i gave up trying to mine those tiny nodes. i now hit the burial ship armadas instead. 😅

[lavish flume]

When is scopely going to fix the lag? It has broken the kir'shara auto targeting queue. This game has been such a dumpster fire for the last year...

[molten jungle]

Not doing this loop doesn’t equal falling behind. There’s still 3 older loops to work on. This loop begins with G6, but was clearly designed for G7 anyway.

[full gate]

I have had enough Scopely. I dont even wanna wait around to see if things change. This Scopely company is trash. This game is trash now. This ARC is the worst yet. I can't even grind enough to get one refinery pull. So this academy loot has been completely stopped under Update 91.

So If I can't work the loop, I cant play, Scopely hates the player and I'm about done with this game entirely.

[stable hedge]

that means Server merge incoming 😄

[full gate]

My mind is made up. Archiving my account tomorrow. I dont think anything is going to improve.

[rare vale]

I lobe these last 2 arcs. They've made it so easy to put the game down and spend time doing literally anything else.

Oh, and great job locking the single most requested QoL item behind a login counter (which may be the single most tone deaf thing ever done in this gane), and also locking the new mission behind buying the new ship... yet Scopely wonders why the game is failing...

[swift sphinx]

Forza 6 is a blast, get it

[hallow granite]

I got a choice asked if was gonna build new ship now or later. I chose build later and finished my mission. Sometimes ya gotta read the choices

[stable hedge]

the problem is the most people just klick it and don`t read it

[dire wigeon]

It doesn't help one option gives a useless amount of xp and the other ship parts

Even if you don't build now the parts are farvmore valuable

[loud cove]

@raw fiber @tidal notch how do I disable this? I don’t want it, never asked for it, implemented horribly. Can you make it like a little square with a magnify glass icon to tap on instead of a field?

[graceful cedar]

Or .... put it all the way to the right of the screen .... out of the way ..... instead of right in the worst possible spot because where it is now is a negative Q.O.L. impact.

[pale vapor]

Feedback for the Academy arc, it is actively preventing me from opsing up. I am barely able to afford the claims at 63 killing the 61s and 62s, and the Athena is going to make this worse. So even though I am ready to go as high as 66 I am not until my building is in a better spot and I have the Athena. Opsing up now will remove my ability to do this content, so I am not going to do so for the next three months (at least).

[full gate]

Just spent $89 on a new game. Bye Bye greedy Scopely. Don't waste your money on a broken game that hates you.

[brisk ibex]

Scopley’s Dev’s are trolling us for making them add it in

[graceful cedar]

but we didn't actually make them do anything ..... if we could, the game would be fixed and working properly. 🤔

[flint smelt]

This is the worst step up. 150k for 2 would've been more 'usual' for the 5x increase, but a 30x step is insanity.

[undone bridge]

<@&509690795536941056> can bulk claim for the faction officer recruit pulls be increased from a max bulk pull of 1 to 3

I not able to login in game , does anyone have the some problem?

[vernal grove]

Wishing everyone the ability to think long and hard about the state of the game rn before deciding what they spend money on. Matter of time before the game night not exist if you think about👍🏻(this message doesn’t go against server guidelines, MODS)

[upbeat ether]

Careful they're pretty sensitive, you'll get a 3 day ban for "advocating a boycott"

[wild hearth]

they dropped a 3 day ban on me a couple of weeks ago, and then a 5 day ban on top of it while the first one was still active. "sensitive" doesn't begin to describe how delicate their feelings are. a pity they don't care about ours

[vernal grove]

They already got me for that. I’m not advocating anything. Just wishing people to take consideration with their finances

[mild cobalt]

So it says at the beginning of the surveys you send out that you choose which ones you acknowledge and which ones you don't. That kind of sounds like you're just accepting the ones that say what you want to hear and discarding everything else. Which honestly fits the last several years of updates.

[dark wolf]

It doesn't count tho.. bc he said it doesn't go against the server guidelines.. It's a common loophole that can be used in a variety of ways

[wild hearth]

To rework an old saying: the lack of purchases will continue until quality and value improve.

[vast field]

Is g5 scrapping no longer available?

[wild hearth]

and of course, I'm talking about my own personal spending, as we're all free to do as we wish when it comes to discretionary spending

[dark wolf]

Currently nothing is available

[vast field]

I could login fine 😬

[upbeat ether]

I think there is a term for someone that enforces rules against those who publicly dissent

[vernal grove]

Just saying I wouldn’t continue to pay the same rent if the landlord doubled it and halved the access I had to the property

[wild hearth]

one could argue that given what was initially offered, it was never available in the first place

[vast field]

Wtf is this

[umbral gull]

I'm ready to give them thousands of dollars but I can't even collect a daily mission key, why would I do this

[dark wolf]

you were expecting G5 scrapping to be helpful?

[vast field]

I mean i scrapped a ship already, they just changed the requirements

[umbral gull]

I'm also curious why this game or the developers don't seem to care about people botting or hacking with clear cut video evidence? Like if it's because the guy spends tons just tell us so we can all level the playing field pls

I'm just saying I spent way more than the guy in question so I just wanna know if I'm clear also

Would love some sort of answer on this one

[upbeat ether]

Answers to your questions i think were part of the Mythic battlepass.

[umbral gull]

I just need some sort of acknowledgement, would be solid, like I'd love to just post a video here for you all to see and judge what scopely seems to think is fine behaviour

[oblique dew]

Check if your device got an update

[dark wolf]

I can play on my phone, but not PC currently

[upbeat ether]

Id say go through support, but you'll just end up like me and never getting a response. Maybe i need to spend more?

[umbral gull]

The response i got was we can't tell you what we're doing and he proceeds to just do the exact same thing for months, I spent a lot too so they actually respond

@finite mural anything about this friend ?

[upbeat ether]

Imagine "investing in a company", and then all they do is continuously let you down. I foresee a few more server merges in the near future.

[umbral gull]

Like can I post a video here of someone clearly botting or would that get me modded action as hilarious as that sounds

[upbeat ether]

Unless you can blank out the name, it'll be against their made up rules.

[umbral gull]

Hmmm

[upbeat ether]

You could try the avenue of asking a content creator that isnt hated by them for help?

[umbral gull]

Pretty sure this discord does absolutely nothing except let ppl chat about their problems and reduce tickets. Rev already laughed at the video and said 100% hacker/botter but devs don't seem to care

Rev saw a video from months ago, I have fresh content now. That's how long it's been going on

[upbeat ether]

Correct, the discord is essentially just an echo chamber. You can come here to complain, but not too much and not too loudly. And to be honest, support isnt much better.

[umbral gull]

Maybe I start a yt channel dedicated to just posting all the botters in this game, so at least players who care have a place to vent it to the world

[dark wolf]

Who's Rev?

[umbral gull]

Some YouTuber guy

[upbeat ether]

Well they cant give you a 3 day ban that way 😄

[umbral gull]

Could get ad rev and give it back to scopely so they would be happy

[dark wolf]

Rev is a forensic investigator /botting expert from youtube?

[umbral gull]

An entire server deemed it botting, but scopely has a hard time I guess

[upbeat ether]

Dont engage, hes just rage baiting you.

[umbral gull]

I have no soul, there is no rage

[dark wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/horatio-caine-yeah-csi-miami-sunglasses-meme-gif-4566497

[weak grove]

just to say it once. we're still angry because of the crappy g6 scrapping.

[serene pine]

You got g6 scrapping?? Speaking of hacking......🤣

[umbral gull]

So I'm genuinely asking, if I spend time editing and blurring out names in a video, am I allowed to upload it to this channel

[weak grove]

i just noticed, g5 scrapping was meant of course xD
was wondering right now, why i can't scrap or demolish one of my selkies xD

[magic cedar]

Thanks to the new QoL improvements, now I can think about doing just 580 clicks to get the 120k uncommon parts needed to max krencha. Please keep the servers running
Edit: 870 clicks

[loud cove]

@raw fiber @tidal notch this needs to be able to search within all subcategories, not just one. Plz fix this

[upbeat ether]

But can you make it like a little square with a magnify glass icon, cause we didn't ask for it and we want to disable it 😜

[loud cove]

Now you’re thinking!!! lol and I definitely picked up on that sarcasm!! lol

[magic cedar]

Or at least don't reset the text box when switching tabs.
Also, the search results are reset when a hostile hits you (autogrind or outpost)

[loud cove]

That’s terrible while the Dauntless is running. LAME!!

[serene pine]

Gonna go with probably not.

[wispy obsidian]

Web store are broken 🙈 💩 🙈 💩 😡

[novel pier]

normally most feedback is negative but would just like to say that some of the additions (bulk refines, search filters etc) are really good, QoL changes that make some of the more tedious tasks that little bit easier, so thanks for adding them

[silk prairie]

Sure thing, after months, if not years of "suggesting" those QoL improvements....

[wild hearth]

and to have them implemented in such a way that they get taken away if we don't login every day

It seems every time Scopely releases a "we hear you, we'll do better", it gets followed up by something boneheadedly stupid

[ivory plinth]

Really like those QoL- adds. Thanks for those. Unfortunately some of the events and stuff in BP are not fitting to the ops. Can’t take part when ships and buildings are where they should be, the upgrade-parts in BP are only for inventory, can’t use them any more on the ships. If those BP should attract to buy them, that should be better fitting to the needs of players. But this release has some good points, what’s really a step in the right direction

[pale garnet]

why does the hyerthermic stabilizer from the recon build not work v's the new academy hostiles

[mild thicket]

The QOL changes are really good - I agree that QOL shouldn't come with a 'catch' though - when they do this, it takes something which would get overwhelming praise and results in it feeling a little 'bittersweet'

[old seal]

Who cares if they bot?
You have Dauntless, also a bot ship. Probably the most useful event ship Scopely has launched.

[novel pier]

I don't disagree, but some progress is better than none, and if we don't feedback when something is going in the right direction, we're far less likely to get more of it

[silk prairie]

True, it's just the time it takes for most of the improvements. Otherwise im really happy. Today total time spent in store pulls is equal to yesterday's time i spent only in maverick store... So yeah, its good indeed.

[carmine heron]

It's not QoL if it's held hostage behind a new mechanic (esp. one that is obviously designed to try to slow down a massive player exodus).

This 100% proves that Scopely KNOW what players actually want from the game, and either a) will not implement it because they are too busy working on the next cash grab- in other words, it's not a priority for them- or b) in this case, they will only implement it in a way that is designed to increase the likelihood of them hitting their KPIs, usually at the expense of player well-being, as they seem to consider those things mutually exclusive (if the latter is even a consideration at all).

I will give them credit for the inventory search feature, that's a true QoL improvement that's been sorely needed for years, and as you SHOULD expect, comes with no strings attached.

But the rest of this update is another cynical attempt to retain players through FOMO (daily login, increased BP length) and/or force them up ops levels (IA/NX01) where, presumably, their data shows spending increases.

I'm tired, boss.

[cerulean quest]

Bring back the old BP !

[magic cedar]

Thank you for the faction store bulk claim and for the inventory search.

Waiting for more game fixes:

• alliance tournaments: separate the new tasks from the old. The old should still be re-rollable with the old refresh tokens
• de-nerf officer depo tokens.
• #freeLeslue
• fix G5 scrapping
• maybe give us back the choice tokens
• free battlepass tracks should not su... have meaningless rewards
• academy officer pull should guarantee shards, disregarding having Athena
• the borg sphere experience was traumatizing. PTSD: won't purchase Athena

[latent timber]

<@&509690795536941056> why academy building and athena progression luck based? This is bad design

Please #FreeBulkClaim

[vague grotto]

why does no one sit back and think..... WHY does this happen every single time we release new broken content

[carmine heron]

I'm sure they do, and there are probably solutions. But the overwhelming priority is to shovel more FOMO content into the game as fast as possible, into what must be a high-change-risk codebase, to increase quarterly profits and hit KPIs. Quality is secondary and presumably management are OK with fixing everything in patches after the revenue has come in.

[winter solar]

You made the Officer Depot tokens mostly useless. Before, I could choose the specific officer I wanted to collect shards for. Now, I randomly get shards I don't need.

They convert into Transporter Patterns, which I also don't need.

[magic cedar]

Yes, check #🛠-known-issues for a workaround.
Edit: it got fixed

I'm running outposts without a sisko loot upgrade

[fresh cargo]

Positive Feedback: Bulk Claim 🥳 Good direction👍 But I still need to kill 300 hostiles to refine once for the academy refinery, still a stupid amount. Just not realistic playable 🫠

[balmy iris]

Thanks for having more stuff score for the Vengeance is Mine event. That actually mitigates the effects of the schedule change.

[gloomy rain]

Because they don't test anything and put the testing on us.

Kir Shara still not working properly. What's taking so long to fix it?

[carmine heron]

They gotta fix the webstore first. Personally wouldn't expect a quick fix for kir'shara as it's not player beneficial or making them money, imo.

[meager hollow]

<@&509690795536941056> how's the issue regarding needing to build the ship to finish the mission?

[tired lagoon]

The costs for 2 BPs of the new ship at OPS 69 are much too high. Even if you convert each day 24.000 training merits (still a looong grind), you can't claim the 2 BPs + class honors on a daily basis.
So the ship will now require much longer than 100 days for the vast majority of players, which is not a good move.

[near tapir]

Kirshara keeps acting up since the other day’s update. It skips every other ship in its queue

[molten jungle]

Not to mention, level camping on levels you unlock a ship is rewarded by giving you a chance at actually being able to unlock said ship. I can barely scrape by doing the ship pulls at ops 70 at 95k academy stuff for 1 chest. The amount jumps to something above 200k at 71.

