That’s where we disagree @nova sierra , the devs are a soft target for what is clearly poor business culture.
nova sierra
@vagrant cosmos I've been coding since the 80s. I dont care how tight my budget has been - no excuse for crap code
vagrant cosmos
Just don’t think there is enough of them and/or they need to bring in some good tech leadership (which can be pricey).
So have I @nova sierra 😉
nova sierra
I blame the suits for crap leadership, crap budgeting, but I blame the devs for sloppy code. I do blame the suite for not letting them FIX the bugs though
solemn coral
whats your favourite poison to code in ?
nova sierra
I mean this code is SLOPPY. Id have fired devs on my team if they had written this tripe lol
solemn coral
I mean, you said 80, so it can't be COBOL
hides
the oldest language I know to have coded in is Z80 asm
vagrant cosmos
Seen great dev teams just driven into the ground by their superiors. I guarantee you if investor satisfaction was as vocally low as player satisfaction, there would be a swifter response.
Perhaps the problem is there isn’t that type of leadership in there @nova sierra . Bunch of outsources and talented greenhorns can’t fix a bad business culture (rolling out prematurely, arbitrary pressure, no credit for taking initiative on code quality). Seen it (and been hired to fix it) in teams a few times.
nova sierra
no I only learned cobol and fortran 77 because it was required back then. And those were mainly business and science coding languages. I was Obj C, C, C++ all the way most of my life.. and coded in ARev back in the day. also PCL, pearl, and a bit of Delphi
vagrant cosmos
Perl shivers done plenty of that in my time. Glad I haven’t for 20yrs tho 😂
solemn coral
Pearl or Perl ?
vagrant cosmos
I meant perl- autocorrected
nova sierra
LOL sorry Perl. I'm using speach to text.
vagrant cosmos
Lol
solemn coral
impaired or lazy ? 😛
vagrant cosmos
That could get awkward for you @solemn coral depending on the answer 😬
solemn coral
uhm no, if impaired, my excuses
nova sierra
Lazy and shaky hands. I just finished my last round of chemo a few weeks ago. So it still has me a bit shakey

Hope scopely are listening to us old dogs. Maybe they could put together a package with an esop so we can go lend a hand 😉

@nova sierra cpc464 was c64's biggest competitor 😛

hostile ratios should be higher for the level of system. For example, I'm in a 23 zone but there's 20 lvl 22, one 24, and one 23. The respawn should pump out more of the sector level and stop the other ones spawning until the sector ratio is balanced. Either that or the lower or higher level ships would leave the sector and be replaced by the system level ship
This should either show all three types or show the faction you have the most rep in
nova sierra
Get the spies off that can access other alliences mbrs and locations so the can hit there bases and rob them

lock your recruitment
nova sierra
My recruitment is locked
Am I supposed never recruit another member again
The game knows that people are abusing something that is stealing real life money from people it would speaks volumes of what type of company would allow that
Same deal that had members that were committing fraud also attacked while shield for us
Has been undermining my guild from the very first day

Can we have a store that alows us to trade ship blue prints for rss or other blueprints. And to trade in rss for other types of rss that are harder to get. For instance 3star gass for tritanium

Took about 5 days to get 3 star uncommon ore......
crude pike
When will you guys start being honest and transparent about all the known issues? FAQ lists 2... that’s just totally dishonest. No one expects a perfect game but transparency would go a long way of gaining trust back.
Here is one. Crew boosts that don’t work. Mining crews don’t work but harder to prove. This is blatant and CS gave me run around acting like they never heard of it 🙄
valid tulip
Have you checked how much you actually get on the ship? The same happens for resources loot officers, it's not shown, but you do get an increased amount of rss
crude pike
Yea many of the crew boosts don’t work especially the mining crews but this is just easiest to prove. Support just acted like they had no idea and wanted screen shots so thought would post here too - but yea been busted forever. Have no fear they will get right on it though 🤣
nova sierra
I’m curious... what’s the point of setting daily mission goals (especially faction hostiles) so high that it’s not even conceivably possible to complete them? I’m supposed to be killing lvl 27 hostiles, and my fully-tiered and researched ships barely even dent lvl 23s. @delicate sentinel @potent cipher
lilac saffron
It just means your faction rep is higher than they expected you to be lol i was barely able to do lvl26 before they swtiched over to lvl 28 due to my high rep. Just focus on the mining, its what i do :D
nova sierra
It’s all I bloody can do... mining and pve hunting.
Assuming I can even mine, that is... my envoy is fully tiered at lvl 19, but it might as well be a tier 1 fortunate with all the souped-up northstars and jackholes who bought their way to 26 during the faction event...
nova sierra
@lilac saffron so basically it’s yet another way to inhibit or discourage game progress unless you’re willing to basically sign over your paycheck...
bright niche
I'm curious how other servers are dealing with a situation where the top 100 players have amalgamated into one or two Alliances and are essentially bullying the rest of the server with their antics?
ivory ember
Ok, I am tired of the “you have to get 60k dialithium to build/upgrade but you can only store 18k” issue.. Sure, generators can get capped and full and stop processing. BUT, once manually collected cant the extra material be placed in the same place the material is placed when gathering from reds or pvp sources? If a generator is full it should need to be collected manually BUT continue to process, while the overstack is placed among the other resource stacks.
maiden summit
I didn’t get my rewards for the recent alliance event
keen plinth
Rounding error perhaps? Not significant enough to report as a bug, I don't think. There already exists a similar report when using instant repair anyways.
@maiden summit What place did your alliance rank in the event? If it was below 25, you didn't make the cut.
maiden summit
We placed 3rd

