The refinery should be point #1, it's the primary progress blocker for almost everyone. Probably by design to sell packs, but the packs are priced too high with too much junk included to be worthwhile.

@potent cipher What did you guys do to factions??? When I logged in I had an indicator down by the Missions/Dailies that I completed something so I clicked in and got Romulan credits for something, and all the sudden I'm much more negative in Federation and still listed as Neutral in Klingon but receiving threats to leave Klingon territory???

Thanks to this update we lost a few more people..... when will they listen to the actual players.
calm root
They haven't stopped listening, technically speaking
it's the doing something we've only seen inches in the right direction
I guess on the plus side, they didn't nerf anything like crazy sooo silver lining?
and if generator capacity is step 1 in a 10 step plan followed by, increase of generation speed, increase of warehouse capacity, increase of vault protection for people not whales (aka 25 or less), then cool
hopefully we'll hear some positive news like a roadmap or direction cuz servers be bleeding people

They’re always gonna have to placate the whales, or the money stops and the game with it. But if they keep tailoring it more and more in their favor, the ftp players will leave earlier and earlier. They gotta fix the mines, warp glitches, and stop making missions and dailies harder every single update. Ever since I got faction dailies, every update makes the hostile lvl I’m supposed to kill go up 2-3 levels.

@potent cipher The faction credits required for the Saladin is 20,000. Seems like somewhere around 10k would be more reasonable for one of the first faction ships available. That is still two packs just to unlock.

@potent cipher ok you guys do deserve some credit, the latest server maintenance is a good step in the right direction, i see in alliance store resources well done, pulling rss out of station to store and ability to use lat to swap for the 3 main rss. Shows you guys are trying and want to please the masses, although i doubt you will please everybody. I am at least happy. NOTE: we need fresh blood in our server, if you can make that happen even better will give our server a good boost.

@potent cipher why wont you guys fix this problem of much higher level players destroying much lower level bases and ships, especially if they can 1 hit them, everytime i have submitted a screenshot and complaint i get the same old corporate BS your losing alot of early game players because they keep getting destroyed by people much higher. I know that this is just a product to your company and it does have a shelf life but what good is it, if your bleeding all its potential out because you wont balance the pvp

Welcome, everyone, to the new and improved STFC: Farmville In Space!
It seems Scopely only listens to the whiners who play a PVP game but don't want to PVP.
The new rss token system just made base raiding useless, and basic rss gathering only from mining.
Thank you Scopely, and GFY!

Hardly. If they listened to the Farmville dudes they would have made lvl 25 or less life easy
The tokens just further pad the whales, until the cows can generate more mats

Hello scopely, I just got attacked by a player 7 levels higher than myself and lost over 1mil resources I understand that you have increased the ability of high lvl players to attack low lvl players I understand that this is to encourage players to buy more packs and line scopely’s pockets but allowing lvl 26 players to hit lvl 19 players with a ship that is in excess of 100k more powerful than your total ship and base power combined is just immoral and capitalistic at least have the morals and decency to limit the power of the ships that a player can attack with so that it is within a decent range ie instead of allowing a player to hit a base with a ship that has more than 100k power than the attacked base limit it to ships that are within 5-10% of their power, by allowing this type of thing to happen it is just immoral, indecent, capitalistic and just a plain low act scopely should be ashamed of themselves. I know of no less than 5 alliances that have folded from players leaving the game because of this immoral attitude that is approximately 250 players this kind of attitude towards players is only going to cause more players leave and then the profits (which you guys are obviously more interested in than players) will drop as no one will be playing
Very disappointed with your immoral attitude towards players.
Grover321
nova sierra
You are confusing capitalism with exploitation.
Although exploitation is one of the side effects of capitalism, the same goes for any economical system.
The Scopely system is not capitalism, because for capitalism to work, it needs to give the exploited a reason to accept it. This is just exploitation. It should be illegal, but they are keeping it to the limit and are helped by payers.
calm root
@potent cipher next time, could you be more specific how much we'll need in advance?
"In order to participate, you must have at least 5000 Faction Reputation Points in one of the three main Factions"

unkempt needle
@nova sierra whether it's capitalism or exploitation is really a moot point the thing is scopely they still are showing an unfair disregard for the majority of players which is immoral I know of no other MMO that allows such an unfair balance of how much lower level than you it is possible to attack

