Still not working

[loud cove]

I think this day might have put your coin phrase to the test.

[tropic knot]

Second ARC in a ROW where the redeem code does not work ----

Active Duty Recall Program ---- The only people that 'might' benefit from this are officers and people with multiple ALT accounts .... so nothing for most of us. Maybe reward the people that are active in the game .... and then we would recommend STFC to friends.

[balmy shadow]

If I suggested this buggy mess to my friends, Id have no friends left.

[alpine condor]

Maybe fix the game, stop making every purchase $99.99, and having the f2p path to things not take a year, then maybe they would want to come back to the game.

[limber steeple]

Sweet, the redeem code crashed my game

[vast summit]

Game is very broken. Please fix it, Fix it, fix it, fix it………..

[restive viper]

Honestly as broken as this game is, incursion had to be canceled and you're worried about a new arc to sell another ship in a broken game instead of fixing the problems?
Now we're supposed to try and get a hold of players that left because the game was broken that you won't fix try fixing the game stop coming up with new garbage and just try fixing the game because I'm about to leave next.

[odd prawn]

Nice and smooth ops release there I see. Solid work. And you guys want to do this 13+ times a year now. For consistency...nothing to do with desperation or anything.

[prime arrow]

Horrible hostile and scoring lag. Can’t say it’s unexpected, but the fact that we’ve had 3 “updates” since the “we know the game sucks right now” message and it’s not getting any better is pretty crappy.

[shadow coyote]

Yeah. How about no? If you require a pay ship to play your free to play content it is NOT free to play.

And dont give me that "you can earn it in game by getting blueprints." Yeah, 2 per day means itll take 50 days and the event will be over by then. The only way to participate is to fork over the cash for the prints. Get rid of this requirement.

[finite mural]

The ship is needed for the maverick tasks, but the event itself can be completed without it.

[shadow coyote]

You mean THIS EVENT?!

[prime arrow]

Wait until you see the currency cost of pulling 2 per day. 😂

[finite mural]

yes

i completed it without the ship

[shadow coyote]

It literally says kill a borg supressor. Which kills you if you dont have a borg sphere.

[finite mural]

incorrect, you can kill the new hostiles before the final gun goes off

[steep basin]

Ya not everyone can. Ops 56, tried killing the smallest, 55 and ya, not happening

[finite mural]

what ship were you using, and what crew

[steep basin]

Two biggest I have, nsea and rel (1.3b and 950m).. and multiple different crews.. only go 1 round

[finite mural]

relativity, vemet, harrison, e data

[shadow coyote]

I used a Northcut with a DS9 crew at ops 55. I also tried the Vorcha.

[finite mural]

ds9 crew is armadas though

[shadow coyote]

Well my usual combat crew would have been taken out by the other autokill.

[finite mural]

Pilum, sanctus, relativity, gs31, cube, vemet, e data, harrison, need a ship with multiple round one guns

[fluid mist]

you can do it but you must kill it before gun goes off and have very specific things happen+ research to do it you know the stuff that 95% or more of the playerbase doesn't have

[untold frost]

So, to summarize this month's arc we got: No addition to IA, no G5 scrapping, a new ship that is useless outside it's arc and has multiple paywalls, minimal (I'm being generous here) additions to Maverick faction, bug fixes that didn't work, another anemic event calendar, and??????

Do you understand why you're bleeding players?

[steep basin]

Ya, with that crew you gave, 8 hits to kill one. Ya it didn't kill me, but a definite pita

[finite mural]

using what ship?

[vital pawn]

I have to say this, the sheer density of events and building/ship grind cycles... I can't say I'll ever move past 60. I can't do both

[finite mural]

lower deck, voyager crew (neelix, kim, torres, and any damage, iso cascade boosters

[delicate mesa]

New update! Independent archives? Yep. Still only 3 working ships. Just maxed Franklin a. Can’t buy last 3 pillars. Been more than a year. Please fix it.

[austere reef]

Why would I try to get people to join this game when QoL stuff isn’t addressed? Can’t play the game unless hitting just the redeem buttons for 30mins is the game.

Scopely (reading ChatGPT output): We hear you. Our team is looking to streamline the refinery process.

Also Scopely: we will therefore put future content refines within faction stores.

Also, here’s what ChatGPT predicts the Scopely messages are. (TL:DR - Do better, Scopely)

[worthy hamlet]

fyi, lag is still horrible. and releasing a new arc that can only be done if you buy a new ship is not good

[sudden anchor]

So i'm actually correct, wth was that last cota having ops 55 while i'm at ops 54, really misleading people to ops up💩

[astral harness]

The worst part is that I wonder if they even realize it. Every month that passes, it gets worse and worse. I’m not spending money on this game anymore.

It’s a game in which the compensation chest has become the norm.

[acoustic geyser]

Yes they are all present stop lying to us and give us a game that works

[finite mural]

hit some hostiles and it will reset properly

[hollow plover]

Stuff i encounter on a daily basis:

• claiming (a single button!) easily requires multiple seconds
• bulk claims flickering over the same screen over and over
• repairing a ship lacks button-transition to finalize a speedup
• "be in rift to use it"-mirror thing
• ship not responding to attack (big problem in waves)
• ship not transition into warp
• ships position shifting/drifting through system
• ships position not updated after a combat, therefore seems shooting across system whole system
• claiming chest got stuck in black screen
• connection warnings in general, and it seems red is getting more common than last months yellow!
• kir'shara breaks even more (feels like: missing attack transition, so client already tries to attack next in queue?)

[manic sapphire]

@finite mural you claim the new hostile is killable without the new ship. Maybe for some. But when the ability it has literally says it will instantly kill you if you are not using the new ship...why bother even trying?!

[finite mural]

because you can finish the sms and score on the alb/slb

[manic sapphire]

And again you are not even listening to the players

[wild hearth]

but for some reason they don't count towards the Maverick Faction tasks to kill them

[finite mural]

because that requires the ship

and each task is segmented by tier

[wild hearth]

well they don't do a very good job of making that obvious

[finite mural]

the info button

[wild hearth]

title says "kill these things"

[wild hearth]

obfuscation ftw

[sage wadi]

Great. Now you can literally do nothing if 1 of your ship is doing hostile hunting with Kirshara. I can't scan anything with other ships, because it only loads when hunting ship arrives to new target.

Every month this game lose something of it's stability. And you ask to invite back players to this pile of...

[modern robin]

why do come so many bugs for old stuff which already worked.... do you not have unit tests or kind of automation in your tests?!?!?

[vague jasper]

Well glad so may are saying it is working but still not for me. ALL DAY SAME MESSAGE!

[finite mural]

#🛠-known-issues

[vague jasper]

Well then it should say that I already claimed it not that I am not eligible. 🤦‍♂️

[surreal otter]

Hahaha this is the month you toss in "hey get retired commanders back guys!" The arc that introduces the NEWEST pay to play ship, which was revealed a day late due to a massive game breaking bug, while the QoL of the game continues to spiral downwards, and the ship is basically going to take 9 months for f2p to get thanks to the ridiculous credit cost attached.

You genius' aren't going to get players back. Youre going to lose so many more.

[sage wadi]

And happy fools' day

[frigid geode]

The f2p sourcing for the new ship is .. ridiculous.
Unless you happen to earn 50% in some event, that's really tough.

[frigid geode]

Can you provide screenshots of the contents of the PC chests?
Players can check if they already get them - happend to me yesterday

[finite mural]

FRACTURE gives a voucher to exchange in the event store, the 55+ code gave dive bar materials and maverick research materials, not sure what the mid one gave

[arctic pivot]

<@&509690795536941056> Selling a new ship with absolutely no parts in the pack to keep it stuck at T1? I have no words for this. And than, the first pack with parts would not even get you close to T4? Seriously?

[mossy sparrow]

Why its there ship parts instead of mats parts this is absurd . You can get ship parts allot from other things but rss mats don't have to many sources

[raven jacinth]

these are impossible to get f2p daily as the only SOLO task is with the $$$$$ option of the BORG SPHERE NOT GREAT

idont know about gain old commanders back im affraid we might loose current commanders!!

[storm oracle]

They even broke the web store 🤣

[cosmic burrow]

@tidal notch what were the free gifts as I keep getting told I'm not eligible

[haughty sail]

Game just crashed while claiming the independent archive officer claim, opened the box animation but nothing on top, no back button, no rewards shown, just flat out frozen.

[storm oracle]

You're not eligable then 🤔🤣

[spark rain]

Game Review – Critical Assessment

The current state and direction of the game are deeply disappointing.

Instead of fixing existing issues, new content and features are constantly being introduced. This does not improve the game; it only makes it more overloaded and unstable. Existing problems remain unresolved while new ones are added, creating a growing list of issues that is simply not sustainable.

Communication from the developers is particularly problematic. Important information is delivered exclusively in American English, often in a form that can only be described as incomprehensible. Even automatic translation tools, such as YouTube’s subtitles, struggle to make sense of it. This creates an unnecessary barrier for a large part of the player base.

In addition, the game is increasingly becoming a time-consuming commitment that requires several hours of daily play to remain competitive. For players with limited time, it is becoming more and more difficult to keep up or even enjoy the game at all.

Performance issues have persisted for months and continue to significantly impact the overall experience. Instead of becoming more stable, the game feels more complex, less transparent, and increasingly unrefined.

Overall, the game currently gives the impression of a continuous chain of problems, where one issue follows the next. The balance between content, stability, and accessibility is clearly out of alignment.

Conclusion:

An overloaded and technically struggling game with poor communication, increasingly tailored only to highly active players while leaving many others behind.

[raven jacinth]

I agree to 90 per cent of this but as an active player daily and for serval hours per day, I Free TO Play, I don't mind the grind if I feel like there's a reward a goal at the end but, its endless its getting more and more catered to $$$$ and even with grind f2p content is getting to become none existent, I have been playing the game for many years you don't get to level 55 on f2p over night and I'm tired.

[lethal bridge]

I am afraid and shocked how many players still spend 100€ and more per month for so terrible content

[haughty sail]

Same here, I genuinly don't get why people keep dropping so much money in a game that's clearly on the way out AND what you're getting for your cash is getting less and less value when you look at what it does for your daily gameplay. This entire maverick faction seems completely pointless for 99% of the player base, the artifacts are meh and the G7 efficiency stuff, while useful for G7, does nothing for everyone else.

[wise notch]

Maybe Scopely ccan bring back those 100€ Latinum mega value packs. 😉

[sage wadi]

Sending home miners from veil from node through spatial rift gives 0 points for daily mining mission. Just 1 more bugs to the endless bucket.

[wise notch]

just wish Scopely would invest some of the money they get from the "whales" in quality assurance, aka TESTING !

[native lichen]

So after last months issues Scopely not only paywall the main arc events this month but also have the cheek to be asking players to encourage their friends back into the game? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[carmine charm]

You forgot making the new ship f2p path longer as well.

[crisp raptor]

Bring old Player Back Programs are a good idea if the reasons why the old player left the game are solved. But the game have still the same problems like ever. Bugy, to greedy and to you need to mutch time for everything. Just claim all things you want to claim need at least a half hour.

[bold marlin]

You can always tell when the STFC community are up in arms about something.

Coming into this channel and finding Slowmode enabled is never a good sign, 🤣

Quick question for the eternally befuddled at Scopely Tower, why would anyone come back, invited or not, when you you’ve done absolutely nothing to address the multiple reasons why they left in the first place?

I’ve got a level 40 account that I could invite back for the event and its currency but the reason why I stopped playing it, that I have a real life and can barely keep up with the demands upon my time that just one STFC account requires, means there is simply no way I’m stressing myself to indulge Scopely’s fantasy that there’s nothing wrong with the game that playing for 8 hours a day couldn’t fix.

So now that player bribery isn’t working, what are your plans to address the falling player numbers? What kind of Reality Distortion Field inducing mechanic are you going to try next so as to avoid looking in the mirror and realising that’s it’s all your fault?

[iron sedge]

The lack of incursions compo for the workers and the obvious intention of downing 201 as the world incursions champions is the end for me. 7 day shield and we’ll see. Adios Scopely u r a disappointment

[grave quest]

just thought i’d mention this again because i mean this seriously. Help us help you help us.

[balmy iris]

This is a great update and I want to emphasize how happy I am about the direction Scopely is taking with this game.

[quick gale]

April Fools!

The only reason people left this game is due to the bugs, lack of support, continuous grind, lag, lag,lag and of course the over monetisation of everything.

I see some positive reviews on the App Store that must be completely fake as it does not reflect the player experience.

Your complete lack of testing of any of this “content” is killing your player base. As shown by the recent incursion. It was reported by players immediately and it took 3 hours for you to even acknowledge a problem despite many thousands of players affected by changes we didn’t ask for.

The only changes we want is the bugs we already have to be dealt with and quality of life improvements.

Listening to your players is what will keep this game alive, not asking us to con our friends into coming back. If they return l, they will see that nothing has changed because you still behave in the same way or maybe now, even worse.

[manic sapphire]

I always assumed those positive reviews came from people who haven't even been playing a month yet (haven't checked the reviews for a very long time)

[vivid nebula]

Connor is that you?

[fallen spear]

That's either sarcasm or delusion 🤔

[twin tendon]

stfc team open hate players and star trek, no other explanation of the lies insultin and broken game for years now

[brittle reef]

Ehm. I checked. I got the 300 TP, but then they got removed.

[cosmic coral]

https://giphy.com/gifs/Vsl4fGedmYFRC

[fallen spear]

At this point, it is clear that the game is in a downward spiral, or rather in free fall. And yet Scopely acts as if everything is perfectly fine and buries its head in the sand. Customer support either responds with run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter replies or closes tickets at will. Glitches and bugs are rife throughout the entire game, many of which have been present for years, and instead of fixing them, even more buggy, untested and largely monetised content is regularly added. In response to the issue that players are leaving the game due to all these unresolved problems, Scopely has launched an ‘event’ designed to encourage remaining players to bring back those who have left. That speaks volumes about the state this game is in. Scopely is neither prepared nor willing to make the necessary improvements to the game and thus prevent the exodus of players, but instead focuses solely on generating as much money as possible from a game that is functioning increasingly poorly. If Scopely fails to recognise the urgency of improving the state of the game as quickly as possible, then it will soon be over.

[keen loom]

The sheer volume of feedback saying exactly the same thing about the state of the game is deafening.

The fact that no one is addressing that volume of feedback is scary.

[haughty sail]

And the sheer volume of people still paying up is even more scary. So why would they change

[weak grove]

indeed. also if there were reasons to ask people back, we possibly might, but to ask them back in an event arc like this one is pretty much making them leave for all times :D

[graceful spindle]

question does scoply read these comments?

