[strong vale]

They also need to reduce the franklin difficulty, it takes many months to max it and get the archive, killing 50 swarm a day nearly caused me to give up the game, i can't be the only one.

[jaunty hinge]

everyone else gets Vger Orions for content remember

[flint river]

that's exactly my point. Without content not many will reach 71

[unreal saddle]

Ops 71 needed

[ivory rain]

Everyone can reach 71, I don't understand the problem...
If you don't have the money, you just have to take it slow...

[latent timber]

Tell that to the non ascendet servers🤣

[tawdry plank]

And when you finally reach ops 71, the devs have moved on to ops 80 as thats where the whales will be by then

[flint river]

alright I can see already that you don;'t understand the problem..

[ornate night]

Lower ops players have plenty of content. There is no need to add more.

[quick flume]

Exactly

[ornate night]

G4 infact has too much content.

There are too many loops and new ships added in G4. Players often feel overwhelmed when entering G4 and they dont have the time to engage in all of it.

[quick flume]

There is a difference between events and new content, g7 needs new content the rest not

[sage wadi]

There is no problem... For mid month update usually we get 2 or 3 primes and that's all. At least we got something that is not a paid thing.

[ivory rain]

G6 isn't currently being made cheaper to become G7, which I think is right... it can't be that those who spend money pay for everything and the free-to-play players then get everything handed to them on a silver platter.

[ornate night]

G6 was made cheaper. Augment faction store added efficiencies.

[quick flume]

More and more ftp reach g7 allready that proves lower levels have more then enough content

[naive quest]

🤮

[quick flume]

The releases as by example MACO is an example scopely is improving with assisting lower midlevels to make progress and im sure more will follow

Adding more content will only make the progress part more difficult and confusing, since there are allready so many specialty ships, buildings, researches, refineries and factions

[quick cove]

The name of the game should be changed to Star Trek Maintenance Command.

[umbral silo]

Yay another update, that means scopely is gifting us more lag. I’m so excited for the game to not work, words cannot express how I feel.

[serene dragon]

Even Maintenance now has the 30-45 minute Lag. 🤣🤣🤣

[serene dragon]

Except the final days SLB did not get added to the RLB, meaning everything spent & effort put in that day wast basically a waste.

[signal raft]

Still in maintenance? does that mean we are getting new packs???

[rough thorn]

nah.. new bugs

[signal raft]

45 minutes extended maintenance plus 2 hour+ delay on scoring so should get a little bit of game play before the evening lag kicks in and breaks all the scoring again

[quick flume]

You forget the unplanned maintenance to fix maintenance wich will follow after maintenance

[latent timber]

Lol they needed extra time to screw up more things

[signal raft]

yeah but there's usually a week or so lag on them getting around to fixing things that aren't the store

[quick flume]

That must be simultaneously with the other permanent lag we have then

[heady knoll]

so will todays maintenance be fixed before terri takeovers start or will those be extended also

[quick flume]

U probably can guess the right answer

[signal raft]

I mean to be fair the maintenance was already lagged by a day and now has been extended. they're getting real good at this lag game

[sour grove]

https://tenor.com/view/movie-one-eternity-later-gif-7900643

[quick flume]

Btw you also forgot the re visiting lag and bufs we always get with alliance tournaments

[acoustic geyser]

https://tenor.com/bGtaD.gif

[maiden steeple]

ill say it again Stop ALL new Arc's untill the game is overhauled and playable again to the point we can enjoy it slapping new code ontop of broken code is not going to fix it it needs stripped to its core and rebuilt

[signal raft]

oh yeah that'll get the lag started earlier! forgot they were running today to be fair

[heady knoll]

yeah guess we be lucky if we have time to get any stuff done before late reset

[ivory rain]

We know it's going to be another disaster... because they'll never get it right... and that's exactly why so many players are just fed up.

[hollow sinew]

Scopely forgot to include new Exocomp "50% LAG Mitigation"

[quick flume]

After the new exclusive pack 100 euro 8hr lagfree gaming

[signal raft]

50% of base....and that's a to tier prime that is good buddy

[signal raft]

that's called sleep!

[stone roost]

Why has this been randomly changed to 20 seconds? The game takes up enough time as it is without armadas suddenly taking an extra 15 seconds for no reason I can think of? Like I could understand if it was possible for them to go over 100 rounds so it's stretched to 20 seconds to allow for what is technically up to 4 "goes" of combat topping out at 400 rounds but it's limited to 20 rounds???

[quick flume]

Think you are confusing seconds with rounds

[stone roost]

I'm trying to work out why the combat lasts 20 seconds not 5

[quick flume]

Agreed not very clearly put

[signal raft]

built in lag

[quick flume]

I am curious how open armadas go, i can imagine rouges terrorizing the joiners just for fun 😜

[tranquil grail]

id be SO fired for this lol HOW

I dont think they realize big numbers = big math = need optimization

[stone roost]

Gonna be interesting, we're at war with another alliance at the moment, I feel like sabotaging an open armada isn't going to make you popular in the veil either

[tropic crown]

Dear god what are they breaking now?

[acoustic geyser]

Where do I find the kick button? Should be available for armadas no?

[tranquil grail]

here you go Scopely:
https://share.google/aimode/2fiuLVxHl6DCaaeCC

[acoustic geyser]

@raw fiber Do you know the answer sir?

[fluid mist]

I heard about that pack it only works 8hrs at a time though so if the player doesn't want lag its 300$ a day I'm surprised scopley honestly hasn't done it yet after all they like money

[gentle hill]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-hello-im-waiting-bored-gif-12851933

[quick flume]

No kick button exist

[signal raft]

you just have to kick them from the alliance 😄

[acoustic geyser]

Well that's one way to do it

[humble hornet]

Isn't kick for the g7 open armadas only?

[acoustic geyser]

In all seriousness there was supposed to be a kick feature but it doesn't appear to exist unless it was open armadas only

[grave hawk]

You guys don't have to worry, scopely has thought of everything.

[quick flume]

Every person in the veil can join not just your alliance

[tranquil grail]

liteally all of this is a number crunch issue. let's get it together this has been happening in games for decades

[stone roost]

I meant blowing up the person who started it like 60 seconds before the armada starts

[signal raft]

Well in that case a kick button is definitely needed. probably will cost us though

[acoustic geyser]

still want one for regular (sub g6) armadas

and xindi

[quick flume]

I predict lots of issues as every multi person content (arenas, waves, armadas, formadadas) all started in pain and most still are

[acoustic geyser]

oh god the number of times a vengeance has stolen my xindi loot

[quick flume]

Game ip

Up

[signal raft]

They will probably add it for solos and not group

[acoustic geyser]

why do you want to kick yourself from solos?

[signal raft]

because its the kinda thing Scopely would implement rather than what is actually needed

[serene dragon]

Golden Shield activated........ From the original estimated end of maintenance, not from the actual end. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[signal raft]

I think they just kept the game offline until the scoring started working

[haughty sail]

aaaaand refinery and faction store pulls back to not giving anything but taking resources

Slow clap scopely, slow clap 👏

[gaunt marsh]

claims delayed still, wth was the point in maintenance if the problem still persists...

[rose ruin]

Very significant delays in the gift section and the faction shop.

[karmic sandal]

any codes ?

[buoyant yoke]

so we got the collection lag back. well done Scopely, well done

[regal raven]

Still won't let me log in

[verbal shale]

To add in more stuff to force you to spend money, not to make the game more playable ... That's just dumb

[graceful cedar]

Says game still in maintenance

[little fox]

When patching breaks more than it fixes ...... 😄

[regal raven]

Server went down 3 and a half hours ago

[sleek heart]

Abrufen der Container bringt nichts. Man bekommt keine Belohnung!

[dense fog]

@tidal notch gift section, faction shop, game lag, massive delays , the game is worse than before maintenance, eu 400

[little fox]

Its not lag ... its a feature - you need the £99.99 Anti Lag pack from the store 😛

[graceful cedar]

Okay, this is ridiculous. 3 1/2 hours in maintenance ..... when will it be done? US53

[regal raven]

Game is undergoing maintenance. Please check back in 2030

[little fox]

EU 106 is up, but i rhink its running on US time - everything is opening 5 hours behind 🥲

[shadow dawn]

Scopley killin' it as usual .....

[graceful cedar]

So ..... they broke the maintenance this time?

[rose tapir]

<@&509690795536941056> All of that extra maintenance to what? Make sure the game is running worse than yesterday? What did you maintain? The shop??Sure as hell wasn't the player experience.

[dense fog]

Scopoly lost control on game, they don't know what they doing, very ridiculous now , and you want to add new content

[pale mist]

[pliant kernel]

This is much longer then 30-45 mins. I really hope theyre fixing stuff like how they say they are

[fickle herald]

Congratulations . It was a great success . You have improved ......the Lag 👍 At least something you dont fail

[unreal saddle]

Chests from new armadas are joke

[cyan isle]

I don’t want to have to work with other servers for ANYTHING. that content you guys make with other servers, causes more lag, more bugs, and NEVER functions. The vail, arenas, ect. Some of the worst content you guys have done and don’t care about. And you guys wanna force us into more for a month? We NEVER asked for that. We want solo g7 armadas. NOT other servers madas.

[fluid mist]

so is there a logical reason why I'm missing 80 minutes from my 8hr golden peace shield when the game wasn't able to be played. I'm honestly curious just because if no one was able to be in game to essentially raid other players why did the shield get put up to protect me for um... nothing.

[agile bobcat]

I only have one question: will this app update make the screen roll back to the top or to the left every time I claim something? Because I can’t take that 💩 anymore.

[cyan isle]

Just does it in events now….. @&$&$

[hybrid urchin]

wtg scopley you made the Orions in V'ger space harder to beat

[balmy pebble]

Defence of our Territory on 105 Newton did Not count.

[solar mortar]

yep the Orions are worse

[neat atlas]

Ok. Scopely keeps hearing negative stuff. Star Trek is decreasing in popularity, becuase the only place you can watch it is paramount (and who has paramount?). Less players. More lag. Why do we still play?

[cyan isle]

Scopley in 2026 is now killing armadas. Last fun thing left.

[grave quest]

i’m really torn on the acc building update. on one hand, i’m glad i don’t have to bother with it. on the other, why in the name of … should i have to wait for ops 71 to upgrade a building to lvl 51?!? No other building works like that. it’s like they were smoking something when they came up with that!

[solar mortar]

you probably need Sigma-Armada tokens to upgrade it 🙂

[dusky yew]

Lol, I hate group aramdas STFC managers. Nothing brings more drama in a alliance let alone a group of servers on a unstable veil. The worst part is the rewards are just a joke.. what, I get rep.. ooh, weee.. not sure yall know this. But I cant use the rep I have already for quite some time because these building cost to material income is quite bad. But hey, keep making what "yall want" not the players.

[cyan isle]

The irony of “group cross server armadas”. Is they kill the game with them, but they require more players to participate. As their player base dwindles.

[urban verge]

This daily is so broken. I'm ops 69 with good crews following all the guides I've found. At most fully buffed out I can kill 3-4 if I'm lucky then nothing after that. This has turned what I thought was an good arc into a misirable one for me. I even have the excelsior. @raw fiber please can they do something about this. When I was ops 68 I had no issue taking down all 10. Going up a single ops should not punish people this greatly.

[solar mortar]

I couldn't get 1

at 66

the Orions are harder after the patch

[urban verge]

Currently the only solution at ops 69 I see is having an excelsior at tier 10 for this research which is crazy amounts of money. I'm sure other people are in similar situations it just seems so broken.

[solar mortar]

ya that would be sweet

but not spending to fix their problem

[urban verge]

Its just crazy because this arc started out actually really enjoyable for me. I got the new ship and was happy with it. Then mid way through they drop the orion ships and literally ruin it. It makes me rethink ever spending on another ship if this is there new strategy

[solar mortar]

ya I have been spending less time in game and more time playing another. Not even considering G7.

[flint shuttle]

<@&509690795536941056> still had no ticket responses. On 5th day waiting.

[empty sail]

You won't, check your ticket conversation they just close them as if you havent replied happened to me twice in last few days

[normal laurel]

If you haven't already, I have gotten faster and actual responses through the email rather than the support online

[cyan isle]

I bought Sisko. Then they changed outpost sourcing directives in 1/2. last arc purchase I made. Last one I’ll ever do. If you can’t have confidence in your purchase 1 month out. There’s no point making one.

[south depot]

No Patch notes this time around?

[hybrid urchin]

Their not going to reply as they do not care to hear from us at all ... with how the game is going and how ppl are asking for a adjustment on some hostels, and they do not do a thing other than maybe make it harder ... yeah they just want the spenders and not the F2P ppl, and they are pushing the F2P ppl out

[rare vale]

I can't even begin to express how unexcited I am for open armadas. Id rather just continue to work within my own alliance, or maybe even server. Coordinating cross server is going to be a nightmare

[hybrid urchin]

and the fact that you will get blown up by others when you do them unless you cloak from what i hear ... almost like why do them

[grave quest]

i literally have reached the point where i no longer care. servers could be turned off tomorrow. i wont bat an eye.

[stuck topaz]

say what? shall we use another armada for this armada? seriously...

[hybrid urchin]

why make the Orions harder? is it to please your spenders?

[rose tapir]

To fully fix the poor quality of the game i will also be removing discord from all devices.

To those who continue to play the game, I salute you. Your patience and willingness to put up with being lied to and mislead and fleece for your money and you time is much stronger than mine.

To the community managers...I pity you, to have to constantly try and appease the player base of a game developed by such an incompetent bunch of people cant be easy.