This is the point that @unkempt needle was making. How do players who mine and/or spend some money to get ahead when the game is so unbalanced, you have live under your shield. It is pathetic and it should be fixed to give players at least half a chance to enjoy and invest in the game. If you did, maybe you would have a more loyal fan base?

nova sierra
@potent cipher The Mayflower doesn't perform as well as the Vahklas in battle despite being less power. Specifically, it is because it's hull health is significantly lower than the Vahklas and therefore with shield piercing tends to see more hull damage than its counter part. Especially when there are good officers on board.
So if you are running an epic kirk/spock crew your shield will be through the roof as it is which means the hull is the weak point and will over enough rounds be weaker than a vahklas of the same class
potent cipher
ty for input will share with ship designers 😉
nova sierra
I should say it doesn't perform better consistently. Just depends on piercing. If hull was the same it'd be a no contest IO
IMO
It could also be that the power stat is misleading. But I can hit more klingon hostiles with Vahklas than Mayflower even though power discrepancy is around 70k
@potent cipher does the support have anyone on staf that is not a complete idiot?
I have just opened a ticket about the warp bug. A bug that shows the ship arive in the system "physicaly", but still at warp, making it incontrolable. This happened twice today when i sent it to a hostile faction system. Due to the bug, the npc revenge ship had time to destroy my ship, each time, costing me rss and time.
The idiots from support keep trying to explain to me the perils of pvp, shield and mining, no matter how much i try to explain to them that this is not the issue.
I EVEN SENT THEM GOD DAMNED PICTURES!

@potent cipher serious question tho. Is there a plan or intent to adjust the balance of the attack ranges in game? I’m all for a free pvp atmosphere, but letting people attack bases when the differential is so great that their one ship outpowers the base it’s attacking 2 or 3 times is just ridiculous. And it’s most of why so many of your players (including myself) are becoming convinced that the dev team is only concerned with crafting a game where they paying players can just play God by stomping over anyone and everyone.
calm root
Yes, they're 'exploring' banding the level ranges
nova sierra
@potent cipher Here again to provide super polite feedback -- 1) Mayflower does not appear to perform well against interceptors relative to other classes. E.g. it does not have an ability that makes it perform better within the combat trial. It simply does N% better against Klingons across the board, but will not do better against independent interceptors. This may be intentional, but is non-obvious. 2) The Mayflower Hull/Armor should be adjusted up and shield down. Right now the shield inflates stats but does not significantly improve how it does in battle because hull/armor do poorly.
I know said that in a long-winded statement elsewhere. Figured Id shorten it up here.

What gets me is getting obliterated by people who don't need your resources, rich people, the 1% keeping the little people down. I have no problem being raided by players, similar level needing my resources but that's not happening. Yeah us at FREE raid the odd base, but we're just scrapping it out. We mine mostly and only hit minors when we really need the cargo. Which is how the game is designed surly. We work so hard as a team as do most alliances but it seems sometimes just to replenish the resources lost to players who don't need it in the first place. Sick really

Can you please bring that back this ability and remove the 5 limit restriction? It is by far the best feature you have introduced and the ONLY way to really protect any purchase I have made. I would also like to see the dil token to be more than 100k, it should be 1M like the others.

Guess long as people keep spending money Exploiting is ok. Especially since the guy knows his base cant be hit and he keeps hitting other people.
I won't be spending any more money until they stop supporting this kind of crap.

@potent cipher the amount of uncommon resources needed for research and construction at level 26+ is insane, are we supposed to shell out 500-1000 eur per level? Just unlocking the horizon will set you back 300 eur or several week of refinery while you cannot upgrade any defense platform or any ship. And this is just an example ... so what it is? Should double down on credit card at an exponentially increasingly rate? because if that’s the case everyone will be leaving very soon. Of course I am not going to digress on the inadequacy of your changes to the base resource production when the upgrades cost 10M steel and you have a storage system that is half of that ... So can we expect a long term sustainable economy anytime soon?
solemn coral
@round shard RAW resources are I think not part of the bounty available on base raids, only par/tri/dilithium
outer steeple
@solemn coral
True para, tri, and dil are the only thing you can lose as a base is raised. However unless you have ways to get millions of each (ie raiding other player bases) you can only protect a out 25% of what you need or less.
So when you have a need for 5M para and you can protect 500k if your lucky by time you can save that much your just a target for others to raid and buy the upgrade you were saving for.
Rinse and repeat
solemn coral
you get plenty of shields with the dailies alone