solemn coral
@keen plinth I already added your previous one which surely has no rounding error to the ticket
keen plinth
Even a level 7 player had to complete the top tier just to get 1 trophy.
solemn coral
@keen plinth where you reported it with 73k required vs 73.5k having
showing your station with the nice error in the background that it ain't enough
keen plinth
yeah, I know. That is why I didn't duplicate this in Bug-reporting. I just thought it funny that the text color was still red in this case.
That wasn't the case in the older photo.
solemn coral
must say, you got lots of issues to report 😛
keen plinth
I just pay more attention to detail I guess, or I let things bother me more than most.
solemn coral
yeah, and you think through
even with the idea's you post
like the vacation idea, but not the way you presented it with having a separate system etc, way too complex
so I made https://stfc.key2peace.org/view.php?id=152 out of it
keen plinth
The idea was to get players to leave systems that were always full if they weren't going to be active for a while.
solemn coral
we just need to get rid of perm inactives
ppl that ragequitted or lost interest
I mean, they don't even provide a method to delete your account yet either
keen plinth
Re: "Player would be unable to access his account during specified time period" I think if a player attempted to log in during a vacation period, they should be presented with a notice that doing so will end their vacation status and give them a chance to exit or continue.
That way they don't need to bug tech support for returning.
solemn coral
will modify
keen plinth
If the option to set vacation were in settings, they wouldn't need to call in for that either.
You don't want hundreds of people calling in just for vacations around spring break or winter break.
solemn coral
yes, for starters, but we suggested so many options already, the settings page would become a game on it's own 😛
and it might be something for support to deal with in order to monitor it's not getting abused
otherwise users will abuse it for free shields etc
keen plinth
There is another request ticket in to add a GUI item on the screen that gives you instant access to shield options at any time. You can add vacation mode to that control as it is being implemented.
Put a 4 week cool-down on it.
keen plinth
We're trying to get away from having to go through 2 screen loads to set a shield though, especially while your base is under attack.
solemn coral
I mean the vacation shield
keen plinth
Still, probably with a 4 week cool down to prevent abuse, or let it be a token you get one of and as long as you haven't used one in the past 4 weeks and you don't have any, then you can get another one through the daily rewards chest with a high percentage chance or something.
solemn coral
ppl go on vacation every 2 months ?
keen plinth
But these might need a set duration, like 30 days.
solemn coral
rich kids who can, can afford satlinks 😛
keen plinth
I would imagine that people going on vacation might have more time to play, and they would really use the time to focus on out of game issues like work projects, school, or just giving the game a break when they get tired of keeping on top of it all the time.
nova sierra
Finally lvl 50!
keen plinth
I used a 3 day shield once to give myself time to reconsider how I was going to continue. Got tired of being a target trying to keep my base shielded when I was offline. 8 hour shields are barely too little as we're supposed to get 8 hours of sleep at night and don't want to be worrying about getting up in time to get back in the game while still tending to morning stuff like hygiene and feeding the family. Ten hours would make more sense, and the 12 hour in the alliance store can be upgraded to 18 hours.
keen plinth
Thanks.
covert sonnet
@delicate sentinel Where's income for resources in this game? (Parsteel, Tritanium, Dilithium) Killing other people for resources is not a positive sum game and mining/killing hostiles gives far too few resources at level 24+
Either raise the base amount of resources given by higher level hostiles or give good research under the galaxy tab that boosts the resources given by hostiles
keen plinth
Hunt with the right crew and you can boost that reward after the kill.
@delicate sentinel When they get the crew/ship ability fix pushed in the update (US still waiting), will we still have that bug where we can hit a player juicy on a mine and take more resources than they had unprotected with the appropriate captain for the resource (Vel K'Bentayr, Shev, Gaila) or will that be fixed as well? I'm not sure if we actually took that extra resource from them or if it was created out of nothing for having the crew member.

I have been killed more and more frequently lately without geting any combat reports about the fight. It makes it hard to check how much I have mined and who killed me. Is it a bug or something?

Bring back the ability to create tokens.

better make bank available
@nova sierra are you able to construct bank/market etc now you reached 50 ?
short forge
Better, but yes, available before 50 lol. I don’t want to take out a 2nd mortgage on my house to build a bank in a silly game. And at the rate of rss exchange, that is what it would take to get there. Otherwise, maintaining the resources to get to build a bank would be very difficult. Thus, the whole point of tokens.

I'm wondering what the use is of Defense Platform D. I built it as a lvl26. But to further upgrade it, I need to be lvl28 AND have Drydock D. It seems quite pointless.
Either move it to lvl28 as well, or make the upgrades separate from Drydock D, or move drydock D to lvl 26
scenic garnet
I’ve heard many players quit at level 26/28 I can understand why now. I’ve been 26 for a few weeks as the costs for 3* uncommon ore is ridiculously high in relation to refining and event and packs. For example I’ve only research buildings requiring ore . Buildings need 189 . 120 off that for opps 27 . Research needs 300 and 3 mods of kumari needs 770!!!! So in total 1259. Being generous on refining rate at 6 per day that’s 209 days minimum. Or £1188 with packs. It’s just ridiculously costly. I know you don’t have to decide to do all research etc but if staying at 26 you at least want to develop ship ability but 3 mods to tier up 770 geez be real
calm root
Yeah the pay wall really hits ya at 25 and up. Not much point in trying above that unless they rebalance and boost generation ability in all areas
frank rover
Hi Everyone. Just joined this discord channel.
I mentioned it to my alliance discord that its very VERY frustrating that near enough everything that needs building and researching requires vast amounts of Dilithium and Uncommon Gas and yet those two materials are the hardest to mine, raid, and refine.
I haven't been able to build or research for nearly 2 weeks now and I refuse to pay out for the resources just because I can't play for it.
It also frustrates me that we can only use Latinum to trade in for resources and not other resources.
hidden hollow
Yes like a Latinum shop to buy stuff and the hostiles can drop lat in small amounts
vapid dragon
Way to only give an hour or two notice... what if all the others that didn’t have time to put on a longer duration shield only to come online and find they can’t get in to refresh shields and then get raided when the system comes online?
Please refrain from such short notices in the future and give at least 24 hour advance warning of upcoming downtime. And stick to it. You folks need to have a release tested feature for feature on a test server, merge all the changes into an integration build server and tested, and then a couple of rehearsals on a parallel production server before the release. From the pattern of failed releases, it looks like you’ve been having developers test and certify their work instead of separate testing teams.
Any thoughts on having volunteer players as testers?

Aren't we all volunteers?