To scopely....congrats in taking a once enjoyable game and running it into the ground.

o7

[loud hare]

Translation: We will delay things we dont really want to roll out since we can’t really monetize it, like G5 scrapping (Bullet 1)…however, despite us acknowledging that the stability issues are ongoing, we plan to continue to roll out new content (Bullet 3) because we only care about continuing the revenue streams and not fixing the underlying problem first.

[dreamy girder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxtvMgJdjAE

[latent timber]

They definetly did nothing to outposts 🫠 🤣 2/18 waves missing so far already 🤦

[tepid bramble]

I would feel relieved. As long as this dumpster fire is burning, I feel the pull to at least put a token effort into my ships. But I look forward to the game shutting down.

And then never touching a game ran by them again.

(And probably not another mobile game if I am honest. They are ALL predators)

Sticking to my old games, roaming the Capital wasteland has been such a welcomed joy. Even with the Bethesda bugs, the game is still a better use of my precious TIME! (Think I might go back and actually finish Grim Fandango 💀)

[lilac oar]

Another morning of Maintenance LAG!!!!!!!

[stuck cloak]

<@&509691205798592532> Constant game closing down. Fix that please

[kind vale]

Initial thought on Open Armadas. So Scopely heard players complaing about the time to complete outposts so they decided to extend the time on the new Armadas? Who comes up with this idea?

[civic haven]

Check your crew. I missed 1 above deck and 1 below and went from being able to kill 30-40 per hull to dying on the first one. Maybe you accidentally left Hugh on?

[hybrid urchin]

this is the best crew and the best FT/CT as i do not have the godsend and there is zero F2P ways to get it seeing scopely pulled that ages ago and this all gets me to this in a ship but still no wins and if i go balls to the wall i still die even if i win ... so this seems to be a spend to win think on the Orions

[civic haven]

Ah you said “why make orions harder” and I incorrectly read between the lines “during maintenance” because I myself thought at first that had happened. Sorry for responding to your feedback. I was just hoping to save you trouble if you goofed like I did.

[hybrid urchin]

Ever since Orions came out they have been on impossible mode to beat, and they have not gotten any better they seem to be getting harder

it seems the orions is a spend to beat hostel

[south depot]

Try taking off Borg Hugh, you dont want to do criticals in the fight with the Orions, it reduced your shield mitigation and Apex Barrier.

[hybrid urchin]

tried that and i did much worse

[hybrid urchin]

that is without hugh

that is with

[rare vale]

I hate to tell you this, but your krencha simply isn't big enough to take them on for your ops level. Mine is about double the size, at the same ops level, and even with the "optimal" crew I can get 2.5 per hull at most.

Thats not a knock on you, its just pointing out the ridiculousness of these hostiles.

[hybrid urchin]

yes i know i am pathetically weak and i can only do what i can as i have no money to spend and the rewards in the events are a joke

[rare vale]

Nah man, its scopely to blame, not your unwillingness to spend. In fact, I wish more people would close their wallets until the game is brought into the realm of quality and fair market value for packs.

[latent timber]

you tried without any crit cchance from Fleet Commanders and borg hugh and Mantis stinging your ship?

[hybrid urchin]

and that is with a sting .. did far far worse ... does not work

[latent timber]

Different crew? Annorax seska s31 georgiou (or even suder) and Blt, neelix, pic hugh and wok carol below. With leslie you die regardless what crit you got

[hybrid urchin]

i have tried every one listed in the sheet and the agony booth and those are worse than the crew i have found that done something these things are set to high to beat

[stone roost]

Moreau doesn't work on level 71 hostiles for a start

[hybrid urchin]

maybe so but she does something more then the other 1000 ideas ... thanks for the help y'all but scopely needs to lower down the hardness of these but they seem to be unwilling to as they want ppl to spend to beat them 2 times a week

[stone roost]

oh 100% agree they're way over tuned, I skip them cause I cba to remove all my FC and sting myself to do them lol

[hybrid urchin]

if anything they seem to of kicked them up a notch today

[latent timber]

my krencha at same tier with even less power beat ~10 of the 71s with those officers i listed and mantis sting method 🤔

[hybrid urchin]

well they did nothing for me .... something is missing as a variable

[latent timber]

officer tiers maybe?

[hybrid urchin]

it would have to be something major to make a big différance

[latent timber]

well t3 or t5 seska or pic hugh make a HUGE difference. same with WOK carol

[hybrid urchin]

seska is maxed and pic hugh is close to max wok carol is LVL 15

what is your observatory LVL at?

it is the one factor that might be the key

[latent timber]

shouldnt really matter because the dmg% is really low even lv 30+.

[hybrid urchin]

you would think but something is missing as a factor here

[latent timber]

you got the Hull repair favors in exborg faction store and hostile combat hull repair in premium mirror tree?

those are like 40% hull repair combined or so

[hybrid urchin]

are those primes that requier money to get ?

[latent timber]

no, premium mirror dust only

those 2 are key

[hybrid urchin]

T3 on those as those are very slow to get

and they are locked till i lvl up something else in a long chain of stuff to get to it again

[latent timber]

nah the premium dust one is pretty early and easy to get in the tree. And literally one of the best nodes in there ever

[hybrid urchin]

well takes me forever to get enough to LVL up 1

ik i should spend money i do not have like scopely wants

[latent timber]

you getting daily 100 from Outpost refinery, the pulls in terran Store from Arenas and the pulls in event stores and Alliance Tournament?

[hybrid urchin]

i do not do arenas way to buggy

and the outposts are a joke

i do the outposts when i get enough credits to do them

and the cost for 2 is way to high

[latent timber]

you wanna pull that 100 each day if possible. 50 isnt too bad. especially with your ship you can do 66 and 63 elite outposts most likely with loot crew

and Arenas might be worth it just for the premium dust. i hate doing them myself ever since they became even more unplayable. ima just finish the last few dust claims and dont bother with it till they fix it XD

[signal raft]

this works

[molten shell]

All of my favorite events.

[signal raft]

so do we have to pay to see what the alliance tournament tasks are @raw fiber

ahhhh yes, 'retrieving...' tasks, so mysterious

[terse lagoon]

why noone wonders about.

[cold valve]

Oh, the surprise, the unexpectancy that it doesn't work...

[weak grove]

the german translation "holt zurück" for "retrieving" is complete trash btw. once it was "rufe ab" which was correct. why is it "holt zurück" now. it is really annoying! 😡

[floral olive]

Come on scopley you take and take our money, but you won’t fix the basic stuff in this fracking game.

[dull canopy]

please get your stuff done, reading the #known issuses tab makes more angry one day to the other. I realy think this game is done

[loud hare]

Just more evidence that your approach (to stop G5 scrapping…but to continue w new content) is 100% the wrong move. You can’t even reliably provide the current content as evidenced by AT performance today.

STOP RELEASING NEW CONTENT….FIX THE PLATFORM

[mild steppe]

When an automobile engine cracks a head, you don't keep driving the car, YOU FIX IT!

[midnight stone]

is it too much to ask that 🐳 funded scopely actually hires devs that fix issues

[unreal geyser]

Except that this "retrieving..." with the alliance tourneys happens EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!!

[somber bough]

There is no “first time quality” here.

[dire scaffold]

It's bad enough that new features never work but now you seem to breaking all of the parts of the game that at least partially worked. Also whatever happened to the 'activating exocomps withthout having to dock ships' enhancement? I take it that it wasn;t tested and didn;t work so wasnt rolled out.

[stable cargo]

surprise surprise....NOT! come on guys, every update shouldn't come with guaranteed broken features out the gate. EVERY SINGLE TIME

[unreal geyser]

I bet it DID work as intended and that's why they stopped it.

[signal raft]

the game has fundamental issue that need fixing before you add another pants arc

[flint phoenix]

I find it humerous that Scopley can't even put out an event that is standard without problems. How long has AT been running for?

[pearl monolith]

Too long, just saying 😇

[brazen breach]

U wanna get strain off of your system ? Give us a way to junk all the old event stuff sitting in EVERY account, taking dozens and hundreds of database query,s close the DB API for external sites untl u get your stuff together, clean up years old player entries und maybe then your scripts wont take 4 hours to finish ...

[wicked tinsel]

Alliance tournament tasks not working, shocker

[loud hare]

I am not buying another pack/battlepass/nothing until LONG TERM STABILITY issues are addressed…which based on past performance from Scopley probably means I will never spend again.

[worthy thorn]

All this "Retreiving" and they extended maintanence by 45 mins just so they could properly break things

[midnight stone]

it's not just AT tasks, but an AT event too

[haughty umbra]

Your team lacks integrity and should be embarrassed.

[tropic crown]

It been nice to actually be able to see what the AT events are!

[wicked tinsel]

Alliance tournaments have never worked at start. Atleast there being consistent

[thorn nexus]

Good job on the AT Store not jumping back to top NOT!!

[proper narwhal]

With every maintenance or update, the game gets worse and worse instead of better. Stop adding new content every month that causes new bugs.

[midnight stone]

<@&509690795536941056> Is it too much to ask that Scopely actually fix bugs that have been around for ages, or do you simply not care?

They actually had them there for two runs. They find something people like in the store and then remove it. Back ot hundreds of days to get the bps needed for it.

[mossy pecan]

game is going from uinenjoyable to unplayable very fast again

[finite mural]

the 2nd run was due to the issues with the first run, it was never intended to be permanent and they said it was temporary

[open turret]

Outposts were never intended to be permanant either, but they found out people liked them and left them. They don't take into account what people enjoy too often.

[vague compass]

Nothing can be redeemed, ships cannot be exchanged, the game stutters and crashes...THANKS for nothing....you guys..........

<@&509690795536941056> Where is the promised compensation, which is now almost a month overdue? Don't let them get away with it. GET STARTED! EU108

[native adder]

Stop adding more cross-server content, please. In fact, scrap it all! Yes, including the entirety of The Veil. It’s the worst thing ever added to the game in my opinion…and that’s really saying something at this point.

Cross-server content seems to be the biggest cause of lag in the game. Look at Tournaments. It’s the same every month. Even worse lag than usual, in-game chats disappear… Please accept cross-server content doesn’t work and save us all the continual headaches and frustration.

[flint elm]

I’d favour that isolitic damage was the worst thing added to the game. It all started going downhill fast from that point…

[placid axle]

Why can see g6 rrss tasks?

is now for each level?

[fluid mist]

you might have to dumb down all the smart jargin for the scopley employee's if their product is any indication they won't understand what advice you're giving them.

so no post made from powers that be about this but if ya gonna take it down don't you think you should be saying so instead of doing it

call me crazy but if we're supposed to reports bug to your attention you should be reporting to us on when stuff is being removed don't you think????

[open turret]

Not sure if this has been brought up, but will post here. Is this a cut/past error on the new armadas or can you actually have three of your own ships in one?

[thin magnet]

removing the survey BP and Officer Tokens are the biggest ..... here.

[rare vale]

40 mins in, and it is already apparent that the open armadas were an awful idea. No coordination, constant booting, way too tough to beat, basically no rewards for the effort of beating one, and the list goes on. Should've just made G7 madas in the regular G7 space... not that I'd expect them to be any more rewarding, but at least you could coordinate them better .

[limpid dragon]

@raw fiber@vale wasp can we have an translator button like they have in other mobile games?

[woeful nymph]

The G7 open Armadas are probably the worst feature launched since Assaults. Kingmaking (constantly starred out), abysmal directive sourcing, bad payouts, over-tuned difficulty. This is DOA

[rare vale]

Yup, another obvious and shameless attempt to entice players to spend money to be strong enough to participate in and beat the open armadas. I'm not falling for it... not that it could afford to anyway given packs dont give out even close to $100 worth of content necessary for advancement.

[thin magnet]

no more Money for this bad Design and Paywalls

[open turret]

<@&509690795536941056> I am all for new armadas, but with the new Open G7 armadas being part of the Scotty's Research is too much. You are basically making it to where G7 players are the only ones that cannot finish that event unless they pay. All other players can use any armada no matter what level, but G7 players are stuck with just one target. That target is too strong too new to make it an only option. I am sure some are being beat, but I have seen only failures so far on the level 71 uncommon ones. That added to the low number of starts available when everyone else probably has hundreds of starts to complete the event on. Final point is the payout is meh at best on them from what I can see when scanning.

If you really want to entice more people into G7, this is not the way.

[frigid flicker]

Anyone know if they fixed the Outpost issue yet?

[finite mural]

there was no update addressing them specifically

[raven jacinth]

My AT isn't scoring

[restive echo]

https://tenor.com/view/lag-cat-walking-not-moving-forward-gif-15348457

[storm oracle]

You ever thought about fixing the lag?

[jovial vortex]

Well, I can't even log into the game

[mighty merlin]

Someone is seriously trying to kill this game off ... why solve issues when you can add more rubbish that upsets the majority

[storm oracle]

Better setting a shield thx for the info 😀

[modern robin]

Its again worse than before... Nice.

[hollow plover]

I've just closed the game and the lag is gone

[tepid bramble]

The loss, today, the win, the last time Orions showed. Nothing else changed on MY side.

This is beyond stupid and deceitful.

Do you guys sit around a table like the league of evil?

Done with this crap.

You center events, and many strings of events based off killing these. And then you make them impossible.

I wish you at Scoply free bags of sugar free gummy bears.

And as players, can we please stop coming up with the most ridiculous methods of trying to beat these, you’re just encouraging them and embarrassing ourselves.

When you’re being abused, time to break the chain.

[ivory rain]

This update was clearly aimed at level 71 and 72 players today... buy it or die...

