[old seal]

A heartfelt non-apology bleating about how they got it wrong to ruin the player experience blah blah blah....to....Okay let's have a pay to play syndicate event on top of more pay to play content. What a load of utter tripe they spew ! Not so difficult to separate from an average useless politician take no responsibility and accountability.

[vast violet]

Games stability is a complete joke today.

[gray hamlet]

I cant even log on. Loads to 61% and then stops completely

[errant brook]

Hahahaha -no.

This is just another step driving me (us) away from investing time and effort.

[earnest kernel]

Every event should have a free pass. We don't want to pay 27€ for bad rewards. End of the discussion !
Scopely, be less greedy

[grave hawk]

I would just encourage everybody to make the proper choice with their finances. Support things that make them happy.

[burnt viper]

New lvl 60 here. Question on choice rewards is only crystal supposed to have g5 epic in it? I dont see the epic resources for g5 in gas and ore.

[carmine marten]

No event will have epic 5* ore or gas. Choice tokens will never have them. These things are based on packs and the packs they’re based on don’t have the epic. Only epic crystal. So load up on crystal, use converter tokens, even the non-token converter, to get ore and gas where you can

[burnt viper]

Thanks for the quick response and help!

[willow dirge]

Why are these hard? I don’t see a hard event in the entire month.

[worn vault]

That’s an insult to politicians. At least they know how to lie better.

[kind star]

The ptp event clearly shows that the whole video was pure BS. What does Scopely want money for? The new bugs? The old ones that haven't been fixed for months and years? The lags? Having to click 1000 times every day to collect all the stuff because Scopeless is too incompetent for modern gameplay? Annoying events; nobody finds mining exciting!

[grim prawn]

An event we have to pay to participate in?!?! REALLY?!?

[spiral stump]

That was the obligatory BP "We're Sorry" video.

[fallen flare]

Please keep choice tokens running along with the alliance tournament. Despite what scopely has said, it’s the norm, it’s been going on too long now to change this. It’s been a nice quality of life aspect to the tournament and would be harmful to take it away. The precedent has been set, please don’t shoot yourself in the foot.

[mossy harbor]

Mine were extended unless it is a glitch, which I guess is possible.

[olive wraith]

this would be a noce event when there wasn’t a bloody paywall again. scopely thinks that we are all millionars or what??

[thin shard]

I was talking about getting the stuff for new artifacts which is harder for ops 61-64 than for ops 60 in response to Donaghy post (ofc without buying SS etc. 😉)

[steady orbit]

£25 for entry to the syndicate arc/games. Moderate my middle finger to that……

[tawny pawn]

Per day

[spiral stump]

The greed is real.

[slender monolith]

Compare what you get with the Syndicate XP pack, if you were planning to spend on syndicate xp, the events might be better. If you weren’t, then you’re not missing out.

[cyan isle]

Dear Star Trek Fleet Command Team,
I’ve poured my heart into this game, loyally purchasing the battle pass time and again, all for the extra choice tokens that have become the heartbeat of my strategy during Alliance Tournaments. These tokens let me fine-tune my fleet, rally with my alliance, and chase those hard-fought victories—moments that fill me with pride and connection to this incredible community. The recent extension of the Choice Reward store during these events is a glimmer of hope, showing you understand how vital this overlap is to players like me who live for the tournament meta. But if you stop aligning them, it would break my spirit and my wallet—I simply won’t be able to justify buying the battle pass anymore. I know I’m not alone; many of us have built our gaming dreams around this synergy, and losing it would feel like losing a piece of what makes STFC special. Please, keep this lifeline intact so I can continue to support the game I love with all my heart.
Respectfully,
[A Devoted Commander]

[signal adder]

"earned" 🤣 💩

[sleek sparrow]

I don't get the complaints about the pay to play events. It's a business not a charity and people paying to play effectively subsidise those of us who don't want to pay. The video last week had nothing to do with stopping pay to play events, not sure why people are pretending it did. If like me you want to play for free, be grateful for those that are willing to pay to make the game viable. There's nothing in the current pay to play event that can't be obtained by other means, it just takes longer and that's the choice you make. It really isn't necessary to take part in every event.

[modern robin]

This Game is only about opening some chests. But this takes so much time because of the loading times.

[mossy kernel]

You don’t understand it well enough then. You pay to participate in an event that you have to WORK FOR IN GAME that gives you worse amount of rewards than if you just paid the same amount of money for one of their packs….

[unreal jolt]

Once again 🤣

[sleek sparrow]

No one makes anyone pay to participate or buy one pack over another and it's perfectly possible to progress without purchasing anything at all. If you don't think the event offers good value don't pay to participate, if you do, go ahead and pay. Some people like the rewards on offer some don't, if no one pays they'll run it differently next time.

[elfin plume]

Nobody in their right mind pays money to have more busy-work. Spending should be to bypass busy-work, not enable it.

[muted shuttle]

Greedy Scopes GM must want his bonus.

[ashen oar]

Yea This is how you bring ppl to G6 so that hey can break there walet
So bring it back

[vapid grove]

Am I wrong or did we not have pay events in the past that gave 1 day for free and then the rest were paywalled?

[ashen oar]

you know that your game is "screwed" up when you need to add slow mode to your Feedback Page

[sour delta]

I wish scopely sold a game stability pack, I damn sure need it today

[abstract zealot]

yeah thats the ticket events. Dont know why people getting mad at a only pay event. they had them for a while. if doesnt affect f2p so why are you complaining about something that helps the game stay playable for F2P. not every event is for everyone and that is fine.

[verbal pulsar]

Can we get a better Management value out of Ship Repair Tokens? Why would someone burn 5 30 min Tokens for just 2 hrs and 6 minutes of repair? Please stop this short changing

[carmine yew]

Just watched GM Conor's important message.

So you have paused flashpoints and as a replacement to the loss in the Premium mirror dust from the events you have gave us a paid only event to gain the dust and syndicate rep

I love this game but don't think i can take much more

[tropic crown]

Anyone else have the game go down?

[muted shuttle]

Maybe it’s because there has been no ftp events for ages, apart from auto grinding runners and mining in the ever so fun Trans space. Let’s not forget that Trans space was set to revolutionise gameplay and bring servers together. They still have not run one successful Hurak invasion after trying 5 times. They are a joke, that’s the simple truth.

[abstract zealot]

what do you mean there is no new Ftp events for ages? there events every day of the arcs that ftp. none of them needed you to pay to do them. some may have been hard to do but were all ftp possible. (minus those SLB milestones)

[muted shuttle]

Mining in trans space and auto grinding runners for months, cannot be classed as new. Don’t get me started on the failed Hurak 💩. So pt1 and pt2 of this arc has been absolute 💩.

[abstract zealot]

there were events outside of the transogen loop and the invasion. like the ascendant events. on top of that there the 4 bp events and daily ones. do you really need even more events to do with how many loops already there are? plus new events are just reskinned old events either kill triangles/mine/kill armadas. game is limited in what it can do new.

[quaint haven]

Trash reskins of Galaxy Quest arc events.

[muted shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/careful-fanboy-showing-gif-22671115

[warm field]

Bad lag on 53. <@&509690795536941056>

[abstract zealot]

yes hurak is a reskin of galaxy quest just as almost every other event being a reskin. should be use to this games limitations and the lack of creativity from scopley. the last new idea that wasnt just a reskin was realita racing.

[kindred flame]

strapped on my 'high' warp crew and went to go visit a system I've been to before for Fed scouts...only to realize I can't reach it...why?
Transogen space deleted all the interconnections that don't rely on an Ops locked mission 🙃

Maybe don't do that again...

[vapid grove]

They have actually removed the past events that gave people stuff to do, all the old SLB's have not surfaced at all this arc. This arc was the arc of auto grinding, mining and pay. The ascendent events are aimed at forcing you to ops up. Dont forget the fact that we had 1 heroic SMS and slb for the new epic officer this arc. Also I wasnt refering to ticket events, I swear we have had other events in the past that were mostly pay but you got 1 set to encourage you. If you are wondering what events missing we are refering to, FKR rep gain, Chaos tech etc. Also the interm schedule is gonna be dead it is just more of the same thing we have done the last 3 weeks... what happened to the reg stuff?

[vapid grove]

odd question for you have you completed the deep space mission?

[kindred flame]

Which one? If you mean the one to give access to Rare Formation Armadas, yes
edit: I unlocked it at 28 as soon as I finished my Centurion

[somber orchid]

Yes transogen did unlock those paths but don’t think that was intentional so I think they fixed that

[vapid grove]

it unlocks Ops 38, until then deep space is unreachable. it is part of the Gold bordered Ops missions. If not then that is the reason and what HappyVamp said is the reason you were able to get there before most likely.

[kindred flame]

you can still get to deep space before that. Just not the FKR ones.
Either way, it's p silly when you can knock out 10m rep lock in a weekend with a ship you got at ops25, and warp reqs easily reachable in a 28 ship just to not be able to reach half the systems to do your dailies in.

[vapid grove]

It was the FKR deep space that I was refering to as the first pic you posted was Romulan and the second pic you posted was Federation. Other deep space has been added as time went by and is not locked by that misson. Back to your original post tho, if you have not completed Dark space which is available at Ops 38 you cannot reach that section of deep space. When transogen came out they mistakenly changed it and reverted it back since it was not intentional.

[mossy kernel]

i dont know about secretly…

[carmine yew]

A F2P event that helps F2P players is the Wandering Warriors event for example. The event is supposed to be a monthly event yet we haven't seen it for months. Its an injection of much needed Latinum that everyone need to help develop yet Scopley are not running it

[hollow pike]

And why does he hate triangles anyway? The people deserve to know!

[steel pumice]

+1000%

[frosty yarrow]

because the base is 1053000%. Add 1000% to that and its 1054000%

[haughty sail]

Congratulations you've been had by scopey logic 🤣 big numbers but meaningless in 99% of the cases. At least you can use him below deck as a better version of mariner

[delicate nebula]

Hi let play game free play join say who pay to game same game

I’m not pay thes

[swift steppe]

Most of my missions have been "retrieving" since last evening

[muted shuttle]

Yeah, can’t have players getting something they want. They fix the 💩 out of them problems.

[somber orchid]

🤦

[lime zealot]

It is somewhat silly that the Mark III being dependent on Tier, isn't rewarded based on the tier but the level.

I don't say this as someone that didn't level my ship before scrapping... 🙈

[slender monolith]

Oops lol, yea, it has a few quirks in its upgrading. Scrapping based on level, research based on current not max tier reached and Transogen loop efficiency being borked for the Mk crossover tiers.

[half roost]

Any way to get the store open for ferengi credits for another 24 hours?

[red cove]

Wasn't it originally supposed to be still opened? Wtf 😒

[oak hawk]

Your limited time stuff sucks.
Kinds like level locking and every other locks you put in.

So much trying to control the players ... That's what sucks & I don't expect it to change.

[queen valve]

It’s a rip off tactic like the Ferengi whip, you lose rewards the higher the tier. Anything you actually spend cash for in this game shouldn’t have a time limit that will rip you off automatically.

[slender monolith]

No, you’re thinking of the Choice Rewards from the BP

[lime zealot]

It's very stupid.

[ashen oar]

its about time they brought that back

[lime zealot]

Not to mention the refit buffs aren't permanent and need the skins to be reapplied, because that's stupid...

[gentle shale]

I have 0 memory of this event (weird given how much I play but not weird given how poor my memory is). Do you know if this is Ops banded (ie, event for Ops 39 and under)?

[latent timber]

Why scopely..... guess which one i meant to buy

[lean nacelle]

when will we be able to move between servers?

[somber orchid]

Never

[vale wasp]

You can move servers at ops 9- for newer servers. Old servers, it's 12-.

[azure spruce]

So why is Annorax restricted so much in the type of chest loot he affects? In areas where chests are the primary source of specific resources, I'd expect him to be worth using (transogen canisters/containment, chaos modules, champion trophies, etc.).

[somber orchid]

I’d would hardly say he’s restricted

[wild hearth]

Why do the Choice Rewards and Ticketed Event not reward 5* Epic Ore/Gas, but only Crystal?

[vale wasp]

He's not intended to be the officer that takes over for farming chests for all future content. Also, he works on more than specifically stated.

[acoustic geyser]

From prior comments around this topic - they say it's intended. Why? Some weird historical reasons and they aren't changing it. It just incentivises you to pick crystal more so you can upgrade those interceptors and or use choice tokens if you really want other epic types.

[azure spruce]

I certainly would.

G3-G6 parts and refined materials - this is good, although they drop so infrequently and in such miniscule amounts that the bonus is rarely meaningful
FKR Messages & credits - Summoning borg cubes makes the messages irrelevant; FKR credits aren't exactly useless, but they come from a ton of other sources as well.
Hirogen Relics, Mycellium, Exotic Biotoxins, Xindi Scraps, and Fatu-Kray Scraps - 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Xindi Bounties - this is admittedly a prime example of what I'm looking for, but in this case it's one of the worst returns on investment in the entire game (and doesn't scale, ever, for some reason?)
Trellium - Useful when one is starting out farming omega trellium, but that need drops off very quickly. Also, he's not the optimal officer for farming omega trellium in the first place.

I'll note that they don't list Commerce Insignias from the summoned Borg cubes, which is far and away the best use for his CM that I've found to date. But other than this, what does he affect that isn't listed?

Edit: He affects liquid trellium-D, which is also extremely useful. Credit where due.

[rich elm]

lol at "CLARIFYING" statement then adding a bunch of "MAY BE", "CHANCES", "POTENTIALLY" ... might have as well just left that whole section out

[bold marlin]

No, No I don’t think I will.

I’m going to camp at 50 for at least a couple of years for a couple of reasons.

1. $copely want me to and I’m disinclined to anything they would like.
2. I’ve members in my alliance (not all) who wish they stayed at 50 for a lot longer than they did and a couple who wished they stayed at 50. Learning that a 1 day speed up goes from 300 lat to 1.5m, is a massive red flag for me.

[sterile violet]

Arena’s are so miss matched it’s ridiculous. They should be matched by level not power

Ok there needs to be a balance between power and level

[latent timber]

You mean 60? After 60 it gets to the mentioned 1.5 mil lat for 1 day speedup. G5 is still fine (51 - 60)

[bold marlin]

Still not going above 50. It just sounds like too much work. Besides, the way Scopely run it, the game will be dead before I’m ready anyway. Lol

[prime perch]

I have a question what determine if your survey ships is OPC. I thought that if you lose cargo after your ship is wiped out then your ship was OPC. Is that correct or am I wrong. I have someone in my Alliance that is pushing that they where still UPC. They even asked how things calculated.

[umbral ocean]

Does he boost speedups in MU, e.g. does he turn a 15 hour into a 1 day? that would be sweet

[frosty moat]

OPC is any cargo above a ship's protected cargo

[umbral ocean]

unpopular opinion but I don't mind the expensive lat to speed in G6, you can grind for sigma speedups if you want to go faster, adds to the challenge imo, and it's not like the timers remain the same as in g5, upgrade times are cut drastically in sigma world. I actually use way less lat now in g6 than I did before

[patent temple]

This game WAS fun to play for about 4 days. Now it constantly freezes, or constantly shows the "Retrieving" error. I really wanted to keep playing so I've tried repairing, and uninstalling/reinstalling muliplr times with no change. I've tried searching for a way to open a support ticket for days, also with no luck. Seems searching for support just gets you run around in circles. Now after 4 days of fun, it has been 3 additional days of the stupidist BS I have ever encountered. Now even if I could get the game fixed, the complete lack of support and competent management simply makes me want to avoid Scopely at all costs.

[weary elm]

E-mail Support: [e-mail]
Be sure to include your PlayerID!

[prime perch]

Thanks for stating what I believe to be true.

[verbal pulsar]

it is Official. At 39, I cannot progress any further because I cannot unlock a new drydock. The only way to get Shards for this Drydock, currently, is in Transogen Refinery. As I do not have the ship(s) to get the Rare Wrath Credits, I will be at a stand still until things are changed.
The Transogen Dust access in the Foundry has been lo balled again. The last 5 Foundry transactions have not given any Transogen Dust. Please fix this Level Locked mess

[finite mural]

Progressing past 39 has nothing to do with transogen or a dry dock

[neon atlas]

You have to wait until your ascension event and do an epic armada (Eclipse counts)

[acoustic geyser]

Wellllll if you stretch it a bit. Actually yes. The drydock in the augment store is somewhat easier to obtain the higher level you are. That said what they really want are the researches which they can do which gives em drydocks too. I forget the tree maybe station?

[ashen oar]

its G4 event and gives out milions of lat

[thin shard]

G5 is easy nowadays and still enjoyable. If you get bored at ops 50 or finish everything (it's not that difficult, you'll see), feel free to ops up.

It's ops 60 (end of g5), where you need to decide if it's really worth moving up to g6.

[slender monolith]

They got rid of the event/armada a while ago

[placid rain]

What even is the point of these in the refinery? They're just a never ending sink pit of uselessness... please remove them!

[abstract zealot]

look in your research there should of been one that unlocks a new drydock free that has to be built. Fleet commander in station tree.

[cosmic coral]

Your 4* assignment requirements make zero sense, why on earth would Harry Kim be required for Gas Extraction assignment!!!!🤬

[devout pivot]

Another useless post.

If Scopley wants to save this game they need to rethink how a game works. Stop creating content by using a method of monetization as the starting point. You need to create engaging and addictive content with no regard to how it can make money. It’s a mindset

The money will come after. I guarantee it

[steep smelt]

Ignore him 163 - 145 merge was excellent. Job well done guys close the ticket😍

[fluid mist]

if they knew how to do that they'd make more money and not lose all those players they've been losing past 3 months also odds are they'd have at least 50% more positive feedback but what do we know we're just the consumers right....

[opal crane]

Honestly, Scopely has such a toxic relationship with its players.

It started several years back where it seemed that Scopely started taking all of the players frustrations personally instead of taking it as constructive criticism. It seems like a lot of their actions have started leaning towards being vindictive towards the player base any time we riot, demanding they simply put out good content and stop taking actions that are inherently anti-player. It's almost like they're taking it out on us because their owners are putting pressure on them because we're not spending enough on bad content.

Maybe we'll see the day that Scopely decides to stop viewing the player base as the enemy. Probably not.

[devout pivot]

They took a good game design and profiled off it’s design long enough. Instead of actually contributing to its success, they just milked it.
Eventually they will figure it out. But it will be to late unfortunately

[azure spruce]

Morning, all 🖖

So is there any plan (or outline of a plan, maybe just a general discussion, even?) re: adding some of the other rare/epic FT to the FT Refinery? I can't help but notice I'm down to only one rare and one epic left to unlock (both of which i could also get from the AT store), yet my Whip continues to give me shards every day...

And while we're talking about the Whip, are we ever going to address the fact that the rewards are actually less desirable at the highest tiers? Protomatter and bells are far more valuable than any rarity of FT fragments. The % for the Whip refinery are in dire need of adjustment at the top tiers.

[delicate nebula]

I did not pay people who had no money and cannot join the end of a bad thing today thank you. Yeah people got money during the game.

[dawn shore]

How is this still able to happen. Ops 35 with no way of reaching here for a Q trial.

[stone fog]

It's clear the people in charge of this game don't care about it's players. It's been known for years. Now its just blatant.

[valid ridge]

So... Scopely

You finally did it. IA is gone. It's not just F2P players anymore. Now you are now driving away some of the biggest spenders in the game too

So... Where do we go from here? Are you gonna stem the bleeding by actually LISTENING to the very people whose money keeps you afloat? Or are you gonna put the final nail in the coffin yourselves by doubling down on the very things that are now pushing the big spenders away too?

The ball's in your court

[velvet sphinx]

https://youtu.be/Jyah_mUTCIU?si=IX46M2UWhxXpF9S8

[vivid nebula]

Games definitely on a death spiral and scopely only have themselves to blame,

[visual agate]

that is because of your base location. the q hostile spawns upto two systems away from your base system. move your base to lower warp and make sure you can reach every 2 node away system from your own.

[winter sigil]

If they can do it, we all can. 💪

[dawn shore]

I was in Robesi, the only reason that the target system was 2 away is because of a superhighway not available to me. 🤣

[remote flume]

But sigma speedups are free through DTI and MU grinding just saying

[tepid bramble]

And not even remotely in the numbers needed. 🤨

[remote flume]

I’m ops 62 right now so it probably just hasn’t hit that hard for me yet. Just going at my own pace. No need to rush ops. 😄

[balmy shadow]

Incursions on tuesdays when there is no TD's makes sense. Good job.

[grim gust]

<@&509690795536941056> I heard a lot of people are quitting. I haven't been playing much myself. This last arc took the game in the opposite direction I was looking for. If they make the Squall the fastest method of mining all types of transigen and rework it so it can be handled by that one ship. You'll have fixed most of what was broken for me.

[slender monolith]

It is a great annoyance that it's ineffective at mining the non-epic, even with research

[violet elm]

Especially the part with “no filters, pure and honest feedback”.. unlike giving Scopely a watered down version of feedback from here, so it’s not too harsh…

[somber orchid]

Yep another ship that feels lacklustre

[rare lake]

You do realise that none of the hostiles listed are likely to generate G3-6 parts right? If he works against regular hostiles, surely that would be listed. Not that his crew would work for my ships (L64 and hitting L65-66 Klingon hostiles).
Nothing new there though, as I'm meant to be killing transogen ships a hair under 15B from L61 upwards. That apology hopefully will eventually make changes there, but I can see my players are quitting in droves.

[vale wasp]

He works with everything listed in the officer description, and he works on many things not listed. The latter group is explained in more detail in the image I posted.

[civic haven]

Attn: marketing department- If you’re losing players and revenue, rather than having a “buy three packs” event, why not double or triple the number of officer shards in the paid leg of the flash pass without changing the price? Perception is everything, and you all look greedy. Let me be clear - I fully understand the need of a business to make money. I just think this event lacks tact.

[grim gust]

Personally. I don't care about free stuff they give to everybody. I care about time and my personal progression. This arc didn't value my time. I'm not mining with every dock while I'm playing the game. That is not fun. I'm also not baby sitting miners all day. They need to fix the method of transigen aqcuisition.

[somber orchid]

Flashpoint needs a major overhaul too many different lvls of mining needed , hostiles over powered etc

[tepid bramble]

62 as well. And I just let stuff ride. Because there is NO POINT to do otherwise. Really slowing down progress and desire to engage, but it is better than spending half my day farming maybe a day worth of sigma speed ups.

And I will NEVER spend to speed up stuff. Scoply does nothing but punish you for growing.

And Scotty from the mail room and his gas lighting ain’t gonna make change my mind.

Incursion Day. 12 hr shield STILL running, oh look, Base gets destroyed, AGAIN, for the 3rd incursion in a row, WHILE a shield is active. What is the point of a shield, that fails to work during an Incursion, in a level 1-4 system, lose a few more trillion materials. I GIVE SCOPELY 48 HRS TO FIX THIS 💩 OR I QUIT. Support, do you have a SCREENSHOT of this active SHIELD !! (from the 2nd Incursion base destruction) WTAF, who in their right mind screenshots everything they do in a Browser game ??? GET IT FIXED SCOPELY, and quit with the 🐄 💩 "We are sorry" excuses, it didn't work back in 2019, 2020, 2021-2025, it won't work anymore!

I have a proposal: Instead of calling missions (HEROIC) how about you rename them to (PAID PROGRESSION)

[neon atlas]

On items we can repeatedly refine or turn in, they should go to max.itemcount

[acoustic geyser]

Y'all just need some consistency. You have HEROIC events with pay only options. You also have HEROIC events that can be done with some grind. Change the name of one of them to better reflect what players can do instead of bundling them together.

[bitter ocean]

Who wants to bet that STFC goes offline in the next 6 months with all the people leaving

[tepid bramble]

Incursions on a Tuesday are DEAD. People are too busy with work. There's no activity, or not enough.

