refinery, I've traded in ordinary raw Transogen and only received 196 Transogen Forge Dust.
If this continues, it will take 20 years before the Forge Reward claim can be made. Are you sure someone didn't make a calculation error when creating the algorithm?
🖖

[restive vale]

don't worry - i'm sure the new ship will have a refine for bucket loads of the dust

[nova sierra]

Your word in the ears of the gods 😉

[pale garnet]

remans are romulans, so they should be scoring in all romulan events, the only faction that has this bad non-scoring faction

[grave hawk]

It's been going on ever since the augment Arc started and they haven't bothered to fix it. They talk about quality of life and it's all blah blah blah. They don't give a rip about our quality of life.

[inner garden]

I have been watching a year old Rev Deuce vid on the Mirror universe. Mostly due to being Annoyed about the Error message you must be in a rift to use a rift
Yet.. there use to be this yellow button to just hit and spend to get to your destination. When will that be reinstated?

[sterile stream]

<@&509690795536941056> We really really really need this ships to be scrapable...i accidently built two Mayflowers. And i can't remove them anymore.

[grave hawk]

You must mean the screen of death

[hollow pike]

That’s the NX-01 ship ability button. Lets you see into a system so long as you’ve previously visited it. There’s never been a 1 button click to travel through Mirror space.

[fiery lotus]

For just $99.99

[waxen tinsel]

That research isn't really worth the cost... I saw the total amount of ALL the gifts it will get you and it was shamefully low

[dusky sage]

I had that, I traded parts to get the whole key, but I didn't want to spend it. when Vault closed, my key was gone too. I opened a support ticket to explain the process: "parts traded, key not used, etc" and they restored the key to my inventory.
open a support ticket

[dusky sage]

general feedback: it is very annoying when things stay in store/refinery/event store even after unlocking it/getting all the parts (refits) , or buying the 1 thing that a specific token unlocks (example: Syndicate Prime token). Please-pretty-please find a way to hide the things that are already unlocked / tokens that can't be spent anywhere.
this applies to Alliance Tournament, the Amalgam refinery, and I'm sure I've seen it in the Event store some time as well. Especially with Alliance Tournament I spend so much time going "I don't have this? wait, back back back. clickity. I do, ok ignore that one. next, what did this unlock again? back back back, clickity, oh right, back to store. what did this one unlock? back back back, clickity. ohhh, right. next one."
things in store should be things you can use. this will be a big quality of life improvement in many places, but mostly the Alliance Tournament

[quick gale]

Can someone tell me what should happen with Revenant when you scrap it at t10.

I scrapped mine, got the blueprints and the skin.

Rebuilt it, applied the skin. Started to re tier it and it only got to t7.

Now the requirements have increased and my Revenant is half the power and not able to defeat enemies it was previously.

Scopely supported say it’s my fault as I should have stocked up before I scrapped. I believed that after scrapping you returned to where you were.

Scopely have closed my ticket I’m so peeved I might just delete as I’m so fed up of this.

The important thing here is when I equip my mk3 vs mk2 skin the cost reduction does not seem to change the cost of parts I need to upgrade.

Added pics with the 2 different mk skins equipped.

No change in cost when changing skin.

[waxen tinsel]

Skins are effective even when they aren't applied; they start working as soon as you trade in the shards to unlock them.

The first scrap didn't give quite enough to get back to T5 either.

Should the scrap give you enough on the rebuild, I'd argue yes. In my experience it hasn't

[quick gale]

Scopely support told me I should have saved up…

Now I need 1 weeks of armadas to get 20k of rare parts. And spend 3 weeks getting back to t8. This can’t be correct.

[odd heart]

If the new ship somehow awarded Tritanium, i'd buy it, if not, then won't bother...

[frosty yarrow]

Everytime u tier, the refinery resets. Did u do max pulls after every tier?

[copper spear]

Oh. Cute. The Grandmaster store exclusives for the tournament disappeared before we could spend our placement credits points on anything golfclap

[quick gale]

I can’t pull anything, I need 6.7m for a pull and get 200k per armada so that’s weeks away

[wise quest]

<@&509690795536941056> The 'grandmaster' part of the AT store has closed. Can you get it re-opened please?

[weary sentinel]

<@&509690795536941056> any chance having the recent additions adding back to the alliance tournaments store so I can spend my credits please? Just under 2 days left for spending and several items have been removed? I’m guessing by error

[frosty yarrow]

I think thats why u couldnt tier it. Evolutioning ship in a few days and i have mats for multiple max pulls after. Maybe u did too small armadas, and thsts why u have no stock. What lvl u were doing on evolution 2 ship?

[gentle ginkgo]

Bring back Grandmaster Items until Store closes!!

[quick gale]

58 type 03.1

Pulls should have nothing to do with getting back to t10. You should get it back when you scrap.

Another alliance member went to mk3 today and it worked fine.

I followed scopely guide for scrapping Revenant and it looks like you get less rare returned if you scrap at 46 instead of 50 despite the guide saying you can scrap at 46

[fleet moss]

Guess what. Scopely f-ed up again. Where is the ferengi whip?

[dusky zealot]

There seems to be a bug with the Alliance Tournament results?
We we downgraded for no reason

[native vessel]

What happened to all the extra stuff in AT store for Grand Master? its all gone when store is supposed to be availble for 2 days after AT done? Is that an error, can you please put those items back in the store so we can spend what we earned on them?

[tranquil roost]

Im sure they designed a pack for that 🤣🤣💰💰💰

[vapid grove]

it says you can, not that it recommends too....

[quick gale]

Wrong information either way

[vapid grove]

Not really the information informs that you need to go up a level in order to get the refit, which is correct. The thing that really amazes me though is that these are very old issues that became known forever ago when the rev first came out and yet months later people are still making the same mistakes, does no one communicate in the game to their mates anymore?

[high ocean]

Don't worry everyone! I'm sure Scamly will give us another 1 hour speed up in compensation for their screw up! lol Scamly is the worst gaming company on the planet. Worse than EA, Ubisoft, Plarium, all of em.

[sinful socket]

They're back. I just reset my game and all the GM stuff was there for purchase.

[worthy hamlet]

ferengi whip disappeared from the tourney store.

[quick gale]

So you blame the players not the people providing the information. And there in lies the problem...

When to Scrap: Tier 10, Ship Levels 46-50.
Does not tell you that there is an issue in scrapping at 46 vs 50.

[tired mountain]

I was under the impression that the grandmaster Kir'shara didnt a cool down, but I am seeing one here, is that not the case? @tidal notch

[vapid grove]

let me ask you this, when you go to scrap does it tell you exaclty what you are going to get? if you then increase the level does it then show you that you get more? If you are scrapping say a g4 ship for parts do you level it to max or do you leave it level 1 and get nothing? Ship scrapping works the same it always has, the reason they say 46-50 is so that someone doesnt tier it up and scrap it at 45 not getting the refit. Getting mad cause the game didnt work the way you wanted without asking around first or looking into it, or even thinking logically about it cause any other ship scrapped 4 levels lower gets less mats back. If the help article said specifically scrap at 46 then 100% I would agree, it doesnt it lets you know the earliest you can scrap it level wise to get the refit, not to get the mats you want.

[quick gale]

But I did get the refit. And the skin. What I didn’t get was enough rare parts. I wouldn’t know I would get less unless I levelled up again.

[livid stone]

Did you unlock the latest refit before starting to relevel and tier the rev? When I did my rev rebuilds I could get very close to the tier it was at when it was scrapped, but I also would re-refine at each tier during the step up process each time too.

[languid tinsel]

<@&509690795536941056> When is this disconnection issue being fixed? It's been months an nothing! My last disconnection happen during a WAVE!

[neat moss]

Scrapping at 46 or 50 should give you exactly the same - 100k Rare parts. The only difference is the amount of Ship XP changes

[quick gale]

Ok thanks. so why can’t I get back to tier10. Like another in my alliance did. I received 100k rare parts

[neat moss]

did you go in and apply the Refit before you started tiering the ship back up? If you dont, you miss out on the Parts Efficiency buff (sorry for the long pause, there is a 5 minute cooldown on posting in this forum to prevent spamming)

[quick gale]

Yes I did apply the skin. As had heard of others forgetting so made sure I did that like when I did my mk2

[neat moss]

and how far did you get it back to? Also, you should try changing the type of Solos you run the 58.1s are roughly the same difficulty as the 54.2s, but the 54.2s give double the rewards. And then once you work up to the 56.2s you can actually swap to the 60.2s (which actually have a lower DPR)

[quick gale]

Thanks for the advice. Got to tier7 with some of the components done. And managed 1 more with a polygon pull after I had tiered.

[neat moss]

checking Spocks.Club, it does actually look like the Revenant takes over 340k Rare parts to go all the way from T1 to t10 again. So if your alliance mate did it, they either had a bunch of extra rare parts left before they scrapped it, or they did a bunch of extra refinery pulls (double and triple pulls) once they applied the Refit

[craggy egret]

Can anyone tell me what these ship parts are for? I’ve got 2 maxed Franklin-A’s, they’re not scrappable and there’s nothing in refits. Is this something for a future update?

[neat moss]

Pretty sure those are needed for tiering up the Franklin-A from Tier 9-12, so if you decide to build a 3rd one you would need those.

[finite mural]

Alpha is tier 9-10 warp upgrade, delta is tier 10-11

[latent adder]

game is jumping all over the place,, is there an issue?

[hollow pike]

Unless the servers are down for maintenance, there’s always an issue.

[haughty sail]

pre maintenance lag, noticed a lot more this evening where doing warp trick to stop chasers fails half the time with warp path not found errors. promising for tomorrow....

[high ocean]

Warnings = yawn

[latent adder]

lol,,, ok cant type in chat , cant select anything its jumping like a jack in the box,, ill turn off till tomorrow,, maybe these issues will be replaced with others,lol

[burnt marsh]

Why do we still have alerts for dead arcs in the faction store ? Data, and mudds, after lv 62 these are useless. Can we turn off base on level, so if. Folks want to they can but alerts are off.

[hushed rock]

I love the talk. Can’t upgrade my ships without being a higher ops level. But they are pushing increasing. Hi Caesar.

[sharp widget]

Thanks STFC for nothing. I raise a ticket and it automatically closes. This week and last week for the Rules of Acquistion I only have the ALB meaning I cannot participate in the other two missing out on goodies

[high ocean]

Scamlys " support " is told to basically ignore players. I havnt had the Threat from Beyond, regular or heroic, in 3 weeks. Basically, they will continue to ignore you until you just give up. Utterly pathetic company.

[terse oasis]

I am on my 3rd ticket, for the same issue. I purchased the Office BP unlock (the cheap one), and they gave me the points one instead. So was unable to complete the bottom row of the battle pass, which meant less loot for the Event Store. They told me what happened twice, and closed the ticket. I was not going to spend more money. They need a re-open ticket

[last nymph]

There are no level 70 revenant group armadas on server 095 for the past few days. Kill regular hostiles and solo armadas, and they do not spawn.

[vestal patio]

Stop doing patches during that latnium rush event!!!!

[west sedge]

What on earth are game design thinking with 2 consecutive arcs within any IA additions!? If you want players to engage with new content, reduce the workload associated with old/redundant content. Whack the defiant, stella, mantis, titan, cerritos etc. etc. etc. all into the IA immediately (like months ago ideally...). What's the issue here? Get on it, like now!

[prime socket]

1. Maintenance is always done at this time
2. Lat Rush isn’t important
3. Everyone gets the same outage, so it’s not really affecting anything

[vestal patio]

It is the most competitive event in my bracket. People are on farming like crazy. There are far better days with events that don't need direct attention. Having updates during this event compared to others makes no logical sense.

[violet nymph]

Last month: Flashpoint and the player Feedback was abysmal.
This month: Let's do more flashpoint, introduce more things to do and oh... Let's ignore what the players want.
I am so incredibly happy with the choice I took a year ago to stay F2P only. This game is going down very fast and that's sad.