[unreal geyser]

Scopely should check out the 2018 TennoCon gameplay demo for Railjack on YouTube. Digital Extreme did that in two weeks in a cave.....with a bunch of scraps. It wasn't supposed to work. It did. Flawlessly. There were tears.

[tight timber]

Ask people back? No one was interested and worst of all have to face a barrage of complaints about why they had to leave. One person reminded of the time the cute hamster guy, said if people dont take down their negative reviews we would regret it. Friend saw it as a turning point in which led to this. I feel even our server has a very low moral now and alliances are .merging due to the exodus and no new players to join in. So unless the store drops ship prices to $29 and all materials are sold and the gamble taken out of the crates in faction store. They wont be coming back, and others will leave. And that is not including hundreds of new bugs and poor gameplay. I was enticed to play this game by friends and all but one has left. Sigh

[zinc moss]

You mean slowmode isn't always on? 😅

[novel depot]

I think it’s been on for five days straight now. I only started checking when they screwed up the incursions tho. So, longer for all I know.

[fluid mist]

this content for this month was made 6 months ago just like every other arc they make it 6 months before releasing it and use the 6 months to "test" the features get told it won't work or not recieved on happy terms then shrug and release it anyways. They never change anything last minute until its already out and broke something to say they made it a pay wall after last months issue's is giving them more credit than they deserve.

[novel depot]

It’s funny how the player base (including the whales) seems unanimous about no new content for a reasonable period and take the time to fix the QoL/latency issues. Like you have a player base saying they will be loyal and the game is enough right now. No one is complaining about being bored by the lack of content. If anything people are complaining about the density of the content.

I am blessed enough to have the ability to have dropped a very solid five figure sum into this game. Not a whale admittedly, but certainly not a nobody. I’m done spending. You might get a battle pass outta me. But, no new ships and certainly no more more insulting crew packs. If the game passes me by in its current state…well, that’s only more motivation to cut the cord and get my dopamine elsewhere.

[fluid mist]

that should tell everyone what our next step is because scopley sure isn't telling us but they sure are showing us.

[nocturne dew]

<@&509690795536941056> Why are you not able to fix a problem in time, player leave the game because they are so upset about things you messed up and can't fix in 12 hours. I understand the player who will leave, because he has spend money and got the wrong thing ....it couldn't be so hard to controll and fix it....

[coral dagger]

Largest Alliance on our server, only 19 people have completed the AST SMS. That's how bad this Arc is already.

[keen loom]

As an admiral of 104 active players - the sentiment amongst my team is as follows:

Scopley has ignored the player for long enough.
Scopley refuses to problem solve.

If we the leaders of alliances, are going to be ignored, if you refuse to fix your product, if you continue to treat those paying your bills as second class citizens, we can, and will find something else to occupy our time.

Don’t make the mistake of believing we as players, as leaders, who have invested ourselves into the community we have created, don’t have alternatives.

Don’t think for a second that the community we have created is going to stay loyal to a broken company, empty promises, and an under performing game.

You only exist, because we exist.

[opal zodiac]

👍

[fluid mist]

exactly there's always another game and odds are we already own the game we just playing this because we loved star trek. My consoles are experiencing more activity now then they were back before stfc became a game. Games I haven't played or beat years and years ago is more entertaining than stfc. Has less problems, glitches, bugs, freezes and game crashes. Doesn't make me clear a cache 15 times a day. Takes up 60gb to 140gb of memory yet still works better than a mobile game that should only be 130mb yet keeps getting bigger for no reason.

[proper narwhal]

**Scopely is kind of funny; on the one hand, it annoys players so much that they leave the game, and on the other hand, it's supposed to recruit players for this terrible game. The logic escapes me.**🤣

[mental minnow]

I find it curious that defeating a lvl 63 vger orion hostile results in a whopping TEN (yes, you read that correctly) ship xp.

[river spindle]

It’s not for recruiting other players, it’s for cheating players simply connecting with all the fake alt accounts.

[ivory rain]

I wouldn't even create a second account for such poor reward options... a huge effort for nothing.

[upbeat cosmos]

Does anyone else have helps that are stuck? Like you can hit help all day long and the same couple of players just still need help?

This has been going on for days within my alliance

[river spindle]

Most players wouldn’t … but STFC gave a mechanism for some to do it. 😂

[finite mural]

making another account now wouldn't do you any good

[river spindle]

… but if you made them in the past … maybe it’s a trap to catch @weak marten

[torpid cargo]

Very laggy since yesterdays "update" Chest claims crash the game or take 50 years to come through. Too much stuff to weight through for this to be fun anymore. Also for the 8th month straight, the GS31 beam takes way to long to fire. Question to Scopes....whey would I ever buy a ship from you all again, when ships I have purchased the past.....all seem to break for long periods of time. Without being addressed at all. And go thump yourself with the whole "know issues" thread. Bleh....another day i won't be playing. Spending has long stopped for me anyways. You are not creating and running a game anymore, you manage a chop shop for digital pixels.

[rare vale]

Just noticed the changes to the Battlepass. Im no longer getting any G6 ship parts in it, presumably because of my ops level (71). Not that it ever gave enough of them to begin with, but getting zero isnt a welcome change (the last several gave them while I was 71). Heck, I cant build a g7 ship until shipyard 73, so id prefer to continue getting g6 parts

I was questioning if I was going to buy the pass this go around (I always do), but looking at the rewards in this iteration has me leaning heavily towards no this time.

[latent timber]

Holy mother of lag on 402

for 10 minutes i try to claim my event rewards.... multiple restarts and they still looping XD

[brisk summit]

Fix the lag

[fallen spear]

$copely, that's embarrassing!

[queen scaffold]

What a laggy game has became this game🤬

[brittle reef]

What the hell, Scopely. The game is barely running!

[chrome elm]

cleared cache and rebooted 4x and this is what i’m seeing

season passes tab looks the same

[fallen spear]

Game does a lot of thinking (spinning wheel) before it switches screens 😡

[queen scaffold]

Resoooolve this laaaaaaagggggg

[torpid cargo]

Attention Players........They dont care. carry on

[wicked olive]

@everyone There is only one thing we can do to harm Scopely

[queen scaffold]

I don't know if you've noticed, but everyone complains that the game is very slow, and I don't understand how there are still players who spend real money.

[white shadow]

When you know recruitment is down 😂

[tropic crown]

Where heck do we use these?

[wicked olive]

#🛠-known-issues message <@&509690795536941056> how long and how often do you want to look into it ?? FIX IT !!! Fix the lags and fix the bugs... But NO! you put more and morer new Stuff into the game, which make the game more and more worse and instable. I'm starting to think either you didn't want to find the errors or you're too incompetent to fix them.

[valid bough]

<@&509690795536941056> Sorry if this is just another rant of how laggy this game is. But this is pretty much un-fun. Game is not in a state that makes it enjoyable to play; neither feels it like a product you would like to spend on. It seems to exist in a limbo where you still like it enough to keep chugging on through this lag, but every day that passes, hope for improvement gets lost. I would love to see an update if this is going to get addressed after all, or if its just well, the new normal, which is the prevalent feeling now? Because if that is so, then there is literally no point in staying. Upgrading the station and research 'n stuff does work, sure. But real gameplay doesn't, its just tedious while you hope that your next click don't send you in a loop or triggers some obscure error. Get some regular updates going on what is going on with this, so I know how to waste my time here.

[queen scaffold]

Thanks scopely for investigating the delay but it's been like this for at least two months

[fluid mist]

Funny thing is they wouldn't have to give us rewards to recruit people if they actually had a fun and workable game call me crazy but if the game actually preformed as they advertise and was fun with decent rewards they'd have 500k-1m people active daily on this game but we dont know anything were just a bunch of gamer customers who know what gamers want lol.

[haughty sail]

Let me grind out at least 80 vger hostiles in this lag, kirshara breaking all the time, attack animations may or may not happen, freezing mid flight. All signs of great gameplay!

[fluid mist]

nowhere as far as I can tell maybe they'll put something together in mid month or next month who knows they do but they never tell us anything rofl

[fallen temple]

There’s so much lag today the game is unplayable. Considering quitting the game if it doesn’t improve. New content is obviously too complicated for your team to program properly. Take off some time to fix the game

[pallid sundial]

Same crew I used yesterday on Conquerer borg with success not working today, for goodness sake scopely.

[finite mural]

are you running each ship type?

[quick gale]

You literally send a message saying invite players back 5 minutes after sending we are looking at why the games basic functionality does not work. Really??!!

[fluid mist]

Here's a fun thought pay us in packs to recruit players who left and make a system that we give you the players contact info you send the email with our gamertag as a header than you let us pick the pack odds are you might get more people willing to sucker someone in who left(not that anyone who left will come back)

[opaque raft]

A very, very hard NO

And stop sending these bullcrap notifications!

[fluid mist]

ya they just don't get it we might have decided to stay playing this game but we ain't crazy enough to get our friends to come back without the game being fixed rofl

[opaque raft]

Its offending

[fluid mist]

even my post up here is nonsense because we all know if they aren't even willing to let us have packs to invite our friends back then they don't even have enough faith in their own game.

[tacit garden]

Zephran's spamming in GC about Temporal Disconnects amidst the constant lag and instability of the game itself is a delicious example of the disconnect between Scopes and the player base 😂

[restive viper]

What they don't get is they're asking us to beg people to come back to this game when a lot of us are about to leave it ourselves

[tropic crown]

Well at least it wasn’t just me missing smothing.

[empty yarrow]

nighthawk 117 093, WELC -- Have a current build on new laptop. just saw the display show ships, that just blew up, in an ok state instead. pressed on the ship, and it then immediately showed red....so did the rest.....

[fluid mist]

most of us tbh have already left we're just here for the friendships we've made as an alliance mate said about 8onths back he couldn't give a hoot what scopley does from no on nothing they could do would motivate them to try harder or spend anything anymore they log on just to see the game burn and chat with friends. Which says a lot about how the community feels because its not just a minority of us thats fed up or sticking around due to friendships we've made its a majority of the playerbase.

[ionic spear]

Sick of seeing this every time I try and move a ship from base.

[coral dagger]

Trying to play is your first mistake

[ionic spear]

Sorry, my credit card expired. I forgot to pay for the $100 pack to be able to move my ships around the galaxy. My fault. 😓

[rain veldt]

https://tenor.com/view/chapelle-charlie-murphy-laugh-gif-5588639

[fluid mist]

it's ok we've all forgotten to Renee that pack from time to time now most of us just don't buy it period since game doesn't work either way rofl

[rain veldt]

Really? In the state this game is in? Extreme lag. Bugs plus old bugs that never get addressed. More cashcow one trick pony ships, more in game currencies and loops to keep up with. Hilariously tone deaf. Not to mention what do you think a 'friend' would think if the only reason they got invited to come back to this ever increasing rube goldberg-esque clickfest clownshow is so you could win some paltry in game trinkets.

[viscid gorge]

a bit of positive feedback: the 3X battlepass events are nice

[rain veldt]

The stupid endless popup ads in the game, the buy stuff icon where treasury/help button is and the insane amount of game notifications that are not 0 node or being attacked or armada is getting VERY tiresome.

[deft hemlock]

Locking the Maverick events behind having a Borg Ball™ is one thing, but tier blocking being able to score is a bit much. If I can take out a 65 with my Borg Ball, then why shouldn’t that count even if it isn’t tier 7?

[graceful basalt]

Because obviously you NEED to buy the parts package to tier it up immediately so you can score in the event!

Came for the intel brief, stayed for ‘constructive feedback’ the games getting

[jade drift]

Please, please can you lower the requirement for armada tactical cores that are needed to upgrade the building? I have been stuck at level 44 op for 2 months now because of the progress of getting these core is not easy 😑 since for what ever reason I cant just use the 52mil latinum I have to buy some......

[azure oriole]

They really are doubling down on making this game terrible for ftp players, aren’t they? The ftp acquisition for this new ship is the worst yet.

[azure oriole]

We should get the rewards if we chose to keep playing this game any longer.

[pale drift]

Can you please Deal with the lag? it takes like 30 seconds for the game to recognize when armadas are started. then if you try to start one and another alliance is there doing them they can steal it away and you get a pop up saying " another player has started the armada. "

on Server 33

[icy patio]

I love how the general consensus for the returning player event is "Why would I do that to someone I like?"

Pretty sure this place is so insulated from the devs that this all falls on deaf ears unless it's catastrophically broken, otherwise it's just yelling at the yell keepers/collectors and they're volunteers so the incentive to organize/escalate in a meaningful way doesn't seem to exist. I'm happy to be proven wrong, but the proof is in the horrible pudding.

Just crossed the two year threshold for the kir'shara STILL not doing what it was sold to do, why expect anything else to be different?

[candid sandal]

I’m just a boy. Caught in a game that seems to hate its players. Pushing packs and ships, ignoring bugs and gameplay issues.

[icy patio]

two years and they still can't figure out 'one after another, don't forget, repeat'

it's three step loop with a list, c# 101

[mild thicket]

Some feedback on the 'returning player' - Right now, the game is too unstable and you guys have to fix those issues first - There's no point me encouraging friends to return to the game while there are so many glitches / points of lag etc.

Yes, things have certainly got better over the past month (outposts seem fixed, lag is better, but not fixed) etc, but there is still a way to go before I'd be comfortable reiniviting friends back to the game.

[icy patio]

I wouldn't invite an ex back to this game...

And the reward for thrusting someone back into this mess, less than one day of refinery pulls. hahahahahaha, no

[rancid minnow]

Ya know, there are reasons why folks have left the game and unfortunately those same reasons are still there so why in the heck would they want to come back to that??

[icy patio]

https://klipy.com/gifs/ready32oh-gone

cause we have bridges left to burn and they want to help?

[quaint lynx]

Most of my friends left over lack of quality of life improvements, such as search for officers by name, separate inboxes for pvp,pve and armadas, no completed mission log and inventory bloat with no real means to clear it out or organize. Every arc brought a new grind that was impossible to make progress without spending, and every arc saw a new mechanic which introduced more instability to the game.

If you want these players to return, you sure haven't proven it. Give me something to tell them. And QOL does not mean new mechanics. We would be happy with multiple month long battle passes that has a treasury every month. That would give the devs time to work out the next bp.

Throw us a bone.

[outer vapor]

What are First contact relics for?? No idea what to do with them <@&509690795536941056>

[vocal plover]

Can you guys just give us the stupid promo code rewards and move on? Still wont work <@&509690795536941056>

That should be automatic refund. It will never happen but it’s should be.