Bring it back to a weekend. Who cares if there are territory battles during incursion - it'll be fun PvP!

The friday night forgot to shielders, who got drunk and fell asleep. The late nights because people don't have to work the next day.

Tuesdays RUIN incursion.

[mossy acorn]

Totally agree

And it is 💯 true that people get drunk on the weekend and fire up their STFC and it's an Incursions wildcard that is taken away with a Tuesday incursions. Can usually tell when my alliancemates are imbibing and having an extra good time

Don't fault Scopely for trying something. But please understand this has made the event boring

[sinful socket]

People aren't busy because of work. They're busy eating tacos. At least get your facts straight. 😏

[spare pike]

Could be cause scopely is actively trying to kill its own game. QUICK HAVE ANOTHER FLASHPOINT!!!

[foggy marten]

APAC incursions are boring any day of the week - other servers hardly show up which I guess is why we’ve won every incursion - so over in this part of the world, I dont see it as a ‘day of the week’ issue

[acoustic geyser]

I've said this before and I'll say it again. 2 Servers vs 201 next time

[foggy marten]

“Unpopular thoughts” - This is over emotional about a game that is his “main” source of income. You all think Scopley survives on just this one game, when they have lots of games in the market earning money far more easily - and against popular belief, they will eventually design a new game and people will play it and pay for it.
If whales think they ‘own’ the developer, then this is a wake up call to the whales - they don’t and they never will.
The ONLY way consumers can tip the scales is by leaving all the developers products, but that includes all the consumers who don’t play STFC but all the other Scopley games.
So imo, I think Scopley is close to being to ‘done’ with creating new arcs and storylines to appease the whales - they’ve bled the spenders, absorbed the complaints and probably have decided it’s enough, time to move on to something new.
Believe it or not, less STFC isnt going to ruin the mainstream players life (just the CCs get impacted)… there are better things out there to do with your time

[shadow elbow]

To be fair, one of their “heroic” missions was to just let your ship sit there and get hit…just have to maybe repair and send back

[foggy marten]

It still wont be enough 🤣

[neon atlas]

Based on the news, I think I got my answer 😆

[hearty jungle]

Ive always contended theyre doing all of this on purpose so they dont have to launch g7 content.

[abstract zealot]

true nothing players do will effect scopley the company since they have monopoly go. what it could do is effect those in charge of STFC specificly. If the stfc arm of the buiness is no longer worth the investment those in charge will find themselves out of a job along with devs unfortunately.

[neon atlas]

That's true, but maybe they'll move over to other teams and be more successful. This game has been without Vision for a long time, and has ignored players even longer. How many people have you heard say "I'm only still here for the community"? That community got through some difficult and crazy times together. But the game itself has been broken and not fun for quite a while, and several people are done.

[abstract zealot]

i dont know about moving to other teams when your in the team that drove whales out of the game. if they wanted to shutdown stfc then they may move people but a failure would just mean layoffs.

[short jetty]

And Star Trek is a huge IP. They would be more likely to take the IP in another direction, probably with a new team. Remember Scopely acquired Niantic, which means first person alternate reality with mega IP is on the table (Pokemon, Harry Potter). Imagine Ingress and such leveraged into Star Trek Away team missions. People would throw money at it.

[foggy marten]

Game developers will usually just move people to other projects - STFC has outlived the normal lifespan of a game. They’re likely just fed up of having to spend time and money on the changes with lower ROI

[short jetty]

This game may be long in the tooth for a mobile game, but multiplayer games can last a LONG time. Ultima Online is still going from a 1997 launch, Anarchyu Online from a 2001 launch, and WoW is what 15 years old as well.

[short jetty]

If you were to design a follow on games - a STFC2 if you will, what would you change and what would you keep?

[brazen prism]

Nowadays, almost everything in this game has become a pay to progress or pay to get little things. Scopely makes things unnecessarily difficult at first, and then the next month they come up with Primes and a new special ship. Scopely now just expects you to pay for their half-baked ideas

Scopely thinks Incursion is so much fun to play now. It has nothing to do with PvP and social interaction anymore. PvP in G6 was already extremely unbalanced; it's simply a matter of who has the most money wins. A few Ops 70 players come with 200 million-plus ships and attack your 12 million G6. This is the same when G3 and G5 were in the same bracket, 8 million ship attacking 700k.. Every brainless zombie with a lot of money always wins nowadays. You don't need a strategy, you need lots of money. In the past you could still surprise with more tricks or better technology, but those times are long gone. 🥴

Example: Two years ago, you could still have fun in PvP. With tricks, better technology... boost, triangle... Go back even further, and even Sally could beat Ent with cleverness. Now the money rules 🤮

[brazen prism]

Scopely wants to reinvent the wheel, while Star Trek has decades of history with series and movies, this game has only a fraction of that. So, why does Scopely always have to reinvent the wheel? While there is so much lore out there about Star Trek, there's no need to keep coming up with something new

[prisma raptor]

<@&509690795536941056> game randomly sends out ships. Several of my alliance are reporting this as well.

[grave hawk]

<@&509690795536941056> why can't we do Q trials on the other server?

[slender monolith]

No idea, but you can’t

[stone kestrel]

<@&509690795536941056> 106 lost 4 incursions now (including today) because a high ops (Llaqo) whale opened their base because of a beef between 5 players, that's no fun. Any way to fix that?

[wet fiber]

I can tell you we have/had the same problem for the past 3 incursions, they do nothing, simply and utterly nothing. Why you ask? Well because it causes more friction between players that make them spend more to get an edge, they do not care, i promise you

[slender monolith]

It’s considered a “player issue”, like RoE, and you should solve it yourself but raiding their base too. Tbh, what could you do to fix it? What’s the programmatic difference between “didn’t shield by pretending to forget” and “attacked a player to drop a shield then log off”?

[frail latch]

Laaaaag

[thorny falcon]

Ok a newbie to this game, but put hours in and I do love it.

Latest incursion event.. ok get this encounter. 2.5 mil vs 550 mil. Although perhaps a buff/de-buff mechanism would be good. Alternatively if a pve/pvp open environment allow those not interested to just flag out of combat unless they attack, a common MMO solution

I’m certainly not complaining .. incursion as structured.. go suck in the plankton 🤣

What I don’t get is the station attack with the Gladius. Perhaps a newbie error. I upgraded all station buildings to lvl 35 and across ALL research trees ploughed 75-80% of resources into any defence platform related upgrade. For lvl they were maxed.This station should be tanky re levels.

However, looking at battle logs I can see nothing to indicate any mitigation/improvement across the defense platforms. There is transparency for the Captain, OA, below decks but no indication the research has improved anything? Is it just an icon with no code behind it. What’s the overall mitigation/penetration stat calculation? An example, the docked Centurion has a core 20% defence stat if docked. I don’t see that ever applied or indicated in logs.

Equally no clear indication how the artifacts/chaos/forbidden affect the mitigation or penetration stats in a battle.

Lastly, I think a bit late in game development to change anything and needed to be mapped at the beginning but this just seems to be a race to max everything and there is no nuance that makes things interesting.

Generally you would expect:

Rank character through levels.

A skill tree but only selected limited points e.g you can choose to have a very tanky tank or a combative tank but you can’t both. You choose, here you can have a shield wearing, dual wielding tank. That is a bit different.

Armour/Weapons. The grind.

Most big MMO studios like Blizzard struggle to handle balance across a fraction of attributes. How are you doing it?

[devout pivot]

I’m guessing because in the rare event you can’t complete it, it may be stuck there Glitched where all trials would show on their server moving forward 🤷🏻‍♂️. Seems like a precaution to prevent any glitches

[mossy kernel]

we could really use a votekick feature to time people out if they are being toxic, causing problems in the server, etc. probably something like 2 weeks before they come back.

When an appropriate number of people (must be a fraction of the average amount of people active on server; for instance, if 100 people are concurrently active and at a certain level, maybe make it 40 people to pass the vote) send them to like an isolated space with anonymized usernames and can do anything except engage in pvp.

There would have to be a level lock for who can vote though. I suggest something like ops 40 or so, maybe 50 in more developed servers.

[slender monolith]

Definitely a bad idea that would definitely not get abused…

[remote mist]

Dear <@&509690795536941056> Is there ( now that i think of it im starting to laugh ) maybe a way that the programmers at Scopely can see to it that the Alliance Tournament Store stops from scrolling back to top every 5 or freaking knows how many seconds ...... Its freaking annoying to buy items that way ..... shouldn be too hard to make that happen ......

[smoky totem]

The AT store is bouncing all over the place again leading to mistaken credit spend. The game is telling me I have a task when I haven't even started. Your incompetence is astounding since you manage to break an event that runs every single month which should use the exact same code, there are zero excuses for this. No wonder your players are leaving at an epic rate.

[opaque raft]

Alliance tournament is bugged from the first time we saw it. And it is still bugged.
Scopely doesnt care about it in any way, as with so many other bugs.

[astral cloud]

We are having issues with help button in DSN

[grim obsidian]

#💭-suggestions message
Here was my suggestion on how to "fix / Attack" this issue. It doesn't just happen on your server, and if the case isn't that the player has opened themselves up but are simply a repeat offender of poor sield disicpline, this could work in that regard as well. Not to mention I think this would / could help make incursions a bit more fun and challenging.

[slate vigil]

im for one am very happy the alliance tourney lasts 5 days thank you!!!!!!!!

[trim citrus]

STFC GM: "we're sorry our game is performing so poorly and we're doing a bad job of managing it."

Also scopely:

[weak flare]

I'm so pleased I got my hands on the "Earned through special events" item. It's from one of my favorite Star Trek episodes.

[thorny falcon]

True, but they were born of a different era where you could get a monthly subscription. Also they were true MMO with real story arcs (STFC has none) and monetize via expansion packs/kit upgrade. Others MMO’s when they moved to FTP never adopted pay to win. That I think is where STFC is and that’s a downward slope to oblivion as eventually the gap between fresh players joining and the gap to the whales just causes people to leave early..

Perhaps a reason WoW launched in 2004 and still going 2 decades on. Progression based on skill/effort put in not credit card balance ! It was a real leveller

[weak flare]

I also have to admit that staring at this circle that spins for 10+ seconds every time I collect something is somehow more enjoyable than doing the last 3 arcs.

Seriously another battle pass? Are you guys trying for a record of something? with this that brings this month in passes alone £140 you could buy a £99 back and change with that no thanks

[cosmic knoll]

scopely now making a bp a week to try and get the revenue back up after their muck up. an apology video followed by shutting the door on their spenders ... shows you that video was battleship.

they wont fix anything, G7 is a lie, they are trying to EoS before they have to put in any kind of arc following this 6 month mining arc.

[torn dagger]

OPS 61 account archived. Watching, waiting and hoping Scopely alters path. I didn't/don't mind spending some money on a game I enjoy, but you are bloating the game with too much to do on a daily basis. I find myself spending 6-8 hours a day doing loops and grinding hostiles. 5 seconds per battle plus flight time between kills, warp time between systems, repair time...it adds up. There are bugs in the game (pushing attack and watching my ship start to move there and then just stop, that is a new to me!). The user interface can upgraded to include the 'math' under the hood. I enjoy that part of the game, but would love to see it displayed easier rather than doing reverse engineering to see how my stats are being affected by all of the research, buildings, skins, etc, etc. So much you can do to improve what you have instead of just adding more time sinks and cash grabs. Good luck to all who stay and wait!

[vivid nebula]

The way things are I would not be at all surprised if we tried to log in tomorrow and just get a message saying servers shut down, game ended. We all know it’s dying, scopely know it , question is when? And they will insist its business as normal to get the last bit of cash from players till they pull the plug

New AT tournament and scopeless still hasn't fixed the bugs with the lags and jumps in the AT shop. What does that tell us? That this useless CM video was just empty talk. None of it was meant seriously! Scopeless probably wants to continue losing massive amounts of money and players. They don't care about anything! A very good example of everything Scopeless is capable of and wants to be is the Kirhara Artefact. It was rubbish from the start and they didn't give a 💩.

[junior sierra]

September is soon. I expect immediate improvements and immediate info on how you are addressing the multitude of in game issues and unrealistic events milestones. Baby battlepass, flash pass etc spending is tabled until I see improvement in the game.

[prime socket]

It is absolutely RIDICULOUS how often I have to reboot when getting stuck on this screen. FIX IT. (I know. Who am I kidding. They don’t care.)

[vale wasp]

If you believe they're breaking the ToS, file a ticket with CS. Naming and shaming here isn't allowed.

[toxic coyote]

Webstore currency has changed to GBP, is there any way to change it back to USD? Otherwise packs have effectively increased 20-30% and not worth spending in game anymore

[junior sierra]

Already bought something on accident in tournament store due to the incessant bouncing, reloading. It’s cool though, right scopes? At least it kinda works now

[vale wasp]

The webstore currency should be linked to the saved payment method.

[toxic coyote]

The game is 80% rebooting time. No wonder players are quitting in large numbers now!

[molten iris]

is this accurate for getting to 270 points or am I supposed to finish ALL dailes?

[next saddle]

well the comp chest of 20k points was a nice gesture, for me and a lot of other players who had already completed the Wave Defense it was a completely worthless.

[acoustic geyser]

You get 100 points per day, looks like you have 100 points

[wooden spire]

I barely play because it’s all too slow. Painful spinning circles after clicking anything. Yet I’ve had to restart several times today because it gets stuck on the spinning circle permanently.

[limber oriole]

It took 5 hours to even admit there was a screwup. Even though posts were coming right afyer reset about it?
All while a CM posts 2 hours after reset about wave bp messup.
Not a great look Ineptly

[molten iris]

the scoring is whacked... if its 100 per day there shouldn't be any numbers without zeros here

[acoustic geyser]

No, you earn 100 a day, the scoring is confusing on purpose because scoplay mafs

[crimson ice]

The 270 is enough. You don’t have to do all tasks.

[carmine marten]

Nice staying a bit more on top of comms today, not only in discord but in game news as well.

I’m still annoyed at all your energies, focus, and attention, going almost solely to selling packs, and creating events based 95%+ on pushing said packs. But. Thanks for staying on comms. Keep that up. And please put more energy on better events for everyone or for the game. And not events that have a near singular purpose to push packs. 🙂

[opal orchid]

Are you saying because I didn't buy yet another elite pass, I get nothing because the game wouldn't allow me to claim? C'mon, send it to everyone, geez

[finite mural]

The comp chest just went out, check your claims

[stark fjord]

Ghesh can there be any more issues.. ur staff is incompetent and needs to be fired.. get a grip on ur game already...issues after issues after issues..well beyond due. It's been how many years it's no longer acceptable to be in this state.. n u wonder y ur players are leaving n not spending.. all ur own doing n ur blind to it.. or at this point just ignorant to it .. after this long is blatant disrespect and almost purposeful

[stoic crane]

Imagine that the whales and biggest spenders of money in the game have just cut their word in the vip discord that expects casual players to scopely no longer care more than money if this keeps up maybe the game will last another year.

[velvet sphinx]

Yeah, not spending another dime. Not even battlepass. It's beyond ridiculous at this point and the only logical reason seems to be they want the game to die. Milk as much as they can then turn off the lights.

[dawn quarry]

how come fkr solo aramadas don't count for fkr armadas in the Alliance Tournaments?

[finite mural]

because there are tasks specifically for the fkr solo armadas

[slender monolith]

260 is actually enough

[kind star]

It's so nice to see players turning their backs on this awful company and paying less and less money for a product that keeps getting worse and worse. Hopefully it will stay that way – the only language Scopely understands.

[merry comet]

I don't believe that a specialty ship that has an ops lock before the next grade should require materials for that grade to upgrade or repair. For example, my GS-31 should not require sigma resources at T9 to repair.

On another note, I would like it if some of these newer loops could include Officer XP as part of their loot chest drops. I shouldn't have to go back to older loops that I have a comfortable stockpile in to get the XP I need to tier/level newer officers or officers that can be more easily upgraded with the new Away Team officer efficiency researches, especially when the last four months have required a heavy investment in either grind time or dock usage.

[merry comet]

On another other note, part of the Kir'Shara bug could be fixed if you added a flag to hostiles like 'InAttackQueue', which the despawn function would check before allowing said hostile to despawn

[glacial spruce]

You would think. But the mechanic for de-spawning hostiles is likely very old and done poorly. Probably hard-coded. It's unlikely anyone has given it any thought since the game was released.

[snow grotto]

I've been playing for over a year now and haven't once seen a single source for Doomsday Directives nor really any reason to defeat their armadas, nor defeat Doomsday Worms, nor even visit any of those systems. Is this content eventually going to be revamped? If not, maybe that real estate could be better used for other new content (the way the transogen systems were thrown in, cutting off Ty'Ral from Tolra and making the klingon's gateway system to deep space a dead end, wasn't great in my opinion, and it might be better to recycle the worms the next time such a move is under consideration).

[fluid mist]

this would take thought and ingenuity sadly there ain't much of that from what ive seen in this game mostly just copy paste repeat and tweak

[old seal]

It was a waste of time and poorly thought concept. The rewards for Armadas and worms themselves were and still are utterly useless.

[gentle shale]

They made sense at the time of release when the TOS crew were introduced and it was focused around the episode “The Doomsday Machine” arc line. The rewards, at the time, were ok but largely in context with the events of the arc. The directives were doled out as part of those early days. I agree that the real estate could be better served by being repurposed. Even the event for them is useless as it easier to kill high level hostiles than try to complete focusing strictly on goals.

The only thing I am unsure of is whether or not there are non-arc related missions hanging out there that would need to be decommissioned that would make things trickier than Q-snapping the systems away.

[grave hawk]

Good morning stfc community! I'm thinking that this Arc is going to make this game sink or swim. After that obviously heartfelt and sincere apology from the general manager, I would expect at least a few of the adaptations the players have long advocated for on this and other spaces would occur.

Now I know they're going to sell us the problem this month and next month It's either going to be a new ship or a new building after that to fix the problem. I don't have any trouble with them making money.

But they need to make the changes to make our quality of life better so we can stick around and enjoy the game. If they don't, I'll be surprised if this game makes it past the holiday season.

[pseudo thicket]

But not including G6 on a pack you want ops 61 - 70 to buy. Ridiculous!

[chrome vortex]

As another revenue stream put ads here instead of these suggestions. That way you're using lag to your advantage.

[kind star]

Again this BS 💩 Events. Noone enjoy this crap.

[dusky sky]

Just a suggestion, while you are hemorraging players and keeping almost everyone who is still playing your game in a state of contant rage and frustration, you may want to stop with the ads in the news section for a bit.

Don't demand or try enticing us to spend money while we're sitting here waiting for you to fix what's broken. Show us you are worthy and that you are listening and ackowledging where the problems are.

In other words back up what your GM said, change your ways, and start showing players you value them. You'd be shocked what a salubrious effect it can have on the remaining population. This may sound snarky, but this is literally my advice to you as someone who works in the field of brand design and strategy.

You're welcome for the freebie.

[bold marlin]

Everyone’s leaving, unpopular events, systems blank for the near full minute while it says ‘scanning’, refines/loot/gift boxes hanging while opening them not showing you actually got.

Lag, hang ups and just general poor performance.

[toxic sinew]

@CMs Just a general "would be nice to have":

Consider creating a role for specific contest-related pings; something like @Contests or @Trivia and mentioning those versus using @here or dreaded @everyone pings.

The role can be given by default to all or just be an opt in that people click a button to get.

[hearty jungle]

I havent played a day of this arc. I cant believe how much more free time I have AND I feel better overall.

[chrome vortex]

I got a great idea. How about standardize on all chests and make them visible? In other words, you can click on that little thing that's got an eye and you can see what it's going to take to do a chest pull.

[frozen aurora]

You misheard they didn’t say quality they said koala tea.

[oak hawk]

Hey Scopley & <@&509690795536941056> .... Maybe REV is totally off here. Maybe it is you want a wide gap in ops level, and you want people to hord harder, and you want big spenders to get board and take their boardom out on lower level players ... Maybe you want to run off more players.

Then again, maybe REV is right on the money here and you have forgotten why the Event Stores happen ... to get more people towards the most recent content.

Scopley ceo is silent …. So others will speak. It’s a normal Human reaction

[ashen star]

Heard that the ferengi store is going to replace the end of arc stores. That would be horrible! The event store is the only way ftp can get a chance to catch up to the whales and keep leveling up like you kept demanding we do up until Connor’s video. The ferengi events are fine, but the payout is terrible. A handful of shards isn’t worth extra effort in general, but especially when you compare it to the unlock of new officers, adding tiers even to rares, the whip, the ft slot, all those primes you can’t sell anymore, etc.

[opal crane]

Can someone with Scopely just admit that the crying video was just lip service? That all of the pleading and promising that the CMs have been doing to retain the whales is just lip service? How many complaints have been posted about COUNTLESS Battlepasses and Pay to Play events, requiring multiple purchases... Have you learned nothing about what type of content your playerbase wants and what's driving them to quit? I know it's not the <@&509690795536941056> 's fault, but Jeez Louise! Why is Scopely so eager to drive this game into maintenance mode?? Honestly, it feels malicious at this point with how dark of a turn Scopely is taking with STFC, and how awful their decision making has been from the top down since Savvy Games Group bought their soul.

I imagine this is what the internal conversations are like at Scopely when the community's hate for them grows every day.
https://youtu.be/kCXTq-fWWio?si=OMP4fLjrTfEkUvr0&t=148

"What did we learn Palmer?"
"I don't know, sir."
"I don't ... know either. I guess we learned not to do it again."
"Yes, sir."
"...If I know what we did."
"Yes, sir, it's hard to say."

[mild thicket]

I completely agree, this would be terrible, Scopely did really well with the WOK event store and STFC felt in a real good place, but the Ferengi is just an awful payout. Not to mention it lacks ships, additional FC seats and more, despite Scopelys horrible false advertising....

[acoustic geyser]

I think you should be able to use latinum for away teams speedups. Thx

[odd prawn]

Yep. Gotta agree. We had Connor looking like he was with close to tears or being held to ransom saying that we know we have done a bad thing and need to do a better job and yet we are still being hit with pay2play events and sooooo many battle passes and incursions where lower levels didn't get prep events but still HAD to take part in incursions or just forget about the game for 24 hours and miss out on other events and dailies.

While we weren't expecting instant action it seems to me that someone with a modicum of respect for the player base might have gone... Hold up... Maybe we need to do this a little differently like include lower levels in the incursion prep events... Maybe allow all players to do one of the syndicate events and then buy more if they want to.

It's really not rocket science at all... Just some small gestures would make all the difference while scopely work on sorting their plop plops out.

And yes as SnootBooper said we do not blame you <@&509690795536941056> but we need you to fight for us and point out the stupid stuff that live ops are doing that not only annoys everyone but also makes the Connor video look like a guy just telling us what we want to hear so he can get his family back in one piece.

You won't be saying that when you hit G6 dude. You will regret every single latinum you ever spent 🤣

Everyone I know mines MU for speedups, tiny bits of lat aren't going to break the bank unless you're spending all your lat on upgrades too?

[mild thicket]

I agree - since WOK ended, everything seems to have gone drastically down hill, but then again, Scopely don't even know what day it is anymore (or apparently proof read their own news....) - I realise this might come over as just a 'dig' but all these small errors are just part of a wider problem; Poor attention to detail, poor awareness of their product and ignoring the feedback of their players - something their GM promised they'd be trying harder with....

[grave hawk]

This whole thing is sad. What a waste.

[molten cedar]

Literally everything that is being done is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the players are asking for. Promises made are never kept, pay events with terrible rewards, watered down versions of event stores we actually liked. Every single thing is locked behind some kind of pay wall or a absurd grind that by the time you can get what you need to do whatever activity is it is obsolete and replaced by a new pay wall ship/event.