[fast anvil]

who in the world even does lat rush anymore. it's useless

[zealous trellis]

Add loops to the IA!!!!!!!!

[lethal glade]

Thankfully got latinum rush finished before maintenance

[vestal patio]

Only useless if you have the Feesha. For newer players it is important.

[fast anvil]

no it's not😂

[tawdry flax]

The leaderboards say otherwise

[cerulean quest]

Best part of this arc : it wil be month nr 4 I’ll not be spending money on this game in a row

[lethal glade]

I have ferengi Dvor, it's fast

[fast anvil]

leaderboards don't say much. it's probably only the top 50 actually trying to do anything. the others are people getting points by just doing dailies. so yes it's useleas

[hollow root]

In August, with the people who pay you on vacation, you should focus on bugs, not other complex steps. 👎

We'll be under the umbrella at the beach or walking in the mountains, certainly not clicking in games. 💯 🏖️ 🗻

[humble hornet]

@raw fiber Is it possible to see the refinery costs to go with those lovely breakdown charts? I heard a nasty rumour that a single pull would not be enough to unlock the refinery chest.

[sonic robin]

Oh wow, this is so new and unexpected!!!

[vestal patio]

For newer players it absolutely is not useless. It's how they can get the D'vor feesha in a semi timely manner, especially for f2p accounts or mostly f2p accounts.

[lethal sedge]

While I 100% agree, the decisions for this arc have been made months ago. They can't come up with a completely new idea and implement it within ~20 days. Change takes time. I really hope they listened to the results of the survey and will incorporate it asap. But to expect it to have a meaningful impact on this months arc is wishful thinking.

[jaunty hinge]

theyve said they listened to feedback for the last 3 months and its only gotten worse every month. at what point should we expect a change?

[abstract zealot]

the new chapel officer is woefully designed. Rep from FRK hostiles is dead when MU exists. below deck ability is so mediocre 500% at max is far to low. this officer would be good if your below ops 40 but other then that its pointless.

[violet nymph]

They have several arcs in the pipeline, all they had to do was push one of them up in the priority list. I also wouldn't expect them to come up with a new idea... The last few arcs were bad ideas already so expecting a good new idea implemented in less than a month would be crazy. 😅

[zealous trellis]

Add loops to the IA!! Exiles grind four systems for claims, transogen mine now four different nodes plus grind hostiles. Two ships in two months. No loops closed with IA...

[lethal sedge]

Agreed. The officer is pointless in my eyes. At least one more officer you don't need to worry about and can potentially use for ATAs 😄 Maybe her traits are good for some of those new P1ATAs?

[rich night]

crap used to have a few minutes before Maintenace then set shields now i dont even get that and never had a job that had 4 hr shifts

[tawdry flax]

Leaderbords say who is participating. I once sat my base next to a latinum node and went back and forth for 2 hours. I finished 3rd for my Ops level. Most weeks I’m not even in the top 10. My point is people go hard (at least on my server) for these events….even though the rewards can be meh. I say “can be” because you never know what’s important to someone else. It doesn’t benefit Scopely to run an event no one plays. So just because you think its useless doesn’t mean the thousands of other players who play the game agree. Shocking news here but….we’re not all the same. 😮

[solar solar]

The problem is routine events do not scale with ops progression. If they increase the rewards based on player ops level then perhaps more would engage with faction hunt later Monday Stella etc etc

[rose tapir]

<@&509690795536941056> Almost 50% of the "bug fixes" listed for Update 81: Flash Point pt.2 are nothing more than correcting wording in descriptions/names/tooltips. That's not a bug fix at all, it's more likely a way of making it look like Scopely are doing more than they really are. To point out a few....

• 'Fixed the incorrect naming of the Level 46 Flashpoint system from “Joral” to the intended “Tau Xegat.”'
• 'Updated SNW D’Chok’s officer ability description to clearly indicate compatibility with Epic Transogen.'
• 'Corrected the tooltip for the “Apex Barrier” buff in the Transogen Forge building, clarifying its relevance to PvP combat.'

These are not bugs, these are instances where Scopely couldn't just pay attention and do things right the first time. Also, curious as to who was hired to look for spelling mistakes and wording issues to fix to plump up the "bug fix" list to try and make it look like someone spent more than 10 minutes on it.

Things like this offer absolutely zero confidence in Scopely's ability or interest in actually working on fixing the genuine broken gameplay mechanics, some of which have been that way for years.

[stone roost]

I'm assuming that epic transogen pull is a 22H cooldown like the others so that's either 15 or 8 days depending on how much you mine

One pull a week or one pull a fortnight that is less than you get from a single daily pull is not efficient, if you want people to spend money you're meant to tempt them, all this has done is convince me I can happily wait 3 months to get this ship for free, I'm only missing out on 7 lackluster pulls 😂

Even the artifacts are 15 shards for a single pull so that's again one single artifact shard every 15 / 8 days

[wise quest]

The number you get will clearly go up with the new ship - it even says 'boost with the serene squall'

[vale wasp]

Oops, we'll have to see the changes to epic income with ship ownership.

[hollow plover]

aehm... ops60, FKR rep: 20B - in the morning it was just 125k not 12500k

[rose tapir]

That's not linked to ops level, I thought faction mining dailies were linked to faction rep?!?

[stone roost]

Yeah they're linked to faction rep

[nova sierra]

Faction rep dude not ops lol

[muted shuttle]

Oh look, another Epic fail.

[unreal jolt]

another month in the Year of Hell

[quick gale]

6 years of hell

[hollow plover]

true, forgot about rep dependency, yet in the morning it was just 250k not 12500k

[stone roost]

unless getting the ship increases the rewards by like 10x or ideally more and not 1.5X like they've done with the Defiant and the Relativity it's still a terrible pull rate

Also why bother showing it WITHOUT the ship when you can only mine it with the new ship anyway

[coral snow]

I love how my 1d+ remaining gold shield got reset to 8hr!
Assuming this is the same for all of APAC

[lethal sedge]

Feels like this is on purpose. That way they can better sell the Federation / Klingon / Romulan Mining Sweep

[wise quest]

Orkan alphan also has the increased hazard

[rose tapir]

Just went in and rechecked my dailies....yup, that's surely not right?!....something for scopely's next bug fixes list

[cedar crescent]

None that are relevant to anyone ops50+

[kind star]

Some players who were rightly annoyed and frustrated by the last arc wanted to wait for the next arc to decide whether to give this pathetic company Scopely the middle finger and delete the game for good... I think Scopely has succeeded! Once again, lousy content that no one wants. Once again, a new ship that no one wants, once again new loops that no one needs, and of course, as always, old bugs that continue to be ignored. I sincerely hope that the revenue for this BS drops dramatically.

[acoustic geyser]

Hey we got a week long yellow shield for the earthquakes / tsunami and tonight after patch the day + we had left has been reduced to only 8 hours. I'm glad I logged in and checked but can we have the day back <@&509690795536941056>

[wise quest]

Why couldn't you make the new ships bps take common transogen? I have nothing to spend common transogen on!

[hasty vault]

It is common

So I lose over a day off a shield due to them "fixing" stuff......does someone want to tell them that's not how the good math works smh.

[solid schooner]

i'm so happy haven't spent even 1 euro in the last 3 months that u can't imagine..

The G4 romulan mining dailies still both give the "big" reward. That could be considered a positive bug, but it is impacting my faction grind and that of many others too.

FKR Mining daily goals seem to be a visual issue, I just mined 100k g5 gas and all Fed daily mining goals were completed, claim before it disappears 😆😂

[acoustic geyser]

If it takes me ~1 hour to earn enough to do one daily pull, but my ship dies in 40 minutes? It'll take INSANE hours to get enough for the new miner! Change the rates!

[red cliff]

That's uncommon

[twilit hamlet]

Wow transgenic space kills now under 2 min... I was able to farm 40k, 50k from suliban runners.. now I barely farm 3k.

[errant brook]

"boost with Serene Squall" means with the ship the payout is drastically increased - for those who try to mine with 5000% Hazard...

[zealous rose]

good to see scopely double down after rev’s rant a couple weeks ago.

[stone roost]

If past ships are anything to go by there's zero chance the SS (awful name btw scopely) will boost those rewards by enough to get more than one pull every couple of days

[carmine charm]

Yes, they couldn't have ignored our feedback more if they tried

[humble hornet]

They couldn't even if they wanted to, this arc was already set in stone.

[carmine charm]

Oh really? So if a pack contains more items than intended it wouldn't be changed as it is set in stone? There are plenty of things they could have done that would be swift. Expanding the independent archives or g6 freebooters come to mind.

[young ibex]

In their defense (rare occasion to defend them) at least they didn't come up with the name. They just used it from an episode of SNW.

[dusty portal]

Scopely overrode the 7 day gold shields with more than 24 hours left and rep,aced them with 8 hour shields

[wild hearth]

Before maintenance, Gold shield remaining =~ 1d 6h
After maintenance, Gold shield = 8h
Thanks for stealing my shield time 🤬

[dusty portal]

I even posted previously in this channel to warn Scopely not to do this, now there’s going to be people who thought they still had a base shield who are going to get raided

[fluid mist]

typical scopley takes time away from a goodwill peace shield when they add new content bravo bravo scopley not only do you need to worry about that 24hr safety net but ya might have to worry about all that resources all them accounts might lose shame shame shame

[errant brook]

lol

[thin anchor]

Absolutely nothing in this arc makes me excited to play the game. Not one thing

[vale scroll]

Looks like a machine gun, do Scopely think that mining is fun?

[keen loom]

Total waste of time. Arc after arc.

In other news, Scopley is hiring, and after reading descriptions for Live Ops, and Community Managers (granted for other Scopley owned games) lots on the STFC team should be losing jobs.

Yet another arc where sales will be at all time lows.

You just don’t get it. People do not care about Trashpoint. It should have been scrapped. Instead you double down on a ship, no one is going to spend on.

[acoustic geyser]

If two people warp through here at exactly the same time, will they crash and make antimatter implosions?

[violet dock]

Ok this just dumped the Squall into "pick up during event stores" territory. I'm not wasting time on it. The loop'll wait and might even have improvements by the time I get to it (hey, next year's mining ship might have efficiencies for it 😜)

[keen loom]

Wouldn’t that be amazing. Make the region totally not worth it. Wait. That’s already been accomplished. Complete waste of space.

[acoustic geyser]

Reminds me of the omega stuff, that's what we need, some of those particles then it really becomes unusable, no warping required, 100 + days at impulse per system, no speedups 😂

[exotic wave]

so other than 1 new officer (the other is behind ship paywall as highlighted by next commenter below) nothing new added without buying the new miner to unlock research, loop efficiencies, star systems, refining options?

[vast nest]

Don't forget one of those officers is locked behind the new ship

[dusky yew]

Really, raising systems hazards to force sale of new ship? <@&509690795536941056> . I hope this is a mistake but sure doesn't feel like it, why even touch the old systems previously released

[lethal bridge]

<@&509690795536941056> my summary of the last 8 month

8 month are over. 8 arcs that year.

What we got.

• new boring grind loops
• new ships
• We got things we didn't ask for

What we didn’t get

• new features
• less grind loops
• real quality of life features
• quality
• less bugs
• less technical problems
• less poor server performance
• optimized client (why does the client have 9+GB after several weeks on iPadOS and iOS)

You wanted to deliver quality and new content. New grind loops and new ships aren’t quality and new contents. It is the same you delivered the last years and the quality got even worse.

[rapid agate]

<@&509690795536941056> both Oconel and Orkan Alpha had their Tempest Hazard damage raised to 400% from considerably less (200% I believe)...please get them reverted back to how they were previous arc.

The hazard damage in them is even higher than the subsequent higher level systems

[humble hornet]

Come on, you don't really think changing some pixels in a pack is equivalent to events for a month, surely.

[dusky yew]

Shoot, the 62 system was only 100%. I was like, why is my ship dead already. Though they buffed hostile chasers .nope died to hazards. Smh

[keen loom]

It should be obvious. Scopley is trying to make the new ship “must have” to make the space we already didn’t care about, even less worth while and less attractive.