[versed cape]

Do NOT force us to be involved in Galaxy Chat just to see announcements or event happenings. GC is perpetually filled with trolls and toxic pieces of garbage, and there's a reason people stay out of it.

stop recomending me this I GOT 82 CENTS CND

unless you want my 82 cents then back off like ligit

[bleak gale]

ligit tho i play the game cause i like it but like i see those and im oh cool lets see what not to buy

very hard to get people in and to stay and get them to rejoin if your shoving packs down there throat

[rare vale]

The irony here is that its really only worth 82 cents Canadian.

[bleak gale]

lol

[odd prawn]

Officially the best April fools joke I've seen yet.

[odd prawn]

That's assuming they can actually get into the game and the pop up doesn't lag it out or crash it

[quaint lynx]

I am to the point where I do only the main BP event and my dailies. Grind once a week for the nx and Nsea. Once a month for voyager.

Too many grinds. Too little value in the overpriced packs (stuffing them with stuff we get free by grinding does not add value. Reducing cost does) new mechanics causes my glitches that normally are not resolved by the time the next mechanic is revealed. Officers that were new last year have no real value anymore. A daily grind that can take forever to finish so I skip it. Formation armadas and wave defense causing serious lag. G
Alliance gift boxes you can't open that prevent the claim all from functioning and no serious effort to introduce any QOL improvements.such and the ones I mention earlier.

As of 2025, clash of clans has 8.2 million active daily players. They have a battle pass that costs $6.99 a month.They have one pack that costs $100. Everything else is much cheaper and none of it is required for play to win.

In stark contrast, STFC had a recent peak of 19000 daily players. That's 0.23% of clash. Clash has no bugs they release content when they get the content right and any glitches are resolved quickly.

Get it together, Scopely, or you may be looking at another max exodus. I for one will not be spending any more money on this game until we can scrap Grade 5 faction ships for grade 6 mats and Parts. I am not suggesting any kind of boycott or ban on spending, but just stating my own intentions.

[bleak gale]

OK WHAT IN THE WORLD bro if you wont let me view it dont let me have 2 notifications for it like bro what

[fluid mist]

it'd be a better joke if they actually fixed it since everyone knows it'd break tomorrow anyways

[odd heart]

So I was hoping to buy this new Borg Sphere, haven't bought a ship since Relativity, but I can not justify it.

1. I am tired of endless grinding, unlike Relativity, can't just set it and forget it.
2. Nothing in the Maverick faction helps me progress, I get ship parts from MU
3. You tied it into Alliance events, we have already lost 6 Senior members, again rewards are not really helping the alliance either.
4. The FT

[quaint lynx]

It seems to me like the developers have a template for disappointing ships that they just copy and paste and give it new names. It's the Franklin A all over again

[fair phoenix]

Suggestion
Keep promotional notification separate from general notifications. Now I won't know if my mining is depleted or if my shield is down just to not hear promotional stuff .

[grave quest]

and the fact there wasn’t a peep from then about the “event” of us peer pressuring former players to return despite 0 changes and the rest of our viewpoints, or any sort of retort about us thinking this game is circling the drain and EoL (end of life) being right around the corner …

i’d say the silence is deafening but even the deaf would be hearing it. (deaf originally autocorrected to dead and sadly they fits too)

[fair phoenix]

Yeah, I got that one too... -_-
(Removed attachment due to being added by mistake)

[grave quest]

yeah, too many of us are forced to refrain from being involved in GC and reporting does absolutely NOTHING. No one at scopely cares. the most vile disgusting abuse can be written there and unless very specific words are said, mostly racist, nothing is done. The moderation on discord is far greater and effective than in gc. so event stuff that is important cannot be there only.

[tidal notch]

Sent you a DM

[grave quest]

and i replied so i hope it goes somewhere and thank you for looking into it.

[hallow viper]

Between the 'invite a friend' and the 'come out of retirement' campaigns, Scopely is sounding desperate to attract players. Have you considered having reasonable pricing?

[mental minnow]

or ….god forbid …… actually fix the game

[acoustic geyser]

It'll never happen they can't vibecode their way out of it 🤣

[fluid mist]

prolly be easier for them to make a new one then again they'd probably just mess that one up in a few months just as bad as this one.

[wet fiber]

Not just that lol, they don't care about cheaters as well as long as they keep the spending going, we sent in tickets with dozens of people months ago, it all doesn't matter, it's all the money that counts

If you want to sell your account, it's all possible for as long as the buyer of that account keeps buying nonsense from the store

[hallow viper]

The biggest problem doesn't seem to be the coding, it is a failure of their QA process

[limber steeple]

extra heavy on the bugs and lag this month, eh?

[keen loom]

Nah. Just the standard dose. Extra heavy on the not giving 2 craps about it though! Have to wonder exactly how many content pushes people refuse to engage with for Scopley to understand just how fed up we are.

[dusky sky]

Your dead silence is speaking volumes over here Scopely. Better communication and listening to the players my hindquarters

[acoustic geyser]

What qa process?

[zinc terrace]

Maverick key claims should reset along with the maverick tasks and not 7 days after they’ve been claimed.

[limber steeple]

The only time I look at GC is when I check to see if maintenance is about to start. Anything else they put in there is DOA for me

[valid flax]

so..im to low to attack high lvl player?! i cant handle this burning pile of ... anymore.

[balmy shadow]

we just had one of our servers biggest spenders and mutually loved rogue killers quit because of the pvp bands being narrowed

it really does effect wars and and pvp gameplay negatively, and war was one of the things that kept stfc fun, war and diplo

Im struggling to want to log in right now to do my claims, I used to fear missing doing them and falling behind, and Im starting to dread having to do it, its like a chore, I think I might just skip it today

[candid sandal]

Oh so we’re censoring player comments we don’t like now. That’s really 💩

[wet fiber]

That's always been the case here 🤣

[candid sandal]

Nothing says this feedback channel is just about looking like you care more than deleting player comments.

[wet fiber]

Do it enough and you get permabanned lol

[candid sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/i-volunteer-as-tribute-pick-me-choose-me-take-me-ill-do-it-gif-15954628

Don’t threaten me with a good time and great reason to finally quit.

[wet fiber]

It's quite simple really, they never cared about the players, their own game, their own TOS, it's all a scam, the only thing that always mattered and will always matter is moneyyyyyyy

[balmy shadow]

I have gone from anger and frustration and moved into calm acceptance, so I think my time is close

[wet fiber]

I'm in that same boat tbh, and it's liberating, idk what game will be next i will put my time in but i already look forward to it

How they don't have 1 star yet in the play stores is beyond me tbh

[balmy shadow]

Yeah I know how your feeling, I have been debating it for awhile and been mad about the game but now I mirror your feelings. I have been typing a lot recently but its all fallen on deaf ears but I dont care anymore

[wet fiber]

If the emotions go away and you start to look at everything clearly you just come to the conclusion this game is badly designed, keeps getting more and more issues that don't get adressed, it's way too expensive for the quality you get, the biggest reason people keep going is because they already spent so much time and money into this that they don't want to walk away. But the harsh conclusion is that it's the only right thing to do, when you look at other multiplayer games like WoW, Final Fantasy, Maplestory, Runescape, PoE, Diablo,... you get so much more quality game for way less money.

[balmy shadow]

for me, a lot of the flaws are annoying but given the community we have made in game are overlookable

however, this new are is going to bring massive disparity problems

the new ship will take forever to grind out, and anybody who has it will get massive mav credits, and the new artifact gives 7000% damage to pvp, additionally with bands narrowed the impact on that individuals can provide is much less

[wet fiber]

This game is made from a fanbase, but that doesn't mean you have decent programmers, as time went on it became clear their devs are too old to be able to keep up to date to coding, it's all so badly made with so many errors that it's laughable, not one of these people will ever be able to go to another gaming company and keep up with the rest, so they try their best but it's just not nearly enough

[balmy shadow]

scopley doesnt understand 90% of the game is outside the game, they fight to beat roe but our diplomacy is what makes the game. our wars and rules, how we interact with each other

they are taking away the best part of stfc, which is everything outside of it, stfc is the glue for the community interaction and the playfield, but its not the experiance we crave

[wet fiber]

That's how it used to be 3 years ago, before we had 10 different battle passes, more heroic events than normal, split up prime researches, split up fleet commander seats for 400 bucks total, it's become pure greed, so much so that even EA raises an eyebrow

[balmy shadow]

idk what I am going to do, but I can tell you I have moved past the being mad stage and while I cared enough to rant and rave about it yesterday, I just dont have that level of energy anymore

Im going to miss my events and dailys today, intentionally for the first time because I just dont care enough to feel anxious about not doing it

[vast nest]

There is always the uninstall game button left

[balmy shadow]

yeah, I think that may be the way to be honestly

[wet fiber]

When you finally stop caring about those together with the daily redeems, you are free my friend

[balmy shadow]

its relaxing, I dont feel rushed in my routine to make time, I think Im gunna watch a movie and wind down and sleep on it. I dont want to lose the friends I have made but I can always keep in touch with them anyway

[wet fiber]

That's the hardest part tbh, saying goodbye to the community you've spent years with

[fluid mist]

easy they get rid of those reviews with ai or some such nonsense or they make a bunch of dummy emails and give good reviews either option is quite plausible

[wet fiber]

Literally what they all do 🤣

[balmy shadow]

Yeah, I enjoy playing with them all, its the thing that has kept me on this long they are my family, it would be way eaiser if I found another game we could all join together

[fluid mist]

I play 2 hrs a day and basically just do daily refines and the battlepass events after thats its just chit chat with friends and I can do that on discord it's so liberating to put the game down been the best 4yrs of my life I dont even care about leveling up my ops fast anymore

[balmy shadow]

Same, I have been at it about 4 years, and thats excatly what I am doing tonight, not even claims, Im just chatting and chilling, it does feel good

[fluid mist]

only thing I feel bad for is all the people that feel like they have to have this game open 12hr-16hrs or more a day just to stay relevant which is impossible as they nerf any progress you make everytime a new arc comes up they sell the new meta and now completely disable the old meta and officers to make it 10x harder so ya they couldn't pay me enough to care about this game anymore but I'd love to see them try

[balmy shadow]

100% agree, with the state of the sphere and the things locked behind it I am giving up on being relevent. I was working on catching up to the 70's and grinding for max pulls daily and buying all battlepasses but after this arc stop Im not doing that anymore

if I decide to stay I will def be casual and just pulling min pulls and just chilling with the boys, there's too great a disparity now and I think I will just stay at my ops and be the best in class rather than trying to push up

as soon as the people who are willing to drop 130cad on a ship get the tasks done and start grabbing those artifacts its over anyway, but those people will be pushing up into the 70s

if I stay below there new narrowed hit band I can at least be good where I am, be relaxed about it, and save my money

pushing up in ops now is a detriment unless I spend enough to be strong enough, na Im good

[fluid mist]

oh I have enough maverick credits right now to pull a little over half the bps if they'd have it a reasonable cost like 500 each chest not 1500 for 2 after all they want to make everyone have the sphere making the 2 chest still makes ppl wait 100 days just means ppl only have to spend 200k credits instead ot 300k

[balmy shadow]

esp with the way the vengeance events have been reduced massively, Im okay staying mid 60's and never getting it

[fluid mist]

I'll be 63 in a few days and thats prolly where I stop or maybe once I get up to g6 unc ship area I know I won't go much higher because of pvp banding no point with all the nerfing

[balmy shadow]

63 uc ships are garbage

stick with rotty if your staying at 63, that and gs 31

if you make it as far as 66 then velox, thats where I am and I think thats where Im going to stay until a bunch of things get fixed and balanced, because if I decide to play casual Ill be safe here from the whales still spending as they move up with the new pvp bands

[acoustic geyser]

Nice to see the empty wave screen been raised finally after weeks of it being an issue. Par for the course I guess

[finite mural]

actually already raised it

#🛠-known-issues message

[acoustic geyser]

So the update is you are still receiving rewards but no idea on a fix

[river spindle]

Everything has been raised over and over for months now.

Just because it’s on known issue list doesn’t mean players are not impacted by it daily.

How about some actual fixes finally.

[compact terrace]

so... i gotta tell you that all these "visual bugs" in event reward screens, claim screens, etc are basically eating away at us because you are after all scopely, the biggest buggiest game out there and you pretty much put the burden on us as players to prove that you didnt give us something or something didnt work correctly, and are horrible at acknowledging that anything is at all broken, so lets just say " I don't trust you at all" and I'm sure that there are more than a few people out there that agree with me, so FIX THIS KRAP please so we dont have to trust that what you say is true and can actually see what we supposedly are getting that youve assured us we are getting 🙂 🙁

[graceful basalt]

I asked AI to generate me an “image of a programmer having inserted his own head into his rectum.”

[umbral gull]

Is there any thought on solving the lag issues

Waiting 10 extra seconds for a station to go green so I can attack it during a raid when it takes 8 hours to vault someone already is kind of ridiculous

I've given you guys like 30k, is that enough to divert that funding to fixing the lag?

[coral dagger]

If you read their 57th copy and paste announcement about it they're aware of it and looking into it, we just need to wait until they have a chance to get around to it

[umbral gull]

Should I donate like 50? Seriously what will it take

I know a lot of good coders that can probably fix this game

[coral dagger]

We just coasting and vibe coding until May

Wouldn't worry about it

[umbral gull]

What's happening in May

[sand talon]

that's not lag, it's deliberate, if it was lag you would have to wait this way for hostiles and player ships interface to load

[umbral gull]

It's ridiculous whatever it is

I really can't fathom how bad the lag is, no other game I've ever played is like this

[sand talon]

i know how you feel, im only interested in raiding but have stopped weeks ago as this is just self harm at this point

[coral dagger]

They've limited traffic to/from the server starting last update

Whether intentionally or messed something up when they added 20 second battle times to G7 Group Armadas who knows

[umbral gull]

I barely have a reason to take part in incursions anymore, but even raiding my own server is torture e

[sand talon]

the base delay was implemented early February

[umbral gull]

Give us a way to raid sigma instead of delaying raiding

This game punishes you more and more for opsing up

[sand talon]

there are other, better, games out there, it may be difficult to walk away if you spent that much but it's worth it

[umbral gull]

I play tons of other games that's not the problem, it's more sad that this game could be something if they spent a day on it

[sand talon]

true

[umbral gull]

It's like it's on autopilot to make money

[coral dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/morpheus-believe-neo-beginning-to-believe-gif-5399492

[umbral gull]

Make money great, but if the game actually WORKED properly you'd make so much more. It's so basic

I used to yell at BDO and EVE online for their pay structure but not anymore

At least the game works

Does scopely even read this stuff we write in this discord or is it just for lessening their tickets

[sand talon]

no, why would they? they have CMs for that and CMs have Mods for that, and Mods have their lives and will miss/ignore things 🙂

[umbral gull]

Awesome

[sand talon]

if you remove my words at least let me know what rule it broke please

[umbral gull]

You probably said a word in English they didn't understand and it's censored

Autobot style

[acoustic geyser]

They didn't miss whatever you wrote 😂

[coral dagger]

EVE was also made by people who believed in the project and not an investment/casino company

[umbral gull]

Yeah but I'm pretty sure whatever we send into this discord is like screaming into the abyss

[sand talon]

auto leaves information, but i guess i crossed a line 🙂

[coral dagger]

I miss EVE though, used to be real big on it back in the day, except for that time they deleted my boot.ini file with the Trinity release

[acoustic geyser]

I used to play years and years ago, stopped and will probably never go back

[coral dagger]

I used to run 3 accounts. Played all day and worked all night, never slept.