Charging for everything is just getting completely out of hand. Buy a special super niche ship for 100 bucks to participate, but oh by the way its next to useless unless you also buy 3 more 100 upgrade packs...you wonder why people have been quitting and droves...but I suppose you have to try and make up that lost revenue somewhere?

Scopely is driving a great game and community into the ground. It was bad enough when it was just glitchy, but scopely's willfully disregard for their players who spend hundreds or thousands of dollars a month is straight up disrespectful.

[odd prawn]

Scopely would rinse the hell out of lat for ATA speed ups especially P1ATAs

Come on...we all know what they are like

And yes... I also farm MU for speed ups but Latium is often needed for speed ups too as we do not get enough.

[opal crane]

The ONE thing I would say is that while they did commit to big changes... these changes are not an overnight thing. I'm sure they've put hundreds of hours into development for the current direction of the next several months (probably a little less for QA LOL), it's honestly impossible to see massive changes over the course of a couple weeks in a game environment like this. Creative design time, development, (debatably) QA time. I think there IS more than they can do in the short term, but I wouldn't outright say promises have been explicitly broken, at least not ones from that video.I'm willing to be patient, but I'd love to see some more changes and at least an outline of what they're thinking about, maybe a poll to get feedback directly from the players about the things that we find to be a priority.

[molten cedar]

There is plenty they can do, they just choose not to. While I get that they can't overhaul the entire game overnight. They are capable of making gestures to the players in the form of materials, resources, parts, ships, and the list goes on as a sign of "good faith" or at the very least add some rewards to the stores that have actual value.

Scopely's top spenders quit the game, they have lost large amounts of players over the last few months. They need to stop the bleed, and that means giving us stuff the we do want right now as in today and probably on a regular basis until they fix the nonsense that we have all literally said we hated for AT LEAST the last 12 months.

[opal crane]

Yeah, my last message basically said that. lol

"I think there IS more than they can do in the short term, but I wouldn't outright say promises have been explicitly broken, at least not ones from that video.I'm willing to be patient, but I'd love to see some more changes and at least an outline of what they're thinking about, maybe a poll to get feedback directly from the players about the things that we find to be a priority."

[molten cedar]

Just echoing your sentiment. Frustration is real over here.

[opal crane]

Yeah, absolutely no disagreement. I just know a lot of folks are not super familiar with how the development process works, so wanted to hopefully give others a perspective on how some things DO take time.

[molten cedar]

For sure! But Remember when arena was super broken? A big fat comp chests every Monday for weeks gave us the warm and fuzzies. Lame comp chests here and there is pretty meh.

The amount of revenue scopely brings in a month on this game alone is more then enough to give us a significant good faith reward for sticking with them through the process.

[lunar ocean]

Between the AT crap and killing off event stores, I'm 100% F2P going forward. So, thanks for saving me money I guess.

[gritty stirrup]

will one day Scopely clear the useless tokens??

[gleaming path]

So event store going away, replacing it with a second pay bp ferengi. That's B.S. Just like the 4 day pay to play syndicate event. Most is pay to play, I lost count on all the battle pass' . This is one huge reason people are quitting in droves. Poor payouts on events and stores. We need Mats and ship parts. And sigma speed ups. This game is trying to do a cash grab as they push players out the door. When people who don't care about spending quit, can the people who spend but not exorbitantly or moderately be far behind. Support is a joke, my last ticket i was transferred to literally 7 different people and they don't bother to read anything so I told them they won, I didn't care anymore. They're pushing G4 G5 to move up meanwhile, the G6 players who have spent to get there get crumbs in mats and speeds to get us to spend, everything takes so much that instead of rewarding us for getting to 69 everything is a push towards the store. I'll probably never get from 69 to 70 because each week I take another step out the door, I already cut down my spending by a lot, now I think I'll just stop spending altogether because the game is definitely going in the wrong direction

[low pawn]

Scopely put the reliant on the bps store for the events

[keen gorge]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jyah_mUTCIU&pp=QAFIAQ%3D%3D

[honest flicker]

I agree that the event store being replaced by the ferengi store is terrible. What upsets me the most is how Scopely springs things like this without any official announcement to let us know so we can prepare for it. Then, on top of it, they didn't officially let us know that the currency won't roll over from one ferengi store to the next. Oh, I know Hammie commented about it in response to player posts, but there was nothing in any official announcement channels, whether Discord, in game, or on their website. Scopely's business plan is to trick players and pull bait-and-switch dishonest moves on the player base. THIS is the real core issue that has the players upset. The complaints I see and hear all boil down to this core developer behavior. We want transparency. We want advance notice of, and the ability to give feedback on changes BEFORE they are sprung on us.

As for all the battle passes recently, I applaud them because they all have a free track, unlike the all-heroic events they have held. I say, give us more battle passes, keeping the free track fully completable. Those who find value in the paid track can purchase them if they want. These increase player choice opportunities, which is what we want. Scopely has done some good things, and we need to express appreciation for the positives, even as we call out the bad business practices.

[hoary gate]

It does not take them that long to send comp chests. GOOD comp chests. Comp chests to literally buy back a sliver of the good will the community used to have. The queue card reading video from Conner would have been the perfect time

[noble root]

If this is the end of the Snw arc, then I expect an event store to be put together immediately for this week that has the officers and everything that is usually available. Its unacceptable to say nothing about one of very few good constants that we can expect and take it away. Literally nothing other than an event store with the arcs officers available as usual will do.

[gleaming path]

You can express appreciation, I have zero. They're cheap with loot, they want more and more money for less and less return. Customer support is a joke. They would rather transfer your ticket to someone else thank give you the few pixels that you are owed for a glitch or bug on their part and treat you like you're trying to get something for free like it's going to make you jump 5 levels for free and we're all lying instead of apologizing and saying sure we'll take care of it. We don't go there to get things for free, most times it's the principal of the thing but they treat the customer like we're lying cheats,or like we're stupid and don't know how to play the game after 6 years. I may not be a whale in the game but getting to 69 is an achievement and wasn't free. it shouldn't matter what level we are or how much we spend we deserve way better

[acoustic geyser]

If these were actually gifts I would be very excited

[broken surge]

Wait, 199.99? Where are you from? Australia or something?

[acoustic geyser]

NZ and yes you are seeing that correctly. It's equivalent to 117 USD

[broken surge]

Oh that makes sense, those packs are usually 129.99 CAD for me which is probably like $97 USD or something

[normal creek]

Too much clicking. To many refineries. I want to fight in epic space battles. Build starship, explore the galaxy. But I have to spend 30 mins claiming everything. Not why I play,not enjoyable,is a chore. This is a known gripe, yet every battle pass new ship new factions new refineries. I am done with the game and it's work like chores. Well-done solely devs you made a healthy game ill
Goodbye

[tall sedge]

Can we get a slide for mission key recruits?

[brazen prism]

Incorrect name. It should say: You are a thief in your own pocket. The normal one gives more.. Why would you need this?

[slender monolith]

Because you don’t get common? And you do get uncommon and rare even when the regular refineries don’t give those? I’m sure it won’t please everyone 🤷‍♂️

[finite mural]

It's because the bonus refinery doesn't benefit from favors/research

[slender monolith]

I’m just glad i get uncommon and rare lol, at 61, i wasn’t even refining G6 because i don’t want to waste it on commons.

[kind star]

CM Connor's video is now two weeks old. Since then, nothing has improved, neither in terms of usability nor in terms of loading behaviour when collecting all the stuff during the day, and certainly not in terms of fixing long-overdue bugs. Is it all just lies and deception? It looks that way...

[slender monolith]

You sure you watched it? I mean, he said “from September” and we are still in August

[somber orchid]

People only see what they want to see not what is actually said

[slender monolith]

I heard that there’s extra free time if you quit playing

[violet dock]

Mate, this ship is an oil tanker and you cannot handbrake turn it that fast. I wouldn't expect to see a shift until October. Next month is probably going to be whatever they can scrap together without breaking everything. You're asking too much...

...and yes I think Flashpoint is trash and all complaints about it are valid.

[haughty sail]

at least they can pull the plug on all the P2W only events immediately and copy paste some faction hunt and other generic events etc to have some events while they sort out this cluster of a situation though. not that hard to NOT run the exact type of events people complain about.

[grave geyser]

You know, when I was a kid, I was taught that if you were on fire, you stop, drop and roll. You dont keep running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. At least slow the run away dumpster fire and NOT get rid of the event store only to replace with this stupid Ferengi store.

[tepid bramble]

When your team/squad/business is going in the wrong direction/getting smoked by the enemy/losing its players, you don’t wait till September to start “fixing” the issue.

You start NOW. With anything at all you can do. Comp chests, hot fixing events to provide better rewards vs effort.

You DON’T just sit there and continue the same losing efforts.

The leadership here is blind and tone deaf.

They deserve NO leeway from players and definitely no one should be carrying water for them, especially for free. 🤨

[gentle shale]

state of the game from my perspective

• Scopely has acknowledged their mistakes & set a time frame in which they plan to start implementing things
  • As I understand it, the game is planned months in the future by the arc runner & devs w/ Live Ops creating events for the arc
  • Having worked in the technology field turning on a dime is not easy, especially if anything ready to launch needs to be thrown out or overhauled
• As I understand it, this game is unique in the realm of Scopely’s portfolio of other mobile games (eg, Monopoly GO!, Pokémon GO!)
  • We are more engaged than the usual casual player’s in the rest of the portfolio; I highly doubt there are Discord servers people are creating, connecting with, and creating community with for Monopoly GO!
• There are things that need to be fixed on any number of topics
  • Bug fixes that cause lags or memory leaks on mobile devices
  • Events that get set for the wrong number of days
  • Everlasting series of BattlePasses & Season Passes that cost too much
  • Event stores where it’s unclear what currency definitely ends v what carries forward
  • New ships that rely on immediate purchase to engage in fresh content; ideally ship should be F2P day 1 w/ packs to level up quickly
    • At least we now have established F2P path for ships, something that wasn’t always a thing
  • Greater clarity on the road map of improvement going forward (eg, upgrade client to X on this date; which should be between arcs) & attention to bugs that cause significant pain points
  • Enhance communication flow to/from the <@&509690795536941056> team so they not only get the right information but can forward in a timely fashion
  • Enhance communication from the Communication team, not just the monthly blog posts but more news on what’s happening to improve the game based on feedback
    • Improve voice of player (ie, ditch arc survey 2 days after release & get info not just on arc but all game elements)

[open horizon]

Ummmm Hello Scopley, the game sucks! you have successfully made most players totally disinterested. Hardly worth even checking in as it is always one disappointment after another.

<@&509690795536941056> here's another voice, added to the cacophony. I'm a G6 player, played since launch. I got my wife into it a few years ago, now she's G4. We both buy battlepasses. I buy ships and treasuries, and I've bought a few ships for her. That may not be enough money from Scopely's perspective to earn me a voice, but it's the bulk of our recreation budget, so it's a lot to us.

She's losing interest. Y'all haven't released any interesting G4 content in a long time. Her G4 community is disinterested...nobody wants to do anything. The only thing in the game she and I can do together anymore is muddmadas on Thursdays...which are completely irrelevant to me, so I'm losing interest. There's planty for me to do in the game as a competitive G6 player, but it's mostly solo stuff, and it's all so much mindless grinding that it's turned into a full time job. I'm drowning in old currencies that I can't do anything with. I'm very well powered and equipped for a player at my ops level, but I'm struggling to earn the new currencies, and wondering why I'm continuing to log in every day to slog through such uninteresting content.

I just got ANOTHER PM in game from a long-time friend, another very competitive G6 player, who quit for the same reasons. He dropped tag and uninstalled. His friends are draining his base right now.

Scopely needs to release more content that brings the ENTIRE COMMUNITY TOGETHER, instead of just hammering G6 players with tedious pay-to-play content.

You lost the electoral vote 🤣

[vast nest]

You must have forgotten the bribe

I was going leave so feed back but realy can not be bothered socpey no ready oh wit that was feed back moew bad safe the game soley fix the bugs resorte all this as was pc lauch the gm saiy all be fix so fix it

[mellow loom]

Want to start by saying that I used to spend real money on this game; not a ton, but I've bought a few ships, a few base upgrades, and multiple battlepasses. I stopped doing that because it didn't seem to make my experience in the game any better. I get that to do things right, it should be a thoughtful process. The issue is that the community has been telling you about the problems and potential solutions for so long that we're getting sick of it. How long have we asked for some balancing to the alliance tournament? The events need to be a better mix of F2P, pay-to-win, and accessible to multiple grades of players. My alliance has less than 30% of members participating right now and I can hardly blame them. I LOVE the idea of the tournament but the execution, as usual, is poor. It's a microcosm of the issue that @rigid vapor has: your players love the idea of your game but you continually disappoint us with execution and then exacerbate it with gaslighting. Does anyone believe the GM when he says that they've heard the complaints and will work towards solutions? If you had actually been listening, you would have known about the complaints, worked out the solutions, and already implemented them. We've been begging y'all for a long time to fix the issues and the player base is finally recognizing your motivation to do so is by reducing your revenue. I don't think anyone wants that. If we didn't love the game, we wouldn't be here. Please stop pushing us away.

[flat trellis]

How do you spend rare skill points for alliance tournaments?

[finite mural]

on skills like this

[muted shuttle]

🫤

[hoary gate]

Since Scopely is begging for time, they better hit it out of the park like the Packers just did. Otherwise, Scopely will look like Jerry Jones. And that isn't a good thing.

[abstract zealot]

you refine uncommon skill points into fleet commander skill points. in the command center refinery

[odd heart]

So why does this game Force everyone into an Alliance, but then makes everyone do everything on their own?????
One of the Devs said this is an MMO, this is the first MMO, where high levels can’t really help newbies catch up: read Eviscerator!

[ancient stratus]

Finally they are standing up and showing no more

[abstract zealot]

they can help but its just limited. why? simple money. this game isnt a subscription model its a Macrotransaction model so the amount you can help people is limted so that people soend money.

[ancient stratus]

Only help really is in alliance events and if they want to do smaller armadas to help them

[gusty fractal]

In the first two years STFC was a MMO so alliances were necessary to fight among us, not only in sterile SLB/ALBs but for example to get a mining node or to leave it to a friend. Then the game mechanics changed but not game design: Scopely added Formation Armadas or Origin Space to give to alliances a reason to exist but a player can play alone in his personal alliance.

STFC is a MMO on the store but a single player in the game.

P.S
Example: Formation Armadas (multiplayer content) give to us Artifact shards but now with transogen (single player content) we can get them.

[pale garnet]

there is absolutely zero Quality Of Life grind in any of the last 2 new additions to this game, who are you trying to kid, it's a challenge, NOT, it's a farce and a joke upon this game and upon StarTrek in general, no one but no one wants to be grinding hostiles 10 levels lower than their ops lv, no one wants to be taking ships needing ship xp into a space where is no xp value for thoes ships whatsoever, wake up, get real, and give the people what the people want, not what you want to give them, total bull

[restive fjord]

I understand it being rep level linked but theres no indication of how many scouts etc you need to kill for it. Can't even get an explanation from a ticket (standard from scopely i know)

[torpid cradle]

what they have accomplished with the last changes was to dissuade a large number of players from even attempting to do many of the events

Regarding the Alliance Tournaments. Can we see a change where ONLY those actually completing at least ONE task receive credits. This would encourage more participation.

[finite mural]

That's how it works

If you don't do any tasks, you'll only benefit from any EC gains

You won't get the alliance reward

[split harbor]

<@&509690795536941056>, are we ever going to have a materials spend event for new officers again? I feel like the last two months have been SLBs for just tokens which only let's you get officers already in the game. We want access to new officers like we used to have with these events!

[tepid bramble]

I think that ship has sailed my friend. Along with my 7m in TP dust and maxed all those officers…🙄

Welcome to the new way Scoply is trying fleece.

This is the final push to get every last ounce of blood from the turnips.

Just save those tokens till something pops up worth it, and don’t “try” anymore.

Scoply has a LONG track record of punishing you for advancing.

Time to coast till the dumpster fully engulfs 😉

[split harbor]

Maybe with all the negative attitude of the player base towards their decision making, they will go back to doing it the way we liked before hand. Maybe even give you a specialty ships in the battlepass like back in the day! One can only hope. I've given up on spending any money on this game a while ago, now just trying to decide if I want to even keep playing.

[split harbor]

<@&509690795536941056> This is the BS I'm talking about! For these between arch weeks, fine this works to get officers. But during the arch, I want new officers available again! If you're going to continue with these you need to add the new officers when they come out!

I will give say thank you for including G3 and upper for scoring again! This a step in the right direction but you need to start running in that direction.

[rain pumice]

I feel the RNG for the transogen dust is pretty bad, I think I get some every 10+ pulls in the refinery, if that.

[kindred flame]

#👾-bug-reporting message Linking to an old post since it's been a few patches since I put it there and also through the official support chat.
SNW Scotty (and any of those that are Flashpoint exclusive) should work on the Suliban Transports and Suliban Runners, etc.
As is these officers become borderline useless outside of Flashpoint events heavily reducing their value, and for those too low ops to even do Flashpoint it does not make sense to invest into them at all. The advice I've seen only recommends SNW Scotty if he's high enough tier to beat DeMarco who is also useful elsewhere whereas SNW Scotty is only for Hurak hostiles.

Making them useful for Transogen space in general does not cause issues elsewhere, and your own article suggests them for that use case as well.

[dawn ice]

junk like this is probably why scopely doesnt bother reading these channels

[obsidian gazelle]

That must be it.

[silk loom]

What they should have done was put these officers in the Transporter Pattern store instead of making a whole new store and currency. But no one at Scopely seems to have "common sense" or "competence" listed on their resume.

[fluid mist]

common sense or competence isn't part of the gaming industry anymore that went to the curbside back in 2011. Since then all we have is games everywhere that aren't complete have dlc or heavy monetization and more bugs than the cdc has!!!!!

[neon atlas]

It's crazy over the years the pink squares have outlasted 4 devices and several players

[civic haven]

Just so you guys know, when you lightened up the event structure with the intent to allow us to do more daily grinding, we are already tired of those and not looking to “move back in.” For that reason, my time in game has probably dropped 80-90%. If you notice the same with other players, this may be why. We need more engaging arcs and less grindy events.

[hoary gate]

They think grind = engagement because they see screen time as engagement. Ergo more screen time due to grind is good in their detached corporate world view

[light tusk]

Where are we with bug improvements? Lag seems to be prevailing for the last several days.

[silk loom]

Easy fix for that..

Make it mandatory for all board members, developers and managers to play the game as ftp and complete everything every day...

It would show them first hand what the screen time takes, and how bad the bugs, lag and lockups are.

The game would change drastically if it was made mandatory for them as part of their job..

[opaque blaze]

problem is I don't think they would have any time left to work on the game 🤣

[nova sierra]

Star trek, the original series, S1E15 Shore Leave... Life is complicated, entertainment should be simple. STFC doesn't rank in the top 100 in online revenue. I play some of the top earners, simple, structured, perform, cheaper, and not a full time job. Fire lots and lots of people and rethink your approach.

[hoary saffron]

[robust tartan]

Tell me about it. And when there's lag, it's taken me well over an hour.

[robust tartan]

I'm beyond sick of the FlushPoint, which has been grind on steroids. All this excessive grinding has done for me is to do the events that don't take several hours of grinding and collect my chests (a full-time job in itself). The rest of my day is then freed up until it's daily time. All these excessive grind events have done for me, especially FP, is to get me on the game much less. The FP is extra aggravating because you have to do all this grinding just for a 15% chance to get an epic pull for the invading entities. My rate has been 0%. What a waste of time to do something you have 0% chance of completing unless you're grinding 12 hrs a day to get triple pulls. No thanks.

[dawn ice]

now its over so all that extra free time gives u a chance to work on ur research or throw a daily tantrum abt smthng else

[inner garden]

FEEDBACK. Fine. Fix the game.
Really tired that the Menu gets flipped to top of menu every few seconds.

I swear that Scopily is trying to crash this game. Making it unplayable. What do you need a full time job for when playing this is full time.? Scopily must get its head out of its money grubbing ash. You expect people to pay money for this but you use none of it to fix the underlying problems.

Gene Roddenberry would disown yer ash

[old elbow]

Awesome new ladies and gents! We are only few hours away from SCOPELY being BETTER! (as they promised they will listen and be better at september!) [yeah i know we should ask which year september but let we have a hope it is 2025 not 2026 +
🥳

[junior sierra]

Year of hèll indeed

[acoustic geyser]

Are they better yet?

[trim citrus]

why aren't the hijacked skins in the store?

[opal crane]

Guys, I'm not going to pretend that Scopely deserves any slack, but just from a software development and technological standpoint, they put out that video like two weeks ago? Yes, they have committed for a long time, but if you're all going to be pointing at that video as the "failure" they legitimately have not been given ample time to do anything in terms of "big picture". YES, they've made a TON of awful decisions (many of which that they made by not choosing to change direction on things that they could have) in these two weeks that they COULD have done better... But gripe on that, not that the game isn't suddenly a stable masterpiece in two weeks. That's not how software development works for a corporate entity of this size.

I'm also the guy that's been muted on this server like 15 times for encouraging Cotts for the Boys, slamming the parent entity of Scopely, etc.

If you're going to picket, picket for the right thing. If they fail to deliver ANY forward progress in the next two months? Well.... That's another conversation. But it's not. We haven't even had a single major 'drop'. So, ooooosah, just for a little bit. PooR OH over here buying a years worth of quesadillas to try and get that dopamine hit to make it through the next release that has been planned for months and they haven't had time to restructure the world 🤣

[junior sierra]

100% agree. But what they can handle…. is upping the communication on the “issues” and be more transparent about what they are working on. They definitely aren’t going to be able to right the ship overnight. I personally really hope they have some comms ready to go……

[opal crane]

You'll see zero disagreement there from me. They have a quickly closing window to buy good will from the community on this whole kerfuffle. And they need to go into overdrive with GOOD updates. Not the 10 negative updates we saw a few days ago in the span of a single day.

[honest flicker]

I wonder if there's a way they could update existing, outdated officers rather than creating new officers that are basically updated abilities of old officers. Perhaps similar to the acclaim system that can improve existing, specific FKR ships depending on where you spend the points. 🤔

[eager tundra]

WWWHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[fast crystal]

How does this happen?🔻

[finite mural]

have you scored a point? hit a station or mine and dock some iso

[eager tundra]

spanked a base, mined over 100m iso today and docked every single one of it

[karmic bough]

Then you likely already claimed it

[frosty yarrow]

yeah. that looks like claimed to me

[nova sierra]

@raw fiber @whoever of the officials
Ticket submitted on Friday, August 29, 2025. They said they would respond within 12 to 24 hours. Yes, today is Monday, definitely more than 24 hours later, and no response. Nice, really, really nice.
Contact requested!

[old elbow]

i think there is a night right now in USA xD let them wake up first 😂

[frosty yarrow]

cant wait for a month of quality focused and feedback based updates

[acoustic geyser]

What do you mean it's nearly Tuesday the 2nd!

[old elbow]

You know bro that software development problem is not our concern at all? Our problem with scopely is a show around greed and oposite direction than feedback given. Somehow they can develop new events full of a greed, imposible to finish milestones etc. Game is not burning, it's pretty stable yara yara yara

@acoustic geyser it is 5.36 am morning in Washington, scopely is an US company.

[slender monolith]

APAC always gets the rough deal lol

[nova sierra]

no response are no response ... that's the truth 🤬

[acoustic geyser]

Last I checked Simpauly isn't on USTZ sooooo????

[normal quarry]

Welp, I sent an email on August 18th and never heard a peep back from them. Even after I prodded them twice. It's like their support folks are being decommissioned. 🤷🏼

[hoary gate]

We are dealing wtih Scopely. Any logic and reasonable expectations for patience disappeared about 2 years ago. Their track record shows they can push out updates really fast when they want to. They can push out comp chests really fast when they want to. They refuse to listen to their customer base and are now a mix of shocked pikachu and the South Park BP "we're sorry" meme.