[cyan isle]

Dear Scopley Team,
I’ve been a dedicated Star Trek Fleet Command player for a long time and have been closely following the recent player-return events and leadership comments about declining revenue and efforts to “save the game.” I genuinely want the game to succeed, which is why I’m writing this letter.
The Independent Archive (specifically the NX-01 Archive) is a perfect example of the recent design philosophy that I believe is actively harming retention. The concept is excellent — meaningful long-term progression with daily rewards for dedicated players. But the execution and cost scaling have turned a once-rewarding system into one that feels punitive.
When the archive first launched, completing a ship required roughly 7,500 data shards. At ~400 shards per day plus saved resources (many players had 5,000+ stockpiled from good habits), a motivated player could realistically finish it in about a week. It rewarded consistent play and smart resource management.
That has completely changed.
The current NX-01 Archive now requires astronomical amounts of crystals to unlock each successive pillar/tier (1,800 → 2,000 → 2,200 → 2,400+). I’ve attached a screenshot showing my current situation: I have 1,900 crystals — enough for the first unlock — but the remaining tiers are completely out of reach for the foreseeable future. What used to be a satisfying, achievable goal has become a multi-month grind that effectively punishes players who saved resources and played responsibly.
A feature that was designed to reward long-term players has been flipped into one that punishes them. This same philosophy appears across many other systems in the game:
• Hostile grinds have become so extreme that only players running bots or grinding 8–12 hours a day can keep up.
• Progression walls have grown taller and more expensive instead of more rewarding.
• Catch-up mechanics feel deliberately stingy.

The result? The game increasingly feels like a chore rather than a fun, rewarding experience. When you run “welcome back” events and players log in only to be greeted by these massive, demoralizing walls, many simply log out again — sometimes for good.
I’m not asking for everything to be handed out for free. I’m asking for fair, achievable progression that respects the time and dedication of your most loyal players. Reasonable costs, better scaling for long-term/saving players, and progression that feels like a reward instead of a punishment would make a massive difference.
I still love Star Trek Fleet Command and want to see it thrive again. I hope this feedback is received in the constructive spirit it’s intended. If the team is open to it, I’d be happy to share more specific examples or participate in any feedback programs.
Thank you for your time and for everything you do to keep this game alive.

[keen loom]

Feedback programs involve surveys open for Scopley to interpret data as they see fit. Simply ineffective, and deliberate.

Scopley only cares about revenue generating transactions.

Perhaps we’ll see fair return with the leadership changes that have happened. Perhaps these are not finished. My hope is that every single Scopley employee is held to account for publicly made promises, videos, blog posts, etc and those items are delivered with the speed of the recent exploit correction. Yes Connor, your entire team including you - need to be held accountable.

[muted shuttle]

It warms my cockles to see so many new people complaining, sorry giving feedback.

[river pecan]

where have all of the 19.99 packs gone in the store? I could justify spending that amount per month, but now everything seems 49.99 or above. you've lost any income from me now. I won't spend over 20 for an in game purchase.

I won't even be investing in the battle pass epic because to get anything decent from them you need to buy mythic which I will not do

[oak nexus]

New players? this is exactly the people that need to be giving feedback. Scopely is slowly but surely driving all the long time players and long time spenders away with all their recent blatant cash grabs while ignoring core issues that have been plaguing the game for so long.

[keen loom]

Scopley has lost a significant number of players in g5++, and continued to bleed them. That is why the focus is on new blood.

Said this before - easier to pull wool over the eyes of those who don’t know. Far easier than fixing the damaged and toxic relationships most seasoned players have with Scopley.

[oak nexus]

Which is exactly why we need to be encouraging new players to give feedback, and not tossing out sarcastic, unhelpful comments like bouncyballs

[brisk ibex]

We need tomix in a bit of sarcasm with helpful feedback…

Otherwise our heads might exploded from bottled up resentment

[opal orchid]

Can you please make the FKR Faction recruit pulls go to 3? why just 1?

[coral dagger]

Either fix Kir'shara today or just shut it all down. Completely unplayable.

[brisk ibex]

<@&509690795536941056>
Thanks you for the Bulk Claim Update.
There are issues & it’s a mistake to place it behind a Daily logon, regardless it’s a welcome addition.

That acknowledged this Arc is going to further alienate the G5 community.
The Simulation BattlePass, Events & Rewards are terrible, surpassing the previous months failure:

-Events rewarding irrelevant/depreciated materials.
e.g. There are events for G5 players only rewarding G4 materials.

-Splitting rewards fails to hide an individual reduction.
e.g. Dilth/Steel/Trit from the related Crystal/Gas/Ore

-Officer Depot Tokens are effectively worthless with the removal of the Officer Choice.
The recruit pool is filled with to many “junk” officers with F2P sourcing.

-Lack of current Building/Ship parts or Faction Credits from recent Arcs in the basic path.
With a disappointing numbers in the Elite Path (?the amounts from original F2P path?)

-Ship Upgrade events locking out mid 50’s+ specialty ship parts.
e.g. SS Rev event only accepts Uncommon’s parts (reportedly as intended), SLB locking out Rare / Epic parts for other ships…

It’s easy to go on..
But the critical point is this will not encourage G5 players to move towards G6…
To say nothing of retaining the disenfranchised G5 base who waffled on Archiving/Quiting after last Arc’s non-stop failures & cutbacks.

What is truly frustrating is the contrast with “Interstellar Dominance”
This series is rewarding current meta Building/Ship parts, Artifact Shards, etc.
It has its flaws (e.g. not cycling between different newer officers, etc) but this is an event series that encourages growth & feels rewarding.

Please REVERSE the current course:
It feels like you are trying to force the G5 player base into G6+ by punishing them, this is failing.

Return to focusing on encouraging growth through rewarding events.
The current path is pushing many to Archive/Deletion, which is clear from discords feedback

[oak nexus]

@raw fiber Is there any update or acknowledgement of the new issue with Kir'Shara not working since yesterday's patch?

[keen loom]

I’m not sure what was sarcastic, or thrown out like a bouncy ball. I see facts, and nothing but.

[raw fiber]

waaait - im reading

[raw fiber]

latest is this #🛠-known-issues message. no update yet buddy 🙁 but we are actively working on it

[dapper bramble]

Please in future don't do this silly upg the ship then get the gold pack refresh. Me and a few of my friends bought the gold pack then normal packs we didn't know you had to buy it then tier up the ship then go find the next one. If you want to do it this way so that it increases make it a linked one showing how many are in it like you do with the other linked packs. "Linked upg special x/5,)"
This left a lot of us spending money with a very sour taste

[brisk ibex]

Feel you!
Considering the way the store used to be configured it currently feels very predatory and deceptive

[south cedar]

They give, and they take. Usually those QoL improvements are outpaced by new content increasing the overall tasks. Mastery of the NX-01 at OPS71 in the AI doesn't improve QoL, it only adds to the frustration with STFC, the game developers and their growing distance with the gamers.

[coral dagger]

It's not just Ops 71 for the NX-01. With the Data Shard cost it's Ops 71 + 60 days, if you were at your Data Shard cap. Throw another 13 days or so on top of that if not.

So another 2 to 2 1/2 months or so after 71 to finally get rid of your useless outdated content. Great stuff.

[tame locust]

Wow... This really puts the last nails to the coffin. At least for me... Putting this under the headline of "improvements" is completely weird. Connecting the only quality of life improvement to login-activity (and even the one - refinery - which was introduced months ago) is the craziest design-error if you want to stop the exodus of long-playing fans of the game.

[fleet lake]

my current ops is going to be my last and definitely going to quit very soon ..... and i will definitely take others with me too.. 😈

[carmine heron]

It's funny because if enough players don't log in, it only punishes Scopely. Or at least dents their precious KPI metrics, which is the only other thing they care about next to revenue.

[potent blade]

How can my ship mine 2 pods at once? Both pods are counting down but I'm only getting resources from the one that my ship is at. Having problems doing the Picard manouver too. Windows are closing by themselves and always at the wrong time

[molten jungle]

The new loop also incentivizes level camping to be able to do the new loop because I just found a decent spot at ops 70 with the G6 epic at tier 12+ of the loop being marginally doable given the new changes. Main gripe I have is that they copy/pasted part of how the Aggregation hostiles loop works, but the pulls are ops based instead of loop progression based like in Aggregation which is where they completely missed the mark. Making the hostiles easier doesn’t fix the fact that the pull amount for 1 chest pulls are set way too high.

Aggregation and Transogen’s last unlock building levels vs pulls are set too high, but I’d rather have a longer grind than an almost impossible one.

[muted shuttle]

That was exactly my point, a lot of the folk that used to complain and try and give constructive feedback have gone. I have not done the last three Arcs. Vger hostiles saw me off😂

[austere reef]

There’s a lot to criticize about the dev team. I’ve done plenty since start of patch 90 last month.

Here’s something to praise -

Batch refines everywhere did what I and many others have predicted -

I timed this morning’s refines. This took 4mins and 27 seconds. That includes doing FKR 3 times for the max recruit pack redeems.

Before, my fastest even pared down was still 25mins. If I did everything, closer to 35mins.

This feature shouldn’t have come out just now. I also think it’s silly a 7day active log in streak is required to keep it (this should be a basic feature). I am glad it is here and working.

[fresh current]

I summon a fighter, you spawn a fighter. Why’s that so hard? Been sitting here 30 minutes trying to finish the daily.

[vast nest]

I do wonder if the game server goes down for several hours and people miss their log in windows, if the 7 day streak will then reset and then loose faction bulk claim.

[dusky temple]

I wonder about the next time a blizzard, hurricane, flood or whatever prompts them to give muti-day shields. "Sorry you were impacted and couldn't log in. Let's pile on a week of extra frustration"

[cosmic knoll]

scopely only lear'ed what a weekday was last year ... thats 14 years in business... its going to take them at least 14 more years before they lear about mother-nature/climate-change/weather.

i mean, i could teach them the basics, but they refuse to employ me ...

[fossil oracle]

where can you even see the 7-day streak?

[finite mural]

it will pop up in a window when you login sometimes

[dire wigeon]

Is there a reason why rare gas in the bp is less than ore? I know crystal is always more but gas and ore used to be equal

[hushed rock]

Why the game handicap players? I have maximum ships but can’t scrap them because of my ops level. Why am I wasting my time with this game?

[south cedar]

After restarting the game and installing the recent updates on a PC, STFC closes almost each time the screen content changes, e.g. from system view to the events, to the gift claims etc. No error messages shown, just returning to the desktop. Clearing cache doesn't fix it.

[grave quest]

<@&509690795536941056> you guys really need to have scopely calm it down with the advertisement notifications. i got 5 in the last hour at least. Unless my base is under attack, i don’t want to hear it. 😡

[brazen prism]

You can it give it for free to all players. Compensation for all the issues from the last few weeks 🫠

[fast anvil]

last few weeks? i'd say last few months :p

[rustic quarry]

Ugh I wish we had a recent notification for Officer Depot store going away, huge bummer that I missed out on those

[wooden spire]

If I don’t bother logging in and the 7-day streak nonsense means I’ll be punished by having to spend 30 minutes clicking things to collect them again, I’ll simply stop engaging. I can’t and won’t go back to that painful, unnecessary time-wasting absurdity, especially after experiencing relief from it.

[cosmic knoll]

please scopely

#💬-general-feedback message

the VP is visiting teams ... and you did this? I think my suggestion is that you just let everyone bulk claim regardless. it will cost more players otherwise

[topaz ruin]

bulk claims and the search buttons for officers and inventory, two small things that actually improved my desire to keep playing the game. Keep changes like that coming, stop punishing players needlessly (NX-01 decisions, 5* scrapping times/payouts, grindy new loops, etc). Make it so playing the game is fun and not a miserable chore.

[carmine marten]

The search bars are surprisingly responsive, so kudos on those.

Bulk everywhere is also a huge time saver, so again, kudos. However. Locking bulk behind 7 day streak is unnecessarily punitive. Woe to anyone missing a day.

Locking NX archive to ops 71 is incredibly unreasonable. Yes I want the NX loop rewards because drips matter but it is ridiculous to claim NX rewards are THAT relevant to g6. Small scaling for g6 in a couple redeems but otherwise I maxed and mastered this loop in g5 soon as a maxed the ship out

For anything good you do you seem to add several poisoned mechanics along the way. You can’t help but shoot yourself in the foot and it takes real skill and dedication to keep that up (that’s not a compliment). You are actually making it impossible for me to reward you and encourage your good behavior, when there’s so much nonsense that I can’t support and can’t have you thinking I support

[tidal quiver]

I made a 3rd ship with only 2 docks, I can't find the ship. was it destroyed?

[grave quest]

last few months? surely the past year at least

[vast nest]

Ever since Year of Hell Part 1

[grave quest]

<@&509690795536941056> this!! 100% this!! too easy to miss a day due to travel, sickness, power outage, etc. a seven day streak for a major QoL update is sickening considering the issues we’ve had. plus, it is an unneeded database query that should not have to be made in an area where lag often shows up. just open it up, maybe lock it up behind syndicate level 10 (oh yeah we have that already but that’s the point) and stop making bad decisions.

[molten jungle]

Didn’t even know it required daily logging without fail, that’s just wrong

[muted shuttle]

Coughs loudly, you mean years.

[leaden lintel]

Click on the dock, click Manage, then you can click Swap Ship to assign a different ship to that dock.

[zenith tundra]

Second game update, but nothing on my ipad

[atomic shuttle]

Seriously... it's understandable that support is overwhelmed... but they still need to take the time to read the messages! I've had the webstore bug since the 25th; impossible to collect anything especially the last key to complete the mission key event and get the 8 epic shards (4 Vill Winn, 4 Dukat)! Contacted them that same day, with video evidence from the store’s bug... and got a reply today... oh yeah, sorry, thanks we working on it, here are exceptionally 3 mission keys as compensation and closed immediately the ticket... I don't care about the keys, they didn’t count for current sms btw and all the officers available with them are already maxed out anyway, just wanted the 8 officers shards...

[flint elm]

Let’s just hope they figure it’s easier to give out 8 shards of middling priority officers

[rotund sparrow]

Bring back the officer depot!!!

[zenith tundra]

Mission key turning round on web store one hour and then y get it in the game

[flat sky]

Ops 69, tftp. Almost maxed Relativity and with my best effort i can kill 6 academy 64:s in 1 hull. That means that to kill the 150 i need i must do 30 trips. Still no go for this loop. So no Athena until next easter when i might have a G6 epic strong enough to participate in the academy stuff.

[unborn ether]

could you please unfix kirshara? before the fix it was working better

[obsidian gazelle]

#ReleaseTheTal!

[low scroll]

phone a friend from another alliance who can farm them for you, on my server plenty of helpful people who are willing to donate excess loot

[compact terrace]

While I do like the time savings of Bulk Refine in the Faction store, the fact that the bulk refine layer covers the bottom row of claim buttons is a problem if I want to claim on of those items... Please enhance.