[jaunty hinge]

This is what happens when someone says "worst arc ever", someone at Scopley says "Hold my beer"

[fallen spear]

The shape reminds me a bit on header ports on a MB 😂

[keen loom]

Scopley has already publicly stated Trashpoint is the plan for the remainder of 2025. It’s just too bad they don’t listen to player feedback and are incapable of course corrections.

[vast nest]

This is because they started with Year of Hell and decided to actually commit to a full year instead of just a two parter

[dreamy river]

Do you guys understand we need more mines not more requirements 😅🤣😃 excavators rotflm..ao

[cosmic basin]

Just another ship and loop thats died and obsolete for me very close to uninstall the crap

[dawn ice]

Why is your first instinct to whine instead of check official communications? Its even addressed in game.

[dreamy river]

I new you wanted to whine about me joking 😃😂😅 so I bated you on a hook now read my next image

[keen loom]

As a general rule - Scopley pushes nothing but garbage and communications are generally kindergarten level. So the reaction is semi understandable.

[dreamy river]

Loved the excavator gag 😂😃😅

[carmine charm]

I'm not expecting them to overhaul entire arcs but let's not pretend expanding the archive or adding higher level freebooters would be a hard task

[cosmic basin]

24 hours in a day scopley require 28 hours to progress cant work to jobs

[elder pollen]

If this game were a sweater, it would have 20 sleeves

[woeful nymph]

Releasing a skin the same month you sell the ship tells me you underestimate the intelligence of your spending community. Hard pass. I’m not paying for a weak ship with a terrible refinery that requires a skin the same month it’s released

[humble hornet]

I dunno about that, given that the simplest of changes seems to cause things to break. 🙈

[restive sentinel]

Still no increase in Alliance Contribution increments?

[ashen star]

You guys are really not filling me with confidence that any of the major participation killing issues from last month are fixed when you managed to fork up the mining dailies.

[oak hawk]

Gold Shield timer is terribly wrong ... off by about 24 hours

[dire geyser]

do you think this is accessible game design? please replace whoever is responsible for ux and game design

[rose tapir]

So glad you spent so much time fixing dopey text in descriptions of stuff. It makes getting stuck in game breaking preparation screens so much more relaxing. IM LOVING having to restart the game just because I used my refinery.

[carmine charm]

That's a different story, just saying they could do grind reductions without massive development time assuming with a modicum of competence

[vivid nebula]

And holes for your hands would be a prime

[ancient stratus]

Question. Does anyone now are we going straight into emergency maintenance after reset or will it be a hour or 2 later

[crimson lotus]

not able to complete the handshake - I'm stuck here for 5 minutes

[fluid mist]

oh it's working as intended since the flooding wasn't as big as they thought it would be so someone over at HQ said let's remove 25.5hrs of that 7day peace shield we gave them and say oops it was an unintentional bug due to new content

[crimson lotus]

After waiting 5 minutes, I did a "repair" on it, re-loaded - waited 10 minutes and the game finally loaded. Will report back any further issues. #plzfixkthx

[ashen falcon]

STFC, you broke the contract you made with the Independent Archive. You add a ship to the game, you add an old ship or two to the Archive. WHERE IS OUR SHIP BEING ADDED TO THE ARCHIVE. That was the only THE ONLY thing I was looking forward to with this arc...

[leaden river]

I'm having similar issues. Not the way I like starting my morning.

[sharp socket]

Yall are funny. You know damn well scopely doesnt listen to or care what we want lol

[spark flume]

Why did I lose a whole day on my gold Shield

[vale scroll]

Not true, I specifically asked them for a new pointless Survey ship in the shape of an m60 machine gun... and they have done me proud.

[crimson lotus]

I think they caught on that there's just a bunch of folks who would only spend money on battle passes, so they added 5 more battle passes to make up the difference from losing all the whales and sharks. smart move on their part, but it's causing game fatigue because you have to now spend hours upon hours grinding bs

[analog tartan]

Shorter length gold shields should NEVER replace longer ones.

[rapid agate]

you're right, they were both 100%

[prime arrow]

“We’ve heard your feedback, Commanders. And to show you how seriously we took it, here’s 4 more weeks of exactly what you told us you didn’t want. AND THAT’S NOT ALL! We’re going to screw up the deployment so that it’s not really playable at launch, AND we’ll lock all the new research behind the paywall of a new ship! Good luck out there, Commanders!”

[maiden gate]

So a mistake in the total by an extra 0 ..... so instead of 187M G6 , somehow you think 18.75 M is attainable? OH THAT'S RIGHT .... IF you buy the new ship its doable ... way to hold the ENTIRE customer-base HOSTAGE ... and for a ship that holds NO value ... even its refinery is GARBAGE... guess last night's mining dailies was the last I'll complete for the next 100 days

[quick gale]

May experience brief lag or disruption because 20 daily restarts are not disruptive already 😂

[tidal shale]

<@&509690795536941056> so for the free to play players, what exactly is new and exciting for us in this Arc?... Seems to me all the new content for this arc is locked behind as a new ship.... Truthfully, be honest with us. Is it even worth anybody playing this Arc if they're not paying for the ship?

[brisk glacier]

<@&509690795536941056> There was a day left on the golden shield from the tsunami and scopely overwrote it with a shorter golden shield...

[maiden gate]

Its not just FTP that there is nothing in the Arc for ... mid-upper G6 players really get nothing usable in the ship OR the refinery ... well I guess with the new mining totals they "Get" the ability to finish mining Dailies ... Something that up till this BS was not a problem ...

[crimson ice]

The amount in the mining dailies is the same as before. It’s not just a zero problem. I did mine again with normal amounts and completed them.

[woeful nymph]

To be honest, there isn't much exciting for people that buy the ship either. Epic Transogen refinery payout looks to be trash. Since the refined Epic Transogen payouts are trash, they make the extra loop speedup chests worthless since you can't actually pull them

[maiden gate]

Haven't mined since last night ... I'm going by what $copley's own message said.... it says an extra 0 ... not 3 extra 0's

[flint spruce]

before the update it was only 200% and now 400%

[wise tide]

“During the update you may experience lag”

How will we possibly cope

[weak stream]

More accurrate question would be "how would we even notice?"

[tidal shale]

Yeah I'm in mid G6 also and the last arc and this upcoming was/ seems/looks like garbage for anything productive in the game

[brazen patrol]

Technically they said “some brief lag”, which would be noticeable because it would be a change from the regular lag

[woeful nymph]

75% of the patch notes revolve around the new ship. The new ship seems to be underwhelming all the way around at best. They've already annouced 2 skins to sell for it at launch. It's like day1 dlc. People are not that FOMO crazed that they will buy in to this over-monetization. If you're going to try and sell me something, sell it to me full featured and don't insult my $ or intelligence by parting it out.

[crimson ice]

Yup. The announcement was misleading. Just trying to spread good info. 🙂

[hoary lynx]

Everyone remember when they gave ship unlocks in the free bp path? Sure would have been a good idea to get some good will back if they'd revisited that strategy. I think they're so busy trying to milk the monetization cash cow that they haven't realized they're beating it dry

[ruby cargo]

We had over a day left on the golden shield last night at 10pm CST and now its 4 hrs. What's up?

[rare vale]

The maintenance shields overrode the natural disaster shields. They should probably do something about that.

[oak hawk]

They hate you

[fluid mist]

they did a thought session and found out too many players was enjoying the 7day shield and not enough raiding and pvp was happening so they "fixed" it with a new content upgraded 8hr shield that got rid of the problem rofl scopley logic at work

[silk loom]

@tidal notch We're asking for less screen time QoL... Scopely just added a 4th transogen to mine.

I thought higher level management actually watched @weak marten video? Did they gain nothing? Did they understand but just not care? Do they care if they lose more players and even more paying players?

The incompetence just goes to the next level. And I bet no one's job is on the line, and won't be until this game goes belly up and just shuts down.

[rare vale]

There's literally nothing in this update I'm interested with. Crew are meh, and the ship is meh. Even if the ship wasn't meh, I'm not spending $100 on a ship that will be useless for 10 to 12 months unless I spend $2000 in packs to make it immediately useful... but again, its not that useful. The new refinery is really blah. The rewards are either outdadted or give underwheming amounts of thenthings a person does need. It's simply not worth the squeeze at all. I wish more people would ignore their FOMO and ignore the new overpriced content.

[shrewd copper]

anyone else having issues launching the PC version after the update? Launcher comes up - when I click play I see a white box with a red exclamation point for about 1/2 second then goes right back to the launch screen. Rebooted my PC and same thing

[solid schooner]

i'm at the point if scopely pays me 99,99 to get the battlepass i would throw it into the bucket🤣

[plucky wolf]

Anyone else notice they reduced the G5 epic warp range?

[north meteor]

Personally, I'm ok losing a day off golden shields. But I'm concerned for the people who went to bed with a 30-hour shield and check in this evening only to find they've been unshielded for hours.

[north meteor]

My Ent-D looks the same. Is FC Kirk off-duty?

[plucky wolf]

Good call.
And thanks

[ocean surge]

Sooo Scopelys grand plan to make people part with their money this month for an invasion arc part 2 is to try and sell £99 miner? yeah nah id rather spend that money on something worth while lmao

[north meteor]

It will get some buyers, since not only is the epic resource exclusive to it, you get a miner that's immune to the hazards. Me, I bought the first two shards. 99 days to go.

[solid schooner]

i get absolutely nothing useful from every refinery or claim or mining at all, if you want any progression only action is swipe the card, awake from the dream guys and stop spending till they reintroduce something really useful, not ships or infinite loops

[fallow widget]

so, i was pretty sure that if you attacked someone, then canceled it before your ship arrived, you kept your shields. did that change at some point? I don't do it very often, but I lost my golden shield (meh) this morning trying to coax some DN miners off their nodes.

[jaunty prism]

This is a real funny way to phrase "fixed something that used to work and has been broken for 6 months"

Enabled direct claiming of Away Team assignments from the officer assignment menu without unnecessary navigation.

[violet dock]

To be fair to them, and I'm not anymore impressed with this nonsense than you are, the idea is just mine the epic and it pays out the other types.

[wet fiber]

Think this might be the final push i needed to walk away from this horrible dumpster fire you call a game. It's been well enough adding of the useless grinds, loops, ships, refineries or faction stores. It's going to be a waste in a sense but i rather give my money to a gaming company that actually fixes their game, not just add content to the point nothing works anymore. You're all as incompetent as they come, it hasn't been fun for a long time and as i've seen on my server, playerbase is going down hard, which you all deserve honestly after ignoring us for years. You can give us as many surveys as you want, it's all delusional, you don't care, it's always been and always will be, about the money.

[meager hollow]

@raw fiber what about not having the ship and raiding epic transogen? #⭐-official-announcements message

[oak lava]

Well they dont want the whales getting pvped...

[muted shuttle]

In all honesty now, do you guys have meetings to talk about this💩 before you release it. It was annoying when you started with the Voyager “year of hell”, we thought it was a joke that you actually meant a full year of 💩, but here we are.

[rich elm]

please fix this once and for all.. no, my internet is NOT down, i have multiple remote sessions to servers in various datacenters that do not flinch. its only connectivity to your server that is broken constantly

[mighty imp]

They didn’t like it when people completed their augment loop within the first month or the first week. They said they feel ethically obligated when people spend 18+ hours in the game. “It’s not good for mental health of our players”

So next month they come up with 5 different things to mine and 2 different hostiles currency to grind! Such geniuses !

[azure zealot]

This is valid for normal shields. For gold shields they go down just by confirming the attack.

[smoky totem]

Let's be real here, they didn't remove the epic refinery for those without the ship to prevent confusion, they removed it so people couldn't see how bad it was and hurt their sales.

[rich elm]

Yeah, those refine rates/payouts looked pretty sad

Also, I still don't have the GS31 nor the exiles one trick pony and i'm doing fine. You don't need the ship day 1 to play the game. I am fine with having it in 4-5 months. Gives them time to fix it.