[opal crane]

The events aren't "new" that they've released. Lol they don't just get bored one morning and throw together an event. I agree and I made it clear in my post that there are things that they could have and should have done better. 100%. But if you take the time to read what I said, you'll see I was referring to people that are pointing at that video and saying the game still runs poorly and calling them liars because of that.

Also, absolutely is an international company. They have offices all around the world. Lol not everything is about us.

[slender monolith]

What does a CMs location have to do with the developers, who are in Ireland btw?

[acoustic geyser]

So... also not USTZ? I'm still winning 😂

[slender monolith]

Scopely HQ is US, devs are Ireland, CS are who knows where, and APAC is never the same day as announcements 🤷‍♂️

[magic cedar]

Thanks for announcing early enough the alliance tournaments and Makala crucible

[barren sparrow]

Can someone please, why 5* epic gas is so hard to get.

Explain*

[silk loom]

I bet Paramount would put pressure on them of we all contacted them and said Scopely is soiling their name and Star Trek name.. Because that's exactly what is happening.

[silk loom]

It's not just 2 weeks... It's 6 years of progressively poorer decisions and incompetence right up through their ranks.

We have cut them enough slack, it's time for change at high levels within Scopely.

[opal crane]

Correct. I've said nothing that is counter to what either of you have said.

Give them heck for the 6 years. 100%
But it's not fair to point at that video and say "Look! They're lying! The game isn't fixed!" Did either of you even read my message? It feels like you're both arguing with the person next to me that didn't say anything in response to what I said.

[vast nest]

For whatever reason, the devs have it set up so that only 5* Epic Crystal drops in events and things so you then have to convert Crystal into Gas with the conversion tokens or by the old school way of scrapping G4 explorers like Ent-A or Valdore

[slender monolith]

Something to do with the mat packs they’re based on

[dawn agate]

The 70plus is comming, what ships will the implement ? Still waiting for the uss excelsior and cpt sulu.

[quartz comet]

Can someone explain the final evolution of the SS Revenant to me.
So you need to be T15, Level 71 or greater to scrap it to get the Mk4 skin.
BUT
The only benefit of the Mk4 Skin is a cost reduction of parts to get you back to where you started with at Mk3.
It doesn't make your ship any stronger, faster or better in any way shape or form.
If that is correct one must ask WTF!

[slender monolith]

Only? It says it upgrades bundles in the refinery, so more mats per chest i assume

[quartz comet]

yes, you get the 10 day pull of mats, and after a small handful of extra G6 mats in pulls, but the skin does nothing for the ship, a T15 level 75 Mk3 Rev is exactly as strong as a T15 level 75 Mk4 Rev

[peak charm]

So where and what level can I get the voyager? Casie it sure doesn’t show up anywhere to purchase?

[slender monolith]

Starts at Ops 34, iirc there should be a mission chain for it, try the holodeck. If not, then it involved grinding Hirogen to get BPs, and the mission did something else that was related.

[ashen fossil]

https://scopely.helpshift.com/hc/en/19-star-trek-fleet-command/faq/7299-uss-voyager

In short, defeat Hirogen Hostiles, trade loot for daily pull in Voyager Refinery for Voyager Blueprints.

[ember python]

I suggest that speed up activates only after all that have joined arrive.

[peak charm]

Refinery?

[slender monolith]

Should be a USS Voyager entry in your Refinery if you’re Ops 30

[silver laurel]

<@&509690795536941056> We've got a problem to fix. How do you make the reward for a research ops locked but not the research? I was claiming the Premium Syndicate XP reward chest just fine until I did more research. Instead of the chest getting bigger as was advertised, it disappeared. I put in a ticket and now customer support says that they can only tell me that I "currently don't meet the requirements for the Syndicate XP Chest for the Mirror Research"...This is unnacceptable there is no Ops lock on this research until level 9 which is locked behind Ops 61. There should not be a lock on the chest itself. No other research in the game works like this where you can do the research but don't get the reward and actually lose the reward of the previous researches until you hit a certain undisclosed Ops lock. I expect a response.

[errant brook]

u can keep ur Mak'ala's Crucible.

[dire lynx]

Incredibly LAME STLABOR redeem code

[slender monolith]

Well, that one should be obvious lol

[ashen oar]

yep

[halcyon pawn]

Is there any chance of more systems for sarris invasions being opened up as having half the server in the 65 system is no fun for anyone, and you could always just post what the events are so we can crack on while we are waiting for the retrieving issue to be fixed

[silver laurel]

I doubt g6 is half your server but I would say g5- is the same way. The 2 60 systems are always full.

[slender monolith]

That is more tricky… Mine mats will certainly be some, and killing possibly faction hostiles

[tough cypress]

I agree, there hasn't been time to do any meanigful SW changes. BUT, there has been time enough to

1. Respond in discord with friendly, courteous responses to comments made here and on other channels.
2. Change the rewards/req for events that are way out of synch with player wants/needs
3. Suspend certain events that are not working at all.

We've seen zero changes that would indicate a path foward that the video says they are going, in comms or the game itself. That is concerning to say the least.

[opal crane]

Yes, I agree with all of that and have said as much lol

[wise vale]

https://tenor.com/view/ian-malcolm-jeff-goldblum-jurassic-park-dinosaur-tour-tv-gif-16496125

[tough cypress]

Throw in the actions they took since the vid in the VIP discord, and it looks like the vid was complete BS, tbh.

[honest flicker]

As a ops 42, I felt the in-game labor day claim was decent. 20 shards of SNW pike, some officer choice tokens, and a rare avatar.

[opal crane]

No arguments there. The only reason for my message is the people that were pointing at the fact that there haven't been systematic changes and saying the video is a lie BECAUSE of that.

[ashen oar]

Thanks

[worn vault]

It’s just so clear this game is near the end of its life. Events bugged on release, heavy focus on heroic spend events, lag/game crashes, and that doesn’t even touch on the help button bug that’s persisted for two weeks now. Scopley have been vague with their communication for a reason, and have avoided providing a roadmap for fixes and rework since uncertainty is best when you want to squeeze as much money as possible.

[halcyon pawn]

Beg to differ at least 300 g6 accounts
in 168 only 1700 on server factor in dormant and sub level 10 accounts rough maths is half the active players are in the 65 system

[junior sierra]

Keyword here is endure. That’s how scopes want you to feel about events and the game. Kinda how I’ve felt for the last 6 months or so, not enjoying, not having fun. Just enduring….. only thing worthwhile anymore is the community…..

[graceful jungle]

huh

[storm oracle]

So you apologised for the Hurak Arc and you listened to the Feedback, we want less grind and you do that grinding event again, really? How to punch the community in the face at it's best

[dire lynx]

@errant brook totally agree, another lousy event

[harsh gull]

What for you introduced these groupings, if you put Faction missions to "general" anyways?

[olive wraith]

another typically scopely bug. new event with no points for mission that are already finished

[ocean wagon]

That was just BS. They been saying one thing and do opposite for years

[heavy needle]

Please reopen choice rewards. The game keeps crashing on multiple devices or failing to boot up. It’s hard to claim item’s when the game isn’t working. I just gave up and put in a ticket but they usually just auto close. Which is very frustrating.

[ashen star]

https://tenor.com/view/major-league-harry-doyle-gif-21122830

[lost mica]

So STILL not able to redeem login 1st day and I've restarted multiple times and cleared caches.

[slender monolith]

Login only triggers after the daily task reset, so you have 9 hours to go

[lost mica]

So why have it on the menu RIGHT when the event pops?

[rain forum]

With the crucible symbol now constantly on , the mobile ui is even more of a mess please can sort it out , i know i can hide the icons but the stops the help button showing, please not all of us are playing on the pc or tablet

[wind prism]

Loving all the crashes, all the glitches you all do such an awesome job.

[edgy meteor]

The Engague event Daily Log on (failed) did not update when you logged on. Next, the Taking out ships (failed), it's not updating 0/50 stays . The only thing working is mining, now in the Trillium A and D, you have a time limit to take out will take about 8 trips, that's 160 mins, get the Idea? Actually you can do it in 6 with the bonus to gathering

[tough cypress]

Seriously? I'm not your freaking hamster on a wheel, scopely.

[vivid nebula]

Best way to deal with this 💩 event is to just ignore it, we knew the fake apology video was just to try and placate the whales to keep them spending, we can see the contempt scopely has for their players otherwise why drudge out this pile of doodoo. If this game lasts another 6 months I’ll be amazed.

[verbal adder]

Promo code is not working for a good portion of my alliance…

[ocean wagon]

So glad devs reduced grinding. 🤦‍♂️

[honest flicker]

They gave you 7 days to complete it. Run 50/day for 6 of the 7 days.

[tough cypress]

I understand the math...

[ocean wagon]

Still grind event. Will see how I do 👍

[idle isle]

I dont see a way to answer trivia there are no action buttons or hyperlinks

[robust wren]

you do the action that matches with the answer

[proven shoal]

i have several ships, research and buildings wanting this into the thousands. how is it so low?? pls change that, i'm not 25 :>

[honest flicker]

Regarding the Crucible event: This is probably one of the most player friendly events. You get 7 days to accumulate points from a variety of methods. There are more points available than are needed to complete the event, so you have some freedom to pick and choose which combination of "things" you do to get the points. There are solo tasks, straight grinding tasks, mining tasks, away teams, waves, armadas... Choose your own adventure! The only real downer I see is the random chance of getting any officer shards from the event store. Those should be a guarantee of at least one per pull in my opinion, but so be it. Overall, this is better than many events that force you into specific tasks if you want to score.

[hybrid urchin]

Scopely give us G5 Scraping we need it

[acoustic geyser]

https://tenor.com/m7GBKDlalpp.gif

[vapid grove]

Could be made better by reducing some of the armada solo requirements or expanding it to different ones as well

[mortal quiver]

what Ops level do you have to be for Mak’ala's Crucible – Boldly Go Event? don't see it at Ops 37 lol nor anything Store wise

[finite mural]

40+

[eager tundra]

WHERE THE HELL ARE THE TOURNAMENT REWARDS

[opaque blaze]

I don't remember seeing them either now that you mention it?

[eager tundra]

apparently we silently got the xp reward for emerald chain, but no actual rewards

[winter solar]

Dear Scopely, it is impossible to mine 50 million Trellium A in Mirror space. It takes 36 minutes to mine 2 million. But, the MU timer runs out after 25 minutes. Plus, constantly getting picked off by hunters. It would take me 13 hours of MU mining to get the A done and another 10 for the D. Are you joking? Please fix this task to a reasonable amount. 5 million, perhaps.
Thank you.

[eager tundra]

side note, speed mining officers do not work on NSEA, so take a speed crew to get where you need to faster

[pallid finch]

Scopely seriously, get your lag fixed. Arenas are no fun because of it.

[eager tundra]

you also want to mine in Dhi'Ban for trel-a, and vendor for trel-d, fastest nodes in MU

[winter solar]

@eager tundra Thanks for the tips. 👍

[eager tundra]

its been over 2 weeks since the gm apologised for the dumpsterfire thats been this game since WOK arc and all rubbish after
and nothing from anyone since
they do not give a .... so stop wasting your time and money

[eager tundra]

so, apparently, refining the exact same amount, does not equal the same on this
yet more superior scopely math

[vernal lion]

I can not recall my ship. It shows my D’Vor in space and my Envoy in the picture plus it mines Lat at D’Vor speed. If I click recall nothing happens. I can change 1 of my other ships for my D’Vor please help

[autumn badge]

Then raise a ticket. This is not the place to get help for specific in-game issues.

[vernal lion]

👍

[cosmic basin]

the game requires to much time and effort for very little rewards this why game is slowly dieing no one cba

[wise quest]

Is there a reason a Maxed Eviscerator cannot reach the 68 and 70 Gorn systems? Seems like an oversight.

[queen creek]

I've mentioned this before and got nothing but crickets. You would think a ship made for one specific task would be good at said task.

[haughty sail]

they sold the eviscerator too long ago so they forgot it's there, only focus on the recent junk added to sell more packs and ignore any feedback about anything else. typical scopely

[storm oracle]

How are we supposed to do those Events, tried the Solo Waves one but with the constant lag i already lost 2 Waves on 2/5, great Game experience!

[dull canopy]

I just levled to OPS 50 and already did upgrade Armada building and Awayteam building before so I will not get the points for the "race to G5?

[barren sparrow]

Hey, scopely here is an idea that might, just might save u all. Stop making everything 100 dollar and show more consideration to free to play members

[gentle shale]

<@&509690795536941056> re: Mak’al’a Crucible

To best of your understanding …

1). Will there be future runs of this event?
2). Will the currency from this run carry forward or does it need to be spent?

[gentle shale]

I don’t disagree with you but it’s the big spending folks who don’t blink at $100 packs that keep this game F2P. I think there are other F2P improvements that can be made (eg, Day 1 F2P event ships w/ packs to quickly level up).

[barren sparrow]

I am aware that there is no perfect solution to it. Maybe change it to where there's 2 version of packs standard then elite

[gaunt perch]

This probably has been mentioned more often (sorry for that), but scopely really needs to add 6* mining nodes. They pushing people to g6, which means there are a limited amount of 6* nodes in the starter system. Next to that, when you get a server merge (as we recently had) it is nearly impossible to find a node

[honest flicker]

Agreed, they could improve the Crucible and balance it better. One of the things to keep in mind is that as a business, the game needs to have "resource spenders" so that folks keep purchasing more resources. These include armada directives of all types. As such, anything that requires spending will have "stretch goals" with higher points available. This includes the number of solo armadas, group armadas, formations etc. that are required for the highest points. Some, like mining T-A and T-D seem a little ridiculous, though, and further balancing is needed.

[crimson lotus]

So I uninstalled and reinstalled the game per the notice, now the game wont open <@&509691205798592532> <@&509690795536941056>

[ionic void]

Game not working? For me it wont start on PC either.

[molten shell]

WHERE ARE THE CHIMERAS???????

[crimson lotus]

Nope. I hit play and it just grays out for 5 seconds then play comes back up. uninstalled again, rebooted, reinstalled, still not loading. Also before i did this stupid "fix" the chimeras were not anywhere to be found. wtf \

[dapper bramble]

Please allow me to give scoply another $100 so i can get a second GS 31, all other specialty ship i can get a second on but not the GS 31

[thorn rock]

hasta cuando este maldito juego seguira dando fallas cada vez que se hace una actualizacion semanal

[slate sandal]

Did you mine some of them? They take the current amount as benchmark for calculation.

[thorn rock]

Until when will this damn game continue to crash every time a weekly update is made?

[icy hatch]

Why rearrange where F dock is?

[gleaming path]

Anyone else not able to get into the game.

[rough niche]

Yep. I still think im going loco loco...or my phone screen is wonky

[hollow plover]

Star Trek Fleet Command_BurstDebugInformation_DoNotShip - maybe you want to reevaluate your deploy process 😅

[thorn rock]

I really find the technical support page insulting, when they don't even send you any kind of message about receiving the fault information. They don't even give you an estimated response time to solve the problem.

[weary cedar]

Just got home and an update for the PC client with no announcement?

[vast oyster]

As someone who has just quit over this horrible arc. I save 30 mins by not collecting stuff, 15 mins by not doing dailies, 60 to 90 mins by not doing events. 60 mins by not doing armadas and formadas. 30 mins saved by not doing repetitive outdated grinds. I have so much free time that I think about picking up a new hobby, after 4,5 years of this game. So I want to say this arc might be the best thing you published as it was the straw that broke the camels neck.

[torpid cargo]

And then gave 120 seconds of that free time back by posting here......

[modern robin]

Are there any Plans to Work on the Spinning wheel of restart?

[eager tundra]

yeah, rollback your update mistake 😆

updated pc, i seem to be fine

[vapid grove]

Yes but a thing that requires you to spend should be labeled Heroic. The issue is always the lack of communication on how these things work.

[thin matrix]

Hi there, just did update game made me do on my two fire tablets, one as issue even finding Wi-Fi, yeah I know not your problem, but worth noting.
Other one I can get into game but can only goto one system, send ship, try to go to anything else get that foggy background and none of the buttons work, have to restart tablet.
Anyone else having issues?

[eager tundra]

pc client works fine, my android version works fine too, BUT after updating pc there is more visual bugs than normal

[honest flicker]

This event isn't "heroic" because everything is ftp capable. However, the system encourages you to spend resources that come from pulls with cooldown timers, so that if players haven't stockpiled enough, they may choose to buy more in the store. This is what I was getting at.

[vast oyster]

Gotta give back to the community that kept me in this game for so long

[fluid mist]

I took a look in bug reporting before posting here is this being looked into or are the unlucky people being affected just s.o.l. Also noticed its not in known issues either

[finite mural]

Need to open a ticket for the login task

[fluid mist]

tickets take an average of 3 days arsenic if they even respond to it when I file i get an average of 5 days to wait and it's usually closed but sure I'll open a ticket and waste my time thanks

yep just tried to open ticket for a technical issue and before I could say crucible they auto closed ticket before I even got to the login issue what a waste thank god I no longer spend on this game

[finite mural]

use the email option in #👽-how-to-contact-support if the chat bot isn't working out

[muted hamlet]

STOP closing tickets after you answer and BEFORE I can even reply!!! This is new. I was on, the answer was unclear, and I had to redo everythingt to ask a single clarifying question

[cosmic knoll]

why did i need to agree to an amended privacy statement? you bringing in ads now to supliment the loss of those whales last week?

[muted hamlet]

Third time in a week! It's bad enough going through your awful, outdated chatbot once. Making me do it twice just to follow up on a confusing reply is torture.

[opaque blaze]

always use email for support. I think that bot is designed to make people go away

[muted hamlet]

I was but then they started ignoring me that way.

[fluid mist]

makes me feel like they get paid per closed ticket i know thats prolly not the case but the frequency on which tickets are closed without adequate resolution makes me think after all rofl

[mossy kernel]

with scopely that is definitely the case

[fluid mist]

it's pretty bad that with scopley I can think of the worst possible outcome of a situation and 9/10 times I'm not far off and it's not a stab at them as a whole it's just proven history over the lifespan of this game unfortunately. I wouldn't be surprised if I get muted for this comment lol.

[mossy kernel]

ive been muted for complete bs and none of their mods have the stomach to even reply to me or inquire into the matters🤦‍♂️

[kindred flame]

There should be an option to toggle off instant-warp on ships that have it to save a click or a second button on the initial warp popup like the recall has. Having to see the second window every time we warp is pretty annoying.

[hybrid iris]

Game is super glitchy and this is getting sooooo lame and boring ....

[thorn rock]

You're barely 4.5 years old and you're already screwed... imagine how I am, I've been playing this game for 8 years and every week the inept Scopely are damaging the game more... it seems like they're having a competition to see what new stupidity they'll come up with to keep making us lose our patience.

[mossy kernel]

<@&509690795536941056> highly suggest you tell your higher ups to actually join the godforsaken server and actually look at these feedback channels. otherwise please tell them expect NOBODY to BUY ANYTHING in 2026

[vast violet]

Extend Krenim Formation to 5 spot in each leg. And The same rewards for all of them.

Your update is corrupted. FIX IT!!!

[cold summit]

you've been playing this game for 8yrs? i'm simply dumbfounded. but good for you. enjoy!

I click on Play and nothing happens.

Scopely is the only company i know of, that introduces new bugs with every update, EVERY update!

[ornate flint]

Same 💩 different week

[topaz citrus]

If you have the community mod, you need to have the most recent one installed

[wooden spire]

Glad to see the GM’s promises being put into action with more bugs making the already painful-to-play game even more painful.

Remind him to be careful wiping his tears with bank notes, might get a paper cut.

[terse sand]

Getting this error in the launcher after the latest update. Worked fine prior to the update.

Running on Linux Mint via 'PlayOnLinux' (WINE).

[white plaza]

In Scoopley genius they made the borg expansion cubes obsolete .

[weak bay]

ich komme auch nicht ins Spiel

[haughty sail]

you've broken keyboard input on android tablets and it's no longer full screen on samsung phones either, absolutely amazing work there guys, broken the game on the 2 devices I play on.

[thick harbor]

PC users in my alliance report that too

[vapid grove]

The armada directives for solo and waves are not f2p available in a one week period. Not saying the event should be heroic but the tasks ie 25 borg solos where you get under that amount in a week period. 40 elite wave completions, you get 1 rub every 3 days so that would be 10 waves as f2p. Therefore anything over should have a heroic tag (if I am wrong please enlighten me how as a f2p in a on week period you can get the amount required)

[cosmic knoll]

i think illl go on a station raiding spree ... to generate a ton of compensation tickets for cs to deal with, perhaps they will get the idea that a patch rollback which can be done quickly is better than the days of tweaking code to make the patch work.

wouldnt happen if patches were tested right?

[hollow blaze]

I'm f2p too. So I haven't spent wave tokens I got from wave pass, because I saw this makala event will come. So I had enough starts. The borg part almost the same. By the time event started I had max directives + an awaiting claim of directives. F2p and all task can be done.

[olive oar]

<@&509690795536941056> would like to see a comp chest with some mirror entry tokens. have lost a lot of trellium mining time trying to navigate mirror space with all the glitches in this release.

[opaque blaze]

what is some good feedback... I know, when you do a game update, tell someone about it before you do it just in case it goes south (which is way too often)

[weak flare]

Fine work, Scopely. Absolutely wonderful. chef's kiss

[vapid grove]

Having to save is how heroics work. Or else you are saying basically that we can't play how we want but how someone else demands. If you agree with that then mat events shouldn't be heroic cause you can complete them f2p with hoarding

[cinder shadow]

how can this math be correct? <@&509691205798592532> using my NSEA to complete the trellium A task... 15,962,050/hr... then I applied the 3 mining EXO: +75% and +50% and +400% (alliance exo)... my mining rate went to 15,963,450/hr... am I missing something here?

[viscid gorge]

Exos are additive, not multiplicative. Since the NSEA has such a large bonus itself, additional bonuses are pretty much useless

[cinder shadow]

it doenst seem about right

[lunar ocean]

It's just how the game works. It sucks, but it's not a bug.

[torpid shard]

Hull health visual issue.....any fix or acknowledgement yet?

[vapid grove]

Look at the % bonus the nsea gets for me it is like 7500000% that 400% bonus would make 7500400%

[leaden lintel]

Are we gonna get any update on the problems with the latest update - or even what it was supposed to fix?

[viscid gorge]

I've heard that it was an untested update to Unity 6

[trim skiff]

Apparently, if you are on a Win7 computer, $copley just gave you the finger. That's who seems to be affected - Win7 users.

Whoops. Last was in regards to the whole not being able to start game issue.

[sullen portal]

When do we get another update to fix all the rendering glitches from last patch / unity engine update?

[edgy belfry]

About the recent update (as far as i understand):

Unity 6, which the game updated to, dropped support for anything below Windows 10. A very reasonable step given end of support and security risks around older windows versions.

I see in various discords players at a loss why their game stopped working on PC after an update. Thats why!

Thanks!

[acoustic geyser]

It's worse than that. Scopely the company should be reading the patch notes and communicating with their players who play their game. It's not reasonable for people to expect to find out after their upgrades that this happened.

And while you might be correct, people should be upset none of this was communicated, at all. If I was a lead dev / principal within any reasonable organisation I'd be reprimanded for not communicating this very very important piece of information.

[eager tundra]

What we all need is the ability to speed up formada's across the board, having speedups for normal group and solo madas is a tease when we cannot speed formies, implement please, #qol #mstfcga #stopignoringus #dontmuteme

[vast violet]

Great point! Make all of that happen. They could easily make it apart of the alliance tournament lvl.

[void sequoia]

I think you might mean anything below windows 11 as there are windows 10 users effected as well and users of other operating systems.