[vital pawn]

Good bye 100 day drip, hello yolo. Seriously, I'm whelmed at the free pass. nothing for the arc at all. you're not going to bluff people into buying, you're going to just convince people to move on. Well played, server lag will finally drop

[fathom willow]

sorry but there is practically no benefit to anyone to even have this as a reward. simply delete it and save precious code or fill it with something useful. sorry to be blunt but in no way, shape, or form is this anything anyone is going to be putting to any meaningful use or care about one way or another.

[vital pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/cartoon-gif-20960123

[rich elm]

A couple more arcs and my game’s going to be the size Call of Duty takes on PC.

[hearty jungle]

At this point I think the game needs a DNR.

[gloomy rain]

Kir Shara is still not working. It's skipping targets.

[vital pawn]

Been skipping targets for months but much more so now

[gloomy rain]

Clear data and cache and reinstall. Make sure you have your log in details handy.

I do it on my android monthly.

[rich elm]

IOs doesn’t have clear data/cache that i know of would need to uninstall…. or the devs could actually cleanup their mess after each asset update

[keen loom]

Scopley simply can’t figure out listening to those paying their bills. Instead the lock junk behind weekly and monthly crawls, in the dark, expect you to walk blindfolded, in the swamp, with all kinds of junk chomping at your feet. Note. They expect you to smile and hand out your cc # at the same time.

It’s the penalty to play system.

[molten jungle]

The fact it uses that much storage is bonkers.

[grave prawn]

Are they going to create a monthly elite pack this month?

[dire rose]

I cannot click these nothing shows ??? so cannot complete daily event !!!

[marsh spear]

They don't care if you smile lol

[sage wadi]

Please someone say that FC skills are free to upgrade and it takes no points. Maybe they will fix it today if they think we benefit from it.

[silver jay]

I still haven’t received my missing items from last Saturday. I put in a ticket which Scopely took 3 days to respond to and basically told me, “yes, you did.” (And listed when I clicked claim the Saturday nothing worked)- even when I have a screenshot showing i didn’t actually get them when I clicked claim. As I have no exo equipped or in my inventory. (The challenge exo and 650 credits). Its been another 3 days and no response. Frustrating, as I had a previous issue with a missing ship that took them 7 months to fix.

[cyan trellis]

https://media.tenor.com/UQutekMiAQwAAAAM/winnie-the-pooh-hmm.gif

[kindred lotus]

oh no... should I worry? just finished the mission.

[muted shuttle]

Keep it up Scopes.

[slow cypress]

We've lost the ability to scan ships on mining nodes if those ships belong to a player whose ops level is outside of our attack range. Scanning is different than attacking. Let us scan everyone, and share their coordinates. That's how scanners work.

[silk prairie]

sNOPEly

[fast anvil]

they need to make it so events that are only completable with a certain ship cant be seen by those that dont have it. all the events for the athena is just crowding the events tab

[gloomy rain]

Any progress on fixing the damn kir shara bug?

[lusty basin]

Any news on the mid ops promo codes being fixed?

[prime socket]

No ability has been lost. It’s always been that way.

[frigid portal]

if you don't see them, why would you buy a ship for something that you don't know it exist ?

[inner drift]

Optimale Crew for V‘ger ?

[unborn ether]

as good as teh new bulk claim is, can it please use the fast animation setting (if activated)?

[fleet adder]

As you phase in the new events and phase out others...I have one concern. The Pinnacle of Power awards 15,600 hazard particles daily. Will the new pay outs in the Meta come even close to that amount?

[gloomy rain]

Transogen systems above 55 are still showing level 55 transports. Why?

I'm in the Tiefurt System now. There should be 57-59 transports in here.

[fast anvil]

people don't buy it for the events. people buy it because they have a problem with the hostiles or want to be useful in waves. same goes for all the other spec ships. U buy it for a singular purpose. the only event people shld see maybe is the 'acquire x ship' event. the rest are not necessary till U get the ship. the events r literally a bonus, the same people who bought the ship would still buy it even if there was none of those events believe it or not

[mild plover]

Game is a JOKE!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ kiss my you know what. All ya doing is making folks want to quit. Anger is all there is now. If I had not invested in this game I would have quit long ago

[marsh tide]

I find myself confused by the logic of the game, let’s see I can kill Suliban hunters for 3 star Transogen canisters but can only spend 4 star canisters so 3 star is yet another useless currency taking memory better used elsewhere. Oh well then decided to try for rare canisters. I found a 40 mill warship will not kill a single Suliban and my Serene Squall is still unable to kill them, but I can kill and get epic containers all day so no uncommon or rare but epics all day not complaining but thought epic has more value, and with respect I have to ask what happened as being able to get the uncommon and rare while struggling to get epic is the norm so just doesn’t seem like the behavior I’m used to in the game but just my thought, but can we apply this to armada directives in future updates would be better to easily get epic directives and struggle for rare and uncommon

[mild plover]

@solar solar Unfortunately I am getting to the point of hate. Hate for the game and for folks behind it. On the verge of quitting. If it weren't for the money already invested into this game We would not be talking about it now. Want Dopely to know Hate is there....

[sweet mulch]

They know the hate is there but they DON"T CARE

[mild plover]

@sweet mulch yeah seems clear on that. Now if they want to give me a full refund of every cent spent I would gladly walk away and delete game never to be seen again.

[keen loom]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-anger-gif-18403402

[ripe hemlock]

its absolutely okay to hate them for their fails and incompetence
i advice you to not spending and maybe take a pause from the game

[vital pawn]

another suggestion, get rid of the outpost events. Not locking my best ships up for 6+ hours, not refleeting for a nusiance. the mechanic is so poorly thought out

[molten jungle]

Not like they give away the starts anyway except AT. I kick one off every chance I get because unlocking FC Sisko is taking forever due to the high difficulty of outposts that give enough stuff.

[vital pawn]

No where near unlocking him. they truly expect people to play this game 6-8hrs a day

[solar solar]

I’ve stopped spending long ago. No £20battle pass no special ships packs no money to the crooks

[vital pawn]

Even on the spend passes the trickle they give is... not much, I'd most likely not have bought it before the events of the last 2 months

inflation shouldn't apply to 0's and 1's... they're not 2's and 3's now. It's all monopoly money.

[molten jungle]

Minimum you have to hit 63 elites and 66 regular outposts to keep a good pull rhythm going, but it seems 66 elite and 69 regular is what Scopely wants.

[bronze igloo]

I would recommend getting a console and actually having fun over this dumpster fire. STFC has been trending downward for years now and it’s finally in free fall mode.

[opal warren]

They pulled the Academy Drone ship Merits to Class Honors drop. I only had limited time to do that and my Academy Building level is first getting to a level I can pull get it done. It still taking 2 trips of a ship plus cannot be done in under an hour. The Kirshara in some ways slows it down as it takes ship in drones order. They could have limited the building max level of 20 before switching off.

[restive sky]

The only thing Scopely cares about is taking your money, want them to actually listen to us? Stop paying them.
Always play, never pay.

[opal warren]

It just came back on my screen. Grrr. Was gone for 2 days.

[worn tundra]

<@&509691205798592532> <@&509690795536941056>
Its being 3 days since the new arc and new bugs arrived and not a single one of them was officially adressed..
Nor the Kir'shara, nor the Fleet Commanders....What is going on there !?

[restive sky]

They are too busy counting the money they got from people buying the new arc packs to work on fixing bugs.

And why should they fix anything? People keep spending no matter how broken the game is.

I tried playing arenas last night but it was so broken and server laggy that I was just getting frustrated. Now I'm done with arenas and I think I was the last person in my alliance that ran them.

[worn tundra]

I quit those a long time ago.
And Drones, Outpost....complete trash added to the game.

[hybrid lake]

Kir'shara is so broken that it make NO SENCE to play the arc

[opal warren]

Drones will be useful after Academy level 20 only. Before then it’s a Scopely time,fly and die event to earn the needed power to kill ships.

I now can drop few hundred points of the level 62 Academy drones. Before my current Academy level I was a pop and drop!

[cinder cairn]

STFC is in maintenance mode.

[solar solar]

It’s been that way for the last 7 years permanent maintenance. We’re the testers. Maybe one day they will release the REAL game once we’ve found all the bugs

[vital pawn]

I have a game I play, after any update that requires a shutdown, what's the over/under on red circles in the first 24hrs

[zinc terrace]

I’m sure I’m late to this party but why doesn’t winning an slb grant a ful unlock of an epic officer? I’m sure this has been the norm for a while. But damn that’s stingy.

[tall gull]

According to your GM video from Sep 05 2025 you wanted to better recognize past wins and success. How is this supported by splitting Paragon Tokens by Update (was this communicated before today?)?
And while we are speaking how does changing the SLB rewards from sure new officer shards to officer shard drawing with a mixture of new and old officers recognize previous success? Giving me a 21,5% chance of drawing transporter patterns on Paragon Tokens. Thank you for recognizing my previous progress and success in officer acquisition.

It seems to be in line with the recognition of success in efficiency acquisition demonstrated with G5 scrapping.

[dawn cave]

This does make me laugh. This just came through......

Hey Commanders,

We also noticed that a number of Commanders still have Legacy Paragon Recruit Tokens from Update 90. To help ensure those Tokens can be used, we will be reopening the Legacy Paragon

LLAP
STFC Team

How about noticing how many officers depot tokens we have left unspent because you took away the officer "CHOICE" depot away, then replaced it with something we didn't want.

Bring back Officer Choice Depot !!! ✊

It's growing

[solar solar]

How about they recognise the players are hacked off with the devs and scamley in general. Gaslighting players with promises of change and listening and yet you lie chest and swindle us every chance you get. It’s about time someone brought a civil case against you crooks.

[restive sky]

Nothing will change until people stop rewarding them with money. Scopely management doesn't know or care about the state of the game or it's players, only how much money comes in each month.
Always play, never pay.

[vital pawn]

There's no scam, they promised change. The change is awful. But it is change... fair is fair

[solid urchin]

Just wondering: is anyone else dealing with game log in issues?

[solar solar]

How much do you get paid to say this?? 🤣

[mossy sparrow]

Awsome

[rough belfry]

So while I do applaud the officer choice tokens and the amount offer for the BP, the selection is rather terrible. I personally already have Demarco maxed and am not excited about the other 2 officers, though other people may be. So I give this an overall grade of C. Average, but not great.

[quick orchid]

What's been happening with this game is what writer and and tech critic Cory Doctorow in 2022 coined as [redacted due to language].

[Redacted due to language] is the process where online platforms and services gradually decline in quality as they prioritize short-term profits over user experience.

The concept—also called "platform decay"—follows a three-step cycle:

1. User Acquisition: The platform is "good to users," offering high-quality, often subsidized experiences to attract a massive audience.

2. Business Shift: The platform locks users in, then pivots to become "good to business customers" (e.g., advertisers, sellers), compromising the user experience to benefit corporate clients.

3. Value Extraction: Finally, the platform degrades the experience for both users and business customers to extract maximum short-term profits.

We are currently in the third and final part of the [redacted due to language] process.

Only Scopely can turn this around... if they actually want to. I suspect since the game is no longer in the top 100 of online strategy games, they will be shutting it down sooner rather than later, depending on how much more money they can extract from us.

They continually ignore player requests to just fix the stuff that's already broken. Instead, they keep introducing more $100 P2P packages that fewer and fewer players are willing to buy because the game is so very broken in many respects.

Your move, Scopely. We'd be willing to spend more if you just fixed the damn game.

[vital pawn]

not enough. community mod, I'll take my 10 latinium in the normal paper bag in the dark parking lot as normal?

[vital pawn]

the driver of this is merger. Float a huge amount of cash/stock to buy something that in 100 years won't make enough profit to justify the price, raise prices, squeze and start this cycle.

Private companies can be happy with scads of cash and profit, but anything publicly traded must grow at 5-10% or risk the stock decaying due to the unrealistic expectation. The boom/bust is built into the system by the people who have cash to profit from both

[lofty musk]

The game is literally stuttering. Ships limping through systems.

[solar solar]

They’re definitely overpaying you 🤣🤣

[clever arrow]

Can you please do singing about the lag. It's like 3-5 times hitting things to actually collect items and on and on. Freaking ridiculous the last few days

[vital pawn]

If they delivered it to my house, instead of in game, I'd 100% agree

[hushed rock]

Trash in trash out

[brittle tundra]

When are getting a new event for the battle pass? This is several months straight now. Ridiculous

[open turret]

If we are going to have waves with so many hostiles, can we PLEASE get the Kir'Shara to quit breaking and having your ships freeze. Have to cancel the queue and hit attack again. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Either reduce the hostiles cause or fix your stuff!!!!!!!!!

[remote flume]

I just have to ask if this is real. Is basic QOL really being gate-kept behind a daily login requirement? If so… man, you guys are seriously testing your players. I have no idea why I still play this game.

[hasty shell]

Meh. Game is still fun for some of us. Quit being such Debbie Downers. We already got some stuff changed. Focus your energy in a constructive way.

https://share.google/images/f2HPxHuBPlK40nsKk

That was mean. I apologize.

My response.

[frigid geode]

What's the problem with that crappy Kirshara artifact again?
It works great in solo waves, except for those occasional 15-second delays.
It's disappointing how something like this can go so wrong from one update to the next.

[runic turtle]

Duo waves, hard to click on them because of the text overlapping them

already have the ship, it should be removed

[rugged nacelle]

What if you want two?

[slate tartan]

Can anybody help me ? Scopley has made it (for me (and my alliance members)) very unclear…

This daily log in .. and you have to log in 7 days in a row (totally unclear if its 7 days in a row per set day in a week or just whenever 7 days in a row) ..

The questions are :

Do i have to click some button to verify that i logged in ?

How can i see how many days I have logged in already ? in a row since i get every day the same screenshot with 7 green Marks.

Appricuate soms insights if anybody has them .

[dusk river]

Stop changing event store currency or give us a way to convert it to the next one or something useful, got 8 years of old currency I can't use

[wild vapor]

Yes. There's a button to click for the daily log in, right between the help button and the gifts button

[snow shore]

you dont have to push a button its automatic when you first log in, and the screenshot shows you already have a 7 day log in streak already hence why there are 7 green checkmarks.