@potent cipher getting 90 fraction credits per day from dailys if the saladin needs 20k and antaris 15k is just a joke?!
queen ridge
That’ll take you 166 days for the miner
@idle lichen they want you to buy it. Any faction content really can’t be obtained free
At minimum, they want you to spend 200-400$/month on the game
solemn coral
which is not required
I've spend a total of €22, ok, I might not rise as fast as the p2w players, but I can live with that
if you are a competitive player, having the urge to showoff by trying to 'rule' the charts, well, yeah, start saving money
copper girder
@solemn coral except the progress slows down to a crawl once you hit the upper 20s because of the disproportionate amount of stuff you need to do anything
solemn coral
sure, demands rise exponential
the extra challenge in such games as this simply is. how much patience you got before you start spending money
I've heard about players who spend sums on this game I'd never be willing to
some hundreds, others thousands
I'd rather spend such sums on real stuff instead of in some virtual game where it represents no true value, and which may be nerved whenever they wish too
idle lichen
@queen ridge maybe that game would worth spending a few 100 per month if all would work but it just feels like a beta test..... also buggy eventchest some player get 10k fraction credits and all other got nothing they dont care about the players just spending......
copper girder
@solemn coral same can be said about any non material goods with no residual value, cinema, a meal at a restaurant, entertainment of any sort... why is this any different? My that is not my point. Past lvl 30 you have to be a millionaire to progress ...

BUT
Nothing to do with my point
If you make it impossible to progress even paying players will get bored and leave
It’s a cash grab rush and then everyone quits in 4 months
Because whatever max amount you want to spend per month, 0 or thousands you hit a wall after 2-3 months that makes progression beyond your reach
empty shell
@potent cipher @nova sierra Faction credits income is too low imo. Thing is even if players grind 500 k or 1 M for ship , that ship is locked behind huge pay wall.... There is no viable option for farming faction credits except daily mission and amounts there are way to small considering that we need to upgrade officers and buy ship blueprints . I understand that you need to make money , but ratio between making money and leting players to earn something by grinding isn't good. Even if you double daily income of faction credits it would still be low.
I did all faction missions that I could , rest are locked behind high warps ... so again I hit huge paywalls... That just dosen't seem good. Certainly feels like shit on this end...

Plz merge server. Our server is dying out here. And player spent a lot of money in this game. Do not abondon us.
sacred swift
While I have spent very few funds in game($30 and $20 was for partial jelly pack which was a joke), the various issues with the game and subsequent poor in-game support is making it very frustrating. Miner bonuses were supposed to be fixed but times are still skewed. P2W whales always take advantage of server maintenance when servers come back online earlier than the advertised down time by draining bases and hitting miners. I haven't been able to progress with the combat veteran missions for over a month with nothing from in-game support except that it is "being worked on" and "we can't provide details due to privacy policy" which honestly sounds like a cop out on responsibility. The imbalance between P2W and F2P is too huge. The attack range makes it impossible for me to PvP without risk of being completely destroyed by lvl 26+ players that have already acquired and fully upgraded D3 class. Now it is possible that players in top range can destroy all three ships and base with one hit. Are any of these issues going to be addressed and fixed? Is this what others believe it to be, simply a cash grab reskin of other scopely games meant to cash in on Star Trek fans? I'm seriously asking since it really only appears that if one can spend hundreds a month on this game can they possibly have fun.
sacred swift
Also, is anything being done to deal with the players that buy thousands of dollars worth of packs then use ways to get refunds on those purchases but still keep all the upgrades and items that they have acquired? We have seen players boasting about doing that. That's very insulting to the F2P players as well as your low purchase players. @potent cipher I know you are very busy here and don't necessarily expect a reply, but I would greatly appreciate one. A DM is also sufficient if you wish to not publicly outline any details regarding the matters I have brought to attention. Thank you.
potent cipher
no shame in publicly state that abusive refunds are against our ToS, and players identified are passible of punitive actions against their game account.