During the live chat your devs mentioned that they were looking into the mayflower because of complaints about it being nerfed. Any update on that. I am willing to spend money to upgrade it, but not until it is fixed.
hasty plover
@delicate sentinel Please fix the G3 uncommon and rare refining rates. When you spend and work long and hard to upgrade the refinery it must be better than G2 rates. The biggest problem is the MASSIVE resource requirements to upgrade Tier 3 or Faction Ships and the abysmal output of the refinery.
hasty plover
@sage shuttle No idea who that is, but I want on his server. I have a 1226 uncommon g3 crystal requirement to upgrade impulse engines and I get 3 uncommon, maybe after3 or four refines... It'll be a quite a while for an upgrade or there are these ridiculously expensive packs which still have a ton of useless g2 crap in them which we can't use or trade in. And can't use latinum even though latinum is for rare items. Gettin the ol Scopelyashi Maru over here. 😃

@delicate sentinel iOS now halts on one of the loading screens. You have no where to go but force close the application and relaunch. I’ve waited 5 minutes in loading screen to see if it would ever come back.

You too could see all of these issues within 5 minutes of testing the new application.

Getting uncommon rss is a bunch of bull. You have it so we have to buy it to get anywhere. I’m lucky to get 10 a day refining. Making the game all about mining and refining is bull. These $99 packs are bull. Before long the only people playing will be wallet warriors and the only reason they will keep at it is because they have spent hundreds and feel obligated to keep playing. Even that will get old too. As much as you are making you would think this game wouldn’t be so glitchy.

@delicate sentinel on Iphone I have noticed that switching between screens 95% of the time there is a brief pause and the spinning wheel appears. Occasionally it freezes completely in between screens. Then I have to force close and reopen the game. It also seems like there is a major delay between my inputs and the server randomly. It says my ship is not in the same system when trying to attack another ship when it actually is. I also had to leave the screen of systems and reenter multiple times to get hostiles to populate last night when doing my dailies. Even keyboard inputs were so laggy that I could type a whole word and then the letters would not appear in chat for a couple seconds. I hope some of this info is helpful

The game is so slow and I love the blue circle of death and the choppy graphics...I give up

DONT download the IOS update, it’s terrible. Very slow, crashes and you’ll see the ring of death every time you press a button
modern needle
I don’t understand how you can be so ass backwards as a game developer, I’ve played online games since it became a thing..beta tested many games...and this tops them all as being the most frustrating pos yet
I wish someone decent would buy the company and put it out of its misery...customer service is a scripted useless pos, they should be bending over backwards to keep us happy
Man I wish I could just get a refund period.

Idea: maybe add service incident SOP so, like in the IOS example, an official post would be made so everyone would know you're aware and looking into it.
Or even a public status page that shows any major incidents and updates.

@delicate sentinel IOS user here. 1. I'm seeing lag every time I select something. The loading circle comes up. Usually it's only a fraction of a second, but it throws off the flow of the game. Sometimes it takes a bit longer. Sometimes it doesn't go away. It seems the longer the app is open, the worse it gets. 2. I'm also seeing a lot of stuttering that isn't associated with any loading. This also gets worse the longer the app remains open. 3. I'm also seeing mines that appear unoccupied but actually have a player there when I select them. 4. Half my faction dailies have disappeared, those that remain jumped in difficulty by about two faction levels. 5. My chest icon gets disabled occasionally and the rewards tab disappears so I have to restart the app to claim chests. 6. Mining nodes are STILL broken. 7. Settings button on profile page sometimes switches to "chat" allowing me to chat with myself but not access settings.
Oh, and forgot the game will eventually crash if I manage to go long enough without restarting.
vernal swan
@delicate sentinel I echo Drownedrat’s summary. Pre iOS update there was no lag and the game did not stutter when managing ship actions within a system. Would rather have the update rolled back then endure the degraded condition. The loading icon is an unnecessary graphic consuming and cacheing unnecessary memory. It seems as if the loading graphics are contributing to the latency. Pre update there was little to no graphic latency, stuttering, or loading lag.
tough beacon
iOS patch caused allot of issues . Screen transition takes 3 times as long. Overall lag has increased. The dailies have allot of glitches form spontaneously awarding and also not awarding correctly. Ship repair times are behaving like all the R and D research is not working anymore. Example my Kumari used to be 2.5 hours ... now it is 3.75 hours.

@delicate sentinel no need for me to repeat everything already said here other than everyone I chat and play with are done !!

@delicate sentinel do you know if there are any plans to increase the mining rates and or drop amounts of resources anytime soon. Particularly tritanium our server is pretty much completely empty of trit if your base has 100k and you aren’t shielded it will be raided.

@delicate sentinel I couldn't screenshot it, But using Iphone 8+ on latest edition of IOS, it completely froze my phone and I had to do a Hard reboot of my system (while shield was down, luckily I wasn't hit this time) This has happened twice. I reinstalled the game and it happened. I have plenty of free space. It hadn't happened before the update that was pushed through yesterday. I was noticing that game was getting more and more "clunky" and less responsive and then boom it froze. Battery power was greater than 50% at all times.

Is it possible, or will it be possible to start over? (Without changing servers) to just erase all saved player data, and begin again? I don't understand why this isn't a feature in mobile games.
distant ivy
@delicate sentinel the fact that scopely releases a update before moderators end their day is really poor judgement on the long list of issues these developers have. They really need to release updates early morning so we aren’t stuck a entire night and so far a entire day barely able to do anything ingame
It feels like any money we put into the game isn’t used to improve game but instead is used for them to buy new fun toys for themselves and leave us dealing with issue after issue
delicate sentinel
@distant ivy You're absolutely right and the team will be fixing this from the next maintenance onwards
distant ivy
@delicate sentinel so we are stuck with lockup’s, lag, and forced restart constantly for the rest of the day until maintence?

@distant ivy : I would be happy if it is just for the rest of the day.

Maintenance is for the mining patch yeah? Not to fix this client update nonsense
distant ivy
@keen anchor I am just surprised I guess. I am pretty much on 24/7 but it gives me migraines with the lag and spinning disk of death. We do deserve a free loot chest with a lot in it cause of this

@distant ivy : Trust me, I'm as frustrated as you're. Love the concept of the game, not so happy about how buggy things are. !!!