Now you have to keep logging in once a day to keep the 7 day streak alive. If you miss a day the streak will reset to 0 and you have to build the streak up again

[lunar ocean]

<@&509690795536941056> Can the Kir'Shara randomly dropping targets since this update at least be acknowledged? Especially when you want us doing wave events?

[slate tartan]

Cheers 🖖

[wild vapor]

Enough is enough with the faction hunts! Yes, I need to get rep up. That's a neverending thing. But this many days in a row of basically forced rep grinding is NOT fun in the slightest!!!

[dawn cave]

What we need is those Fatu Kreys or VGer Bioships again..... 😂 ..... not

[narrow loom]

I know you put the not at the end, but given how well Scopely listens, you might want to add on another line... "To be clear, the above suggestion is SARCASM, and should be taken in whole, but just before the 😂 "

[willow raven]

The nx01 ops locked to 71 is totally bs and a slap in the face to the majority of your player base again. Another unforced error that has ruined the release.

[brisk ibex]

<@&509690795536941056>
For what it’s worth..insane lag confirmed by multiple parties on Server 63

[brisk ibex]

Wouldn’t a bad SLB if it had good rewards..

[wild vapor]

Agreed. I just get tired of the same thing day after day

[obsidian gazelle]

A 2 day SLB with rewards equaling 1/3 of a daily faction pull ...

[thin flicker]

Hi

[brisk ibex]

They used to reward Syndicate XP, or Premium Mirror Dust, etc..

Guess this is part of Scopley’s cutbacks….
Which is sad since it’s not going to motivate us to spend, in fact the opposite

[crystal furnace]

I have come to the conclusion that they have ran out of ideas so they are pushing out stuff they can make money on.

[loud cove]

#🛠-known-issues message

[full gate]

Kishara is borked.... AGAIN.

[sturdy dagger]

Lag on server 402 as well and some people are not getting there refinery pulls as well.

[solar sun]

Seriously.... get rid of the officer xp. It's ridiculous it's even an option..... I'm not playing this game to gamble. If I want to gamble I'll go somewhere much better.

[gloomy rain]

This "game" is a gambling sim.

The transports are supposed to be 57-59.

[lofty musk]

Have they at all acknowledged the game is unstable, lagging, and that many things are broken atm?

[gloomy rain]

They never will. So just keep spending.

[final tide]

This lag is sucking the fun out of the game. between the kirshara dropping targets and if you do it manually it just hesitates between each target. when grinding I don't want anything that makes it take longer

[gloomy rain]

It's a disgrace. They don't care about quality, they just want you to spend.

[final tide]

I have been spending. guess why i have cut way back and may stop spending

[gloomy rain]

Obviously not enough.

[mighty ravine]

1 think making me wonder i just opened the 7 day loyality chest and now it shows under it 2 times left should that be an hint the 7 and 30 day loyality chest will get removed too?

[final tide]

the 7 day chests and now the 30day ones have a timer so you cannot open mass quantities at once
4 weekly then it locks you out for a while, the 30 day one you can pull one or two then locked out.
also this slowdown nonsense is stupid

[analog plank]

Why did these switch over ships 7 minutes early? Can’t complete dailies

[final tide]

look at another system then back again sometimes it shows things that are not there
as long as you are opening 1 a week you will never hit the limit.
pardon answering above but i don't have patience for slowdown

[mighty ravine]

i open them regularly like every 7 days but that wasnt there before maked me wondering not that we get gonna lose these small adiction stuff to

[fast anvil]

contact cs, they'll finish it for you, provide screenshots so they cant dispute it

[analog plank]

They haven’t completed my last open ticket yet from a week ago😂

[mighty ravine]

or check if you clock is synced right

on my side is rest in 5 secs now

[tawdry plank]

Yes, they have. In fact Scopely has assigned a senior manager to STFC to get the game back on track and this person has stated that they're going to freeze new content and focus on replayability and stability. These things take time

[lofty musk]

I’m talking about the game lagging and progressively getting worse this week. It was sort of fine earlier in the week

[tawdry plank]

And I will still point to my comment, even with your clarifying statement. If anything it makes it even more relevant given the fact that the senior individual at Scopely has issued a freeze on new content. The game gets consistently unstable to downright unplayable for some when new arcs release. In my alliance we joke about the first week of a new arc being comp chest week. Freezing this and allowing staff to focus on fixing whatever is causing that is only a good thing, but it takes time

[final tide]

they have been bleeding players and income is way down. It was past time they pull the alarm cord and reset

[tawdry plank]

Their pricing also isn't helping. While they may make as much, or even more, charging a few whales €100 for packs vs a much larger audience €10 for said packs; they really aren't creating any goodwill with that strategy. What the Scopely executives responsible for pricing have failed to realise is that pricing has more of an impact than just how much revenue you earn. It says a lot about your attitude towards what kinds of customers you want

[bleak gale]

im gonna be FLAT dont say your gonna get a mission in your gift section when you turn ops 55 IF ITS A LIE

i sent a ticket out yesterday im sorry but no reset has fixed it ive cleared my cashe ive repaired the game its up to date what more do i have to do to unlock maverick mission

[radiant island]

Can you put in a switch to turn off the new filters? I find them more annoying (where they were put in the ui) than helpful.

[mighty ravine]

s31-quasi s31-gorgiou Demarco as bp bonus officers really how long they are in the game avail nearly like Sarris Invasion:S

[opal orchid]

so did my first pull on new officer depot. Couldn't have chosen worse officers if you'd asked.

[mighty ravine]

[weary sentinel]

I would like to moan about the game being an absolute unplayable mess, the lag is often terrible the events often don’t score/work properly, arena is mostly unplayable again due to lag, you seem out of touch with what your player base want from the game by adding more grinds and one trick pony ships, locking archiving behind silly ops level requirements which doesn’t ease the old arc grinds for the vast majority of your players at all. I wonder why I even keep playing tbh as it’s not fun anymore………… proceeds to spend $500 supporting these diabolical practices and utter contempt scopely have for its players.

[severe osprey]

I am lvl 64, but can not get epic ore,crystal and gas for g4 anymore ,even I do exchange g4-g6 mats everyday, dont no why

[opal orchid]

I need some clarification on the wrench surveys in duo waves. What do they do exactly? From what I can understand from the helpful hints, it repairs your ship a little but adds ships to the wave. Is this correct?

[split harbor]

Additional fixes are still required to make academy drones and refinery usable for the average player. With the new changes to academy drones I can now take down 4 of the lvl64 drones. And this is with a maxed out cube for my ops level, still hitting two levels lower then my ops and getting barely anything for it! Refinery costs way too much still. Need 6000 for single pull and only get 80 from each kill. Would have to grind 75 hostiles for a single chest pull! I'll be completely skipping this loop just like last month unless this is adjusted as this is a game and not a job. Don't have time to just grind some new hostile. You need to reduce refinery costs and increase hostile rewards to make this loop better for the average player.

[keen loom]

That cuts into pack sales. Scopley isn’t after the average spender. Working as designed.

[gentle hill]

No reason for the average player to participate then.

[sleek aspen]

After the drone update, I’m able to get 190k in the 68 system.

[opal orchid]

no one?

[dawn cave]

Save them, don't spend them.....

Refuse, resistance is not futile.

Bring back Officer "Choice" Depot ✊

[lilac oar]

@raw fiber Why do we have a requirement to use Sigma Trit to repair ships before we can mine, refine, or even see it in our inventory? Defian't and a couple of other ships now require it to repair without having spent it to upgrade.

[opal orchid]

Excellent question

[lilac oar]

I wonder if I'll get an excellent answer.

[opal orchid]

doubt it. Ignoring questions seems to be the way to get ahead in this company.

[gritty stirrup]

Any ship that you used Sigma on upgrade start using sigma on Repairs.

But its bugg cause Defiant dont even has G6 components...

[patent rover]

I have a question. Why is this game such a buggy mess all the time even though it has made hundreds of millions and possibly billions in profit? Nearly every single day theres a new bug

[flint river]

Add option Disable/Enable to every Fleet Commander skill

for example: Lorca has mats CE for ship upgrade, and you make events based on how many of those mats are spent. For purpose of event Lorca is a disadvantage, and option to disable his skill is kinda needed

could unslot him just for an event, but it's inconvenient and there is more skills that sometimes want to disable

[spare forge]

72 retaliation waves, 6 hours tying up 3 ships. 2 reward chests (+the base outpost knock over chest). And I forgot these chest have jack in them.

"Why aren't people progressing in the game?"

Maybe this kinda junk. Maybe faction store selling 1 thing for 100 credits or 2 of that thing 2000 credits. Maybe put a new ship into the game with 200 bps in a faction store or refinery that literally takes almost 7 months to get because buying 1 bp at a time saves credits to get other things with in the faction store/refinery. Maybe adding new hostiles that drop less then bare minimum specialized loot that's needed in massive amounts just so you can sell a specialized ship that useless outside of killing those new hostiles or so you can be lazy and fill out a research tree with a node to increases those special drops by like 20% after 10 researches , which btw, need the special drops as a mat as well as being a mat to upgrade the specialized ship used to get it or used as currency in a faction store.

I swear to god no dev plays their own game. I think if the CEO went around to every dev desk and asked them to open their phone, I suspect that about 5-10 total would even have STFC on it and even then be like op 20 or less.

[brisk ibex]

Don’t disagree with the general though process but pretty sure they have accounts with all (or at least most) officers, research, artifacts, text, etc unlocked and maxed..

Which is why they struggle so much with the concept of balance 😜

[shrewd granite]

You want to bring back players and un-hose your game? You need to turn back on the officer depot, bring back choice tokens, triple the rewards for G5 scrapping, and bring back CotA level rewards for new officer shards. Any less and forget about it. You've killed the fun/progression.

[spare forge]

I have no doubt they have accounts that are everything maxed on work comps to test stuff and that's it. They do not actually PLAY the game.

[carmine heron]

I wouldn't expect them to play the game in their spare time if they spend all day working on it. 😆 Assuming they even have any spare time if Scopely is eating it up with long working days. But yeah a real problem seems to be that new content is only tested with maxed out G7 accounts (if at all). But that's where their priorities are, they don't care about low/mid ops except to get them to G7 ASAP, because that's where the spenders are.

[molten jungle]

Testing should be done with the average player in mind, but clearly, from personal experience, they don’t. The big spenders can do the new loops, but everyone else is left scrambling. With this arc they finally went too far and most people are choosing not to engage.

[indigo coral]

I don't know if I got my federation officers cause it Showed me 0 of 0, spent 3000 credits/ recruit tickets on those. Any idea

[brisk ibex]

Mostly agree..

When doing game balance testing you should focus on middle / average player base, while also making sure it’s not impossible for lower power players (though you can’t make it accessible to everyone, that ruins games) but also having an EXTRA mode for the top %…

This is core game balance design philosophy

[tall fractal]

Hi Scopely, one of the things I hate the most is the email login. Really? I have to get an email every single time? The email associated with this account is NOT a daily email account, it is my account for games. Can we at least get an Authenticator option? Text? Anything would be better than having to endlessly launch my webemail just to pull the daily officer pull. Thank you. -t

[narrow perch]

I am very disappointed in the U.S.S. Excelsior! Let me explain my self. I bought this ship because it is suppose to be a "Asset across PVE and PVP," My ops level is 66. I have not been able to up grade the ship above tier 9 out of 15. I did buy several upgrades to get there. However I will not buy anything else until this problem is fixed. The Excelsior can only make it to level 64, and can not kill V'Ger ships above 61. So I can not earn upgrades for this ship. In the daily goals I am required to kill L64 V'ger ships with the Excelsior. So I have no way to upgrade the ship. I do try and damage L66 V'ger hostile ships. The problem is I have to repair and use huge amounts of E Tritanium. This is unstainable so now I have given up on this.

[flint river]

Make raiding bases steal Latinum 👀

[brisk ibex]

Not dismissing your issue and have heard the balance is still bad but have a couple questions / thoughts..

To preface I’m an OP’s 56 with a T4 Excelsior and can solidly kill 60 V’gers including the reveille ones..

Have the 61+ are brutal, much rougher then the 60’s but I’m wondering if you’ve looked at the crewing guides online for it?

Also are you using Naga Delvos below deck and is she maxed?
Between her and the FC skill trees that increase repair cost efficiency you can reduce cost to 10 - 15% of base cost (aka 15 Sigma vs 150 without)

[narrow perch]

Yes I have still the point is the ship can not make it to Level 66 to get the upgrades.

[brisk ibex]

That’s brutal, sorry was just trying to be helpful, just guided an alliance mate through his first kills with one yesterday

[narrow perch]

I understand and appreciate your help. I did forget about Naga Delvos though.

[brisk ibex]

I’m a G5 player (OP’s) who accidentally upgraded his Relativity to the point it needs it for every repair, I had to seriously scramble to work on reducing repair costs to manage my tiny stock of Sigma from a couple sources.

She made it possible to even keep using that ships lol

[clever arrow]

Daily fleet commander event isn't scoring

[hard aurora]

Credit where it's due: The new bulk claim feature in the factions store is a big time saver (my mild recommendation: a single meta button that would collect all). Also I like the new search by name function for officer crew loadouts.

Criticism: I rushed the arc mission and went down the "Dilemma" path even though I don't have the BP to build the Athena. Now I'm stuck. I opened up a trouble ticket in the hopes that support can back me up a step so I can follow the other path. As it is the weekend, I'm still waiting to hear back.

Look, I own this error. I wasn't paying attention. But any game pattern that requires the player to get in touch with support to fix is a bad game design, period.

[timber sage]

😒

[brisk ibex]

Soooooo they are saying it possible with participation in the event to unlock the new officers?

Is that false advertising?

Based on what it looks like it’s only possible to unlock them if you spend, which doesn’t feel like a standard level participation to me, because where they put the word “chance” is very important… 🤣

[timber sage]

Lol, I saw that and immediately turned off the notification. Seriously, the crews in it are awful, and you're not even guaranteed to unlock a park of even if you spend money. Of course, it's Tepic from Scopley. 🤣

[gritty stirrup]

theres no chance. the jackpot of 90 pity pulls gives 1/5 of officer.