I am a level 31 player. My refinery has only ever made 4 rare drops over the last two weeks for a total of 7 rare G3 resources. I have refined a minimum of 180 batches in that time, which gives at least 200 batches to refine of a single type to get the 8 rare I need to upgrade one ship module (a level 20 ship). That’s probably 50 days per ship module. Buildings also require rare resources at my level, and I’m wondering how many years it would take me to level up without buying packs. You don’t even give any refinery details to know what the effect of levelling up would be
potent cipher

The way the game is progressing it’s either you pay thousands of dollars or don’t play at all @potent cipher , it’s sad but true, the P2p players ride over everyone else and bully everyone, in the end y’all are going to loose 90% of your players as they won’t be able to spend a thousand dollars on a game. I understand the devs have to make money but you have understand that not many players have piles of cash lying around to throw at a game. Most players will spend about 20-50$ a month, maybe a little more if the game is less glitchy.
Already over the past month a lot of players have stopped because of the steep P2p curve, even going from 19-20ops u need 100$ or spend a month or two refining to try and get 300 uncommon of each g2 mat

@potent cipher ,good job managing the infinite chest reward glitch. You proactively took back illigitimate gained credits and disabled the bp faction purchases.

I feel more for creating something that also connects to the game itself for some data
like autoupdating the galaxy db
having a connect to all servers, indexing resources on value as well, thus being able to identify the broken mines, npc's etc
unreal tinsel
@potent cipher When are you going to open our server for new players?
quick field
@solemn coral if I can find a way to access that data, I'd be happy to.
solemn coral
well, the galaxy db should be no biggie, once you constructed a client that is able to connect and read the json data
but in order to meet the requirements to get all the data, the 'bot' must play in order to get the capability to 'visit/unlock' planets to view, once visited, all you need is a call to the stuff that allows you to 'view system'
that data should return all objects in that system, so you can determine the presence of planets that may spawn planetary missions, get a list of npc classes in there, resource objects etc
while the bot 'plays' it can gather information about the (planetary) missions as well, resource costs etc
btw, costs are depending on the research levels as well
the hive collected a lot of that data already
ripe stirrup
@solemn coral good luck with that but 'connecting to the game' would be against TOU I'm sure
solemn coral
sure it would, unless you ask for permission and get it
and you could still work on it and present it as proof of concept
not releasing the code to the public masses
did it before on a lot of games, and always had decent communication about it with the devs
my code was even less stressy for the server then most bots who simply hammer the server with requests
it's a matter of decent communication between the one who creates the game, and the one who callenges it
in a non-destructive way off course
quick field
It's just a matter of getting the json data really.
solemn coral
well, just need to disassemble the apk for that 😛
and create a client that is capable of authing with either apple or google for the social auth etc
that 'bot' can also be used to identify a lot of issues
like invalid replies etc
and in the end actually HELP the gamedevs

Respectfully I find the northstar extremely versatile and a worthwhile addition to the fleet. Yes, the cargo limitation is inconvenient but it's been my workhorse in the game. No person is an island, likewise no ship should be either. Simply pair it with an envoy partner-ship (ha!). 😃

@calm root That may be so, but economically, there's far more over-cap 50K envoys that are much more juicier targets by comparison.
queen ridge
@calm root not really. Most of the new ships can’t go as far as the ns yet and the ns mines so fast I can keep an eye on it
A t5 faction event ship is only about warp 30-33. The ns maxed is 40.
I often go to sleep and wake up with my NS sitting with 13k cargo. I’m sure that will change once people get their ships over 400 K LOL
All miners are t9 except my t5 horizon. The NS is easily double a t5 horizon, and triple speed of an envoy, and my ns isn’t even fully buffed with health based officers

Only good use I've seen of NS if you're not a whale is battering ram.

Please, no more new content until you fix the major existing bugs. The mining node that don't really exist, the timer issues, the getting stuck in warp (or any other state), the constnatn need to restart the client at least a dozen times a day (no exaggeration). We can live with the content we have for a few weeks while you stabilize the game,

We who? While I do agree fixes and updates to current stuff would be nice, they likely have devs working on each aspect (new stuff, testing stuff/QA, fixing stuff)
languid bison
@calm root you may be right, but @carmine nimbus is probably just asking for it to take priority, if they cannot be done simultaneously. Considering we have had more new content than major bug fixes, I can understand his desire.