@keen anchor yah concept is great just poorly coded with bad support. Still beta and they release it and are rolling in $$$. I pray they fix it cause Star Trek games are rare and costly to make and would be sad that one bites the dust

I agree. I haven't poured any money into it yet, but i have spent good amount of time in it, and so far, I have enjoyed my time in the game, glitchy client sucks the joy out of it for sure. !!!
distant ivy
Yep
queen ridge
@delicate sentinel Instead of looking into it and making the players wait why don’t you just roll it back to the old version? And then look into it and fix it
The old version works perfectly fine. I restored my device from my back up on my PC and it’s working beautifully
Because right now it’s virtually unplayable on iOS unless a player can rollback. People would be a lot more happy if you guys would resubmit the old version to the iOS App Store

@delicate sentinel it’s starting to become a little to crowded in the 3 tier mining systems a heavily populated amount of nodes. I’m not suggesting this because players are attacking each other but because once you choose a faction you eventually can’t go into other factions territories and mine with increasing the amount of nodes especially for the ORE nodes cause if your not in good standing with Romulan empire your stuck to like 3 systems and all three of them convert after you deplete then. It becomes more and more difficult for those lower lvl tier players who are just now needing to mine for those materials an unfair disadvantage, especially since their isent enough nodes for use higher tier players in the first place. Truth be told scraping for nodes doesn’t make the game fun to play. A couple friends of mine stopped playing as they didn’t care for the scrappy new at tier two materials
nova sierra
They are blockading mines on our server.

This whole game is just becoming more and more bull... no matter what you need, there’s never enough of it. Mine nodes, hostiles never respawn the way you need, missions all unattainable and for crap rewards... and these events. What in hell are they thinking???

The game gets verry slow after the last update
half saffron
The servers are totally overcrowded in relation to the resources available. Buying is pointless and the many - increasingly fierce - raids even with minimal loot bring more and more players - also payers to give up. The game seems to be increasingly reduced to rewarding the most primitive behaviors. This is neither the Spirit StarTrek nor a long-term interesting game. Increases the number of mines or limits the number of players per server. On the where I play, 47 players have been deleted from my own and allied alliances. 47 the last 8 days, one whole alliance nearly gone. Too bad. Fleet Command had good attempts
junior crow
Seriously!! How is a lvl 31 player allowed to attack a lvl 22 player?!
half saffron
Why is the northstar listed as miner? The cargo hold is casually and meaningless protected. It is a nice Raider, but not very suitable for mining - even if there is a bonus for it. It is reasonably capable Raider. So it should be classified and appropriately evaluated or reprogrammed to the mine ship, for example, by a LARGE cargo space that is DISTINCT BETTER protected
pale fern
@junior crow I can top that. I had 2 ships docked. My base and research is maxed. Uncommon G3 is so uncommon, I haven't refined any in about 4 days. In addition to this, the 5 minute shield doesn't work anymore neither do notifications.
I don't think they thought this through during game design.
calm root
@junior crow the top end level goes up +2 every level. So your top level for being attacked is actually 33 next level 35 and so on

@solemn coral @delicate sentinel, well you much anticipated update failed to fix broken nodes such as the two around these coordinates in Afritalis [S:81531 X:399.0503 Y:96.56918] I am done spending any more time, effort, money, on this game until these issues and others such as shields that drop before their indicated expiration, and incorrect travel times are resolved. I have lost resources due to these bugs. Imagine being told it will take 5 minutes to travel to some hostile space ... you set a timer on your watch for 4:30 min, and you return to the game at 4:30 min only to find either you ship is still traveling, with a 00 indicates, or has arrived early and been blown to pieces and you have to spend resources to repair.
Horrible gaming experience, not worth a penny.

We’re losing players daily . Moral is way down. Improvements don’t come fast enough. The game is worse then when we first started. So many in my alliance have the same complaints.. game freezes and crashes dozens of times every hour.. it’s very close to not being able to play
And, hopefully when it’s fixed, Scopely can change the packages and stop selling us items we don’t need

Same message is being delivered in my Alliance... games updates aren't working... game progression is to slow.... the power levels between players has increased exponentially to the point where most players are being bullied and are leaving the game. This game had potential... but it has become a mining game wrapped around a Star Trek package. Gene Roddenberry must be spinning in his grave right now.