[teal harness]

They do this because they are cheap and the servers can’t handle the load of rolling out all the events at the same time. They freeze up and lock.

[rich elm]

Actually, if they would care enough they could do it... Release the events in a staggered manner and set them with "Starts in 2 hours", "Starts in 1 hour" and so on. They could also release all the additional resources/graphics and other things the day before and pre-load/download them before they are needed to lower the demand on the servers on the day of release (this has been done on websites since mosaic / netscape were a thing and people were using dreamweaver for webdesign) 🙂

[teal harness]

Well at least they haven’t done a crossover event with their monopoly game or Yahtzee

[north meteor]

They effectively are already doing that. Events started early, and things are getting added as time passes.

[warped wind]

Maitenance shields should be added to existing gold shields. Not override them. There are many players out there who were expecting to have a shield for another day.

[teal harness]

Well that would imply they know what they are doing rather than being itinerant gig workers with h1b visas living 10 to a room. And they put me in slow mode I guess for my last comment.

[fallow widget]

Ty.

Unrelated, could we get HALF of the new ship in the Elite battle pass?

[rich elm]

Gone are the days when they gave ship BPs in the pass or anywhere else (that didnt take 3 months or more to get), I believe the last one was the cube.

[lunar ocean]

Bad officers, bad ship sourcing (100 days to get a ship that will be useless in 5 months is very bad), meh ship... Not really excited for this one. Especially considering the goal of what this ship delivers, it should have faster or additional sourcing. The whales are gonna buy multiple anyway, so would it kill ya to either make it a 30-50 day grind or at least let us accelerate through the Flashpoint Invasion? I'd be very happy with getting an extra 15 BPs per day of the Invasion and it would actually get me to participate a lot more. The casual players in my alliance have all already written it off and plan to ignore all Flashpoint and Transogen content due to the poor, greedy handling of it all.

It's annoying because there are so many other things that could be done that are more fair and still profitable... No other game is like this. This is the perfect ship to make sourcing easy for since having 2-3 is worth it.

And what the hell happened to the AI? Are we just getting refineries like this instead? Come on. I need a Meridian archive yesterday.

[tiny axle]

Oh wow, Scopely! The new battle pass is like a delightful trip down memory lane, except the memories are of the previous one, which was already a disaster. You guys are truly committed to burying this game six feet under. Regarding the shiny new ship, pricing is still a mystery. I have a hunch you'll be asking for a king's ransom, which means you'll likely sell as many as the total IQ of Scopely's management team. Who would have thought that Scopely have such an insatiable lust for profit that it would even put the Ferengi to shame......

[fallow widget]

there still is no reasonable way to get the cube...

[brazen prism]

**This remains a recurring theme;
**

Still no freebooters for G6
Still no G6 group armadas
Where is the Bajoran Faction G6 expansion?
So much more ..... nothing for G6
G6 remains void of content

[rich elm]

What I meant is that i think that was the last Arc they actually gave cube BPs in the pass

[copper viper]

<@&509690795536941056> LET EVERYONE REFINE EPIC TRANSOGEN, not only owner of the ship. #freetransogen

[cedar crescent]

They should archive the freebooters and bajoran loops. Cos meh!

[vast nest]

Freebooters can't really be archived as they have no specific ship to archive. They've talked about expanding it to G6 sometime but nothing yet.

Bajoran needs to be archived I'll agree

[spark fable]

@tidal notch Bek is prettier but good job on the vid. 😉

[olive summit]

The t1 refinery rates/payouts is complete trash. Basically 1 artifact shard per day unless u buy multiple packs with the ship

[fallow widget]

every loop from swarms to exchange to borg and jem'hadar needs content for every tier of operations/player/ship. We should have content out there that makes the 70s work and beg.

what-the-is-this-warp-path-ux?

[tidal notch]

Thanks! My favorite comment from the last patch notes was: "Bek is looking rough!"

[limber oriole]

$100 for a specialty miners, used for one type of loot. Is scopley out of thier minds. $20, maybe $50 tops, but 100. No thanks, look forward to less participation and absolutely zero $$ from me.

[elder pollen]

“But you're not helping.”
“What do you mean I'm not helping!”
“I mean you're not helping. Why is that Leon?”

[short spear]

I must admit that that's nice feature. also inputs working better is good, but it would been better if you can submit them with Enter also for pc/mac.

[tiny axle]

Well, there you have it, everyone - Scopely is asking for a £100 for a survey ship -a survey ship. I mean, really, calling this a case of lost sanity is putting it mildly. At this rate, you might as well change the title of the game to 'Star Trek: How to Alienate Players.'

[ripe timber]

Every month without additions to the IA shows $copely isn't serious about reducing grind and don't care about customer feedback.

[mental cloud]

"Pay Trek 4: The last few digits"

[spark fable]

Posted from Hammys alt account lmao , you just wanted the gig this month , admit it 😉

[scarlet haven]

i cant claim this - why? even tried restarting the game after tiering up the squall

[quick flume]

Same issue

[analog sparrow]

I don't see any option in the transogen refinery that gives me ship parts for the Serene Squall

[fast anvil]

<@&509690795536941056> can we have it so whenever the wave BP ends the next one start 3 or so days after not 1 month later 😅

[surreal otter]

First time in forever I can't actually get into the game this far past maintenance.

Granted, this arc makes me want to quit anyway, but cmon guys...

[jolly saddle]

IQ should be reported like the weather.
IQ 105
Feels like 26

[cosmic anvil]

Minimal research too, which is one of the most disappointing G6 features. But hey, we got hazard resistance to compensate for all of the missing content.

[toxic sinew]

Hey CMs; You are actively harming players who were relying on the issued 7 day Ceasefire Shield. By not acting on the Maintenance shields overwriting the prior 7 day shield; you're forcing players to log back in a day early or risk losing everything; which is patently unfair given that some people might have actually evacuated during Tsunami watches and are having to deal with that uprooting their routine.

I myself might not have been affected; you may see I've applied a shield BECAUSE I expected this behavior from Scopely. But genuinely; I SHOULD NOT NEED to do that! I SHOULD NOT need to arrive a day before the gold shield expires and apply yet ANOTHER shield.

Your code should NOT be overwriting previous gold shield timers if someone has one on-going and that remaining time would go through the duration of a newly issued gold shield.

[limpid pasture]

hate to say but trying to delete account to poor 3eyesight & 3 tribble bots later & a month till not happened

[sleek sparrow]

You know it's an embarrassing mess up when multiple people bring it up but the <@&509690795536941056> actively ignore it. Bad deployment followed by bad customer care just compounds the issue.

[brazen prism]

G6 is one of the biggest disappointments in this game. It's a shame I went there. There's simply nothing in G6. It's just G5, but with extremely difficult, often impossible events (especially last month). So, where's the G6 content? 😌

[vivid nebula]

It’s a common theme, the cm’s will ignore anything serious, yet respond to the most frivolous comment

[tidal notch]

I did answer this in a different channel, (#👾-bug-reporting message) but I agree that we should let players know with a post. Will work on that.

[vernal wolf]

Scopley's working methods

[tranquil ferry]

New specialty ship nobody wants. Well done. Will be my very first specialty ship ill do the free way. You guys are unimaginative and im done buying ships i dont want. Have a day

[crimson lotus]

same

[kindred sphinx]

Did anyone else loose all the Transogen they mined in the last week with this new update? No warning that they would be warping home your token miners and my Nova was in dock this morning with no sign of the over 30 Million Transogen that I had in it's holds last night. Only have a little over 600k common transogen sitting in my inventory. What is the point of having these token spaces where you can mine for over a week if EVERY time I try to mine them you insta-port home my empty miner?!

[crimson lotus]

i'd love it IF scopley would separate PVP logs and PVE logs so if I die, i dont have to scroll down a million times to see who popped me

[urban verge]

There is no way you had all of us level up are Transogen forge to help with mining rates only for the squall to not be affected by the building. Why would you make us level up a building to increase our transogen mining rates then release a ship specifically designed to mine it that gets 0 bonus from the building also designed for it? We have to re-research all of the bonuses for normal transogen mining? You can't let the building also count as well? That's genuinely insane lol

[limber oriole]

@raw fiber
Dont have your people posting to social media about codes and them delete them 5 minutes later cause code dont work...
Ineptly strikes again!!

[cinder cairn]

Make battle passes 10+ again pls. Thanks.

[fluid mist]

<@&509690795536941056> so just curious as the arc is just getting underway are the mission this month going to be locked behind mining epic transogen just like the missions from last month was the events only asking so I'll know to bother even trying or not

[spiral stump]

Wow....this is horrible. Leave it to Scopely to never listen to the players.

[teal harness]

I can’t believe you won’t even send out a warning message after you borked the tsunami cease fire shield. Btw the Maint shields are about to go down

[spiral stump]

This mess pushes me more and more towards the button that gives me more storage space.

[urban verge]

A level 5 tier 1 fortunate the first mining ship in the game can mine common transogen faster than an epic specialty ship designed to mine it lol. T1 vs T1 the squal should win. This has to be a bug lol

[teal harness]

Someone in my alliance said the same thing happened to them. It didn’t happen to me though bot yet at least

[frail gyro]

#💬-general-feedback new arch what a joke for free to play players new arcs on good for one thing people with big wallets scopley need to wake up about ftp players. drop rate is a laugh if they play everyday just to claim 100 days for a new ship great qaulity of life there.

[vast oyster]

NO ONE WANTS NEW SHIPS AND MORE GRIND!!! Fix the bugs, they are game breaking.

[spiral stump]

That's intended. Spend on the ship and give Scopely $$$. Why do they need to balance anything?

[clever arrow]

The dailies for mining got wiped out. Please fix it. I had them done before the update and they were reset.

[grim arch]

Nothing about new arc or anything but just game in general.

I started this cause I was looking for a more laid back time. To be honest with you, CoD, R6, LoL are more laid back. The toxicity on some servers is staggering and just continues with no recourse. You can say the same for the games a listed but big difference is 10mins-2hrs match times and your onto new people. STFC has people grouped sometimes for years. Its honestly sad a game revolving around Trek can be just as bad if not in most cases worse than the before mentioned titles I listed. Just some overall general feedback.

[buoyant vine]

Can't drop everyone's shields unexpectedly. You announced and set a shield, then removed it with no heads-up to your players. 😮‍💨

I agree it was a long shield. Perhaps wasn't needed for its original intent anymore. But that doesn't really matter, can't treat your players like that.

[worn sorrel]

@tidal notch I am trying to DM you for some advice, can you please DM me? Thank you!

[teal harness]

Well good thing you sent out a message if a bit late but boy can you be more condescending. It was YOUR mistake in overriding the tsunami shield with the maintenance shield. The least you could do is admit your mistake and be a bit contrite.

[sleek sparrow]

Thanks for the comms on this, but it totally misses the point. People thought they had a 24 shield up (irrespective of its initial intention) and planned accordingly. The really sad thing is you know this and are just spouting corporate cow excrement.

[unkempt osprey]

So just to be clear, everyone who logged out last night seeing the gold shield duration and not choosing to put up a shield, they're just SOL? I gotta say, this is complete garbage customer support. You don't need to ask if the shields will be replaced, you need to TELL them to replace the shields. Players rely upon the game to give them proper feedback so that they know when they need to put up their own shields, and the decision to not extend the gold shield to its original duration prior to maintenance is a major disservice to your customers.

[graceful quail]

Regarding the shortened golden shield you referenced here: #⭐-official-announcements message It doesn't matter that the original purpose had been satisfied. There are people who relied upon your action and you've shown yourself to be unreliable. You're the administrators of a game. A game. And you're literally the ones who are responsible for making the game fun. While I am personally unaffected by it, your excuse for forgetting to maintaining that longer shield (or not having a mechanism to preserve it) is not accepted.

[woeful nymph]

Clawing back a shield after people are likely at work for a day is completely tone-deaf. If they had any clue those shields were going to be 'replaced", they would have put up a standard shield. Bad anti-player decision

[vivid nebula]

Deplorable that they are now gaslighting everyone about the shields, simple fact is people lost time they expected to have!!