[eager tundra]

So, this event calls for a lot of armadas to be run, and when we organise for it we do it en mass:

Gives us mada events
Broken madas, constantly
Cannot complete when they keep breaking
Players are frustrated, our whales leaving the game, after 3 attempts = broken game due to bugs causing frustration and anger only been online for 15 mins tops

[halcyon pawn]

When did armadas become madas

[soft swift]

ok you need to name objects in events correctly been doing borg solos for a hour and looked at event none counted it didnt say solo type-03 i used all those directives when i didnt see them in event

[acoustic geyser]

Did you miss the "type" in the message? Yeah so did a lot of people, It's not exactly clear but it's there

[tepid bramble]

Long time ago 🙂

[ashen oar]

my games just randomly Closed

idk what is happening but i could not open the game without a Reinstal earlyer

[formal trail]

Except my system runs 11, so there's that.

[hushed rock]

The game requires you to be able to play “continuously” I was couple minutes late to TC trailblazer SMS so I didn’t complete all of the points. I am not a slave to this game. I am not sure why the game is requiring you to play it like that you are required to waste all your time on this game to completely ruin your life if you can’t play all the time.

[cold summit]

<@&509690795536941056> who is in charge of ensuring proper gameplay? More specifically, when "event creators" and then "programmers" who get involved... where is Quality Assurance in play? Who makes up certain milestones for different ops level ranges... has anyone from Scopely tried to play the game with ridiculous amount of time to try and complete dailies, events and "new events.. ie go boldly"? i understand that we don't need to finish every single task, but that is inherently the problem... people who are NOT retired and who don't have the luxury of being online playing a game all day long, they get left out of obtaining "rewards/event points".

[hearty wolf]

I run the game on both win7 and win10 pcs. Both are locked out of the game. NJBane might found a workaround and i will test it later today but this patch is effectively killing the playerbase. Its like Scopely wants us to quit lol.

[coarse sundial]

please remove 15 borg polly amards to 5 not help full to smaller allainces on bodley go in fact can we have a way to get more pollys in game cuase 1 a week is just super anoying

[worn nest]

How long does it take for a ticket to be replied to from scopley?

[wet fiber]

My personal experience has been 3-4 business days through their site, 1-2 days when you send an email, but i've also heard stories it takes 3 eternities so just like their redeems, it's all by chance and need a bit of luck

[worn nest]

Ok. It's been a week

[wet fiber]

[e-mail] is their email, i tend to always use this when i put in a ticket, for some reason they also seem more friendly. Just don't forget to name the game you're playing in the email with your player tag & ID you can copy from in game and you should be good. Added screenshots also help to get your case fixed faster

[opal crane]

Lol wut.

That's not their email.

@armagettin.8484 don't use that email.

Their contact information is here
https://discord.com/channels/509679626763632640/916412467628892170

[mint crow]

The fact that Scopely has not responded to any of the problems that I have had in the last year is ridiculous. The first thing that the auto response wants is a screen shot, this is impossible to get when warning screen pops up about your internet and game restarts. Lost Armada directives and wave cipher’s make completing events a real challenge.

[molten jungle]

A computer that runs Win 7 can run Win 10 fine. Just saying. Heck, I have an “unsupported” laptop running 11.

Also could just Linux and Wine or Wine+Bluestacks as some people do so the game shuts down quicker. 🤣

[sterile violet]

We need a change! When is Scopely going to change the attack Ops Lv of ship to ship? Why can a Ops 70 attack Ops 45 but Ops 45 can’t attack Ops 70.

Anymore else think this is upside down and backwards?

[opal crane]

if they can attack you, you can attack them. The only 'difference' would be in Territory in which everybody can attack everybody. So if an Ops 70 attacks someone outside of their bracket in territory and they try and hit back outside of territory, then they wouldn't be able to.

I do agree that the PVP ranges need to be drastically adjusted. And remove the punch up tax from the cube and the GS31 that Scopely never told us about selling us a faulty product.

[haughty sail]

technically you can attack them but what is an ops45 going to do against a 70? not even scratch the paint, even their best warship (an ops42 FKR ships) can't touch a g6 ops68 miner let alone any warship that the ops70 is using.

[coarse sundial]

areaner for explane should have ops 60-62 63-65 66-67 68-70

[carmine marten]

Please improve the spirit of “sweeps” efficiencies and have them cover more things. Ex Borg faction sweeps should cover the Faction Allegiance task attached, for example. Master surveyor battle pass events should score off transogen, even moreso now with the mining sweeps research.

[crystal furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/its-been84years-titanic-rose-dawson-gif-5372593

[mossy acorn]

We have so many hostiles that need to be auto-grinded now. The Texas class hostiles are an autogrind loop. The Augment exiles are an autogrind loop, and f2p gets access to the Reliant next week. The Transogen loop requires players to autogrind two different classes of hostiles.

And we get a new hostile next week

It's time. Please raise the daily hostile limit from 2,000 per day. Keep it modest if you must and raise it to only 2,200. Even going to 2,500 basically allows players to autogrind one more thing while we sleep. That would be so helpful honestly.

And if at the same time we got a daily counter we could check, that too would be awesome.

Enjoy your game, thanks

[soft swift]

yall should make it where 50+ can only hit 50+ or remove the level cap on our ships so we can compete with them

[odd prawn]

Wait.... We already moved to Unity 6 Sheesh only stfc could make unity 6 look bad 😞

[static wagon]

💀 This game is dead! 💀

[haughty sail]

Unity 6 update broke physical keyboard input on android devices 💩

[deft shuttle]

In the spirit of openness not telling the player base you have gone to unity 6 is unforgivable. Scopley your a joke.

[white glacier]

The deliberate lack of Epic Gas and Ore in event store turn ins and rewards is getting out of control now IMO.
Redeeming hard won event currency shouldn't feel like I'm getting conned

[opal crane]

Scopely once said there was a "reason" but there's no world where the reason is good for the players.

It's definitely time that Scopely just makes them all equal

[dawn cave]

Just been chatting on our AC. Now this has probably been asked and addressed but .....

Why haven't the other FCs got cooldown abilities yet like Lorca and Khan ?

Surely a little tweak to give them one isn't beyond you guys, providing it doesn't add more bugs and issues. Oh wait it probably will. Forget I mentioned it.

[muted hamlet]

Why are content creators and alliance comms responsible for communicating how events work and basic game info to players? Where is Scopely? If we all stopped, the game would grind to a halt. Do your job and explain how events work and what things mean. The lack of proper communication remains far and away the worst part of the job you're doing, which is really saying something

[opal crane]

That's just not the way they were built. That's like saying why doesn't the OG Vidar get an ability because the Mantis got one. It just doesn't make sense to restructure, rebuild and rebalance older features to suddenly be 1:1 with new features.

[dawn cave]

Surely not, things can be modified if they were decent at their job.

[slender monolith]

Better to make you make choices that make you want to spend money in frustration

[normal quarry]

Remove the 400 cap (or at least make it much bigger, say, 1500) and lessen the cooldown time.

[hushed rock]

Wow? Defeat 500 hostiles with Epic CT equipped. Is this the same Chaos tech if you need money to buy? The Mak’ala’s crucible is not not easy to complete. Only if you have bought it.

[nova sierra]

It's not hard to complete on. Well not some of it like the kremin formation and the epic solos. FYI you do not have to complete every task. Just enough to get the score needed.

[foggy elm]

Spocks Club got a nice update that shows what missions you have been completed. There are a ton that are completely unaccessible from the past. They aren't available in the holodeck (which sourcing the currency to buy old missions has completely dried up). Why aren't these available in some way like the holodeck and why isn't the holodeck currency available anywhere ourside the pay store?

[inland wedge]

And apparently anything below MacOS 11.0 is locked out too.

[grave hawk]

Probably.

[acoustic geyser]

I'm free to play and have epic CTs in the mid 50s. If you don't either your account is to low or you haven't done any revenant related content yet. Start there and good luck

[opal crane]

It honestly has nothing to do with them being "decent at their job" the Level of Effort that would be required for every single novel feature would be absolutely bonkers.

You think things are slow now? LOL just you wait. It really just doesn't make sense to go back and add novel features as they are created to every single previous item.

[untold frost]

Hey, Scopely. Now that the Mirror Universe is over a year old, it would be really great if my ship could "use" the rift while it was inside it, instead of you giving me a popup telling me that it can't, despite my Freaking ship being in the Freaking circle, just like the bazillion times before over the last year+.

Just saying, there's a super annoying bug that even your most junior programmer should be able to squash in an afternoon...

[rapid shore]

Instead of focusing on the little things, how about telling people who use chromebooks that they won't be able to play the game? Unity 6 doesnt support chrome os and we had 0 warning

[trim skiff]

Reliant with Q Cannon or Echo Papa in Letoria, and go do something else. Self completing task.

[hollow blaze]

Let just put that bug next to broken voyager mining systems (which are broken since released, almost 2,5 years). You will forget MU bugs once it joins IA.

[nova sierra]

People still mine in DQ?

[acoustic geyser]

Lots of g3 and g4 players still making their way up. So sure it happens

[hollow blaze]

Guess new players do, or have to. Of course most of us having Voy maxed in IA, we don't.

[dawn ice]

Alt got muted huh. Maybe you should just stop whining altogether

[hollow plover]

Unnecessary cooldown for trading every 5x 4k

[unreal jolt]

this game is getting boring and is quickly becoming a chore to play... i request APAC 201 fights a 2v1 for next incursions or give us incursions twice a month😂 or even cross region please 🙏

[eager tundra]

i second this, 201 vs everyone else

[trim osprey]

I think thats a great idea, it will finally allow other APAC teams a fair advantage against 201

[torn ridge]

still wouldnt be fair 😂

[void adder]

isnt that why we had a bye this time cause we beat everyone every time?

[acoustic geyser]

It's the 201 takeover, resistance is futile

[latent linden]

guys be careful... we'd hate to draw the ire of streamers again... after beating other regions we'd then be told we wouldnt win against the GM's

[eager tundra]

funny thing is we are all in the same alliance 🦾

#blameomean

[latent linden]

to be fair... we are tryna work on that

[trim osprey]

We should have a mass boot from allliance button option

[eager tundra]

#boot'n'loot

[noble root]

Still need official notice that you are going to stop punishing the players and bring back end of arc event stores. Until then, I have no interest in paying to play this game anymore. As long as your policy of "let's take things away that the players have come to depend on" stays in place, then I will also be taking away my financial support of your game. Quid pro quo. Announce that youre bringing it back. And I will get the battlepass. Dont, and there is literally no chance of me unlocking the newest officers in a reasonable timeline, and as a direct result, i have no interest in engaging with said arc whatsoever. We need clear and constant communication at this point. Things need to be given to the playerbase to show appreciation, instead of constantly taken away.

[little parcel]

Is the game down

[muted shuttle]

Well, I think that 20 bucks will swing it, they will fix everything now.

[noble root]

Lol I spend at other times too. But im not the only one that feels this way, pretty popular sentiment at the moment, so unless you sir are such a titan of wealth that you can single handedly fund this games continuance, the folks paying for battlepasses matter too. Its exactly this flippant attitude thats losing the game players and will lose revenue. No revenue, no game for you to spend so much more than others on.

[muted shuttle]

I stopped spending Months ago, I was way ahead of the curve on that one. I just found it funny that you worded it the way you did.

[torpid cargo]

Because they are out already....old news....cash milked content never to be revisited again.

[quartz comet]

Can some explain to me why the Gorn EVISCERATOR with max warp range, (and I have every single warp range research max) cannot reach even the second to large gorn system, considering that the EVISCERATOR is specially designed to kill them???

[idle skiff]

Scopely logic!

[midnight pilot]

Can someone explain why no official communication has been issued since last Friday, and only mod announcements since.
Or you guys racing around trying to upgrade your windows 7 PCs?

[hearty ridge]

That state of the game update was just a bunch of patronizing B.S.... this year has been entirely broken promises

[proven nymph]

I wouldn't like to address priority away team missions. If it says you have a 100% crit chance it should succeed. Not fail. Also, it feels like if you speed up a priority mission it increases the chances or causes it to automatically fail. I had a 100% crit chance sped it up because of The crucible event and it failed. I have put in a ticket however I wanted to say what happened here.

[prime socket]

You want feedback? Here’s some feedback.
Start listening to regular players and not just the whales on the vip server.
And FIX THE BUGS.

[stoic plaza]

Ditto, I would like to know whether Im done playing the game for good or not. I live way below the poverty line, so a better computer or device and updated operating system, they are not gonna happen. It's been days since the "issue was brought up" in known issues. People are locked out of the game, that's a pretty big issue to ignore for several days. I just want to know, so I can move on to another game. It's been a lovely year, but this is just so disappointing.

[quick gale]

So now lucky miner is making my ships appear oc before they were. I’ve logged in a few times and found that despite a pc of 550k and mining a 500k node with empty ship that I see myself being at 800k but I was empty when I started. This is a new issue in the last few days.

Also deployed ships health bars keep disappearing

[lean otter]

Well, to start, so many typos in the blog. No one proofed it? https://startrekfleetcommand.com/news/state-of-the-game-september-2025/

[muted hamlet]

gotta learn to walk before you can run. I'm just happy they're addressing things. Though actually doing things would be nice too

[ebon oyster]

Just want to say thank you for the frank communication in the latest update, it's exactly what we want to see in communication going forwards with clear notes on what you're going to be doing and why you're doing it, even if not every change is popular.

[midnight pilot]

Wow an announcement with 0 substance...no detail just more philibustering
Seriously nothing on how you've not communicated for over a week nothing about unity B4 rollout, and now even more players locked out. But what do you do

Nothing just simple press release with no substance

[unreal saddle]

No g5 scrapping is one of last pins in coffin, stupid exuses about efficiency. Scopely forgot that efficiency also cost time/money to get… im very very disappointed 😑😑😑

[ashen falcon]

The scrapping part of the Blog post summed up, "You have been getting g5 epic or and gas to easily from scrapping. We intended that to be primarily acquired through purchases. We here at Dopely are committed to forcing players into spending money wherever possible and the scrapping mechanic is working against us in that regard. This will be remedied in the future."

[vocal plover]

I see there’s a lot of whale tears going on 🤣🤣🤣

[pine meteor]

☝🏽 I said it was the dark jelly all over again

[dreamy cypress]

Even more tone deafness from the corporate money grubbers. That is completely BS. nerfing a mechanic that you gave us just because you want more of our money to but parts and mats?!?!?!?! I am beyond furious by that. Stay safe out there in the universe. Signing off for a bit.

[whole timber]

G5 scrapping not being release when F2P are hitting the 60s now is bad. Every MMO allow you to scrap gear (ships) and get some form of ressources / items back.

[unreal saddle]

It is a LEGENDARY money grab for sure

[lunar ocean]

is all I have to say for that blog post. I don't think there was a single good thing mentioned there. And I assume that adding G6 Freebooters has been forgotten about completely. The level of tonedeafness is unbelievable.

I'm still unconvinced that this game isn't intentionally being pumped and dumped.

[azure spruce]

Wow. I did not think they could offer a more tone-deaf and blatantly greedy "update" than the GM video, but it looks like I was wrong.

"We want to assure our G3 & G4 players we'll be taking better care of them." -> "Starting this month, we're going to focus on mid-G5 and beyond!"

"Taking away choice rewards to help you "focus" on your path..."

"We're worried about G5 scrapping being too good..."

"We saw a Borg Cube beat a Vengeance, can't have that!!!!!111one😭"

HOW are you guys so mindblowingly bad at this?

🤡🐂💩

[ashen falcon]

Not only that but the current scrapping is one of the only ways to get g5 epic ore and gas. They seem to be taking issue with that fact...

[hollow plover]

use normal digits and if you want to use a proportional font... or present it in the most ugliest way possible

[fallen temple]

Level 69. been waiting for the promised g5 scrapping all year. sounds like at least 6 months additional. By then g5 scrapping will be useless to me. Thx scopely. Probably should quit the game over this. It's a huge deal to me. I jwas a medium spender until the awful arcs shich started this year. NOw f2p Will continue for the foreseable future. No more spending.

[muted hamlet]

"New content moving forward will be focused on the higher levels" - moving forward? It's been that way for at least 18 months, are you kidding? Transogen hazard systems anybody?

[slim sky]

Would be nice to have other aspects in the game besides killing hostiles and mining. Some inner ally or inter ally trading would be nice. Look to other games

[carmine marten]

Kudos for the overall improved directness of the latest blog. However. This sticks out like a sore thumb. Remind us how we get ANY meaningful epic g5 ore or gas outside scrapping? You just want us to buy packs, right?

Oh, and how does exploring the galaxy and interacting with players get us all the materials we need for ships and ops? We don’t? Oh that’s right, more packs. Again kudos for acknowledging your issue with it (scrapping is too lucrative), but bold faced lie on what you expect players to do about it.

[ashen falcon]

Internal game economy would be amazing. WOW had, probably still has, players who only play to trade on the auction house. Buying and selling items for profit wherever possible.
We even have an entire faction in Star Trek as the basis for this.

[merry comet]

I appreciate the communication, even if it's an ad, but was it 100% necessary to use emojis? If anything, they take away from the readability

[smoky totem]

New blog summary, we are targeting content to milk every last dollar before we shut it down, due to this we will not offer G5 scrapping cause G6 won't buy packs and we will make all content for higher levels who likely spend more. Did I get that right Scopely?

[hoary lynx]

How does this work for players who haven't sourced the relevant ships yet?

[vocal plover]

The only reason they’re not doing scrapping now is because so many people are in that area. They wanna try to milk as much cash as they can. Lololll

[narrow scarab]

this is total bs how long have we waited for G5 scrapping????????????? its not hard to bring it out its not a new mechanic its already in game all they have to do is work out the rewards for each ship we can scrap, as a limited spend player who is at G6 now this was one thing i was looking forward to more than anythi ng total bs

[kind star]

After the pathetic announcement from Scopely (no g5 scrapping), they will continue to lose players and money. Serves them right.

[fallen temple]

After the last 6 months, which have been disastrous on multiple levels, the game is probably in maintenance mode. They are probably working out the details to end the game by the end of 2026. Milking as much $ as possible.

[lunar ocean]

Official clarification from Scopely:

[smoky plover]

<@&509690795536941056> Not able to login on server 31.

[pastel path]

And yet you can't buy the refits in cash store? It's bad form to show us all the fancy refits and not sell them.

[red rampart]

I read the message from Conman and I'm not impressed. I don't mind the Franklin/Franklin A but I'm not a fan of the massive grind just to get the Reliant. I have 3 FtP accounts that are currently ops 37-40 and grinding for hours to get 2 BP'S a day doesn't cut it. IF you expect players to use the Reliant it needs to be in events/event stores like other similar level specialty ships (Ceritos/Defiant/Titan etc). I'm not including the Franklin A, Talios or Feesha because those ships have dedicated upgrade paths where it's easy to source the ships.

Also there needs to be a better way to source G3 Epic ships. BP's used to drop from level 39+ Veteran Faction ships so you could grind ships and rep. Now you're limited to spending Faction Credits, Away Team currency or get a few BP's a week IF you can run Epic Armadas. Yes, a T3: Voyager has the legs to get deep into G4 space but it lacks the punch to complete many missions. The G3 rare ships lack the legs to get beyond the first few systems in G4: space without using a range crew which significantly affects their combat efficiency.

Finally, what Scopely misses is that while loops (and the IA) are helpful, they actually can detract from progression.

[merry comet]

the FKR bps still drop from those hostiles

[red rampart]

@smoky plover , I just got in without any problems. IF you're on mobile try switching from Wi-Fi to 5G

[errant brook]

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-shades-off-poop-pile-jeff-goldblum-ian-malcolm-gif-17408803
Let me summarize what Conners statements mean to the community

[red rampart]

@merry comet, I haven't seen Epic G3 BPS drop on anything short of Capital Traders.

[upbeat ravine]

"We actually see G3 and G4 players play more between arcs than during them." - no kidding, maybe because we've only had a diluted version of each arc this last year?! Take the Mak'ala crucible event, limited to 40+
"The Battle Pass for G3 is shifting away from Choice Rewards." - did you even consult G3 players on this? The choice rewards were a great improvement to actually focus on the unc/rare resources you needed to tier up ships and so on...

[narrow scarab]

scrapping was always supposed to help progression but now anything they see us doing to help reduce what we spend they put a stop to but forgettingh the fact if they reduce costs of things like trasury to say £30 so many more would buy it

[red rampart]

@upbeat ravine, I agree with that. The previous system focused on Ore as the material which put Klingons at a disadvantage as Interceptors need Crystal and Gas.

[edgy bough]

@upbeat ravine They created the Flashpoint arc so G3 and early G4 couldn't participate in it. So now they are moving the goalpost again for new content further away from those players. Really doesn't make you want to keep playing this game.

[kind star]

And the most important issue remains unmentioned! When will the massive bugs finally be fixed? Where is the detailed schedule and action plan? When and how will annoying activities in the game finally be reduced? Not that I'm surprised, but no matter what the CM has said and will say, everything will remain the same! Scopely wants a lot of money for pathetically poor performance. Thank God fewer and fewer people are going along with it...

[narrow scarab]

and since scrapping was away to aid progression which they said way back when and now they realise its stopping us spending money try introducing othert things that make us weant to use the excess bps instead of building and scrapping, like refining ship bps into rss or mats, in G6 the sigma rss are a pain add two more new ships to bridge the gaps between grades and let players refine excess ship bps into them, like the Jelltfish is bridge to G4 and vengance is bridge to G7 (as it said in its page) give us a bridge ship for G5 and G6 and let us refine all excess ship bps to get bps for those. that would mean less bps to use to build and scrap ships or even better a real alliance starbase where we can trade with our alliance members' max of so many trades a week with a free set of tokens but the ability to buy more and they would make money again would mean less bps to build ships just to scrap

[smoky plover]

I had to delete the app and reinstall it

[tribal bane]

Pffft!!! Pay us $100 for something that should be sourced when your ops level hits 61 when you kill hostiles, finish dailies turn in chests instead of ones you don’t need. This is why you’re losing players

[buoyant hound]

https://media.tenor.com/tXUh3cfk9BoAAAAM/trendizisst-drama-llama.gif

[fallen spear]

Works like a charm. NOT. Restart….restart…and oh surprise…..MORE restarts 🤬

[fluid mist]

the funny thing is back when g3 was the max grade we had a spot called marketplace that was going to be the trading area for those in your alliance they scrapped that idea even way back when cause they figured less money in their pockets. Now they scrapping scrapyard it seems like so they can get more money. There's many other things as you said that they can introduce that may motivate players to spend while allowing those 95% of players who aren't whales to continue to play and enjoy the game. Which of course would keep whales happy because they'd have plenty of targets to smash their 20x stronger ships against us with that we can rarely beat other than the 1% of non whales who's can beat whales when lucky

[red rampart]

What we need is a way to convert excess BPS to something useful. There's little point to repeatedly spend the Materials and Resources to build the Non Faction G3 ships (Kehra, Vakhkas, Kumari and Horizon) because they don't help your long term progression. The ops 28 ships are easy to source and once you're high enough to scrap them, they are a way to turn excess G3 Materials into useful G4 equivalents.

[copper pecan]

The scrapyard has become a core gameplay mechanic, trying to remove it or reduce its use is a big mistake.

You mentioned that it could be used as a main path to progression, and prevent players from going out into the galaxy, but I just dont see how you could reach that conclusion.

In order to build the ship, you need to source BPs (Most often through Faction Credits).
Then to max the ship tier wise, you need resources (RSS and Mats)
Then you need to max out the ships level
Then you spend however long waiting for the ship to finish scrapping.

All of that requires you to be out and about in the galaxy, completing events, collecting resources, and engaging in content that otherwise, you'd completely ignore, because without scrapping, none of that content is relevant in any way.