@copper girder oh it gets a lot worse than that. They single out players for game changing amounts of res ($20k worth), ignoring players who have spent money. They also have thrown factions massively out of balance at high levels and haven’t the slightest sense of remorse over it. Tell the rest of your alliance to run for their lives because the billion dollar company only wants their cash for a few months.
Maybe a couple of bad reviews on the way out might help 😉
@delicate sentinel has the toughest job on the Internet asfaik
calm root
Lol yuup
vagrant cosmos
I am literally in the position of needing to spend around $15,000 to defend myself after a year of playing. It’s pretty rough 🤷♂️
calm root
Eh, more like $100/month if you dont have a great alliance. Shields Ftw
For bases that is. Ships, accurate atm
vagrant cosmos
Lol got an expert here
Gladius costs 5mil trit to repair. At current rates that’s 30+ days for the extra 3mil. Intrepid costs 2mil trit and 200k more on dil, which is 8days mining.
Fed people on my server were given 2-3billion tritanium when they balanced the intrepid, basically spitting on anybody who decided to go Romulan.
They are now flying around with maxed out Spock crews on Romulan ships. To counter it, you would need a maxed out fed ship with a Romulan crew, but those of us who went Romulan have basically been spat on.
So unless you want to do nothing and sit in a shield, you would have to spend $15k to counter.
Oh and romulan ships have upgrades like this:
Mk 9 guns on intrepid cost less than 200mil
calm root
Oh totes, ships are expensive atm. I was thinking more like base defense, I'm used to my ships getting nuked all the time haha
civic turret
This uncommon resources need and drop rate is pure BS. 10 straight refine cycles and no uncommon. BS. This game will be history in a year or two. Folks aren’t gonna put up with this BS for long
The only thing that gonna be left are noobs and wallet warriors. Not gonna last
vagrant cosmos
At almost a billion dollar valuation, you are just the short term fodder for their headlines.
Don’t invest too much time in it mate 👍
nova sierra
Help my horizon is block. Idem after reboot the game
chrome thorn
Those upgrades are INSANE
I know we've pretty much sped through and paid our way through a game intended to last months but I don't see how 457mil TRIT is an easy acquisition. The biggest nodes I've found are 25k.
mellow meteor
@delicate sentinel How long will scopely allow players like this to continue? If one spends enough, does scopely turn a blind eye? Why do only that players attacks vanish from my list within minutes? Every time he attacks this happens.
vagrant cosmos
Just wait until @delicate sentinel and scopely throw 3billion trit at him and increases your ship repair rates mate. That gets fun 😉
copper girder
@vagrant cosmos what level are you and what’s the drop from refinery like at your level, just to put that upgrade in perspective
vagrant cosmos
No idea. The trit will take me until about 2030 so it’s moot
@copper girder
Although my enemies were given 4 times that in trit for having their advantage corrected.
copper girder
I am 29 now, and the biggest concern is uncommon not trit or steel
vagrant cosmos
I have quite a lot of uncommon and rare from the merge for the year of investment before it so current numbers are not indicitive of game balance
I get about 40uncommon every 2!d refine
At 1 refine rates
copper girder
I refined 2x minimum for 2 months and I have barely scratched 20 rares
So I would never do a tier 9 upgrade because of the lack of rares
vagrant cosmos
That gets better. I get quite a bit of rare
But moot. Trit is 6k/hr. Takes over a month for a repair bill
copper girder
Buying them 15 rares/100$ is also a bad deal
Trit is events and raiding based
Never mining
vagrant cosmos
Lol how much you get a day?
copper girder
If I raid I get 500k-1M in 2 hours including searching for targets
Events usually net me around 500k
Mining is just not competitive
Only mining 3g
copper girder
Typical 3rd chest of a limited event
The second usually has 100k or 50k and the fourth is just uncommons
vagrant cosmos
Nothing like that here mate. So we got the refine rates and you get the trit. No wonder they are belligerent on the Rom costs over here, we’re all part of more beta testing crap.
No wonder Apple is fed up with them
This is ours
Given average research at my level takes 4 days or more, it’s not exactly a feasible source even if it was 250k
5mil for one repair is steep
vagrant cosmos
Yep limited is 250k here too, but see earlier point.
copper girder
I get it
vagrant cosmos
4 days and most research costs 2mil or more in trit
copper girder
What level are you
vagrant cosmos
33
copper girder
Shit
vagrant cosmos
Few days from 34
copper girder
No scaling?
vagrant cosmos
Been playing over a year
copper girder
I get the same rewards as you and I am 29
vagrant cosmos
🤷♂️
copper girder
Of course my spending is 2 order of magnitude lower
vagrant cosmos
Some events scale, some not so much
copper girder
80k repairs
vagrant cosmos
But you quickly run out of the daily event ability. Ops upgrade takes 40days without help
2mil if fed
copper girder
🤦
You are pretty much not supposed to level beyond 30
Because there is no endgame
thorny ridge
My lvl 36 ops was a 49 day upgrade
Jumping in and out of alliance I knocked 36 days of in 24 hours
But enterprise tier 6 to 7 time is 57 days
And zero alliance help , plus each gun upgrade is now 750m trit
Refinery is rubbish aswell at my level you need 1000’s of uncommon g3 but all it spits out is rare and common and maybe every 15 refines I get some uncommon
thorny ridge
Nope games at its end point unless they fix mining like it was in beta
nova sierra
Also my diamond shoes pinch and my wallet won't hold 1000€ notes...😂
languid bison
What are you supposed to do with / against high level ships anyway? Is there some secret competition or unknown gameplay that unlocks when you get the best ships maxed out? Or is it the same boring ass wait until someone drops their shield so you can slam your ship into their station to get resources you only use to repair your ship after it slams into a station? (Aka this games idea of pvp)
There is no end game, there is no purpose
nova sierra

hasty plover
@delicate sentinel @potent cipher Stop. Just stop with these nonsense events and fix the economy, upgrade requirements, the stupidly high prices of the packs and the G3 uncommon / rare refine rates. These garbage events are not worth it especially if we cannot even refine what we need in the first place!!!!! The patch didn't fix a lot of the mining issues, now we get this? The game is broken. FIX IT. My server has paying and non-paying players dropping like flies because of all the problems and the ridiculous cost to even moderately advance. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/509685530108362773/558684713452306473/asdasdasdadasd.PNG
dull gale
@delicate sentinel @potent cipher Why must every update to the game be designed to further increase the gap between the big spenders and the lower spenders? I have dumped over $500 into this turd, but every time I set a target, you guys move the finish line. Example, with the most recent update, 3 bosses in Utoqa, Noakyn and Azati all changed from 153k to 201k strength. I specifically bought 2 $65 packs to advance my ship enough to beat them, but nope, you changed the goal. Now it would take 2 $129 packs to reach the new target, or about 4 months of grinding. Meanwhile, the guys who dumped a ton of money early in the game got to beat those same bosses when they were under 100k strength. What the literal hell? Do you have any concept how much disparity that causes? Fk you all and fk your grandmother too!
hasty plover
@dull gale It's the ol scopelyashi maru. Your completely valid concern will be ignored in the order it was received because they are too busy counting the money they have wringed out of people, through game mechanics and pricing models that would make satan blush.
dull gale
Wringing out $$... I assume that's what they really mean when the response to a bug ticket is "the game is functioning as intended"

@charred haven what level are you ? Just trying to figure out at what lvl 5th daily chest gets enabled.
charred haven
Lvl 22. They prob dont know this is even “an issue.” I should have faction dailies, but I dont.
In their minds, I need to fix it on my end, instead of returning that number to 195 which is obtainable
I cant complete the 230
So how is that MY issue?
spark vale
I have faction dailies, but I cannot get lvl24, yet I an asked to hit lvl24 x 10 and lvl25x25 ... Uh... Guess I don't get this anytime soon, before it was lvl22 and lvl23
With 1.5 ships I can hit arom trader lvl 22, so every one of those 10 involves two repairs and returning to the system

When will you ever learn that i will not EVER spend £92.99 on a single ship upgrade pack. If you offered graded packs from £10 upwards you'd make a lot more money overall. And stop padding packs with useless g2 mats.