[verbal adder]

POOR communication on the shields!!!! Giving something and taking it back with no warning-when it can result in a complete loss of rss is poor indeed.

[sleek sparrow]

I agree with this except where you say it's a decision. It's a lack of attention to detail and a lack of care. No one decided to do this, there just wasn't anyone around competent enough to stop it happening.

[unkempt osprey]

Would the game ever cancel out a shield I manually applied? Say I put up a 3-day shield at the start of incursions to protect my station during incursions, would it ever get cancelled out after one day because it "fulfilled its purpose"? No, of course not, the shield would last for exactly as long as it said it would.

If it was actually intended that the 7-day peace shield would be cut short, it should've been announced in the first place.

It wasn't intended though, was it? The 7-day peace shield was overwritten by the 8-hour shield after maintenance and it was just a complete oversight on the part of live site operations who are unwilling to own their mistake and apologize to the playerbase. Have a little humility and own the mistake, it will go a long way to foster trust within your community.

[fluid mist]

pretty bad that it's not even a bug that did this issue it was a purposely thought out action which was directly against what was said when the weather issue started we're giving out a 7!!! day peace shield not 5 days and 22hrs. We aren't asking for an extention really we're asking for the time that was taken from what we were promised but it won't happen because let's be honest after the first 24hrs had gone by someone at HQ probably said hey they weren't really hit we have to make those bases be able to be raided somehow but how....

[opal crane]

The removal of the Cease Fire shields while there was STILL time on them is absolutely bonkers. "We didn't extend them" Yeah.... you cut them short! What a clown show.

[signal adder]

WOW, that announcement.. just wow. You give people a shield, and then remove it, and act like you didn't just screw people over, crazy

[scenic delta]

Please stop with all the pings. It's sounding like a pinball machine.

[gaunt raptor]

again, another arc, with 0 interest in. Way to go Scopes, guess all the people that closed their accounts last month didn't teach you a single thing.

[tidal notch]

Going to try and slow them down or group them together.

[carmine marten]

Hammy, the announcement on shield is completing ignoring AND dismissing the issue. You took away people’s shields, plain and simple, without warning. If people were planning on being gone today, well, sucks to be them when they come online later and are raided to nothing. Because the shield they had (regardless of intent or origin) was taken away

[woeful nymph]

My point was that Scopely could have just put up a peace shield with the same remaining duration as the 7 day one they replaced, but they took the anti-player route and just lazily replaced it with the standard one. This is going to leave a lot of folks open to being raided. Enjoy the tickets Scopely.

[vast lintel]

We have 20 players with shields down right now due to this "purpose was served"....

[sleek sparrow]

Honestly this shield issue response should be studied for how not to deal with an error.

1. Make a basic error but have easily enough time to easily fix it
2. Ignore multiple people complaining.
3. Finally release misleading and gaslighting comms
4. Return to ignoring complaints.

Just give everyone a 24hr shield and apologise. It's really that simple.

[scenic delta]

Sorry. Selected wrong emote.

[tacit wind]

It's just baffling that you would take players shields and then say "oh well, purpose was served." Completely tone deaf response. Can't wait to see all the angry feedback from people who got raided because they thought their shield would be up.

[fluid mist]

it's prolly too late now as the game has been out of maintenance 8hrs now and they did nothing until like an hour ago in bug channel then ping in announcements to make sure ev1 knew they weren't fixing it. If they were gonna fix it that shoulda happened like after the first hour the game was active it's no longer a bandaid situation of replacing it more like its a grease fire now and nothing gonna stop it.They should've just let the peace shield run out and forget about putting the 8hr one on tbh .

[random folio]

How do they cut 20+ hours off a gold shield and then say they won't do anything about it?

[sleek sparrow]

They can put up a golden shield without being in maintenance, they did it to put the 7 day shield up in the first place (although very late even then). They had to put 8hr shields up for regions who didn't have the 7 day one. Nothing stopping them adding a 24 shield across the board right now. But it's the right thing to do, so they won't.

[fluid mist]

hence why I said a grease fire and nothing can be done since historically in this game anything thats come this close or worse in player sentiment has never been accepted or taken as fair. I'm not trying to defend scopley or playerbase just that they made the call they did and nothing they decide to do now will rewind the clock to make players happy. Is it fair well I really can't use the proper words in here but no it isn't. Is our anger towards hammy or other cm's fair no it isn't Is the anger we feel towards scopley on what happened fair yes it is but not the words we're using.

[random folio]

And those of us that left for work thinking we had a long enough shield and come home to our base raided are just out of luck I guess?

[spiral stump]

Hence why you never rely on Scopely's shields.

[tidal shale]

This is more interesting than the content of this arc ( and last arc)

[dusty portal]

The gold shield debacle is so Ferengi

[sleek sparrow]

Whilst I'd usually agree that we shouldn't be pointing anger about issues at the CMs etc. In this case Hammy put his name to the tone deaf comms and has ignored the response to it. I think it's fair he get his share of the blame here.

[fluid mist]

well thats why scopley has all those great packs in the store for those players. They're banking on someone getting raided getting extremely upset and in that emotional state someone gonna buy a pack they wouldn't normally and then that's a win for scopley.... For example this is arc launch day how often is cm's this silent considering it's a weekday not weekend when scopley doesn't work and cm's usally aren't as frequently online either yet compared to mostly any other arc since its inception it is eerily silent in here they prolly know how volatile it is right now so they being safe and just being silent for the most part until anger settles down rofl

[tidal shale]

Just like how a genuine question was asked (not rude either) and nothing but silence

[unkempt goblet]

Explain to me how we are to know in the future that shields aren't going to randomly be cut short, be they player applied or any future gold shields. It's actually awful to any players who are not planning on being around 24/7 to think they are shielded until Wednesday and then have a full day of shield cut. Does this mean I am never allowed to take a vacation where I can't be constantly checking this game or I'm going to get raided for daring to take any time away? No one asked for an extension of the gold shields. The upset is because they got removed prematurely with no notice for no reason other than you decided they were unnecessary. And a week ago, sure. A lot of us felt it was unnecessary. I wasn't getting hit by a tsunami in the Pacific when I'm in Pennsylvania (I even made a joke to the extent of "man, that's one heck of a tsunami if it's gonna reach from the Pacific to hit me way over here in PA"), but I also don't like the idea that you're just gonna no notice disappear my shield on me while I'm asleep either and tell me that "oh you didn't need it."

[torn blade]

While I understand the 7-day shield was out of an abundance of caution, shortening it with no preliminary in game notice was a dirty trick. It leaves people exposed who thought they were safe. It is an unfair way to treat the player base.

[teal harness]

Greetings our esteemed wallets,,,, no customers (you free to play lot can ?off).
We overwrote the tsunami cease fire shield with the shorter maintenance cease fire shield. This wasn’t a mistake on our part it is just an undocumented feature.
To those of you who say this isn’t fair well sorry we can’t be chuffed to care just deal with it. It’s not like anyone who mattered hasn’t already broken their tsunami shield. If your base gets raided use it as a learning opportunity to not trust us,,,, no no I mean spend more often and devote every waking moment to our bug ridden cash cow so you won’t miss things like this.

Well cheers and stop complaining so much people don’t like whiners. And remember stay dry.

[pliant tapir]

And waiting until the shields dropped to notify people doesn't make things any better.
There are people who log off during maintenance and head to bed.

[rough pier]

Put the gold shields back now. Anything else is incredibly dishonest.

The announcement is a lie. The issue isn't extending the shield. The issue is that the shield was cut short. Players were given a promise, and are relying on that promise. You are now revoking that promise, breaking that game mechanic.

Trying to ex post justify is embarrassing. You guys screwed up. People pointed out in advance that maintenance shields would probably overwrite the storm shields and to plan for it. You didn't. The predictable thing occurred. People hours before maintenance shield warned you. You could have acted. You didn't. Now you're pretending it was the intended behavior. It obviously wasn't. We're not fools.

It's simple to code some logic along the lines of, if gold shield exists and is >8hr don't apply shield, else apply 8hr gold shield. You didn't. Lesson learned. Now you can fix your server logic moving forward.

In this case, though? Apply the shield. Don't be stupid. Don't be dishonest. Just undo your mistake. Do it fast, before more players get unfairly raided and flip out on you.

[unkempt goblet]

I started when there were ~6 hours left on the shield to notify my team trying to get people to actually be shielded if they weren't gonna be around but here's hoping they got the messages.

[unkempt goblet]

The dumb thing is, the gold shield logic doesn't even follow regular shield logic. If I have a new 1/3/7 day shield up, the game physically does not allow me to apply an 8 hour shield. Any shield I apply that overlaps must be longer in duration than what is left on my current shield clock. So they already know how to code this for player applied shields. They just apparently fail at coding it across the board which would be the smart thing to do. Instead, they're refusing to own their mistakes. You have 2 out of 3 of your game regions affected by this issue.

[formal bay]

An official announcement to answer the angry mob of those raided due to the shield cancellation would work too…

[silver laurel]

Cutting the original tsunami gold shield short with no advanced notice with this update is an atrocious breach of trust <@&509690795536941056>. And the tone-deaf/gas-lighting response to player feedback in the announcements channel is appalling...glad I checked in for 2 seconds while at a funeral today...

[tidal notch]

https://tenor.com/view/long-sigh-dan-levy-david-david-rose-schitts-creek-gif-20255945

[snow dew]

<@&509690795536941056> the tsunami shield issue is a great example of how scopley continues to both fail at communicating and fixing issues. You would not have as big of a backlash from players if you'd informed us ahead of time that you were shortening it. Which just FYI is a bad idea to Ever do.

However, instead once again after making mistakes you doubled down on it, which I guarantee will cut the number of people willing to spend this month. If you had just let the shield expire at the originally communicated time no one would be complaining.

To make matters worse you response acts like it expired when you said it would originally rather than a full day early. Which will only increase our outrang and make us vote with our wallets against scopley.

[rich elm]

"Scopely !cares" ™

[dawn flame]

I am raiding and if I get complaints, I'm telling them to open a ticket

[random folio]

They couldn't communicate early because they didn't think about it. Instead, someone was like "oops, we overwrote the tsunami shield. Let's tell them it was intended"

[haughty sail]

I'm sure you're missing out on loads of money by not giving them the 1 day shield, oh wait... no it doesn't cost you a thing to get it back up but by NOT doing it it's costing you players, and a lot of them too

[rare vale]

As soon as I realized they would be doing maintenance before the tsunami shield expired, I just had a feeling the maintenance shield was going to override the tsunami shield.

Now, tons of people are loosing RSS during a time they were told they were safe under the gold shield. Scopely needs to put the shield back up for those who expected to be safe and replace any lost RSS for affected players.

[unkempt goblet]

I get it, mistakes were made. The correct response when you do that is "hey, we made a mistake. Here is how we are going to fix it and make it right."

The message that went out today was "no, what do you mean? Of course we aren't fixing this, it's unnecessary."

That's why we're mad. And it took hours to even get that.

[tidal notch]

The comms was on me. I got that post up later than planned.

Also, we know this is a very sensitive topic and we’ll be handling it with more care and thought going forward

Just to be clear: the goal has always been to help the players who could have been impacted by the tsunami. This was also the first time we tried something like this as a preventive step, and we've learned a lot from it.

[devout pivot]

It’s obvious that any peace shield Scopley gives always overwrites any previous peace shield they gave previously. And that’s what happened. Instead of taking the lazy way out, perhaps rewrite that code to allow them to stack when yall do this.

It’s a small step for the right direction

[olive summit]

Looks like its 84 days for squall, if u do all the missions 22bps plus 10 bps from code

[wise knoll]

Transogen consumable ship efficiency doesn’t work correctly. Someone see this?

[tidal shale]

<@&509690795536941056>

[tidal notch]

I'll pass this on.