[dreamy cypress]

Have I been banned now because of a bird?

[hollow blaze]

Make a "sorry video" that they messed up not listening and care about players and some weeks later: "G5 scrap won't happen or won't give good rewards, because that would be too good for players". Are you really this blind?
EDIT: This bleeds from a lot of things.
First, Efficiency researches doesn't come by free, we have to work for every bit of it.
Second, Best sourcing for rare parts was always scrapping. Stronger ship rarely helps to rush ops. Honestly since I'm getting closer to ops70 I really hoped that G5 scrapping will help with parts, because I'm bad with those.
So afterall, this "we are sorry" thing come to an end really quick! Good job.

[narrow scarab]

yeah i remeber that it was in where the shuttlebay is now or around there, it said available at ops 50 which new buildings always said then before they were released, ironically the scrapyard said the same thing before its release. We used to be able to see what new buildings were as they were being worked on

[cosmic knoll]

scopely is not listening still. glad they had to make an announcement about how they are sticking to their plan and just rewording whats happening to make it look better.

[narrow scarab]

i get niot wanting to upset thousands that spent so much but add a new mechanic that reduces cost of packs the more you buy, spend so much and you can get a big pack for half price with same stuff and multiphasics included the whales would love that, the trade or refine excess bps would have g4 and g5 players using more excess bps for other things and reduce scrapping

[tidal shale]

<@&509690795536941056> please let your overlords know that those in G6 are not happy at all ( since I can't use words stronger then that) that G5 scrapping is seeming like a pipe dream....we want it months ago and if scopely is serious about actually making it happen then they need to give us a hard date. Otherwise scopely is just blowing smoke up where the sun don't shine

[keen loom]

Second Tuesday of next week. Scopley has basically said “we’re eliminating the scrap loop as a source of progression” so even if it rolls, it’ll be a huge slap in the face.

[slate bloom]

Mirror systems, and getting a ship to them.

I have a captain one of my ships. If I tell them to ‘go there’ I expect them to be able to work out for themself how to do so.

What is the point of having a driver of bus if they can’t work out for themself how to get the bus to the destination?

Fair enough that they do not know in advance where to park the bus, they can’t see the empty parking spaces until they arrive.

I tell them to ‘go there’ and they then work out the route, and costs. ‘Sorry boss, insufficient finds.’

[narrow scarab]

so even in the scrapyars FAQ it says its for faster progression but the release today says its not working as intended, and the look ahead TO g6 stuff dont make sense its been in game for ages they really need to read their own stuff and ujnderstand the game before putting out new stuff. In short not putting G5 scrapping in and moaning about G4 scrapping being the main path through G5 is just punishing players for being good at the game like having unbalanced slbs like when i was still G5 my powwer wise at a lvl i was always on G6 boards so cuz i was patient and good at the game i got punished

[weak grove]

i waited with entering g6 until there is reasonable scrapping. guess i just won't enter G6 at all now. how stupid can one company be

[dreamy cypress]

So very true. I was able to quickly go through G5 because of G4 scrapping and I'm sitting at ops 60. Like many others I've invested loads of time and cold hard cash into this game. The money aspect almost assuredly not buying any more battle passes, officer passes, or the extra BP loot boxes. Seeing how this company has treated their VIPs killing their discord mid conversations. And the small investors like myself, and other F2P players. This is not the direction I want to see this game I enjoy go in. People who have spent way more then I have archived their accounts. I may consider the same.

[vital pawn]

Two things I'm seeeing at 53. First is, the lack of Epic 5* mats makes Tiering my uc impossible, and getting them from G5 pulls is non existent. Not going to make me rush to level up, actually will slow me down.

Other would be if someone waited the 100 days to unlock a ship, may want to have a non $100 fast track to get it past T1, like you do with older ships. If we waited this long we're not going to buckle now

[fading bramble]

One day you'll have to explain why you hate your customers so much, why you fight against them, why your only motivation is to prevent them from enjoying your game.

You forget that you only sell virtual goods, nothing real except pixels or numbers.

One day you'll understand that happy players who enjoy themselves are more likely to pay for packs than players who are constantly frustrated and beaten down by battle passes they no longer pay for.

You're not achieving your financial goals because instead of creating exciting content for players, you're creating a business plan for how to make as much money as possible.

[tepid basin]

"exploring the galaxy" get off your high horses this ain't no man's sky

[spiral stump]

Did you forget how many people ran to the store to buy the Squall on day one?

[minor prairie]

If your new focus is going to be to focus on Ops 51+ for new content as your State of the Game states , you need to drastically accelerate adding new ships to the Independent Archives. Beyond that you need to start offering a lot more resources to G3 and G4 players so that they can get research and buildings done a lot faster so that it is worth them pushing to 51+ so they can access the new content. Because as a level 39 player at the moment, I can tell you that with where I am I'd be silly to push to 40 any time soon let alone 51. I know your philosophy is that players should always push forward, but we have discovered that is actually a bad idea because it makes the content that is already there too hard.

[spiral stump]

It's another money play. Get us to push Ops and then have to spend to play catch up with researches and everything else. I, for one, refuse to fall into this trap. I'll keep building slow.

[fluid mist]

as I just to my alliance discord or instead of them giving us 100s of g2 and g3 bps whenever we kill any hostile slow down those low leveled ship bps or base it off what lv of hostile you're hitting that would lower the amount of g3,g4 ships we're building and scrapping to fund g5+ it's a simple balance scale don't remove stuff limit it to graded bps to graded hostiles

[minor prairie]

No doubt. But I will always play the way I want to play, not the way they want me to play. If I spend I am more likely to spend a small amount to fix a mistake I make rather than to rush through content rather than to take my time to actually enjoy it.

[spiral stump]

I get ya there. I've wanted to spend on this game. But all the bugs and constantly breaking functions makes me believe Scopely doesn't even use what we give them for proper game upkeep. I wouldn't buy a broken window. So why buy from a broken game? lol

[wooden spire]

This is just too good, it’s like a movie.

The GM’s announcement is akin to the band still playing as the Titanic sinks.

I can’t wait for the next instalment; it’s far more exciting than the laggy “adjusting, preparing, activating” game.

[minor prairie]

Furthermore, moving away from Choice Rewards for G3 and G4 players is a mistake. Players like having choices. "More straight forward" is not better than having choices and getting to play the game the way we want to play. As for what will help us G3 players, it is mostly Uncommon and rare refined Gas, Ore and Crystal for ship and buildings upgrades that bottleneck us. I assume the same is true for G4, just with G4 mats. So, giving us a lot more of those will help us G3 and G4 players reach the new content. Also, making it easier to get ships that are needed before advancing (such as Enterprise) would help a lot.

[gilded escarp]

It’s clear the overlords don’t care for this game. It’s their least profitable game, but could be a lot higher if, and I mean, IF, they’d actually listen to player feedback or even offered smaller priced packs like they do in their other games like Monopoly Go. But since that requires them to actually put forth effort they won’t do it. It’s sad.

[vital pawn]

With the brain drain to Pokemon go, I'm not sure they are still capable of this...

[spiral stump]

It's really sad. After seeing the greed on display here I've sworn to never install another Scopely game.

[fluid mist]

well this might be it guys where stfc finally tells us it's dead/done I know that I'm gonna pay way more attention to who makes games or who is a partner to a game company before I ever download or buy a game again. I'd rather play 80's to 2010 games and nothing else than play these type of greed over happy/ nostalgia games. end of the year is my end date if not sooner unless game drastically changes

[near warren]

totally forgotting G3 and G4 and events for the Franklin that is archived? The overlords lost their minds again.

[urban verge]

It's genuinely crazy that g5 scrapping is not here already.

[lost arch]

When i read this and see the video the problem is the GM. He has to go! Fire his useless As..

[rare vale]

That State of the Game release was simply awful. Sure, there was some good info, but most of it was telling us how much their going to increase progression while telling us of all the ways they're going to hinder progression (lack of choice tokens for lower ops players, lack of G5 scrapping, and no mention of improving sigma speedups sourcing/cost).

Once again it just seems like so much of the player comments/concerns are not being addressed, and even the ones being addressed are done so poorly.

[tidal shale]

Probably be better if we all go instead.....not like talking to them seems to make a difference

[spiral stump]

Welcome to Star Trek Fail Command.

[nocturne phoenix]

Scopely apologies are a bit like the opening Credits of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, 'we apologise for the the earlier apology' incoming...

[tawdry flax]

"optional deeper engagement through Heroics and Ticketed Events" Why are y'all like this? Pushing forward with the a hates aspect of the game by labling it "optional". It's all optional Conner.

[spiral stump]

More like those old BP oil spill apologies.

[reef torrent]

I want to reiterate what others have said, especially about this part as a G4 player. This doesn't help at all. You're ruining our lower levels' gameplay to push people to OPS up when they aren't ready. I have people in the 50s on S84 that are have my power, OPS 49, and they still keep pushing levels. You add content they want to do, because you say it'll be great, but it's crap. It's ridiculously slow to get Reliant, GS, and Squall, yet you want to make more content geared towards USING those? Come on now. What happened to adding more stuff to the Archive? The starbase is useless as all hell, except for the research. Do something with it. Other than raid-geared content. Make it an exchage or something for the alliances to use. A lot of the announcement was so vague, too. Give us information on what you ARE doing.

[copper dust]

I'd bet this channel isn't even read by decision makers. Because if it is then they just revel in the idea of doing the exact opposite of what people want or ask for.
Very rarely have I seen a game hate their user base this much.

[tidal notch]

I've been passing it on.

[minor prairie]

The way it always works with large studios (and sometimes even small and mid-sized ones) is that Community Managers read it and pass it on to the decision makers.

[copper dust]

"This has had a big effect on how players move through G5, and it risks turning scrapping into a main path of progression. That’s not the experience we want." Translation, 'We want your card to be the main progression path as we always wanted! If you don't pay, we despise you...if you pay, we still despise you, just a little less.'

[bold marlin]

#⭐-official-announcements message

WOW.

Conclusive proof (as if it’s needed) that the ransom video was nothing but an exercise in gaslighting.

He outright lied about new G3-G4 content and confirmed it with this post. This poorly spellchecked missive is proof positive that the guy has no business being in charge.

The Frankin? You think that the Franklin needs targets? The most irrelevant ship in the game, second only to the Sarcophagus in its uselessness to players?

What game are you even playing?

I honestly didn’t think the contempt you have very clearly have for players couldn’t be highlighted more.

You need someone who actually plays the game in charge.

[mossy kernel]

You are making events for people with reliants? You better be giving those bps in a weekly event because nobody in g3+ that hasnt bought it already will bother to buy it to participate in events

[coarse sundial]

was wonding when we have a 2 wek+ arc break any chance next time we could have an addation ticket weeknd saldey gm for got about g6 players aging

[silent gorge]

This latest blog post is disappointing.

It doesn't feel like Conor/et al. consider the investment players put in. First we are spending time and credits to get BPs, then all the mats and XP to finally get it maxed, and then the days/weeks to scrap.

Sure you have some spenders that have dozens of ships ready, we had that in G3 as well, that is the game you developed.

G5 scrapping would only make G6 slightly easier for the vast majority, which you would expect Scopely to want more in G6 as they prepare to release G7, so now they are hurting progression and angering the players.

The poor rollout and continued execution of WoK had me pause spending. Transpoint continued that trend. This latest blog post does not give me hope going forward.

Creating something a little challenging makes sense, but the past few months have really felt like the Devs have only contempt for their player base and are intentionally trying to make people leave so it is easier to justify shuttering this game.

[tacit wind]

Conor's new announcement is tone deaf and completely misses the mark. It's like he and his people are playing an entirely different game. I'd honestly rather them not do anything than whatever they're planning. The reasoning given for not giving us G5 scrapping is asinine and a middle finger to us.

[coarse sundial]

so iterrsting we be posimesed mroe high end mission more areas for xboge more progress ops 69-70 we come to all most complet stop thats why some top end people are leave, I have spent over the years wisley on right pack but do not cosinder my self a whale, But realy GM please think about whats comiong on nextexpation of the game yes give 63-g5 help but for love of god help g6 players to progress and servers to expaned in the right way may be muilty arc for g3 to g6 diffrent events rewards misisons as you progress to next tire e.g g3 to g4 you then get that tires misison set

[torpid cargo]

I didn’t mind the post. I’d like to see where it ends up. I’ve heard a lot, at arc drop, that G3 and G4 can’t participate. But G4 and G4 don’t have the power ships or research to play the same arc as g5 and g6 players do. If the tone it down so it’s completable by them, then it’s not fun and too do at higher ops. Some of yall take this too seriously.

[unreal jolt]

so once again scopely has ignored it's player base... wonder how many people will quit this game now they've decided to screw us over with g5 scrapping...

[silent gorge]

I do reasonably agree with this, focusing the new arcs on higher Ops makes sense, but at the same time they should be putting a real effort into making it easier for players to progress through G3/G4 to reach the new content, and that has not been done well.
My main is mid-G6, my alt is early G4, and it was still a real pain to work towards and get a G3 epic high tier, same with the specialty ships, there should be quicker and easier sourcing for stuff like the Titan-A / NX / Monaveen / etc to help drive players to want to go to G5+, not the same crawl we had to go through.

Franklin is done and useless, adding new events for that makes no sense, kill it off like we had hoped IA would do.

[viscid gorge]

Scopely is seeming like a little kid who made up a game with complicated and self-serving rules, who then throws a tantrum because someone was able use the rules to actually win (wrt G5 scrapping)

[frank trellis]

I completely agree. I’m so glad I did not go to G6 and I might never. This sounds to me like they are going right back to the formula that created this problem in the first place. I’ll give it until December and if nothing changes then it’s time to call it quits.

[coarse sundial]

witch gose back to when we get new mission they need to be tired out fealey to all levels to all players and reward as such not just asking high end players to do low end mission cuase devs can not be bothered to code other wise like mrj says people at this end will give up

[unreal jolt]

tbh though i'm not surprised scopely are going down this route... Year of H*ll indeed... focus on quality once instead of giving us useless trash and more grinds which turn this game into a chore/job... this is ridiculous... I'll probably end up quitting soon, only really continue due to my alliance and the fact that I don't really want the money i've spent going to waste 😮‍💨

[magic cedar]

Yes, reliant was a nice addition, but the side part with ATAs was absolute junk. After having 3 prio ATA slots since almost the beginning, today I got my first Khan's quest. My FC Khan is maxed from ages ago. Now judge for yourself from the screenshots:

Can we get Scopely to release for public review their RNG code? Maybe they gain back our trust.

[coarse sundial]

so hear our please hear are call missions for all tiress progress for all tires arc that make some kind of sence fun and well explroation please fix bugs

[grave hawk]

Took a little bit to get over some of the fomo... I was never the biggest spender but I certainly gave scopley some. Ever since I made the decision to go pure free to play, this game is a whole lot more fun. Since my server (49) is essentially dead and I'm just hanging out with my guys, I've distilled my gameplay to the bare minimum and just enjoy chatting with my guys a little bit. Wonder how we'll keep in touch when this is all over in the next few months?

Getting Content Right for Every Level

Higher Ops players cried too much when we released content that was supportive of Lower Ops players, and Lower Ops cried too much when we released content that was supportive of Higher Ops players. So, instead of being thoughtful about our game design that could scale across the generations and take G7 into consideration, we are going to simply not put out any novel content that all of the player base has been requesting!

We noticed that lower ops players were not spending enough on specialty packs because they were able to cater the 'Choice Rewards' to exactly what they need for progression, so we are taking that away from them! We will also be releasing new Primes for G3 players that hold 1/1000th of the value of that of the higher ops players to make existing in STFC more costly and less satisfying!

Stronger Together: Alliances Front and Center

We know that every single player wants to be in an alliance and to consolidate Whales on each server, we are going to be releasing more content that will make more players feel isolated if they don't play a very specific way. You enjoy playing on your own? Well, we don't care! Git gud, you uncharismatic degen!

U.S.S. Vengeance

Eeeeek! Our Mega Blue Whales have HEAVILY complained about how trash this ship is, and how some PooR Regular Whale is beating the ship they spent 20k USD on! This is totally not fair, and we plan to address it by making the PooRs less gooder so our Mega Whales can feel all warm and tingly about themselves!

[opal crane]

The PR Firm of Bobbie and Boops presents "State of the Game – September 2025 - Abridged Version - Pt2"

The future of Shipyard Management

We buried the lead on this one! We noticed how ship scrapping allowed the PooRs to have a chance of competing with the mega whales on resources and to grow at THEIR pace... and that's just not acceptable. These "people" if you can call them that thought that they could bypass buying packs to progress at a rate that they preferred!? Straight to Jail! We are going to make all growth in the absolutely horrendous G6 Economy gain nothing by G5 scrapping! Why? There's a pack for that, you PooR! You thought we included scrapping to help drive progression?!? HA! You're lucky we didn't do our FIRST option of destroying your ships and giving you NOTHING! Now... Bark like you want it!

Performance and Stability

We rolled out Unity 6 for all players, knowing that it would get rid of the PooRs with PooR people devices. The rest of you? Thank us for making the game more stable now that fewer players are playing that are among the PooR Tax Bracket.

Charting the Course Beyond September

Aren't you excited? We really wanted to honour the 60 years of legacy that is Star Trek. There's so many lessons we have learned as both a company and as a team of individuals. Such a wonderful story of how the Ferengi really overcame all odds set against them to create a truly perfect society driven on acquisition of wealth.. you know... the true meaning of Star Trek. A future that Gene Roddenberry is definitely not rolling in his grave over.

[turbid wolf]

just finished the state of the game and what in the world?

[frank trellis]

It was obvious to me the contempt he has for his own customers in the video. The overt hypocrisy and shameless confirmation that they are not interested AT ALL in what their customers want is justifying evidence for me when I called out the ransom video for the patronizing garbage we now definitively know it to be.

[cunning rover]

I just read the update and hoo boy am I disappointed.
-New content for 45+: the average ops on S34 is 43ish.. which means that more than half of the player base is going to be racing to 45 for new stuff and suffering because they don't have the juice to do anything, or they'll simply miss out. In fact based on stats only FIVE servers have an average ops of 45. Focusing on the Franklin and Reliant? One ship that is practically obsolete at 40+, and another that is BARELY within reach for F2P. What this reads to me: if you're not racing up you don't matter to us, and we'll make you suffer for it.
-Alliance events: I'm cautiously optimistic, but in a day where a lot of people's desire to keep playing is waning, this could cause strife within the alliance and make them implode when people quit for not wanting to hear about it. Tread lightly.
-Vengeance: OH MY GOODNESS, the whale-exclusive ship is taking L's to Cubes? Respectfully: cry me a river.
-Scrapping: yes, efficiencies have made the scrap yard very handy to exploit. But that was the point, right? That's why G3 players scrap the awful Mayflowers to get some G4 loot for research. I'm sorry, but the situation with the scrap yard is a making of the dev's own doing.. if the result isn't what was desired, maybe someone should be looking at a big board of "if we make change X, how will it impact other things downstream?" instead of just YOLO'ng changes. Not unlike the outrageous latinum mining buff from research that had "unintended consequences" at launch, this is all easily forecasted.. nobody is perfect (myself most of all), but these aren't difficult things to test in beta and tweak before rolling out to prod, and changing them later isn't a good look, particularly when you're also saying "G5 or go home".

Please believe me when I say that I try to give the devs the benefit of the doubt, and while I genuinely appreciate the communication this is pretty tone-deaf.

[granite grail]

Ok, so it's taken a few weeks to literally fix nothing, make the lag somehow much worse, ignore every point, but you can come out with a tone deaf wall of text that seems good on paper, but misses a lot of what is truly wrong with the last 3 months of the game... 👌 awesome!

This game is going to be a ghost town before Christmas 🎄 😳

[odd prawn]

Bobbie approved

[fluid mist]

the thing is find funny is if they're doing this to convince the shareholder or powers that be thst game is dead because ppl are leaving why go through all the hoops literally just show them how many whales have archived and left never to return or how many aren't buying packs then just shut game down. But nooooo they gotta drown the game destroy it and ruin even more player's experience before they shutter game hope it doesn't bleed over to their other games on how they treated a community with a random as long as star trek has been around for games like Pokémon which let's be honest is big but has only been around for a minute compared to star trek

[minor prairie]

Good on paper? No, it seems bad even on paper.

[rapid shore]

Don't forget the unity 6 had no warning, for chrome users who now cannot use the game all of a sudden

[cinder shadow]

alright, so scopely wasnt satisfied with only the several OP 70 players that quit the game recently and now they working on having OP 68-61 players to quit too? sounds like a plan to kill the game by the end of next year... is this what is going on GM thoughts?

[frail kelp]

Folks at Scopely, you're making yourselves look ridiculous. If g5 scrapping isn't unlocked with OPS80/G7, it's all going down the drain. You're just getting too greedy, not fixing bugs anymore (help button has been broken for a year +-), and providing hardly any content. <@&509690795536941056>

[granite grail]

Also, the post seems to entirely and absolutely not mention "trashpoints" in any way shape or form... is that to avoid some kind of stank? 😅

[odd prawn]

Can I just add....

This blog post is not proof of life and reading between the lines nothing is really changing is it.

You'll still be doing copy and paste arcs that need 20 hours a day in month one so that we all get pressured into needing the new speciality ship in month 2.

Also you have pretty much stated they only thing your doing for high ops is... releasing G7

#SaveConnorsFamily

[rapid shore]

I would agree to this, but the only caviot is that they will make g5 scrapping horrible, sure it might give 1 mil Sigma para or somthing, mabey some 6* ship parts but it would be nearly insugnifigant

[frail kelp]

Better than any pointless explanations as to why it shouldn't work. Funny, the shop always works...

https://tenor.com/view/right-to-jail-right-away-fred-armisen-parks-and-rec-right-to-jail-jail-gif-1866630920936314540

[rapid shore]

I agree, but if they don't implement somthing beneficial to f2p players when they release g7... they'll lose another 20 precent, then with under populated servers they will lose spenders as they merge, and then all of a sudden stfc dies in a year

[frail kelp]

I agree, but many OPS 70 players are getting bored on my server. And in the past, a lot has been done to enable f2p players to catch up. But as in any good series, the developers lack the courage and ingenuity to develop something further in the “6th” season. They're milking the cow until it's dead.

[vivid nebula]

And of course release this blog on a Friday when there’s no CM’s, so we rant all weekend and get it out our systems

[rain pumice]

The cost difference between 1 chest and 2 is obscene... why so much? 😮‍💨

[frail kelp]

as i can see, you are not ops58, the archive solves your problem

[velvet sphinx]

Sell the game to someone else instead of letting it die. This is a toxic relationship.

BRING BACK REALTA RACING EVENTS
With ship skins
Or something similar to this event
Speed crewing for racing was great fun

Our alliance has spoken of this quite extensively over the past week and we feel the game needs more events like these, we found them both fun and exciting especially coupled with some people who liked to snipe your realta to stop you winning 😂

[unreal jolt]

all this tells me is scopely aren't making enough money... G6 is annoying enough as is, scrapping will only help but it wouldn't be a be all end all for progression... please stop with your copium and give the players what they want, deserve and were promised. what an utter disgrace

[true zealot]

Ya'll realise...giving us specialized ships who's refineries pay out resources...DAILY are way better than scrapping. Now I got a ton of mats, I could build ships...but they need to go somewhere. Would love ability to exchange ship for some other useful items.

[kindred flame]

It's actually bonkers that they're moving the requirement of ops40 forward when they are taking away resources that g3 players need to even make it that far. There aren't good ships to scrap for g3 resources (lol@43 3* uncommon ore from a scrapped Talla using days of tiering speedups in the process) so the problem of people being unable to tier the ships they need to do dailies at those higher ops will slow progression even more.