[cosmic knoll]

you know whats wrong ... TESTING stuff with dev accounts ... and thinking actual players have these kinds of ships ... who the heel has a 999,999,999,999 powered realta? Not me

[muted hamlet]

Wow these new armadas are so terrible it's hard to believe! It's like you guys had a focus group and asked them how to make them really hard to access, take way too long to run, and make them impossible to beat without a 500b+ veng x4. 20 rounds too! Wow. What a clueless add and a terrible feature I will ignore for the next year till I can beat one. Just an awful awful implementation of what could be a decent idea.

[lunar ocean]

I've run out of ways to rant about how terrible Orions are. I'm just not doing them. In fact, I may drop V'gers altogether. The ship adds nothing to the game, so it's not worth pursuing, and the rewards aren't worth the sigma lat needed to complete them. You've completely ignored all of the criticism too. Things like that screenshot above clearly show that you don't test under realistic conditions. I assume that 69s are expected to have a maxed G6 Rare to win? And then max fort on top of that? No, I have better things to do.

Killing off Hurak Invasions because they were slightly too difficult to complete for like the first week, only to double-down on this... word I can't say here... just shows that nobody actually cares about the players.

And it sounds like G7 armadas have the exact same issue... My time in this game is swiftly coming to an end. You fools can't even get making things P2W right anymore.

[jovial vortex]

I don't understand why you in Scopely deploy new updates when you cannot guarantee the game stability. I'm not paying you for not playing!

[drowsy inlet]

pay to win is usually never good, but we arent talking about $100 or $200 investment. most players would need to spend thousands to make a dent in anything and move that needle. this is so much worse

[full gate]

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaag

[tiny axle]

Alarm bells are ringing very loudly with the blog entry that stated this -"We will continue to update the game and bring interesting new ways to play. Some plans have been reduced, but many team members are not the ones who can deliver architectural fixes, so we will continue shipping updates to keep the game exciting while the stability work continues." It's all about the money - invest in new content but not fixing the game. There you have it ladies and gentlemen....us players are screwed.

[ivory rain]

Before I pump any more money into this, I'd rather give it to a woman on OF. 😂

[junior bloom]

At least you would get something for your money

[thin magnet]

Yesterday i planned to invest money on stfc. 1 flletcomander seat and the last drydock now i see this paywall open armadas disaster.
Thank you scopely i gave my money to other Business that Respekt me.

[vocal gorge]

Lag, crashes and tournaments not scoring. Glad to see maintenance worked.

[proud narwhal]

<@&509690795536941056> the difficulty needs to be reduced on the 71 uncommons, the entry level armada shouldn't require anything more than 4 max g6 epics or cubes, then scale in difficulty from there...

[rancid sequoia]

The VGer dailies are so challenging even with a Cerritos. I have half given up on the VGer dailies due to the amount of time needed to beat even 1 VGer battleship using my tier 10 Ent-D.

[red rampart]

@tiny axle , what do you expect from GM Conman?

[vivid nebula]

Connor only comes out when there’s a risk of the whales kicking off, we haven’t got to that point yet. Will g7 armadas finally be the breaking point?

[broken scaffold]

What I read in Conor's message: "We acknowledge gameplay is slow, poor, and glitchy. Our design is actually far worse than you imagined. At this time, we have yet to fix any issues, but we are treating them like serious problems now. (That's how messed up the situation is.) While a team begins work trying to resolve issues we have identified thus far, the team that can't help fix anything will be allowed to introduce more bugs. We'll study the bugs, though, like entomologists! Let's see how it goes over the next few months--fingers crossed! Also, open armadas for G7 players."

[cosmic coral]

Thanks for the e-mail, but the platform is far from stable, lag is worse than ever, what exactly did you do in this mornings maintenance??

[haughty sail]

"We know it's busted beyond belief but please give us your money"

[short sage]

Yeah, more than a little frustrating and insulting that it took them THIS LONG to finally dig into the code to find out it’s THAT BAD. What, Scopely? The thousands of players you have all over the world telling you for YEARS that the game is barely playable half the time, and that we don’t want more new content until you FIX the game wasn’t enough? You didn’t trust thousands of people who clearly wanted the product to work as intended? Why did it take y’all this long to actually look deeper to find what was actually causing the problems, instead of putting 1000 bandaids on a wound that clearly needs stitches? Because now it needs surgery. 🤨

🤞🏻 that you actually learn your lesson and start putting WAY more effort in stabilizing the game than you do developing new content… though history has shown us that’s not likely………

[full gate]

lag

[devout harbor]

please could there be improvements made to claiming events and boxes? the game is unresponsive and not allowing claims to go through

[nova sierra]

The first promise of we will fix the lag was in 2020 when the Stella was released. I've been dead for 6 years from holding my breath waiting for the lag fix.

[magic cedar]

G7 armadas feedback:

1. Nice that we get a group challenge. Succeed with the absolute minimum power 20 rounds)
2. Great that it was relatively not buggy. Can't say the same about the combat log - half of the rounds are missing.
3. The loot from armadas is abysmal.
4. The armada rewards are absolute garbage. Not worth the effort

[full gate]

AT store is difficult to use and the lag made me hit a landmine and purchase the incorrect item. Plus scrolling to the item I want over and over while the game resets it is a pain.

[wild hearth]

Based on our testing, Open Armadas will not place additional stress on the system
That seems likely, given how few players can actually access them. And when you combine it with feedback above on how difficult they seem to be, with pitiful rewards on offer, it seems likely they'll be ignored too. No system load if there's no one using the system.

[limber oriole]

I just love how they brought us all through G6 teaching us to do things solo.
They start G7 and tell them to work with people on other servers, while limiting nodes, armada slots, ect... looking for pvp action and more $$ spent because of it.
All while not having the game run smoothly once this arc and give us the BP response

[tepid bramble]

Yup, tried a couple other crews, (not stinging myself sorry, that’s just dumb). And still not getting anywhere. Punching down doesn’t count for anything, so yeah, you’re screwing us intentionally now.

Back to dailies and done. Clueless as a bag of hammers.

(And that’s being generous, because honestly at this point, your incompetence truly looks like intention, and there are not words I am allowed to say that would be adequate to describe this corp.)

[dusky yew]

G6, and why it was perfectly introduced with solo aramdas.

-Time sensitive for us who cant play all day.
-Rewarding
-And challenging
All things that g7 aramdas are not.
What are G7 armadas.
-booted consistently unless one run his own only to die because they make round limitations or whatever other mess with to make to hard even for a strong player with maxed g6 maxed cube and a decent vengeance

• rewards 🤣.. so bad. Like really really bad.. I wont be upset missing them beyond the dumb events requiring players to do them for ark rewards.
• as far as challenging, no they aren't, ita just spend more if you want to beat them.

Thanks STFC, I feel so much better about my decision few months back to stop spending in my once beloved game. Way things have beem going , I don't see that changing..

With love, from a unhappy ops72 who was a very active player 🖖

[vague compass]

One more thing that should be discarded: everything beyond the outpost is just junk.

[velvet sparrow]

Scopley eu is still laggy as hell unplayable

[boreal ferry]

Did someone win a bet that they couldn’t top the g4 boxes of disappointment? The g7 armada chests are absolute rubbish. I’d spend more trit repairing my ship than the chests would give me… not to mention no mats. no officers. no ship parts.

[ivory rain]

I wish I had just stayed at 70 and waited for G8... G7 is a complete joke...

[boreal ferry]

only reason to sit at 71 is to collect the extra lat and hoard mats until they inevitably make it all much, much cheaper. i’ve no interest in engaging with g7 much beyond that. not that there’s much to engage with

like, there’s so much they could’ve put into these chests to make them feel like worthwhile content. artifacts with slow sourcing! Sisko stuff! even officer badges or sigma faction credits. Literally anything more than… this (for those not in g7, that second purple item is their genius idea to give these armadas their own speedups).

[ivory rain]

Anyone who only does my daily quests and necessary events... that was it... this now awful game won't get any more money or time from me. ... I'm not going to subject myself to such garbage voluntarily anymore.

[nova sierra]

I miss when there were only like 3 items in foundry and factions... done in less than a minute....

[tranquil roost]

Was saying this 3+ years ago that putting layers upon layers of nice new shiny code on foundations of balsa wood wasnt working. But oh-no....we just are - well was - the paying customer, we dont know anything 🤔

Anyone else find it absolutely funny that Connor has been shamed into blogs that can’t be responded to?Saving himself public humiliation?

Food for thought. You promised in videos. You promised on blogs. You can not buy yourself more time.

Fix this junk.

[sly vault]

<@&509690795536941056> Still no AT tasks for my ENTIRE alliance! S102 DARK. Other alliances on the server have tasks. This is beyond unacceptable!

[keen loom]

Hasn’t it always been 8bit?

[fluid mist]

I have a fix for that bring out the good old Sega or snes graphics were better less bugs games were cheaper and actually complete the cons are the games are like 30-40 yrs old so it's your call

[limber oriole]

Could we possibly not do this, has happened often recently

[open turret]

<@&509690795536941056> How are you upper level players supposed to feel when a level 70 player can finish the armada event with a Realta if they wanted to, but there is no choice for a G7 player and lots won't be able to finish the event?

[magic cedar]

Seeing today some server stability and cool new content, I was considering buying a pack (more than the battlepass). After seeing the absolute garbage G7 armada chest pulls, considering stopping playing the game. The rewards are just insulting.

[violet estuary]

Wasn't that supposed to be fixed?

[wintry heath]

Are you kidding me, You choose NOW to do maintenance, you guys SUCK

[finite mural]

? maintenance was over a while ago

[dire rose]

Even your compo chest is broken 😂

[cyan isle]

You guys finally admitted you’ve crammed too much 💩 into the game for servers to handle. When we’ve been begging you guys to stop. And fix everything.

[balmy shadow]

they no listen

[dense wharf]

They don't care about their players. The 109 is dying because of all this. They killed the game. I decided to stop as soon as I found a solution for the players in the alliance I manage.

[full gate]

well, it didnt work

[wooden spire]

Pretty much the same guff he said late last year when promising that the beginning of this year would see major improvements now that they’d finally discovered the root cause of it all. Same old rubbish to keep people spending.

[floral citrus]

Let players choose what compensation they want and not what you think we want.

[hoary lynx]

So…did anyone give even the smallest consideration to how G7 open armadas would function for alliances at war? Isn’t it just an invitation to your enemy to come hit you?

More content not doable, rewards crap, lag and bugs. And not able to beat them. Literally out of touch with player base.

[tawdry echo]

That's why I don't play anymore, among other things.

[wide socket]

feel bad for the g7 players. should be adressed lol. allow them like g6 all armadas

[boreal ferry]

while I don’t disagree they are way too difficult esp given how awful the rewards are, picard is nerfed on 71+ content so if you’re trying a PB Gwen cheese or similar it won’t work

[cyan isle]

Entering g6. A g5 epic tier 3/4 could reasonable do g6 madas.

A vengeance, premium ship. Cannot do g7 armadas. Even with g7 uncommon almost max.

This content is dead on arrival

[boreal ferry]

Oh I agree lol. Just seen a few pikes and picards in these fail screenshot. One bad crew isn’t responsible for that level of fail tho. Totally OP especially given the chests are pretty much worthless

[rare vale]

I dont even have a vengeance yet, and my g6 epics aren't able to do the g7 madas, so as a mostly ftp player, I feel like I might as well quit since all new content is basically requiring you to spend thousands to be able to sufficiently participate.

[cyan isle]

We send bad crews and surveys for g5 armadas. G6 armadas largely need nothing special. Uncommon g6 completely capable doing g6 armada.

Vengeance that cost 500$+, 1,000$+, 3000$ cannot do g7 armadas.

Scopley has lost touch with player base

[ornate notch]

hf not working,please advise

[cyan isle]

No g5 scrapping. No g6 scrapping. But building can go to g7? Let’s get real.

[surreal otter]

Orions still stink @ops 66. And you fixed the wrong v'ger bug by making the hostiles swap EARLY? You guys really hate us.

[broken scaffold]

Let's face it--that building is another sink for the mats spend events.

[full gate]

the game has been feeling sluggish, long wait times to generate action from a click

[graceful cedar]

Okay, freebooters are not counting for the dailies, g6 for solo armadas are not counting for the g6 solo armada tourney task and the connection issues are really getting to be almost too much.

[quick cove]

Latest arc
Star Trek Maintenance Command : Return of the comp chest

[boreal ferry]

you need the temporal conduit on your biggest or only ship in the armada for that task
assuming that’s the one you picked

[graceful cedar]

It didn't specify that in the task description. It said defeat 2 g6 rare fkr armadas. If I needed tech, it should state that clearly. I just looked and it actually IS on my biggest ship so the task is screwed up.

[modern robin]

Tried that for so long and I’m happy I was able to quit several months ago. Just received that From GM“ mail which made me laugh and I thought I peep in here to see what is going on again.

[cosmic coral]

2250 takeover points, are you serious?!!! You do know how many points we normally get for completing a takeover right?? We missed a 45min system yesterday so you'd be looking at 15k points minimum, don't you know how your own game works!!!

[jovial dagger]

Lagging absolutely terrible. All missions logs still saying retrieving. Absolutely disappointing. Making me want to quit playing entirely. No news of resolution being given??

[sly belfry]

The open Armada directive soursing is to poor. I think the game need more dirrectives, so community have other stuff to focus on. And to fiond a way to kill them, as a community. They are challenging, but we don't get the opportunity to solve the puzzle. As the reward are so lack luster, and directive soursing so bad, there is little to no motivation to do them. With more dirrective, we could as a community try to kill them for fun. I do not see the harm in loosen up directive soursing. There is NO materials or rss that change the game. NO speedups that will offset the game. Get more speedups by doing my daily tasks. You have this loop gated with timer on the chest, and the cost of the other pulls are sky high. With the limited speedups, there is a time gate on the armada itself. At the moment the crew`s needed to kill the Open Armdas are similar to the daily grind crew. So we will not have 1 ship flying around doing Armadas and 2nd ship do grinds.