I wonder if the Veldnaught is still around.

[umbral gull]

I am in the top 1% of richest players in eve

I thought this game would challenge me a little more, boy was i wrong

[coral dagger]

Not at all

[umbral gull]

The fact that I'm willing to give this game tens of thousands of dollars if it worked right and they just can't figure it out is really something

[wanton owl]

Now that we have a search bar in research: can we get one for the Inventory too? I'd love to know how many Bonus Converter Tokens I have but finding them in between the thousands of mcguffins is impossible.

I will trade you one of these in exchange for a search bar

[vague grotto]

Where do you trade in first contact relics i can't find anywhere for them

[lusty basin]

There will be a store on First Contact Day.

[vague grotto]

Ah thank you, thought i was missing something then

[sage wadi]

Any fix for Kirshara?

[sand talon]

they may not be loose but they are Legion 😅

[forest bobcat]

This getting stuck in the preparation screen is getting a bit old now please fix it

[acoustic geyser]

Nice to see the chat issues being picked up finally

How about the one when you receive rewards and it flashes at you 2-3 times before you can accept them

[gilded escarp]

For the choice rewards, did we ever figure out why the ore and gas choices don’t have epic 5 star mats for pre and gas? <@&509690795536941056>

[balmy iris]

Those subfolders in the event section are a nice way to sort things but since we need a second or two to enter or leave folders it ain't that nice anymore. That goes for most of the game.

[fluid mist]

naw only 6 figure donations get taken seriously and thats per year not in your lifetime of playing just an fyi Xypher

[civic haven]

From my alliance-mate: “I am level 56.... I unlocked the New Sphere....I bought 1 of 2 avaliable upgrade packs, it took me to T2...last night i said what the [heck] and bought the 2nd avaliable upgrade pack. it took me to T3. Well after I tiered it to 3 it now requires Sigma to repair ( part thats [messed] up now). Im a faaaaar ways off from 61 and shouldn't have been allowed to take it that high at 56.”

[small edge]

Wow really ? That is messed up for sure

[stuck topaz]

T3 by itself doesn't require sigma, he upgraded a component further (which by itself required sigma trit), same as multiple other ships at that stage, unfortunate, but expected

[civic haven]

Sounds like a design flaw Scopely may want to look into. If only there were a place players could leave them feedback…

[olive nacelle]

It’s not a design flaw, they now expect him to drop tens of thousands of £$¥€ to rush to high 60’s.

Sooner people start figuring this out the better. It’s all by design to make people spend.

[azure pelican]

You give them too much credit. Lots is designed to increase spend obviously, but they are more than capable of making mistakes too...

[keen loom]

Still shocked the Hamburgler and John Connor are radar silent after so many clear, and concise messages saying the same thing about the state of the game. I really shouldn’t be shocked.

The lack of addressing our concerns honestly just delivers the message that the plug is being pulled on the game.

No? Show us. Don’t tell us.

[junior lava]

Well it changed.... from bad to worse

[modern robin]

"I don't think it can be worse than this"
"hold my beer"

[fading grail]

community mod broken again?

[south rampart]

Your alliance mate forgot how the Borg cube tiered up? Builds in mid OPS 30s, needs G3 initally - G4 at T5.

[fleet moss]

<@&509690795536941056> Was the size of the Hegh'ta a programmer mistake or did you want to make extra money by selling magnifying glasses? 😄

[coral dagger]

Unless there was an update this morning I didn't do it's working fine for me

In my Alliance which is the largest on the server we only had 22 people participate in the Borg Sphere Combat ALB, we're at an all time low for engagement and it's not just us. Our usual solo server whale I don't even think bought the Sphere and he's bought and upgraded everything for years.

People are not down with:

Buy Sphere
Get Sphere and FT
FT can't be upgraded because it uses new special mats
Can't equip it on the Cube anyway until T2
No Parts given
+1 Fell For It Again Award

[keen loom]

All that will come next maintenance in $100 packs!

[torpid cargo]

And thats the rub. You can spend X amout a month for a year, to try and stay ahead of the power curve...FOMO. Then take two months of not spending and you will quickly fall, PVP and Power wise to the middle of the pack. There is no winning this game....there is no end content....its either spend to stay relevant in Areans and the once or twice a year that they run PvP events, or you slip far beind everyone who keeps spending. The power jump at every release is insane. And if your are low spender or f2p, then it may take you months to get on top of a loop, by then its effects have been very watter down by power creep.

[keen loom]

This is exactly what I’m talking about.

Absolutely no one cares for the junk that keeps being pushed. NO ONE.

You want to keep your customer base?

Start listening.
Start resolving years old concerns.
Start focusing exclusively on game performance.

You didn’t learn after Trashpoints epic failure.

You continue to ignore the only source of information that matters. The players.

[gilded escarp]

Well the feedback they listen to is only their super secret whale collection that are just yes men type people, not the playerbase as a whole

[haughty sail]

the feedback is lagging just as hard as the game so they won't hear it until 2027

[fluid mist]

and thats only if they dont continue to nerf officer against hostiles along the way as they are every month right now

[coral dagger]

Guys you can't just go around using the stuff you have

[carmine charm]

People are rewarding this so why would scopely change?

[torpid cargo]

Wow....I just dont see why. The ship isn't for me. I wouldn't care to guess how I would use it three months from now either.

[muted hamlet]

this new arc is junk. Even if you buy the stupid sphere it's garbage at t1 and the parts drip is franklin-level slow

[fluid mist]

thats so disgusting wow a literal 1 trick pony that has no real relevance other than what it will do for the maverick faction and ppl just saying take my money scopley another nail into the coffin thst is the state of humanity in today's gamer age.

though to be fair what more can I expect from people that will shell out 1k-5k per month for this broken game that they never fix glad I'm ftp least I'm not contributing to this heap

[modern robin]

Game is lagging like crazy

[rough belfry]

<@&509690795536941056> can we get a couple of starts for the conqueror Borg aramdas so we can actually attempt to complete the SMS? It's ridiculous to ask us to do 4 armadas in 2 days when we only get 1 pull a day.

[carmine charm]

It's a relatively iconic ship, people are feeling stretched thin (by design) so they're spending to skip even more frustration and some people just clearly have way too much money

[finite mural]

asked

[weak grove]

Since the first First Contact Update repairing ships has an insufferable lag :( could this please be addressed. If you're in some TC fight or something comparable and you need to repair fast, it's really a pain to wait 3-5 seconds for each ship and each action (= repair + ask for help + speedup)

[violet estuary]

Highly engaged f2p usually finds a way to play loops. Sure they will get the ships 3 months later and will not have the buildings at the same level as spenders.

But then you have spenders who spend and don't know how to play the newer stuff. Because spending is not solving it all - you have to play (grind) too.

The best way to play is without any fomo and picking your battles. Eventually every loop will become easier to play and can be mastered.

[green robin]

Please update the description as the event "kill hostiles" also counts armadas.

[spare belfry]

What can I use these for? It seems they are not usable currency can you confirm?

[finite mural]

no exchange yet, but you can follow this #⭐-official-announcements message

[restive wraith]

Wonder if Scopely has realised yet that flogging a pay 2 play Arc wont reap the benefits that it budgeted for - estimated than 10% of our alliance paid for the 1 trick pony this month....meaning that 10% has to carry the alliance in all these 'new' events - lets see how long these new events turn into ones we just ignore like some of the other hostile events - maybe a re-think and refunds are in order

[coral dagger]

I'm pre-ignoring it all. I'm not even getting BPs out of the faction store I care so little about it.

[restive wraith]

Also find it strange that even without the ship the Sphere Research node is available....so we can upgrade the warp on a ship we dont have - absolute shambles IMHO

[coral dagger]

That's probably bottom of the list of things I care about really

[vague grotto]

Massive lag spikes again on 104, warping doesnt action til almost 12 seconds after clicking recall,for the ship to even start thinking about recalling, it normally just cancels and the ship stays still

[jaunty prism]

That's not unusual

[vocal tinsel]

Nothing will change as long as the spender buy every trash in every arc... Look at the ship sales ... The state of the game is the spenders fault!

[coral dagger]

Even the spenders aren't spending on this on my server

[restive wraith]

Nor mine - wonder how the bribery of bringing old players back is going? How many Alt accounts does it take to make before it violates the games T&C's

[junior lava]

Well i know some players who bought/got gifted accounts from different servers... they can bring back that "old players"

[rich elm]

2 epic shards … we getting spoiled bois and girls

[tropic crown]

Is terrible lag just a feature if this game now?

[tropic crown]

They really broke the bank with that one.

[restive wraith]

To be fair I dont actually think Scopely has read their own T&C's so probably wouldnt do anything about it anyway - more players means more cash cows to pay the £99 for a ship that you have to spend £100's more on for it to do anything you need it to do

[junior lava]

Nahhh. I mean that they bring back their old accounts to score in the bring back event.... not that there would be real players coming back

[restive wraith]

If you had left would you come back?

[twin tendon]

[tropic crown]

Every update drives away more, Scopley refuse’s to learn.

[restive wraith]

To be fair I get the idea about 'refer a friend' as they need to generate activity as a sales business, so more noise and people coming back and fresh older blood who perhaps havent seen what its like for a while - I get that - its like rewarding new players and not looking after your existing customer base that I dont get.... the happier we are the more likely we will encourage people to return - then they throw a pay to play Arc at us and the trust just disappears....

[twin tendon]

Im alrady almost gone
playing since 2018
and every arc less and less
before was do every event every loop now cant be botherd
the game is broken beyond repair and the lies Conor and the team blabering no one buying
stfc devs simply hate star trek and the players

[twin tendon]

if I post here what friend wrote me when send him the invite back link, carlbot ban me for life 🤣

[restive wraith]

I think the P2P Arc and the Incursion changes have caused a huge rift in peoples opinions - I did hear that one of the larger players had quit recently too maybe had enough of being taken advantage of

[proud narwhal]

<@&509690795536941056> hey are you guys ever going to fix the mantis debuff so it's subject to PvP banding? cuz it's pretty annoying getting debuffed by a player you can't attack, especially with the narrowed PvP bands...

[glacial flint]

Too many loops now; had enough. Game takes far too much time out of each day - a large part of it lag / clicking on far too many claims that could have had a slider or a multi-claim option

[tropic crown]

What trust? Who trust Scopley? Remember years ago they said quality over quantity? I say again who trusts them?

[blazing mortar]

You know, the new signing in online that gives you codes instead of using your password is ridicules, when you have to go into your email for the code multiple times because the Scoply website always kicks you after logging in, having to redo the sign in process multiple times.. It is so annoying, bring back the passwords for god sakes!!!!! Or fix your website, but we all know you cant even fix a Game let alone a website! I have had the same issues with your website for years, why expect any different. You wonder why People don't gather the Mission Keys. Go back to code, figure out what's wrong with the game and the website before trying to stuff nonsense in the game that just makes it worse!!!!!

[tropic crown]

It true I dread having to click through everything each day. Why is there no claim all for faction that we can setup?

[twin tendon]

quality over quantity was best stfc moto ever 🤣
bet hamster has a scopley cup with it

[restive wraith]

I used to spend 5/6 hours a day whilst working, hostile grinding to level up was great - now I am barely spending any time grinding as collecting items and doing dallies just takes too long

[trail bear]

Resistance liaison means what?

[novel depot]

Yes. Any other answer to the contrary is drowned out by Scopely’s resounding silence on the topic…which I suppose is better than getting gaslit by another “state of the game” video….I think.

[restive wraith]

Remember on Arc day the shop was down - amazing how quickly it was fixed and working normally again....

[gilded escarp]

Scopley doesn’t care about their own T&Cs unless it is typed out harassment, otherwise they don’t care and let spenders get away with whatever they want

[novel depot]

Harassment using only very specific words

[restive wraith]

Yep - Savvy Games Group is the owner of Scopely - I have lodged something with them too - after giving Scopely 4 attempts to intervene

[gilded escarp]

I highly doubt they will do anything either

[slender monolith]

That you get access to an additional channel, because you posted the screenshot of the relic reward

[cosmic knoll]

wtf, really? is this a late aprils fool?

[tawdry flax]

When you changed the PvP bands but still let the Ops 70 whales hit down to 51 was the most transparent knee bending I have ever seen from a game company. Why did you change the bands at all? Some claim of fairness. But where the bands needed to be tightened the most, you Birdboxed it. Good job.

[cosmic knoll]

apparently they dont want to scare away any 'new' players ...

also they want everyone to ops up to G5+ ... they think they can hook ppl long enough to continue when they hit the pvp wall and pay wall ...

thats all they are thinking, its nothing to do with anything except extorting grabbing money from anyone unfortunate enough to install the game for the first time

[carmine charm]

I didn't generate the image but as far as I know it's accurate and rather descriptive of why scopely does what they do

[wooden spire]

Even if they eventually implement it, apart from ten other things then not working since their coders are from Temu, and the server reduced bandwidth being even more bogged down by so many simultaneous requests (the real reason they aren’t doing it?), it’s unlikely to work properly, same as the current claim alls.

Probably have to press it five times before it’s actually claimed everything, and have to go to each individual faction store to press it just for that store. And each press will have a spinning circle for ages while the server creaks and groans.

[tawdry flax]

You have a tab for "speedups", but the armada speedups are not there. They are burried in the unorganized mess of the other tabs. 6 years and we still don't have a way to search inventory

[lucid wing]

Still finding there is a lot of general lag in addition to the plethora of bugs. Any news on potential fixes or timelines for upgrades etc? <@&509690795536941056>

[steel dragon]

Lack of the extended zoom out option is killing me

[thick onyx]

There is option on sign up to use password it’s just like it used to be just need to tap on use password

[keen loom]

Of course this was tested prior to implementation! Along with all that other testing. 👀

[vital sequoia]

Scopley, let’s talk about something I know you care about: where the players are wanting to and willing to spend their money.