[fierce flicker]

basically they took the parts we enjoyed about the Exborg and paywalled it, you konw for the players....lame

[fallow widget]

i was hoping we could semi-go back to the cube days and get like half the blueprints in the elite battle pass at/near the end, so at least we would only have a month wait.. i'm still getting GS31.. 🙁

[formal bay]

The right way to handle this is to refund the rss to the players that were raided due to scopely’s error in judgement. Thats thousands if not tens of thousands of players. You might want to pack a few dinners and some no-doze. It’s gonna be long week!

[vivid knoll]

"Shields were meant to be temporary" does not mean scopely will take them away without notice.

People were expecting that shield to be there and may not be chronically online to know it changed.

[olive summit]

I’ll say even spenders should skip the ship unless ur willing to buy multiple packs to upgrade, the g3 refined epic payout is just terrible vs the cost to pull the artifacts/exos

[fierce flicker]

they realized that made the players happy, and the devs have been instructed to prevent that. (based on the last few arcs experience) its "more grind, more pay and more screen time, less enjoyment, less players, less spending time not on game" that's their QoL improvements list.

Prove me wrong if you disagree.

[tidal shale]

Why? Any particular reason? Because your silence on the matter is speaking volumes for you. I was hoping you could give a answer without the players jumping to conclusions

[sleek sparrow]

So are you going to give everyone impacted a 24 shield to get them back to where they started or not? Yes or no?

And just for the record, the issue with the comms really wasn't about the timing, it was the fact it was tone deaf and dishonest and I think you know that.

[devout pivot]

If Scopley wanted to be transparent. The individual who made the decision should be named. Don’t hide behind the CM`s

[glacial spruce]

I actually asked last week about how the gold shields were going to work with the maintenance. I was told we would have them the full 7 days by another player on this channel. I was hoping one of the CMs would correct that if it was wrong. Obviously that was too much effort.

[vivid knoll]

The problem is they are just lazy. Don't take time to write a bit of code to not overwrite a longer maintenance shield with a shorter one. So now they deflect and blame players for being upset.

[raven locust]

Why the shield was there is actually irrelevant. People who would have shielded didn't because they foolishly believed something Scopely told them. Your message reads as telling folks 'that's not what the shield was for' and 'sucks to be you if you thought a free shield was an actual free shield' is a great way to alienate people.

[oak hawk]

Gold Shield ended early .... this is another broken promise ....

[snow dew]

To be clear the issue isn't just that you guys didn't communicate that you were shortening it, but that anyone who trusted that the shield would last the duration promised will lose resources. No shield provided should ever be removed early unless it is done by players actions. If I choose to break a gold shield fine, but even if the impact was not what you guys expected players will plan off of shields being active.

[tacit wind]

Just saying, a 24 hour shield won't make up for all those resources that got raided because they thought they were safe for a day. If the people at Scopley had a clue they would have just restored the shield to what it was supposed to be, as soon as the shields dropped. But no, they had Hammy make that statement and threw up their hands, as if there was nothing they could do.

[sleek sparrow]

Throwing one junior person under the bus rather than another isn't really transparency the issues aren't individuals it's culture and that comes from the top.

Also no one made a decision, they overrode the longer shields by accident either because someone didn't understand the old shields would be overridden, or they didn't know/remember they were up.

This is, as it often is, a mistake made multiple times worse by a failure to fix it, then lying about it via comms.

Just give everyone a 24hr shield and say SORRY.

[devout pivot]

Few people care about decisions or consequences if there is zero accountability.

[unkempt goblet]

We are 2 hours and counting past where a simple sorry does the trick. Players have been getting raided because they were told they would still be shielded until ~18 hours from now and had their shields removed with no notice whatsoever. Across what, 60% of the servers for this game if not more? That's a significant number. I know there aren't as many APAC servers as the other two regions, but I feel like there are enough US servers to make up the difference.

It's one thing to make an error. It's another to try to gaslight your player base when you make a mistake into thinking that it's somehow our fault for not planning for your mistake. Every other game I play manages to somehow do this better. It's never this level of dumpster anywhere else.

[carmine marten]

Hammy, at its core, removing shields is not a comms issue. Removing the shield is the issue. You never ever ever ever remove shields! Your people should have known better.

A+ on preventative shield in the first place. You acted quick on a disaster that happened and that’s awesome. You got some flak from people who thought it was too much but whatever. You showed care. Sure learn and try to improve next time but you were trying to take care of players.

But after that shield went out, full stop, the intent stopped mattering. Nothing at ALL matters, beyond, people had a shield. No other context needed. They had a shield. And scopely took it away. People had a shield they planned on and it was forcibly removed. If you or the overlords can’t recognize or admit that then things are pretty gosh darn messed up.

[toxic sinew]

It is simply wrong to remove a shield already deployed. It was further wrong to not fix that issue when it was brought up to your attention by several players.

[raven locust]

Who here remembers when Netflix lost 3/4 of its stock value in two quarters because they hired a communications manager who didn't know how to write? https://annieduke.substack.com/p/netflix-and-qwikster

[toxic sinew]

As for how Scopely might reimburse players impacted by the shield issue; I think EFRs or RSS tokens as well as a few extra 1 day or 3 day shields would go a very long way to amend the mistake, as well as the futher mistake of not fixing the gold shield in a timely manner.

[opal crane]

I think someone should do a wellness check on Hammy. Scopely forcing him to say some crazy things in the #⭐-official-announcements channels KNOWING how the community won't believe a word of it..... Blink once if you're in danger. 👀

[rough pier]

I'm very confused. You're admitting the comms were bad but you're still lying. Obviously you didn't adjust the shields after applying them bc the disaster turned out to be less severe. You screwed up. A maintenance shield overrode an existing shield for people who still had it. It was obviously not intended behavior. It wasn't announced in advance. Even if it had been announced in advance on Discord, there was no way for players in game to plan around it. Even an in game announcement doesn't work because players might choose not to open the game on the assumption that the shield was holding!

You messed up. Tell the decision makers to slap a shield on now to remediate the damage. Every minute you spend pettifogging and lying means more players losing more resources.

This dishonesty is very disappointing. We are not stupid consumers. It obviously wasn't some poorly coordinated plan. It's an oopsie and for some reason you don't want to fix it. Just fix it. C'mon now.

[unkempt goblet]

Taking things back that you gave to players is a terrible idea. Full stop.

As soon as the error was identified, it should have been fixed. I know we didn't need them due to a natural disaster.

We needed the gold shields because you, the company, told players last Wednesday that we, the players, would have 7 days of gold shields. That is why they were necessary. Not because of a natural disaster. But because of a social contract between you, the company, and us, your player base/customers/whatever you wanna think of us as.

It's dishonest. It's a bait and switch. That's the issue.

[sleek sparrow]

He's a grown man, he didn't actually have to post that giant steaming turd pile and he certainly didn't have to follow up by pretending the issue was timing rather than content and then run off again.

I'm 99% sure there was no decision to remove the shields, the new shield overrode the old one and no one cared enough to stop that happening or put in place a work around. I don't think this is a machiavellian plan to drop shields for whales, I just think it's standard Scopely incompetence, with standard terrible Scopely follow up and communications.

[toxic sinew]

Hanlon's razor in a nutshell. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by inadequacy

[opal crane]

That's definitely probably true. I've just seen enough things that Scopely does that is 100% intentional for being anti-F2P-player and pro-whale to remove this as an option.

[formal bay]

I’m just going to leave this here… 🤔🤷‍♂️ obviously shields are just a myth to make us think this is more than a money-grab game for the scopely overloads. We see you…we see you!

[tranquil ferry]

We dont like it when you create a problem the 200 ships we already have cant handle. We dont like you creating a new ship to overcome the problems you create. Nobody wants a new ship for every sector of space. People play this game for the classic ships. Figure it out, this is absurd

[toxic sinew]

It's entirely possible someone above Hammy made the decision(s) and he was simply tasked with relaying it. Nothing malicious on his part...but not ideal either for trust building or trust keeping. I think there should be stronger procedures in place to ensure these situations don't arise, or when they do rarely arise, that they can be swiftly amended with a CM team decision and not dragging the entire upper manglement suite out of their morning cup of coffee or whatever.

I will reiterate again I think Scopely should make this right again too. As for how Scopely might reimburse all players impacted by the shield issue; I think EFRs or RSS tokens as well as a few extra 1 day or 3 day shields would go a very long way to amend the mistake, as well as the futher mistake of not fixing the gold shield in a timely manner.

[urban verge]

Its truly incredible to see that despite how poorly this Arc has been going. Its not enough that the new ship is 100$ but now we also have an at launch skin that's only obtainable for another 100$ to make the squall better when its already pretty lack luster. This is past "out of touch" this just pure greed. You couldn't even wait a week or two to release the skin so it wasn't as obvious? lol.

Also pushing everyone to move towards g6 then releasing a ship in g3 that will take a very long time to become G6 comparable seems so nuts to me. Of course unless you drop 100s-1000s of dollars to upgrade the ship to make it useful for g6 sooner. Aka the G6 tax. Our reward for going up higher is ships taking more and more to get to the level you wish us to be at lol.

[toxic sinew]

The fact of the matter is simple; As a player I should be able to trust with 100% certainty that all shields should work exactly as they are described on the tin; and not arbitrarily get removed or lowered without advance warning of the event.

Today Scopely harmed that trust and Scopely must repair that trust somehow.

We shouldn't be bleeding players every arc due to these miscommunications or mistakes in the first place...communicate mistakes quickly and make them right quickly because they're not going to go unnoticed by the player base.

[waxen tinsel]

This response is still unbelievably dismissive of the concerns of many many players who checked their shield yesterday and verified the time remaining.

Do better.

[sleek sparrow]

If your employer is forcing you to lie on their behalf, change employer. At some point take some personal responsibility.

[undone relic]

This Arc is awful, but it won’t matter to Scopely because enough people will throw $200 at it anyway. That’s the real problem, they don’t need to make it good, they just need to make it exclusive enough to trigger FOMO. People justify the spend, Scopely sees the revenue, and the cycle repeats. It sends the message that poor design, lack of communication, and paywalls are acceptable as long as the price tag gets paid. Until enough of the player base stops spending on broken content, we’re just going to keep seeing more of the same.

[devout pivot]

True. To a point. They knew what would happen. Anyone who doesn’t believe that is naive

[azure oriole]

Any plans to bump up the number of gas/crystal/ore nodes in g6 space? Starting to get crowded.

[toxic sinew]

This is how you get some random 'Joe from Sales or Accounting' assigned to the job; and I promise those people will be even more tone-deaf and unhelpful than any of the CMs past or present. Read some Dilbert; It will enlighten you.

[undone relic]

It’s human nature to want to keep up, to stay competitive, especially in a game like this where time and progress are everything. Scopely knows that, and they exploit it. They don’t need to deliver quality, they just need to dangle power in front of people who’ve already invested too much to fall behind now. It’s not about fun or strategy anymore, it’s about who’s willing to pay more to stay relevant. And that’s a brutal shift from what this game used to be.

[sleek sparrow]

I'm not convinced it's really possible to be more tone deaf than today's attempt and I've worked with some very honest sales and accounting people.

[teal harness]

Does he even get paid for this or is he another ‘volunteer’

[mossy kernel]

how do we know there arent multiple ‘hammies’ that behave similar

[undone relic]

Oh, I don’t know, give it a few more arcs and I’m sure Scopely will find a way to prove there is a level of tone deafness we haven’t seen yet. Maybe next time they’ll let someone from Legal write the patch notes and someone from HR handle PvP balance. At this rate, nothing would surprise me. But hey, if the current strategy is "let the CMs take the heat while upper management hides behind a curtain of apathy," then mission accomplished, I guess? Or do we think this is just the new normal, every arc is broken at launch and patched later if people yell loud enough?

