awesome - warships autocalled home after killing 1st hostile in wave.

[wooden spire]

Need improved sourcing for command badges. Have too many officers I cannot upgrade.

[chrome vortex]

<@&509690795536941056> okay so where is the pack? You created a problem. There are not enough nodes so I'm sure there's a pack that will create more nodes for some people so that they can do the Outpost. So where is the pack?

[slender monolith]

Next month, obviously

[nova sierra]

<@&509690795536941056> So if you have resources raided leader board but can’t raid. Isn’t that technically false advertising ?

[humble furnace]

No, as all the months events are not random each day their planned ahead of time at the beginning of month. They just never bothered to cancel the raiding event

[outer ice]

<@&509690795536941056> There isn't any SMS planned for this week in the calendar, is anything coming? Otherwise it'll be a very boring week, also for you, no events = no fires to placate 😄

[odd prawn]

Less complaints if no one is online trying and failing to do events due to bugs 😄

[nova sierra]

[humble furnace]

These 4 + TC + Main, is just overkill (the first 3 are just useless and could have been added as part of the main battlepass

[queen valve]

You mean why do you make so many to charge people for? Greed. Why fix a product that is losing money when you can just add more pay to play pkgs full of things you might convince yourself you need? “ A fool and his money are soon parted “ is the whole new content plan at this point.

[full sail]

Anyone else think this ops split for player events is crazy my alliance has a mix of ops levels I’m ops 54 we love to include all ops for alliance events now, anyone above ops 51 can’t see what events are running for lower ops or below our alliance came 1st in a alliance event for below 51 event and my admiral couldn’t even see the success 🤦how can people keep alliances going if they can’t even see the events the team win in, come on scopely

[rich elm]

Let's do a forced PvP event, but lets put it in a systems with warp range 500+ ... yeah... no

[jovial edge]

<@&509690795536941056> please add a way to complete these PvP events without forcing attacks. Long shields are valuable.

[tacit wind]

players with 300B+ power Vengeances ready to pick off anyone that enters the system. What a stupid pvp event.

[jovial edge]

I’ll send cheap ships as canon fodder but I’m not going to cancel the 2 week shield I just started and I’m certainly not going to waste thousands of dollars to chase the ever changing PvP meta.

[wind prism]

Can we have a battle pass for system crashes. That would be great get points for every crash.

[flint elm]

No they need to stop seriously upsetting players which causes complaints…

[unreal jolt]

Everyone is forgetting that we are in the Year of Hell... We still have over a month of trash to be prepared for Scopely to dump on us...

[flint elm]

You bother doing them? I’ve clicked the delete account button three times this arc, but I’ve also hit cancel because it seems a waste. Maybe I’ll get a bit tipsy next weekend and finish the job!

[humble furnace]

Well majority of them I do by just doing my dailies 🤣 that’s how entertaining they are

[flint elm]

That was my key complaint. This is a job not a game. My alliance was caught up in the wrongful AT relegation last month. No one in customer support seems to care despite the tickets sent in. If that’s how they feel about our alliance then they shouldn’t be surprised when we all leave. Feels like they are just trying to squeeze the last few $$$ out before shutting the game down.

[feral jewel]

Agreed

[keen loom]

Wonder if that Conor guy quit. We were supposed to have an update from him long ago on the “promises he’s delivered on.” This is yet another example of the outstanding community engagement provided by Scopley.

[cyan isle]

Scopley is likely melting down in the background. They lost 40,00 players this year. There won’t be a game much longer the direction they’re headed.

[rare vale]

PvP in this game is stupid as a whole. There's nothing resembling fairness, balance, or strategy unless you have two players of identical ops levels with comparatively strong ships and crews. I keep saying, PvP in this game is built upon big fish eats small fish, so that small fish spends more money to compete with big fish, then big fish's pride gets hurt and they open their wallet to get even bigger.

In addition, this game's PvP balance was almost nonexistent when Ops 40 was the max level, and now it's completely blown out the window. Even an Ops 69 has zero chance against an ops 70 who has a well tiered G6 epic or a Vengeance, so what chance does a 60 or lower have against a 70? That's how PvP is built in this game. PvP is just a tool to them to make players do their dirty work and hopefully force spending.

[maiden steeple]

<@&509690795536941056> so since all these events are for ops 51+ does that mean Scopley no longer wants my money should i just go find another game to play sure sounds like it to me since i no longer matter to the dev team

[feral jewel]

Just be careful to read who the developers are. You may end up in another scopely/Digit game lol

[keen harbor]

The bloating of the game runs it all. special this special that grind grind grind how many currencies now ugg

[queen ibex]

This battlepass has been the worse. In every other battlepass I’ve been able to complete the events but in this one it’s literally impossible to complete several of the events unless I want to drop a few 100$ to do so.

[snow edge]

Please flag chapel for loot rewards

[urban verge]

Having 6 battle pass's at once is absolutely insane greed.
~ Outpost pass
~ Ferengi Exchange pass
~ Syndicate pass
~ Wave defense Pass
~ Terriotry Capture Pass
~ Retribution pt1 pass

This is wild having 6 battle pass's all at once.

[quiet peak]

Does dauntless seek and destroy ability work in surges?

[torn basin]

Only if it’s the only ships there

[mellow loom]

Only if you're over ops51. If you're below that then you're a degenerate and don't get the syndicate or outpost pass. Even if you get the syndicate pass events.

[elder hornet]

So another useless battle pass event, fighting augmented. It’s a joke

[hollow blaze]

<@&509690795536941056> Will there be Mak'ala's Crucible event this month?

[storm oracle]

We getting Improvements!!!! All expecting things getting in the Archive, we will get the Raid Bug fixed perhaps 😄

[tawny pawn]

Territory is a season pass not a battle pass....
You don't have to buy them all - you still get the free track on them

[limpid charm]

I’ve got some feedback, how about we rename the game to star-trek fleet maintenance ?. After all it’s under maintenance more often than not.

[serene pine]

You realise that that means 6 free tracks of rewards right? Would you rather it be 6 event store buckets locked behind a pay only currency instead? Take the free rewards and ignore the rest if you don't want them 🤦😮‍💨

[humble furnace]

4 of these battlepasses can be combined as 1, more is not better

[serene pine]

You're missing the point. It doesn't matter if they're "good", that's subjective. It matters that there is a free track that you can get rewards from

[humble furnace]

No it honestly doesn’t, they all should be on 1 battlepass.

[thorny wing]

We were hoping for many new 51/53 outposts ..silly us

[serene pine]

I personally loathe the new Ferengi Event store style and wish to god that they'd go back to the end of arc big event stores like they used to have because what we get now is a fraction of what we used to, but am I going to complain about the pass? No I just refuse to buy it, claim the free track and get what I can.
And how on earth would all passes being one work? For starters the tt pass lasts for 3 months unlike the rest being a week or two

[humble furnace]

TC and Wave would be separate obviously they don’t count the other 4 should be 1.

Doesn’t matter how much free stuff you get

The ferengi and main one use same event to get points so makes no sense having them separate, it just causes players to have to open 2 separate things to get rewards. Your Not getting extra free stuff with an extra battlepass, scopely simply justifying the need to charge you extra if you want paid pass without actually doubling the cost

[serene pine]

Which again, noone is forcing you to buy 🤦

[humble furnace]

I am not going to buy? You’re missing the whole point.

Why would you think I was going to buy 🤣 I’d rather pay for Solitare skins

[serene pine]

Because you're the one mentioning scopely charging money for said passes? 😵‍💫🤦
And my original point that you're missing is, the more passes with free tracks we get, the more free stuff we get. Lowering the amount of passes would just lower what we get overall. Period. But continue to rage if you want, I'm not spending any more time on it. 🤷🖖

[humble furnace]

My point was 6 passes is excessive you brought up paying and free paths 🤣

[humble furnace]

Rage? Who’s raging 👀, if you noticed an old pass had 100% rewards. Scopely wanting more business cut the original pass in half and created more passes each pass has 50% of these original rewards. Then created more passess splitting up the rewards even further. Your not getting more free stuff 🤣

quantity is not better then quality

[hollow blaze]

I hope this month they will reach 10 passes. Last month almost made it.

[torpid kelp]

Alright folks. New round in our quiz: how do we squeeze money out of people? Any suggestions? We're introducing artifacts that no longer apply to everything, but only to each unusual material individually, and yes, ladies and gentlemen, you read that right: only for unusual materials. I'll say it again, not another cent from me.

[kind rampart]

<@&509690795536941056> This is a good thing. Thanks. Having it split by Material and only work on Uncommon is not perfect but it looks really decent so far

[fluid mist]

Watch it be 200 or more shards and it has a 22hr or a once a week pull rate so it will take x time to get the "useful" 1 type of material artifact but hey great job scopley for narrowing the help that artifacts do right..... lol

[kind rampart]

4 Shards per pull. with Efficiency 55 to unlock and 22h cooldown. Not much to complain in my opinion

[torpid kelp]

You little rat, you don't need to suck up to me like that. Be glad we're in the same clan and I can't shoot you.😂 And now something on my own behalf: If I make a mistake, I have the decency to admit it. It looks like you can get the stuff for free. I'm genuinely surprised by that; my surprise stems from what you did with the Vengeance points.

[fluid mist]

ya I'm not logged in yet but what i said still wouldn't have been out of the norm for how scopley does things in past

[kind rampart]

You can leave and try to shoot me😂

[urban verge]

Yea my bad for wanting actual good content and for the many game bugs to be fixed. Or any of the many previous promises they made to be kept. It's all good we get free stuff from lots of battle passes that solves it all. I'll go back to bootlicking for scopely. Forgot this wasn't a feedback channel oh wait.

[serene pine]

You realise that those issues (which I agree with) have nothing whatsoever with the ability to get free stuff from a battle pass....right?.......right? But thanks for the sarcastic response, made me laugh 🤣

[keen loom]

Good content? From Scopley? LOL. If it doesn’t break working features, cause massive amounts of negative press, while adding packs to purchase - Scopley won’t do it. So you’ll have to dumb down your definition of good for anything that’s released to qualify.

[urban verge]

That's sadly true lol

[nova sierra]

The only game where the game maintenance makes the game worse

[proven ore]

This game has became a joke

Now they say if you are mining and let's say your protected cargo is 3.5 million and you have 40 million in your cargo hold and a player destroys you that only get to keep your protected cargo and they keep what their cargo can hold tge rest is loss

[uncut scaffold]

That has always been the case... Except for station combat for some weird reason.

[proven ore]

They wonder why I quit spending money

[tropic crown]

Did they break the game?

[alpine hull]

Hmm it's been more than 2 hours. Wonder what the hold up is?

Question when do you get to pick a side or do you always stay independent?

[keen loom]

Someone suggested a battlepass for game issues. Bet that’s being implemented.

[keen loom]

That’s not new. Protected cargo is all you’ve ever been guaranteed. OPC is OPC and always fair game.

[fresh condor]

When are you going to address the Intel core 3 issues, where multiple players can not chat in game. It's been 3 months

[errant brook]

Want to get people angry? Let them play active in surges. I hate it so much

[hollow plover]

if an issue is older than 2 weeks do not expect it to be resolved at all. there are years old buggy stuff like voyager mines still not working properly

[karmic meadow]

Would really love a pin system where you can pin a ship or 2 to the front of the list so they always show up at beginning. Im getting tired of having to scroll threw a couple dozen ships to find the disco...

[stuck swift]

Well, Alliance help issue is still not fixed, And now the system isn't giving me updates as I kill hostiles up at the top of the screen like it used to..... What else did they break? Did outposts get fixed or base raiding?

[oak coral]

On the mission and event screens you have started using light blue text to highlight systems and other key facts. This blue text on the grey background is impossible to read on an iPhone. You should use a dev tool like JAWS which helps identify usability issues such as text contrast.

[stuck swift]

And for the sake of all things holy please change the background color on systems that are bright icy blue! Those are really really hard on the eyes..

[zealous crater]

Is the game maintenance done for today? Haven't been able to log in all morning.

[merry comet]

I'm not sure if STFC uses Cloudflare or not, but the latter has had a bunch of outages this morning

[stuck swift]

@raw fiber really? I'm not sure what bugs you fixed, but I know what you didn't fix and what you currently broke with this update. Oh but it's okay because we introduced new things! Yeah right. You guys just don't get it do you fix what is already broke before bringing on new things that subject us to more things breaking. You really don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out. 🙄🤦‍♀️

[hexed mesa]

I haven't been able to log in all morning

[civic quest]

[sarcastically] Be careful because apparently you cant @ CMs directly because it’s considered “naming and shaming” to call out their inaction.

I posted a bug a few days ago, CM pinged me in public for player ID, I DM’ed it to them, nothing was done or replied, ticket I filed was closed, and never got any resolution, compensation for lost directives/time, or any reply. I pinged CM back, only to be deleted by a Mod. 😡

[barren umbra]

evry thing is broken 7 restarts since event refresh cant do any thing even switching mining node require game restart

[humble furnace]

why have this popup when it does not work

[lusty rock]

Will you please fix server 16!outpost nodes all day zero resources!!

[dense prawn]

What a great update. 160mb of bloat downloaded and then a permanent adjusting load screen... awesome job scopley.

[rare light]

Is A Cold Directive not running today? It's Tuesday.

[queen valve]

When is 76 getting a merger? We need new players there because people are leaving the game over all the issues and the “biggest” alliance is trying to force people to quit because they can’t control other alliances except by threats.

[rare vale]

Every player on your server will probably have to pay $100 for a prime server merge pack 🤣

[red kraken]

Howdy

[queen valve]

Wow instantly blocked my reply to Frenzy

Scopely tyrants strike again

Scopely only cares about spenders, no one else matters.

[crisp tusk]

I asked the same question

[lethal warren]

Could Scopely finally fix this lagging problem, and all other unstable functions. For example, front end is too needful of network bandwith and backend do not provide because of faulty code and lack of resources. Gameplay experience is very awful.
And these problems has to be known a couple of years now, so why those hasn't got fixed????

[tidal notch]

A Cold Directive should be available now. Should be running at normal reset time going forward.

[crisp tusk]

Thanks ham

[delicate terrace]

Clean up the new Augment Space on 56. Some spots you can't spawn any regular hostiles because there are too many sleeping ones sitting outside the zone map.

[lament gazelle]

@tidal notch which is the latest mission for the arc please?

[tidal notch]

Looking into this. Will add to known issues until I get an update.

[lament gazelle]

Thanks

[weak flare]

Fine work, $copely.

[queen valve]

They don’t care about you, only your wallet.

[lament gazelle]

Mission has just reappeared in the holodeck for me

[old seal]

Why in three systems....have it everywhere?????

[final plinth]

<@&509690795536941056> this needs immediate clarification: will g6 material tasks still be available for g7 players? If you take this away you learned nothing in the last 3 weeks

[tidal notch]

Will check. But I think so.

[errant brook]

Everytime I saw Scopely writing about rebalancing and better experience it ended in massive disappointment.
I bet everything will get more 'heroic'.

[rare vale]

I disagree.. It's so much easier to find opponents when systems are limited. The PvP events of old being everywhere took way too much time and effort to complete. Many servers communicated agreed upon systems for battlegrounds for this exact reason... That being said, why they chose such high warp range systems is beyond me.