The game is so freaking glitchy I can’t tell if the now “missing” Ultra Recruit Drop Rates is a big or an intentional change in how the game works. Can you guys at least be competent enough to properly identify intentional changes and bugs and respond to in game bug reports with more than typical generic “looking into it.” I’m “looking into” whether I should ever spend money on this game. I’ll decide when you’ve finished looking into the many many many bug reports I’ve sent in....
Is this button missing because of a glitch or because the Ultra Recruit chest now works like the refinery and will produce variable results based on what you don’t want us to have without paying? Can you at least clarify that much?

huh i don't have it too, i guss that means the crit chance is gone noe

They should have warned us if they were going to drastically devalue the Ultra Recruit Tokens like that...
But both info buttons were missing once in the past and they both came back... so let’s play is it a glitch or a “feature” so idiotic only Scopely would add it mid game?

I doubt it is intentional bc iOS forces you to state rates.

No it doesn’t... what’s the refinery rate? Oh it doesn’t say....
That may be app story policy, but it’s clearly not enforced....
If that is iOS policy we should all report them to Apple for violating AppStore policy.

as you get plenty in missions, chests etc
and everytime you upgrade refinery, you also get a load of raw unrefined resources
just don't waste them doing more then 1 pack, coz 2 packs already need 5 times the amount

@narrow sequoia I am unable to confirm your bug on latest ios client, every recruit class is showing those drop rates for me
@narrow sequoia if you haven't updated the client yet within the last 24 hours, please do, and check again
@narrow sequoia restarting the client in order to get fresh gamestate data might also fix it
but update first

@potent cipher Admirals need more management tools. We need activity trackers (to see who is inactive or not), we need diplomacy options (where we can assign Allies different colors on the map). Also I would like to see some historical data on Alliances on monthly/weekly Alliance events won. Maybe even monthly trophies to Alliances’ profile for Alliance Events won. We also need In game mail for Alliances.
Please add a Global Top 10 Alliance power rankings. That would be awesome.
@nova sierra
Where are the Armadas? My players need more PvP content.. they are getting bored.
Update pls

I find this game very unfair and very expensive because you get 20 (0,04%) uncommon refined crystals every 50k of raw crystal ! 😡
solemn coral
hmmm, I only refine one pack every 10 hours, and actually get some once in a time
wasting 50k on 3 chests is, well, waste
I think on long terms, you get more uc then this method
exotic pawn
@solemn coral The refinement of crystals and others are each 3k, 15k or 50k of raw crystal, and takes a lot for the next refinement. It's very unfair (unbalanced) !
solemn coral
I currently see no reason to complain about it, maybe it takes a few levels (17 now)
I even got enough 3* to upgrade my northstar, I just lack the comparible huge sums of trilithium to do so
note, I cannot refine 3* as level 17
exotic pawn

can't complete your mission coz of the no npc available? you got plenty of other missions to fulfill

@nova sierra when you go from hostile to enemy, what happens in enemy space?

In border mining systems they attack where they previously did not. I also think the ships are a meaner in higher level systems. But it is hard to pinpoint.
If I drop in a lvl 38 system I'll see 2-4m ships

But then again, I'm here to get a problem solves
potent cipher
basically, we are indeed looking at server consolidation (merge / transfer) while this is very early in the drawing board. To balance your observation, and with the metrics in mind, we do not see any server as "dying" but we remain attentive with the related player feedback provided
I for myself supposedly playing on one of those "dying" server, and I think the activity levels are just fine.
nova sierra
We do not get new playes
potent cipher
as a player surfaced to you, we're also cautious about maintaining a balance in terms of player load from server to server
as it needs a god ratio of available mines, raids, and so forth.
when i'll have more info on this front, ''ll be sure to let you know
nova sierra
We have seen others servers, is nothing like ours
potent cipher
hope that is now satisfactory context I have provided you with
nova sierra
Sorry, but as much as you are putting lot of effort I it, your company is not
I do not said "dying"
But we do are struggling
Other servers are thriving, making competitive
Just yesterday, two player worth something like a thousand bucks quited

@potent cipher I have sensed a lot of people are reaching a plateau where they stall because they need 70 3* ore or something to improve their ships for example. When this happens they not as active and are basically giving up on the game while they may not delete the game. So it’s a case of getting bored with the game. Just IMHO
carmine jay
Yes, refining is THE major problem for paying players. I.e their target audience. My guess is that scopely are holding out as long as possible till increasing rates. So if you want refining to improve, stop spending.
solemn coral
should be in here, they even check if the device is rooted, at least I found hooks for that in the unity engine

@solemn coral Thanks for replying! I downloaded the app update yesterday, cleared the localization, and the drop rates were still missing. However, they actually are back this morning!