[ivory rain]

Let me give you a little tip: Instead of trying to figure out how to destroy them for fun, we should buy directives like crazy… First fill the coffers and then they'll throw them at us.

[sly belfry]

For me 4-5 starts on every new feature should be standard. So we can try the out feature and we can find out what works or not. Regarding open Armadas, We should be able to start an Armada every 2nd day. Think every 2nd day is ok sourcing of f2p directive. Think thats the same as we have for Waves. What we have now is just killing the feature.

[faint ridge]

I'm ops 72, just maxed my cube and got a baby vengeance.

The G7 armada feature is dead on arrival for me.

1 directive sourcing is a orders of magnitude too slow

2 their power is not scaled correctly. A 71 unc should be killable by 4 mid/high g6 epics. 72 unc by max cube/mid vengeances. 73 should require 73 unc ships. Needing a 73 unc to carry a 71 unc shows how little the devs understand this game.

3. Rewards are not worth the effort and repairs, by a huge amount

Once again, a good feature with interesting new possibilities, ruined by your own inability to understand how to get your customer base to engage with this game

[cyan isle]

As a ops 71, t3 vengeance. I probably won’t play much today. Actually haven’t played much the last two months.

Adding content you can’t do. Causes people like me to not play. If people like me don’t play, they don’t spend.

Hey scopley, if g6 players see a 3000$ vengeance can’t do g7 armadas, and can only kill 3/5 hostiles. What incentive did you give a g6 player to wanna go to g7?

[cloud kiln]

Will I ever have a day, that I can use ship abilities without having to reboot to clear negative reset timers to use ability again?

The V'ger hostiles at my ops level are simply unbeatable, even with good crewing and the researches I've been doing.

[cyan isle]

What level ops?

[scenic delta]

66

[fluid mist]

no they don't know how there game works if they did they wouldn't do such a bad time trying to fix things. Mostly of course cause they'd realize they don't know how to fix things but thats besides the point they don't know how the game works only how you make packs and sucker us into spending money.

[sage wadi]

Do you have Ops66 ship?

[scenic delta]

I have Velox. Does that count?

[sage wadi]

Yes. And on what tier?

[scenic delta]

Tier 4.

[sage wadi]

Work on it. T9 should be fine.

[scenic delta]

That's gonna be a lot of Sigma Tritanium, and I've switched to F2P.

[cyan isle]

What tier is your rel? Or trashcan?

[sage wadi]

You can do it. I'm f2p also and had T9 Velox instantly when I reached Ops66. You can have it fast.

[scenic delta]

Relativity tier 5, GS tier 3.

[cyan isle]

Your trashcan definitely needs pushed. I was watching a guy in our alliance kill 68/69 v’ger with his rel. so you just need to camp more and upgrade you speciality ships. They’re cheaper than Velox

[tepid bramble]

Dude, it was like been slammed in the face with a brick going from 65 to 66 with Vger crap. It sure doesn’t encourage me to spend, it forces me to IGNORE this crap.

And sadly, this is exactly what they want, you ain’t paying, they don’t WANT you playing.

[cyan isle]

They likely have v’ger programmed for max tier ships. So 66-69 would require a max g6 rare. 70-72 require max g6 epic or a vengeance. Is just bs

[scenic delta]

I've managed to work up the courage to do Solo Waves, so that's how I get most of the stuff to upgrade my GS. I also do research to make sure the only thing uglier than my GS is whatever it's fighting.

the whip shld only give bells or ft tier up stuff once u max all the fts in the refinery

[acoustic crater]

We have same issue, had same thing happen to our team last week when game was unplayable and no one could log in..not a word from "SUPPORT"!!!

[acoustic crater]

don't even get any response now either, too busy creating unplayable stuff and then running around like headless chickens, false words(lies) are then issued in statements to players in official announcements. And "compensation chests" are a kick in the guts to all affected players.
This is supposed to be a game! Falsely advertised as such.

[rare vale]

1200 rare g6 ship parts, per class, in the treasury is a joke. That's not even half of a g6 epic component. Yet Scopley wonders why people are leaving this game. Its because progression has become nonexistent. Nobody wants to play a game in which they cant see meaningful progression.

[grave quest]

this has been a general trend (not G7 myself yet) But look at the vger nonsense. It’s like they define hard by how much money you have to spend …

[woeful hollow]

Any idea when last missions will be in holodeck

[finite mural]

2nd mission has been there since day 1

[grave quest]

The current AT rewards as a whole are no longer that good. Don’t get me wrong, what is in it is not terrible! But any alliance that has done well so far is no longer in need of most of the stuff in the store. They need to generally keep adding stuff so that there is something worth getting. (would it kill them to put nsea parts in it?) I obviously cannot speak for everyone, but for those that do well, store is void of anything interesting and that which is, they take out or say “it was only a one off special”

[woeful hollow]

Can it be done without excelsior ship

[wary citrus]

this is awesome - surprise officer while trying to pull "Admiral's Officer" and the game just froze ... fix game please

[quick gale]

Just got the new voyager game. Not a single crash, bug so far… if a company can do that for release day, why can’t Scopely do it after so many YEARS… not months… YEARS!

[ivory rain]

Same here... frozen solid and nothing inside the freezer.

[finite egret]

So happy I dont play this horrible game since months.

[lucid wing]

Well it's certainly a surprise! 😂

[thick flax]

an active ops72 from my alliance quit today. guess the open armadas was the last nail in his coffin. previously vger orions and now this. gg scopely. keep it up

[ivory rain]

To be honest, I'm seriously considering deleting my account today... this damned greed is unbearable.

[lucid wing]

There are people staying for the community aspect, then there are people who are committed to the effort/expense already given to the game. The continuing faults, extremely poor arcs and miserable FTP aspect is killing STFC. We keep saying it, Scopely keep saying they are sorting it. Eventually everyone will give up and frankly Scopely will have nobody to blame but themselves.

[grave quest]

i’m just going to say, we have options when it comes to games and brokely may want to think about the state of the game as well as player relations …

[thick flax]

we just did a 8 hour stream for this, so addictive

someone summed it perfectly, "made for star trek fans by star trek fans"

[grave quest]

i just think it is important for them to take note that the IP alone will only take them so far. So many people on this channel have expressed their fear that this game is about to reach end of life, and they may need to do something . With the “whales” screaming about how the g7 armadas are really bad with even worse rewards, all the technical issues they’ve had for a while now, and vger stuff being too much for a lot of players…. frustration and a new cool voyager game may accelerate stfc death if they don’t put more effort into it.

[cosmic knoll]

[cosmic knoll]

the only news about that game i heard about is its inability to allow you to save ... needing to be open for hours = its a crypto farmer ina startrek skin.

[fluid mist]

only reason I even keep participating in tournaments is for the officer badges and to help out my alliance members there hasn't been anything in that store thats helped me for 8 months. Oh and for the record I've been ftp for 3 years and I wasn't a big spender to begin with so there's plenty that I dont have in every aspect of this game.

[lucid wing]

The tournaments are done for the good of the alliance, even if both the selection screen and rewards page randomly move stuff about without warning. The amount of mis-clicks is just another standard Scopely bug we learn to live with.

[covert mist]

Man....the scoring on the G7 Open Armadas is such trash. 48 credits from a single run, and need 22,500 to open a chest

[lucid wing]

WUT

I knew the G7s were moaning but I can see why now!

[covert mist]

well, thats what the started from our alliance got, I was stronger....got 81

but yea, lowest chest i can pull is 22,500.....

3 of these so far, im up to 338 total....out of 22.5k

[lucid wing]

Might be there a while 😂

[open turret]

Still no feedback on the ludicracy of this event for G7 players. Anyone below G7 can hit ***ANY ARMADA, ***so it could be finished with a Rrealta for some. Meanwhile, if you are G7 and don't have a level 73 ship you are SOL for the event. Please any communication at all on this, or as I said are most of G7 SOL?

[covert mist]

Yea....i literally only got my Veng today, so im always one of the smallest, i get powred out of most all of them too...

Waves are again very laggy. Using the GS-31 freezes both ships for 5 seconds, ghost ships, kirshara breaks, ... EU125

[lucid wing]

The GS-31 ability spool up time is atrocious but has been for a while.

[fluid mist]

the servers could be spewing sparks and fires in scopley's office and they'd still claim everything is working as intended because they just don't care all the bugs glitches and lag reports since even before this month and nothing is honestly truly fixed since we still getting reports. But it's all good new armada's ate here the game is saved... He says sarcastically rolling his eyes

[prisma wolf]

Anyone stuck on 5% trying to log on….

[lucid wing]

Happened to me a few times, you need to completely close the launcher and relaunch. It will work then.

Don't click/press retry

[prisma wolf]

Cheers bud will do I’m on my 6th reset 🤣 but will keep trying!

[lucid wing]

It's not a bug, it's another Scopely feature! 😂

[muted hamlet]

Scopely can't make up it's mind. Do they want to incentivize wild PVP and spending? OK, that's the Veil. A terrible place with not enough nodes that has daily requirements and smashes together all servers in what looks like a cash grab - chaos/war = $. OK. But then we are all supposed to work together in open armadas? It can't be both guys.

[wheat axle]

I’m stuck at either check internet connection, or 5% retrying, so can’t login on iOS

[prisma wolf]

Please see above, try 17 was just the ticket 🤣

[flint hearth]

Game crashed again, now I can’t log on. This is such BS. Scopely not likely to survive these constant lags, crashes, and scoring screwups

[lucid wing]

Honestly all I can say is close the launcher completely and try again, and again, and again...

Let's get to the topic of EU servers: Reparations!!!! WHEN? And don't come up with officer parts, officer deopt parts, or similar meaningless nonsense. Specifically:
-Resources
-Material
Complete unlocks, whether officer or VT, etc.
-FC space, ship docks, etc. completely
Really large amounts for G3/G4/G5/G6/G7 specifically, i.e. sigma resources from G6 onwards....
No resources/materials that you no longer need at your level. THINK ABOUT IT. Stop with the lies.

[formal rune]

Is this saying there's a 40x better chance of getting Uncommon refined ore by opening 1 chest instead of 3 at the same time?

[orchid creek]

@vagrant hearth but they still pump out events that need stuff to do , tournaments today is a bust for those I know on 133 , lag making it impossible to play on mobile....And remember it's a mobile game , not pc or console...

[lunar ocean]

Wow, a new player. Crazy.

Most pulls in the game have a tax like this if there's a timer. It gets much worse later on. Just get used to it or play a better game. I recommend the latter.

[vagrant hearth]

Oh definitely, but it's not as if PC doesn't have issues as well. The entire infrastructure needs an overhaul tbh

[wet fiber]

5 full minutes already and your dumpster fire of a game doesn't realise ship B is off the node, maintenance you said? Just to throw out these new open armadas and let the game rot even further, hopeless company

[orchid creek]

Just tried my ever first arena on EU 133 , what a waste of time , my ships just disappeared, I had heard its bad and not to try , but I'm OK with pain ...but that is pathetic ,

[latent timber]

No you get a chance for either 40 15 or 8 UC per chest. Most refineries have a tax for collecting morr than one chest

[orchid creek]

And we have all the pvp screaming when's incursions this month ... I've not seen any post , but if arenas anything to go by I'll be skipping that as well , ...how scopely have killed the game

[cosmic knoll]

arenas died the first week it was released, they refused to fix it to what players had suggested. then after a month of failed attempts they did partially adjust it to player suggestions but it was too late. the only ppl that participate(d) in arenas are bots and ppl that dont care for the higher ranked rewards because its just doa. scopely have no intention of making the game better, only last long enough to milk the last whales before they jump.

Running incursions with the current state of the servers is pure madness

[modern robin]

exactly what i thought...:

"we don't know what the problems are... and we have exactly one developer who can fix the performance issues. all others are exchanged by AI because of CEO says we have to be more efficient".
that is what i read between the lines 🙁

[lunar ocean]

Incursions on a Thursday is stupid, and a 24-hour shield is also stupid as it's only useful if you remember to use it as soon as it starts. It needs to be a 3-day to actually be helpful <@&509690795536941056>

[lunar ocean]

While I don't doubt that they use AI code, this is a wild way of interpreting things.

[coarse sundial]

I do not do incrsuions so free shield free

[rare vale]

Don't worry, they'll ascend you. Its a purposeful tactic they use to get the unascended server to spend so they can try to be competitive in the incursion. They did it to our server once upon a time... and it worked on all the whales, as usual.

[warm lagoon]

I hope they do!

[main spade]

ya brutal server good luck

[modern robin]

na they said that not every delevoper in their team can fix the current problem... and they said many times that they don't know what the problem is (now they know ;)). Companies always try to make things sound less bad than they actually are. 🙂

[coarse sundial]

the problem is they never go back and fix old atratuical bugs been in game since lauch ect

may be they should have ai hunts for bugs perferbaly not sky net

[amber verge]

Welp, the syndicate says that level 21 adds the "Claim All" functionality. But, when I try to claim all, it says level 27. How about you make up your dadgum minds????? Which is it? And, if it's 27, then why was it raised SIX levels, which will take months to get to????? Pretty cruddy, devs.

[bleak kiln]

Just a note to myself. "When was the last time, Scopely did something right for this game?"

[quick cove]

At the launch.