[cosmic knoll]

problem with scopely is that until they are punished, they will keep testing the line

[molten jungle]

I placed 1st last month in my bracket, was still 25 short. Had to spend a bit of mats on the 2nd run. The new paragon recruit is 💩.

[cosmic knoll]

fortunately this week i needed 2 new g4 scrappers to get the G5 epic gas and ore that scopely refuse to add to any events or bps, despite removing choice tokens.

and ofc big shouty formating is moderated 😂
but lets focus on

The ship events though are also now behind a pay wall DO NOT bother spending on it the events are and resonate are not worth it they might be if they have locked everything behind master card. SO spend 100 on the ship and even more for the events, money grabbing vampires is the phrase that springs to mind

i would have bought a fleetcommander seat, but since this game seems to have less than a year left due to mis-management, ill be seeing if the VP sacks the person(s) responsible and starts fixing the shop and the game before i spend again

[brisk ibex]

Except they are being “punished” and seem to think the way to fix it is to hurt the player base further via strangulation..

It’s like the old “demotivational poster”

i remember we got chat mods for the game so pls gve me an pm to get the thinks clear

[grave quest]

i agree with you. the ship is garbage. Firstly, i have the research maxed for my ops (68) and ship tier. The buff does NOTHING for vger hostiles (the ones that attack you, i’m not counting the normal hostiles). Whenever i’m ready to tier up, i hold off until i know i have enough bits to get shield and armor upgrades before i tier up. it is such a garbage ship, it really enrages me how they must have not tested at all. or if they did, it was with maxed out accounts with every possible officer maxed and every chaos and forbidden tech possible. You are not alone with your issues, just remember to never tier up without having a lot of saved up parts and it should be ok.

[mighty ravine]

excelsior is mainly there to make vger loop sneaky

[wary hare]

Let me make my regular complaint about having a forever-ago-maxxed-out Revenant, but I am never able to get lucky enough to hit my 17% chance of drawing Continuum refinery G6 refined Ore, Gas, or Crystal. I pull 2 boxes of each G6 material from the Mark IV Material Fabricator in the Continuum refinery each day. I get rare G6 material about 1 time per week, even though I am pulling 42 boxes every week. That doesn't math right.

[vital pawn]

When I ask our bigs how they do certain loops they answer with an uncomfortable 'I use a speed crew'. We're not playing the same game

[fluid remnant]

What game?

[pulsar mulch]

Hello

[coarse burrow]

The mining rate is several orders of magnitude below the cost of repairs, upgrades, or construction. That's why I stopped playing a few weeks ago when scopely took over from digprm.

[nova sierra]

When will you change the PVP setup? Lvl 31 able to hit 21 and I cant even hit 5 levels below me.

[green patio]

It's set up this way deliberately, the only way lvl 31 players can possibly acquire the resources they need is if they have a few hundred lvl 21s mining for them, then they can come and collect as they need. The alternative would require higher mining rates at higher levels and that just wouldn't fit the Abrams ideology ...

[twilit slate]

they can't get resources from miners as the mine yield is so low, you never get over the protected limit - unless you deliberately keep your miners out there

the only thing it is doing is annoying everyone in the lower levels as they are unable to progress and get the necessary resources as they are being constantly raided

[supple bluff]

<@&509691205798592532> Please get rid of the serial meme spam troll.

@nova sierra
Please ask the devs how many years it will take me to upgrade to L24 ops, given the low number of G3 ore mines, their low volume and slow mining rates and the atrocious conversion of ore to G3 uncommon refined ore...

[twilit slate]

I have the same issue with Rare G3 - but guess what - NONE of the packs actually sells you any!!

[green patio]

On average you'll get 9 uncommon per week (use refinery twice per day) so another 4.5 months should get you there ... then you can start saving for the next building

[twilit slate]

Not sure how frequent Rare is meant to drop, I haven't had one in over 2 weeks and I need like 20 in total

[green patio]

Just keep in mind your Vahklas also requires uncommon ore to upgrade, so basically it's upgrade a ship or a building every 6 months .... the choice is yours 😎

[twilit slate]

So to upgrade my kehra and vahklas to allow the next tier (both tier 5 at the moment) I need a total of the following...

3x G3 Rare Ore
17x G3 Rare Gas
4x G3 Rare Crystal
plus millions in tritanium

Since I can't buy any of these and my refinery can't produce any of these, I am unable to do a thing. Missions are impossible as my ships cannot be made stronger, events are not possible as I can't do any upgrades, PvP well just forget it, they are too weak and too expensive to repair.

And this is all without actually seeing what is required for buildings as I will be mining for decades to gain the necessary tritanium to upgrade anything. ALL items need a reduction to allow progression because if you can't progress, you die and leave and not spend the thousands required to gain so little.

[elder mason]

what baffles me about all of htis

is how huge scopely is

they surely have game designers who realise there comes a point after level 25

where you basically have nothing to do

the incompetence of these developers is insane

@coarse burrow the only smart thing to do was quit. if they make the game playable again i'm back. over to you scopely rofl

[azure holly]

@supple bluff have a look at my ss on cf discord server...

[fathom copper]

@twilit slate you can buy some off it, but i strongly recommend that no one put money into the game, before the development team, are going to take the development off the game serious.

as fare as know the drop rate increase with the lvl off the refinery, but from lvl 24 to 25 the paywall is still 300 USD or around(you properly already spend it) my guess is you will be able to drop g3 rare(blue) after lvl 30, so paywall here is properly 3-5000 usd so if you are a rich man go for it🤑

[twilit slate]

Mine is on level 24 and will remain there due to not having the ability to gain the resources required to upgrade a thing to be able to upgrade the refinery.

I do not intend to, and now will not, spend any more cash on the game - I had spent $780 and for that I got next to nothing after the November merge and told by support to stop asking for any more.

I was wanting to upgrade my kehra to be able to compete against some of the players who like to farm others - that would have been the only way to upgrade it, but since the devs for some ridiculous reason do not offer them in store, then I will save my cash and invest it in other games. It is a shame the game was fantastic, now meh - easy to walk away and not play for days.

[fathom copper]

I am in the same boat

[proud musk]

Try mining in a faction area that hates you. 😅

[tepid robin]

Honestly, I am thinking twice about migrating long term to this game. The feedback has been poisonous. So far I've done nothing today, everything is being upgraded. It's a waiting game. This only gets worse, I hear. It's quite tedious.

My miners are being hit incessantly. About the only thing I can do is hit repair and then wait for 5 minutes for my ship to warp to its location. Rinse and repeat.

I could swap my miner for a lower level ship and send that out, but it can't do any of the missions because it's not strong enough.

At a certain point I'll be stuck with what I have, twiddling my thumbs. Then I'll be so bored I'll send out my ship to annoy new players who will hate me for making their life a complete misery.

Is this going anywhere? I was hoping for some major changes already with the 'general release' but nada. Not a peep as to when this will happen. Last night was interesting listening to other players, being trolled by a sociopath from my own server no-one can do anything about, but there was literally zero positivity. Literally zero. So negative.

I'm happy to give feedback, and such, but so far there's quite a few things that need to be fixed and right now I can't tell if the game has been radically rebalanced for the general release. As it is, gameplay has become quite dull in a very short space of time and the toxic nature of some players is massively off-putting.

I'll give it a few more days, but right now it's a big disappointment.

[gloomy oasis]

To be fair most negativity is tied to beta/softlaunch servers. ^^ i'm at level 18 f2p and i still enjoy it... with the aforementioned points of servers being different and all... ^_^ but... we'll see.

[glass venture]

@tepid robin How long have you played this game now?

[tepid robin]

Coupla weeks is all @glass venture. I'm at level 14 just waiting for my builds to catch up so I don't get totally hammered when I get to level 15.

It doesn't help that my server is filled with spam from a linguistically challenged troll with massive verbal diarrhea who has managed to build a starbase no-one can trash

[hushed swift]

Can I ask you @tepid robin , Why dont you just block said troll?

is there others that are less after you buy the first one?

Not to my knowledge, it could be different on your server as im on the oldest and most outdated server, but i doubt it

well thx for the feedback

[naive yoke]

<@&509690795536941056> communthe above screenshot outlines a huge issue...

[nova sierra]

Hey @naive yoke Thank you for the notes! While I know it may be getting tired as a response, it is going on my list and as soon as I have some answers to all of this initial feedback I will let you know.

Hey @nova sierra I have reports from CS about early December for mining and repair rate tweaks, maps being synced across servers ’soon' rather than weeks. Would appreciate if you could corroborate 👍

@nova sierra is it possible to add other methods to acquire rare and uncommon material rather than refining. I d love to kill hostiles for thé possibility of that dropping in thé pve crates

And while you re at it, post thé possible content and chance to get said content die those crates

@nova sierra My understanding on that is specifically in the coming weeks.

@nova sierra It's going on the list.

Thx @nova sierra

@nova sierra adjusting cooldown between refining (less time) and / or increasing return from refining would help too.

This would allow players to progress Faster and eg be able to do missions more frequent. I m currently stuck cause my npc enemies are way too strong to tackle yet

Eh a 600k freighter for a mission i picked up in a lvl 24 system, seriously?

Eg, not eh

[naive yoke]

Thanks @nova sierra my thought to fix the issue is instead of basing the ability to attack ships on your Ops level, base it on ship strength...

That gives players of all levels the chance to attack and defend themselves against ships of stength that makes it a fair fight...

As far as bases go, that could be restricted by ops level, 5 levels either way until level 20 than 3 levels either way after that as the strength of ships skyrocket...

[nova sierra]

I’ll make the comment again that I believe most of us players will put up with delays if the info from Scopely was more forthcoming. Just regular info updates with timeframes would stop a lot of the speculation and frustration.

And conflicting information from various channels isn't helping things, we end up believing no one

We were told in a Q&A a couple of weeks ago that it would be soon, the fleetcommandupdate.com website said in the coming WEEK. Now it's either early December or the coming weeks

1. Patch notes
2. Order of expected changes with timeframes
   These two things communicated in a read only channel on this server would be a good way to relay the info to the player base

[potent cipher]

that's within scope of what we'd like to achieve for sure

ie the placeholder #⭐-official-announcements room

[nova sierra]

Which is currently empty

Until then, this will be the first time ever my base will move to a lv1 system automatically due to inactivity.

I can just say, almost everyone on my server is tired and mad, tired of empty promises, tired of senseless grind, tired of sensless PvP, its too much to line everything up here.... But pls! pls! Wake up, Global Chat and also Alliance Chat, both are almost dead.... For real, you guys of scopely will have for sure the statistics of how many Players actually left.... The Game needs actuall Announcments, it needs depth in the matter of strategic and also a actual purpose.... We are all frustrated of "minor bug fixes" all the time

I have played this game religiously since week 2 of original beta in 2017, through all manner of bugs glitches, false starts when it came back from beta only to discover it was a QA server test and we shouldn't have been playing, during which I got an enterprise and was the first to do so, also first player to set course for sol as we were locked in independent space. I'm done now until it's fixed

Old screen shots?

Newest Update 😛

That looks like too much fun to be comparable

Very old @nova sierra

Before they let the Aussies loose

Heres feedback... fix the progression rates..the mining rates.. the repair costs. Otherwise Im making life hell for those 10 lvls below me. I look forward to them being able to stpp an 800k ship when their bases are 150k!

[nova sierra]

@potent cipher @nova sierra @nova sierra
Actall feedback ok, I ll do my best.
At first it was Fun, Graphics are nice and at start you have a lot of missions,
and you feel like you progress fast.
There are many Bugs but you can just look over them, cause its fun at this moment.

But then you are at lvl 18, and you look into the eyes of pure horror for everyone who got
hooked by the Game.

• Huge never ending Paywall

• Undoable Missions and NPCs

• Sensless PvP ( You can just attack miners to annoy People)

• Unbalanced PvP ( "Wallet Warriors can just do everything", Repair Cost > Win through PvP,
  Stations for Free2Play not beatable)

  • Suggestion: Dont let the biggest Bottleneck be the refined Materials, and Ship Upgrades,
    use the Staion Defense for it. (Raid Station to get on Parsteel, Trita, Dill
    to Upgrade the Station Defense)<- Make this your Grind! (For Example: Look at CoC for that with their Walls)

• Unbalanced RSS Managment and Mining Rates (Stations Cargo ALOT smaller then the actuall need for next Upgrade,
  too less Mines + WAY to small Uncommon G2/3 outcome)

• Way to expensive Micrtranactions ( You Buy a 5$ Pack, then you are forced to buy a 10$ then 20 and so on,
  you cant buy cheaper one if you alredy bought one. + You get way to less for what you buy,
  F.E. " Stachel of Latinium for 5$ you get 100 Latinium , I get the same amount if i play 1 or 2 Days,
  This is way too unbalanced.)

• Responses of Scopely (Tons of Players write to them with a lot of frustration, and all they get are
  Copy&Paste Messages wich sometimes even dont hit the Problem the wrote about at all.
  Then there is the Discord Q&A and alot of promises and with that hope for the Players.
  What do they get? Absolutly Nothing!

  PLS Scopely! We are more then just mad kids, we are frustrated that we see a game die,
  Where we put a lot of Hope into!

My Personal Opinion what this Game needs the most ?
In-Game Depth, I dont see what the End-Game should look like, and also I dont see a
a single Strategic thing on the Game.
(Someone could be the "best" on my Server with an IQ of 20 if his Wallet is big enough,
and we feel this lack of "Content")

There are many more aspects I surely didnt wrote about but yeah dont have the Time for all right now ^^

@potent cipher If you truly are from Scopely, can you provide any information on server selection / switching? Joining friends that are already playin gis impossible, which in the long term will be extremely detrimental to the community (especially as guilds from other games want to come over together).

[green patio]

[tepid robin]

I think a reputation is needed for players. If you keep hitting miners and low level players your reputation drops. At a certain level anyone can hit you and don't get a bad rep (unless a 'war' is declared between guilds). A war is a drain on people's coffers. They lose materials and health through general attrition as well as gameplay. A bad rep means that other things in the game become more difficult, upgrades, repairs to ship, missions etc. There should be a downside to pvp. You may get loot, but your power levels slowly decline. This does not happen if you are at war.