[tidal notch]

For spend tasks its all grades of mats but for acquire tasks its for your own grade/ops level.

[rare vale]

Three additional questions:

1. Will all G6 players will need to acquire the same amount of mats or will an ops 70 will need to collect more than a 69, a 69 more than 68, etc?
2. Will G6 players be seeing G5 and lower mat tasks, thereby meaning rerolling is about to get even worse?
3. Will this be more of the "invisible tasks" like we had when we added G7 tasks to the pool?

[pure shore]

So pushing players to spend more in the store gotcha..

[acoustic geyser]

Gatcha 😉

[final plinth]

so, can we get a sneak peak on how this is balanced against the redemption amount of g7 materials in choice tokens

[haughty sail]

Translation: we don't want people to f2p these tasks with choice tokens anymore so we've messed it up

[final plinth]

more like "Hold my Beer"

[tidal notch]

2: I think they'll see tasks that they can spend any grade mat, but they'll only be seeing tasks that acquire at their grade. In the past G2-G6 was still getting tasks that was acquire G6 and this should lower rerolls.

Lemme check on number 1 and 3.

[rare vale]

That's my fear too. ATs have been one of the few bright spots in 2025 for this game, so if they ruin them, I'm not sure what else there is to care about.

[final plinth]

But honestly I wouldn't mind it being only g7 tasks if requirements are comparable to G6 tasks. Don't care if I score for g6 or g7 mats if amount of tokens per task completion stays the same.

[old seal]

PvP everywhere is easier coz there is always a ship /miner somewhere. PvP in a select system or two is avoided because the majority of people will find pixels get hurt

[rare vale]

I suppose it depends on server ROE. It wouldn't work well to be everywhere on our server.

[old seal]

A PvP event once in awhile should logically overule any RoE.

[covert bay]

That would be fine if the amount of G7 unc is adapted to be proportional as the amount of G6 unc Ops 70- gets in their packs. Previous iteration required 2200 G7 unc mats while we get way less compared to G6 players and G6 mats. Otherwise it is just another slap in the face for the G7 players

[rare vale]

In the past, we've preferred designated systems rather than suspending ROE and dealing with all the complaining from people who "didn't know". Just easier to us.

Also, I personally hate PvP in this game, and avoid it as often as I can. For me, I'd much rather have designated systems for the event then move on with my day.

[kindred lotus]

I think G7 should be able to do all G3-G7 tasks. Or G6 should be able to do all G3-G6 tasks, G5 can do G3-G5 tasks, etc.

[lunar ocean]

I feel like you have an agenda here. I'm not for this chaos. If you enjoy hitting people whenever wherever, just go rouge and leave it at that.

[sonic burrow]

Why can I suddenly not destroy player surveys on Sigma with my cube?
Since when has this been a thing?
If it is then maybe you can stop 70+ players from attacking me?

[wide cloak]

as a high G6 player, I strongly encourage Scopely to refrain from slapping the G7s in the face again... it didn't go well last time and the wounds have not actually healed. Lose many more it could easily be game over.

[livid stone]

We lost another high g6 player today in our alliance, it is definitely still a fresh wound across the board and spending players have left at a rate I haven’t seen ever in stfc.

[sonic burrow]

It seems like the game is dying, which is really sad.

[silver bramble]

Not only in your alliance. 2 left the game last week either. But Scoop doesn't care about it.

[errant brook]

High Ops players always get punished for their progress.

Scopely ruined COTA and now they ruin AT.

And they will find a way to make other Events worse aswell.

A shame how stfc has been reduced to a revenue machine for their Investors.

And a shame on Connor who has to take the Major responsibility for this mess.

[ashen lark]

My Q trials function has been "frozen" for a few days

[mighty tiger]

how much syndicate XP would an ops70 player need to aquire for that task now?

[muted hamlet]

"Don't forget to include the hashtag ⁠No Access! "

[pure shore]

probably enough to require ya to buy packs.. wonder if they will change acquire UC exborg aswell

[crisp tusk]

The games not dying….scopely is killing it

[acoustic geyser]

MERC! Don't go giving them ideas

[mental vault]

So the solo outpost exchange used to be 7T or 14T Trit. Now its max like 800B - 1.6T trit I think what it was. Wtaf nothing like hamstringing us with an already horrible feature and making it worse. Nothing has changed for me same everything you just cut the rewards by 600-1300%+

[shrewd sandal]

you can acces qtrials from the court of q

the building

[stable cargo]

Starbase’s are broken now, if you go to scan one or look at a log, this screen shows up and then the game locks up completely. Need to restart to continue gameplay…

[ashen lark]

@shrewd sandal stuck on trials explorer press locate button doesn't show where target is.
Game running like still in progress.

[merry phoenix]

that might be an old bug. if you randomly try to hit the back button in the top left corner of the screen you can go back in and it kinda fixes

i would like to know why i should spend money on a slb with payouts that require me to win 1st 20 times to make 1 research upgrade

[ashen lark]

I haven't paid out anything for over 2 years

[stable cargo]

I wish that worked but it doesn’t. You can click where things would normally be, hear the feedback of the click, but nothing happens. So far restarting the game is the only fix, well at least a fix so you can continue playing. If you try to look at the log or the base again, no choice but to restart.

[sterile pecan]

Please, please & please fix the issues with the Khan’s champion missions disappearing b4 adding or adjusting things that will more than likely not be ready to be released. I BEG YOU.

[peak charm]

You know what would benefit players, giving us whole ships or all the tokens for a character instead of only a few of them

[quiet peak]

Can we please get some way to clean our inventory, so it will save some memory on the servers and make it easier to find stuff in my inventory

All this useless junk from old events that we cant use just sitting there

[lunar ocean]

They're intentionally killing the game now. They're just trying to drain as much as they can right now to prepare for shutting it down in 12-18 months.

[hollow gazelle]

My bet is 12 months, or less. The shift to 5+ battle passes running at once, introduction of G7 before it was ready, and new efficiency artifacts rolling out might be the demise bells ringing. It’s unfortunate - I still find enjoyment within the game because of friends.

[lunar ocean]

Maintenance mode in 9-12 months, full shutdown in 12-18.

[odd prawn]

that's like the main game mechanic

[odd prawn]

it's almost like they don't want people in G7. This, it being broken and using the stupidly high cost both in game and in store for the vengeance

[toxic coyote]

Getting the feeling that between bugs and dull content, players are spending less, and so we have a ridiculous number of battle passes as they try to make up their numbers

[old seal]

I have a feeling that I wonder why there are war ships and PvP crew?
I also have a feeling that you think PvP events run every single day.

[old seal]

Do you upgrade PvP crew?

[odd prawn]

I think galaxy wide PvP events are fine, when its ring fenced to combat ships. But going around spamming miners is boring, almost as boring as the recent arcs

[odd prawn]

Feels like we have already had 9-12 months of maintenance this year with the amount of downtime we have had. means we have 6-9 months left 😄

[odd prawn]

So to confirm...If there is an acquire task G6 would see it as one thing and G5 another it wouldn't be the case of having to refresh an acquire task 5000000 times to see your grade?

[tribal leaf]

Haven't been able to login for 2 days, just hangs on adjusting, left it for 10 minutes and still adjusting. Do I really have to uninstall and install after every update?

[vale wasp]

That's not standard, but it can help those who are having issues.

[hollow blaze]

Will there be Mak'ala's Crucible event this month?

[twin cliff]

If you’re going to have Ferengi passes now be the main event store mechanic, and we’re paying for them each time, how about simply making the payouts be “ferengi credits” and not make each one its own unique currency that can’t be used the following month?? The way the items are priced, its all but guaranteed that we’re left with unusable ferengi credits from each month’s battle pass, and they just sit there along with all the other event store credits that I’ve either missed the final day of the event store and lost out on being able to use the currencies I spent actual currency to obtain, or that I simply couldn’t find anything left to use them on because anything I actually need costs a ton of them. But having every month’s ferengi pass credits become instantly obsolete, only to repeat the process the next month is infuriating. Not to mention the “Premium Ferengi Opportunity Chips” that I have unused from prior months, and can’t use currently, as those are even more valuable and having them and not being allowed to use them in the current store is honestly insulting. Make them all carry over like they should!!

[fresh condor]

Employ staff that actually read complaints

[dusky sky]

COW getting cancelled without recompense was a raw deal. When is it coming back?

[crisp tusk]

If they reverted the scoring metrics to the old better rewards than I’d happily start spending again

[grave adder]

Reading more things being broken on the game.

Let me try my hardest to look shocked.

[grave adder]

Nah, cheaper to copy and paste from a template. They already spent money on an HR lady lol.

[tiny axle]

This is Scopely's method of ensuring that you continue to be at a disadvantage compared to the whales unless you invest money to level the playing field.

[grave adder]

You should

[grave adder]

Oh I’ve definitely taken advantage of that and I will this event too lol. It’s the small get backs that count lol

[lunar ocean]

Maintenance mode in this context means no content updates.

[lunar ocean]

It ran last month.

[shell jungle]

given this has been an issue since 2022, I am gonna guess the answer will always be 'no'

[twin cliff]

TBH, I’d prefer they skipped another arc or two and instead either archive old loops, or expand them. There’s no reason to have all these weekly events that pay out rewards of ship parts that have been maxed for an eternity. For example if it weren’t for the two weekly officer badges, I don’t think anyone would waste their time with Stella Thursdays, its a dead loop, like mining Mondays…I don’t need more D’Vor parts, especially since my Feesha is collecting dust too at this point. Most people would rather have ex-borg, Dominion, etc., expanded past G5 than get yet another arc with more currencies to have to go farming on a daily basis. So what did they give us? An arc that takes our main ships and officers out of service for 6 hours at a clip…c’mon Scopely, nobody wants that, especially after just dropping transogen, then Aggravation, and now outposts?? Put the brakes on new stuff…FIX THE OLD STUFF!

[lunar ocean]

I know. Unfortunately, that'll only happen when they plan on shutting the game down altogether. I also imagine they want to do so before a possible #StopKillingGames win in EU.

[prime arrow]

Some good suggestions in here

[gaunt tartan]

[stone roost]

Stop killing games just means they'd have to release tools to allow players to host their own servers if the official ones ever shut down and would also need a way for players to migrate their current account to said private server, it doesn't mean they have to keep updating the game or provide any kind of support so stop killing games passing wouldn't change a massive amount for their end of life plans anyway

And tbh hosting a private server of this game would functionally kill it anyway unless you can somehow recruit a couple of hundred players who are willing to pay for the server costs with you which I imagine they wont do

[lunar ocean]

They probably don't want to do that, since it might take away from a future project.

[stone roost]

The biggest draw for this game is the social aspect anyway, I imagine 99% of people wouldn't play if it was just their alliance on its own server, you'd have to charge people money to host big servers with hundreds / thousands of people on them

[odd prawn]

I'd still say that's what we have had this year with all the copy and paste stuff 😄

[keen loom]

Scopley once again shows how disengaging their product is. Silently changing AT mat tasks to 6300. Get your junk together.

If you want people to quit - just come out and say it.

Try and tell us your goal is different. Junk content drops. Junk spend requirements - and zero communication.

Ask yourself - as a consumer - would you continue to do business with you?

Close the Game if you want, not much will care if you continue like this

[merry comet]

in fairness, it wasn't quietly (see the second-to-last post in #⭐-official-announcements), though it was dumb

• As part of our ongoing efforts to make Alliance Tournament Tasks better suited for all players, we’ve rebalanced and updated the - -Material and Syndicate tasks to match the appropriate player levels. (For example, an Ops 30 player will only see materials based tasks that they can complete.)

[lunar ocean]

Fudge this

[knotty shell]

General feedback:
Was looking forward to the tournament. Saw the amended tasks.
Instant engagement loss, closed the game.

[merry comet]

"better suited" is doing a lot of work in that announcement

[keen loom]

Your right. Should have read between the lines. We’ll be delivering yet another blow to our dwindling player base.

[lunar ocean]

Even a lot of packs don't give that much. The pump and dump continues

<@&509691205798592532> you have ruined alliance tourney, go look at events feedback. you have knack of screwing up even the what remained of okay stuff in the game, are you all really trying to push players away? beacause if you are, you are doing a wonderful job

I am so tired of STFC changing everything. Just stop. Stop "rebalancing", stop "updating" tasks. Put it back to what it was.

[storm oracle]

What will they ruin next?

[clear perch]

you name it they will ruin it

[storm oracle]

The Game itself

[dense belfry]

as a 5* player i saved my revenant mark III rewards specially for tournament... now i can no longer see the 10K 6* material task...
STFC ain't dieing, scopely just keeps killing it more and more

[keen escarp]

Seriously <@&509690795536941056> ??! x3 on 10k tasks?! This is what you call "rebalance"?!

[tacit wind]

it's not a "rebalance", it's literally 10x what it was

[clear perch]

yeah but they want you to spend

[storm oracle]

Everyone expected with rebalancing something easier, they did the opposite 🤣

[cyan isle]

Raised 3x. Hey scopley 🤬 you guys.

[knotty shell]

That might even be what they are after.
They might have realized that the game won't run for much longer without a major overhaul.
But that would cost money, so letting the game die "a natural death due to a dwindling player base" looks better than shutting it down while there's an active playerbase.

Now they only have to make sure the player base IS in fact dwindling => see recent developments.

[lunar ocean]

[rare vale]

Increasing AT tasks was their no spend, because anyone who spends to complete tasks is a fool because the event store payouts are nice, but not so nice that spending hundreds makes any sense.

[haughty sail]

can you for the love of god please stop the task rerolling make the store reset all the time, bought useless officer shards because of it. And while you're at it, make the refreshed tasks STAY IN THEIR SPOT, not a 4K task showing up where 10K tasks normally go ....

They did say that this year was to be the 'Year of Hell' right?

The trend this past year has been "What do you mean the players don't like it when we take rewards from them and make the game worse?? That's it! We're going to punish them for not being happy about their punishment!

Scopely Motto: "The beatings will continue until morale improves"

[stray pond]

Seriously... suspend the AT and fix it... comp chest should be a auto complete with max payout...

[odd prawn]

[mental cloud]

Just saw the 10k g6 mats tasks and now my only real way to do AT F2P is now gone...

[odd prawn]

You have to pay Scopely to have December this year

[opal crane]

Well, come steal them back 😛

[rare vale]

I was just informed G5 mat acquire is 28k UC... that's even worse tan the G6 requirements tripling.

[odd prawn]

54k for G4

[old seal]

@tidal notch please ask your team to specify what they mean by rebalance for AT?

[worn granite]

It's like they are not bothering with the lube this time...

[opal crane]

To the community, remember the DTI store changes? The root of that was to remove the F2P 10k tasks that were obtainable through the DTI store. They tried to spin it as 'rebalancing'. This completely calls for another DTI Store protest. This is a greedy, anti-player, hostile attempt to force the player base into spending, and going into the holidays.

Don't let Scopely off the hook for these hostile actions.

[tacit wind]

They would probably just stop devving the game.

[quiet peak]

Ty for ruining another event all players looked forward too

[keen loom]

Personally. I’d just like an official statement from Scopley.

We’ve squandered this game, over constant quality issues despite many plea’s from the player base to course correct, over multiple years. As a result of failed leadership, failed product development, and quality controls, we’re setting a course for maintenance mode in 2026.

Be the first truth we’ve heard all year.