[unkempt goblet]

To be clear, I am very much certain that they were unaware the maintenance shield would override the tsunami shield. Where I am assigning blame is how they handled the aftermath. They sat there all day and heard for hours on end about how the players were upset about this sudden reduction in shield length and instead of actually owning their error or taking any steps to rectify the situation, they did actually nothing and allowed idk how many hundreds of players across dozens of servers who get raided while they all believed they were still shielded. You then get an announcement more or less treating us like we're being entitled for wanting the shields we were originally promised 6 entire days ago to stay for their full advertised duration and trying to gaslight us into thinking that they were unnecessary. I'm assigning blame not with the original screw up but that it wasn't handled in post even remotely well. As someone who has done customer service for two decades, if the cost to your company is minimal, you do what you can to make it right with your customer and the cost of a 24 hour shields that we should have already had to begin with until your programmers removed them from our stations is negligible.

At this point, anyone on a US or APAC server who got raided today due to gold shield loss is probably due back everything they lost.

[opal crane]

I'm quite positive Hammy is a proper employee of Scopely. He's not a moderator. From my understanding, his role is to essentially be PR for Scopely to us. An honestly thankless job as I assume he's the middle man between them and us for all of the community to abuse him. When we're angry and not spending money, they blame him. When we're angry at them, we blame him. I do feel for the guy.

[teal harness]

And not in the spirit of trek

[devout pivot]

Hammiee needs valid points to bring back to the powers that be Not criticizing him personally

[unkempt osprey]

Scopely is just once again proving that we can't trust them. They say we'll get 7-day peace shields, then they cut them short. They don't apologize, they don't admit a mistake, they just go back on their word.

[sleek sparrow]

How about, please don't make me lie for you again? It's not like this is the first time.

[undone relic]

The original mistake isn’t even the biggest issue here. Things happen, oversights occur, especially during maintenance and coding where you sometimes don't know the outcome. But it’s the way they handled the aftermath that stings. There was a full day of player feedback, confusion, frustration, and they just stayed silent or downplayed it entirely. And now we’re in the familiar place again, hoping for some kind of compensation, but knowing deep down it’ll probably be another chest with items that don’t even come close to covering what was lost. A couple speedups, maybe some rss tokens, nothing that actually helps the people who got hit the hardest. It’s not just about the materials or the raids, it’s about trust. About feeling like if something goes wrong, they’ll have our backs. And every time they choose to ignore or minimize it, that trust gets chipped away even more. People don’t expect perfection, just accountability and some kind of effort to make things right. That’s what’s missing. And I think a lot of us are just tired of having to lower our expectations every time.

[opal crane]

Anybody personally attacking Hammy can get bent, in my book. I know I'm not well liked by the admin people here (though Jess is my favorite and Hammy is aight 🤪) but they're quite literally just people doing their job to the best of their abilities with the limited tools Scopely is giving them.

The fact that Scopely is straight up saying that they knew what they were doing is absolutely wild to me. They said it was intentional and people are trying to act like it's just belligerence and not malicious makes no sense to me. Was it because a whale cried? Maybe, probably not. But if we take his message at face value... It was 100% malicious by Scopely. (Not Hammy)

[teal harness]

I mentioned the shortness of the shield within minutes of the server coming out of maintenance and was told yes it was shorter and no there were not going to do anything about it. So they did know.

[unkempt goblet]

That's where I'm at on this. Instead of owning this mistake and there being any level of accountability, it's been the opposite and just when it seemed like maybe we were being heard, the gaslighting started.

[teal harness]

I met Scott Adams long before he became a darling of the MAGA crowd just when he was starting to become popular at a talk at a local community college. He was an arrogant #$&* even then. A total jerk. To me and the crowd.

[devout pivot]

It wasn’t a whale crying. Just stop 😂
It was bad timing. The 7 day overlapping the maintenance. They knew it would happen.
I’m more upset about the average joe who micromanages his game. Even the shields.
He has a 5 day stretch of 12 hr shifts. Was gonna use a couple 3 days strategically. But he landed on a 7 day by chance.

“Wow. I have a free 7 day that expires a few hours after my last shift. This is perfect”
NOw he’s probably being raided and busting his hump at a factory

That’s why I’m upset.

[sleek sparrow]

Scopely have a terrible corporate culture and that impacts players and much more so people who work for them. That said, personal responsibility is a thing, you can refuse to knowingly lie to people, that's a reasonable moral position to take and for us to expect.

I wouldn't mind but it was such a blatant lie, if you're going to lie at least put some effort in to it.

[undone relic]

I get what you’re saying, and I don’t disagree with holding people accountable but at the same time, it’s his job, and he’s probably just doing what he’s told. If he pushes back too hard or refuses to go along with it, they’ll just find someone else who will. That’s how these companies work. We don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. Maybe he’s got a family, a mortgage, bills to pay. Not everyone’s in a position to fall on their sword for the sake of player trust. Doesn’t make it right, but I get it. Sometimes survival means staying quiet and doing what you’re told, even if it sucks.

#FreeTheBoop

[unkempt goblet]

Honestly, my comments in this channel aren't even 100% my own frustrations either. I'm the admiral of my alliance. I represent the frustration of not only myself, but the 93 other players in my alliance who are made about it too. They're wondering what they're about to randomly have disappeared from them next because it's "unnecessary".

[sleek sparrow]

Then he needs to get significantly better at telling lies, because today's efforts were terrible and really an insult to everyone's intelligence.

[tulip dune]

At this point, what I WANT to do is throw up a 30 day shield and skip this entire arc. But I can't do that when Scopely can decide to drop our shields whenever they choose.

[cyan isle]

I want a refund. It’s a joke. Mines as fast as a Botany Bay after research. There is no 15000%

[grave hawk]

Good afternoon scopely simpletons! Way to design a completely, in utterly trash Arc 🙂. You guys have done more to save me money, and give me back more free time than any intervention ever could have done LOL. Way to listen to the players! Quality of life! Sure buy a ship 🙂. Reducing grinds? More interesting gameplay... Let me introduce you to more mining! Just bloody wonderful. Oh you said you wanted additions to the archives and maybe G5 scrapping.... Or maybe bulk refines from the faction store! Nah... Just buy the damn ship. It'll take care of all your problems lol.

[worn vault]

The discovery should be included in all these efficiency reworks. It’s the literally the slowest grind in the game

[sleek sparrow]

It's about five clicks a week, hardly a grind

[burnt gazelle]

Many of you noticed the shorter duration of the ceasefire shield after today's maintenance. These shields were originally deployed to support players affected by natural disasters; they were intended to be temporary.

We did not extend them further, as the initial purpose has been fulfilled.

Need to tell us this stuff IN ADVANCE you gonna hear a lot of barking about being raided

[sleek sparrow]

It wasn't planned in advance, it was a mistake and instead of acknowledging and fixing that mistake, they lied instead.

[burnt gazelle]

I'm glad the game brings you so much Joy. Do you slam your hand in a drawer while downloading the updates?

[acoustic geyser]

We did not extend them further

We didn't ask for them to be extended further, but keep the longest one would've been more community friendly me thinks

[dusky brook]

I'm loving these chatbots coming to the defense of yet another botched rollout.

[sleek sparrow]

Chat again???

[burnt gazelle]

Yes, I am a chat bot because I sarcastically respond to the whining conspiracy theory nonsense of the unhappiest people on earth, the STFC fan base.

[dusky brook]

7 day shield dropped a day early without warning is NOT a conspiracy ... it's a fact. The fan base should be grateful?

[sleek sparrow]

I'm not sure which bit you think is a conspiracy theory but then I'm also not sure which bit of what you said you think is sarcasm either...

[tropic crown]

Wondering if anybody else is having what keeps happening to me today. My ships keep mysteriously returning to base after I log out, including from token Space. They’re not being destroyed. They’re just showing back up at my base.

[weary elm]

Scopely, if you are going to give shields, leave those shields. Don't swap them out for shorter shields. People work and have real responsibilities outside of this game. It's like you all are intentionally trying to undermine your players.

[ebon roost]

• Auto hostiles that blow up your miner
• Hazard damage that blows up your miner
• Dark space systems you have to first visit in order to send a miner to a mine
• Refinery with absurdly high costs
• New ship that takes 100 days of intense mining and refining to procure
Well done scopely, this really gives the game that nostalgic Victorian work house feel.

[tropic crown]

So wasn’t my imagination about a day magically disappeared from our shields

[weary elm]

Scopely gonna Scopely

[proud garden]

I think you mean scopely gonna lie

[haughty escarp]

You lot need to bring in g5 scrapping , archive the truck load of pending ships before you bring in another.

I dont want to spend a second mining isogen if I can avoid it. Get me a meridian archive and you will probably get my money for your new mining ship.

Same goes for every other ship in the game that is not current. The stella!!! Why are we still doing exchange at all?

[tropic crown]

Some people got cleared out I bet because of this.

[snow dew]

Yes, though not even logging out my ship in slot A has returned to base, 4 times at least without being ordered to, none of its cargo being credited but any tokens spent

[wind olive]

thank you Scopley for dropping my base shield while i was at work. Didn't lose much but that's not really the point. You come up with these events and such that sound good until you think about the consequences. Lose resources and then the repair bill for the ships. Thanks for nothing.

[sleek elk]

Hey trying to get help, on Sunday tried to buy the 49.99 armada control pack, when I clicked the buy button it refreshed to a 99.99 independent archives pack. I immediately contacted support and received a reply on Monday telling me what I already knew that I’d received the independent archives pack. I reiterated that I was trying to purchase the armada pack but was left on read by Charlie. This evening I received a reply back that because I had used several of the speed ups they would not refund or switch packs.

[covert depot]

You need to make a 1 click collection for the faction section like the refinery

[elder hornet]

If arc day is and example of the rest of the days of this arc then scopely is not getting a penny. It use to be interesting to get a new ship that had a story line missions to help get it, ie the Botany Bay. But now there all cash cows and the money is not being spent on content as today just sucked.

[faint gate]

Scopely, seriously. This ship is bull crap. $99 and I can’t even get it to tier 2?? And it is weak against the suliban? I’m constantly repairing and sending it back. It’s a grind, to grind. You’ve got your priorities wrong. You played it up as being the thing to make this arc better, and it just is meh.

[formal bay]

The community backlash over the bad decision to remove the 7-day shield is causing a bigger stir than a while back when your arc update crashed the game for the better part of a week with little more than a few useless shards as “compensation”. So here is some feedback.

It’s not about the reason that the shield was put in place. It’s about the fact that you don’t see a problem with removing a 7-day shield a full day early with nothing more than a single message right as the shields are dropping.

Despite what you think, we your player base, have real lives, and with only a few exceptions, we cannot be logged into the game 24 hours a day. This might blow your mind, but we don’t read every announcement, or watch every video right as they come out.

To be a fly on the wall when the decision was made a scopely HQ, “yeah, the natural disaster is over so I don’t think anyone will mind if we just shut off the shield now instead of tomorrow”. Just like a light switch, in the middle of the day on a Tuesday in the US. Yeah, no one is going to be at work. And sure, if we were smart we would have put up a “blue shield” as well, but why? Surely the gold shield will not drop without warning… WRONG!

This backlash is yours to own, and you’re all to blame scopely. The disturbing part in all of this is you have done similar things for years, with no change. It’s all empty promises and bad decisions at every level.

As many have said, the <@&509690795536941056> are not to blame. They are simply the public face of a series to train wrecks. There are only two types of players left in this game. Those who have invested too much time,effort, and cold hard cash into this game to want to quit, and those who are too new and naive to get out clean while they still can.

At some point I hope the scopely team proves me wrong, but to this point it’s been six years of worsening decisions and problems. Maybe tomorrow….

[winter sigil]

First I lost trust about there being a bye week for incursions. Now I lost trust in the golden shield.

[formal bay]

If this was an honest mistake in the coding of the arc update a better approach would have been to be honest with your player base in the official announcement. 🤷‍♂️

[lethal coyote]

just did the epic transogen revenant efficiency pull but did not receive any borg type o3 solo directives collected 1400 from refinery today and still only had 1400 when I went to start armadas

[finite mural]

it doesn't give solo directives

[random folio]

Add to the bigger issues ... they were told as soon as the arc landed about the shield issue. Yet they still didn't do or say anything for hours knowing that shields would drop early on people and cause lots of raiding and lost rss that could have been easily avoided

[formal bay]

Just in case anyone was wondering if it is possible for scopely to return raided RSS…exhibit A from last week when server 187 was mistakenly included in incursions.