I just want Scopley to release the single rare crystal required to tier up the Northstar. Bought the pack to get it and have been refining ever since. Not a single solitary rare since the main event. We won’t even get into the serious shortage of uncommon refined. It’s been what? A month since the event and even hitting every single refine time slot on time not a single rare and less than 100 uncommon

I’m not even going to address this latest event set for the factions.

I believe what they did is they shifted the power primarily to T4-T7
But didn't want to increase overall power
So they just nerfed it up top but kept costs the same
After tier and leveling it probably gets to 420k?
Maybe a bit more
daring hornet
How is it that I can get a 4 hour chest with all of 100 officer XP, but a 10-minute chest with Latinum, a repair speedup, and trit? To me, the 4H chests should look like the 10-minute chest every time, and the 10-minute chest should be something more along the lines of what I routinely get out of 4-hour chests.
the 4 hour chests should ahve a "better" loot pool, as at most they can be collected 6 times a day. 10 minute chests? 6 times an hour. While I appreciate getting latinum several times an hour, seems very illogical to have that happen and then get crap from a 4 hour chest
nova sierra
Seems like the three types have a weighed return rate from different "quality levels"
daring hornet
yeah, I've noticed more and more that my 10-minute chests have a much better "return rate" than my 4 hour chests. even collecting just a couple an hour yields far better than one every 4, which to me shouldn't be the case. again, not that I mind, but still should have more of a "reward" for that 4 hour chest IMHO

Evil 🐋 Bastards
queen ridge
The mayflower is just garbage. It’s hull is so small. After a couple of fights , it needs repair. A huge shield is useless with a tiny hull @potent cipher
@reef galleon try hitting miners in a lower lvl system?
@potent cipher either that or shield deflection is broken
covert sonnet
Shield deflection only applies for damage mitigation, the same way evasion and armor also applies to damage mitigation.
nova sierra
Yes, which is why it wasn't developed thoughtfully
Less shield, more deflection, more armor
covert sonnet
Game isn't complex enough to add in different ratios of shield damage taken vs hull damage taken
queen ridge
There’s still something wrong with that ship. At 250k, if I attack 165k hostiles, my hull is gone in 5 attacks. Yet my vahklas at the same power can kill 2-3 times as many
pseudo dagger
That's why I went Klingon faction. Up

@@pseudo dagger the faction daily of warrior and champion climbs with you reputation. I take it you are friendly with the federation? I too have this lvl of missions and still have yet to do one lol but lvl 23 should help with the opening of foundry science station and all that :D
queen ridge
@potent cipher you all need to examine lv 36+ systems. Most have no asteroids at all, and the ones that do have very few. Also most high lvl systems won’t accept bases
Example : Peliar Zel. Fed space. Lvl 38. ONE.. just one asteroid
And most of them have no g3 asteroids
Tellar is a bright yellow star (mission hub) yet it has no missions
rough dagger
Please alter faction daily kills to be more player level gated as well as faction level gated. It's impossible to kill 25 level 27 npc at level 20. If it were properly player level gated, I'd be getting 10 level 22s and 25 level 23s

That level of faction is really only meant for level 25s

Spock isn’t that good anywAy. at most he restores 3200 shield hp which really is not much at all