If you want g3 players to move up get out and push instead of tying them down to older content requirements. We don't get Boldly Go, we don't get Flashpoint, we don't even get event missions which are going to be holodeck I'm sure. None of that helps us move up to where you want us and noone sane is spending thousands to get to the point where you want us to spend more thousands.

[uneven karma]

Ops 50 here. Have not participated in the last two arcs and that latest release from Conor does not inspire me to go to 51. Why bother investing my time and money in a game where the player base is ignored and the GM shows obvious disdain to any feedback? Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does.

[fluid mist]

less than a year way less when you think about how many they've lost already just since may add on the vengeance issue the whales are having and no g5 scrapping and I'd be surprised if they have 40% of us max by end of year

[haughty escarp]

Use NSEA exchange for this. Will sort you out. I dont bother doing voyager grind at all

[bold marlin]

Same. I’m now 50 on my main account and I cannot stress enough how little the odds of my going further than that are. Zero reason to go further, I have a good chance of gaining any new officers by winning the SLB’s for my server. Why jeopardise that?

I’ve built the interior buildings to 50 so as to unlock as much research as I can but the docks and turrets? Stopping at 49 and going no further. And the more Scopely push or ‘encourage’ me to go up, the less likely I will. I will probably feel a greater satisfaction in not going up and frustrating them than from the game.

[chrome vortex]

What is going on?

[uneven karma]

Glad I'm not the only one, but will they listen, not a chance. We will just be told we aren't putting in enough effort. I'm also an APAC server, don't even get me started on how they have quite literally forgotten about us. Last incursions, we were all on a bye except for two servers. It's ridiculous and insulting. Not sure how they can come back from this.

[deft sinew]

Only 5 players can join a Wave Defense

[robust knoll]

Well, read the blog post. Guess I’ll begin looking for a new MMO. Scopely gets to the end of the year. No G5 scrapping for G6 plus the other non-statements has killed the deal for me

[wind prism]

Taking bets on what the scopely team breaks on Tuesdays update. God knows the stuff is not tested

[rapid shore]

Yea and the unity 6 took out another 15 ish precent

[vast nest]

Guess its time to scrap all my G4 ships asap before they nerf it

[fluid mist]

the question isn't what they'll break its what won't they break

[muted geyser]

Sooooo.... is the annoucement pretty much , we gonna go back to what we doing before?

[rain pumice]

Well, if I've leveled the Voyager high enough for the archive rewards, it becomes unnecessary, for the most part.

@narrow scarab Absolutely asinine, for real.

[white drum]

Stop movin dock E, its been in 3 different spoits in 2 bludy days

[nocturne phoenix]

Is that what a Khanquest is? I've been wondering.

[warm creek]

That GM should be fired immediately - the first message seemed forced (due to whales quitting the game) - this second message is even worse. Listen to the “regular” players, not the yes men they are taking feedback from now. I’ve just about had it with this game

[tired fossil]

this is terrible. full of Tobi g5 ships that you can't figure out! nonsense. what's the problem with making % like on g3 and g4? and where is the g7 level of ships anyway? g7 has prime resources, but no g7 game. very bad. so many people from the clan have already left the game and don't plan to play anymore. although they contributed 1000+ dollars a month to you. the end of the game as I understand it

[neon atlas]

There are 3 feedback channels here, with several excellent suggestions and people passionate about the game. Why are they not listening to these rooms?

[magic breach]

Yeah, Scopely said, "We didn't listen and we know we messed up..." then they go and say, "(paraphrased) Oh, so we are going to make the rewards for scrapping ships even smaller, since too many of you are using that to get the materials to upgrade and progress through the game." - And they wonder why so many have left and will keep leaving.... 🤦‍♂️

[honest flicker]

Ops 42 here. First, I appreciate that GM Conner (via Bek) gave us an update of some sort. This is a good start. We need more of this. It would have been even better with a video and not only a wall of text.

I can't speak to issues g5 and above have, so I won't address things targeting those players.

Feedback:

1. Streamlining progression for us is a good thing. The Independent Archives building is a good thing. Officer choice tokens is a good thing. More sourcing options for officers and artifacts are good things (even though artifact sourcing is locked behind transogen mining).

2. Research takes too dang long. Yes, we have speed ups, but there has been a LOT of research bloat since G4 was the top tier content. If Scopely wants to move us through G4 faster, then please improve the base time for G4 level research. I don't mean more exocoms or other consumables we have to activate, or other abilities we have to research and activate. I mean cut the actual base research time.

3. Bring back the full end of arc store. It already feels like Scopely is taking things away from us, the players, and replacing them with less. Give us back the catch up mechanic that we are familiar with.

4. What SPECIFICALLY are you replacing the materials choice system with? Give us more information, not less. Telling us you are going to take away what we have without SPECIFICS on what you are replacing it with is guaranteed to increase player upset and anger. Do you need to hire a psychologist or something to tell you this? First rule of de-escalation training is to give clear, specific, additional information.

5. New officers have become unimaginative, and are basically giving us the same abilities as old officers, just more powerful. This makes the older officers even more obsolete. What about giving us a system to permanently improve the stats of the older officers, such as how the acclaim system gives additional boosts to existing faction ships? Make older officers relevant again.

[hollow blaze]

They should sell the game to someone else. Our only chance to keep this game working.

[kind star]

They ruined this great game idea with their greed, ignorance, and stupidity. We are currently witnessing the last attempt to salvage something. Unfortunately, they remain greedy and ignorant, at the very least. So far, not a single promise has been kept: the game is still full of bugs, lags, and urgently needed improvements in usability are missing.

[magic breach]

One area of the Star Trek Universe that Scopely has conveniently overlooked (likely on purpose as it would mean players could really help other players and not have to buy from Scopely) is interstellar trade. The ability to trade amongst players through a market where it could have both an alliance option and a public option (like the arenas) where players could trade materials, resources, items, and other things would really go a long way in helping players progress as higher level players who have excess items for G3 - G5 could trade them, maybe for latinum, or other things. It could also be used to allow us to trade in old unused EoA store credits. And being Scopely, they could offer both a F2P side to the market and a "Heroic" side where additional slots could be bought to allow for more or better trades.

[remote flume]

Retweet! 🤣

[cold summit]

i may have to delete the game just so I can hold onto my sanity

[eager tundra]

i truly believe you have no idea how this game operates. if you did, youd know that this function would turn the game upside down.

if they added a trading function you can expect:
all the free stuff to now be paid content, they need to make money so it would come from those prepared to pay..
expect the trade system to be super expensive due to the above, meaning only the whales and those at im guessing ops70 only to actually have resources to trade to g5 players and lower. also keep in mind that those ops70s would never ever trade anything sigma related, thats like gold in this game, is so scarce it would be worth more than your life (figuratively speaking).

as much as others think this is needed, it wont happen

[pale garnet]

how many more months before refinery/ forbidden tech actually pulls bells for q's trials, been a few months already, and p.s. this chat box freezes up whenever somebody else is typing , so takes too much time just to type a message to post, it needs looked into, is technically a bug for you lot to report to discord

[magic breach]

You must have missed the part where I said, the "why" for them not using the function yet. We all know exactly how Scopely would make it an impossible thing to actually trade, as they already make most things in this game too expensive. It doesn't mean it still couldn't have some merit to it. After all, they have pretty much messed up everything else in this game, and yet people still play it.

[eager tundra]

i still play due to the people i had chosen to surround myself with, and they keep me here.
my gamer family, i wouldnt replace them for the world.
thats why im still playing, not the game itself
imo, this money sink is the pits, constant money grab arcs annoy me, wont buy a single thing - unless you add more cheap primes to the battlepass

[clever snow]

When WOK officers will add to chaos token shop?

[magic breach]

Same with most of us.
Right now, the Alliance Tournament store is where the goods have been decent. Just have to wait a long time between shopping sprees.

[cold summit]

i'm glad you have found a group of online friends to bond with. however, having friends that you also meet in person is better

[eager tundra]

DO NOT get me started on alliance tourneys
AT needs so much work
but is a great place for free primes and paid ft weapon sourcing
and emerald chain is great

i go see mates whenever i can, as often as i can @cold summit

need more ways to get syndicate rep tbh

[magic breach]

100% the tournament itself is terrible and unimaginative to say the least. But yes, the store has helped.

[cold summit]

you can gain more syndi points via faction store, artifact and favors, and obviously through select research (primes included)

[eager tundra]

i said more ways, current is not enough, 110k a day is a slow drip feed esp when chasing max rep

[hollow blaze]

So far AT turned to be one of my favourite events. Can be done in 5 min and great rewards compared anything else.

[frigid geode]

#⭐-official-announcements message
Sooo ... increasing Material Events to ridiculus amounts of the current OPS grade material ... and cancelling the Scrapping thing ... NICE 🤢

[manic python]

i have to say something nice 😁, i like the event where we can get upgrade material for the special ships. it helped me to fix a mistake with scraping my revenent before saving enough material to get it back to tier 10 😆

[keen bolt]

Why do scopely allow in Game racism and personal persecution of players

[turbid wolf]

add in the hijacked ships to scrapping and speed ups

[muted shuttle]

Does anyone know the last time the “Community Manager” responded to anyone. Seems like this channel has just become a massive Echo Chamber. Guess they only have ears for the “VIP/Whale” Discord, us lowly plebs just get to shout into the abyss.

[gusty fractal]

About "State of the Game – September 2025"

First of all: nothing, no words, nothing about PvP events or content or something else and this is correct because STFC is not a MMO (that is interaction among players, not only reading names in SLBs) game in game since you added the first Arc Content.

Anyway, it's true: players play more during Arc than between Arcs because to play events they can simply use their ships in auto-grind in Augment Space and log-in once every H hours (why do some players have complained about "Transogen Malus" in "Flashpoint Space"? Because they don't like to log-in often).

They play more between Arcs because there are events that require to play actively such as "Mega Cube" or "Faction Hunt" event: can they play in auto-grind? No, they can not.

So, please don't add new systems, new mechanics but use what you have, re-work unused Space such as Borg, Exchange, Delta Quadrant, Cardassian...yeah, Cardassian: I don't kill one Cardassian hostile since...9 months? one year? more?I don't know.

How not to forget "Starbase": Starbase could be the best PvP Content that could work 24 hours per day, every day: why? As suggestion, an alliance with at least one territory in Origin Space must deploy it there and defend it (attack cooldown equals to takeover time to steal related materials and points in "Alliance Retribution" progression (that is where you can donate to increase your alliance level)).

You Scopely have everything to build a good game but you have to let everyone play because if I want to start to play now I need at least one year to become a usefull G4 player and at least another year to have the ship and the crew to play IMS/SLB events actively...I don't have 2 years or 18 months to spend to play a mobile game.

Best regards.

Even AI bots know just how bad they are.

When AI has an objective opinion about you, you know you’ve sunk low.

BTW. Lag so bad that you can’t freeze augments without your ship either getting caught or not responding to your warp cancel.

They only respond to a gif or sandwich comment anything non serious

I can confirm this, i been posting stuff here for like 2 years and i have only got a reply when i posted a Gif saying "this is the end"

[haughty sail]

Community manager is there to manage the outrage of the community and give the illusion this game and company gives a flying you know what about us (the letter for the word already got the message blocked shows how much of a free speech we have here)

[slender monolith]

I must be doing something wrong…

[hollow blaze]

You know they didn't lie 😂 in January they warned us: Year of hell

[vast nest]

And unlike CBS, Scopely committed to making it a full year instead of just a two-parter

[hollow blaze]

This is clearly a more faithful promise than last year's "Quality over Quantity" one 😅

[tired rapids]

I found the blog from the GM rather offensive in saying that scrapping to help tier the ships we intend to use wasn’t a valid way to help progress. We have to spend a lot of time and resources on research and mining to progress. Then saying that scrapping to assist progression shouldn’t be allowed to continue to go from 5* to 6* to be rather offensive. The game already has problems introducing new grinds and resources that diminish the value of previous hard rewards and earned content. I found those comments to be a slap in the face.

[spark flume]

I think there is a massive incentivization issue they want us to engage with new content only and advance while we have no rewards for finishing the old content so we sit and get frustrated not doing the new stuff because we still have the old stuff.

There's been a massive lack events that were actually engaging and fun for all members of our alliance rather than just a focus on the new Arc and specialty spend events

1. Chaos attack
2. Specialty ship upgrade and research upgrade
3. Specialty Buildings upgrade
4. Faction Credit spend events including exborg(instead of just DTI and Wraith credits)
5. FKR rep grind
6. Any event that awards Syndicate XP
   -- Don't think we haven't noticed since you released the syndicate expansion. Those events have mysteriously disappeared

Many members of my alliance are choosing not to advance in any of those methods to try new things because they don't see any incentive to do so, people are sitting on mountains of GS-31, Monaveen, SS Rev research particles
And And the older faction credits people remembered when there were events to spend them, so they're hoarding those as well. If you want to incentivize your 30s, 40s and '50s to move up, many of them are just sitting there waiting for these events to come back so they feel justified and rewarded

When they finally get to the new content they have now been conditioned to think, well we won't get rewarded to do it now

[hushed rock]

The game treats players like money bags and rate us as third rated players. Bus my azz for 33th level. I am number one in my book but this game says that doesn’t matter to them.

[tired rapids]

Krazo,
I think that’s a good point, the Independent Archives gave a path to kind of retire older arch’s and content when you level past them. Maintaining those at lower levels and keeping events around them would reduce the need for constantly new content at lower levels and allow use of accumulated rewards. But instead it’s kinda being used to pseudo retire content they don’t want to balance anymore?
It wasn’t done perfectly either, people who maxed the Vidars are disencentivized to play some of the borg armada events with their alliance when they can’t use those resources.

[faint mulch]

Any chance we can edit this so its centrally alligned.

[oblique relic]

I never understood them suddenly closing off the Refinery options for what we still had in Inventory, just because we'd maxed out a particular ship. All it means if that we then have the choice, to occasionally do that loop ourselves, because we wanted a little more of that particular resource.

[lament juniper]

#⭐-official-announcements message

Look! More new hostiles! More grinding!

[hollow blaze]

Probably need months to jump that challenge

[quick gale]

Yep, they have listened to us… and done the opposite

[jade patio]

Now prototype tech…. OK I guess, but I hope the sourcing is not as convoluted as the other techs. You need 10 spreadsheets and an indian guide to figure out the sourcing on those.

[fluid surge]

Convoluted, only available to those who pay and a waste of time because by the time you get it it's obsolete. Standard scoplay

[opaque raft]

#⭐-official-announcements message

would be nice more quality would be announced in stead of more quantity

[vast nest]

Sorry that was last year's plan, this year is all in on quantity

[keen loom]

Here begins the next cash grab. Seriously. Figure out new concepts and make the game interesting.

[opaque raft]

Prob their plan will fail as miserably as more quality did

[restive geyser]

I'd like the version of the mining VT where I can use it three times. In case you haven't noticed, I have to collect three materials, including three of mine. The conversion won't work in the long run either, because the corresponding parts don't fall from the trees on their own.

[silent gorge]

This is probably all they could scramble together after Failpoint, but it comes off as another major cash grab when that has been a reoccurring point of frustration from the player base.

[keen loom]

Remember though per GM Connor “We’ve heard the player base” …. “Loud and clear” …. You may have heard us. You just chose to ignore us.

[spiral stump]

Scopely needs to drop the act about caring. We'd be listened to if they actually cared about the players. If you're going to lie to me at least make it sound convincing lol.

[hushed rock]

GM Connor “ fame and glory!” Video. We are just money bags and that is all they care for.

[past bear]

“That’s been good for progression, but has also raised the value of scrapping far beyond what was intended.” Alright, so in plain English, they haven’t released G5 ship scrapping because they can’t make money off of it since they introduced efficiency upgrades to build them. Hey Scopley, we either grinded our tails off and or purchased those efficiencies. Now you’re getting greedy and intentionally withholding resources and materials because you won’t make money off it. That’s fine, my money can be spent elsewhere. SMH btw, my local boat and tractor dealers thank you for sacrificing your income for theirs this year.

[honest flicker]

Did anybody else notice that in the apology video Connor accepted all the blame, but in the latest state of the game he has placed the blame on the players? He said that it's because they were trying to give us what we wanted that they ended up with bad content that was watered down. No, connor, it is because you took away meaningful events that G3 and G4 players participated in, and replaced them with relatively meaningless events on the weekly schedule. Stop blaming the players for you taking away meaningful player content and rushing half baked content to replace it with.

[drowsy bear]

When would it be possible to get a mass redeem/refine option for the faction store like we do with the refinery? Ive loved the mass refine option in the refinery and i think the qol of the game would be MASSIVELY improved if we could get the same thing with the faction store

[grim arch]

These new PTs/FTs will erase all previous PvP FTs. 40k Apex barrier at max vs Tantalus Field maxing at 7k (if we could max it) and even + The Soran Trilithium maxing at 6k so both together are 13k and these new ones max at 40k? Anything PvP basically just got thrown out the door in comparison.

[haughty sail]

That's the money making scheme, sell power creep and now times 3 because you need one for each ship type

[hoary saffron]

Big honzo cried in video saying they got it wrong and they will listen more to the players. What does he not understand about we do not want more ships and hostiles and grinding? Lied straight to our faces.

[hoary lynx]

So, this new update just completely makes PvP utterly pointless for everyone who doesn’t buy this. PvP has been bad for a long time and this just adds more fuel to the fire. This doesn’t do anything to improve the game

[uneven quarry]

Hammy had a constant surpised look throughout the video 🙂

[vivid nebula]

Probably forced at gunpoint to read the absolute garbage coming our way

[rose nacelle]

How many tens of thousands of your local currency is it going to cost to actually utilize these new prototype gadgets? Not this tickle of a glimpse of what it can do, but FOR REAL make a difference.

[dry lark]

You guys taking choice rewards from g3 is going to make players like me that are in g3 mad because it'll slow us from getting to g4. Great work Scopely. You guys are just like Creative Assembly stupidly blindly pushing and taking things even though your player and customers are screaming NO at you. Great way to wreck your company.

[lunar ocean]

Well, at least you called it "prototype" so it'll be easy to insult it when it's broken.

[toxic coyote]

Hated Forbidden Tech when it released. Chaos tech was infinitely better, easier to source and upgrade. Comparing the Prototype tech to FT fills me with dread

[kind star]

With this update, they're not only doing everything wrong again and the exact opposite of what CM Connor lied to us about. They're making the arena even worse than it already is. Even before the update is out, it's completely clear: it's going to be garbage! Just like everything else in recent months.

[hollow blaze]

Wait! You say arena still a thing? Haven't tried it since I got Vindicator. I thought it was deleted or something 😂

[old plover]

Its quite clear that the project management and management in general at scopley are incompetent, I mean let's look at their GM statement about G5scrapping then that fact they aren't going to meet their target. This is something that should have been looked at and put 8n the pipeline as soon as G6 was launched. But instead they just put it to one side to yey and milk the whales. They could easilly introduce G5 scrapping even if it meant tweaking it later on but what do I know about project/management... oh wait it am one 😅. Scopley are just trying to drive more people to pay to play with their focus on G3/G4. The majority of the older server are G5 players and thats the majority of the Free to play players too. Its quite obvious at this point that scopley are just further theying to get screw over their higher level players and milk them for money.

[fluid mist]

well if they want to make less money and have more players leave they're about to hit the jackpot. Seriously everything pvp that the whales and high/low spenders have bought and y'all just say ...... you here is the new meta and if you don't get it it will be like you're ops lv1 thanks for completely destroying any hope that this game will make it another year everyone ya might really wanna think about putting your cards away now

[carmine locust]

Stop adding stuff on top of stuff just to say "Hey look were doing something". I mean really Tech on top of Tech with another building. At some point more doesn't mean better.

[final python]

what focus on g3/g4? lol, all new content will be geared towards 45 temporarily, then 50+. the only mention of g3, g4 was to ruin the event rewards by removing choice tokens and forcing whatever resources they want and repackaging old content. edit: just focused on the top, g3, g4, g5 are just the minnows for the bigs to eat. the top doesnt seem happy either so not sure who they are targeting actually lol

[odd prawn]

right...

• So we have gotten to the point where you kidnapped Connor's family and made him do that video
• Released a blog post "by Connor" (this is not proof of life)

Yet someone thought Prototype tech that is going to break everything once again including PvP. Honestly how much have you guys entirely lost the plot to think this was a good idea before the VIP exodus happened.

Scopely you need to stop thinking of how much money you can make short term with all this plop because otherwise the game will be gone before you know it and you'll be sat there realising you should have been listening a long time ago.

#GamesAreMeantToBeFun

[tawdry flax]

I’m going to go against the majority here. The state of the game post was worse than saying nothing. The most important part for me was they were really specific about what they are taking away, and very vague about what they are replacing it with. Which smacks of “nothing” or “we don’t know”.

[muted shuttle]

Are you a Hamster

[cosmic knoll]

theres only 1 real issue i have with next arc (before it even launches)

conor explains most g3 and g4 players (thats ops 31-50 for clarity) play between arcs because the arcs themselves have nothing for them.

then you say that this coming arc starts at ops45, and only gets going at 51+ ... lets look at that. 45 ... thats 25% of the stated g3-g4 between arc players ...

so what you doing really is giving g3-g4 layers old hat remade events that offer no arc related content, no story participation, no alliance based inclusion events (im guessing)? basically alienating them even more from the current arc stuff.

nit pick all you want about my post, but heres the kicker:
these g3-g4 players, some of them are spenders ... if they arent getting current arc stuff, you think they going to spend?

well lets see how the dice roll shall we. but you been warned before about the flop, and this one looks like another belly first into the pool.

[keen loom]

Before we get another update from GM Connor - let’s be sure he addresses the elephant in the room. If you hear us Scopley - why does nothing change that matters to the players? You’ve no issue making changes efficiently when it benefits you, so help us understand how the latest “preview” supports YOU hearing the players.

[trail halo]

Hey Scopely team,

I’ve been a dedicated player for years and I’ve invested more time—and money—than I care to admit. When I saw your CEO’s announcement and apology about “making things better,” I was hopeful. Instead, it feels like you’re doubling down on new features and time gates rather than listening to the community’s core concerns.

Here’s where it’s falling short:

• You keep layering on fresh mechanics and events that demand huge daily commitments.
• Bugs and performance issues are multiplying instead of shrinking.
• Existing content feels sidelined instead of polished or repurposed.

I’m getting close to my breaking point. I want to keep enjoying this game, but the constant grind and the growing bug list are wearing me out. Please consider:

1. Prioritizing a stability pass—fixing high-impact bugs before launching new systems.
2. Reusing and remixing veteran content into new challenges instead of building from scratch.
3. Scaling back daily time-sinks so long-term players can breathe and newcomers aren’t overwhelmed.

You’ve got a passionate community here. We’re ready to help test, to give feedback, and to keep spending when the experience feels fair, polished, and rewarding. Right now it doesn’t. Please prove that the apology wasn’t just words.

Looking forward to seeing a real roadmap focused on fixes and balance over endless new features.

Thanks for listening,

[cosmic knoll]

i think it might be overly formatted or it doesnt like the shirt word. the auto moderation is tuned quite high here to reduce the work of the mods, because lets face it, it would be a non-stop torrent of litany

[leaden lintel]

I'm a newer ops 70 that is constantly being killed in pvp because I don't buy every new pvp meta. As soon as I start to close the gap a little they kick me down again. Also, why all the stuff that bypasses shields? Explorers have supior shields, but with everything bypassing them, it makes explorers shields useless. We need something to equalize pvp across the ships so we have variety. As it is now, all pvp is either cube or vengeance. Every arena match I'm in has at least 1 vengeance and they just kill everything. And even that is getting a boost because apparently they don't win enough? I've never seen one die.

[odd prawn]

hmm, I did go to put a word in bold maybe that was it 🤔

[granite grail]

Ok, so the new arc is literally a straight up cash grab for pay to win @ pvp!... thanks for listening to us, this is going soooo well 🙄

Also, in solid gold dumpster fire fashion; you're punishing and slowing the progress of G3/G4 by taking away choice rewards...