[fleet moss]

Scopely in a nutshell: "we don't care about you unless you pay us money"

One of our players, who has big health issues, and is a huge fan of Porthos from Enterprise, was trying hard to get the avatar in the SLB, it was an item she dreamed of. A purely cosmetic item. Unfortunately, at the last moment she got pushed to fourth place, losing the avatar, crying, and basically wanting to quit the game. We convinced her not to. We also suggested she writes to Scopely support to maybe get this cosmetic, unimportant item since she was fourth, because she is such a huge fan, as a courtesy of good will, especially in the light of the horrid quality of the game lately. Honestly, I had a tiny sparkle of hope. Just a tiny one. That the support agent is a human. Nope. She was told that in the future Porthos is likely to become a paid item in the store that she can buy instead.

This is how you are treated as well, as a money cow.

Think about it.
Think seriously.

[amber verge]

I mean, they can't even make changes in the game to outline their changes. Hey, Devs? Here's a dime. Change the text so that it doesn't promise something you don't want to give out, you greedyamotherf*ers. Egad ...

[ivory rain]

Scope on their cheap server, where even the pulse rate is reduced to save server load… 🤬

[latent timber]

They dont even care about those who pay them money 🫠 or we dont pay em enough

[woeful nymph]

The biggest Rift is not the new video, but the gap between the playerbase and the dev team

[tropic crown]

Laaaaaaaaag s33

[rigid spruce]

Why waste time and money on the video when so much needs fixing in the game? I’d say that the biggest gap is between the devs and reality

[lunar ocean]

Do you understand how game development works? He's saying that different teams work on different things and that they can't just stop everything and put the entirety of staff on one task. Basically, he was explaining why they're still adding features while all of this is going on.

[ripe hemlock]

and still its a straight up lie 🙄

normal game development has a production pipeline with planning, coding, evaluating and testing.

scopely seems to have only putting out non working code, never evaluating and then put this into
production on live servers, then never re-evaluate or improve/fix issues.

the only reason why they keep this game running is to milk their customers until they quit.

[haughty sail]

and when they do roll out a fix, it's rolled back on the next update because the team doing the updates is working from old copy paste code

[fleet moss]

It's a straight up lie.

I've worked in software development for years. Development is done in usually sprints which last about 2 weeks. Project managers for each team make decisions from the queue of tasks in JIRA or similar software -- which ones to focus on now. So, yes, EVERY TEAM can be put on bugfixing, it just takes the leaders of those teams and the main product manager to make that decision and YES every developer should be able to fix those bugs. So it's utter bull. The only reason that new features are being added is because the PMs decide to do so for their team instead of fixing the utterly broken game.

And people who make marketing videos could instead be reassigned to reading community comments and realizing how completely out of reality their entire marketing work is with almost the entire player base raging about the quality of the game etc. These same people could be reassigned to other Scopely projects that maybe actually could use some marketing, STFC needs no marketing because the players' dissatisfaction completely turns off everyone new joining the game and it's the community that's the only thing that's holding people and not making them delete the game.

Whatever is going on with this game and the company should be studied by scientists as an amazing exercise in failure -- how to fail on every possible front when managing a company, and how to waste the investor's money, who are too blind to notice it now, but soon they will. And heads will roll.

[shadow lake]

Nice matchmaking

10 mins afk perfect gameplay 😎

How it's going? 🤣

Should I have some battlepass for this event?

[grave hawk]

Incursions could not be scheduled at a worse time.

[valid grove]

That is obviously just a prioritization issue.
Yes, you can put the whole team on bugfixing task. There‘s more than enough separate issues available for everyone to work on separately.

Like, how they are investing time and money into making „animated shorts“, instead of investing said time and money into fixing bugs.

Or how they are running „Blog entries“ that are barely disguised sales pitchs.

Or how they are running the game servers on borderline resource starvation to save money and readily accept resulting lag.

Prioritization issues, wherever you look

[high raven]

Diese AI Filmchen sind ja wirklich erbärmlich, wehalb investieren die nicht besser in das Spiel, frage nicht nur ich. Die Antwort ist, es kaufen einige trotzdem weiter, denen ist es egal ob das Spiel überhaupt funktioniert.,

[stone roost]

The games never going to improve until they completely re-do the backend

Having to load 30000 inventory items for every player every single time you open any menu (and each menu is its own webpage which further demands more server power) or do literally anything in game is what is murdering the servers, until they let us either sell or create a separate tab to archive inventory items that then only gets accessed when you specifically go to that page server performance is only going to get worse and worse

The game was never designed to be this big, to have this much content, it doesn't matter how shiny your mansion is, how many cars you have, how many televisions you put inside it or what you build it out of, if you built it on top of sand it's still going to break constantly until one day it will just collapse entirely

They can barely cope with the server load as it is, this is why the game implodes every AT and every incursion as they spike server demand

[modern robin]

I know how development works 😉. And Most developers know why something is Happening and why something is Not Happening. Or my Team is inhuman... I don't know 😃.

[ivory rain]

Greed and incompetence have never been a good combination.

[analog narwhal]

Please either sunset incursions or update its store to be relevant past g4. There is no reason the entire game needs to be inconvenienced for a g4/epeen stroking event that provides nothing of value.

[open turret]

Maybe you should have an ultimatum to your coders to have to double or triple check when they copy/paste. That appears to be what the problem is with the moral(e) event. It appears to be copied from the burning event they had earlier in Scotty's research. They didn't check to change it to your ship instead of the hostile. They also didn't change part of the wording in the evnt descrition. Please do better or don't allow copy/paste at all. Quality Control is essential and is not being used.

<@&509690795536941056> Also, check scoring on the V'Ger event. It says 61-70 should score 60 points. I shoud have had to kill 20 to complete 60*20=1200. From my calculations it was only scoring 45 for 61s not the mentioned 60.

[eternal marten]

Just going to voice my disdain for an incursion starting on a work day. It should be kept on the weekend for each region, just offset everything by a week for these cyclical events. Your new releases can be as per usual. IMO.

[dreamy arch]

Why are we doing incursions on Thursday Saturday was wayyyyy better

I hope theres less participants people work

[ripe hemlock]

Quality Control is essential and is not being used.
Their "Quality Control" are us players on the live servers who are complaining here on this dicord after they release their untested spaghetti-code.

[open turret]

Sad but true. They still don't listen to their QC, they say running at intended and don't change it.

Still no communication about the horrendous Open Armada event. What percentage of your G7 group didn't finish the event?

[hollow mortar]

So let me get this straight the game doesn't work it crashes every 13 minutes or so rewards are horrible compensation is a joke but we have incursions and there's a cruise that we have to pay for how out of touch are these people

[dreamy arch]

Whats also sad but true is they say they dont like bullies but we got one top allience that has been breaking down little alliences one at a time making them quit and ive complained numerous times. 😢 cause I like this game but cant play cause that allience dont like being talked back to.

[lusty basin]

So all this new content is for the whales and it breaks lower levels content.

So what do they do? Fix the whales content and break even more lower level content and just ignore all the broken stuff because it doesn’t affect the whales

[wary glade]

The impression I get is that for too long patches have been applied to fix bugs without a real understanding of the underlying issues. You could allocate all developers to trying to fix the system, but you are likely to hit the ‘too many chefs’. It needs a real understanding of the where the game is, how it can be moved forward, but without answering questions like, is our base technology good enough, and why do European servers perform less than American servers?

I have enjoyed the playing the game but not really for the last two years. I am at the point now where I ask myself is it worth my money?

[fluid mist]

if you're at the point of asking if it's worth your money then you should've stopped spending awhile ago. No offense and thst means no battle pass or tc pass wave pase syndicate pass ferengi pass arc pass no none of them just complete stop. Then after that you can enjoy the game for what it is something that they'll never fix because all they care about is your wallet to never close. I've never been happier with stopping my spending as I have these past few years. I still despise how the company treats us I just play the game how I can and laugh at all the money I save and other people are throwing into a shredder that never gets shut off.

[wary glade]

Some good points and I do plan to stop my spend. It won’t make a big difference cos I am more an occasional spender lol Is there a non spenders club

Treasury for FtP players is ridiculous. My ops 42 account has Treasury at 42 yet my payout is only 856k Latinum and only G3 Matts. Granted this account has only made 1 purchase (to unlock Lt JG Picard) but not getting G4 Matts makes progression difficult.

[signal raft]

More maintenance coming, seriously???

Between maintenance and lag it feels like we had zero time to actually play properly this month

You have to restart the game for every arena match.

[lunar ocean]

... Look, I'll give the others to a degree (I don't think it's reasonable to expect a live service game to pause all development indefinitely to fix bugs, but yes, it's technically possible to move all developers to bug fixing), but how on Earth could you possibly get the idea that developers are making the shorts or that writing blog posts has any appreciable effect on dev time? That short was probably done before the arc even started. I get being angry, and I came here intending to complain about something, but just blindly getting mad at everything isn't productive and gives them excuses to pay less attention to us. Be reasonable. This post is the equivalent of asking the janitor in the ER why you haven't been seen yet.

You fools are adding ANOTHER stupid V'Ger?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?! Are you crazy?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT is an example of something that could be dropped to focus on bugs. I have yet to see a single person who enjoys the V'Ger loop. Just cancel that series and put those devs on bug fixing. Though, as has already been said, the only real fix is redoing the backend from the ground up, and realistically that would mean shutting down the game and making a new one a year or two later...

[lunar ocean]

Does your team work on a live service game that lives and dies on having a stream of content? Not all development is the same. Your team being in a position where the entire team can be diverted to bug fixing for an extended period of time doesn't mean that it's simple for everyone. I mean, the fact that you think developers know the cause of all bugs at all times shows that whatever you're working on must be incredibly simple. There are also other things to consider here. This is a licensed game. They might be required to get certain content out at certain times and can't just up and push everything back 6+ months fix the game. It might not even be possible to truly fix it at this point depending on how deep the background issues are. But sure, let's just assume that they fired all but one person and have AI doing everything for some insane reason...

[fleet moss]

Just a reminder.

[warped vault]

Can we just switch these to officer depot tokens? Ive maxed all the officers in the Transporter patterns, they havent been updated often enough, at least could use the depot tokens.

[lunar ocean]

Am I supposed to deny reality and just be angry about everything no matter what because Scopely is as evil as every other corporation? If anything, you should have just let them quit to send a proper message...

But fine, I take it back. Get every developer, everyone in marketing, the community managers, corporate, shareholders, and the cleaning staff all on bug fixing. Sorry.

[ivory rain]

But let's be clear about this. Are we users supposed to buy things out of pity? I couldn't care less what's going on behind the scenes... We users only buy if the product is good and if the game is worth it. But the way things are going right now, with the game, I'm absolutely not going to spend another cent... What for...?

[pliant wadi]

Since you insist on splitting your player base, could you make sub 51 and 51+ announcement channels so I don't need to see the... stuff.. that has no application to my game and will not for several years at this rate? Thanks.

[muted shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/ta-da-house-md-hugh-laurie-gregory-house-voila-gif-2851338143647180191

The fact that they expect you to sink Thousands into the game at 71+ is a complete turn off. Then they just roll out one massive turd after another and say Tada.

[lunar ocean]

Trust me, you won't feel that they're "splitting the playerbase" once you actually get to G5. Making separate events for mid and high ops was the best decision they've made in years, and frankly mid-ops are the ones getting the benefit here. I get being annoyed by seeing things you don't care about though.

..................... why

[limber oriole]

You know out of all these problems, notifications have never really worked, but this is hilarious... 3 minutes after I get Notification of my shield expiring in 10 minutes, I come into game having No Shield! 🤣

[pliant wadi]

I just don't want to get the 95% of notifications that have no application to my game, and won't ever if I can avoid it

[lunar ocean]

Why not just quit the game if you never want to go past 50? Seems like a waste.

[pliant wadi]

Lots to do and lots of fun to have without following the commands of money blinded devs

[near moth]

I mean, STFC are the most incompetent coders I have ever seen. If this game tanks, they'd better never put on their resumes that they worked on this game. They would never find another job

[wet fiber]

Laggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg,takes 10 whole seconds to see how many ships are in a base, what are you doing FFS!

If this will be the same for incursion next week this discord will explode and be on fire

[near moth]

honestly probably should not run those, just work on the game

i am skiping arenas just because i dont want lag rage

[tranquil roost]

The officers available with Depot Tokens are actually usefull in todays game and require to be 'brought' to maxx them, whereas officers available in TP are older and more 'meh'. To give to Depot's for TP would affect the bottom line.

[orchid timber]

Whatever happened to changing up the officers in the Admiral's Officer Recruit "every few months?"

[coral dagger]

I hear they're going to switch them up when G5 scrapping is released

[fluid mist]

that makes sense as they ain't ever going to release g5 scrapping there's no money in it for them after all

[rare vale]

<@&509690795536941056>, these were in the bulk refine previously. Why were they removed?

Also, the epic FC credits to Sigma FC is available for bulk refine, but resets every. Single. Day. This is annoying to say the least.

[marsh jolt]

on sliders now, you can claim as much as you can afford whenever

[valid grove]

Au contraire. My text was a critique of the whole Scopely company system, not merely their short-term developer prioritization.

“Different teams work on different things” is the direct result of priorities, organization, and ultimately company goals.
Which, in this case, I believe are heavily leaning toward “make money no matter what.” I’m sure you’ve noticed the increasingly aggressive and coercive sales measures too - especially since they now get pushed into everyone’s face on every login.

You are talking about dev logistics. I am talking about the whole company and it‘s goals.
I fully understand why a company does not put literally every developer on bugfixing. My point is that it is absolutely possible to allocate more resources toward improving the core experience - if that were a priority. Companies do this when something actually matters to them.