[worn granite]

Might be a blessing

[odd prawn]

So happy 7th anniversary everyone. have some we hate our players treatment. Excellent work. Can someone get hold of Conor and get him on a live stream now. He has some explaining to do!

<@&509690795536941056>

[blazing ingot]

Appeal to the scopely , or maybe syndicate 3М remove it completely until the end of the tournament. We just had a vote in the alliance - no one will buy the pack for $99 so that the slot will be freed up for another task.

[cyan isle]

They raised every task by 3x

[ashen sinew]

How about no spend events for alliance tourney, it's ridiculous! Don't you Scopely get enough revenue and can afford to let one event happen without spending

[worn granite]

This is close to 5x for ops 63

[frigid geode]

What a cool tournament for the 7th anniversary. We should really celebrate something like this. (Just in case it's not clear: sarcasm.)
This feels like another middle finger to the players.

[cyan isle]

Their loss!

[worn granite]

Not sure what this is, sorry

[opal crane]

I know you're trying to make a point, but it's a weird attempt at a flex. Plus, unless you're adding a few zeroes to this, they don't care about 30k lol

[worn granite]

You guys realize... someone actually said "this will be a good idea"

[cerulean quest]

Why the **** would you make the g6 materials for tournaments harder … instead of 2250 you need to get over 6k for one 10k task ! Insane
Why break something good up !!! Why ?

[opal crane]

They did it for the DTI Store, the community now just has to come together and tell them what's up. They'll now try and spin it and lie like they did before.

[ashen sinew]

exactly Snoot!

[cyan isle]

I’m an example of money they’re losing. Money not being spent. I’m not one person they’re losing 30,000$ from. They lost 40,000 players this year. And just 🤬 some more of us

[opal crane]

Yeah, I get it... but they're not losing 30k lol You weren't going to spend 30k on this game. it's just a really weird attempt at flexing on a video game company lol

[worn granite]

It is easier to just sell the officers every month and be done with it.. i would buy it

[cyan isle]

I was absolutely going to spend fun money. But they’re aren’t getting it. 🤬 them

Reminder that they make these changes when they are sleeping to get a kick out of it. Then think (for maybe a fraction of a second) of maybe reverting any changes.

Guys community managers are not at fault.. they are just the middlepersons between us and the devil.. i mean scopely... often times they are just as angry and they are getting pressure from both sides

Community managers, content creators they have no input on what backwards decisions scopely makes

[opal crane]

Either way #FreeAT
And here's an emoji for everyone to add to their own servers to use here.

[rare vale]

Don't know why anyone would laugh at this, it's truth. Often the mods on discord are not happy with the changes themselves, but they have no control over that fact and are paid to smile and nod. Hopefully they are at least conveying how upset the community is, whether the devs listen is another issue.

[worn granite]

It is a job they have to do like everyone else often thankless they have to put a positive spin on excrement as much as they can

[errant brook]

Reality check - they way is obvious: Savvy took over scopely and forces monetarisation.

They tighten the rope month by month. Nothing will get better. The goal is to push it to the limit and above.
You participate for a long time and got tired of spending? Next - and forgotten.

Nobody cares about the community anymore. But hey, they do a quiz and surveys

[lost bough]

The community managers are Scopely employees, ergo they have their employers interests as their priority. They don't care one tiny bit about anyone here, despite what you might hope. All you are is a wallet, in their eyes.

[keen escarp]

If they can't do anything for the playerbase, then they're useless. And they choose their job, they choose to work for Scopely: this is why you can see them spend their time to taunt unhappy players.

[opal crane]

lol I'm aware. I've been calling it out since Scopely was acquired. I'm pretty sure they actually block any message that says the name of the company fully.

[worn granite]

They might be employees but they have no control over what scopely decides as much as any employee in a company can influence top management's decision

[worn granite]

They can suggest but in the end it's scopely's decision

[opal crane]

While I get what you're saying, it's like getting mad at the cashier at walmart because the company they work for is awful. They're not decision makers. They're just random people trying to get their bag and do right by the people as best as they are allowed... but the problem is that Scopely doesn't allow them to do anything meaningful.

[worn granite]

I still remember the stretch of time when there was no CM.. it was a warzone

[opal crane]

Don't berate the cashier at walmart because Walmart raised prices.

Can't inmagion why..., Not the community managers fault, you do what you can with putting out fires left and right. Its just the devs, quality department and overal management vision to make it p2play as much as possible...

[devout dragon]

WTF……. Why change the G6 requirements for the G6 AT tasks, you want more G6 plus players then nerf the thing many pushed on to G6 to get. Stop moving the goal posts or you’ll loose more players

[acoustic geyser]

While I appreciate the heads up on upcoming "rebalancing". It would be much better if the company learned some honesty. At this point the community knows scopely patterns and we can read between the lines but the dishonest and aggressive push away from ftp possible tasks is something that we do not like.

Return the values for both syndicate and material acquisition to the prior values for absolute fairness. That's the minimum scopely can do

[haughty umbra]

🤣 🤣 This is why I dont buy anything outside of the basic 20 dollar pass monthly

[elder spear]

Just decided to quit doing those as well, no more spending from my side unless game improves quiet a lot

[rare vale]

I hate the "word" yeet, but I'll allow it this time, lol

[acoustic geyser]

The move to push everything behind a paywall turns it from a game into an atm machine for scopely. All we ask is for some gameplay elements and they keep removing them

[rare vale]

Wonder why 🤔

[verbal adder]

Lol… slow mode enabled… I wonder why… reap what you sow??

[keen cloud]

Yes. We are aware.

[final plinth]

<@&509690795536941056> As you like short and structured feedback:

• I like that gain material events are now available for lower ops. Makes it possible for them to complete these tasks
• The requirement changes to G6 (can't speak of G7 yet) are a slap in the face and show how vastly disconnected you are from your player base. Who signs this off?
• Same goes for Syndicate requirement. It was fine.
• 10k tasks are now mixed among other tasks makes it really combersome. Task should be ordered in descending list by points. 10k at the top (as that is what ppl care about)

How do you find time to "rebalance" the tasks but leave this unaddressed:

• The amount of AT currency you have in your inventory is missing for the AT store page since ever (?) sometimes it shows up - clearly it's a bug that should be easy to fix.
• You make the tasks harder but don't update Emerald Chain or the store? Why? Where are Godsend, Tantalus Field, Transwarp thingy FT etc., the G6 epic skins, parts for the recent special ships (rela, gs31, dauntless, transogen shippy etc)
• Why are there still store items showing up that I completely own like artifacts or skins? They should be removed, same with maxed officers and instead introduce as AT currency. Consult with players first on some items that have an ongoing exchange value after maxing their main item. In regards of officers a direct exchange for oficer xp or Transporter Patterns would be sufficient.

Good list. I would also add:

Why does the store not have sliders for multi pulls?
Why does the store reset to the top because of my teammates completing tasks?
Why doesn't each player have their own task pool rather than "competing" with teammates for tasks?... or, at least why not at least separate pools by grade completely?

[tiny axle]

Who knows what’s going on at Scopely right now? I am absolutely convinced that their recent choices are driven by personal motives, almost as if they’re on a vendetta against the players. After they nerfed COTA, they’ve now decided to nerf AT too. What’s the point, Scopely? You're clearly not listening to players - if you did, a lot of us players wouldn't be so vocal. The more you provoke the players, the more will choose to stop spending altogether and walk away. I believe many of the players have demonstrated incredible patience, but there are limits to that patience, and it's starting to push them to their breaking point.

[tidal notch]

First off, thank you for the bullet points! That is so much easier to read than a big wall of text.

Second, really appreciate that your feedback is constructive! Will pass on.

[copper tartan]

Until there is a change in leadership/decision makers at Scopley I won't be spending another cent on this game. No packs, no battle passes. NOTHING. Every step Scopley makes as a company is in the wrong direction. I've gotten so apathetic about this game I forget to even do my dailies now. Prior to this 💩 over the past few months (let's be honest nearly a year) I was a consistent daily player (multiple hours) and a semi frequent spender. Your decisions have ruined this game and my any enjoyment I got playing. You're constant moving the goal post is just beyond infuriating. Scopley needs to learn that sometimes they need to take a loss for the greater good of the player base.

[final plinth]

yes good points.
For 1) it's because it's the same layout as faction stores. and they are lazy and faction store also have not the pull every day feature as refineries have... ah well. asking for this for months
For 2) I don't have the problem on PC because it fits all my screen with the community mod, but when on phone it annoys me as well - that's why I use the stores from PC because they are getting so clutterd. This also goes for normal FAction stores as well.
3) At the rate they are distributing the re-rolls. They could just have a pick your task. Maybe offer the full list of tasks for any player and they can just chose which they take. Spice it up to make each task only available once per day. or give them a cooldown for once every x-days like the 500 solo armada directive tasks. Also this event should be about grinding hostiles, mining, maybe some OPTIONAL pvp but not mindlessly exchanging tokens for currency like temporal credits, ex borg credits, choice tokens, q-trials and what not

I just pulled the day before yesterday 500 seska shards from DTI store. The "biggest" exchange option is 3. It took a whole flight from munich to hamburg to do this. You see how silly this is?

[harsh jay]

Previously 17K, now 32K.

• Wow, is Scopley facing bankruptcy? 😉

[austere reef]

The re-balance of material and syndicate tasks for grade of player actually means removing the ability of one group to do them FTP and making it so none can do it FTP. By Scopely logic, this = fair and rebalanced.

[plain dome]

Have been playing since beta and seriously considering quitting.
It's getting too time-consuming and with no functioning QA for this game especially at arc release it's simply not worth my time anymore

And they know what they're doing. The game is being shut down soon. This is just to get that last bit of money out. It's all intentional. It sucks because the first half of the year was great.

[opal crane]

It was also the name of an episode which defined 'a year of hell' lol Which....... if you look at the past year, you'll notice some things.

[lunar ocean]

No, they're waiting for spending to finally stop so they can shut it down. They don't care. They have Pokémon GO now. They no longer need STFC.

I feel sorry for the devs being forced to do all of this in preparation for losing their jobs...

[faint sage]

Is there presently a login issue with the game?

[quiet peak]

There is presently all kinds of things wrong with the game

[rocky trellis]

I am not rewarding this fiasco by spending. May not even spend on the $20 battlepass 2nd reward track.

Changes to alliance tournaments are outrageous.

[odd prawn]

I mean I read it as that too daddy@tidal notch

[acoustic geyser]

Hammy - we just want some fair gameplay without aggressive monetisation.

[faint sage]

OK, no login issue. Just a WiFi network that didn't like the game.

[odd prawn]

Consider tiddlywinks 🙂

[odd prawn]

Still Conor's fault

[acoustic geyser]

While funny, that's not why I'm here and is a serious topic

[odd prawn]

Times like these we need some levity... they also aren't listening

[pure shore]

Guess they gotta pay for the scopley Christmas party some how, oh wait they are so greedy they probably dont get one

[odd prawn]

They do...but they also have to pay 99.99 for each item of food or drink they consume

Hammy gets charged each time he blinks in patch notes too ain't that right @tidal notch

While I am being light hearted I do want to say with all sincerity that it's the 7th anniversary of the game and you quite literally could not have done it without the players.

You should be giving back to the community not taking even more stuff away from us.

We are humans
The game is meant to be fun
You should be showing us appreciation especially right now. We aren't just a profit margin...

<@&509690795536941056>

[full gate]

I'm just gonna stop spending. Even I had tons to spend I wouldn't because the product is garbage and the rewards a slap in the face.

[cosmic hinge]

I'm not opening a ticket - but a general heads up to everyone - my OUTPOST took my directives, counted down, and then didnt do anything. Careful spending those directives right now

[wild hearth]

Way to 💩 on everyone with the new Alliance Torunament "rebalancing" Scopely. Feeling really appreciated as a customer/player

[acoustic geyser]

This is all I'm asking for, gameplay.. I want fun gameplay. Entice us with some fun and a gift here or there, once in a while.

[odd prawn]

I totally agree, been doing the same thing for months

[rare vale]

Next time? How was this not the final straw? I hit the BP only mode like a year ago (with one exception purchase), and now I'm rethinking spending even $20/month because of this trash. I'm sick of people rewarding them for making awful mistakes like what they did to COTA and now AT. That's why things don't change, because people say "next time", then still don't do it when "next time" comes.

[umbral silo]

When scopely says rebalanced I’m starting to think that meant rebalanced so they could get more money.

[olive summit]

@raw fiber @tidal notch Amazing, outpost is stuck and I ask for a refund of directives. And I get a “issue is being investigated, so no I won’t refund” while a SLB for outpost is running.

[torpid cargo]

There are not many things, that I can recall, that have ever been rebalanced in this game in the player's favor...... Scopley is just throwing stuff at us now in hopes of keeping revenue afloat. Its not that they don't care about the player base....its just now that the player base is releasing, they never cared. Its always been about quarterly revenue. The squeeze is relly being felt now by even the low spenders. Its not fixable.

[storm oracle]

Looking so forward for the "we heard your Feedback blablablabla" post

[final plinth]

On a side note: Funny thing is you are "adjusting" that G7 only can get G7 material task, however their G6 Armada pack for 68+ still rewards g5 most of the time

[pure shore]

The adjustments that should have been done is for the lower lvls doing 5K tasks is add some AT credits to the rewards

You are 100% correct, I was unfortunately too busy registering my outrage

Greedy Scopely is killing this game.

"rebalancing" the two by four up our rear ends.

[autumn badge]

This is actually disgusting. Insults all our intelligence and confirms that you really are just running this into the ground ahead of closing the game or selling it off.

[somber cloak]

Servers are running like trash FYI

[cyan torrent]

Such a "fun" change to the game. Great work scopely! I'm sure you'll be rolling in the profits now.

[elfin minnow]

I see scopley decided to take the game and boldly go throw it in the trash.

"re-balance" - that's the perfect phrase for our investment. having some "affordability" issues, can't afford to buy whatever they're selling

[delicate grotto]

We pay for games. We get paid for work. We are shoveling trash. Sounds like work.

[crude dove]

if you are going to nerf the scoring for alliance tournament, you should add new stuff to the alliance tournament store! like where are gs31, squall, revanant ship parts!

[sweet forum]

Dear scopely:

[inner kraken]

Here would be the most basic feedback I could give you as a company.

DO BETTER

but I’m not going to hold my breath because I’ve been here seven years. How long do you think those of us that have been here for you for seven years? Will continue to put up with this stuff.

[shadow dust]

this is some BS, I don't remember Scopely posting anything about this was going up. Can't do that easy win anymore.

[woeful bison]

Absolute joke of a rebalance it was perfect before you could have just added smaller scoring tasks for the missing material g3 and g4 and g5 players but instead went for the money grab, won’t be long before you “Rebalance” opportunity tokens or dti shards as they are easy scoring which your not gaining funds from

[fluid mist]

especially since last tourny that same task was like 2200 unc crystal and I didn't even ops up yet now its almost 3x more like seriously scopley thought you wanted us to engage not disengage...

[tacit wind]

Scopley's official response
https://tenor.com/view/south-park-gif-15902363702827597003

[dusky brook]

So the player base has to go apoplectic and threaten mutiny to get a response? Noted.