Now, admittedly, on the scale required to make up for the massive amount of servers impacted by the gold shield issue… better get the coffee going. It’s gonna be a minute..

[cyan isle]

Try mining uncommon, common or rare. It literally mines like a maxed out Botany Bay. And that’s after 15000% research. Anyone say false advertising? There are some senators who wanna regulate game sales like this one. This should be exhibit a.

[muted flare]

The Orion refit for the Serene Squall is underwhelming for $99. It only buffs the transogen part of the strongbox and the squall is already immune to the hazard in the new systems so there is no use for the 50% hazard resist. If the refit buffed all of the guaranteed drops in the strongbox then it would be worth $99 since it would be a 30% increase in the drop rate for the ship parts, research materials, and speedups.

[south seal]

@tidal notch any plans to give us the refinery claim back so we can actually pull it without neesing to spend $100?

[brazen raven]

well guess I'll be saving another $20 this month !

[quaint haven]

This is true

[merry comet]

I feel like the Transogen Forge building should give some sort of bonus to mining Epic Transogen. I'm using a T1 Squall and it takes 2 hours to mine enough to do a double pull in the refinery, and that's only after using my Eviscerator to rip as deep into the mining systems as I can get and then juking the chaser so I can use it purely as a miner.

Compare that to other specialty miners of the same tier. A D'Vor, Feesha, NSEA, Botany Bay, Meridian - pretty much any other miner - and they could all mine quite a bit more than that in the same time period.

[marsh jolt]

did you go as high as the ship could reach, park the hostile and mine away? - seems to be the optimal strat

[merry comet]

"...using my Eviscerator to rip as deep into the mining systems as I can get and then juking the chaser so I can use it purely as a miner."

[junior lava]

The lorca fist button is too close on the mobile version of the game to others (shield for example) that it is pressed far to easily. Please move it somewhere else on the screen

just enable the popup that u need to confirm its use

[placid rain]

So, I have my Mining FKR sweeps... and I completed them this morning which was great. BUT... it didn't complete the hazard mining daily, even though the UC transogen was in a hazard system. Why Scopely, why??? 🙁 So now I have to go mine anyway. I mean... make it make sense.

[muted shuttle]

Breaking News***

Having to actively watch miners and reset them every 6 minutes in Trans💩space is not fun.

Take that back to the Over lords.

P.s

The new ship is 💩 and pointless.

[lethal coyote]

my mistake dont know where I got that from

[devout pivot]

Scopley had 8 hours to make it right, but chose not to do anything. That’s what is disappointing. All yall had to do was make the maintenance shield a 24 hr asap, and be done with it.

It’s those decisions that cost you some players. Good players

[grave hawk]

Good morning scopely! It's your daily reminder that you guys are just horrendous at this. Once again, still losing miners to the glitch in trans space.. no, not the new epic.. just the area that you refuse to fix.

[mossy kernel]

You forgot one type of people

The people who only play because they still have good friends in the game

[proud salmon]

These new ARCs really suk, I don't play as many hours as it takes to grind out events, I have a job and it's not STFC. Now the new ship is a miner, wonder how many people didn't buy it due to server wars ?? $100 ship $500 to upgrade it to where it might survive against a OPs 50 player... Not very well thought out IMO...

[keen loom]

Emergency Field Rations for every single day server disconnects equal 75% of logins. Fix the dang lag. Get your servers off E-85 and to an even tolerable level of performance.

[dusky plover]

Why did the day one purchase of the Squal not even get it past T1, all other day one purchases allowed you to get ship to at least T4

[crimson lotus]

I got 2 ideas ya'll. Seperate battle log for PVP and PVE battles. As well as a log of what was opened in the chests, in case you have the "speedup" box checked in settings.

[ornate night]

Not to be pessimistic but might be due to the fact that at T1 even with its own research its only usable for grinding epic transogen. Its awful at common, uc and rare until you tier it up considerably. So there is now an incentive to spend more money to get it to a higher tier.

[dusky plover]

Research speeds it up on the others but the day one packs where always good for T4 as that was the point of the day one packs where always boast the build and get more people to buy

[ornate night]

Thats what i mean. Even with the research your other miners are infinitely better at mining the others than the Squall until you tier it up. If you got it to t4-t5 immediately. It would most likely be a decent miner for the others.

[long obsidian]

Some general feedback that your approach of grinding news ships for 100 days is making this game more and more boring. Enormous grind to get the resources to get to ships which are absolutely limited in usability. In no sense does is ever justify paying 100 euro, dollar or whatever to get the ship.

[nova sierra]

After the patch is before the patch^^
What have you been tinkering with again? After the patch, my ships suddenly take more damage from Exiles than before. Could you scale that screws back a bit? 😊

[tropic crown]

With the magic return home bug I am unable to compete fairly in events, what is being done to fix this? I missing out on rewards because I can’t mine without my ships randomly showing up at my base so why waste time or tokens? Since I am going to miss out on rewards it makes me weaker in the long run compared to other players.

[twin cliff]

What is the explanation for the completely false odds we’re still getting for the P1AT missions?? I’ve just failed 3 rares in a row, all of them with the success rate having 95% odds!! I’m no mathematician, but I’d wager to say that with a success rate chance of 95%, the odds of losing 3 in a row would be extremely low, yet this is far from the first time this has happened. And considering the high price of getting the speedups in either wraith credits or pioneer credits, this is starting to feel like straight up thievery. What gives?? We need more transparency on this, as well as many other things!!

[tropic crown]

Just had yet another ship magically appear back at base. At least this one
Wasn’t in token, because I won’t send one there now it’s a waste of time!

[stray forum]

Nice 👍

[wheat oak]

One in 8000 or 8240 depending on what you're looking at

[twin cliff]

I was looking at 95% chance of success on the Rare P1 Away teams missions. I forget the chances for the critical successes as they varied, but those don’t even matter considering I failed all three in a row, each one with a 95% chance of success.

[wheat oak]

95% chance of success = 1 in 20 chance of failing (5% = 5 in a 100 = 1 in 20). Chance of failing three times in a row is approximately 1/20 x 1/20 x 1/20 = 1/8000.
It's a bit more complicated than that but the actual answer is 8240, so 8000 is near enough. So still pretty rare but not astronomically so.

[keen loom]

Might get banned for this - if that happens it happens. Super tired of players being treated the way we are treated.

https://jobs.revolution.com/companies/scopely/jobs/54668670-community-manager-star-trek-fleet-command

How can anyone possibly look at this and say “mission accomplished?”

Looking at every bullet point here - how can we as players not scream utter failure and want better?

[muted shuttle]

At Scopely, we care deeply about what we do and want to inspire play, every day - whether in our work environments alongside our talented colleagues, or through our deep connections with our communities of players. We are a global team of game lovers who are developing, publishing and innovating the mobile games industry, connecting millions of people around the world daily.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[keen loom]

I was going to write long explanations on every key point under “What you will do” along with a plethora of failure examples, but then decided those players who care enough to read the job description and be as outraged as I am - will have plenty of examples and stories to tell.

[muted shuttle]

It never sits right with me that the CM here forms part of the propaganda. CM’s should not be selling the product to the community.

[keen loom]

It’s part of the job description:

“As Community Manager, you will become a key architect of how we connect with our players, shape the future of player engagement, and elevate Star Trek’s iconic fandom into the next era. This is not just a community presence role—this is a strategic leadership position that sits at the intersection of product, content, player experience, and marketing. We’re looking for someone who understands community not just as a channel, but as a growth engine, a sentiment radar, and a storytelling frontier.”

Further:

“Champion the Voice of the Player, surfacing qualitative and quantitative insights that inform product, design, live ops, and marketing decision-making.”

What sentiment radar? I want to see this. Guaranteed at an all time low.

Where exactly have we seen “Champion the voice of the player?”

[muted shuttle]

It may be part of the job description, but it don’t make it right. You cannot champion the voice of the players, whilst selling them a 💩 product.

[keen loom]

I agree. My point to all of this is:

Where is the accountability?

Player sentiment is at an all time low.

Feedback is provided, and ignored. Never championed.

By all rights, based on the job description, including the lack of communication back to the players (again not being championed) we shouldn’t have any community managers at this point. You cannot read this, and by any stretch of the imagination say that incumbents are meeting expectations.

Boy they sure do know how to change discord display names.

[viscid gorge]

Maybe that's why the job post is up

[whole timber]

Whoever removed the limit of 100 on those PvE - PvP loot chest should get an award !!! That's QoL right there !!! 🥳🥳🥳

[molten shell]

It’s my favorite when this happens.

[muted shuttle]

The job description is impossible to achieve, you cannot be responsible for product development and sales, whilst also being the voice of the playing community. You will always be a slave to the company that pays your rent. The two just don’t mix and are set to fail from the start. That is why when they churn the 💩 out, they just about sell enough and ignore the community and wait for the complaints to stop. You cannot champion judge how bad an arc launch is by the lack of CM presence.

[keen loom]

I agree. You can reasonably judge the same repeated behavior.

[fathom trellis]

<@&509690795536941056> A first world problem which I wish had a QoL fix delivered: Please for the love of god be consistent about removing the claims for things you're done collecting in areas like Mirror refinery, Alliance Tournament Store and Terran Faction Store... I am tired of seeing things that I have or have maxed out showing up still. I have a Vindicator... I don't need to see it, I have the repair primes - I don't need that particle any more.

Some of these items disappear from view when you have unlocked what it needs to unlock but others don't and the inconsistency is annoying - especially since when you're pulling things you might actually accidentally pull the wrong thing and get nada for it.

[elder pollen]

This is happening a lot. every 20-30 minutes seems like. This is a very old bug but it’s harkening way more frequently now. (ios iphone)

[alpine ermine]

It would be helpful if the Alliance Tournament page said when the store was closing not just when the tournament is active, but when the Tournament store is on well.

[hollow plover]

no, that would make it usable

[lusty basin]

It literally told you when the store was closing in your alliance tab that under the alliance tournament event timer

[stark fjord]

dear Scopely, update Master Surveyor BP event to include transogen, we mining enough of it, one would think u would have understood this

[low narwhal]

Dear developers, since you clearly don't understand how you games math works or how much hull health bonus is already available, here's a hint. It's thousands of %. 500% from black ops chapel is not a noticeable difference as stated in your blog, it barely moves the needle

[crimson lotus]

same thing with the borg transwarp efficiency. If it's 100% efficency, and it costs 2000 tokens, it should bring the cost to 0. If it's 50% it would bring it to 1000 (which is what it currently does) learn how to math.

[fluid mist]

that would make sense though and scopley resides in the world of make believe hence entertainment and making sense doesn't exist in their world. Making lots of money does though so maybe eventually they'll understand simple math

[severe basin]

I’m a g6 player that doesn’t spend for me these chests are annoying to pull since I don’t have a lot off hazard protection make them easy for god sake

[distant nebula]

Anyone else notice that the spawn rate for the Suliban Transports/Runners has increased. Makes it difficult for lower G6 player when our ships can't survive very long in the 62+ systems due to the hazards.

[valid grove]

It‘s really convenient how you guys advertize the current arc officers in your recent blog post with max tier values, and completely forget to mention a player will need to spend the equivalent of a small car or play for years to achieve this

[woeful nymph]

<@&509690795536941056> Can you confirm that Black Ops SNW Chapel’s ability is worded incorrectly in game? Gaining rep from FKR hostiles is very different than gaining FRK rep from hostiles!

[vale wasp]

It's rep from any hostile that provides FKR rep.

[lunar ocean]

<@&509690795536941056> I am ops 61. What is going on here?

[woeful nymph]

Can you get them to add the to the list of fixes? It’s really unintentionally misleading.

[waxen tinsel]

You're talking about cost reduction, not efficiency.

Buying a more efficient refrigerator or other appliance gets you more work out of the same amount of electricity, it doesn't zero out that appliance from your electric bill.