What the inclined observer can see instead is continued heavy investment into monetization systems and revenue-driving features while long-standing technical, architectural and gameplay issues remain unresolved, some for years.

That is not a question of team organization, it’s a strategic decision against player experience and in favor of „more money“.

[lyric otter]

so....when are the VGER spawn gioing to be fixed...hitting 120 over 2 days is still difficult when they dont respawn. No one has the time to keep coming back to hit a couple of hostiles then wiat 5 mins

[coarse sundial]

any reason done all channgles for vega this week but chanagle track to day on 4/6 comlpeted yet all daiys done

for channgle track

crew i found for vega like to days is anaroax tucker karn for the fighters i use lesiey row and seka

but since doing them every day buged channgle track makes moew sad

[sage wadi]

Wow

[coarse sundial]

inroy the nx crew truned out to be best for most part

[sage wadi]

Poor moew

[ripe hemlock]

I fully agree with your statement but also i think they have stopped listening for feedback years ago and blindly running this game into ground (speed run).

How else can it be explained that they keep pushing unfinished/faulty new content while their playerbase is complaining about existing content not working properly.

And Scopelys head game developer Conor is in full damage control mode and lacks any responsibility and a plan how to get the game back on track.

This game is doomed right now and no change in sight.

[coarse sundial]

its a shame on the hole i like the game and comounity

next to some of the great mmo 20 years old stfc is still reltivey young in compersement but the players and the cmounity make it what it is

[ripe hemlock]

I mean, the fact that you think developers know the cause of all bugs at all times shows that whatever you're working on must be incredibly simple.
It is that simple!

Cycle 1:
You have you whole pool of programmers divided in different teams (each team working on specific parts of the game code). DevA is writing new code and DevB (in the same team) is evaluating code from DevA and vica versa. After the new code got evaluated it gets put to the new branch and now the new branch gets put on a test environment where game testers get access to the new additions and find bugs/report back to the dev teams.

Cycle 2:
Now the dev teams are working on fixes/improvements and the new branch gets its fixes and then it will get passed over to the live server.

Cycle 3:
Player feedback from live server will get adressed and the new branch gets its final polish.

Now loop back to Cycle 1 for the next branch.

If you are a game developer studio without the 3 cyles implemented as explained above (a.k.a. working quality control management procedures) then you are not doing your job properly and its only a matter of time until you are failing as a business.

Having a working QC is in the responsibility of the management/head game dev of the game developer studio.

[sage wadi]

But addicted players make it available to do it with Cycle 1 alone.

[ripe hemlock]

Sure, but even cycle 1 is not implemented properly if you look how Scopely operates:

• They have pushed broken code direct to the live servers and claimed that they didnt even know that it was broken.
• Feedback from players is getting filtered thru this discord/ticket system by the moderators/community managers/customer support and another unknown layers to make sure only a small percentage of feedback ever arrives to the right people in charge.
• it seems that none of the game devs actually ever played the game on a live environment as we do. How can this be? Dont those guys have smartphones?

This is going on for years already. It is not an oversight - its negligence.

[sage wadi]

It is. Sad because I really enjoy the game itself.

[fluid mist]

this is the first game company I've ever interacted with that feels like they don't even play their own game almost like they know it's broken and refuse to fix it but continue to work on it because of fomo driven customers that keep shelling out even know the game is broken and will never get fixed while they spend.

and sometimes those fomo players do come in here and try to vent or even stick up for scopley. Which tbh is quite funny you can tell newer players or the addicted to game players from the messages they send and words they use

[cunning oriole]

How can you get your SS Revenant to T11 when it needs epic parts but the refinery at T10 only gives uncommon and rare?

[fluid mist]

now thats a good question

I dont know the answer as I'm not there yet but I'd love to hear the answer

[finite mural]

You need to be ops 61 for epic parts

[cunning oriole]

Was guessing as much, their descriptions are wrong again, what else is new

[urban verge]

Why do the G6 chest reward pulls give more G5 than G6 in rewards. Every week I pull my rare and epic chest for G6 only to see its almost all G5 rewards. It's so silly.

[restive wraith]

Just levelled up to Ops 71 and what a mess the Veil is - to do dallies need 3m mined - with about 60 nodes - with 20 servers mining with double parking ships all over the place - need more nodes or reduce the dallies limits - as surely is not workable!

[ivory rain]

Welcome to the Scop reality… You are expected to spend a lot of money quickly to reach higher levels… Here, you are forced to spend money.

[restive wraith]

Square pegs and round holes come to mind.....

[ivory rain]

Or in other words: aggressive marketing.

[restive wraith]

Just going to ignore mining in the veil....3m rss at 600k per hour max - 5 hours of mining but OPC after 2.5hours - means more time staring at the miners!

[lunar ocean]

Either way, you're right about the aggressive monetization, but I think the issue and potential solution being oversimplified. It sucks, but we have to accept that products exist to make money so they aren't going give up months of revenue to rebuild the game like that. I'm not defending them. I'm just a nihilist.

[olive nacelle]

Disagree completely, no one is forced to spend money, I’m 71 and will be for months exactly because I flat refuse to spend money in G7, due to the utter stupidity of Scopley.
I would suggest as more and more get to G7, less and less will bother spending, as unless you’re willing to drop thousands of €$¥£ you will still see almost zero progress.

G7 is Scopley’s biggest own goal to date. Just not enough normal players there for them to realise it.

[pseudo thicket]

Getting the same, must be our internet connection. 😉

[ivory rain]

You just need to realize that paying doesn't make you better, it just makes you faster... Because in the end, everyone reaches their goal... I've spent too much on this nonsense... That's enough... not another cent for pixels.

[cyan isle]

Walmart sells products to make money. And they don’t see everything for absorbent prices. It’s largely argued. They sell more than anybody in the world because of their low price prices. Scopley is selling a fleet commander seat for 400$. I bet they told a handful. And made no money. They could have sold it reasonable. And everyone would have bought it. They stand in their own way

[ivory rain]

They'll sell it for 400 for a while, and then for 100... They'll have made more money that way...

I got it and was shocked to discover that you can no longer unlock the next one in the outpost, but only in the Syndicate…

[sage wadi]

So it is better to wait the f2p refinery way.

[fallow widget]

Why does the GS31 tier 9 upgrades require sigma, but the warp core requires ops 61. Sigma may have been only aquirable at/after ops 61, but it is given out in multiple packs now.
I've been told in various places that a sigma upgrade converts the ship to require sigma during repair. This creates a huge costs strain and could actually completely upgrade ships out of usability.
Sigma should either be 100% blocked from using until after ops 61 or ships should not require sigma til their ops 61 upgrade....

[ivory rain]

I've come to the same conclusion now... spending money on pixels is no longer worth it... €400 for the slot was completely pointless.

[cyan isle]

They won’t make more money. They’re losing money by pricing so high. People won’t buy it. And eventually those people quit. Sale lost

[valid grove]

I don’t disagree that the goal is to make money. And if the product were above a “decent enough” baseline, I’d gladly pay my monthly share for it. I’m generally very happy to support someone who provides a platform for me to have fun in my free time.

My point is that how a company chooses to make money is a strategic decision. Some companies invest heavily in product quality and long-term retention (ArenaNet with Guild Wars 2 is a prime example). Others, like Scopely, prioritize short-term monetization, even if it degrades the player experience.
What I’m saying is that all the issues - the lag, the quadruple paywalls, the extremely fast content cadence, the 30K item inventory clutter, the uncontrolled power creep, and the fact that arc launches without major issues are the exception rather than the rule - are not by accident.
They are conscious decisions, either to implement these systems or to accept their consequences without allocating sufficient resources to address them.

This game, and our player experience, are exactly where Scopely’s strategy intends them to be.

[fallow widget]

the dock purchase did that too. if you bought one, it removed the free one from the exiles store. Those are, at least, labeled. fleet cmdr slots are not.

[coral dagger]

I learned the Scopely flow chart and it's why I haven't bought more than the regular BP in a year.

Roll out a problem -> Introduce paid fix -> By the time the paid fix comes I no longer care about that problem

[pseudo coral]

Cosmic recruit please 😇

[somber cloak]

Holy cheese & rice this game runs like dog water! 💩🎱💩

[somber cloak]

Seriously fix this bloody lag, it's ridiculous

Or don't and let your game die out 🤷

[gusty fractal]

Arc February 2026 is ending so I feel vaguely responsible to send this feedback.

This is the best Arc, better than the previous and certainly worse than the next one: no bugs, no problems, no issues, no contents, fewer and fewer players to interact with, even if receiving a vulgar message can be considered an interaction.

[civic quest]

No mat spend SMS to go with the SLB? If not, ain’t worth it. Guess I’ll keep saving. 😒

[cinder shadow]

what is happening with the game?? already rebooted the game app several times and it wont log in, still 96% every try

[glacial spruce]

Scopely is happening to the game.

They've prioritized packs and cash grabs over game stability for so long that they can't fix it anymore. At this point you'll have better luck stacking marbles in a frictionless environment than getting Scopely to fix anything in a meaningful way.

[nimble sentinel]

<@&509690795536941056>

Game non responsive

Open tickets and cricket's

[graceful cedar]

This is the ultra recruit tab? I had same thing, opened ticket and they closed it 5 minutes later.

[nimble sentinel]

They never responded its still open

I don't open tickets very often but this is ridiculous

[chrome vortex]

<@&509690795536941056> One way you can improve the game is to allow people to open tickets. I tried to let you know about a bug in discord nothing happened. So I went online to try and open a ticket. My problem is not listed which means you don't know.
So perhaps getting with these help shift people and fixing the script so somebody can say no it's not listed below. This is the problem.

[crystal furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/baylor-baste-turkey-gif-20959414

They don’t answer them anyway. They say, “ we will get you in touch with a commander “ then a couple hours later, “we haven’t heard back so your ticket is closed”….

[late idol]

It is my understanding that the only free way to earn Uncommon Skill Points is by upragading the Command Center. Therefore, there is a limited number of Uncommon Skill Points? I have my Command Center maxed out at lvl 60. I did not see any other way to earn them without paying?

[tepid bramble]

Yup, and now they are out refines of nothing.

[stone roost]

It's funny as well because they'd make so much more money if the shop wasn't horrifically over-priced for what you get but the only way I see a discount coming at this point would be a harbringer that the game is 6 months to a year from being shut down for good

[lunar ocean]

Can't disagree with any of this. (Though, again, with licensed games we don't know how contracts line up and if they could actually stop releasing content for an extended period.) I just don't know if the proposed solution of effectively putting the game into temporary, indefinite maintenance mode is something realistic. Everyone here seems to feel that because they stopped spending until things improve, the next effect of stopping development to fix the game will increase revenue down the line. That's possible... It's also possible that people get impatient if it takes too long or if they don't fix absolutely everything, they lose money from the people who are investing in new content, and the game just shuts down before it has a chance to improve. Just continue to speak with your wallets, and the dominoes will fall where they're meant to.

I don't think diverting resources can fix the game at this point though. There's too much baggage. We're at the point where they'd just need to put this into maintenance mode make a new game from the ground up. The thing is, what's incentive? Companies suck. They aren't going to invest money that's not likely to be made back just to make people happy. It sucks, but that's reality.

[lunar ocean]

Titan-A turn-in. (So that task isn't F2P if you have CC maxed.)

[late idol]

I did not know about that one, i must have missed it. Thank you.

[minor brook]

Eeeeh, I will have to get 36k BP pts to top the owerflow tomorrow.... I got 10k short due to lags earlyer BUT had 10k compensation same day.... Now I will be 16k short if we don't get 36k tomorrow....
Am I the only one with this problem? I KNOW I did em all 🙁

[static crow]

Please remove the extra lag pack from the store. People keep buying it.
Also, the game is getting worse every day, and I'm refusing to spend another penny until I see that it's A) stable and B) devs follow through with their promises.

[finite raft]

<@&509691205798592532>
does anyone know if Outposts have been fixed yet? I just noticed i've run out of plunder.

[finite mural]

They have not, it's still being looked into

[finite raft]

Thanks for the heads up!! This is a painfully slow loop as is this multi week speed bump is... unfortunate 🙂

[sharp shell]

more g6 g7 mining nodes need to be added

[graceful cedar]

So, now the private chats are being purged daily? The decline of in game QOL continues.

[glacial spruce]

We're vger orions changed? I used to be able to kill a couple lvl 63's and am now getting killed by the first lvl 60 I try to hit.

Disregard my last post. Somehow Pelia ended up in the below deck crew of my preset that I haven't changed in 2 weeks.

This game is collapsing in just about every way.

Amazing

[oblique sail]

Well, it looks like the viger Orion's are super charged again.

[oblique dew]

I had this screen, only when claiming weekly mission key.

[cunning oriole]

What's up with the disappearing thumbnails in the different stores like refinery, gifts, ...

[rose ruin]

Server 404 Massive Server Laggs .... This is unplayable... It's been like this for weeks now. Stations are unselectable. It takes 10 seconds just to be able to attack them. How is an incursion supposed to work under these conditions? It's impossible, I'd say. The NPXs behave exactly the same way.

[latent timber]

So this is just flat out lying?🫠 👀 🤔

[runic grove]

Nice to see the Vger adjustments seems to have actually made them harder 😂 How hard can it possibly be?

[urban verge]

The orion vger hostiles have me wanting to quit the game. This arc actually started out nice. Half way through you added hostiles that are impossible for many to kill. It's been weeks and nothing has been done. <@&509690795536941056> please please adjust them this is so crazy. I'm not poorly researched and I have good crews. I've tried every combo imaginable and at ops 69 the best I can do is 4 ships if I'm lucky max buffed and then that's it. The crazy thing is at ops 68 I could finish it on almost one hull. Now it's literally impossible.