[wild hearth]

BAU

[molten cedar]

Seriously <@&509690795536941056> the response from scopely regarding something that is has literally turned practically the entirety of your SPENDING user base against you is absolutely repugnant.

We don't want you to "think about it" we want immediate fixes and compensation for your disgusting anti-player changes.

I wish I can say I'm surprised, but I'm not. Im sure no one else is either. Y'all ruined this game started with small cuts and now it's just plain offensive. Your message about hearing us is nothing but lip service. If you heard us, this never would have happened in the first place.

And it took something like 10 hours to come up with that.

[wild hearth]

they needed to see what affect the change had on people spending before taking action. always about the cash with $copely

[full gate]

The issue IS NOT THE NERFED AT EVENT.... the issue is every change or "rebalancing" has nothing to do with the mechanics of the game working properly but EVERYTHING to do with getting my money faster. Real issues are IGNORED and the only changes you "rebalanced" were nerfing the tasks to make them pay only tasks. Meanwhile suggestions or problems with the tasks for g3-g5 players were ignored. Where is this rebalancing? IT'S A LIE.

[molten cedar]

I'd love to keep giving scopely my money...I just want them to give me content worth my money instead on making things more expensive and giving way less in return.

4000 dollars for Vengence blueprints is a joke,

Broken events that you need to buy a 100 ship and 5 more upgrade packs to be able to finish anything all for a reward of thousands of materials for 3 teirs below me and a a dozen 6* gas I can actually use.

10 freakin battle passes a month all with mixed rewards where some are useful and some are trash?

Maybe they would not have lost their top spenders if they weren't abusive towards them. Now that they have lost their golden whales they have come to milk what they can from everyone else.

Probably the most inept business plan I have ever seen.

[wind prism]

I got to give it to scople can’t fix 7 year old issues but knows how to money grab.

[pure shore]

Scopley: We have heard your feedback, but just love money to much to care

[cyan torrent]

"We updated task values to better reflect the current state of the game, because they had not been adjusted since the feature’s original release."

You increased the acquire materials by 3x. My choice rewards (+ other sources) haven't increased by that much. Not exactly my definition of balance.

[hot dock]

The game is becoming increasingly difficult to enjoy. Why would anyone want to pay money for something that is beginning to cause more stress than any enjoyment

[pure mango]

https://tenor.com/view/head-in-the-sand-gif-14379968346400111553

[brave drum]

I personally love that you took Chronicle of the Ascendant and Alliance Tournament, two of the greatest F2P reward sources in the game, and completely butchered them to only cater to P2P. That’s honestly really, really cool. Good job, Scopely.

[wind prism]

It’s a good time for everyone to re evaluate game play.

[sick hull]

How do I find my posts in discord?

[woeful nymph]

Now would be a great time to toss out one of those bonus monthly battlepasses <@&509690795536941056> . With the inflated choice token tasks costs, you might repair some of the bad vibes you brought upon yourselves.

[nova sierra]

Would've prior to this. I Would've bought it yesterday. After 2day no

[true beacon]

Changing tasks from free to pay only is adjusting for the current state of the game. In other words Scopely only wants spenders.

[wild hearth]

How is that you never fix the actual bugs? Do you go through special training to be this incompetent?

[broken herald]

I just saw the current numbers for the alliance tournament tasks. These revised numbers are crazy high. Just...wow.

[hushed rock]

This game limits players in playing. Wants to upgrade my new ship with forbidden tech but I can’t because forbidden tech fusion rods. Needs 28,120 rods. I am tired of can’t get anything done in this game. Not rich to just to spend and spend. I am at a point of quitting.

[muted hamlet]

wow, scopely, can you hire someone who can communicate with humans please?

[full gate]

As someone who has 2 years and about $15K into this game... if you are not invested... then quit and pick a better game that isn't so greedy. Don't spend a dime. It's a wasted investment for a game that is swirling the drain.

[urban verge]

Those alliance tournament changes are so greedy its insane. Why is it every change they make outright makes the game worse for players. It never feels like it's meant to help us in anyway only make it worse. Truly baffling stuff. To triple the requirements for the alliance tournament materials daily is profound levels of greed.

[keen loom]

It’s one thing Connor has delivered on from his original message. “We’re not going to please everyone.”

[full gate]

Scopely will not learn until the game dies, the staff are laid off and by then it will be too late for the designers to fix. They just be lookinjg at pink slips. Don't say I never warned you. Reverse course or start laying off staff. My message to staff is, speak up if you wanna keep your job.

[dire wigeon]

Alliance Tournaments as a Catch up designed feature should never have to "keep up" with costs. The entire point is to let people catch up. if you want to make Alliance Tournaments a feature that has state of the art stuff thats just released recently etc. then yeah you can adjust those prices but old content should not get more expensive

[keen loom]

Especially when most of it is broken.

[nova sierra]

Excellent point

[wild hearth]

it already failed as a catch-up feature when they chose to add all of the new stuff only to the Master League last month

[empty jacinth]

Make that “we are not going to please anyone but ourselves”

[hollow torrent]

It would be interesting to know how many alliances are being affected by this, Maqi on 136 is in the same boat. Nobody seems interested in fixing it, and Scopely have said nothing to suggest it’s even an issue.

[storm oracle]

We heard your feedback Blabla announcement is out

[old seal]

Probably one of the most ridiculous suggestions to expect alliances of 90+ people to try and coordinate .

[lament cloak]

Is there a moderator or CM available?

[lusty orchid]

Dear Scopely, player sentiment is low, probably the lowest it’s ever been. Over the last year launches have been filled with issues, events have been poorly designed and scoring metrics have been changed last minute (even after the event has launched) and never in the players’ favour. This trajectory is.not sustainable. In return we have seen players leave, friends we have been playing with for years. We love this franchise and the game, but these actions make it harder for us to do so, we want to keep playing with the community that has built up for years, We want to struggle with the G7, G8, G9 content, but things have to change for the better of the players. Please change course.

[lament cloak]

Still no <@&509691205798592532> reaching out...

[lusty basin]

The writing was on the wall when they started disregarding lower level players and removing events from them. They also refuse to fix / ignore lower level bigs, but the mid /higher level players continued to spend.

Alarm bells should have been ringing when they started to disregard mid level players and started to ignore bugs that affect mid and low level players but the high level players continued to spend.

Now high level players / big spenders are being affected, there is uproar and the CMs bend over backwards to try and solve the issues.

Spenders are treated so much differently than mid / low level players / ftp players.

If only there had been so much more disdain months ago when they started killing the game from the bottom up.

[plain dome]

Maybe it's time to quit the game and find a company that cares about it's players.
Have any support at all and do not deliver half finished content once per month.
Scopely probably spends more time making their videos than doing actual QA.
One thing I have learned from this game is that if I see another game from Scopely I will not touch it with a ten foot pole.

[lusty orchid]

Actually I’ve been playing Marvel Strike Force and it’s a lot more stable and less buggy than stfc. Both are a Scopely properties, difference is that Digit program stfc

[plain dome]

Enjoy that 😊
To me one team/division reflects back to the company and thus I will not touch any other Scopely product
If enough think like me it might be better for Scopely to shut stfc down instead.
Which btw would free 2-3 hours of time for me on a daily basis 😂

[short urchin]

Yeah Pikku you still not banned 😂

[fringe pivot]

`Commanders,

For the November 19 launch of Alliance Tournaments, we updated task values to better reflect the current state of the game, because they had not been adjusted since the feature’s original release.`

Is that just a euphemism for “We just want your money”?

[plain dome]

Still being polite here

[short urchin]

They always want our money, there are actually 5 Battle passes. 5 that bring nothing. so maybe they should bring some good "WORKING" content to be paid for it.

[granite grail]

27 rerolls to get 30k points on day one of AT! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

How is this doing better? How is this making the game an enjoyable stress free experience?

The more $cumley treat this like a whale milking platform and not a competitive gaming experience, the more you are killing this game, and alienating the player base!

Doing better might have been informing us of these changes a week in advance...
#nomoremoneyforscumley

[jolly geyser]

Scrotley do not give a flying fig at a rolling donut about the uproar. They have only one goal, maximising player spending to increase the profits. When that won’t work they will simply shut the game down

[storm oracle]

What does the sentence "reflect the current state of the game" mean?

[quaint haven]

That half of the whales left and they’re trying to milk the other half dry before they quit too.

[storm oracle]

Wouldtn it be more smart to get the half who quit back with doing things the community wanted? 😄

[vivid nebula]

That’s just silly talk, they only care about what they can get out the community and when that dries up this game will stop

7 year anniversary, scopely had a good chance to curry favour with the community, but instead they’d rather watch it burn

[jolly geyser]

#burningdownthehouse

They would get more Money if they get those other Whales back. 😄

Think that ship has sailed tbh

[upbeat imp]

7 years - maybe its time to start making extra research queues and build queues available in game.

Finally added Maqi to the alliance tournament list on server 136, but looks like demotion on its way because we still have zero tasks available. Thanks for nothing, brilliantly worked, as per usual.

Thanks alot SCOPLEY I'm not able to complete any 10k alliance events now because they're all "paid" - I used to be able to do the 10k materials event's but that' now jacked up and wants 6000+ UC mats to complete. You guys SUCK

[vivid nebula]

They just killed tournaments with these bafflingly greedy and unnecessary changes

[storm oracle]

They still are thinking of how to ruin it more

Perhaps they do 10k task = 99€ Pack only for the task not more, 8k task = 80€ and so on

[agile slate]

At this point, do you really think Scamley has learned anything? They keep saying we hear your feedback blah blah blah and then make greedy cash grabs that negatively impact players and try to call it rebalancing. The juice isnt worth the squeeze and players need to wake up and call them out for this bull like when they introduced trashpoints. Tournament store got updated with new things but making tasks impossible to do so players cant get them makes so much sense. Meanwhile things that should have been made free ages ago still dont have any sourcing like 2nd builder or researcher.

[crimson lotus]

yeah man, they know people like the BP's so what do they do? introduce 6

So go from 30 a month to 140 - plus whatever that auto screen adjustment thing they did, it SUCKS TOO

[rare vale]

Yeah, my alliance's participation is way down. They make changes like this to try to make a buck, and it does the exact opposite. Whoever is providing their financial strategy needs to be fired swiftly and fearcely. I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it, Scopely needs to learn that forced spending is an awful tactic to make money. They should be doing like other games and focusing on a fun game with affordable and meaningful purchases. Players react to this strategy in positive ways because, if they have fun, and content doesn't break the bank, they become willing to spend more often. Creating organic spending like this is what keeps the best games going.

[celest cedar]

The simple answer to the question Scopes is, are you actually seeing more $$$ come in when you money grab and tick off all your players that have been preparing and saving up for AT, or just lower scores across the board? I don't think you're player base is stupid enough to buy what you call "rebalancing". We know you are just jacking up requirements so they aren't available without buying packs.

You did the same BS when higher lvls asked for the Vengeance SMS back. We got it, but not an improvement. We got the reduced bps, 6* materials worth squat, and only score on new content that needs to be bought, down to 2 days instead of 6. People who still need a Vengeance aren't your "let's drop a couple grand for a ship spenders", and they aren't the ones spending 7* mats! Make it easier to aquire the Vengeance and maybe you'll get some parts packs sold. Maybe you will make the players you still got happy for a change!

QUIT 💩ING ALL OVER OUR GAME!

You're making less money because you're player base is quitting smart guys!

[rich elm]

so you could not figure out how to display the correct store currency ( after how long ?? ) and the "fix" was to just remove the displayed currency. Next level of elite programming right here. "It's not broken if we just remove it -- Scopely"

[muted geyser]

Did they stop giving officer shards to BP under 50 now?

[keen loom]

AT rebalancing is just another example of the same thinking that brought us the attempted DTI rebalancing. No lessons learned, right Scopley?

[cosmic coral]

You really need to make it easier to get standard armada directives, it's an absolute joke you are only handing out 2 or 3 Epic/Rare directives in alliance store claims and then the 6 day wait for Uncommon, come on Scopely sort it out please!

[lethal sedge]

<@&509690795536941056> another AT run, the same issue: #💬-general-feedback message

Please forward this feedback. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to have such a weird value for the Omega Particles. It only creates another dead item in our inventories of which we already have an unmanageable amount.

[carmine yew]

that should be a 10k task not 4k 😂

[celest cedar]

It'd be 10k if there was a $100 pack for it!

[lofty musk]

The compensation chest isn’t enough to overcome the changes to the number of alliances promoted and relegated. There was no reason to make those changes to the tournament other than just to be jerks.

[wide cloak]

okay... 15 days of pulls not good enough. The AT changes are enough for me to stop playing the game altogether - you take the things that players enjoy and break them and ignore the pain points that continue to be called out over and over and over and over again.

turn off the AT, revert to the previous design and relaunch next week. else expect the request for account deletions to start coming in. I've spent way too much money on this game to be treated like this.

[lunar ocean]

Call me greedy, but you could have at least given a choice for the ship tokens instead. You know how much G5+ players need trit/sigma trit...

[vivid knoll]

For the Daily Elite Rewards, did someone forget a "k" after the 40 sigma trit or 10 sigma dilithium?

[placid ermine]

regarding aug exile systems: please fix the regen rates and the stuck attackers. several systems on s26 are very sparse and not functioning well.

[lunar ocean]

It's based on the station pack, so it only gives steel in reasonable amounts. That's the same reason why a lot of treasuries are like this.

[wooden spire]

More compensation and lots of thumbs up from the easily appeased brigade.

Kind of reminds me of the person who beats their partner, then says sorry and begs forgiveness, is forgiven and then does it again, and says sorry... and so continues the cycle.

[carmine yew]

This is not "Player Balanced" to ops 62 , even with choice rewards

[steep summit]

Wow scopely, how many times can you get it wrong, alliance tournaments ruined, are you purposely trying to stop people spending? I have stopped spending because you continue to try force spending. No stability improvements, waves still broken, menus still so slow it takes an hour just to buy/collect stuff in faction store, switch ships/crews. 👎

[stray pond]

Here's a thought... how about the CEO do a quarterly "state of the game " video in which he briefls the quarterly earnings like a shareholders meeting or board of directors? Maybe even plug like other Content Creators and ask for patreon donations if there's a money crunch... but based on the amount of money coming in... unless those software engineers are overcharging... I don't see the improvements overcoming the consistent glitches and issues...

[sudden folio]

Can we please fix the reroll system or get more than 12 rerolls a day? its such a crap system

[kind vale]

At this point Scopely needs to take a step back and look at their testing environment compared to production. The Testing environment and testing process is obviously lacking and not properly mirroring production environment and gameplay. All these "fixes" either do not work or break other features when deployed. If they want players to spend, the product needs to provide a good experience and that has been lacking from so many technical issues.

[quick gale]

[restive fjord]

Even with the comp gift, Alliance Tournaments need to be cancelled this time around and reworked properly

[crimson lotus]

I don't know what kid in a sweat shop is writting these descriptions but trying to decipher the code is giving me a headache. i'm sure there's a better way to say this

[dawn ice]

whats unclear? they describe exactly how the officers work

[crimson lotus]

Each round vs Armadas or Invading Entities, this officer has a 75% chance (100% at Rank 5) to double your weapon shots for 2 rounds

At the start of each round in PvP, if the enemy ship has any combat state active, Nog reduces the enemy’s Critical Hit Chance by 20% (or 70% at Rank 5) for 2 rounds.