$cumley ignorance at it's finest!

[thin stump]

At this point, they need AI to help them come up with new ideas.

[silent gorge]

Since it doesn't feel like our feedback gets anywhere let's try this.

ChatGPT Prompt: What would you recommend for the next arc in Star Trek Fleet Command to better align with the player feedback?

Response:

[fluid remnant]

I vote we have ChatGPT take over as head of creative for the game!

[azure falcon]

Im sure that this has been shared by so many others but the lack of situational awareness from the STFC team is astounding. After reading the GM message and then not even a full day later release yet ANOTHER Grind loop a month after the last one. Its evident that the STFC Team is no longer listening to the player base and have decided to just drive this game into the ground all in an effort to extract whatever they can financially until there's literally no one left.

Bravo on introducing a new loop that includes the following:

• Another Hostile Grind loop that also introduces yet another "status" that we have to combat.
• New Building (so yet another thing to earn)
• New Tech (That uses an already existing currency that is a grind to obtain)
  - Thats what we need, more PvP Tech! As if PvP isn't already lopsided as heck and this just means Arenas are going to suck even more.
• New Researches!

The way you introduce content needs a MASSIVE overhaul, you provide this 10,000 foot view but 99% of your players exist at the 50 foot level because we're just trying to do our dailies and have enough to do our pulls due to poor scaling at higher levels. Provide insight to the new hostiles, research trees and what they do, how the new building will provide more fusion rods, etc. Sure a 2 min video is cool but you know whats cooler? A 5-10 min video with a better breakdown because that would help address so many questions and fears immediately and ensures engagement at the start not folks check and then a massive dropoff.

When you do introduce items to help address the grind like Freebooters, that's awesome but then you go and lock the ability to complete Fac mining dailies using Transogen by 1) Requiring a player to have the Serene Squall. 2) Complete several pre-requisite researches 3) Charge 9000 Black Market Schematics for EACH FACTION. Have fun earning that because its available in 1 place, the Strongbox that is based on off your Squall's tier. Sure its an event store item but that goes away.

In the last 6-9 months the sheer amount of grind and research content you have introduced while not addressing daily items has proven that your team is unwilling or incapable of effective listening and engagement of your players.

I am tired of spending easily 20-30 minutes in menu's just refining or redeeming items each day on top of the hostile, mining, BP, arc, event, daily grinds.

Just for even G5 and G6 players we have the following broken down for grinds (I know not everyone but since most players are still in G4/G5 this should matter.

Hostiles: Faction, Freebooters, Waves, Solo Waves, Aug, Hazard, Xindi, Dallas, Gorn, Silent, Mirror, Suliban, etc.

Mining: G4-G6 (Crystal, Ore, Gas), Transogen (Common, UC, Rare, Epic), Mirror(Trell-A, Trell-D) Isogen (1-3*)

Armadas: Faction, Solo Faction, Dominion, Dominion Solo, Xindi, Krenim (both), Borg (all of em), Formation, etc.

The overall understanding of this game has been lost all because you have leaned into the P2W model and its true, time is money but at this point, spending money to even be current is no longer going to be a constant especially with the state of the economy in the US.

I hope that the STFC team really does make some sorely needed changes in the next few months or this game will die when G7 is introduced.

[odd prawn]

Well I got muted for a bit.

Too much truth so they picked on the name I've had for the last 6 months and muted me for that and reset my name.

Amusing.

We need an actual roadmap and actual time frame on some of the really messed up stuff that still exists in this game

This like the game still not being able to correctly plot the location of Borg cubes half the time even Unity 6 hasn't fixed that.

Squall randomly hopping off or hopping to different nodes

And more... (To quote a certain MIA Scopely person)

Then there is just the stuff you are doing plain wrong.

The community has been screaming at you throughout 2025 and even before then about the amount of screen time, the complexity of the arcs and bugs never getting fixed.

Seems like nothing has or is going to be changing any time soon and that means you'll probably continue to lose players at an alarming rate.

The new arc hasn't been announced but what we already know is there's another new copy and paste hostile, more tech just with different names that are going to break everything again making PvP or competing in certain SLBs not even worth bothering with.

You need to be thinking of ways to fix what is essentially a toxic relationship between Scopely and the payers. I mean players and start doing things differently otherwise you're going to have no one left playing.

I'm an ops 70 player with one foot out of the door. Seems your solution to make things better for high ops players like myself is to just release G7.

That's not the solution. Fundamental changes are needed before you even think about G7

To be fair making g5 scrapping good isn't that hard, they are scared to do it right cause if they make g5 scrapping useful in the slightest that cuts into their profits, but they dont realize its not gonna matter 🤣

[teal harness]

Is anyone running a pool for how many weeks this game has left?

[idle sphinx]

Gonna focus my feedback on two items: G5 Scrapping and Choice Rewards. G5 Scrapping has to feel rewarding. Too much investment in preparation for G5 Scrapping, disappointment here will drive folks away. The times need to be reasonable, the conversion of rss to sigma needs to be solid, and the ship parts should equal near a ful level of components. As for Choice Rewards, don't go backwards and take away one of the best new additions to the game. More than anything, your players want (nay NEED) to see that you’re listening. It would be awesome if your player base felt that Scopley was desigining content and events “in league” with players rather than against them.

[meager stag]

6 months tops. I can see them pulling the plug at the end of this year. Honestly I’d be somewhat surprised if there is even a G7. I will be flat out shocked if there is a G8. I don’t think I’m gonna last that long anyway, especially after the G5 scrapping issue. It’s too bad really what has happened with this game especially for those of us who love Star Trek.

*Just to add on the G5, I agree with the view to a degree that says they’re halting it to get people to buy more packs, but I think that’s just to milk the player base as much as possible before ending the game. If they really felt the game had a long term future, why kill the G5 scrapping? Yeah people use it to progress, but what’s the big deal if the game’s gonna be around for a long time still? Just my two cents.

[oak hawk]

Where is the fun?

Really - is anyone at Scopley bringing this up?

I have been sitting at 50 for a while ... Think I can go to 56 in one run, but is that fun?

The recent "letter" from the captive GM has been on my mind a lot.

Unsure if this game is for me ... If I want to spend the same amount of time I can make a list of games that are more fun.

The real issue is Scopley thinks Scopley is incharge... The players are.

End of the day, no players = no game.

Where is the Fun?

[untold frost]

Are you kidding me with that video? Your GM was basically crying on camera, and now OH has joined the "gun to the head," hostage club. Nobody wants or needs a new PvP FT. As far as I can tell, this is the final middle finger, hope we can make some money, ploy by Scopely before you put the game into Rev's "maintenance mode." Remember when your GM was begging us to hang in there while you improved the experience? Well, you're pooping on the pillow.

[hollow blaze]

The crying:

[teal harness]

The thing is this game strayed sooo sooo far away from the ideals of trek just to make money from the pew pew whales that it lost all the charm of trek. Where is the adventure. The discovery. And even the ‘discovery’ is non
creative repetition

[neon atlas]

This game probably won't see 2026

[sleek ibex]

Just adding my agreement that the g5 scrapping issue is extremely problematic. Ops 67, can’t imagine how badly the ships must be piling up for long time ops 70s, it’s bad enough for me. And the idea of just making them scrappable with no rewards? Wow, what a slap in the face to your player base.

[acoustic geyser]

They should have probably left the part out about the no rewards but it feels more and more common for corps to just be saying the quiet parts out loud these days I was not surprised when I read it

<@&509690795536941056> My feedback about Prototype Tech: https://tenor.com/view/nft-cash-grab-nft-cash-grab-buzz-cash-grab-gif-24918522

[hushed rock]

“Space the final frontier!” Looks like Scopely is ripping players off.

[rapid shore]

Its sad
I spent my 5 minutes for a 2 letter statement why is slow mode on
can someone link the Gm message?

[hoary gate]

Proof the GM message was worthless. the Conner Video. They also turned on slow mode to stop people from talking. Their attempt at censorship. Because IDIC means nothing to them

[nova sierra]

Ban the third party stuff that makes mil second demands.

Don't know why DJ is a golden boy, he promoted lots of third party problems.

[odd prawn]

<@&509691205798592532> why is slow mode on? People need to vent and discuss and this seems like a deliberate effort to stop this happening.

If Scopely are really listening (lol) then surely we should be heard and slow mode should not be active?

Or is the a prime slow mode avoidance something we have not yet been made aware of?

That's one of the future improvements isn't it

[finite mural]

Slow mode as always been on for the feedback channels, because they're not meant for discussions.

[odd prawn]

Then I think it's time we had a discussion channel or a hybrid of a discussion and feedback channel because the overlords need to see how badly they're getting things wrong and I don't think they're realising it.

As always, not a dig at you guys

[vale wasp]

All of the channels in Community Chat are available for players to use for discussion.

[eager tundra]

heres an idea: stop playing....

you must be a farmer if you arent having any fun at ops50

[jolly geyser]

Personally I wonder if they even have the guts to address the loss of top flight players, who propped up their income streams. Burning people for tens of thousands of dollars is sure fire way to send your business to the wall. At the end of it $$$$ is all scopely wants. Now that that is drying up quick. Game will be done by Christmas, hope the GM enjoys his severance pay when the company winds up

[humble hornet]

Thanks for pushing out yet more PvP tech in a game where the majority are not interested in PvP, not least because it's utterly broken and unbalanced, but also not in the spirit of Star Trek. You're still not listening. At least I know not to bother with this arc & can keep coasting along toward 70, at which point I think I'm likely to quit. I have no confidence the game will improve by then.

[gentle shale]

a modest suggestion

• It is apparent that the STFC team is interested in generating new content, including new loops to be completed, to drive engagement
• It is not apparent how many members of the STFC team are actively, defined as daily, players of STFC - the product they deliver
• A modest suggestion therefore is that at minimum 75%, ideally 100%, of those at all levels of the creation, execution, support, and on-going development of the game actively play the game
  • Employees/contractors would be spread across all servers and members of varying alliances (eg, no alliance strictly created for STFC employees/contractors)
  • Hourly employees/contractors would be given at least 1h/day to play the game, completing dailies & events; salaried employees would be expected to completed dailies & events daily either at work or own time
    • The purpose is to develop an understanding of time commitment/constraints
  • Only free codes/progression elements provided to general player base are available; if someone wants a new ship or a pack they will need to pay the same price as general public
  • Funds spent by STFC employees are not eligible for reimbursement by the company

The purpose of the suggestion is to:

• drive greater awareness of challenges faced by players not simply by metrics but first hand experience
• instill empathy with regard to time commitment created by events, loops, costs faced by players
• guide decisions in how to create compelling content that is both financially successful for the company & engaging for players

[toxic coyote]

Narrow PvP bands. Currently L70 players can hit down to L43, there is no need for them to hit anything below a 60. All that happens are a few pay to bully players push out your newer players because it's not worth spending the $10,000s to bridge that gap.

[cyan isle]

Dear Star Trek Fleet Command Team,
I’ve poured my heart into this game, loyally purchasing the battle pass time and again, all for the extra choice tokens that have become the heartbeat of my strategy during Alliance Tournaments. These tokens let me fine-tune my fleet, rally with my alliance, and chase those hard-fought victories—moments that fill me with pride and connection to this incredible community. The recent extension of the Choice Reward store during these events is a glimmer of hope, showing you understand how vital this overlap is to players like me who live for the tournament meta. But if you stop aligning them, it would break my spirit and my wallet—I simply won’t be able to justify buying the battle pass anymore. I know I’m not alone; many of us have built our gaming dreams around this synergy, and losing it would feel like losing a piece of what makes STFC special. Please, keep this lifeline intact so I can continue to support the game I love with all my heart.
Respectfully,
[A Devoted Commander]

[haughty sail]

Game stability in the EU has been dreadful this morning, rebooted probably 10 times, get booted half the time or stuck on any random percentage while starting up.

[slender monolith]

There’s no reason for a 70 to hit below 70 😛

[haughty sail]

might be an android specific issue as it was equally bad on tablet, phone and on both wifi and 5g. swapped to an ipad and the game runs decent again and alliance mates on PC no issues.

[odd prawn]

You think the 70s will stick around when they only have a small group to shoot at?

That's just going to push more out of the game and the game dies even sooner. Might not make it to October 😂

[slender monolith]

I know, it’s largely the same across all ship grade points though. 70 down to 60 is just as pointless as 43, unless you’re a really really bad Ops 70…

[odd prawn]

Oh I agree the ranges are too big. I myself am an ops 70... But a nice one. It is super annoying though when you can't stop a base raid in incursions because you can't shoot the raider.

PvP is entirely lopsided and broken on this game anyways and seems that prototype tech will only make that much much worse

[tiny axle]

Cue Conor’s video “we’ve also neglected a large portion of our community – G3 to G4 players especially – by continuing to serve content that isn’t built for your level, yet still asking you to participate. That’s not fair. On top of that, we’ve undermined the value of progression by failing to properly reward long-term success in the game…we see that. We hear you. And we agree, it must change”. Removing choice rewards from the G3 battle pass, introducing new PvP tech, a new building, new hostile…Scopely is truly making an effort to change...for the worse. Before the higher Ops players attack me for not mentioning G5 and G6, I know you folks are also very angry and despondent. The "We hear you" comment is very questionable when Scopely are clearly tone deaf to player feedback.

[clear rose]

In my local area we have various "honesty" stalls for bread, cakes, veg, jam etc where people pay either what they think or are trusted to pay what is asked, no humans or machines. I know two people who run them and yes you get thieves but they make more money than if they sold it as stated price because people are more generous when they are not getting their arm bent backwards to pay money. G5 scrapping will make people more keen to spend, it creates a positive environment, people who want to help the game will dig into pockets, removing it makes them see you as tight fisted

[muted shuttle]

Game went down hill when they started charging for a currency to change a product you had bought/earned. At least we are getting close to the end now.

[odd prawn]

Yeah game won't last long at this rate. I really hope they keep the discord open for a few days after the game folds so we can roast the hell out of them for killing the game off and ignoring everyone telling them what was happening

[haughty sail]

im sure this will stay live forever as nobody from scopely is every here anyway so nobody to close the door when they shut down the game

[slender monolith]

Pretty sure this would close right before they announced the game was closing, if they didn't just turn the game off with no warning.

[carmine yew]

😂 Good one!
Wait...
Scopley's serious 😕

[grave hawk]

That's not true

[tough cypress]

Funny, we're discussing things anyway.

So, after reading the overlong update, i've come to the conclusion that those of us that like to play alone for the most part, with an occasional armada run, at 51+, are going to absolutely hate the planned changes. Oh well. You can't please everyone, obviously. The question is, can you please ANYONE? Because so far, yikes.

[boreal island]

The new owners of scopely are losing money after there purchase this year after they had record sales last year now there sales are way down from last year and they think if they add more you will spend more

[neon atlas]

ChatGPT thinks this thread is full of cautious optimism. Thats not going to move the needle

[halcyon pawn]

Some one help me out here has the sigma 15 hour speed ups in mirror, drop rate been changed, 1 15 hour speed up killing over 200 ships in 30 mins is not nice

[halcyon pawn]

You used AI your a hero 🤣🤣 what does that even mean

[vocal plover]

#VIPSUX

[abstract zealot]

are they losing money? for a 4.9 bil scopley purchase i think they are doing ok. monoply go revenue has surpassed 5 bil alone. thats not all profit but you dont make your money back on an acquisition in the first years. at this point stfc just isnt a big deal to them anymore

[worn vault]

I’m of the opinion that, following the Skydance/Paramount merger, Scopely is likely to lose its license for STFC. Their recent communications have been vague in addressing player complaints, and the “solutions” they’ve offered seem deliberately geared toward increasing spending or removing non-spending options. To me, that strongly suggests the game is entering its end-of-service stage. If they were really in it for the long term we would’ve got a roadmap, and a lot more compensation to remedy the recent bugs.

[odd prawn]

Ok... So this upcoming arc is a total joke.

[fluid mist]

That's a great suggestion but they'll never do it heck even in their video's on new hostiles they use a spoofed up max fts and officer and powered ships to demonstrate the hostiles not an average players power with average research and average officers and average fts. Get the point they cant even be on the same level to convince us about difficulty of new hostiles lol they'll never play the game they destroyed well and admit that they do. not that I'm attacking your statement just making a valid point.

[odd prawn]

You know the aim of the game should be how do we get people to engage in and enjoy the content

Not how far can we push people so they feel like they have to spend to simply keep up.

The new arc that's coming is most definitely the latter and as much as Connor and his hostage video made promises that things will change we all know they never will.

The money grabbing has gotten progressively worse especially during 2025 like you are preparing to switch the servers off with zero notice in the near future.

Instead of doing that... Listen to players and actually go for something to make the game enjoyable again.

The Connor blog was vague and noncommittal but said enough to basically confirm that the hostage video was just the same old lie as "we will be focussing on quality and not quantity" and there is not one player that can't tell you exactly how that worked out.

<@&509690795536941056>

[slim niche]

I definitely would like to have an awesome package where we can pick and choose things we need

[gaunt moon]

4 points???? NOT spending any $ on this game anymore.

[neon hatch]

It was a 13 day event and you only needed 12.

[honest flicker]

I've been thinking a lot about how things got so bad in the last two arc attempts, especially. In WOK and Flashpoint we experienced hostiles that were way overpowering for typical players to hit on level. I've come to the conclusion that this is because of constantly adding more sources of power creep over time, spread down too many levels. On my server alone the ops 42 power range runs from 22M to over 88M. I'm certain that when g4 first rolled out the devs didn't expect this power range to be what it is today. The result is that they have attempted to keep the game challenging for the overpowered top tier of players for each ops level, at the cost of the majority of players. In typical games, expansions mostly add content at "end game." They don't give the new, powerful items to the lower level players, or they include scaled down versions. However, STFC has regularly made the new power-creep research, officers, buildings, FCs, etc. available to lower grade players. Why? More sales, of course. So now we have level campers (like me) staying put so we can win all the new stuff via SLB, hostiles that are tuned too powerful for most players, and a game that feels unimaginative. Unfortunately, any solution will be painful for us, as they really need to stop giving us more "power" stuff, reserving those for more "end game" G-X. Compensation for this should include frequent free claim speedups to help us get caught up with the current power creep for our current levels. Emphasize evening out and stabilizing power ranges for ops levels. And above all, COMMUNICATE with the players about this, so we understand what and why things are being done, with the objectives clearly spelled out. Perhaps, then, this game will be great again.

[quaint haven]

I love how the game becomes unusuable trash for several minutes at 11 AM and PM every single day.

[worn vault]

Honestly one of the key underlying problems right now. They kinda used to bridge this gap with providing full unlocks in the battlepass but they’ve stopped that now, and moved to slbs for sourcing. As you’ve said it’s one of the causes that leads to players hoarding.

Scopley wants g3-g4 players to progress quickly, but how they gone about it is just contradictory. For example, locking efficiency upgrades for speeding up loops and grinds behind 100-200 day ship refinery/faction store pulls; shelving events such as the syndicate, faction rep, and away team store for heroic events with ridiculous milestones or spending requirements. Even if, you do spend to speed things up, for example, buying a ship, you hit another wall of being starved for parts to even realise the purpose of that purchase.

It really just feels like scopley punishes you for wanting to enjoy the game. I’m not against spending, I’ve spent quite a bit myself. My problem here is that the ‘reward’ aspect has been eroded away.

[honest flicker]

You touched on another of my observations, which is being starved for parts for specialty ships (as well as the usual standard parts). We end up having to wait around for cooldowns on chest pulls, even if we otherwise have the materials. This is another bottleneck in progression for G3 and G4 that should be loosened.

I also recognize that many players will spend speedups to ops up before they have the research to support ops ups. To help with this, perhaps introduce a research specific speedup token useable on specific research bands. Hoarding these tokens would be discouraged by having the G range limits in place. Scopely could provide a daily claim for these, with options to purchase more in the store.

[icy hatch]

I have members that can't get the code startrekday to work. They tried capitalizing each word in it, all caps, and all lowercase. It says they aren't eligible.

[late condor]

Scopely, you do anything to mess up scrapping and that will be the last thing you do before I leave the game.

[robust tartan]

After trying out a few other random mobile games for science, it made me realise how much trouble this game is in.

I'm on here because I can't even do my dailies because the lag is so bad. Not having a laggy game seems to be a basic requirement, and Scopely can't even do that. What a joke.

Also, we should all take to writing Paramount for placing their name on such a 💩 product. Scopely is ruining a decades old franchise.

This game is in serious trouble, and we just don't see it.

If many of us can't login for 2 minutes without serious lag, then it's time to either hire new coders or close the game down. It's not fair to those of us who've invested time and/money to have such a terrible product.

[kind star]

We should vote with our credit cards above all else. Fair and honest! That would be enough to get the entire management team at Scoeply fired.

[robust tartan]

Exactly. I mean, how bad of a coding job do you have to do in order to not even have a smooth running game? There's even lag in customer support now. It just completely stalled on me and kicked me out of the game. Doing my dailies has been next to impossible today, even after reinstalling the game. Nothing helps to get rid of the lag. And they expect us to be happy with their updates? Ugh.

[vivid nebula]

It’s been disabled, turned out it was leaked early so shouldn’t have been active, it’ll return tomorrow after event refresh

[wise quest]

I really hope that Scopley have managed to prioritise adding a new ship to the IA with the introduction of a new loop this month. I feel like attention to that system has dropped off in favour of development that can gain Scopley extra money.

[somber orchid]

Doubt it will be one of the newer ships as still a few older ones to be added

[odd prawn]

I don't think you have to worry about it, I am pretty sure G5 scrapping will never happen as it will cause the odd person here and there not to buy packs.

What they don't realise it further hurts FTP not spenders.

This and another very spend heavy arc coming tomorrow, they're literally grabbing every last bit of money before switching the game off at some point in the near future

[odd prawn]

<@&509690795536941056>

Can we have a Q&A with Conor please?

• We need some proper answers to what is happening, proper time frames not a vague blog post with his name mentioned
• We need proof of life for Conor and his family
• We need him to see first hand how the players are actually feeling

What we don't need is a Q&A from the arc runner to basically insult us again by telling us the game is hard if you don't buy all the packs we put out like happened last time.

If anyone actually reads the feedback channels on discord it's super clear that players are not happy, we don't believe any of the apologies made on the hostage video and we do know that vague blog post was more a plan on how you were going to make more money.

"The Battle Pass for G3 is shifting away from Choice Rewards." = G3 aren't buying enough packs
"Between September and October, we will have a special event series asking players to engage with grade relevant ships. These events will reward those with prior progress, but opening new opportunities for those that haven’t" - Heroics and SLB/ RSB

This...

• A more focused daily and weekly rhythm with a clear, challenging direction
• Optional deeper engagement through Heroics and Ticketed Events

is just plain tone deaf...do you really think the player base wants more Heroic events???

G5 Scrapping not happening - Scopely scared they might sell less packs!...this only hurst FTP and low to medium spenders, big spenders will not care realistically.

Ops 51+: We’re targeting November to begin focusing our updates on these higher Ops - Basically G7 is coming

Then this new arc is yet another money grab.

Scopely need to see that they're driving people away and making the Scopely & Player relationship more toxic. This is why we need the Q&A with Conor

[keen loom]

The fact is: Scopley is a for profit company. I can’t fault them for that.

What they are at fault for:

-failure to implement player feedback in a consistent and meaningful manner
-failure to communicate
-hot swap of scape goats from arc runner to GM, to Bek with no accountability
-empty promises
-false timelines
-meaningless content grinds

Enough with the PR videos that only serve to make a further mockery of the company already being chastised on every social media platform for the same reasons.

Less talk - more fixing.

Shocking - data pulled from app reviews across app stores supports that summary.