[sage wadi]

When will this be fixed? We own the territory. Shield can be only applied if I load game in galaxy view.

[humble lotus]

Did they release all this Arcs storyline ?

[finite mural]

#🛠-known-issues

[vivid nebula]

Clear the arc designer didn’t give much thought (as usual)if people are having this much difficulty to find the arc missions that it has to be pinned as a known issue

[sage wadi]

You are too used to it, back in the early days every arc had planet missions.

[woven atlas]

Ok, why can't I log in?

[twilit agate]

Vger hostiles are too strong... Please reactivate janeway, suder and snw officers!

[tepid bramble]

One to one on Orions using cheese tactics does NOT make for fun play.

Daily reminder that you’re giving away the game here.

Both literally killing the game, AND showing us that you’re intentionally doing so.

Carry on.

[haughty umbra]

Orions will probably be adjusted but I have no issue with them

[open turret]

<@&509690795536941056> Why have we still heard no feedback on the G7 armada event that is keeping lots of G7 players from finishing the Scotty's Research events? There is no event today for rare research to start the last one. Any non G7 player could finish any armada for credit and only G7 players were punished by having to complete the new open armadas(utterly ridiculous). WHAT PERCENTAGE OF G7 DIDN'T FINISH compared to all others??????!!!!!!?????

[silk prairie]

Yep. Just asked for update on that same question. Arsenik said its passed on.... but 3rd day nothing.

2/13/26 The team is investigating the Retaliation Attacker wave issue, and we will update you as soon as we have more information.,

2/16/26 Outposts: We are aware of the issues raised this week and work is in progress.

Scopely, The outpost wave issue is still ongoing as of 2/22/26 is there a resolution in the near future? Scopely invests man hours in PR events instead of correcting the current and ongoing issues with your product.

[cinder hatch]

It’s part of Scopely’s hate campaign against G7 players

[open turret]

Maybe we should not release something new like the Open Armadas when we are sending so many people away from the office for a week on a cruise?

[tepid bramble]

It is a company policy to punish advancement.

[hushed rock]

Alliance tournaments should be fun working with our alliance players. But I spent hours trying to get 800 points at 2 points per ship. I don’t have the level even though I am 42 ops and using D4 class tier 9 ship. Warp range is 87… I gave up after 400 points.

[woven atlas]

Why do the ships look like the textures have been downgraded?

[junior sierra]

You should instruct your service team to just believe people that have wave issues until your game is stable. Also I’ve been waiting a days for a reply ( 3 full days on ticket ) and have another ticket to file due to game instability. Hurry up.

[lucid wing]

I suspect all the high level decision makes are all on a cruise right now and not very interested.

[vague compass]

<@&509690795536941056> Don't forget the compensation for all the new bugs. EU is still waiting.And don't be frugal, just one month of mistakes!

[idle portal]

@tidal notch you know the quality of game is so disappointing at the moment my money is going to other stuff.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ atleast with lego and light my bricks, i get quality for my money 🧐🧐.

[warm harbor]

Any word about golden shields for the New England/ny/nj area with the blizzard coming/starting now

[woven atlas]

Since nobody answered about the texturing, I'm guessing that Scopely dropped the textures in order to match the abilities of their 8 bit servers....

[thick flax]

do you think they care if you dont spend $20 on battlepass when their employees are right now on a $5000 ticket cruise? 🤣

[cosmic coral]

I was going to write a whole paragraph about issues and the game but to be honest I'm just done with stfc now, time to move on, the new Voyager game is where I will be spending my time, Scopely had the fan base in their hands but have blown it all for greed, see you on the other side, live long and prosper 🖖

[signal raft]

Hmm, take FC Kirk off for these stupid V'GER orion hostiles and since putting back on none of his bonuses are working and that is after multiple restarts and localisation clears so I now have multiple ships that are stuck in systems they warped to under their own power and everything costs more to do. Cheers

[past egret]

Can we get sliders for ship parts? Changing explorer to interceptor 414 at a time needing 50k per part takes awhile lol

[placid ermine]

can the lower ops get the 60th cosmetics/promo code, too? im assuming cutofff point was 35+ ...?

[analog tartan]

LAG LAG LAG in Surges is brutally terrible.

[potent blade]

It would be nice to see something different in the next Tournament store. Newer officers and tech hint

[opal pike]

@rigid vapor i always thought that when you do dozens of researches, cash in a whole bunch of faction favors and upgrade your station and buildings like crazy over the course of a few days for events, Alliance Tournament or just for the heck of it you were supposed to GAIN power and not LOSE power... 🤷‍♂️

[opal pike]

...and now "clear localization" doesn't work. Get it together, Scopely [pfft, like that will ever happen]

[shell jungle]

they don't know we exist

[coral dagger]

Take off all your FCs that give Crit Chance, have someone Mantis Sting your ship, then Summon it to VGER space. It's as stupid as it sounds but it works.

[vocal tinsel]

I went 71... That's by far the worst gaming experience ever... Who can't calculate how many mining nodes are nessesary? Scop has the worst IT and Management team ever! Exchange your staff... All of them. <@&509690795536941056>

[rough niche]

Yeah...seen the video. It will soon be updated by scoepless im sure. 🫨🫨

[rough niche]

Yep. Had the same. Spent what seem like forever hunting these and kept getting partials.

Then i saw i left pelia below deck. 🫣🫣

[mental cloud]

Not even gonna complain. Just laugh cause how is this not funny? 🤣 🤣 🤣

[torn blade]

INCURSIONS. Having these on a weekday, especially a Thursday for US, makes my favorite game event, a non-starter. Please consider only running them on weekends going forward. Saturday has been a gift and a blessing. Please give it back.

@mossy acorn @odd anvil @stable zinc

[gentle hill]

Yes, cant participate on Thursday or during the week. Weekends are best

[wanton rivet]

could y'all not shut down the choice reward store as soon as the event ends. Cause my BP just paid me out and there's nothing to spend them on.

[vivid ginkgo]

it still had 2 days
very nice scopebad

[stable zinc]

I completely agree. So many on our server can’t participate due to work on Thursday and Friday. Please go back to Saturday. If you’re spreading them out for server stability, maybe 3 weekends would better serve the player base.

[snow crown]

Can you open the choice rewards store for another 24hrs? How can we spend rewards we just got if you close the store?

[hollow pike]

The last choice reward tokens were earned several days ago

[wanton rivet]

Sure, but they autoredeemed today at reset, so if you had them sitting there, now they give them to you, but you can't spend them.

[granite marlin]

This is also a non sequitur as the rewards store showed 48 hours remaining 35 minutes ago.

[outer latch]

Somehow the BP scoring got screwed up for many in my Alliance Ops 20-50 and we fell short of completion by 6k points. Kinda odd for a 20k points at a time BattlePass. Ugh.

That's the BP Overflow to be exact. I'll expect this to be remedied any moment now. Cue the Jeapordy theme. 🙄😅

[pallid sapphire]

Can we please get the choice reward token store back up for 24 hrs

[flint elm]

Pretty sure I received a compensation chest to deal with that last week

[glacial spruce]

That's just it. I didn't leave Pelia below deck. My preset got changed even though I haven't changed it in 2 weeks.

[woeful nymph]

If this artifact can’t be sourced FTP to max it ,this is another example of Scopely creating a problem (limiting directives and reducing plunder etc) and selling a solution for the problem they created

[clever orbit]

please put choice store back up for a couple of days, taking it down right after AT ends, when most save spending those tokens for AT means people have very little time to spend if real life gets in the way, and people that spent on battlepass lose all the resources

[dire scaffold]

Whats going on with the serene squall auto defence buff now suddenly having over an hour cooldown? I haven't seen this is any of the patch notes!

[brisk veldt]

I’ve had a repeated issue with the UI in the alliance tournament store. I’ve accidentally clicked on 2 items I didn’t want/need because I was scrolling and the UI took it as a click.

[dire scaffold]

Re the serene squall buff cooldown - clearing localization cache and restarting the game resolved it for me. When did this new 'feature' (aka bug) creep into the game? It was fine yesterday

At a closer look its actually the expiry timer that gets stuck and doesnt (or didnt) reset when docking the ship or blowing it up

So as the timer was still active I couldnt reapply the buff

[subtle rivet]

Please open the arc event store again

[cobalt veldt]

Why is the choice coin store closed already? We normally get a few days after tournament

@raw fiber

[storm oracle]

You fix the game tomorrow?

[somber orchid]

Only if they extend it which they don’t always

[pallid sapphire]

Stop closing stores the same day the event ends.

[coarse sundial]

turn off add option for pcks this causes more lag

[lilac wigeon]

Could you please fix the visual lag in surges? It makes taking part in them very frustrating and thus no fun at all

[coarse sundial]

fix all the game

[latent timber]

this is not the Outpost speedup we wanted (13/72 Waves remaining btw)

[clever orbit]

you get to speed up 3 minutes of a 6 hour outpost, what more do you want?

https://tenor.com/view/more-gif-19861086

[latent timber]

currently my outpost was sped up 37 waves sooo 185 minutes XD

[clever orbit]

my bad 😛

[coarse sundial]

4.5mins x72 waves

wait 4 min per realation x72is so long

but then why i run them over night

come back in morning done

[latent timber]

currently it only takes 6 hours if you are lucky ._. like mine just now finishes in 3 hours because half the goddam waves are missing

[final plinth]

As I mentioned in
#👾-bug-reporting message
My V'Ger Challenge Sweep research apparently only works if I kill L71 hostiles with my Excelsior. This is silly. The research is available with a T5 Excelsior. It basically is useless. It is meant to make this daily 20 hostile 2-ship grind a 1 ship 10 hostile grind (once you get your ship to T10). Any V'Ger Fighter scoring for your excelsior should complete the daily challenges.

[latent timber]

well wasnt it kinda obvious that this would be EXACTLY like it would work? when did a sweep ever lower the lv requirements for stuff you had to kill?

[final plinth]

because I already CAN kill them. it makes not sense.

[slender monolith]

its one of those silly things that makes sense if the ship and research has always been there, they just put the ability to get the ship to your actual level behind a wallet gouge

[final plinth]

Just stating what my expectations as a paying customer are

As the research is in the shp-tree it should be useable once you can research it.

[latent timber]

it is usable once you research it. if your ops equals that of the excelsior tier range....

[somber orchid]

lol just took my Excelsior to T5 guess I won’t be bothering with that research

[slender monolith]

well, its ok if your regular Vger hostile bashing is also around level 59

definitely would have been useful to know that, at least theres no real negative to researching it, just not a very productive use of time or resources

[latent timber]

it was obvious and expected to be like that though. freebooter sweep also only worked on freebooters with at least the level you had to hit your ops. only thing nobody could have expected is how the transogen sweep turned out

[final plinth]

that's a different thing. Freebooter hostiles were about the same difficulty as your daily grind

It will take me another 3 months or so to take the ship to T10, at T10 I probably can kill the 71s - at t5 64 seems to be the limit

[slender monolith]

i personally had hoped it would be tied to the Excelsior tier too, but you live and learn

[latent timber]

that would mean a g7 who struggles with their vger would only have to tier the ship to t10 to be gucci? they want the wales to buy the packs to upgrade it quickly XD

[slender monolith]

i know

[somber orchid]

Sadly they seem to be pulling stuff like this a lot

[slender monolith]

its not really unreasonable, for exactly Elons point

[latent timber]

like every other special ship tahts added to the game? 👀 basically making it useless for g6 unless you invest tons of money right away?

[somber orchid]

😂

[finite mural]

Need to upgrade that ship, then the sweeps research will be useful, heh

[latent timber]

its just a novelty thing really thats nice to have once you get there. no make or break research

[slender monolith]

Its one of the things i miss about being G4, ships got introduced that were aimed at my Ops

[somber orchid]

lol by the time I upgraded it to be able to do a 64 I’ll probably be ops66

[slender monolith]

thats gotta be, what, T7?

hmm, maybe T8 for the 64s

[kind vale]

Without a timeline and the event to use these ending in less than 20 hours, this announcment is as useless as contacting support to get this resolved when it happened 5 days agi. #⭐-official-announcements message

[final plinth]

you have a couple more upgrades installed, also your crew might be better.

[latent timber]

yeh shield armor and 1 weapon. didnt have the ability upgrade though

with lv 25

i d guess there is a massive difference in power as you go 70/71, so i doubt you can punch up much below t10 if at all

this crew is awesome though

[wind prism]

Please we need scopley to make money. Launch another treasury. If you have them every other day image all the $$$$$$$

[latent timber]

who buys them though... their value sux

[cosmic knoll]

because players can earn a free unlock once every 3.5 months they made sure it sux - then expect ppl to buy it ... shows you that the krakens in this game never actually worked for their money

[wind prism]

lol I’m trying to help stupid scopley earn more $$$$$

[cosmic knoll]

scopely dont care

we been trying to get them to earn more money for 6 years, and the only thing the6y listened to us about was:

nothing

[wind prism]

They care only about $$$$$. If they cared about game and players. GMConor would have been fired.

[cosmic knoll]

revenue dropped 40% over the last year, and now they decided that support actually hands out some form of compensation. thats the only change.

[latent timber]

yeh, 70 is the max. despite not having much more "power" score it is basically invincible for T5 excelsior

[obsidian topaz]

Did they get rid of the bonus refinery. I got the tokens and no refinery popped up

[clever orbit]

choice reward store is back up , thanks!

[marsh jolt]

try chang, suder, seska as well for comparison on excelsior with carol, torres, joachim etc below

[nova sierra]

Make scopely great again.... build all of Rippers mods into your app at no charge....