Or you could do this: At the start of each round against players, if the enemy ship has any combat state active, Nog reduces the enemy’s Critical Hit Chance by 20% (or 70% at Rank 5) for 2 rounds.

[rose tapir]

🤣

[crimson lotus]

I mean, the way they word thing's is weird.

They also need to go back and define and clean up all the language of ALL the officers, and stick to a naming convention, instead of using hostile, opponent, etc etc

Look at john harrison, that's a clear and concise description.

But to say something like, increases shots every round, for 2 rounds is a little silly to be nice about it.

which is it? every round? or two rounds?

I mean, run this through chatgpt for cryin out loud

[dawn ice]

its every round against x for 2 rounds

theres no fat on that, every word is a necessary descriptor

[crimson lotus]

Its overly complicated. Just say 2 rounds.

[dawn ice]

how often does it trigger then

once? start of battle? every 100 rounds? key information was removed

[crimson lotus]

We're saying almost the same thing, the language needs to be streamlined.

We just see it from different angles.

[dawn ice]

im not saying the same thing. im saying the language in those 2 examples is not only fine, its necessary

[rose tapir]

Not sure disagreeing with adequate wording makes it wrong. In fact those 2 examples are much better than some. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Scopely bashing when it comes to the bugs and issues but yeah....bad day?

[honest flicker]

This is the second AT in a row where I have accepted the 10K acquire ex-borg uncommon credits, observed the task light up as green then gone and acquired said credits only to return to the at screen where it now shows the task was not accepted afterall. I have only experienced this with the task specified above. I have attempted to use the in-game help feature to request assistance with this, but the chat bot does not give me options for this problem and will not progress the help chat. Even when I typed out the problem it defaulted back to requiring me to pick a generic problem from a list of options. I am more and more thinking about just deleting my account and walking away.

[willow raven]

This is the worse arc you’ve dumped out. Nobody wants this outpost crap. The changes to alliance tournaments were also hit garbage. This anniversary event is a joke. You used to give out full officer unlocks.

[fervent falcon]

NEVER do the bot way for assistance, man. That's a BIG DEAD END right there.

[honest flicker]

What is the best way to get assistance responses?

[fervent falcon]

I agree. Would even go as far as saying I would take Flashpoints any day over this C.R.A.P.

[kind vale]

<@&509690795536941056> I mean this (#🛠-known-issues message) is nice and all but what about all the broken waves and the event that needs players to run waves?

[tidal notch]

We still are planning on posting the state of the game, but want to make updates to cover some of the recent developements.

[tidal notch]

Pinged you

[cyan isle]

Did you guys watch Rev on his state of the game?

[quick gale]

Scopely literally stating that they want to exploit the players

[narrow laurel]

so scopely puts out a wave sms event and the waves are broken, players getting booted, etc. whqt a crock of 💩

[wild hearth]

Player base: the AT changes show that you're being way to greedy
Scopely: we hear you
Also Scopely: here's yet another Treasury chest this month for you to buy

[cunning tulip]

So… ran 6 elite50 SoloWD, to get the heroic done, and try out fancy new client.
<@&509690795536941056> - The good news - it’s definitely more stable, only once did I have a ship decide to go on zombie break with two queued for killing, and that’s running six in a row on an iPad, with no restart between them. Which is about as cursed as it gets.
It’s still not perfect, still can’t really trust you’re going to get what you ask for, so still have to watch it like a hawk. But a really tangible improvement.
The bad news. Apparently it’s the end of the world, and 6x5 no longer equals 30.
Ill take the W.
Big improvement 👍
PS. this doesn’t come close to balance the scales for wrecking AT… it was working “fairly” reliably, and ppl generally like it. You just couldn’t resist, could you..
No, no one will be buying Syndi packs or Planetary charts from our alliance.

[jolly geyser]

Oh but we have you a one time compensation but still keep our amended alliance tournament which you all hate.

[tidal notch]

I'm hearing Solo seems to be much better but hearing that group WD is still having issues. Have you tried group WD yet?

[brave drum]

@tidal notch Any consideration for Khitomer’s Revenge and similar elite recruit crews being added to the Officer Depot?

[queen estuary]

so I just got my ss revenant to tier 5. Should I wait to scrap it since I'm not Ops 51?

[toxic coyote]

Did Year of Hell arc actually end?

[cunning tulip]

Just did a 40 mirror group to earn my missing wave, including a couple players from out of alliance. It was smooth for us.
I don’t do many group ones these days tho tbh can’t really compare…

Good news. 29+10 is definitely >30, even in scopely world 😉

[cyan isle]

Dear Scopely and STFC Team,
I am writing as a dedicated player who fully understands the need for revenue to sustain Star Trek: Fleet Command. New content, events, and ongoing development all depend on it, and I have no issue with that. In fact, I support reasonable spending, such as $20 packs or battle passes, to fully participate in alliance tournaments.
For context, if just 5,000 players spent $20 each during a single alliance tournament, that would generate $100,000 in revenue—funds that could address bugs, improve stability, and enhance the overall experience.
However, recent tweaks to alliance tournaments appear designed to push for $100+ spends per player. Instead of driving those purchases, the changes resulted in 150 elite tokens—equivalent to about $100 in pack value—being distributed to every player. With an estimated 200,000 active players, this equates to roughly $4 million in free value handed out, generating zero revenue and potentially costing you significant opportunity.
We players would greatly appreciate some transparency: Was this outcome worth it for Scopely? How many more players will quit due to frustrating “money grab” mechanics before the focus shifts back to creating a fun, engaging game that retains and grows the community—ultimately benefiting your bottom line?
Thank you for your time and consideration.

[brave drum]

First do the starship research called benevolence of Q

[cosmic coral]

Guess I won't bother with the Alliance Tournaments then, they are a joke with the new costs.

[queen estuary]

what new costs?

[cosmic coral]

They seem to be twice as much now as they were last time

[cyan isle]

3x increase for g6 players who spend money

[cosmic coral]

Game is literally becoming a joke for real

[queen estuary]

cost of the rewards I'm guessing?

[hollow torrent]

Only twice? Try three times more. 😒

[queen estuary]

just did it

[hollow torrent]

Just retired, so won’t be spending to make their masters even wealthier, especially after the debacle of our alliance losing out on the ability of doing a whole days’ worth of Tournament tasks.

[cunning tulip]

G6 players should have more dti creds than they can spend, and pull krenim time weapon and Janeway pocket watch daily. Especially since the DTI creds no longer score for CotA, so no point hoarding…
In 30 days you have enough to complete the temp disruptor task twice every day of AT, and you can complete it twice using xindi rare pull also.
They leaves 3/15 tasks which should be a gimme doing acquire exborg uc.
The people these changes hurt are g5 players who get to syndi 45 and could just do the 225k syndi pulling the dti chests and all the rest. And that’s bad.
Nerfing the syndi task is just awful. Mats tasks costing 25k multiphasic or 1/3 of your choice tokens as a g6 shouldn’t matter to you…
If it does, frankly, you’re doing this wrong…

[brave drum]

After you scrap, make sure you apply the MkII refit prior to doing any upgrades. It’ll add upgrade component efficiency that makes it easier to get back to Tier 5.

[queen estuary]

so I shouldnt worry about waiting till Ops 51?

[cosmic coral]

Yep, I'm Ops 51 🙁

[cunning tulip]

Yep. You got the shaft.

Although you now also can do a mats task with choice rewards…

If you didn’t already blow them ofc.

[brave drum]

You’re leaving out the ExBorg credit pulls from NX01 refinery, as well as Command Center upgrades for Uncommon Commander skill points

[cunning tulip]

I mentioned exborg uc creds task 🙂

By time you’re g6 your CC will be upgraded to 60 anyhow, and it’s too valuable to wait on a rare task to show up anyhow

It’s not needed..

[brave drum]

Also prior to getting getting the DTI artifacts to level 10 or whatever you can buy endless amounts of them with your mountain of credits. That’ll give you a backlog of temporal disruptors for the future

[cunning tulip]

But, once more, like CotA, it’s more about not bothering to communicate these changes ahead of time rather than the changes themselves.
Except the syndi task, which is now a pure pay task, and does materially make it harder for some to get their fill of 10k tasks.

[cunning tulip]

You can keep pulling those artefacts forever

I hope lol

I am…

[brave drum]

They’ve had a syndicate BP for the last 3-4 ATs. If that continues, you can save up a couple days of rewards + a couple days of Syndicate XP pulls for the task. I did it.

[cunning tulip]

It wants 3m syndi for me

[brave drum]

You can, but only one pull per day after the artifact is upgraded to a level (not certain which level)

Yeah I’m 63 I’m still 1M

[cunning tulip]

Yes. As I mentioned. 20 shards each per day. 40 per day, 1200 per month, enough to do the task twice a day.

[brave drum]

Right, I’m just saying that ignores the 5000+ you can smash into prior to the daily pull limit

[cunning tulip]

Syndi task is basically dead without money….

[cyan isle]

Have the pack store offerings been adjusted accordingly, increasing rare G6 mats to 6200+ per $100 pack so one purchase can still complete a task as before? Or has this change quietly made competitive participation three times more expensive without corresponding value updates? Rhetorical question.

[urban verge]

The fairest way to respond to the alliance task "adjustments" you did would be to revert them back to what they were. You did nothing to make them better you just made it worse to finish tasks and called it a day. Who wrote that message chatgpt? Fairness for who? The shareholders?

[slim shoal]

Using words like ‘balancing’ instead of ‘nerfing’ makes them feel less bad when they have to lie to our faces.

With the trust and respect of the player base gone, there’s nothing left for them to lose by lying to us anyway.

[solid galleon]

<@&509690795536941056> since the blueprints of GS-31 were added to the event shop, would be great also to get the ship parts from the ferengi token:)!

[slim shoal]

If spending $ to complete 10k tasks was way down, instead of nerfing things for players they could’ve just added a new 20k tier of tasks full of new $-only completable things. Maybe have them also reward a new currency that can buy something exclusive in the AT store.

Would leave the free-to-play accessibility in the AT store the same, while giving whales something to splurge on. Win-win.

Took me 30 seconds to think of this concept. Instead they chose a path that would obviously annoy the majority of their players, who were still annoyed from last week’s fiasco.

Then they have the audacity to act all shocked Pikachu-faced when the players saw the ‘rebalancing’ and were upset. “Oh, we’re sorry! Didn’t realize this obvious nerf and $-grab would upset you all!” 🙄 My eyes can only roll so far back…

[urban verge]

Genuinely id love what ever there smoking. They made several alliance tournament tasks 3-5 times more expensive to finish and added nothing to make the reward better. Truly crazy behavior I wish I could get paid to make such bad decisions lol. They want to talk a out fairness? The fair thing to do would be to instantly revert them back to the original prices since the rewards stayed the same anyway. 3 million syndicate points for one task lololololol.

It went from being 250k syndicate points for a task to 3 million. Same reward though just many times more cost. Over 6k uncommon g6 materials now just for one task. Still the same reward though just way harder to finish. Surely this will get more people doing AT. Insane.

[honest flicker]

If you remember, a couple ATs ago they wanted to end the choice rewards purchase window so we couldn't use choice rewards to easily do the materials tasks. Players responded to that predictably and they have clearly scrapped that idea. So, the next idea, which they are trialing right now, is to increase the amount you need to get to complete the task.

[brave drum]

If there were already spenders in the game willing to fork out, why not just add packs that people find valuable? Remember when they offered three low priority primes for like $50? Everyone I know snagged those. No one wants to feel forced to spend money, they want to spend money because they feel they’re getting value from it.

[tidal notch]

That sounds reasonable to me.

[unborn raptor]

This undocking is ridiculous. Click on a ship, and it unlocks a different ship from the Outpost? The notice is pointless, other than to rub it in your interface is terrible. Tired of clicking 5 or 6 times on the same ship to get it to work right.

[azure cosmos]

Well I've officially hit my limit with this jacked up game. Constant issues, going unfixed, constant maintenance because they don't know how to launch anything without serious issues. Now the ridiculous increase to pay to win tournament. Forcing people to purchase $100 packs to complete 10,000 point events. Absolutely ridiculous. I am now a FTP player from here on out. I will never spend another cent on this game. If this behavior continues I'll take me and my friends and leave the game. You're already losing people at record numbers, I guess you figure pushing pay to play on every event won't push others away. You guys need your head checked.

[mossy acorn]

Thank you for the Comp chest 🙏

Has any thought or consideration gone into rebalancing the Syndicate chests in Emergency Field Rations and Multiphasics?

Outposts are generally frustrating. There is not enough systems, especially for 51, where most of the server is playing. It’s luck of the draw to find an open node to start one. Please add more as it seems very difficult to participate in outposts.

[bleak mist]

Your tournament sucks there’s not enough tasks that we can do

[urban verge]

It feels as though the people in charge of changing stuff are looking at everything the wrong way. Instead of going back and making old features better you're looking for ways to get more money out of them. You made Alliance Tournament harder without giving any new rewards or raising the level of the emerald chain. You are actively going back through the previously made systems of the game looking for ways to nickel and dime people instead of trying to make things better.

Is this what we can expect for any other changes to older systems? No new benefits and only making it harder to encourage people to spend $?

[hushed rock]

Tired of this game. Work to improve my game level only to have the game designers to remove a feature that is now required “money to buy.”

[fast anvil]

I think for revenant refinery, once the player unlocks the MK4 refit it should completely remove G5 G4 and maybe G3(idk if there's G3 in there) from the mats pool. as a g6 player I don't need 5k unc mats everytime I open the mats refine and only get 300 or smt g6 unc mats. don't even mention the rare g6 and non existent epic g6 mats

[acoustic geyser]

Please don't do this, I have a lot of research to catchup on

[fast anvil]

U can't even hit MK4 till g6 lol

[smoky lichen]

Give us the ability to set WD to Alliance only, sick of having to boot randos

[sullen lodge]

Too many chasers permanently stuck outside the boundaries and consequently not enough hostiles inside the system. Every time you do maintenance, please just reset all of the hostiles.

[jolly geyser]

Hate to say it, they don’t care. It’s milk it for all it’s worth, then shut the game down when they can’t get anymore money.

[storm oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/fixed-gif-14953349

FIX YOUR FLIPPING LAG! can't do a wave at all as hostiles arent even spawning and just wasted a solo start because of it

[raven blade]

<@&509690795536941056> I'm a G5 player beginning to go G6 with my archive maxed out and decided I wanted to build another Talios. Because I maxed out my archive it won't give me the parts I need to upgrade my Talios. The archive system needs a complete rework especially if it's going to shut down your refineries after you Max one out. Refinery specific parts become non-existent when you take away the ability to claim them. Not everyone wants only one of a certain ship.

[placid rain]

The drip of sigma faction credits in G7 is FAR too slow and too measly when you do get them (even when you get past 9T and can get a few more from scout messages and converting normal faction creds). Please address.

[uneven lodge]

With the GS31 being in this past event store with half unlock, will there be a half unlock pack being released for those interested in buying the other half? (Soz is wrong place to ask)

[vale wasp]

Only one set of warp parts is available for free. The archives didn't remove anything from the regular refinery that it didn't replace.

[slender monolith]

Even if it went somewhere else, it would be shut down while new licensees wrote a new game, and never return, because new people means entirely new game.