Kirk, Spock, Bones - 750% Spock is way more than. 3.2k id wager.
Or are you saying there is a hard cap?
nova sierra
seen a vahklas fininsh a battle with 2m shields, an enterprise finish with 4 or 5mil
queen ridge
If Spock restores 100% of the defense of officers on the ship, and yours totals 3200. A 3200 point heal is garbage @carmine jay
In my case it’s a 2454 heal. Garbage imo
nova sierra
but if kirk increases stats by 80% and bones adds 25% to defence everytime the ship is hit, after a few rounds the numbers add up significantly
queen ridge
2PhilLucPicard#7940 those reset each round. Not cumulative
carmine jay
Max Spock is 750%. Do the math or
queen ridge
At 750% yes it’d be worth it
carmine jay
Thank you
queen ridge
But at 100 and below. Yuk. Garbage imo.
And I’m not maxing Spock anytime soon. The game wants 4K tokens to promote him. That’s absurd
carmine jay
It will likely be the single biggest boost to anything in the game right now but yes. Agree costs are absurd
@nova sierra it’s 100% to 400%, right ?

yup

killed a boss with brel, not ,much difference, switching to intrepid now

I've been experiencing a very annoying bug lately. When attacking a base my ship gets stuck in limbo, and they only way to get it unstuck is to open a support ticket. This has happened 4 times in the last 4 days, and I've lost 20ish hours of game play. This prevented me from completing an event which cost me 2 blueprints and a significant (in this game) amount of uncommon g3 materials. Support refuses to offer any compensation and treat the matter as if it's expected and I should get over it. That said... Does anyone know why this happens? And is there anything I can do differently to prevent it?

Hey look, this is an English discord ( I think ) but my point is that clearly only those who understand it can read it and therefore your post was unnecessary.
Sounds like you are educated well enough so I guess you are just a xenophobe.
That’s cool, your choice.

Im on his server and his saying was the whole server is outrageous. The russians on my server are pretty toxic and only using russian language even in pm after an attack. Google translator is probably more kind in his translation as it would be if i could understand it. Anyway yeah.

You are looking at the wrong spot
inner plaza
damnit
nova sierra
I think I found a bug in Nero. Note, one that is hugely beneficial to players but shouldn't work. I believe his captain maneuver works even when he isn't at the helm.
So, for context:
- I placed Nero on the bridge with Spock/Kirk
- Nero's burning can be triggered but his captain maneuver should be unavailable
- I tested against Klingon commanders around 10 times
- I put Uhura back on bridge and Nero in the non-primary officer slot.
- Tested again
I wanted to verify officer bonus wasn't coming into play
See the following screenshots
With Nero on bridge
here reposting

i saw that but didnt see any ss of the fight

Well that is the log
Which provides better detail
9 less rounds
I also tested on legitimate hostiles with higher damage output
and found I went 1-2 rounds less because of increased damage

(Saw your comment about you reading through the logs n stuff)

you just did though 😉
the latest client slightly amended the chest behavior, now officers shards "stack" in the chest summary screen
having said that, i believe i uncovered a new issue where not all individual shards appear in that summary screen
we're working on this one as we speak, did some tests earlier

Could each chest just show that chests earned shards? Seeing the same dudes over and over again kind of kills the dopamine buzz
(E.g. 5 chest, see 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, but really only 3 3 3 3 3 with each time seeing the last 3s)
Also there's a new bug where it'll show you the rewards of the next chest for a split second so it spoils what you're gonna get

Sadly that won't happen as most playing players dont give a damn
As the possibilities of the game are more and more dependent on the money, we want to encourage all players to break the cash flow of the game for 30 days and get the game developers to allow normal drop rates and normal prices.
Since this shows the best cross-server effect, we would like to join so many allis and servers.
A start would be planned for 01.04.2019.
Try to get as many players and alliances on board. A feedback here in the post would be great.
This call is also posted in the Global Fanpage !!!

@potent cipher can these positive faction points be more precise after 1M?
I mean I am not against taking the picture, measure the progress pixels, and then measuring the green amount.
and transposing.
But, but..
It'd be nice
potent cipher
i receive this input as valid and logical. but the inner fighter in me wants to challenge it, by providing this context: on the higher ranks, values are in the thousands, and the "long tail digits" won't matter as much say as per when you are 448/500 to unlock the tier 1
but, i'll certainly pass it on!
nova sierra
Well, even 1.1M
would suffice
i think the problem would be more pronounced at the 9mil mark
do i need 999k or 1k? 🤔
potent cipher
got it @nova sierra 😉
nova sierra
This is my current approach
@nova sierra i got a physical ruler and held it up to my monitor 🙈