[green patio]

@tepid robin i think you are misunderstanding the game, everything is geared towards rewarding pvp .... the advantage is with the higher level players

[azure holly]

@tepid robin check out #💭-suggestions where we discussed managing pests

[tepid robin]

Uh @green patio I don't misunderstand the game I aim to improve it.

[green patio]

Whilst I agree with your sentiments sadly this is one area the develooers have made quite clear that they want, the higher your level the lower level targets you can hit. At first it's only 5/6 levels down, but over lvl 30 they can hit 10 levels down ..... apparently it's meant to be a "challenge" ...

[visual basin]

This is not a pvp game... unless you define pvp as an enounter where only one side is active 90% of the time and the other side isn't capable of mounting an effective defense

nor is +10/-10 a "challenge" in any way. If you are the higher level player in that situation and hitting opponents 10 levels down is "interesting" and "challenging" then you suck

to be blunt

its like calling a fox hunt a "pvp experience" ....

lol

[low quiver]

What they really mean to say, is they want to make the game competitive in spending and keep the players curious about what its like to be a wallet powered monstrosity and interested in spending more.

[tepid robin]

It's challenging my brain to try and figure out how this is remotely interesting. They should play their own game a bit to see just how interesting it is. I strongly recommend a rebalancing of the system by making actual pvp a thing and picking on mining ships a bit more of a 'challenge'. It's hardly a challenge to send your ship to a system and take out a bunch of players 10 levels below. It's hardly challenging to boast about your conquests of players 10 levels below in global chat incessantly. It's mind-bogglingly puerile and dull in fact.

[tepid robin]

Oh the challenge!

By an immensely humorous challenger merely known as ParkingAuthority.

My biggest challenge was to try and laugh at the name

Come on Twitcher I can see you coming....

[green patio]

I see you still have the bug where attackers name doesn't appear to in top right corner 👌

[tepid robin]

It comes up in the inbox I usually check to see which random player has challenged me so entertainingly this particular time. It keeps me amused.

[green patio]

We have 1 in our server too .... raids stations 10 lvls below with his miners so he can take millions of rss

[visual basin]

I've got that too but yeah, the "challenger" shows up in the title of the inbox notification... so brave ...😂

[green patio]

If you tap right hand corner it will bring up profile still, just doesn't display name

[tepid robin]

Okay thanks @green patio useful info

[green patio]

See if you can guess who the dipshit is on our server ?

[tepid robin]

Do they incessantly spam chat too?

[green patio]

Only occasionally ...

But i don't watch gc ....

[visual basin]

best solution for toxic gc is a sociable chan

clan

[vagrant creek]

Hah when a 15k talla is considered a bigger opponent

[stark citrus]

@vagrant creek i know, how about those 1.2mil enterprises hitting bases 11 lvls lower then them

[vagrant creek]

Havent had the honor yet xD

[stark citrus]

it was only 6 lvl differance when i got hit by 1 with 1mil power at the time, wiped everything out in 1 hit for 1/3 damage

[stiff kernel]

@To beta testers:
It is clearly not tomorrow that we will have the same rights as the new servers! In addition to some screens that have already seen on this Discord in different places, here are new ones. They always talk about "a few weeks".
It is frankly scandalous that they put us in "pause"!
For your information otherwise: we are not really Beta testers ... I do not know then what we really are? In any case, we are no longer taken into account, that's for sure! Where other games take care of their testers, I do not know how we should take the way we are treated. Many have put money to advance faster ... What do you expect them to do now that they are pausing compared to new players? Repay them? (Sorry for the bad english, a lot of google translate)

#fixbetaservers

[stiff kernel]

For those who can read between the lines that mean : we are in the deep shit because we don’t already know how switching players from one server to an other. We tought that it will go easily but for now we realize that we will have to do it as the first time during the migration because we are unable to find a solution. Our game is wonky and become rapidly unplayable either for the new players on our brand new servers made for the world release, because of this we lose most of our time correcting things which should work for a long time. But keep your calm, we just say nothing because we are as bad in communication than as devs.
#fixbetaserversnow

[nova sierra]

Make base mine rates increase with system level, fix repair costs. Those two simple code tweaks, hell copy and paste from S1 where they were perfect, would make the game playable again for everyone lv15+

[azure holly]

@stiff kernel reading between the lines they're letting the launch servers catch up before unhobbling us!

[nova sierra]

Better mining rates on other servers

Lv9 system with T3 fortunate

Lv29 system with maxed fortunate

Can all you noobs hurry the hell up and catch up with us please?

[stark citrus]

i think the refinery method now is pretty good, will stop alot of ppl camping g3 mines, just need to add the 75k refinment to the g3 crystal

[nova sierra]

No it isnt

Less time between refining and more turnout is needed. Otherwise you re stuck for ages. And buying packs is useless at some Point since u need three of Four times thé amount provided in thé most expensive pack tot do 1 upgrade

So yes, @nova sierra , i follow u. New players, fill that Gap quickly please

[stark citrus]

if you can do 2 refinements a day with 3 batches refined at a time then it doesnt take that long, not everything can be handed out, it's atleast far better then trying to get 600k raw g3 to make 1 refinement

[nova sierra]

Wait till u see thé chances foto uncommon 3* stuff. Practically impossible

[crude kindle]

Wait till you need 17k G3 common just to upgrade a cargo bay on a ship @stark citrus

[stark citrus]

@crude kindle thats where they need to rebalance costs for upgrades, and time taken for upgrades

[crude kindle]

@stark citrus i hear ya mate.

[fathom copper]

When you see the droprates from the G3 you understand that the team behind the game never intended that f2p should keep playing after lvl 25 or around.

[nova sierra]

Of even reach that level...

Or

[obsidian ivy]

1. Adjust the zoom/zoom-out so that it doesn’t feel so sluggish

2. Add the ability to cancel warp

3 Remove any speed ups that are over the amount needed for the upgrade to be complete (I used a 3 hour speed up by mistake on a 1.5hr project) ,

4. Add ability to switch servers

5. Make the game clients “access gates” so you can share your account on multiple devices cross platform

6. Add ability to cancel recall (perhaps a setting?) I find myself accidentally pressing this button often

7. Create a desktop version, or optimize GUI it is too crowded & this type of game may be better suited for a computer

8. Add “pin” or “primary mission” feature to mission log to mark a mission as primary & pin it to the top of the list —— more to come

[rugged drift]

Please fix the unbalanced pvp should be power based not level as there is alot of ptp at lvl 15 with a 40k jellyfish thanks

[elder mason]

@nova sierra Why is the dev team so unfailingly incompetent? Just answer that. Thanks.

[nova sierra]

@elder mason refrain from insulting People. It doesnt help our case for improvement of this game. By thé way, we don't know how many People work on this game and how many time they can spend on it. Thé fact things go slow doesnt Mean they re incompetent. They could just be working on something Else.

[elder mason]

It's been a month, and every promise has been broken.

If you want to keep believing they have good intentions, you are more than welcome to lie down and take it. I'm not

[nova sierra]

OH, i m not keeping quiet. Just insulting isn't going to help either

[elder mason]

Ok, what has worked so far?

[nova sierra]

Just keep sending tickets, give feedback and hold on for a bit.

[elder mason]

lol

people have been doing that for literally months

this is sucker talk

[nova sierra]

Btw i m a lvl 25 in this game

[elder mason]

yeah and i'm 27

so what

[nova sierra]

I m just cruising at thé moment. Give em some time. Things Will not change overnight

[elder mason]

Things aren't changing at all lol

it's literally been a month

and they haven't even fixed something as basic as repair costs

[nova sierra]

I saw worse

[elder mason]

ok

nothing you are saying is helpful

have a good life

[nova sierra]

Ik see you are also said on your opinion. Let s agree to disagree

Set not said

[rugged drift]

<@&509691205798592532> I hope the email I sent yesterday was reviewed the individual I reported for hacking is still running around throwing pretend money into your game

[hallow scarab]

I'm fairly certain they're not gonna be happy posting support ticket responses. At least i've never known a company that was ok with it, so might wanna watch out doing that.

[vagrant creek]

Wow... thats heavy

[azure holly]

@elder mason It's been over 6 months for a lot of us who were on the first server.... Lots still to be fixed there. So one month is nothing mate!

[livid vapor]

@nova sierra agree totally with what you said above, a game like they will be working their asses off, if you think @elder mason you can make a game like this exactly bug free go ahead, until you, I’m sure the game Dev don’t like being insulted anymore than you would like being insulted, some@of us have been here from nearly the beginning, which is a lot longer then the month you are complaining about, and yea there are thing that we haven’t had fixed too, but imagine trying to fix everything, and making sure it doesn’t break something else. Things like games are not always an easy thing to Code and Problem solve, for every problem or bug we have hey have to try and find the cause, which may not be so easy between thousands of lines or code, and then figure out a fix

[elder mason]

Lol

I have been playing for 4 months

And you are clearly incapable of reading

My problem is not with the bugs but with the broken promises and the contempt of the devs

[naive garden]

@elder mason and like to they said, you do better

either that or wait

nothing any one says is gonna fix shit

[elder mason]

U literally do not understand what I have done haha

[naive garden]

file tickets

[elder mason]

I own the r/startrekfleetcommand subreddit

[naive garden]

i understand you wasted your time

[elder mason]

I can warn a heap of new users off the game any time I like

[naive garden]

do it

it wont matter

[elder mason]

So yeah I have some leverage on getting the Devs to listen and stop treating us like garbage

Maybe

[naive garden]

no you don't

[elder mason]

But it's more than anything your useless ass can so

Lol yes I do

[naive garden]

lol

[elder mason]

In 4 days since launch its had 500 subs

[naive garden]

you control funding?

[elder mason]

Yes

If I header the subreddit with negative review

The ppl who see it are much less likely to purchase

[naive garden]

reddit is shit

[elder mason]

I'll give U some time for that to sink in

[naive garden]

i never use it

[elder mason]

Ok U are a useless human lol

Bue

Bye

[naive garden]

lol

well

so obviously ya ajnt shit

can't even have a conversation

[elder mason]

I can. U can't use basic logic

Literally the equivalent of talking to a wall

But a dumb wall that says stupid shit

[naive garden]

lol I assure you that I can

[elder mason]

"i think Reddit is shit and I don't use it" is a great point to make when I tell U that 500 fleet command users subbed to my Reddit since launch

[naive garden]

your the one saying can have reddit shut shit down

[elder mason]

I can use my subreddit to hurt their salws

Yes

That is literally something I can do rofl

[naive garden]

do it

[elder mason]

I have told them I will

If we are not listened to

[naive garden]

i expect this game shut down tomorrow

[elder mason]

They actually reached out to me on reddit

To try to post on it in an official capacity

And I told them what they needed to do to earn that privilege

And what not doing would cost them

Lets see what a reply looks like :)

[naive garden]

im waiting for the game to die

whats taking so long

[elder mason]

Anyway u are a seriously sub-intellectual person so I'm gonna go do anything other than talk to u

Byyyeeeeeee

[naive garden]

lol

yeah that dude ain't going anywhere

dudes, hes got 500 subs lol

based off nothing but the game name!

but apparently can't have a convo!

@elder mason oh just decrypted your name dan justcocks about my ass

i really find it funny think Reddit matter to anything lol

most the world doesn't give a f7ck about Reddit

ok so ya don't actually matter

[azure holly]

@elder mason Ignore him, he's a troll that is unconstructive and has nothing better to do than stir trouble... Best thing to do is not engage and ignore him. Yes, I know who you are @naive garden without unblocking you...

[crude kindle]

Meh...i just blocked him... can put up with alot of dribble. Playing for 4 days...instaexpert lol.

[azure holly]

@crude kindle He's a troll, plain and simple ... I have no time for people like that

[dusty swan]

Hello, I want to make an official complaint about the game. Also I want to be erased from your DB, with all my information progress and last but not least get my money back, is there somebody who can give me an adresse pls?

[nova sierra]

Make a ticket... no point in trying to do that here

[e-mail]

@dusty swan ⬆

[dusty swan]

Thx guys

[tulip mulch]

Let us know what they will answer

@dusty swan

[dusty swan]

I think that I will put that in my loyer hands...I have really the feeling that I was robbed

I don’t like Star Trek anymore lol and was such a huge fan

[visual basin]

just reverse the charges on your cc. You'll no doubt get banned but it sounds like that's what you want. For reason you can say, only if its true, that you didn't get what you paid for

[nova sierra]

@potent cipher @nova sierra @nova sierra
Actall feedback ok, I ll do my best.
At first it was Fun, Graphics are nice and at start you have a lot of missions,
and you feel like you progress fast.
There are many Bugs but you can just look over them, cause its fun at this moment.

But then you are at lvl 18, and you look into the eyes of pure horror for everyone who got
hooked by the Game.

• Huge never ending Paywall

• Undoable Missions and NPCs

• Sensless PvP ( You can just attack miners to annoy People)

• Unbalanced PvP ( "Wallet Warriors can just do everything", Repair Cost > Win through PvP,
  Stations for Free2Play not beatable)

  • Suggestion: Dont let the biggest Bottleneck be the refined Materials, and Ship Upgrades,
    use the Staion Defense for it. (Raid Station to get on Parsteel, Trita, Dill
    to Upgrade the Station Defense)<- Make this your Grind! (For Example: Look at CoC for that with their Walls)

• Unbalanced RSS Managment and Mining Rates (Stations Cargo ALOT small the actuall need for next Upgrade,
  too less Mines + WAY to small Uncommon G2/3 outcome)

• Way to expensive Micrtranactions ( You Buy a 5$ Pack, then you are forced to buy a 10$ then 20 and so on,
  you cant buy cheaper one if you alredy bought one. + You get way to less for what you buy,
  F.E. " Stachel of Latinium for 5$ you get 100 Latinium , I get the same amount if i play 1 or 2 Days,
  This is way too unbalanced.)

• Responses of Scopely (Tons of Players write to them with a lot of frustration, and all they get are
  Copy&Paste Messages wich sometimes even dont hit the Problem the wrote about at all.
  Then there is the Discord Q&A and alot of promises and with that hope for the Players.
  What do they get? Absolutly Nothing!