Let’s review recent Star Trek gaming:

Star Trek Online: just released their annual anniversary pack, content includes: the EV Suits from Star Trek Enterprise, MACO pistol & Andorian rifle. Wanting these, I bought them.
Star Trek Timelines: just released a new event season to help players get Gauntlet Exclusive crew. Rather than abandoning a mechanic, they’re improving it. Also, it uses other existing game elements to contribute, not adding unnecessary time to complete your accomplishments. The season pass is a reasonable cost, worthy of my money.
Star Trek Voyager Across the Unknown: just announced their next update, including a plethora of game fixes but more importantly, adding a genius new feature. The ability to customize the difficulty based on a large number of factors, vastly increasing replayability of the game. This is being released free, but I would have been happy to spend money on this and assuming they release additional paid DLC, I will buy it.

Then we get to STFC:
A new ship, behind a paywall. Realistically, multiple paywalls to get it and upgrade it to any kind of useful state.
A new combat loop, which the paywalled ship will be best for. (No surprise here)
Multiple lines of the Maverick quests are ONLY for using the paywalled ship.
The quality of life updates? Missions. One of the least important QoL fixes that could be done. Where’s the stability fixes? The UI improvements? The new Quest system where you don’t need to scroll forever or click through multiple subQuest screens to know what needs finishing? Where’s the improved Faction store where you can do your daily redemptions in 10 clicks or less?

Look at what the other 3 games did and then look at what you did Scopely. Is it any surprise that the others are getting my money and you’re not?

[lime crag]

Apparently ‘progression-based offers’ means some players get more for the exact same money while others get less. I spend a bit, but because I’m not dropping insane amounts, I get offered packs with fewer rewards for the same price. That’s not progression that’s predatory and actively hinders progression instead of rewarding it

[south rampart]

It's likely because you're not at the same OPS level, ship tier, etc.

[balmy shadow]

Too many people bought the sphere, so no.

[blazing mortar]

It has changed, you can not use your password any longer. That was what kept my rant at bay until now I don't have that option.

[thick turret]

Getting a ton of unneeded lag. Everyrhing is delayed by at least 3 seconds. For instance, if i hit repair on my ship, it takes 3 to 10 seconds before i can hit the help request button.
Also, everytime i collect a box, or change a menu, seems like i have about a 15% to 20% chance everytime to completely lock up and require a full restart of the game.

[slender wraith]

Can we please get something that states if a galaxy has a planet we can dock our base on.

[lime crag]

I bought the sphere, it shouldn't matter what ops level I am at, I should have the same upgrade packs available to me. 6* or 7* mats i can almost understand, but not offering an upgrade pack with the same chaos tech is unacceptable

[torpid cargo]

Why after hitting the claim all button do I have to click done 8 more times?

[steel ridge]

Exercise

[boreal ferry]

something tells me the average stfc player gets plenty of wrist exercise as is

[south rampart]

Perhaps the different chaos tech(s) are OPS gated also. I don't know.

[novel depot]

Star Trek Timelines you say? I downloaded it and forgot that I did.

And yes, STO has gotten the vast majority of my money in the last 3 months…not only do I get to play with the actual ship that looks like a ship and not a green triangle when zoomed in but I can customize it, too!

Funny, that game has gotta be almost as old as STFC and the playability (let alone re-playability) has really never taken a hit that I can recall.

Alternative sources of dopamine, here I come!

[coral dagger]

STO is much older

[novel depot]

Didn’t realize it was that much older. Feel like that only makes my point resound more loudly (on deaf ears).

[coral dagger]

16 years I think

[manic sapphire]

Well I guess STO here I come. Got it downloaded to my PS about a year ago but only played it a couple hours

[novel depot]

Took some time to get into it…not much as I recall. Less than STFC…but I’m a Trekkie. Highly recommend STO, you will actually feel like you got some entertainment value out of your money, too, instead of an ever increasing arms race where the end result is planned obsolescence anyway.

S33 lag all day all night. It’s like it’s a new feature!

[limber steeple]

scopely, have you considered making the screen refreshes take less time? maybe think about it, eh?

[fathom willow]

still high latency server 717. warping, repairing, attacking hostiles, etc.

[wise temple]

Apart from all the bugfixing I would like to propose working on the performance of .... MENUS! I am playing this game since end of 2019, found friends, have fun, but now as I am pushing Ops 50, I start dreading every time I come for my gaming session because I know I will spend the first 20min just clicking through menus collecting (far too much!) stuff, with every single click taking 1-5 seconds (if the server performs well) with all the background communication and animation.
I wonder if it wasn't an option to have a background process handling the communication to the server instead of waiting for its answer to continue? Also, I don't need to confirm everything, especially if it is just an OK.
I'd be happy to see some improvement here. I don't want to be forced making my way through a hardware store before work every day either.

[sage wadi]

Name some bugs

[robust kelp]

The game has never been in a worse state than it is now. I'm now convinced more than ever that you are letting the game die whilst fleecing everyone on the way out. Prove me wrong. FIX the basic fundamentals before adding anymore new content. No point listing what needs fixing as it's basically everything now.

[mighty sparrow]

Im giving scopley one final chance to put this right.

I opened this ticket and got a poor repsonce that doesnt fix the problem. My continium refinery is broken and progress woth choas tech has stopped

[orchid lake]

I would really like to have an plausible explanation why "venegance is mine" event is reschedulded from twice a week to twice a month. Its a massive change for the worse. Plus: its not overlapping with other Material events. That seems just greedy to me.

[sand talon]

i have yet to meet someone who managed to get anywhere via tickets - use the email route to get to them, the autobot has prewritten answers and you could just say 'banana' to each question and you will end up with the same result

[mighty sparrow]

Your putting me off going to 70. Op69 forever then

[mighty sparrow]

I ha e had issues resolved in the past with in game support

[sage wadi]

No problem with Veng sms, but problem for RLB, more people to compete with. And not overlapping with officer spending is a big problem.

[fast anvil]

i always use in game cs and always get comped or refunded if i spent smt and a bug hits

without fail btw, ive nvr had a interaction with cs where they dont do what i ask politely

[sand talon]

using the bot? i had issues resolved via email so im not saying all CS is bad 😄

[fast anvil]

no, directly with cs, i skip past the bot

[sage wadi]

I stopped spending on game on 49 after a 2 week long CS communication. Long story, never solved.

They tried to salvage the situation, but in the end they contradicted their own earlier statements. Lies everywhere

[haughty sail]

this lag is getting to the point of unbearable, repairing ships takes 20 seconds now. fix this stuff or this will be the last arc for most people and you have succeeded in killing the game

[cyan isle]

It’s why the game is dying

[mighty sparrow]

When I try emailing support I type

But when I press next it turns into

So emails always bounce back. So im left with in game support.

Due to ship repair lag im no longer engaging in pvp and always have long shields up. I simply wont shoot another player again till this is fixed. And if scopley fob me off with my refinery problem ill leaving anyway

[cosmic knoll]

having a letter means thats a saved contact right? maybe deleting that saved contact will help? cant autocomplete what it cant dig up from your contact list

[ripe hemlock]

also disable auto complete, this will solve anything related to it

Just some feedback for Scopely on this Arc and the new ship. 100 player alliance with 81/100 high enough ops to get the new ship. 0 have purchased it and 0 plan too.

[sour shale]

<@&509690795536941056> @raw fiber Was this change on purpose? Why change it to show the Temporal Wreckage instead of the normal DTI currencies? It makes no sense since this is only used to exchange for credits and its mre important to know how may of those you have vs the Wreckage....? If you want a suggestions..... Why not make it so you can swap between the currencies like you can with Reg-RSS and Sigma?

[mossy trench]

This happened to me over Christmas

[cyan isle]

And people still give em money.

[mighty sparrow]

Its not a saved contact. Gmail invented that one for me. I shouldn't have to email. The i game support should work fine and it what I have always used. If scopely dont want to repsond favourably through in game support then I will.vite with my feet.

[steel dragon]

And you forgot the Extended Zoom function ( which should be the default) not working after a reload of the game, which makes waves almost impossible. I haven’t been able to finish a solo since it happened. I will be spending my lunch break today looking for something else to spend my money and time.

[sour shale]

Not to defend Scopley, as I see many of he same glitches day in and day out... and it frustrates me, but you do realize that for a majority of people, this is a free game... and its the people that pay them that allow them to continue offering it for free. Last time I checked they don't get government subsidies.... or credits form blowing up a federation station...... They need to get the money to continue offering the game in any fashion. YES.... they should pay better attention to what they are doing. Offering a game that is fun, exciting, constantly evolving, and glitch-free is the key to any experience..... but simply saying "stop paying them" is very counter-intuitive.

[sour shale]

I never use that crappy AI bot for support... always gets stuck at where you shot. I email support and have done so 5 times... and all but 1 of those were settled in a fair and honest way... and in my favor.

[steel dragon]

Personally, I think if we could get everyone on the same page and threaten an embargo of the scam ley store, we might get some USEFUL action out of them

[sage wadi]

Agree. But how can playerbase have a voice if not stop spending?

[mighty sparrow]

A human will repsond in game too but if the human does noy read the ticket and investigate then you get fobbed off. That can happen with an email or in game support

[cyan isle]

They shouldn’t get money for garbage. And ignoring garbage programming making us suffer after we gave them money.. So I’m completely ok no longer giving them money. They don’t deserve it

[sour shale]

Very true.... its kind of being between a rock and a hard place. A for-profit company is always going to put profitable content ahead of "ease of use" content... or bug fixing. The problem is that until everyone that pays says that they will stop paying... give a deadline.. .and actually do it... its nothing more than an idle threat that they will never take seriously. I wouldn't. Boycotts rarely work on large companies because there is always someone who doesn't care and will keep paying.

[sage wadi]

And this is the sad true. I still like this game though...

[sour shale]

So... let me ask you this...... besides the odd annoyance here and there. Is the game unplayable? I mean truly unplayable? No! Many of these glitches are mere annoyances. Yes, its sucks..... but come on.... its just a game. I, personally, know its free.... so theres bound to be annoying things. Do we get pop-up adds in the middle of playing like other games? No. Are timed tasks 100% locked to speed-up unless you pay out of pocket.... no. They offer plenty of free paths to get ahead. It may be slow..... but its FREE! NO game is going to be 100% free of glitches. Heck... I recently paid $68 for a switch game that I cant even complete because one of the levels has a known glitch. Am I going to stop buying games from Nintendo because of it? No. It happens.

[steel dragon]

I miss the good old days when you just bought the game ONCE, but if there was a glitch or something that broke the game, the company would work their programmers overtime until they had a fix, which was then distributed free of charge with apologies that actually meant something. And I don’t need a freaking CC to advance, I actually had to learn how to actually PLAY the game.

[rare vale]

Nobody in our alliance has gotten it either, and we have several people who are normally not afraid to spend. Hope this is a lesson to scopely to stop overcharging for their content and paywalling entire arcs... but it probably won't be

[steel dragon]

Not until we boycott the store with enough ppl to actually make a dent in their vacation fund and second mansions

[cyan isle]

Yes. The game is virtually unplayable. Fly into a system. Enemy is hitting surveys. You click attack 6 times! Your ship never engages once allowing enemy to kill everyone. And then recall. While you’re still waiting for ship to engage.

Waves now crash wasting directives.

Arenas are unplayable from lag and glitches and crashes.

Now hostile grinding is impossible because Kir’shara now counts down without hitting anything wasting time I qued up hostiles.

Game is now garbage and unplayable in all aspects.

[green robin]

seems scopely has given up with lower lvl BP event sms and sticking to generic scoring. 4th one in a row

[cyan isle]

Why would anyone spend money on a broken game? Who would buy content when they broke Kir’shara and never fixed it? It makes me think any new content will be broken and worthless. Dauntless broken. Kir’shara broken. Cube broken. C-boost broken. Waves broken. Everything broken.

[sour shale]

Then me and my server must have a special connection or something. I play the game every day and its very playable. Yes.... there are glitches here and there.... but I somehow ply it on my phone. my ipad on the treadmill. and on my min-mac or macbook.

My Kir'shara hiccups every now and then if Im doing a lot of other tasks.... but its till works most of the time.
Yes... my GS-31 lags sometimes....
I stay away from Arena;s cause they're just crap to begin with.....
I've had waves lock up and crash 5 times.... three time I emailed support and they refunded my starts... the other times I just moved on to something else.
Im not saying there's not glitches....... and Im not saying that I sometimes just close the game because I get frustrated with the lag..... but being hyperbolic is not going to fix anything.

[cyan isle]

We SHOULDNT be fighting glitches, crashes, bugs in EVERY area of content. That shows the game is garbage.

They literally can’t even fix entering MU takes you to your home system. That should have been fixed the day after introduced. The fact it was introduced makes you question why someone was touching code around MU. And that’s on example of 100’s of bugs now plaguing the game in every aspect of life. Who wants to fight a game that should be fun? I certainly wouldn’t pay to suffer.

Taking Kirk off the FC chair and returning does not increase warp range

You really need to stop deleting indiviual responses out of a string of in game PMs, unless you like helping people lie about what others have said.
Bottom line, if you can't stop doing that, you need to disable the in game PM.
(so bascially disable it, because everyone knows you won't try to fix it)

[simple pumice]

I am getting so tired of this 💩. So many bugs, so much lag, but yet you want us to "believe" that Scopley cares about making the game better. Trust us Bro......

[viscid gorge]

when's the last time event reset went smoothly with no issues?

[tropic crown]

Got some nerve wanting us to ask players back when the game is borderline unplayable with lag issues for days. Has anything been done to fix it ? Who knows Scopley is radio silent on the issues.

[cyan isle]

The most shocking part. They rather “create” events asking for people back. Then fix bugs what caused them to leave in the first place. Think of that

Question... it's been a long time since I've logged on to do anything. So, has Scopely finally decided to fix anything? Or do they still think adding broken stuff is enticement enough to get folks to part with their c-notes?

[marsh tide]

Just go to bug reporting sure your question will be answered or just read the post above yours

[sage wadi]

Just see the comment above yours

[sweet grove]

When I stopped playing, they couldn't even get the in game stores to render properly. The graphics wouldn't even load. "Customer service" well... wasn't. And if you could get hold of someone they either blamed me, or my phone or provider... So, I flipped em a gigantic middle finger and quit logging in... but I was just checking up...

I used to really enjoy killing time with this platform. At one time I was 13th on my server. But...

Easy ways to make your players happy

It’s clear from the numbers of players leaving the game, playing and spending less, as well as the discord commentary: stfc players are unhappy.