I have a neighbor who can verify all this
Here is proof of my shield

@analog ravine open a ticket in game show them your player ID and those screen shots
ask for a reimbursement of the resources lost
nova sierra
@analog ravine they know about long shields dropping early, so in case you dont have any pvp activity, they should fix rss to level before attacks.
analog ravine
Thanks. So shield just drops?
I will want them to provide several 7 day shields then
Not sure why I am shocked that shields don’t work in this game since nothing else does.

@delicate sentinel officer mining fix and refinery updates are huge QoL improvements. Thank you.
hasty plover
@delicate sentinel @potent cipher Hey. How about fixing the number one problem in the game, the artificially choked economy, the jerry-rigged g3 refinery, the ridiculous upgrade requirements, the lack of refining G3 uncommon and rare or inability to pay for it with latinum and the outrageous prices for packs that don't give you enough g3 resources and shower you with uselss G2 when you're over level 20? Or is it all working as intended, to funnel us all in a raid to play and pay to play model? We need answers on this. I've seen a number of paying and non-paying players on my server get fed up with this bs and quit. You guys need to do something right away about this and I'm not talking the cute little thing you are doing with the refinery right now with bonus refines. That's how it need to be all the time not just during these stupid events that are never coordinated or announced in advance and have no transparency.

abstract falcon
If you devs would quit playing the game and get to work, you could have had all these bugs fixed months ago. It should be illegal for devs to play there own games unless on a for devs only server
vagrant cosmos
Think they should play it more given the denials about imbalances and unfairness
abstract falcon
They could care less about imbalance and unfairness. That puts money in their pockets
I just want a playable game
Warp bug needs to be addressed too
vagrant cosmos
Takes money out of their pockets. When somebody spends $300+ and they put $20k plus of res in their enemy’s account 3 days later, credit cards tend to get stuck in wallets.

@distant ivy it’s probably not the same people fixing the iOS client that are working on the bugs in the other game systems. Also they have the stated the iOS problem is their top priority

I don’t know what the update was but the game sucks more now then it did before. Lack time, screen freeze, non working nodes, and on and on.

My question would be did they take all those resources from him or just let him keep it? If he got to keep it that just shows that its acceptable and that they can keep doing it with no repercussions.
And not only that it completely f's up the economy of the game.
wicked jetty
the economy of the game is completely fd up
if the other person exploited they are handing out bans, if they didnt its not their fault
but the economy of the game is not the primary concern here
except for scopelys bottom line
ebon thistle
he might not of botted , he might of just found your base unshielded by the known shield bug , if he did bot and cheat to take down your shield then im sure scopley will figure it out and take the right actions against their account

The bot is a app you have to download on the side. I never trust them anyways cause it’s easy to get your phone cloned clicking on wrong thing

@vivid minnow Fix the game! The bugs are ridiculous during the mining event. Players are hitting nodes they think are empty when in fact they’re full. Getting hit multiple times without any PMs. It makes playing the game impossible.
The mining event is a joke!

I don't mind a reasonable range above me being able to hit me (say even 2x-3x my power), it's part of a game. Only issue is when someone 10x larger than you can come after you, its problematic.

Those are not my screens, but this is not a discussion whether the mayflower is underperforming, that is a fact! If you have one you know it, if you don't, well lucky you for not wasting hundreds on a useless ship. This is a request for feedback from Scopely on something that should not happen.

@delicate sentinel I am pleased to see that some bug fixes have been adressed in the upcoming update.

The dailies had a sneaky buff kill 25x hostile with two levels... as 28 I have to kill level 33 hostiles. Normally had to kill level 31 and no I didn't upgrade.

L30+ is broken... 28+ is so-so... the bonus refinery actually did small baby steps in the right direction 😃

they are doing sentiment analysis on buying behavior. That’s really cool and I’m sure what helped them close a C or D round of funding. But let’s just get stupid simple. ACV= annual customer value.
So yeah, let people subscribe vs everything being transactional. Who plays Star Trek. 20 year olds, or older? And we have all been to the slot machines. Like the assjob they got from Zynga. Oh yeah, Zynga is the future. They are not only irrelevant but despised as much as AT&T
Yeah so just fuck you Scopely. You didn’t even have the business model of having talent to build this game. You outsourced it to Digit who I am sure is seriously lamenting the relationship because they didn’t even have their shit together. Look at the job postings. Anybody know anything about economics?
They want a designer to own this shit who ideally knows economics

You know I was going to post what you said here to the devs until ya started swearing. There are much better ways of constructive feedback then that. Ways they would actually listen..

Well. They had no problem swearing in their all hands to the community. Please feel free to edit

That was an oops and you know it lol

Thank you for not manipulating hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a product that players, free to play or not are desperate for because it’s in all its imperfections enjoyable. Until. Just until, they engineer it to appease their BOD. Their board of directors have been sold a cash register

Man this isn’t hard. Stop trying to be cute to individual investors like Arnold or a couple Menlo Park guys. You blew this already. Tell your CTO while it’s cute and all, this is screwing up what could be the next Eve Online
You think this property today is worth a half billion dollars? Wake up.
It’s people like Hivenind and the rest of us who are actually willing to buy value.
And yes, you can likely get there unless you pull the same idiocy pattern that has failed sooo many. Cough. Zynga. Stop it. Stop being a quarterly report driven business.
Theorycrafting buying behaviors of a demographic that you clearly don’t understand will just destroy value. You can reach me via email if you like. Guess what my business does? It works with the best and brightest in employee experience and customer experience. Happy to share credentials if you reach out.
Never have exposed that before but in this case it’s needed. You. Are. Screwing. This. Up.
I’ll be reaching to your investors, some of which I actually know through my investors or IB’s.
vernal swan
Seriously? For a reward of 1.5million para for this mission. Scopely. Fix yourself.
@plush bay 100% spot on. I was willing to pay, as many others have, but they do not appear to value the customers who made them profitable. Short term gain instead of becoming, as you said, the Eve Online for mobile gaming. Hmm maybe the makers of Eve should come to mobile platforms.