  PLS Scopely! We are more then just mad kids, we are frustrated that we see a game die,
  Where we put a lot of Hope into!

My Personal Opinion what this Game needs the most ?
In-Game Depth, I dont see what the End-Game should look like, and also I dont see a
a single Strategic thing on the Game.
(Someone could be the "best" on my Server with an IQ of 20 if jis Wallet is big enough,
and we feel this lack of "Content")

There are many more aspects I surely didnt wrote about but yeah dont have the Time for all right now ^^

Best Regards
Admiral AgentSmith "aka" Wolfssucher
@nova sierra @potent cipher @nova sierra

[potent cipher]

ty for the broad report, some of it being actioned on already

[nova sierra]

@potent cipher is it honestly going to stay +/- 10 levels for attacking bases? A lot of players have quit after getting their bases drained by stronger players with 300k+ miners that can take 1mil Res per attack. Plus with only a 5min bubble after 1st attack then nothing literally weeks of saving for an upgrade can be wiped out in 10mins

[potent cipher]

I don't have the design standpoint on that as we speak, but for ure we've ben talking about it ourselves with Q2 - I for one would also input in the same direction as wolf hinted.

or increase the shield mechanics / percentage of ressources that can be looted, scaled per player level difference

is what I advocate for, failing to know the specifics at this very moment though, just hit 15, let's see what's that all about now!

if the incentive to raid a very lower level base is being dimished, by having very poor yield, then we can asume this behavior will slowly vanish @nova sierra

[nova sierra]

The 29 players above could also raid in that manner if they wish, they just have a modicum of conscience @potent cipher

[potent cipher]

yeah tough to blame on players behavior here.. as they do something that's possible to do in game. we likely need to address that indeed.

[nova sierra]

Yeah I hear ya, still doesn't sit right that someone would actively drain bases and take so many players out of the game

All because they can

[potent cipher]

don't you worry, the game has just launched and an incredible amount of players are coming in! Exciting times. I hear your concerns, and the design pain points you guys are willing to see amended already. we do log them and seriously distill them and pass on recos to the team. Having said that, it's true to point out that dev efforts have been focused onto the launch rollout, server capacity etc - and that we now need to iterate on those design amends. Q2 will have more on this front soon-ish

appreciate your patience on those

[visual basin]

@potent cipher @nova sierra @nova sierra Long time Nova Empire player here as I was in that game from its opening until October of this year. You have a LOT going for you in this game over that and others. What has been said by other players here, most recently @nova sierra is spot on. You can learn from Nova Empire in two huge respects: 1. Their customer service is 1st rate. You have something to say, it gets fixed or explained. Their ingame help takes you to chat and they do respond within a few days with actual, real responses most of the time, not cut and paste. The other thing is their ingame store and inapp purchases. A LOT more available and they run specials that must use algorithms based on your purchase history. You have some form of that as the store reconfigures here with each purchase but you could do better with it. (yes I'm a spender, not huge but I do invest in my leisure without any shame at all because I'm old, I've got it and I can do that ...) What I mean by do better is Nova uses your purchase history and must narrow down to what you are trying to get because after a few purchases, the ingame specials thrown your way every day seem to be tailored to what you have spent most recently on. ie: if I went for "recruitment tickets" there for "commanders" (characters here, its similar with no shards, just options of picking 1 from 3 choices of who you want) and did so more than once or twice, I'd have 5 specials in my inbox the next day, all of them prominently featuring... you got it recruitment tickets and the value there with the discounted specials would be real. My ingame daily missions would then also include.... yep, recruitment tickets (not always the case but most of time it works like that after you've played a month or so )

There are huge downsides with Nova as they keep having to open new servers as by the time existing servers get to server wars, its not 20 clans of 80-120 players each per server... its 8 players total per server (usually in two clans each because of the screwed up ingame clan workshop system (think refinery here)) so server v server there is usually 8 v 8 or 12 v 12 at best..... Anyway, STFC blows Nova Empire out of the water in my limited experience but their purchase algorithms and customer service are strengths there where both are weak spots for Scopely and STFC. Good luck. I'm here and not there and that should say something about where I see the best long term prospects.

and also well said @nova sierra

sorry to keep adding to the novel but one thing here that didn't exist there is this type of interaction and I realize and appreciate that very much. I also realize that you will eventually go to a more structured system for feedback and improvement but I like being able to voice concerns in this format while I can. Apologies again for the novel.

[nova sierra]

I haven't spent a penny on this game since August or September as it got to a point where I would need 4 ultra packs to upgrade a single component on my bortas or centurion. I have no issues put money into my favourite pastimes but there has to be value to be had

Hi @visual basin, we do hear you. I am hoping that, soon, I am going to be able to offer everyone responses to questions in a more timely fashion - both here and on our other social channels. I am grateful to all of you for being so patient with me in my first days. Answers are coming - until then your points are going on the list.

@nova sierra 's list

Same message goes to @nova sierra , @nova sierra , and everyone else who is supplying feedback. It is all appreciated.

Here was me thinking the first list gif would be Jericho. 😄

[fathom copper]

End off day the problem is, i can do nothing when i log into the game, and i am "only" lvl 24. Game was ok balanced up to lvl15 after that, there is no content and no balance. ppl are leaving and those that are left, stopped spending.

[nova sierra]

100% right @fathom copper , game is geared to accelerate lower levels at the expense of those over lv20. Hopefully will be adjusted sooner rather than later

[fathom copper]

They could start simple, increase storage capacity by 200%, make 2-3 raids, 10 events that are acutely events, maybe 1 every day, and 2-3 in weekend. Then combat need to be skill baced.

[nova sierra]

Once you're on G3 ships your operating on a loss

[nova sierra]

I was playing hours a day on this game, even if just next to doing “more important things”
I’m down to the 5-10mins a day now to move miners, refine and do a few daily missions.
Trying to get ops to 24 and need 33 uncommon Ore. In the last week I’ve received 3 through refinery....3....in case you misread that........3 in about 8 days :/

But as I like the concept and universe, Hope is still clinging on with dirty fingernails

[formal sonnet]

I am waiting for 2 weeks for a single uncommon ore to be refined and got stuck at 40/200 for the operations lv 24 building.
The spawn rate is currently the same like more than a month ago it was the case with uncommon g2.
Its really frustrating and my gaming time is drastically lower than before as well.
Its saddening to see a potentially good game being constantly ruined with extremely difficult grindwalls/paywalls. I will do a ticket on this, among many other things, but my guess is that the situation will be similar in the next months.
Its hopeless ☹

[lethal dock]

How the hell are we going to get this amount of resources that you gave to other players?

[hushed swift]

<@&509690795536941056> Will the beta servers this week be equalised with the new servers per Keensers assertion? Just hoping the word will be kept or we will be kept in the loop to any more delays. #fixbetaservers

[azure holly]

@hushed swift Lets hope it goes smoother than the last major update that we had...

[hushed swift]

Hahaha Yep Farty. Lets hope.

[maiden kite]

<@&509690795536941056> so are we getting some sort of timeline for these fixes or just more of the same ‘we’re working on it’ bollocks? It’s now been a month since the server merge where all these issues were identified and pointed out to your devs. That’s a month of empty promises. A month of useless ‘support’ tickets. A month where your players have been screaming out for help while getting useless platitudes in response. How much longer do we have to wait until the game becomes vaguely playable again? Give us timelines for your efforts. Tell us what you’ve actually fixed in that time. Actually communicate with the players please. Give us some hope that we’re not just being ignored as usual. Show us what you’re doing. Not just ‘we’re working on it’, because clearly you aren’t if nothing has happened in a month. #fixbetaservers

[nova sierra]

@maiden kite ive been coding games since 1989 , and this has got to be one of the buggiest pieces of software ive ever seen. I could write a 50 page paper listing the bugs. There's really no excuse for something like this to come out of the beta phase. this really is an Alpha build IMO

[azure holly]

@nova sierra Could??? I've been playing for over 6 months & have!

[nova sierra]

@azure holly this game needed another 2-3 months of beta testing, bug fixes, and more content. I just hit Level 19 , and there's not much to do but mine

@azure holly the game is only less than a week old, but i assume you tested it for 6 mo?

[azure holly]

It was in beta testing for over a year! Just ask @nova sierra and his Irish buddies....

[nova sierra]

@azure holly thats.. just sad.. a year of testing should have produced a polished product

[azure holly]

One would think

[nova sierra]

@azure holly it has memory leaks... the UI crashes and stops working... it can't sync up with the severs properly.. I could list 1000 issues

[azure holly]

yes

[naive garden]

@nova sierra you should check out Star trek timelines, way worse then this game

[azure holly]

we have listed all of these and more with the devs ... I have multiple bugs causing loss of resorces that are now over 2 weeks unresolved by customer support ... they simply don't care....

I bet it's that troll that has to butt in to everything ... thank god I have him blocked so that I don't have to read his contripe dribble

[nova sierra]

@naive garden I play ST timelines lol.. it's terrible

[naive garden]

exactly

so how you cannot believe how this game is going is strange

this game is a breath of fresh air compared to DB

[nova sierra]

I could have debugged this code in just a couple months by myself. What are the devs doing?

[naive garden]

dealing with global launch

[nova sierra]

lol this should have been debugged LONG before launch lol

[naive garden]

when timelines launched their server died daily

this game server has been pretty stable

[nova sierra]

the server isn't bad.. it's the client thats horrific

[naive garden]

eh

I wouldn't call it that bad

it's more of a resources issue

and game balance

but everything generally works

mobile games these days.dont invest in QA

they use players.for that

[nova sierra]

It's terrible.. it has memory leaks, crashes, the ui stops working.. you have to restart the game every 10-15mins or it becomes unplayable

[naive garden]

hmmm

haven't had those issues last few weeks

[azure holly]

The server seems to have settled more... the client does have a lot of bugs but, depending on which server you're playing on, there is a major game balancing issue to a point that if you're over level 15~20 it is almost impossible to level up ... the cost to repair is more than the rewards from battle....

[nova sierra]

after 15mins, it's using 4GB of ram on my ipad pro and crashes due to being out of memory

[naive garden]

ive never had it crash

but i am on Android

[azure holly]

many of us have moved over to Nova Empire waiting to see what the devs do ...

[naive garden]

so maybe an iOS issue

[nova sierra]

the ios version is horrific

the droid version seems a bit better

[naive garden]

deving for iOS is also horrific lol

[nova sierra]

no it's not lol

[naive garden]

it so is

[azure holly]

What's that @nova sierra ?

[nova sierra]

it's EASY.. there's no excuse for something this bad

[naive garden]

easy maybe

but still annoying

cause you can take the Android version and easily port it to every other platform in a day

[nova sierra]

well there are no other mobile platforms LOL.. except maybe windows and that's not an easy port

[naive garden]

well theres steamz Facebook, normal web

pc

plus amazon

[nova sierra]

amazon isn't really an operating system

[naive garden]

but its a game source

actually one of the best

cause of their Amazon coins

best for spenders i mean

[nova sierra]

yeah but that doesn't count as a port IMO.. a port is android, ios, windows, playstation, xbox, Switch

[naive garden]

yes but they all have their quirks

[nova sierra]

Sort of.. but not really if you're an experienced coder

And if this has been testing for a year, the client should be almost flawless

[naive garden]

nah

look at timelines lol

[nova sierra]

That's no excuse

[naive garden]

its had 3 years

[nova sierra]

it's called "lazy"

companies dont want to pay the devs time to fix it

[naive garden]

also this game was sold at some point

within that year

and scopely took over

so I don't think original coders are still with it

[nova sierra]

They're gonna lose a lot of $$ if they dont roll those fixes out in 1-2 weeks, people are gonna walk away

[naive garden]

but come on, look at windows

they fuck updates up every year

[nova sierra]

lol windows is 10000x more stable than this game lol

[naive garden]

like they had a major one a month or 2 ago

deleting files

[nova sierra]

again my point is, as a developer who's been coding since 1989 - no excuse unless they just lack the budget to fix this mess.. in which case it shouldn't have been released

[naive garden]

but ya remember windows 98? bsod all the time?

oh man

its mobile games

[nova sierra]

that was because they had 1000s of different hardware to deal with

[naive garden]

get shit out and sell

thats the goal

you want stable stick to consoles

[nova sierra]

mobile games deal with fixed hardware and a LOT more stable Operating systems. a noob coder can code mobile games

[naive garden]

and noob coders make gaming companies

[nova sierra]

mobile platforms are by far the easiest things to code for

and companies like this make MILLIONS from the IAPs.. so no excuse not to hire a crack team

[naive garden]

well

actually there is cause ya can take those millions for your self

[nova sierra]

then I go back to the no excuse route lol

[naive garden]

lol

they plan probably for a 2 year shelf life

make 20 mil and onto the next disaster

they dont want a polished product

they want sales

and by making shiny stuff they make money

[nova sierra]

Well yea but this is NOT shiny LOL

[naive garden]

it is though

[nova sierra]

it's a cluster lol

[naive garden]

maybe not for you

but for enough

and enough is all that matters

[nova sierra]

1/2 of my server has stopped playing cause of the problems

ships just sit there piling up in the system because people quit after 1-2 days because they said screw it

[naive garden]

they only need the top 0.5%

of spenders

they dont care about free players

[nova sierra]

that's just... sad. they'd make more if the product was polished.. they'd get a lot more people paying lol

[naive garden]

but that's the thing

they dont gotta

cause those 0.5% percent will spend anyway

[nova sierra]

I just need to start my own mobile company and make quality games

[naive garden]

do it

I'll work for you lol

[nova sierra]

I used to work for Verant, sony 989, and SOE for years. Now i just do contracts mostly and ho out my coding skills lo

lol

[naive garden]

im currently working for a hybrid car battery maker and make software to build the best batteries

[nova sierra]

I have to code games or I go crazy

[naive garden]

yeah coding games would be my dream job

because I have more fun coding vs playing em lol

[nova sierra]

@naive garden LOL. I must sleep.. 00:28 here. I sent you a friend rq

[naive garden]

accepted, good night lol

[plain marsh]

Been playing about a week now. Initial impressions are this game is extremely pay to win, much buggier than I would expect on a GA release.

I think the only reason I’m still playing is that this is Star Trek. Any other game I would have uninstalled by now.