[lunar ocean]

<@&509690795536941056> Are there plans on fixing this? It would be nice for your database to, you know, HAVE DATA

[lunar ocean]

Just get the other half next month instead of giving them money.

[merry comet]

I've experienced the same. does it populate after a few seconds? for some reason the Ships database is the only one that doesn't instantly load for me

[lunar ocean]

You could never get more warp drives for free. You either buy them or get them in the Feringi store. I

[lapis ether]

some servers have a council to vote on rules, it's turning into the SPANISH INQUISITION this game, really.

[hollow pike]

Server councils have nothing to do with the actual game

[merry comet]

I like RoE, but if it's becoming too restrictive, just go rogue. they can't force you to follow RoE

[lapis ether]

lol, I'm afraid to go rogue, Im only level 24

[merry comet]

24 is actually a pretty decent level to do it. the ranges for pvp only grow as you go higher ops, but at 24 only ops 36 and lower can smack you

[lapis ether]

ROE is about good manners, as I understand it, not forcing a way to play. Councils are not needed at all, I think.

[hollow pike]

Find or form an alliance of like-minded players and play as you want to. The only real limits on your gameplay are what the game itself does or does not allow.

[lapis ether]

Is it possible to move server?

[merry comet]

not at your ops, unfortunately. I forget the limit, but it's somewhere between 10 and 15

[somber orchid]

12 on old servers 9 on the newer ones I believe

[opal crane]

Hey <@&509690795536941056> can you let us know how Scopely intends to punish us for this protest against the anti-player actions Scopely has taken during this Alliance Tournament? Every time we push back, there's always a hit coming. Is the 7th anniversary cancelled? Do we have to buy a pack to celebrate?

I can't imagine someone wanting to give Scopely money because they said they would 'think about it' on a 'change' and not a clear commitment to a full reversal. The rewards are already insanely skewed towards P2W whales, pushing the scale even further under the guise of 'rebalancing' is a complete and total lie. The game was never balanced, so what you should be focused on doing is making the game as equitable as possible. Same as the DTI Store. Same as every time you've said 'rebalancing'. Do you really want another DTI Store debacle on your hands?

Here's some suggestions of how you could 'balance' alliance tournaments.

1. Start adding Alliance Tournament Credits to all tasks. It doesn't have to be a ton, but have it scale accordingly. This was an anti-PooR tactic from the get go and should have been rightfully protested then. Stop punishing F2P by making them do more work and less pay.
2. Roll back the Syndicate and Material acquisition required amounts.
3. Add G3, G4, and G5, have it be scaled to the same number of Choice Rewards/Multiphasic pulls for those ops. This falls back to Scopely taking insult to people playing the game their way and choosing to not spend.
4. If Scopely is going to have a 'player council' then Scopely should actually listen to them. Any player on that council that said "this sounds good" has no business being on that council.
5. There's no reason that so many of the rewards need to be locked behind 'Master' rank. Command badges? Seriously? What lunacy are you on?

Respectfully, of course.

[raven blade]

Then why can't I get the warp module for my second Talios? My first one is maxed out. It's not like I haven't met the requirements.

Where do we get them then? There not in store

[vale wasp]

You used the first set from the refinery already. There is no free second set.

I think it used to be available in event stores, but the ferengi one has replaced it and it just doesn't have the same selection.

[raven blade]

Dumb... why try to progress when they limit your ability to enjoy what you do?

[opal crane]

Because Scopely doesn't care what you enjoy. There's probably a pack for a hundred bucks to get a second warp core. This is the Scopely way.

[vale wasp]

They don't sell it either.

[opal crane]

I did say 'probably'.

[vale wasp]

It's just not a ship you're supposed to build 2 of.

[raven blade]

They should create a list of " wo o ly allow one of these " ships.

We only*

[opal crane]

But you're not not supposed to. If you weren't, then they wouldn't have given us the option.

[idle skiff]

So stop with the Bps once one is acquired...We're really not mindreaders

[opal crane]

Same reason Scopely got rid of the old Event Store. Because they hate their players and we enjoyed it. We all looked forward to it.

I miss JessAtreides. She didn't just try and force feed us bogus, lame answers. She was a bamf. She didn't just read the script, but tried her best to be understanding and supportive of the community. #BringBackJessPaid!

I'm sure Cand1e is going to be quick fire on muting me though.

[vale wasp]

I'd rather they change it so there is sourcing for the warp parts. It's not a ship that should be limited, it's too generic and scales poorly with more than one.

[wild hearth]

• Syndicate XP tasks updated to:
  Tiers 55+: 800,000 XP (up from 225k)
  Tiers 1–54: 400,000 XP (up from 225k)

Fixed that for you

[fluid mist]

it's not a great result but still much better than what they originally put it up to and called it rebalancing

[lofty musk]

<@&509690795536941056> so you’re only changing G6 mat requirements and syndicate xp and not the reduced brackets for promoting and relegating that you arbitrarily changed for no reason other than to make tournament more annoying and difficult to advance

[opal crane]

Putting the tasks back to how they were, costs them nothing. Increasing the amounts is punishing players for not spending. Don't give them an inch.

[solemn ice]

Big ass deal you guys lower the 6* requirements for obtaining resources 2 days after the tournament starts and I have already spent most of my resource tokens! Day Late, Dollar Short!

[narrow scarab]

What’s Changing:
• G6 Acquire Uncommon Materials task reduced to 3,300
• Syndicate XP tasks updated to:
Tiers 55+: 800,000 XP (down from 3M)
Tiers 1–54: 400,000 XP (down from 1M)

still total bs why should the G56 and syndicate tasks be increased at all? thats just punishing us fpor neing good at the game or planning ahead. Still they ignore the stupid amount you need for the G4 and G5 versions of those tasks, G4 its acquire 53k and G5 is 28k both of those mean they need to open the choice reward chest 10 times (for the 100 points chest) less on the crystal cuz that gives more per pull but its still a stupid amount scopley showing all that matters to them again the money. I played this since day 1 and the change in their attitude over the yrs is disgusting, i dont play now cuz of the game its more to do with the people ion the game and they way we have kinda banded together against scopley now. They throuw out certain events like pvp and instead of fuighting we trade kills or help grind for smaller players who would struggle else its almost like fighting a king that is clueless

[wild hearth]

there was no need to touch them at all. they called it rebalancing, but it's really "give us more money". the only balance involved is a bank balance

[cedar narwhal]

<@&509690795536941056> So the G6 tasks are adjusted, but what about the G5 and G4 tasks? They're also way too difficult. For example, if I've saved all my chips, I can only do this task once

[burnt drum]

jeez-syndicate task still too high. Do the devs even play the game?

[crisp sinew]

<@&509690795536941056> what is making the game difficult almost near impossible for me to go on lvl 44 ops here is the events and solo events have become impossible to finish because of the high points. Events need overhauled completely because as a F2P I simply cannot just go and buy things I need for ships and that brings me to my next issue upgrading ships such as NSEA is next to near impossible for F2P. The game isn't balanced at all honestly

[opal crane]

This. They did this same thing with the DTI store, to be anti-player and to punish us. Hold Scopely accountable. The community is tired of being lied to. Tired of being treated as a hostile entity against the company instead of the people that keep their lights on. What an absolute joke.

[rigid glacier]

My first time.doing the G6 tasks and I had to use every choice rewards credit on only 3 tasks

[crisp sinew]

They use their infamous catch phrase to justify not telling the truth "Subject to change" is their excuse all the time this is coming from a 12 yr scopely game player

[languid tinsel]

i guess it could be called inflation 🤣 jk

[cedar narwhal]

But i would spend all choice reward credits on 1 task

[rigid glacier]

Before the change it was x3 double pull on the larger choices to complete the task, I had to do 6 pulls per task so went through double the amount of choice rewards

[crisp sinew]

Alliance tournaments are a way of scopely secretly telling players that cant do the tasks you can sit this out and miss the rewards I have not been able to participate duento the extreme difficulty of tasks like <@&509690795536941056> here's a task idea spend 200 regular armada credits thats doable not spend 1000 Epic armada credits

Stop thinking of money and start thinking about the players

Or another task idea Mine 200k G4 materials

Make tasks easier not extremely difficult

I mean whats so special about alliance tourney that you have to choke the fun out of F2P

[sand sun]

<@&509690795536941056> 1st: u pushed the achievements higher for the most used tasks in ATs..... why? Greed?
2nd: you react to ppls screams about and give out some extra Tokens to get more res/mats to spend, so couple of ppl could at least finish some of the tasks... as an apology for the circumstances 🤣
And now after most players spend even this high amount tasks and the additional given Tokens, u going to lower the amounts again.... thats like 2 face hits in a row and now u doing the finishing move with this to fed up us again???
Think its time to overthrow your thoughts about us being stupid as heck 🔥

[crisp sinew]

In all honesty the devs need to overhaul the game completely events for me are impossible to finish so that makes me think why even play anymore when the first 2 or 3 milestones alone are hard to impossible to get. Lvl 44 ops and im given events with those in lvl 50 to 60 ops and that isn't right at all

[woeful bison]

Absolute joke of an amendment honestly don’t get a 💩 about your player base at all only care on how you can manipulate people to spend to actually play and enjoy the game

[crisp sinew]

<@&509690795536941056> please dont test me i am an experienced beta tester of 20 yrs and the game entirety is screwed so badly players dont complete events, alliance tourney is a joke, events not truly matched to a players lvl

I can go on and on how bad the game is screwed up

[zinc terrace]

#⭐-official-announcements message

this not good enough. The syndicate task is still not free to play. The choice tokens are eventually going away. There is no trade here. Only removing things from us.

[opal crane]

I want to reiterate to the community... Accepting this is the playerbase taking an L. We are losing. 150 tokens was their bribery to get us to close our mouths and say 'thank you'. They knew these changes would not be well received, they budgeted for it, and knew they would roll it back with the expectation that we would accept it like this is a win. This is not a win. We are still taking a loss. Don't let them off the hook. We have the power. We have what they want. Time to remind them of that. Make them bark like they want it.

[last nymph]

No. They have no clue what the economy of their game is.

[crisp sinew]

Case and point they obviously dont know how truly difficult it is for a F2P to upgrade ships like NSEA

I spent like 1 hour mining stuff for those spheres got like 1000 which isn't enough for 1 upgrade like wth

Scopely its a game not a full time job

[elder spear]

I hear people get muted on here for suggesting to watch spending untill game is in better shape again. I for one know that my nr1 alliance of the server has cut down spending a whole lot. Barely see any chests from purchases since AT gone live.
Maybe fix alot before adding new stuff would be a VERY good thing to get people to spend ans enjoy the game a bit more again.

[copper tartan]

Do you truly think that we’ll be happy with the new updated task levels? Scopley has truly lost the lead and has no idea what they’re doing. Every day you set the bar lower and lower. Pretty sure you need to update your HQ address to the 4th circle from Dante’s inferno. At least we’re neighbors since I’m in the fifth circle right now

[wide cloak]

Up until these AT changes, I had been actively trying to get my alliances heaviest spenders that have let their accounts stick at 70 to become more active in game. At this point, I see no reason to push them to come back to the game. The game devs and Connor have proven they will not listen to the player base and if they make a mistake, they try to mitigate and obfuscate instead of reverting to what was working. The game has been slowly burning itself out through poor design choices and chasing additional revenue... it's time to let it die. You'll get more money from launching STFC2 than you will get off of continuing to dribble the recent content to keep the game alive.

[haughty charm]

New player here i exited the game right at picking alliance by mistake now i am stuck on this screen.. On Pc don't have a clue on my playerid just started

[balmy iris]

I hope you understand these emergency changes won’t help you. You need to stop with the asset exploitation style in the first place. Because very few people want to give money to a company they despise. So don’t send us Connor or more talk, help us have fun with a working game.

[narrow scarab]

most of them dont even bek never bplayed before she worked for them, or if she did she was at a really low lvl, thats the problem they have theres nobody there that acually cares about the game mor cares about trek at all otherwise they wouldnt have put galaxy quest in it or mess with the lore so much. Lets face it trek has so much stuff they could use for things theres no need to make random stuff up. When they put galaxy quest in star trek should have been removed from the name from that point on it wasnt trek at all. I do love the film its so funny and i know Patrick Stewart is a fan of it but thats no reason to add it that was all about cash, they could have put it in without it being in the main game and made a side game of it where we could choose to go through to a different galaxy and play a similar game with Quest setting. When that bs came out we were in the mirror universe arcs so using something like mirror sisko and his ship and crew would have been really good but no scopley dont care about the players anymore and i still maintain they are trying to shut the game down by putting out poor choices to get the player base low enough that it isnt viable to carry it on

[narrow scarab]

couldnt agree more, i started with the beta test when they actually seemed top care about the player base but over the yrs they have just decided its more important to have the cash than the happy players but not understanding if players arent happy they stop playing and they lose moneuy

[storm oracle]

Wow changed it and its still bad 🔔 ends

[cyan isle]

People are just going to quit the game. Because they’re being jerked around

[weak grove]

<@&509690795536941056> please tell whoever came up with that "adjustment" to 400k/800k, it does not matter. it's not doable f2p and it's taking away from players who planned well and played much to be able to do the syndicate quest. if it's 800k now or 3M or 20M does not matter, it's still not doable f2p more than maybe once, so the change is worth nothing.

[raven blade]

I agree entirely. I am ops 59 and completely underpowered. I have been stuck for 3 months trying to get enough mats to upgrade all the station modules to progress, and my ships are stuck because they need all the same materials and the refinery pay out is 💩. The one refinery that could help is the revenant refinery and I can no longer afford the cost of the turn-ins.

It costs me 6.7 mil borg loot, and I get around 3000 per armada

[crisp sinew]

Overhaul the game <@&509690795536941056> game need an overall change and events much easier to complete shouldn't be a full time job to get just 2 milestones of 1 event

[crisp sinew]

Even the mat refinery sucks

[sudden folio]

can we get more rerolls for tourny or can u fix the system? spent 44 rerolls just for the same paid tasks to come up

[crisp sinew]

Most times you dont get what you need anyways

[raven blade]

Right. 165 rare mats per collect at ops 59. Modules require 5-10k each.

[mellow loom]

Is it just a compulsion that $copely can't seem to coordinate the time for events? I thought with the time change we would see some more lining up but no, they went and made sure that some events still end an hour earlier for no clear reason.

[raven blade]

I honestly think the scopely executive office is one fat dude just watching his bank account screen.

[storm oracle]

He seems to have enough Nd doesn't want to have more

[marsh ocean]

<@&509690795536941056> hows a g4 supposed to do that?

[raven blade]

Pray 4 it?

We have the sigma tasks too..... and not a single g6 player in our alliance. 🤣

[slender monolith]

Coordinating with other alliance members who can, or rerolling, but yea, it’s not wildly useful to see those at sub-G6

[raven blade]

I have mils of sigma rss and can't use them yet.

[urban verge]

So the alliance tournament changes still make it harder then it originally was and give no increased reward. This is so crazy to me you went back and instead of making alliance tournament better you made it worse. No new emerald chain and no better rewards for the increased difficulty. You literally went back and made an old event even worse. Please make it make sense.

Literally no one asked for harder alliance tournament tasks. Why you would make an event even worse is truly baffling to me. It's not going to make people spend more it's going to make them not do it all or worse quit the game.