It would be nice if Admirals had tools to check member activity, see who is online, enter allies and enemies so their triangles/tags appear different colors.
Also, please fix battle reports showing Eoin vs. Eoin.

@delicate sentinel our server has become so bad to mine! It’s non stop killing spree. Out of control, stupid. I’d say Scopely has received 100’s of complaints and won’t do anything about it. My question is, will you offer raw materials in bulk for sale ? Thanks
covert sonnet
Scopely can't do much about those complaints, they can't change the behavior of players. But a pack with a bunch of refined materials may do. Or allowing us to use Latinum to buy raw materials and uncommon/rare refined materials

Can I get reimbursed? Iook at Bug-Reporting to see

Bring back the bonus refinery ASAP it has been the biggest help towards the crazy uncommon requirements just put it back until you come up with a better option for just a few days i was thinking scoplay is finally listening
ALSO post the top ten issues to be fixed so we can see if your actually fixing what matters to the players sometimes it feels like your priorities don’t match up with your customers maybe I’m wrong transparency is a good thing.

Has the G3 bonus been removed permanently I've got a real problem trying to get G3 uncommon I'm level 28 doesn't matter how many packs I buy I'm just building up res and not getting G3 un Common beginning to lose the will to live!

@delicate sentinel No changes to the drop rate off chest´s from hostiles? atm its around 33% that is to low. Most off the time you get BP´s you can use for anything.... This need an overall rework, not those small BS changes.

Or just make 3* uncommon have good drop rates in 30+ hostile kills... im happy to do work to get my uncommon

Loved the event where hostile kills mapped to uncommon, even when it was double hard

You're probably fed up of me going on about this but after several emails over many weeks about unfair offer prices aimed at those with bigger budgets and alienating players who have tight budgets we still have no change. I happy to spend £5 every now and again but can't afford £10 and up so how on this earth do you expect us to afford the following...

Those prices don’t make sense、 the lower ones are cheaper than here but the top ones are more than here doing direct forex gbp - jpy

Loot changes for Hostiles
Per your feedback, we have added 3* Survey Ship Parts to lower level hostiles and distributed them across the different ship types. We have also adjusted the distribution of specific ship parts to align with the hostile type (i.e., Interceptor parts will drop more often from Interceptor hostiles). ok so what do we get survey/mining ship parts from, the BP's and upgrade parts?
valid tulip
We have also adjusted the distribution of specific ship parts to align with the hostile type (i.e., Interceptor parts will drop more often from Interceptor hostiles)
Wouldn't it make more sense to have them drop from the type they're weak to? That means no efficient farming for EG the Vahklas since the Talla is too low to reliably farm higher levels and the Kumari isn't around yet
hasty plover
@delicate sentinel Stop restraining the g3 / t3 refinery rates for uncommon and rare. We are not getting upgraded refine rates that we've paid or played to meet the ridiculous upgrade requirements. This and the unrealistic upgrade requirements are destroying gameplay. This is not complicated physics. You guys did a half hearted upgrade for the event. So we know you can make the "upgraded" refinery work, but you won't. It's sad to pay and play to "upgrade" a refinery that does not produce better than the down-level g2/t2 refinery.
@delicate sentinel Also, my server is turning into lord of the flies because we can't mine, refine or get the resources needed to upgrade without everyone constantly raiding.

Absolutely infuriating that once you unlock the £20/50/100 dlc the £5 ones just disappear! I'd consider a £5 pack here and there but £50 or 100? Not a chance.

If you're gonna keep taking the server down for hours and hours of maintenance can you please give us more notice? I only just saw the notice this morning and now I have to waste 4 hours of shields to replace it with a longer one which I would've done last night had I seen it sooner. Or better yet, give everyone an automatic 4hr shield when the maintenance is done. Or allow stacking of shields instead of replacing. Any of that would be better than playing roulette with when the server will be back up.
nova sierra
The possibility of stacking shields would be great. But ... That certainly does not want scopely. Scopely wants that you buy shield-packs! 💲💲👎

I would love shield stacking! Or auto patch shoeld

Can the upper level players have a realistic cutoff for attacking lower level players. These players go on a rampage and lower level people cannot even finish the dailies

@delicate sentinel Any plans to sort the help exploit? We have an alliance on our server seriously abusing it.

I am to the point regardless of the money I have spent of quitting and leaving this crap to them, these mega spend alliance ruin it for everyone else, they purge anyone lower from getting any resources unless they want to spend thousands of dollars

I am quitting. There are many other games to spend money on.

If you are going to quit, can you post coordinates of your base for us? Your RSS shouldn’t go to waste right?

@mellow dragon Are you talking about leaving your alliance and rejoining to more hell requests?

It only reduces the time really, still have to spend the RSS to upgrade. And doesn't work too well if you're an admiral, lol.

Theirs got to be some way of controlling and limiting power alliances otherwise the whole game economy crashes

<@&509691205798592532> the lag and ring of death and crashes has not been fixed.... and after maintence it has gotten worse!

@potent cipher you changed the level of some systems in last update from app store but the hostiles didnt change, the level 17s have level 25 elite hostiles for example. was this intentional?
nova sierra
@little cradle the lv25s need to be cleared out for the lv17 to spawn
@distant ivy pm your player id to @delicate sentinel so the team can investigate please
Even better would be a list of player IDs from your alliance

@nova sierra @potent cipher i cleared em out, they spawned 17 elites, but there is no faction rewards on them

@little cradle yeah I noticed that too. They are outside the 3 main factions though, not sure how you work out which factions to give points for