[naive yoke]

It's not just play to win... It's cureent set up is pay to play... And the packs get more expensive... Coupled with the PvP element of the game I really have to question the ability of the devs to be able to do basic maths...

[naive yoke]

@nova sierra What is the point of having multiple servers running different versions of the game?

Would it not make more sense to have all servers running the same version, so that bugs can be found far easier by the development crew?

It just seems like a very strange decision...

[nova sierra]

@naive yoke My guess is that they know every Server of them is Unbalanced so they try right knlw diffrent kinds of it to look what goes better in overhaul

[crude kindle]

We all beta testers now lol

[maiden kite]

@nova sierra here’s your daily reminder that the people on the old beta server are still desperately waiting for you guys to actually do anything to fix the massive problems #nomorepromiseswewantaction

[hushed swift]

#fixbetaservers

[vagrant creek]

Agreed, #betapeepsmattertoo

[marble wedge]

Some of the In-App Purchase packs have a frame with extra boosts "+100% Ship Shields". Is that bonus time based? If so, how long and is there a timer displayed somewhere?

[nova sierra]

No, it contains thé stuff needed tot do prime shields research. Buying it doesnt give u extra shields as is

[marble wedge]

Ah ok! That make sense. Thanks!

[hallow scarab]

It would be really helpful if people would change their server nick to their [alliance] ign

[grizzled portal]

@hallow scarab why? You realize not everyone is on the same server...you wouldn’t know 80% of the alliance names

[hallow scarab]

i'll do you one better, why not?

[gleaming valve]

Causes they don’t exist in the server you play in

[unique niche]

What are early grade 2 space missions?

[hallow scarab]

fine whatever i don't care.

[nova sierra]

Love the game please keep up your efforts to make the game even better. crucial that the business model doesnt get greedy, please keep it balanced

[viscid dove]

@nova sierra agreed

[naive yoke]

From what others have said about the packs increasing in price and barely in value, it is already greedy @nova sierra

[nova sierra]

packs increasing in price is a good thing. the cost should go up the more you spend

[visual basin]

Then we should be spending your money since you believe that's the way it should be

[naive yoke]

Paying more for a pack of resources than a full game is not a good model...

[weary oak]

They have to make $$ somehow, otherwise the game won't last long. Though, I do hope the prices don't get ridiculous like they are for Dragon Blaze. Anyways, I'd like to see them allow us to keep the $9.99 packs available as well as the $19.99 packs. I'm at the point where only the $49.99 stuff is showing and I won't buy those. I'd rather spend a little here and there versus a ton in one shot.

[naive yoke]

You are still in the cheap section... I won't pay more tha $10 for a microtransaction when I can get a fully completed game without glitches for that...

[fathom copper]

update now

[lethal thistle]

@fathom copper is that a request, or are you letting us know the update is out 😄

[fathom copper]

its an uprising against scoply, everyone should spam this an also # stop spending

on all servers

[lethal thistle]

thanks for clarifying 😄

[fathom copper]

Think about how many ppl that have spend 500 usd+ and scoply just fk everyone up an rund away with the🤑 🤑 🤑

[buoyant rose]

on any console game for less than 100 euros you get a decent game with wonderfull graphics and story line bugs free

here to go from 23 to 24 level to you need to pay 100 for u.ncommon g3 resources. count me out.

at least if you had a gameplay. you get stuck in missions. impossible to upgrade ships. repair costs for ships soars and pvp is inexistent except attacking miners

[fathom copper]

this betrayal off the customers should cost scoply acces to googly play and iOS, i know its not gone happen becuse they are as creedy as scoply😒

[buoyant rose]

stupid is not who is asking is the one who is paying. for me i just hang in there for few more days until next update and then go if they do not improve. a lot. most probable i will leave, because i do not see a sudden change of hearth from scopely.

[fathom copper]

been playing for 3 month and no update yes

[buoyant rose]

here you have two kind of problems. 1 technical bugs. blame half developers and half management. 2 payment and grow model which is to blame only on management

1 is relatively easy to solve if you have good people focusing on it. second one i do not believe so.

[naive yoke]

#Where are the updates?

[green patio]

@naive yoke check the "official announcements" channel, has up to date information on all updates including eta .....

[vast basin]

My general feedback? You guys suck! Learn about software updates and how to implement fixes and listen to your customers.

[shell epoch]

Progression too slow

getting enough ores for upgrades take literal weeks

[languid shale]

@shell epoch what progression? LOL

[vast basin]

There is definately progress

New bugs every day!

[modest swift]

I play a different space fighting phone app game... and a group from our alliance decided to give this a try. We all created our accounts within a day of each other, but it seems to have thrown us all into different servers. This reduces the likelihood we’ll continue to play as we can’t play it together. Is there some way of having our accounts transferred onto the same server?

[nova sierra]

Hahahahaha nope!

And if you mail scopely, they will copy and paste something about being a valued customer and add it to some list

[naive yoke]

Lol @green patio its empty i see...

[green patio]

😀

[naive yoke]

Must be like that list they keep going on about...

[modest swift]

Oooo... yeah. Just noticed on the FAQ it’s the first thing on the list of questions. Something they are ‘actively working on’. I suppose sending in extra tickets won’t hurt :p

[vast basin]

They won't understand, ask you to send a screenshot you already provided. Ask information about the acreenshot when it is visible

And then give you a bs answer

[naive yoke]

Copy and paste...

Rinse and repeat...

[empty flare]

Likely the only subject to raise any eyebrows on the other end is "I was going to press buy, but I didn't do so because x"

[naive yoke]

Most likely...

"The purpose of this server is to give Star Trek Fleet Command players a welcoming and stress-free space."

Well that hasn't worked lol

Just reading how many people are suffering through the bugs and paywalls in this game is stressful... Let alone knowing that the chances of a problem you are suffering with getting fixed are slime to none.

[naive yoke]

I'm really not sure how anyone gets pleasure from paying to advance... Sure you surpass a small part of the grind, but it's just rinse and repeat... Where is the glory?

[nova sierra]

My refinery has dropped 3 uncommon ore in 10 days. That is no longer grinding

[lethal thistle]

I was shocked when i got 60 today

normally get 0-4

mostly 0

[nova sierra]

At G3 lvl that won’t happen

[lethal thistle]

ya i believe that

[naive yoke]

Uncommon G3 resources are so rare they make latinum look like dirt...

[lavish prism]

On new server. There is plenty of G3 RSS mine.

[crude kindle]

My problems the opposite - i refine and get way more uncommon than common G3 - and i need common more!

[nova sierra]

@visual basin you would prefer packs remain cheap so that whales can buy even more?....

[naive yoke]

@nova sierra @visual basin They should remove the packs altogetner and get revenue from ads instead... So many better releases use adverts to get the same kind of resources you get in those packs...

[visual basin]

@nova sierra Are you suggesting you will pay for them for us if they don't.

No one wants to spend more than they have to

and I don't mind investing in my leisure but I do mind the feeling of being forced to greater and greater investments without seeing a solid return on what has already been put in.

@naive yoke actually I would favor that or a flat fee game upfront that makes those who do play invest some skin in the game as it were.

@kix whales will invest regardless of price so your comment has a major logical failing to it which is why I responded the way I did.

[nova sierra]

Of course they will spend no matter what. but they should pay extreme prices the more they want to spend

[dusty hedge]

My contribution to the issues

[dusty hedge]

And their response and my counter

[supple bluff]

@dusty hedge

Stop your whinging you muppet.

The developers have given you an answer... They want the game to be more challenging for you. Don't you find that taking 38 years to complete something that used to take 21 hours is a challenge?

And stop complaining about a L31 player with a 2 million power ship that they were GIVEN just because they were more efficient at whinging in one support message than a muppet like you who took 4 weeks of hard slog playing 18 hours a day were able to only progress half way to.

By the way... My comments are totally tongue in cheek and just express what Skopely support would probably say to you if they were honest.

[river blaze]

I have some general feedback for the devs. The game is now a steaming pile of poo @everyone

[nova sierra]

💩

[dusty hedge]

@supple bluff, man!! You made my night!!! 😂😂😂

[maiden kite]

@nova sierra @potent cipher just your daily reminder that you now have one day left for the promised increase in rss availability to bring us betas on par with the new ‘instances’. We’ve patiently waited as keenser asked for. Now where is the action to back it up? #betalivesmatter #fixetaservers #itsbeensixdamnmonths #dumpsterfire

You’d think, as a lay person, that if your business was being dragged through the mud and rapidly gaining a reputation for outright lies and pathetic non-existent customer service as well as being known for absolutely terrible product development. That you’d actually be motivated to try and fix the problems and rebuild your business reputation. But I can’t speak for Scopely who seem to have chosen a different tactic. The damage that’s been done to Scopely by the lack of action and outright dishonest practices of its management and developers is staggering in it’s scope (pun intended). It’s almost like they want to destroy their own business.

[naive yoke]

This game is a cash grab... They put BETA testers in, didn't do anything about their feedback, porked the game even further to tempt players into paying to advance rather that pLaying to advance...

I love Star Trek and hate that the Star Trek universe has been shat on by a greedy company ripping people off...

So much well thought out feedback ignored,,, Patience is wearing thin for many of us...

We want action...

We want Star Trek to be respected...

[nova sierra]

I support 666scar statement. Game full of bugs. System ive been to are not discovered. Refinerny with a chane to get uncommen sucks, 115-210 days to get 300 uncommen gas are ridicules.

[formal sonnet]

I agree with Belreion, new bugs yet again, what the hell is happening

[marble hamlet]

<@&509690795536941056> I'm really enjoying the game first of all and I know it's early days so a lot is being worked out. One particular point of feedback I have is regarding the cost of station upgrades as you go up in level. Currently, my next Op upgrade is well north of 1 mil, but my Parsteel storage isn't large enough for that. I have maxed out Parsteel storage in both research and on the station building itself, so it seems downright weird and mining/completing quests/pillaging for the remainder seems like a poor design choice.

[vast basin]

I hate to be the one to have to tell you, but that is the way it's been designed

[nova sierra]

@marble hamlet it’s not early days, the first server started almost a year ago. What you are seeing is the polished finished product

We are all to blame 😂😂

[marble hamlet]

No kidding? Fun...

[feral apex]

@potent cipher <@&509691205798592532> @nova sierra When will our server be balanced? There is zero progress at the moment, every day more and more inactive players. Which is a true shame, because your game has a lot of potential! Serious bounds were forged in the alliance and across alliances, but atm this is being diminished by a stand still. We anxiously await a big update that will bring a better gameplay, mainly by increasing the chance to refine uncommon 🖖

[nova sierra]

For me personaly, i give them 1 more day. Than i highly recommend every Player in my Alliance + my NAP Partners to 1* Star them for eternity. And if it takes a week more i will just deinstall.

Exactly like around 70% did already

[visual basin]

I one starred them this morning

[nova sierra]

I did also already, but didnt advised it every member per pm

[visual basin]

yeah I haven't said too much about it in alliance or other channels but I did write a review with the one star

[zealous star]

Wow you guys are angry :/ what's the rush

[feral apex]

You 're not on our server I believe? @zealous star

[nova sierra]

Whats the rush? Beta or Global release server ?

[visual basin]

well doing some digging on the Apple App Store: 9 out of the last 20 written reviews are 2-3 stars or less. More than just us thinking the same thing

[feral apex]

Utter boredom at the moment

We need light at the end of the tunnel

[dusty hedge]

Next installment in my support chat. Basically it's fine for bigger players to rape smaller ones continually.

AND "with time and effort"......well, do the calculations, I have. Around 7-9 years or $5-7k of expenditure to be able to get a ship with the capability of doing the missions in my log. Scopely lives in another dimension IMO

[nova sierra]

Aside from sniping myhm @feral apex 😁

[feral apex]

Idd, but even that gets boring 😟

[nova sierra]

@dusty hedge i search for inactive players to raid

kop op @feral apex , continue mijnen heeft toch ook zijn charme 🤔

[dusty hedge]

Problem is the repair costs on ships exceed the resources you raid. Especially at lvl 23. It's kind of a dead zone, where your ships are powerful enough to raid a base but their capacity, at that level, is insufficient to compensate for the repairs...stupid

[nova sierra]

True

[feral apex]

Het begint te wegen ze. Kben genen dwerg da godganse dagen wil mijnen 😂 @nova sierra

[nova sierra]

Ik ook niet, anders noemde ik MagicalDwarf 😂

[feral apex]

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Vanaf nu heet ik u zo! 😛

[nova sierra]

Ge durft nie! 😛

[buoyant rose]

soon enough you can look for my base also. i'm close to quit also

[nova sierra]

Send me a pm @buoyant rose when u do 🤔

[green patio]

@dusty hedge i think they have confused overall power with the strength of a ship, at lvl 23 you are probably (like me) around the 1 million power. Somehow they seem to think therefore we can defeat mission opponents of 1 million ship strength.

I just take as a further insight into how much they know about this game 😟

[vast basin]

Also 1*

[buoyant rose]

@nova sierra as it is in actual game it will help you with nothing. bases are too strong

even if defences are down completly how much can you carry? even if you cary everything what is the production of my miners to get you a good riding party?

[dusty hedge]

@green patio. Yep. Nothing would surprise me......

[naive yoke]

@nova sierra <@&509690795536941056> @potent cipher

Where is the update?

Fix the PvP...

Respect the Star Trek universe...

[remote temple]

@naive yoke

[naive yoke]

@remote temple it would be a nice dream to have a decent Star Trek game... But alas... This is more likely to get pulled from the stores than fixed...

[crude kindle]

Its nice that they have spent so much time fixing PVP... a Fix noone who has played the game actually asked for. The Fix just causes butt hurt.

[supple bluff]

@marble hamlet
Abandon all hope. That way you will not be disappointed when you find out what we who have been playing for months, found out.

Paint a wall and watch the paint dry.

Sow grass seeds and watch the grass grow.

When you have done those two things... Come back where you hit the STALL POINT in this game... Maybe THEN the devs may have fixed the game.

[vagrant creek]

Theres nothing wrong with the pvp though, it makes the game challenging and interesting xD

[maiden kite]

Yeah challenging........like finding millions of tri to repair your ships challenging lmao. None of us will pvp cause we can’t afford to.