[vast nest]

They made them harder because too many were being done f2p which means lost sales

[cyan isle]

They’re losing more sales by unhappy players. I’m one

[lime rose]

Im so tired of reading scopely sucks everywhere and they don't even care. Why on earth did I decide to spend money and time in this game and wait to reach ops 69 to give up on this very bad gaming company...

[vague grotto]

What about refunding some choice tokens for the over spend on the G6 materials AT missions yesterday ? what usually cost us 600 tokens cost 1200,

[runic patrol]

21 points a kill and you'll wonder why your game is losing players

[tidal notch]

Following up on this.

[valid bough]

this kind of event rly is kinda stupid. even with an outpost, this is quite some grind, rly one of those events making you question why you go through this anyway.

[runic patrol]

To mention, The Outpost function of every single one of these events never works

[runic patrol]

Followed up with what it's a poorly designed event. The Outpost function does not work. It never scores

[valid bough]

seems it was just tuned down quite a bit

Gotcha. Pinged ya

these changes still suck, #FreeAT's

[cosmic kiln]

How many times do I have to turn on “disable alliance armada notifications” for it to actually stick and stay disabled??

[remote mist]

Something is wrong with this picture

[sharp salmon]

800 thou Xp syndicate, LMAO 🤣. Funny as

Not for me I

[pure shore]

Argh 800k syndicate so still pay to win, and NO reduction in acquire mats for G7 players

[rare vale]

No reduction in acquire mats for anyone other than G6. The requirements for the G5 and lower grades are also still absurd.

[grand wind]

To make them only achievable via money

[unborn cove]

I just wanted to say that's for the comp chest. Them 15 November chests are amazing

[proven thicket]

hell I'm 56 and can't accomplish that. I'm a casher but nowhere near a whale. I cannot get sigma anything yet.

[mellow loom]

Do I understand this correctly? $copely gives out the currency to redeem this as part of the overflow...BUT you still can't use that currency unless you buy the pass?

[rare vale]

You nailed it. Why they did this makes no sense at all.

[vivid nebula]

They would be hoping fomo would make you buy the pass

[left whale]

Please replace the AI that wrote that latest blog post with someone who can provide clear details instead of meaningless jargon.

[north sentinel]

Outpost attacks should be every 1 minute not 5. Crazy.

[tidal notch]

Yeah shorter times between waves would be helpful.

[wild hearth]

"Always-on" Outposts are a good start, but that may not mean much given how overly ambiguous the rest of your announcement is. I'd like to say I'm cautiously optimistic, but even that's hard to attain given how often you've said something and then delivered something well below expectations (eg the current AT change and "adjustment" following player feedback, last month's "new items for the AT store" that all ended up gated behind Master league status)

[tranquil pelican]

What? Apac aint allowed to play? How can you design a mechanic that locks out apac? What was wrong with allowing f2p who achieved stndicate 55 a 10k task? We EARNED THAT RIGHT!!!, & now want to give the AMERICANS less than half & APAC NOTHING???🤷‍♂️ its unethical & immoral if not illegal to handicap one group over advantaging another... right? 🤷‍♂️what are you doing to APAC??? JUST PUT IT BACK TO ORIGINAL!!! R9LL IT BACK

[carmine marten]

@tidal notch Much gratitude to the decision makers for turning outposts into an always on feature. It is nice knowing we don’t need to worry about them disappearing. The blog detailing rationale and intent is also appreciated!

If minimum directive sourcing could also be the daily 300, that would also be quite welcome (of course anything additional would be nice)

Lastly, it would be nice if there was an option to change hostile frequency. 5 minutes if we want to utilize outpost buffs, or shorter duration if wanting to blitz through for loot and not keep our ships locked up.

[muted shuttle]

I guess you guys missed the feedback that outposts are 💩 with a ridiculous refinery, unless you spend on the building. But go pat yourselves on the back for a job well done🙄

[dusky yew]

This is 100% why player sentiment continues to fall.

The easy stuff you guys cant get right. At very least players should get directives replaced.

Making your customers feel not screwed after a broken feature which player understand is going to take time to fix is not a move that shows yall care at all. Please be better <@&509690795536941056> ... please direct at the appropriate people because this customer is extremely unsatisfied with your attempts to make us feel good about the future

[faint gate]

Scopely you’re missing the point. You release new content and forget about old.

1. Update AT and emerald chain. Give alliances who have finished something to do! It’s not hard!
2. Scale up the events. Make the rewards more valuable to keep enjoying current content.
3. Stop with the overloaded battle passes. Focus. Quality > quantity.
4. Reuse good mechanics. Like ship evolutions. It brings scrapping to the forefront and lets players use favorite ships that would otherwise stay maxed in space dock. Different firing patterns, ship abilities, it makes the game more dynamic and enjoyable. And it ensures that later in game players still pay attention to lower grade mats or the mats increase grade with evolution.
5. Officers , buildings, and ships released in an arc should be relevant to the arc. No connection between officers this arc to the arc content.

Do better scopely. Having more fun playing foundations: galactic frontier atm.

[turbid blade]

Also, will we ever see the Stella and the Mantis in the Archive?

[nova sierra]

<@&509691205798592532> <@&509690795536941056> I'm no developer but how hard would this be rather than consume chat with an extra drop down and utilize unused space?

[quiet peak]

Outposts are stupid, who want to not use 2 ships for 6 friggen hours the rewards are not worth it and now u pushing meta events around them? Absolute trash

I want to play the game not watch ships sit there and get attacked every 5 min

[mild sonnet]

Outposts suck and are unnecessary. Why use mats to upgrade buffs that just disappear when the outpost is done? It’s silly.

[nova sierra]

They changed the difficulty as well... where you could hit 56 before the smash your hull now... no changes to crew...

[carmine marten]

Outpost refinery has premium dust, this month officers (for those who care), some prime particles, hijacked skin refits, some less common building material… Very much necessary sourcing I wouldn’t want to see go away

[quiet peak]

One or 2 drops in a bucket dont help put out a fire

[mystic nimbus]

Ops 46, Just returned after 2+ years away. The reactivation event is cool but come on, that ain’t gonna help much 😂

[tidal notch]

Added a line to the blog: Players will continue to receive directives on a regular basis; the frequency has not yet been determined.

[kind vale]

Personally I wish that Outposts got the flashpoint treatment and got tossed in the trash. Losing 2 ships for 6.5-7 hours each run is ridiculous. I know the blogs says 6 hours, but that is just the countdown times. It doesn't take into account the time for the hostile to move to hit your ships or battle times or when outposts just hang up for a bit. I know speed ups are coming, but without a drastic improvement in the time required, this is still very poorly designed content IMO.

[dense belfry]

Outpost should just give a buff for X hours after capturing. Not locking up ships and giving 1 fight every 5 minuts.... its just some brainfart that got developed into a "special feature" somehow

[final plinth]

I appreciate the recent communication about AT and Outposts. I also appreciate that you did a semi backflip on materials task. While I'm not really dependent on that task, I'd like to see the G7 task being adjusted as well since G7 no longer as the ability to do the G6 task

[tranquil pelican]

Fleet command has me soooo angry ... i cant watch star trek without getting shirty...👀🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ thanks a bunch for souring that love

[dawn ice]

how does an event change in a potty game affect a tv show

[distant plaza]

<@&509690795536941056> Outhouses have really no incentive to get through all 72 waves. I think a reward box for completion or even stats bought from outhouse during should have a count down timer that lasts a few hours after completion of all 72 waves. The boxes that drop are so in frequent from the attacking hostiles every 5 minutes that those too are pointless. Adjustments are still needed.

[honest flicker]

I've seen a lot of recent bashing on the increased number of battle passes and treasuries. I get that we have enough screen and menu bloat to scroll past already, and battle pass screens add to that. However, more battle passes = more free stuff for everyone who is eligible for the pass, and more options for spenders to choose from while benefiting ftp players. Just don't buy the passes you don't want, and ignore the ones you don't see enough value for in the free track. For the treasury, it would be nice to have a dismiss option to remove the icon from the bloat on the main screen. Otherwise, more treasuries means more options for how and when to use your desealing rods (no virginity jokes here, please). Buy them if you want, or just skip the treasury. But seriously, <@&509690795536941056> it would be a lot better and probably make people a lot more tolerant of all the treasury runs if we could dismiss the treasury icon on the main screen to reduce the bloat in the UI. 👍

[tidal notch]

Agreed. I think having multple battle passes is a good thing because it means more free stuff. Esp if some of those bps overlap with the main bp events. But you raise a good point about finding a way to streamline or hide bps that you're not interested in.

[honest flicker]

And don't forget adding a way to dismiss the treasury icon off the main screen UI. Maybe letting it go away after we click through it once to see what is in it?

[hollow blaze]

The fact outpost loot exchange is in refinery from the beginning and not in event store tab means they planned way ahead to make it "always on", but now they just sell it like "we here you" feedback change.

[tranquil pelican]

Things are going great when you cant link a message to hammy🤷‍♂️👀 guessing APAC dont matter

[carmine marten]

I mean. Scopely has earned some doubt. But we also have actual events they’ve dropped the ball on - CoW, mega cube, sarris invasion, flashpoint. And even directive sourcing has a expiration*. So I think it’s entirely plausible they intended to turn outposts off and on at will.

Regardless, I’m happy for a confirmed always on.

[quiet peak]

If u like outhouses more power to u but dont force that Crap on me for meta event completion

[carmine marten]

So far metas have rewarded outpost related stuff, OR been based on events that are totally doable without outpost. Either way you can ignore or complete as desired 🙂 But I much prefer the option being there rather than forced removal for everyone

[river siren]

Serious Ham,
Would it be possible to add some pattern buffers to events so players can play the old missions in the hollow deck???

[muted shuttle]

You guys still got to work out the pinch points for the payback analysis. Gotta milk them cows.

[urban verge]

Interesting wording used for the outpost update. I hope you don't think you "evolved" the alliance tournament feature by making it harder and giving nothing in return lol.

[acoustic geyser]

Anyone get anything more than 1k from the tournaments gift? I feel like the odds are 99% 1k and 1% anything else

[vale wasp]

1x 3k, the rest 1k.

[left holly]

I am glad that you (Scopely) have decided to make Outpost an 'always on' feature. Having Outposts run at unknown intermittent intervals would have made upgrading the building and upgrading Outpost officers ( Nog and Hierarch) extremely difficult.

I would ask that you also look at reducing the costs to tier up Nog and The Hierarch. Taking Nog from T1 -> T2 costs 30k Retaliation Medals and 4k Retaliation Plunder. I have been consistently running Outposts (F2P), and still about 10k short on the Retaliation Medals. That is a really high cost for a low sourcing material.

[cyan isle]

When you have to launch a fix, to fix the fix. That was designed to fix the update that broke the game. Maybe reevaluating your strategy and skills might be a good game plan.

[verbal pulsar]

Where did the Stella and Talios Assimilated Skins go?!?! Hit 41 and they're no longer there in the Apex Store

[humble furnace]

No offence considering this has a built in refinery and building it should have been a day 1 feature

[humble furnace]

Check your refits section on ships, pretty sure they disapper from store once you collected all the shards

[errant brook]

They will keep us short on Outpost directives as announced to increase fomo. Not sure how much this will help

[hollow blaze]

When:

• Mak'ala's Crucible event?
• New loops in Independent Archives?
• End of boring new pvp officers?
• G5 scrapping?
• Normal event store, not this ferengi joke?
• Tier type spending event, instead of officer token type?

[slate bloom]

The alliance tournaments store..

Why does it show I have augment stuff, not store credits? Knowing I have a few million of tokens for augment that are of relevance to this store is ‘irrelevant!’ How many alliance tournament credits do I have?

[severe dust]

Still waiting for "more quality than quantity" promise......... <@&509690795536941056>

[keen loom]

Still waiting for waves to get fixed - after they just received “improved stability”.

Fix it or pull the feature - should be the way it is with every broken item.

[thorn nexus]

Scopley’s correction of events is a good thing.
The fact they did not understand the impact and their own game is a worry.
More problems have come since the promise to make things better.
Can we please relook at the commitment of quality over quantity that was made.

[fluid mist]

agreed but also when will we ever see new additions in the AI considering it was said quarterly updates and has never been changed to ummm when we feel like it rofl.

[errant brook]

<@&509690795536941056>

There is 0 motivation to

• do the exchange stuff 20 times for 1 officer
• remember what I got already
• Scrolling through with automatic reset which lead a few times to misclicks. and wasted res

[tawny pawn]

Use community mod, zoom out so the store is all on one page then it doesn’t move.
I know it’s not a fix, but works for me

[fiery lantern]

Also doesn’t work for mobile players,,,, fix things, do force work around because scopely is lazy and incompetent!

[tawny pawn]

Oh agree, but for some at least it takes away a little less annoyance

[fiery lantern]

Agreed

[keen loom]

How about Scopley shifts focus:

1. Stabilize and test all existing features.
2. Create meaningful, well thought out, TEAM focused hostiles that require large group coordination - and worthy rewards. Without adding additional spend requirements.

More than enough solo stuff do to - huge lack of meaningful team objectives as described above.

<@&509690795536941056>

[urban verge]

Would love to see the alliance tournament changes fully reversed. You went back and changed an old event making it worse. No new emerald chain levels. No new rewards for making it harder. You actively just went back and made an old event even worse to enjoy. You added nothing of value and made it worse. Truly insane.

You can't take time to fix older buggy content but have time to actively make them worse?

[tough saddle]

Every day I decline cookies and have to log in 2x to collect a key for event. Very frustrating. The fun continues logging in to the game. This buggy game manages to give us new bugs every downdate and somehow brings back old bugs. The creative team has gone on a holiday for a couple years because we're only getting rehashed 💩. The one thing that isn't rehashed is stealing stuff from bases. This was the most social the game had. Now that raiding is useless, we're all playing by ourselves. Give us something good to steal or protect and maybe make things as arena a fun thing to do. It's trash atm. Maybe a surrender button?.

[hoary saffron]

Cannot launch an armada while doing outpost??? A gnat demonstrates a better ability in using common sense when it comes to applying brain power.

The performance across this entire arc has been a joke, bug, after error after mistake. Useless not sure who develops these things but all seem incompetent. Today no syndicate event. Employees should get the sack for this level of 💩.

So , scopley , please explain why I’m not getting 7 year anniversary battleship special, I need battleship parts to go to tier 12 epic ship , you are doing this on purpose? . All I see is explorer or interceptor , are you forcing me to buy these , it’s not going to happen , ops 70 just about had enough

[left whale]

There is no assimilated talios skin and the assimilated Stella skin only shows once you've maxed a Stella. I'm not sure whether you need to keep it to see the bundle or if scrapping that Stella removes it though.

[verbal pulsar]

Stand Correctrd for the Vi'Dar, but the Assimilated skin for the Stella does exist. They vanished from the Events Store when I passed lvl 41 and its really annoying, as I was close to completing the collections.

[left whale]

That vidar skin is from the megacube event store.

The only thing I can think of for the Stella is that you had a maxed one and scrapped it but haven't maxed it all the way again. If that's not the case I'd contact support.

[verbal pulsar]

3 generations of Stella and the research to prove it

[quick gale]

No sms for recruitment?

[somber orchid]

Sure the skin will appear in event stores

[noble ridge]

I thought that Syndicate levels 54 and lower were supposed to get the 400k syndicate xp task?