Anyone know how to free up a ship that is stuck on a base in attack mode. And yes I have cleared catch and restarted.
@nova sierra You know how to free up a ship stuck inside a base in attack mode? And yes I have cleared catch and restarted.
nova sierra
@hallow mango two different types of ship stuck bugs I have come across:
- Communication glitch between client/server - fixed by moving another ship
- Vemet on bridge bug - only support can force recall
nova sierra
Unfortunately you have to play the waiting game with support so. Hopefully not stuck in a compromising position?
hallow mango
I am located inside a shielded base with my ship showing in Battle I am still able to shield so I will wait. As this is my first issue with something like this what is the proper procedure to alert the support team.
tepid ferry
I'm so sick of the countless bugs,crashes,lags,and other issues that plague this game. After this last update no I can't repair my ships even with resources and lautinum. I'm not alone in feeling like this. Many other players I've spoken with are like me and ready to quit this game. I've spent alot of money at on this game and I'm done dealing with endless issues that dev's either create or don't fix in a timely manner. I definitely will leave a harsh feedback and never play another scoply game again.
nova sierra
@hallow mango go to settings, help/FAQ, click any topic, scroll to bottom and select no for 'was this helpful' this will open up a help ticket. Add a screenshot showing your ship stuck in battle and support should fix within 12-24hrs
sacred swift
When is the auto shield going to start working properly?
Also, why are there now only $100 and $50 packs to buy. A single $20 and $5 peace shield pack is ludicrous.
hasty plover
@sacred swift Welcome to the freemium FU that you are going to get funneled into. I’ve labeledthe process as “The Scopelyashi Maru”. Leave your wallet and kids college fund at the door because this greedy game will try to bleed u dry.

I mean, I get the concept of the higher priced packs. I can accept that, but do they really think most of us have hundreds or thousands of dollars to spare for entertainment?

Just came here to give a big shout out to Scopely. They obviously knew that we were all really tired of the bugs in this game. So with the latest updates, they've programed us some new ones to go along with all the old ones. Thanx for keeping the game fresh and interesting for all of your valued customers. unamused
midnight wharf
Dear Scoplay. I think I have found your base issues related to the bugs in tne game. Its your math! Here is an exsampal of how off your math is. Comparing a station pack for 99.99 vs. A Latinum pack for the same price.
little cradle
not sure where to report bugs her but now bases in altrieg are invisible, there actually around zevis, but some kind of bug shows em launching anding thier ships at the central ship

those bases are invulnerable anyway

we had a baarricade around thier bases in zevis, and they were landing and launching from the sun behind us.

The Refinery is back to its old shitty self again.
Thanks for my 3 uncommon a day. By the end of the month I’ll have 90. By the end of the year I’ll have only two more months to go to upgrade that weapon on that ship I’m going to stop giving a shit about in three weeks.

You're like level 30 something Yeah?

The inability to mine because miners get killed non stop and the pitiful refining is what has me at the tipping point. The addition of BOTs that avoid or get around Peace Shields I think is the last straw
nova sierra
What npc give 3 star envoy parts now?
mighty bramble
The refinery is going to kill my interest in this game. Literally everything I have to upgrade or research requires it. It's brutal. Like just make the build time 4 months if that's what it's going to take to gather the uc3* mats. lol
ebon thistle
the refinery and PVP levels have killed my interest in this game its garbage that a lv 32 can attack a 22 , the 22 has no chance what so ever. so all i do is not spend money and sit on mines till im attacked , repair and go mine somemore ..its not worth even really playing the game till its fixed but i bet it will never be fixed.
keen bobcat
The game should look at an old mobile game called the hobbit battle of middle earth base attacks and base defences where a huge part of that game and it wasn't so much about level power more about hero power and how many troops you could build and take with you
All events where power brackets as well so you wouldn't get a level 32 with 7m go up against a player with 500k
acoustic zenith
So more and more players are getting fed up with the stupid pack prices in this game yet still no intentional notice of improvement from the Devs. If ever there was an example of ignorant greed then they personify it.

@delicate sentinel I appreciate all the work I see being attempted. There are weekly patches and updates. Not all do what they were intended to, but at least work is being done. More than can be said for most games on the mobile.
The major problem for the players right now is the refinery. This must become top priority. I'm sure I speak for most in saying we're not going to keep playing and wait 4-5 months, mining and refining twice a day just to upgrade one part of one ship, or to upgrade one building one level.
I personally have spent heavily in this game. Not all can. But even I am to the point where it would cost me over a thousand dollars to get enough 3* uncommons to upgrade just one component or one building. I'm insane and bad with money, but not that bad.
You all have got to make this change, and you have got to make it very, very, very soon. @potent cipher
nova sierra
Top priority should be fixing things we paid for...like payflower, 200€+ for a paper aeroplane @nova sierra
bright niche
You know what I'd actually like to see changed @delicate sentinel ... the ability of lower level players being able to have a fighting chance in combat against higher level players. My server has 3 alliances that have 95% of the top level players and are not only dominating the game, they are bullying players to the point that they are leaving the game. I've seen 10 players leave the game because of the inability to adequately defend themselves against these 3 top level alliances.
It's ridiculous to be come across a ship that is 1000x more powerful than your most advanced ship and not even dent the shields.
mighty bramble
@nova sierra i don;t' know what you're seeing; a guy on my server has a 520k may and it shreds my 514k d3
nova sierra
That's likely down to officers then...compare my 280k payflower vs 200k kumari with same crew fighting with triangle advantage and kumari outperforms it by nearly 100% (12 lvl31 faction exlorers vs 6 or 7 klingon interceptors)
Hunting klingons is supposed to be its primary purpose and it's shit at it.
Head over to fed channel and read for an hour...everybody trying to use it for it's intended purpose aggrees it fails hard
How close is the fight vs your d3? With triangle advantage payflower should absolutely dominate an interceptor...I'm betting it's a lot closer than it should be
mighty bramble
i think it ends up with about 1/4 to 1/3 of the hull remaining
nova sierra
And your d3 vs a similarly powered cent? Im guessing closer to half or 2 thirds hull right?
nova sierra
You see where I'm going with this?
mighty bramble
honestly, not really. But i'm also reading work emails and replying 😅
copper girder
@mighty bramble attack triangle and bonus vs Klingon. The payflower has to win against the D3
But the damage it takes is more than what the D3 takes against a Centurion and more than what a Centurion takes against a payflower
remote atlas
i mean, at this point, the MayClowner is what it is... i'm what 3 weeks (or 4 weeks) behind the D3 guys in faction hunting... that money is gone
whatever advantage we had by buying it early is gone
long gone
trying to do the Saladin for free if i can (or as close to free as possible)... that ship in PVE is a giant amongst men
but then scopely removed the bonus refines... so yeah...