Many problems are complex and I’m sure won’t be fixed quickly. In the meantime, here’s some relatively easy things Scopely could do to increase player happiness:

Consistency in timelines

1. Each specialty ship should take the same time to acquire as f2p. *E.g., the new Borg sphere BP pull should be changed to 2 BPs for 500 maverick credits.*
2. Decide how long it should take a reasonably motivated F2P player to max tier a specialty ship, and adjust all daily pulls to match that (as it seems you did with the defiant - thank you!). *The wide variation from disco (2yrs!) to GS-31 (a few months) makes it feel like you are being careless or capricious.*

Consistency in rewards

1. Materials / RSS rewards for weekly and special SMS should be consistent and at a reasonable level to enable progression. Ticketed or heroic rewards should be 2 or 3x this amount. 
2. Make ore and gas rewards the same as crystal for events and choice rewards. 
3. Adjust syndicate rewards based on ops level.

Clear and consistent communication

1. Be mindful of jargon - not all players know or understand your acronyms or specialized vocabulary. 
2. ALL events should be listed on upcoming event calendars. 
3. Listen and respond to player feedback in a timely manner when possible.

I’m offering these suggestions as I still enjoy the game & the game community, and I want it to succeed. I hope y’all listen.

[simple pumice]

Well said

[flint plume]

Thanks! Here’s hoping

[mighty sparrow]

Did arenas today and they were quite playable. My main lag gripe is the speed of repairs.

[finite mural]

Not the place for server roe issues.

[twin tendon]

upgraded ops today and feeling scamed by scopley
ops68 maveric credits chest 2000 conq armada loot for 160 credits
ops69 now and its 4000 conq armada loot for 180 credits
double the loot for 20 credits more 🤬
why getting punished for lv up?

[tropic crown]

Fix stuff 🤣 good one!

[tropic crown]

I asked this question for a long time, they want you to ops up but seem to punish you for doing it. 🤷‍♀️

[flint plume]

😬 I did not know that, thanks for the warning. I’ve still got 22 days left on my ops 69 upgrade, i definitely won’t speed it up now

[novel depot]

Problem is that you are 100% correct. The silence in response to players’ feedback is deafening.

[mild spruce]

@rigid vapor why dont you actually fix these ongoing bugs in the game and make it playable

[naive peak]

<@&509690795536941056> what is APAC getting for not being included in the First Contact Relic event? Super frustrating to be left out yet again.

[slender ledge]

Why isn't there any epic mats in ops 58 choice packs?

It should be from ops 56 as you need it to upgrade the rare faction ship

[finite mural]

Rewards are based on store packs. Gas/dilth for research, doesn't have epic. Para/ore for station, doesn't have epic. Crystal/trit, based on ship, which does have epic. Always been that way

[slender ledge]

V'ger changed that! It's needed to pass ops 59 (and 69) and still do v'ger dailies.

It's not balanced as it used to be now

V'ger loop changed everything

Criteria for upgrading ops is simplified now, kind of nice, but v'ger level +1 is now the blocker

[slender ledge]

No idea what's in store packs. Never bought them, never will, totally irrelevant

And why would I buy them if they don't have the mats I need?

I would be stupid to buy them

[finite mural]

Not the point, i'm explaining why they choice rewards are the way they are.

[slender ledge]

And i explain why Scopely changed the rules, so the packs should change

[finite mural]

The rules didn't change

[slender ledge]

If it wasn't for v'ger I would be ops 59, or higher.

I will not upgrade ops until I can do dailies at higher ops

That is the player rule for balanced ops upgrades

That is my general feedback

This is the right place for that, no?

[novel depot]

Yea..the mods here don’t really tell you what’s appropriate for “feedback” you just get a generalized warning.

…I’m sensing a theme.

[slender ledge]

@finite mural is generally doing a good job, so nothing against him.

[muted hamlet]

I'm not sure how but you guys somehow made gs31 stuff even worse. 4 times today already the beam just will not trigger period. I've had to restart each time.

[slender wraith]

Like 2 or 3 months ago there was a event for this prime. Best you could do is get half. Can we please get another event to get the other half?

[slender ledge]

(Surely, the CEO of Scopely read this channel to get direct general feedback, or at least get a curated copy - after the videos of humble apologies and new player focus over the last year or so)

[rare vale]

Honestly, while your correct on your points, they also need to put costs (really money, materials, rss, speedups, etc) into the realm of reality. Store packs are providing nearly no value for players ops 60+. I wouldn't even but most packs (as they currently sit) even if they were $20. It feels impossible to tier g6 ships (not even gonna touch on the futility of g7 content), and when you do finally get enough mats/parts/rss, the tier up time is measured in months while speedups sourcing is near nonexistent. Frankly, this has made the game boring, rather than promote spending as im sure they hoped this slow down would create. My point is, they need to focus on making the game fun and affordable. That combination promotes organic spending without the need for pushy ads and overpriced one trick pony ships which are completely useless unless you spend a car payment to make it even moderately usable.

[slender ledge]

Yes, G6 slow-mode were OK at the start of the G6 series so players didn't rush through the levels. It should be eased gradually as G3 was, and G4

I think they make game business decision based on bad data

[rare vale]

And corporate greed

[flint plume]

I’ve been ops 68 for months with another month to go, and at the current pacing it might be another 6 months before I could get to 70. (I’m f2p.)

It is indeed feeling as boring as trying to fill a 5 gallon bucket from a slowly dripping faucet. I’m keep thinking they’ll turn the faucet on just a little bit…but instead the drip seems to be slowing.

[fervent elm]

Agree. Can’t see any Contest Leader card across any in-game tab

[opal orchid]

How about doing actual maintenance? Game is unplayable

[abstract scaffold]

This Tuesday's Maintenance is obviously not mid-month. It is only the end of the first week of April. That is three successive Tuesdays of Maintenance. Just call it Bug fix Tuesday and have done with it, then we all know where we stand, don't bother using the system for 2 hours every Tuesday

[fluid mist]

I was just about to comment on that being as April has 31 days and they saying mid month maintenance is the 7th. Someone needs to learn to count better i think. Not our fault they seem to be looking at doing 13 or 14 arcs this year with this one coming out early.

[cosmic knoll]

noone needs reminding that scopely have no idea what day of the week it is. be lucky they remembered it was called tuesday.

[slender ledge]

They have to make money, so that's OK, but there need to be a balance of sorts

[fluid mist]

yea I guess we should be happy at least the announced it rofl

[ripe hemlock]

regarding the CotA event:
you forgot they trolled the whole playerbase by removing it without further announcement (first stating its gone forever), then "back for one last time" and made it OPS54+ only to screw everyone below that OPS level.

totally respectless behaviour

[ripe hemlock]

they cant call it "bug fix tuesday" because they usually dont fix bugs but instead add new ones to long existing ones 🤭

[wooden spire]

Bug Addition Tuesday.

[muted hamlet]

There is so much wrong and messed up about this game and Scopely's "communication" around it, it's hard to fathom - it obscures more basic stuff like stuff that has literally been broken for 3+ years. When will your stupid faction store notifications finally be fixed? When will I stop getting 85 notifications randomly from a faction store with nothing there new for me? 10 from terran DAILY when I haven't even used it in 6 months? Is that too much to ask?

[blazing umbra]

I’ve been watching Season 3 of Star Trek Enterprise. The Temporal War and the Xindi Council have been great plot lines that I wasn’t very familiar. 🖖✨

[naive peak]

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

[graceful cedar]

It only becomes a feature after it's been ignored for a minimum of 6 months.

[fathom willow]

717, pc client, ongoing issue where game gets way too choppy and laggy after 30 minutes. clearing localization breaks sound every single time.

also server 717 is still seeing latency when performing actions such as warping, repairing ships, targeting hostiles, etc.

STFC is so dumb. They don't know how to program. They are so incompetent

[junior sierra]

Hopefully zoom bug on iPad gets fixed in patch. I dislike playing on phone ( I can’t read anything 🤣 ) but actively hunting hostiles is basically impossible on iPad without it. At least it was listed as a known issue. Photo / same place iPad vrs iPhone .

[fervent crystal]

It would be nice to get scaling options for UI, especially for those of us who use larger tablets. There are many tablets these days in the 13 to 14.6 inch range for both Apple and android, and as a user of a 14.6 inch tablet, the UI could easily be half the size and just fine.

[finite raft]

<@&509690795536941056> Hey since no one seems to pay any attention to the arena-feedback section.... what's up with this match? Oh and while i've got your attention... what's the best way to go about killing this ship as an ops 68 is there some sort of FT/CT paring that has some magic i'm not aware of 🤣

[fluid remnant]

The matchmaking seems to get worse every week.

The easy solution is just lock teams in G4/G5/G6/G7 but they won't do that for some reason.

[sand talon]

I was gonna play my game until I got LAG (ooh)
I was gonna get up and play the game, but then I got LAG (la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)
My game is still messed up, and I know why (why? Man)
'Cause I got LAG, because I got LAG, because I got LAG (la-la-ta, ta-ta-ra-ra)

[pine glade]

The LAG is incredibly bad tonight....Twice now it lagged so bad it froze while turning in Officer recruit tokens that I have no idea what I even got...

if I got anything at all

[finite mural]

The lag is unrelated to the officer pull freezing, you did receive shards though.

[lusty basin]

April has 30 days 😁

[toxic coyote]

The borg sphere seems to be another one trick pony, but to get the full benefits you need your whole alliance to use one too?

I hope Scopely gives players an option of not having to go to their email (extra work) to get a login code to the webstore. I know they want to move to a password free method but giving users options to choose a more secure method or just using an account password should be allowed for the webstore.

[clever snow]

When promo code will return.
We have 4 april and promo end in 6 april.

[keen loom]

Neither is the lack of player spending in the last six months. All time low - and Scopley has to try and make money while doing none of the things players are demanding. See the bug list above.

[fluid mist]

and is the 7th at the middle of the month no it isn't my point is still valid just a day off big deal rofl

[quick flume]

Any news on release g5 scrapping?

asking for a friend

[fluid mist]

does your whole alliance need to actually use it or do they just need to spend enough ship repairs and materials and directives to help you earn enough credits to unlock the thing for free. I think both your statement and mine is true

[pliant kernel]

Question. I just tiered my 2nd selkie and it was 1 mil more lat expensive than the 1st I tiered up. Both are at the same tier now. Anyone know how that happens?

[civic haven]

These descriptions don’t tell you whether the item is an artifact, FT, or CT. That information would be helpful.

[pliant kernel]

Artifacts have that tiny insignia in the corner. But it doesn't say which tech it is. But it is a tech

[neon atlas]

We need a site dedicated to listing all the bugs

[civic haven]

Ditto for refits versus projectiles.

[civic haven]

Well for starters, we could use the correct channel: https://discord.com/channels/509679626763632640/509686569649831936

[hollow plover]

those aren't new bugs no one is aware of - those are bugs, some of them are years old, already known and it is about reminding them to pay their technical debt

[neon atlas]

Teue. There's a lot of noise in there, and no feedback or action taken on the bugs reported in there, but probably just as ignored here

[signal bison]

It would go a long way to restoring faith, for me at least, if there was a web page (not Discord channel) where all the known bugs were listed, with date raised, and a roadmap to them being solved for each one. Even if it says for some bugs, "low priority, likely not fixed in next 3 months" it would reassure that they do actually intend to fix them.

[river spindle]

That kind of webpage would crash the whole internet

[keen loom]

We all know it’s not coming until Scopley has it reduced to a useless state.

They cannot have people be adequately rewarded for scrapping the multiple g5 ships they’ve spent either time and or money on over the years.

Everyone knows, this is exclusively the reason it’s not been released.

For many - Scopley being unfair about this, and let me be clear, unfair about this in the eyes of the players - will be the last straw for many.

[keen loom]

Wont ever happen. Scopley refuses to acknowledge specified bugs, as acknowledgment drives rights for consumers.

[signal bison]

Yes true, if they admitted the GS31 was broken, or that all original Forbidden Tech is sold with misleading max stats, or that Outposts don't give the rewards they advertise (and all of these things people put real money into) they could be in trouble. In fact every day I'm amazed someone doesn't try and make a claim

[oblique dew]

You don’t have to go to email. Below boxes tap Sign in with password instead.

[finite mural]

that open has been removed for the majority of players

if you still have the option, count yourself lucky

[cyan isle]

Why would anyone ask their friends to suffer? By ignoring what problems you guys created, to cause people to leave. They won’t come back until you fix your garbage.

Scopley needs to understand. What players they have left. Aren’t happy. The only reason they haven’t quit. Is they hold on to the account they spent money on, because they aren’t ready to quit. But they are ready to give up the garbage this game has become.

[void timber]

Exactly. I lost my password login three weeks ago. Since then i wasn't in the shop. I mentioned it here in the channel. No login - no business. Simply math. 👀

[slim shoal]

Some more to add:

• On mobile, as of last month's mid-arc patch, the Titan-A icon is replaced with a voyager icon in ship list at dock. (Took me 6 weeks to realize this, thought the ship was just gone lol)
• When going to the Veil after a reboot, its required to first go to a non-Veil system, do an action that 'refreshes' the game (move a ship, start a research, collect chests, etc.). Otherwise the Veil system doesn't load properly (hostiles are there, but its a 'fresh' system with newly spawned hostiles, no player ships, and you cannot properly target any of the ships.)
• Cannot raise a shield on your base if you are looking at a Veil system, or if the last 'refresh' action you took was when you were looking at a Veil system.
• Lag is now so prevalent that the Kir-Shara artifact is broken. Loading up 10 hostiles, it spazzes out and passes over the majority of them without actually engaging them. (Last test: I had 18 hostiles queued; 8 got killed.)
• When repairing ships, the lag often takes 5+ seconds to actually repair the ship. In those 5+ seconds there is often random popups about having clicked the wrong box, asking me if I want to spend massive amounts of lat to repair, (I didn't click anything other than repair, and only did so once), shows the ship as destroyed again, shows the ship as repaired but its not yet, etc. A process that used to be instant now takes 5 to 10 seconds. Per ship.
• Loading a system takes 5+ seconds now, when it used to take milliseconds.
• The spinning 'game is thinking' icon is an ever present part of the game now. Never know if a chest pull, starting a research, checking on an event, etc. will give us the dreaded spinning circle of frustration or not, but more often than not its there, and it lasts for a few to 10+ seconds at a time.
• Lag makes doing daily pulls an exercise so frustrating that I've cut in half what I now pull. I often have to reload my game several times during my pulls now, due to stuck animations not loading chest contents and locking up the game.