[carmine yew]

Surely these rewards need some work. this is mine at Ops 63

This is 66

Any ops 69 able to share their rewards?

[fiery lantern]

Only if the same rewards can be obtained by a solo player or those in alliances with weird time differences and real non PC based jobs.

Not everyone wants to coordinate with 30 other people. I’d like to be able to play when I have time to play, not when scopely wants to dictate when I should play

[plucky gulch]

Is the COW event coming out this month ??

[fiery lantern]

We all hope so.

[tranquil pelican]

Syndicate task.. why deny APAC access? Why set it up so APAC cant do it?,? Why do you HATE APAC??? QHERE APAC'S SYNDICATE TASKS

[fiery lantern]

It’s 3 million, but if you want it you can have mine. I agree it should be same across the board. I just wish they had not jacked all the costs up so high they are useless now

[gentle ginkgo]

Feedback AT Tasks:
I like the new Mat spend tasks for the other Level Ranges
Syndicate XP Tasks - yeah ok

Rarity of some other task - horrendous
Defeat Borg/Dominion Epic Armadas are super rare...

Ops 70 rewards... give people material... You wonder why more people are not making the transition into G7

[tranquil pelican]

Where is APAC'S syndicate task? Why deny APAC syndicate task?

[burnt marsh]

What's the deal scoppely, why do the monthly chips, only have the regular speed ups, nothing for 6 star builds, whythe bias

[lyric ibex]

Bring back TAL to the officer pull !!!

[sly tree]

‘Updated scoring’ for CoW and faction hunt? I’d suggest you take a second or third look at that before release so it’s not like AT updated scoring.

[keen loom]

You mean “I’d suggest someone other than anyone employed by Scopley takes a look at it”

[idle skiff]

Yeah, l gotta be honest, l'm expecting it has been "balanced"...Expecting to have to do more for lower rewards! It's the Scopely way 😀

[wary tendon]

so i'm sure this has been said before <@&509690795536941056> but these numbers should be the same, regardless of what speed up route you take, and it should be the lesser of the 2 values

[dawn ice]

so u just want all those mats and rss for free then?

[wary tendon]

no, but the instant should cost the same lat as the speed up if done right away. So maybe i misunderstand it? If you do instant, does it use the mats?

[dawn ice]

instant uses lat for all mats n rss

[wary tendon]

okay, then i misunderstood. I thought the mats were used regardless

[muted shuttle]

Now your breaking COW and Faction hunt😂😂😂😂

[sharp nebula]

Boo on scopely for removing ship tier-up scoring!!

[warm field]

Bad lag on 53.

[chrome vortex]

@tidal notch am I reading this correctly? It says you remove tiering up ships in faction hunt... Did somebody ask for more grinding? It wasn't me. I don't know any players that want to do more grinding. If it weren't for my alliance, I wouldn't do the event.

[humble furnace]

whats your ops? at ops 65 my resource chest gives Sigma Speed ups they do exist

[urban verge]

LOL they are actively going back and making old events even worse. What is happening.

[tepid bramble]

Um…did I miss something? 🤨🤔. And no, I do not have any extra diodes. 🙄

[merry comet]

the missions are being rolled out one per week. we'll probably see the next one Monday or Tuesday

[gilded pivot]

@tepid bramble I have the same problem

[tepid bramble]

Didn’t we tell them last time they did that it was stupid?

Was this whole arc nothing but scopy folks sitting around saying to each other “hold my beer”?

[merry comet]

in fairness, they did tell us the mission cadence in one of the announcements, or maybe the blog post when the arc launched. you're right, though, it's dumb

[cursive vessel]

Did you guys undo the bugfix for the Kir'Shara artifact?

Also game crashes are way more frequent again ...

Weshalb habe ich den KP Überschuss nicht bekommen? Ich habe alle gelößt?

Schon mal das Spiel neu gestartet?

[high raven]

Ja. Da erste mal dass ich keine KP Überschuss Punkte bekommen hatte ist eine Woche her, der Support Antwortet nicht, natürlich.

Es ist nicht das erste mal.

Das läuft schon seit 2Monaten so.

Geld bekommen die von mir nicht mehr, KP, Arena und die vielen wechselnden BUGS.... Aber das mein KP seit 2 Monaten nicht voll wird hat sicher einen monetären Hintergrund.

[valid willow]

@vale wasp No one wants titles, it adds no power combat boost or anything that makes the game better. Please do not use titles as a reward they should be free to all players

[vale wasp]

But I want titles... that Lord of Cakes one looks incredible. 😂

[valid willow]

They will be used to dilute rewards, that are already poor

[vale wasp]

This about the overflow rewards? I think the title is replacing just a few officer shards at most.

[valid willow]

Look at the chat, the placement is rubbish, makes each message take up more of the screen, needs to placed next to the players name so it does not increase the scrolling to look at older messages. If your saying players have lost the opportunity to gain officer shards for titles, then look like another ripoff

[vale wasp]

I think concerns about the placement of the titles have been heard. I've seen our CMs comment on it already.

[valid willow]

Then please raise concerns about loss of officer shards

[hushed rock]

Feeling disappointed in this game. This is wasting a lot of my time to get small returns.

[vivid nebula]

I think scopely deliberately wants people to leave so they can justify putting the game in maintenance mode and slowly killing it off. Wouldn’t be surprised if 2026 if the last year

Why they wait. They can turn it off anytime.

Still some money to squeeze out people, when that drops then the end is coming

I’d expect it to be “game shutting down tomorrow, thanks for being here”

[acoustic geyser]

Can I get a skin for my Junker to change the look to the millenium falcon? That'd be great.

[warm hawk]

item description seems wrong over in the transogen refinery says building mat

[merry comet]

item description is the same. transogen refinery has been displaying the wrong info since its introduction

[acoustic geyser]

This should be high up on their list of issues to fix they like to fix wording bugs over real ones right?

[thin shard]

You got the brands mixed up.

This is a Star trek game, not a Star wars 😉

[acoustic geyser]

Is it? I thought this was a Galaxy Quest game

[thin shard]

...which is a parody on Star Trek and it's culture.

But I get your point now 👍😂

[acoustic geyser]

On that note. USS Callister when

[cunning oriole]

From a user experience point of view the ship parts converter is bad:

• you can only do one at a time
• there's no place that shows the amount of tokens you have
• each time you get a chest you return to the beginning and the list is long

True, what is the purpose in having a materials and parts refinery if you can't get anything out of them? I have the 5* prime materials refineries, (took 200+ days each to get) mined 6 million materials (another day), and got 6 epic 5* and 30 rare 5* materials for a 1.4million raw refine. I can't change a self sealing stembolt with that. It would take me 2 years of refining to improve 1 building at that rate. Worthless. Rework the rewards if you want us to play. We're more than just cash cows.

[thin shard]

What would be the purpose of having everything free and available for everyone in great quantities? What would be the challenge? And what would be the payment model, if there is no possibility to spend money to make the game easier?

I don't want this game to run ads every few minutes, so I'm ok with certain things being available only for money 🙏

[raven blade]

I imagine you have a thick wallet? I don't. I'm not completely f2p, but after a couple thousand on this digital garbage, I have very little to show for it.

I'm not asking for it to be free, I'm asking that if you have invested, that the rewards be a bit better. Seems like as the game goes on and your level gets higher, that the cost of materials goes up and your availability goes down at a significantly greater rate.

It's almost like they want us to stop playing at 50 and start over. They get more benefits now than we did.

[twin cliff]

Seriously, the 5* materials refinery is garbage, even with the prime to get an extra refine. The only real way to get mats is from events and especially ticketed events (which you must pay for to do more than 2 or 3 per run).

[raven blade]

Thank you. 'Nuff said.

[merry comet]

not to say that the Materials refinery doesn't need a serious overhaul, but I get plenty of mats from my Continuum refinery

[raven blade]

Yes, until the turn-ins become so expensive it takes all your tokens to earn one fabricator chip.

[merry comet]

true; the double-pulls of the solo and double/triple of the group are a bit expensive, but a mk2/mk3 ops-locked g5 revenant can do the lvl 60 0.2 solos, which is easily enough to do single pulls every day

[raven blade]

How. I can do 3 58's at best. I died o. The 60's

363 mil rev

[merry comet]

one sec, recalling so I can grab a screenshot of my crew

[raven blade]

Ty

It takes me 15 58's to get 6.7 mil loot

[merry comet]

this is what I use. keep in mind that with only the mk2 skin, I could do the 0.2s, but multiple of them needed the defiant buff

[raven blade]

I dont have mashed vael

Masrad

[merry comet]

could replace her with Odo, EE Troi, or even Tendi. you lose a bit of crit chance, but still doable

and you could swap 5 for Gwen DeMarco if you have her. she'll definitely help with punching up

[raven blade]

Ty, I'll try

[merry comet]

just remember to use defiant buff. it helps a bunch until you get the mk3 skin

[ripe gazelle]

Extra shots and loot are incredibly diluted from the mk2 skin and research, respectively.

Using a punchup rig vs higher solos would yield more than compromising on lower with a loot rig.

[raven blade]

I have the mkIII. IM REALLY weak. Lol.

Lol. I still went pop.

With cerritos, titan, and defiant buffs. 😆

[mild thicket]

Can we please get some of the older loops added to the IA, remove their refineries once archived and make room for new content?

• Discovery, Stella, Mantis, Cerritos, Titan

[errant brook]

<@&509690795536941056>

5 times lowest rewards = not even enough for 1 epic officer shard.

I feel more cheated than gifted.

[elder pollen]

Please at least give us the option to not display player titles in alliance chat! It’s so hard to read what players are saying because of the titles — which add absolutely nothing to chat

[thin shard]

Yeah, but wasn't it always like that?

Top generation (g7 now) starts with heavy paywalls.
Previous generation (g6) opens more to f2p, but still easier with paying.
All lower generations get massive boosts to push players closer to paying areas.
(E.g. G4 refines are at 9+ chests)

As to my spending, I'm either trying to find long(er) term values...
...or I just buy some BP to keep the game running - like buying a coffee for newspaper article, that I liked

[remote flume]

Can I just say how stupid titles look in chat? Who approved this terrible UI?

[opaque raft]

Why a slow modus is activated on suggestions and bug channels? Scopely not hiding anymore they dont like feedback?
Its been mainly ignored anyway…

[quiet peak]

Can we pls have a setting so I can turn off the titles, takes way too much space on my screen

[rare vale]

One of the single dumbest additions to this game... not to mention, the time spent adding this could've been used to fix a bug or add a QOL improvement.

[solar sun]

LOL.... I guess this is way more important than fixing the game...... Players might spend more if the game wasn't broken.... just a thought

[molten shell]

Get this crud off of my screen.

[ebon jackal]

The tickets do save, so you can do the full ticketed event set after a few times of saving. This is similar to the treasury, you can buy it every time, or save it up and use the f2p option occasionally.

[twin cliff]

Yeah I know that. I was mostly just replying in agreement with the person posting about how meager the refined 5* material payouts are.

[brittle reef]

This is a new low. Why would I need another queue, when I don't even need 2, because I speed up every research at my level? And even if, put it in the store, where it belongs.

[opaque raft]

After 7 years, scopely presents us with a most generous gift….
We all know chances the game will make it to an 8th anniversary are very small, looking at the ever increasing instability, massive increase in bugs and ever diminishing bug fixes. This would be a good laugh, if it werent so deeply sad

[lyric otter]

how do i make the advert for the 2nd research go away?

[brittle reef]

You quit the game, as should everybody

[opaque raft]

Buy it. Scopely will not remove it. Ever.
They have joy in annoying their customers

[flint mauve]

I don't quite understand what it is. And whether it's available to me or not. The special icons are lit, but I can't get anything from there. Is this a purchase that is prohibited for us?

[brittle reef]

Don't click it. They're trying to sell you useless stuff.

[ebon jackal]

They expect players to source the materials and parts from more than just the standard materials and parts refinery - factions, specialty loops, events, and of course the store if you want more.

If they increase the refinery, they might choose to balance the total income available f2p by taking it away from something else. Also, they do want players to be motivated to participate in events and specialty loops, increasing the refinery does not meet that goal.

The player can also balance their usage by working on efficiencies and being selective with ships, buildings, and research.

I also agree the refinery does not produce a lot on its own, but there are reasons why it does not. Honestly I do not see the benefit of making passive materials mining a larger portion of game time than it is. It is not a fun activity for me, though I do understand I am not every player.

Edit: apologies as I am not trying to be argumentative, but provide information and my own feedback on the matter.

[opaque raft]

<@&509690795536941056>
When will this screen cluttering ingame add for an extra research queue disapear again?
Its highly irritating!

[flint mauve]

It's difficult for us to do this. Sanctions prevent us from making purchases in games. Western governments are concerned about our wallets and do not allow Western companies that sell digital products to be associated with us.😂

[twin cliff]

Bro…I’m aware of all of that. I’m simply talking about the difference in G5 refined material payouts, in comparison to G4 and G3. The payouts are a fraction of what you get from the previous grades. Not to mention, my initial reply was saying the same thing, that refinery really isn’t the primary source of refined mats. Also, passive mining isn’t the only way to acquire raw materials. You can steal them from OPC player ships, you can get them from faction stores, you can get them from Away Teams missions, etc. Not really seeing why you’d have thought I wasn’t aware of any of this.

[median gyro]

Alliance Tournament is difficult. There was a glitch so that I couldn't even tell where I stood, or that I was being demoted when it was over.

But otherwise, the tasks are either impossible or too much of a time sink.

In three days, I didn't accomplish a single task. And when killing foes 6 levels above me only inches progress forth, and I have to go back and repair every 5 foes, then it's not a feasible way to spend my limited time.

[opaque raft]

If scopely want to motivate players to engage in loops and such, they should stop with adding new loops and content every month. There is no fun in the game when there are so many loops to do.
I know, their only aim is to empty our cc’s, but just a little bit of respect for the player base would be something. Being tonedeath to the community and saying they listen at the same time feels more and more insulting every month

[carmine yew]

Syndicate XP still sucked, bring back the old goal

[flint mauve]

But you can just stay at a certain level and increase the power of your ships. This is how it works. This is what people do to make their lives easier in the game. The power of your ships at your level is more important than their overall power. This is why there are restrictions on the level of attack in PvP.

[light quarry]

also have to be strategic when choosingtasks

like, I can't reach the lvl 40 borg probe system at ops 37, so I don't pick that one

for hostile tasks, don't ever pick one where you can't do the +21

[ebon jackal]

I also agree with that. "Old content" is new to me, as a newer player, so for me it's kind of 'do everything, all at once'.

The IA was supposed to help with "loop overload" except it doesn't always work like that, and it could use some new additions.

Edit: here's also another idea: add something to the newest loop/content that directly assists with completing the previous one. Examples: outposts directly assisting with completing aggregation. Like maybe the building combo should have had a few recon locus schematics. Therefore, players doing the most recent content, get the most benefits.

[flint mauve]

I like the fact that there are a lot of events in this game. I don't understand players who complain about it. You're not forced to complete them all or buy every pass. There's always something to do in the game. And the rewards for completing events or passes are always enjoyable.

[dull canopy]

that "special" offer for a 3 research place is annoying, I wont buy it, so please make it possible to click it out of my sight