[thin stump]

Okay this cinematic is legit bad-a and made with ALL in-game footage. Oh yeah, play STFC.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBqfjgz1wHg

[warm field]

Recall a ship and it just stops in that same system. So you have to recall again. Sometimes more than once.

[signal raft]

Don't suppose you are fixing the GS31 beam today while you're adding more packs when the game is down for maintenance number 117 in February so far?

[dull bridge]

the lag on that beam has to be... at least 3-4 seconds long now and multiple taps.

i saw somebody get killed by a ship their gs31 could have beaten waiting for the laser to fire and then it didn't. that needs to be number 1 at the top of their list with the other major bugs right now because that's a newer ship... and that ship starts at low ops and helps all of g4, g5 and g6 going to 70. which is where scopely would desire all players to be moving forward.

[hushed rock]

OPS 69 attacking OPS 42 base! Is this fair??? Feels like getting hit for being a loser in this game.

[haughty sail]

It makes doing waves with it borderline impossible, hostiles getting to the central thing before beam actually shoots despite you clicking it 5 seconds earlier when they were at the edge of the system. Completely unacceptable

[wild hearth]

and it never used to be that bad - just a prime example of how much the game is being bogged down by all of the junk they've been adding without optimising existing code

[runic bolt]

@raw fiber Did the maintenance actually happen, Server 164 is back up already

[raw fiber]

5 mins before maintenance sir

[forest vine]

What bugs are we expecting today? And lag? Is lag still a thing in STFC? 🤪

[wild hearth]

lag is like the Borg - it expands to consume everything in its path

[haughty sail]

Absolutely disgusting move, this USED to be boosted by the outpost building. You removed it to shove it in a new piece of monetisation

[zenith fjord]

That’s always been a game mechanic, one could say it’s to float the boat of those that have “invested” and make others buy to try and catch up…….

[loud cove]

So basically, after GM Connor’s message, all you are only fixated on is legit cosmetic bugs and a few nonessential mechanical bugs and bugs that only impact whales and their toys. Good job, Scopely. Way to NOT raise the bar and keep with the status quo of shoveling out garbage coding. <@&509690795536941056>

[regal raven]

Why is there no other options other than "RETRY" when maintenance is running? There should be an exit point.

[buoyant jetty]

Still maintenance?

[acoustic geyser]

Nah finished 12 hours ago

[buoyant jetty]

Oh, that’s the new one? 🤣

[opaque token]

yey new patch where they ask as to buy more stuff and fixing art display problems instead of important bugs :D

[wild hearth]

https://tenor.com/view/byrnedavid-dancing-partyhard-talking-heads-gif-8766748912154929337

[marsh tide]

Be realistic if it weren’t for all the in game issues it ruin the fun of coming here to rant( JOKING) 😂

[tepid bramble]

But you’re not really joking. The discord game has been more fun than the actual game for a hot minute 😜

[vivid nebula]

Discord is becoming more fun than the actual game

[marsh tide]

Exactly where I go when game is wonky or broken seems to be be the out of game hang out, I get a lot of laughs half tempted to recommend to scopelely to add a go to discord button on the game maintenance pop up

[serene dragon]

EU 178 back up. Took ages to get in.

[oblique bronze]

“Under Maintenance”. The two most dreaded words for STFC players.

[light sierra]

No Apple update yet?

[finite mural]

There's no download

[light sierra]

🕵️‍♂️👍🏻

[storm oracle]

What download you want? They won't fix anything, only break more

[cosmic knoll]

game in double maintenence already?

[storm oracle]

And then promise us quality over quantity and next sentence will be which new ship they will announce 🤣

[cosmic knoll]

gold members rocket from austin powers

[pliant kernel]

Umm you folks strongly recommend we update the games client but there's no update and the game won't load

[finite mural]

There is no client update

[pliant kernel]

It's not required to update or they haven't released an update yet?

[finite mural]

Not required to update

[storm oracle]

They didn't changed anything besides brought back the Lag and scoring issues so no update needed

[peak scarab]

<@&509690795536941056>
I hope there's a good answer to my following question. How is this supposed to work in Incursion?
It currently takes at least 10 seconds before I can attack a station. The current maintenance could have been used for some useful fixes🤷

[near tapir]

So… I need the kill gorn ships but there’s only hurak in the 66-67 systems. And the daily to deal isolitic damage isn’t working. I got my 10 kills from Hurak ships alright but 0 isolitic damage which isn’t possible

[olive nacelle]

Yup, completely utterly useless would be a high bar for this “gaming” company.

[tepid bramble]

Please, explain it to me like I am stupid 🤔🤨

[finite mural]

wrong hostiles #🛠-known-issues

[quick gale]

The maintenance where we failed to maintain anything is being looked into…

[frozen reef]

@scoply, your solved issue is back again 😄

[quick coral]

Seems like not a day goes by where old and/or new issues come up daily.... I am already taking a break from the game, but this is pushing me more and more towards just archiving and walking away. Seriously, fix the game! We have been yelling this for years, and you all would rather sell packs than fix the gosh darn game.

Make a good game, people will spend money.

Make a bad game, people will walk away.

[tepid bramble]

Soooo, Scoply problem?

And they gonna fix it or blame us?

[woeful nymph]

I did mine at reset knowing this would likely happen with maintenance . #winning ;). Who needs version control?…lol

[cosmic knoll]

nothing gets fixed in the game because ppl are not allowed to voice honest opinions 😂

[olive nacelle]

This 100%, they are all on the gravy train and not one of them has the minerals to actually just be honest.

[subtle hollow]

Nobody from 709 is able to login. Is this maintenance gonna end anytime soon?

[woven atlas]

So Why is it that when I open Uncommon or G4 uncommon chests I get almost no rare directives, but when I open rare or G4 rare chests I get a ton of Epic directives? At this point I run more Epics than I do rare.

[arctic pivot]

<@&509690795536941056> I hope the incredibly slow server response when clicking on any base - scan takes aroung 5s to 15s on tuesday at 1pm - is resolved before incurions?! Please, this needs to be addressed prior or else incursion is gonna be a desaster.

[raw fiber]

checking

[subtle hollow]

This is rediculous. I’m done spending money on this game, you can never login anymore.

[analog yoke]

@raw fiber any chance that I can use my paid for pass tokens that I was locked out yesterday at end of alliance tournaments and my ferengi tokens

[signal raft]

I am curious if your peeps are aware that the aim of maintenance is not to install more issues than they resolve?

Fix a typo - Break a hostile is not good maintenance

[dense basalt]

Hoping you can help or direct me to who can. Looking to get more The Godsend shards for the chaos tech. When looking at it there is an acquire button which takes you to the continuum tab ine the refinery but there is no place there that shows those shards

[storm oracle]

Wrong vger hostiles again? They rolled out the same patch like last time? Never seen a game Publisher doing that bad like Scopeley does, Ubisoft is much more better then this and they are bad as well 🤣

[thin stump]

Because the comments in here are actually creative unlike the game

[carmine yew]

Again there are much more important fixes to be done in the game than silly little artwork fixes

[orchid creek]

@carmine yew I still can't do waves on EU mobile , but invading entities gor taken but they won't remove arenas or outposts , which are breaking game more

[urban verge]

Was looking through the patch notes and didn't see any changes for the orion vger hostile. <@&509690795536941056> can this be looked into please. It's been literal weeks of 100s of people here begging for them to be fixed.

[dusky zealot]

A slider for the items in the AT store would be a nice thing 👍 Most times you want to "buy" several not only one

[dense basalt]

<@&509690795536941056> Hoping you can help or direct me to who can. Looking to get more The Godsend shards for the chaos tech. When looking at it there is an acquire button which takes you to the continuum tab ine the refinery but there is no place there that shows those shards

[delicate kite]

Has anyone else noticed the horrible latency when swapping between 2 mining nodes... it is pretty ridiculous these days

[delicate kite]

Like for a 6 second node... when i hop on it starts at 9 seconds and then counts down to 6 before my ship even starts mining.. the math isn't mathing here Scopely

[delicate kite]

jesus more spend mats events.. can you at least make events where we kill hostiles.. mats suck and it's not fun for people who have no mats to spend after endless mat spend events...I think you guys are so out of touch with your own game

[subtle rivet]

For real the level 60 system is in harzard space...

[restive geyser]

What's wrong with you guys?

[fresh cargo]

Is there only one system for 8472 VGER in G6👀 Or do I missed some system. Only find VGER from 61-63 in romulan space🤔

[torpid kelp]

@raw fiber Scopely's clan event, ABL Crucible of War, where you get 10 points for every kill and park your ships in the auto-leveling systems all day, quickly racking up 2000 kills, is really awesome. But now, in the VGER event, you don't get any VGER Bio Ships. Thanks!

[fallow widget]

i found 1 in G5.. 2 if you count the one in borg space

[fluid mist]

well to be fair when they try to fix anything but those things they seem to break the game just saying. Which i know sounds wierd cause when do they not break it but maybe break it worse if thats possible rofl

[unborn patrol]

Is there supposed to be a syndicate event today?

[mighty ravine]

vger bio hostiles lvl 59 are stronger than lvl 61 or 62 ones also fun 😛

[cerulean quest]

Sarris invasion 2.0 🤣🤣🤣🤣 someone really did some hard brain cracking on these events he

[ivory rain]

Sarris and Hurrak were scrapped to launch it under a different name... just a gimmick...

[subtle rivet]

This scoring is ridiculous.

[wispy jolt]

Not worth the time and effort rewards are poor!

[cerulean quest]

Tomorrow something with armadas I think … just a gues … I mean , this is a new event … why do I know 🤣

[coarse sundial]

just not going bother saying how bad this event is worse then serieas no hostiles in event for 66-69 lol

so killing 63-64 2k od kills to complet sms wow socpey suc aks

serasiers invasion aws more enjable

rant over

[digital bolt]

yep - impossible task w/o killing thousands - nice job Scopley - don't you people even test these events to see if they are doable?

[coarse sundial]

think that syas it all for this event

and event mind wipe

https://klipy.com/gifs/laurel-and-hardy-stan-and-ollie

[ashen fossil]

The most amazing RNG for the new event store..... all that effort..... We are not even in the main arc and already I can see people quitting due to being Scopely'd

[loud lintel]

Aggregation space had lvl 63-70 lvl hostiles in there

[balmy pebble]

What on earth is this? Level 58 and I can barely manage level 51, times two. How am I supposed to get those points? Another big joke, Scopely.

[coarse sundial]

yep all thubs down new event

[ivory rain]

This event is doomed to fail again… I'm not going to spend hours hoping to get blueprints, only to end up with measly ship parts again…

[coarse sundial]

2 possible g7 bp

[wise vale]

<@&509690795536941056> If youre going to ask me to spend this long grinding that many hostiles just to reach the first chest, you need to pay me a salary.

I’m paying you, remember?

[cursive peak]

still got fratu chests up as rewards 😆😆

[coarse sundial]

can i just buy pack auto complet

[balmy pebble]

Ich sag’s mal auf deutsch. Le ckt mich da wo kein Licht leuchtet scopely!!!!!!!!!!!!

The gap between whats players want and scopely give us

[analog narwhal]

Scopley, please bring back galactic invasions and archive this v'ger nonsense in its place. This event store has no value. There is zero incentive to kill the hostiles beyond the minimum required for events and almost no incentive to even do the events.

[spiral ember]

Ok, for the V'ger event i have to kill only 1000 hostiles 😅

[balmy pebble]

It's ridiculous.

[balmy pebble]

????????

[fathom willow]

another 1million+ latinum gone because misclick on instant repair for ship. please fix

[silk loom]

<@&509690795536941056>

Canceled the Saris Invasion because it was garbage. Rebranded it as new garbage that's even harder to complete.

Have you fired Conor or the dev team yet? No? Ok, still not spending a dime on the incompetence of management..

[cedar narwhal]

Turn the Latinum spend confirmation on

[fathom willow]

that was the skip notification setting

[hushed rock]

I am leaving the game. The game got too many problems and I don’t want to continue playing.

[pulsar sierra]

Can't blame you

This dumpster fire is without hope of improving

[cedar narwhal]

Yeah, the first setting on your screenshot #💬-general-feedback message. You have it "off", when you turn it "on", you don't have the misclick thing anymore

[tropic crown]

Fire who ever brought back saris and made it worse.

[sharp cypress]

these new hostiles are yet again crazy - seems completely random on beating them at times - killed a lvl 60 vger species in 9 rounds, almost no dmg to cube, then next run I die in 10 rounds - this is just not fun anymore

[pulsar sierra]

They get rid of the fratu key bs and give us another one today. The development team at scopely must be getting down to ideas put forward by the braindead.

[wind dune]

How long should we kill species 8472? I cant kill luckily lvl 59 and that's it...

[wet fiber]

Oh yaaaaaaay Sarris invasion is back with a new outfit, great.....

[signal raft]

Sarris invasion should have never been cancelled anyway while you still have total turds like the mega cube and worms / wormadas in the game. To cancel it because it was "just running events for the sake of running them" and then bring it back but worse just goes to show how entirely detached Scopely are from their own game, the players and anything that doesn't have a financial transaction attached to it.

just shut the game down and open a shop selling malfunctioning electronics or something

[cosmic knoll]

stop using dev accounts to test stuff. is there any wonder why players complain that events are broken (apart from them being actually broken) ...

[fathom willow]

when off, I get latinum spend confirmations for other things, just not ship repairs. so wheres the disconnect? the setting is to skip confirmations. if I enable it, there will be no confirmation. unless the wording is really bad, but then why would I get latinum spend confirmations for other things?

[cosmic knoll]