<@&509690795536941056>

The complete gutting of player value this month is a massive issue in and of itself, but putting that aside for the moment the decline in the technical state of this game over the last two months or so is incredible. Its actually the worst I can remember in the history of the entire game. There are no official announcements discussing this, no indication that Scopely is aware that the day to day playing of this game is now close to unplayable.

Our AC chat is more barren than I can remember, and our list of players who haven't logged in over the last 24 hours is higher than its ever been. We are the top alliance on our server and its becoming a ghost town. I've stuck around for an awful lot of nonsense, but I literally cannot even play this game in its current state.

What's is going on?

[coral dagger]

I keep thinking our chat is broken because no one has said anything in hours. Turns out no one has said anything in hours.

[ivory rain]

I see it with us too… We're the TTOP alliance… But there's hardly any participation in the events because the players aren't putting up with this nonsense anymore… The rewards are just ridiculous now… The downward spiral is accelerating… A broken, bad game with a company where greed is the main focus…

[robust kelp]

Not a single word about the massive problems this game has...what a garbage company..and that's being generous

[tropic crown]

Lag lag lag laggy lag lag!

[snow grotto]

the same update that resulted in the "ghost hostile" issue (which has since been fixed) also resulted in persistent desync issues surrounding the repair of ships, making an action that took ~2 seconds now take ~10 seconds as we have to wait for resync after every repair; this dramatically changes the dynamics of territory defenses, so this is actually a huge balance change even though it's just a technical error; please fix this when possible

[manic sapphire]

Trying to open a system with auto attack hostiles has gotten so bad that I have had times I can't get a system open before a hostile kills my ship BECAUSE OF LAG

[novel depot]

Hasn’t been fixed on 706. Ghosts are so very much still a thing. I literally just did an MU wave where realistically a third of the hostiles I clicked on were ghosts.

I know there is lots of problems with the game at the moment but like I have told my fleet, plz hold on it will get better.
On the flip side I have managed to get 3 new members over the past few weeks, and have meet a lot of lovely people from other servers on twitch.

we are just doing the BP and any event we can, but we spend most of our time helping our lower level players.
pass’s the time.

[novel depot]

It won’t get better. You’re on an older server. When has Scopely improved anything? Ever? You’ll get a “comp chest”.

Let’s just call a spade a spade at this point and recognize that we are being milked for every last dime until the game actually dies. It’s why I’ve gone f2p. I’m addicted to the dopamine but am aware that Scopely is not a good faith actor. Clearly there is no profit incentive to improve on the user experience in the game. And is that surprising at this point?

[grave quest]

i would put money down they are preparing an EoL / end of active development message right now and just trying to juice us all one last time.

[slim shoal]

Somehow earning a few $100 packs from a whale or two is seen as better than earning $20 from 100+ players.

Star Trek as an IP has been around for DECADES. Its fans are usually older, have wealth and are willing to spend it frivolously on IP-related products. To start from that baseline 7 years ago and end up with THIS mess of a product, instead of just investing properly and creating a stable product that puts some effort into usability and quality, is easily the most infuriating thing about where we're at. This game should be humming along like WoW or Genshin Impact have done. As fans we should be arguing about which arc has been better or worse, which ship or character has been the most useful, etc. Instead we constantly have to find reasons to stick around. Like an abused partner.

I know its been said already by plenty of others, but their hilariously out of touch effort asking us to try to bring back those friends who have left the game just reminded me of all the players we've lost over the years. The vast, vast majority of them are still gaming, still Trek fans, still spending disposable money on similar products. It reminded me of just how far this company and game have fallen. Its 100% made me think of finally ending my account for good. It certainly has not enticed me to ask friends to come back. Can you imagine? Bringing people who managed to escape back to this lag-infested, bug-ridden farce of a product? I'd be so embarrassed. They'd rightly question my sanity. 😆

[slim shoal]

I used to think statements like this were just hyperbole. Why would they shut down something that made them money? Not like they cared about the negative backlash, they just kept counting the profits. But the software is now in such a poor state that it does seem like their interest in this product is ending.

[coral dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-homer-simpson-the-end-is-near-apocalypse-gif-7204975

yeah. right with you. in the six years i’ve been active here, there have been bad arcs, terrible launches, bad comms, and nasty bugs. months with bad lag, and a lot of frustration. Never has there been a situation like this where players have been left with the feeling they scopes didn’t care anymore, compounded with last ditch efforts to get players to purchase outdated content and try to get us to reinlist former players. it’s not just one thing leading me to be willing to wager EoL is coming soon, it’s the whole package.

[grave hawk]

I've been trying to tell people, they just don't care.

[keen loom]

If any of what has been said was vaguely inaccurate Scopley would be addressing the troves of negative feedback.

[celest summit]

Tacos

[celest summit]

Oops wrong spot lol

[fluid mist]

exactly how many times have we said stuff and boom there's hammy or simpauly or even arsenic with a comment afterwards. Now after days and days of our comments just being funneled in here we barely have any peeps from those 3 other than announcement pings and the 1 random comment they do in the other channels rather than in here. If the cms ain't trying to defuse us and reroute our comments its tells us more than scopley making pay walls every arc.

[fluid mist]

who's gonna stop you a cm that never comes in here in almost 6 days rofl

[balmy shadow]

Too many people bought the sphere, and with revenue up nothing else matters.

[acoustic geyser]

Do you have data?

[vestal pebble]

Relax you all I am sure improvements are coming, I can understand your frustration I have it too, sometimes I question my self is it really worst now that have ever been. But in reality when raining are you trying to prevent the proccess, so with game issues arises sometimes they are not so easy to fix on spot but we all agree that the proccess is underway and I believe ..... what was I thinking... Nah you all go home the game is just a memory now... No thats not what I mean, I am just trying to lighten the mood... Fixes are coming I am sure and hope.

[slim shoal]

Ham and Pauly are great, and I’m sure there’s lots of great human beings on the stfc dev team.

But the vibe these days is very much just people going through the motions, doing what is expected of them, and nothing more.

I don’t blame them one bit. It’s hard to stay motivated when the company has let it get to this point. When it’s clear the big wigs don’t really give a 💩 it’s extra hard day in and day out to find some f’s to give as well. So you do whats required of your job, to get paid and live, and check out on the rest.

I can only imagine what went through their heads when they pushed out the coms on the try to get old players to come back program. With the state the game is currently in. Ham and Pauly are smart dudes, they know how that’s going to look. There’s a certain amount of ‘ah whatever’ needed to just post it anyway.

Yeah… I mean I want them to have fun. It’s a game, and making a game should be fun.

But it has to be a working product before you can call it a game. Right now it’s just a frustrating mess, has been for weeks and weeks, with no end in sight.

They can have fun and play when they’ve done the work to make a functional product. Work before play and all that.

[coral dagger]

We have 7/90 people on anymore

At a good time

[slow vector]

The game's design of late is causing a growing division between high and low ops players in terms of events, maverick tasks, and things like surges that's driving high level players to consolidate into one or two alliances or fall behind.

It's always been like this to some extent, when being able to do group armadas was difficult, but the schism is being widened by ALB events where only half the alliance can even participate and stuff like surge directives where only 71+ can start them. You're going to end up with one alliance on every server having all the g7 players while the others have a constant power drain as people leave for that one alliance. I don't think this is a positive thing for the community on servers

[earnest junco]

Have they fixed the promo code thing yet? First time I tried to use CNTCT it sent me to the $99 store. Since then it tells me I am not eligible.

[vestal pebble]

Lol, it was showing you the way.

[keen loom]

Good ol Connor was on that cruise. Because PR trumps product management and stability.

[thick turret]

Game is crashing over and over since midnight. Completely unable to play

[full gate]

Lag worse last 1.5 days or so, major delays on clicking anything

[sterile stream]

Why don't you call the game "STAR TREK: Error Command"? ...
STAR TREK: Visual disaster Command ...
STAR TREK: Stuck in the loading screen Command ...
STAR TREK: Invalid ship location Command ...
STAR TREK: Retrieving... Command ...
No wonder the players are running away in droves.

[sage wadi]

[boreal ferry]

titan icon still there even after reinstall for some played

here’s a new error screen I’ve never seen before too, guess the asteroids exploded ?

[hollow plover]

There are way to many Mississippis running down the river doing anything, like claiming something, opening event view, etc.

[sage wadi]

Okay I try to fit it in the list 😅

[cedar narwhal]

You missed some:
-Missing extended zoom
-Reduced graphic (LD or MD instead of HD)
-AT store keeps jumping to the top

And I think you should split the list into two, Discord has a character limit. 😶‍🌫️

[sage wadi]

I don't feel extended zoom is missing, I have it. Graphics guess automatically set to phone. I have graphic settings on PC. And last 2 times AT store stopped jumping.

Anybody else has these?

[cedar narwhal]

The extended zoom is Missing in the settings, (players with community mod probably don't have the problem). This is the max I can zoom out without it

#🛠-known-issues message Missing extended zoom and graphic downgrade were mentioned in known issues

And AT store was always jumping to the top for me

[sage wadi]

Max for me on phone

[slow vector]

I saw another person complaining about the lack of extended zoom in settings with a screenshot of it not being there and their graphic quality showed as MD and couldn't be changed. If they previously had HD and extended zoom, it's an unannounced change or bug by scopely

on android. dunno about iphone

and yeah, like he said, it's in known issues

[cedar narwhal]

Hmm, that's how it should be with extended zoom. I'm missing the extended zoom option in the settings (the app is up to date).

[cedar narwhal]

I always had HD graphic, now only LD

[slow vector]

scopely went on a spiel about how they didn't need to pause content updates in order to address all the bugs because they're separate teams, but seemingly ignored the fact that if you keep piling more content onto a struggling system you're only going to make it worse

[sage wadi]

I don't have graphic or zoom problems. Not on phone, not on pc 🤔 But I believe you

[fast anvil]

wait I don't have that🤣

also since they're pushing for arenas to be a gamemode, could also add "unable to see your docks ships in arenas after having to restart to fix another bug" not sure if I got a picture, think I do just gotta dig it out

[sage wadi]

Do you have the bug when returned from arena a few minutes later a 2nd "returning" happens?

[fast anvil]

oh I've seen that before but I've never screenshotted it

[sage wadi]

Okay, so I'm not alone. Haven't put it to the list, because never saw somebody else have it.

[fast anvil]

another one being crashing when returning to your server after arena match

[orchid creek]

Can anyone tell me where to find the program hub , so I can check the spectrogram ..

[flint river]

Why is Khan unlock bundle still available once I unlock Khan ? It's just misleading people to waste resources, being next to Khan upgrade, accidentally exchanging trophies for unlock instead of upgrade

[ripe jetty]

if i need to upgrade to building lvl 61 to see, which boni i will have from 61, it doesn't make much sense

[sage wadi]

Exactly, it doesn't. Definitely we could make a "No sense List" too.

[waxen patio]

When that bug launched it only affected mobile players who reinstalled the game at the time

[cedar narwhal]

OK, an idea how to fix it? Support?

[waxen patio]

Sadly not, although you could try

[cedar narwhal]

I'll try it, but it probably won't work

[sage wadi]

You can vote how many bugs will be fixed from the list 🤭

[hallow star]

-1 😂

[hollow plover]

if we're lucky

[sage wadi]

You are the winner

[grave hawk]

It would be a solid bet on polymarket, that scopely won't fix one of these within the next 6 months.

[runic canopy]

Did you ever figure this out?

[orchid creek]

@runic canopy nope ,put a ticket into scopely saying no cm or mods on to help could they advise ...no reply yet

[runic canopy]

Ok thanks for the quick response

[idle skiff]

The saddest thing about the list is that you probably spent longer compiling it than Scopely will pretending to fix the problems.

Most of the issues have been there for months, in some cases years. They either can't fix them because of the many layers of poor coding, or they won't fix them because "where's the profit".

There is no long term view from Scopely, they will happily lose players, believing they can recruit new players to replace those that walk away...Or run an event to encourage players to return (wonder how well that is working!)

Despite Conor making his promises, the game is not getting better, it is deteriorating, and will continue to do so.

Sad, but true.

[round tapir]

I'm pretty sure that the zoom out is worse than yesterday 😕

[hallow star]

Well, where is the profit if you lose your spenders / players? And with all those bugs and stuff that doesn't get better many left the game...and the return event atm doesn't really help😂 I quited about 6 months ago and came back cause a mate asked me to help with that event...I'm again back in the game for 1.5 days and oh boy, the lag and bugs got way worse than it was already! And bavk at the time when I quited it was bad already...
I mean, I have that reactivation protokoll event that you get if you came back and I did enough stuff to reach the 5th milestone, but for I can't even claim those milestones! Like what is this? You try to get players back and the first or one of the first things you see that things got even worse? It makes me sad to see, but sadly it's like that...

So yea, I fully agree with you on those points. It makes me sad to see what happened to the game...

Btw, if you mention that reactivation stuff. What are the known bugs there? Is the bug I have with the milestones known? Or are there even more?😆

[errant brook]

The game reached its peak like 3 years ago. Then scopely was sold to a public investment fund and all went straight downhill.
Monetarisation first, quality last - forced content pushing, 5 new ships a year while bugs increased and performance decreased.

Had to leave the game 5 months ago and it was the best decision. Before I felt punished for progressing (OPS71) and dont wanted to play around bugs, performance issues and decisions against the player base while grinding in 2 many different loops.

Stfc is a unique game with awesome ideas, but they messed it up.
I hope for a kind of stfc2 when stfc will get to end of life state.

[sage wadi]

I harbor no illusion that compiling and publishing this list will prompt any meaningful response from Scopely. When the game will shut down and a misleading justification will be presented, this record will stand as clear evidence of what was ignored and what the real reasons were.

[fluid mist]

I wonder if there's any data so far on if players have actually returned to the game say since last years mass exodus of all those players in March to June I'd wager none has returned

[fast anvil]

see now's the time to give that offer that u guys always give. why bother putting it in the offer tab if it isn't discounted

[carmine yew]

the offer is the free tech unlock with it

[last nymph]

Still a terrible deal.

[fast anvil]

yea it's still horrible cuz the tech is made for the Borg sphere

[somber orchid]

And might take awhile to upgrade

[ripe hatch]

No Easter event this year? 😢

Maybe at event reset

but, Easter is practically over 😛

Why the hell are upper ops getting a basic Borg Probe event???

[jaunty prism]

Running a returning players event without fixing any of the issues that made people quit in the first place is a bold move. The game is still as laggy as ever, it still takes 30+ minutes just to do daily claims.

[keen loom]

That’s a plus 1 for players tired of the same empty promises.

[opaque raft]

Why can’t I use my codes for special things I’m supposed to have until April 6

does anyone know what these "First Contact Relics" are for? (that I keep exchanging vouchers for, but have no way of redeeming?

There is no redeeming them, they're for tracking for the leaderboard, you can follow the isntructions here to gain access to early info - #⭐-official-announcements message

Follow-up question - some of the text from #resistance-liaison implies that by logging in today, something (a badge) will be earned - I am in-game (so have clearly logged in today) but nothing received - or is that the "First Contact" avatar?

then can I ask where we find the "Timed Sphere Spectrogram"?

happy to delete any of my messages if I am posting spoilers.

Getting a notification from this discord to join this discord kinda seems redundant

[opal pike]

@scopley how many more times do we need to ask? Don't make us beg. OK, I'm begging... More lag, please...

[slim shoal]

My alliance is 87/103 members. We used to be full. Other alliances on our server are ~ 90/105, 89/101, etc.

Players left, and didn’t go to other alliances. They just left.

We recently had an old guard player return (they were ops 44 when they left) and they seem to be enjoying themselves. Powering through old content for free, and at a blistering pace probably is reasonably fun.

But our whales that left, 5 ops 70 players that dipped out before g7 launched, none have come back. Ditto the ops 70+ players in other alliances that left. And if any of them dropped in for a peek to see how the game is now, why would any of them stay? The game was more stable when they left.

[flint elm]

but the in-game news says the maintenance isn't until tomorrow?

<@&509690795536941056> pre-maintenance tomorrow or now?

[wooden spire]

STFC exists in the quantum realm where bug addition, I mean maintenance occurs both now and then. Just like bugs get fixed and don’t.

[neat dune]

Ok so why do I still have to do stuff to collect the blue first contact relics when I have no where to spend them I have over 30k of them what is the use of it

[ebon jackal]

I have some more:

• kirshara causes ship to freeze in place visually
• trying to utilize kirshara on mutliple ships causes error messages to be thrown
• some kirshara errors cause the entire queue to be auto-cancelled
• ships show negative value attack timers
• ships warp instantly, bypassing the timer
• ships engage in warp without updating the UI resulting in error messages until the ship arrives, during this time the ship does not appear anywhere on the map and cannot be interacted with
• impulse movement in systems throws warp errors
• upgrade timers display "free" with more than 5 minutes remaining, attempting to use the "free" button throws an error
• officer shard claims result in a "0/0" blank claim, followed by the game client locking
• using the flyout mission action buttons takes you to the wrong system or mission
• wave defense data display is broken
• wave defense center damage counter is broken
• wave defenses can be viewed in system by players not in the defense
• following a join link for a wave defense opens the system view and then gives an "inaccessible" error when trying to send ships
• using locate on ships redirects to a random system
• switching system view prior to the warp countdown timer completing reverts the view to the previous system or ship location, when the timer reaches zero

• MU displays a 'you must be within the rift to use it' error message only when the player's ship is within the rift
• if a PvE chest is earned while claiming PvE chests, the total number does not decrease, resulting in a store error message (i.e. if you have 85 and two come in during the spinning wheel, the claims complete but the number will show as 87 and not let you claim it)
• attempting to reset a mining node shows it still occupied with the player's own ship

Glitched chaser hostiles never despawn, preventing regular hostiles from spawning in their place.

[sage wadi]

I will read it with attention. But please note that I have not much characters left to fit in discord's max limit 😂 too much bugs

[keen loom]

Post maintenance prediction: no improvements.

[haughty sail]

Prediction is even more lag with everyone trying to get back in 😛

[keen loom]

Someone should drop the obligatory “if we didn’t test, nothing would work” Bek SS - just to get it out of the way.

[coral dagger]

Can't wait to see what bugs we're getting in about an hour

[vivid ginkgo]

My prediction is a 2 hour maintenance with a roll back on the intended maintenance cause it broke even more

[novel depot]

At least it’s a hopeful sign. I’ve been very hard on scopely for the last couple of weeks. I will hope in good faith that whatever they are doing results in some gameplay improvement. But I give an unvarnished opinion on the end result, too.

[wet fiber]

At this point it's easier to say what does work 🤣

[north dune]

At the moment nothing 🤣

Maintenance

[wooden beacon]

Unplanned maintenance?

[hushed fox]

So you announced downtime, short notice but fine. 20:19 you said for 60 minutes.
Why is the game down for maintenance already? We had 4 secs left on an armada, and its down 5 minutes before its meant to. Honestly, great communication, VERY poor execution guys, just ruined my krenim formations for another week

[lunar forge]

[untold laurel]

first contact? more like zero contact, am I right?

[weary charm]

I predict that they'll have it up in thirty minutes, and announce that they couldn't quite fix all the problems, and then prepare another one of those mostly useless compensation bundles

It's going to come back up with even worse lag than there was.

[weary charm]

Oh, there will be more lag. At this point it definitely feels more like a feature than a bug.

[untold laurel]

$99.99 anti-lag prime coming to the store

[rocky cosmos]

which servers are down? 401 is still up

[weary charm]

I can't wait for Rev Deuce to put out a video about this.

[brittle reef]

Again no info on the yellow shields. It's late. Some people have another job to go to tomorrow.

[trim needle]

Well, I understand the need for maintenance, however the maintenance today is 24 hours ahead of the announced schedule. There is no place in the world where it is Tuesday 7 April 2026 yet. Very Confusing.

[feral jewel]

Another?

[finite mural]

The ign blog was wrong and fixed

[feral jewel]

I could go for some chocolate chip cookies 🍪 right about now

[quaint lynx]

While we're waiting, let's go play clash of clans. Not lag. No expensive packs. No features that are broken upon release... Just plain old head bashing fun.

[weary charm]

I've noticed lately that with each video Rev Deuce is finding it harder to stay charitable to Scopely about these ongoing issues.

[trim needle]

The time and date istill remain on the official announcements channel

[oak nexus]

Where is the first contact store for all the relics they been giving us all week

[finite mural]

The announcement on discord is correct though

[untold laurel]

But the store is still up, so that's good.

[feral jewel]

Yes, thank god we can still buy stuff

[rocky cosmos]

@finite mural How can the Discord be correct? My game is still up and maintenace should have started 10 minutes ago?

[ancient solar]

409 seems to be one of them but there were several announcements in the global chat before it happened

[untold laurel]

don't worry, they'll get around to breaking yours soon enough

[tacit needle]

This has to be one of the most unstable, lag infested MMO's I've ever played

Thanks

Why put an avatar in a Spring Bundle Claim? We don’t care about avatars

[unkempt goblet]

So how broken was it that y'all pulled the game in the middle of the afternoon on a weekend on a holiday when we already have maintenance scheduled in like 38 hours.

[pastel swift]

Mainteaster holidays

[rocky cosmos]

This maintenance is to fix something, Tuesday's maintenance is to introduce new bugs

[pastel swift]

This maintenance is to prepare bugs they launch on Tuesday

[slate vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/bugs-bug-insects-cockroaches-music-gif-5045519

[ruby moat]

That 60 min that would probably be 30 as turned into more than an hour. So expected

[latent timber]

"One Maintenance is enough to fix bugs for a AAA game for a whole month" "How many did you have?" "Four"

[tropic crown]

Man how bad has the game population fallen if they are doing this on a Sunday and a holiday at that’s!

[latent timber]

well it ll probably be worse after maintenance XD

[rigid hornet]

you do better job and informing us on when there's going to be unexpected maintenance on Easter

[tropic crown]

Unfortunately that probably true.

[noble iris]

An hours notice and then loads of 0900 UTC messages is conflicting information.

[brittle reef]

@finite mural any news on this?

[finite mural]

There is something off with the sync logs, had other players report it showing items removed when they weren't

[unkempt goblet]

I didn't see the discord because I was in game doing formadas. I saw the GC pop-up WHEN I started a formada. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[north dune]

Going to be fun… patch is called “deadlock fix test” 🤣

[brittle reef]

Could be. But you're 100% sure we get the patterns?

[finite mural]

yes

[latent timber]

it usually adds them, removes them, then adds em again. removes em, adds em and removes em again. depending on what direction you are going.

[pastel swift]

Left

[weary charm]

There better be a decent compensation package after this "maintenance" or a lot of people will be very upset

[quick gale]

Why isn’t Connor on here taking feedback?! His company is failing terribly and ignoring customers that are investing a lot into the game with nothing to show for it as this crap show keeps failing

[meager frigate]

No compensation will be good enough for this one.

[untold laurel]

Blame Redis in 3...2...1...

[north dune]

Test fix🤣 they not even sure?

[weary charm]

Are we about due for another one of those hostage video / apology video things?

[rocky cosmos]

EU-401 just went into maintenance

[untold laurel]

"deadlock-fix-test". I hope they're wearing the "I don't test my code, but when I do its in prod" shirts

[tacit bobcat]

I'd settle for proof of life at this point 😂

[vital rock]

#🛠-known-issues message

8h is not enough. They will drop at 6am. Ppl are sleeping at such times

[quick gale]

At this point he should resign

Is there gonna be an event store for FCD or what?

[opaque raft]

I dont want to see him back at all. He failed miserably multiple times. He should not have the job anymore.

[fading robin]

Who the heck is Connor? 🤣

[peak scarab]

As long as he can present good sales figures, nothing will happen 🤷

[untold laurel]

I was thinking the name of the hamster that powers the game

maybe its a tribble in disguise. I don't ask questions

[storm oracle]

Accidentally deleted the game?

[limber steeple]

this is an outrage

[vale scroll]

outage you mean

[maiden moon]

I’m shocked that a game that has been developed extremely poorly for seven years has had to have emergency maintenance! We could never have predicted this!

[lunar ocean]

Use this opportunity to take a break from the game. I know from experience that it's good for your mental health

[untold laurel]

but I just came in from that and it was down my life is ruined

[slender ledge]

Why is Scopely giving out "gifts" that only annoys players endlessly?

[last nymph]

The fact I can’t immediately tell what you’re referencing is pretty bad.

[wise knoll]

Fantastic, every day scopely surprise me, and I understand why I am L67 without paying.

[slender ledge]

Whatever was ij today's gifts today... First day gift, or whatever, with some obscure thing that I have no idea what is

[dense haven]

i dont even know what they were casue the screen was empty

[tulip light]

When you said “about half an hour” were you using earth hours?

[opaque raft]

So there is an emergency ‘maintenance’ for some vague reason, and scopely cannpt even handle that. Game still down. 8h emergency shield ends at 6am so is worthless

A game company run by Ferengi, and DevOps by Pakleds.

[slender ledge]

DevOps strong

[fast oak]

if it were run by Ferengi, it would always be up even if coders had to manually process every player action.🤣

[slender ledge]

I play the game, I enjoy my company, but nothing - like NOTHING - Scopely do enhance the game. Everything is about my team in the alliance.

Scopely could stop adding anything and the game would improve!

It would remove the frustration with new things that adds friction and pain

[untold laurel]

and support by the Tamarians

[keen loom]

Scopley must be extending maintenance for all that pre implementation testing.

[vivid ginkgo]

I called it!
Extended cause garbage code 🤣

[quick gale]

Connor, when the walls fell

[polar dune]

Who would have guessed it won't be finished in 30 min???

[untold laurel]

I mean why wouldn't the maintenance have lag. its what they do

[fast oak]

Doesnt Scopley realize, if we cant play, we will interact with our families on Easter? Crime rates will rise!🤣

[quick gale]

They ain’t fixed anything in 7 years, no chance of them finding the on switch in 30minutes

[vivid frigate]

the 12 hour ceasefire has only 7 hours left. Did I pass out for like 5 hours or so?

https://tenor.com/view/galaxy-quest-exploded-galaxyquest-it-exploded-and-it-exploded-gif-9958918907607055263

Someone should call this guy at home and prepare him for the epic failure already in progress.

[brittle reef]

It's an 8 hour and started when the maintenance started. So only a 7h 12m now.

[dense haven]

I bet there fix broke 7 more things

[vale scroll]

You just know people must have been getting free stuff in game, via some bug exploit for this unplanned maintenance, they don't do this for bugs usually else it would be offline 20 times per day.

[unkempt goblet]

I've been in this game long enough that I remember that one time we had regularly scheduled Tuesday maintenance. The game was supposed to be back up at like 7 AM eastern. The game was not back up until like 3:30 PM eastern because they couldn't figure out how to unbreak their game.

And that was in 2022. 🤣 a 2-3 hour maintenance became an 11 hour maintenance.

[keen loom]

For a company that acknowledges frequently they need to better communicate - this is another epic failure.

You can’t tell me you didn’t know before today “infrastructure improvements” would occur.

Get with the program.

[untold laurel]

... and that was the last day they updated their infrastructure

[knotty quarry]

We all know WHY they did it. Holiday pay AND OT. Double time and a half! I mean I would "accidentally" trip on a coard and get a few extra hours.

[red rampart]

Emergency Rations doesn't cut it for this fiasco. One hour notice for a supposed 30 minutes maintenance that's now over an hour with no end in sight is ridiculous especially when there is already scheduled maintenance on Tuesday for the mid month update.

[quick gale]

Coding standards could have prevented this maintenance

[knotty quarry]

We all know WHY they did it. Holiday pay AND OT. Double time and a half! I mean I would "accidentally" trip on a coard and get a few extra hours.

https://tenor.com/view/dumpsterfire-flooding-fail-gif-13031064

Plus we need holiday pay. They gave us a boatload of events on a holiday.

[weak trellis]

<@&509690795536941056> / <@&509691205798592532> Could we get a better idea of when maintenance is expected to be completed?

[red rampart]

@unkempt goblet, 2022 was during the interregnum when I wasn't playing

[finite mural]

when we know more, we'll say something

[untold laurel]

I went from ops 50 to ops 51 this morning. Was that really all it took to break the game? 🤣

Unscheduled Maintenance wth

Maybe the Hostile in Romulus was not supposed to be borg

[unkempt goblet]

Welcome to G5. Hope you have ships that can hit V'ger hostiles. 🤣

[untold laurel]

yes why would you do that

[potent pike]

Maybe this maintenance is a late April Fools joke?

[knotty quarry]

Devs gotta pay for that jetski

[untold laurel]

that's funny you think they pay their devs. and if they did it is hourly

[grave quest]

they better not go “hey, we don’t need such a long cease fire shield, let’s shorten it to four hours” while eu sleeps…. see brokely, you broke that trust with that move a few weeks ago

[knotty quarry]

Or more likely they Uhura shapped RealDoll

[manic talon]

Nothing 99.99 can fix this time around

[warm cape]

All these events and the 3 million borgs they want us to kill on a holiday .. plus a broken maintenance.. do better scoply
