@delicate sentinel systems past lvl 35 virtually have no grade 3 to mine and the systems 35 and under are too overcrowded

I think for the dev team while they want to monitize their investment the L18 to L19 transition leaves players with a WTF have I been doing with my time moment. I was fully prepared to rock out a $25 apple card but now I feel like I may slow my roll in the game instead. I am sitting at 74/75 cards for that jelly thing and watching other players smoke miners while I fully explored the map. It hit a wall that the value to entertainment correlation was lost.

#

I appreciate the work that had been done but it was a very awkward transition to a multi day engagement to an every other day if not longer experience.

@delicate sentinel please can we somehow stop low level players going into faction space and mining resource they don’t need, the number of mines has dropped and we have lvl9 players somehow mining 3* res in Voss at the moment - how do they even get there? None of us can clear them and it holds back higher players

Put Scotty on the bridge and they can get there. They also have faction points to do.

you get faction missions as soon as your rep is positive with a faction +500, maybe a low lvl restriction. Im 14 and i got faction missions

@glass horizon I've been doing them for a long time so don't think it's level 17. They could have started to do their faction rep and are doing their daily missions and building it up while still a low level. You might have started them at level 17 but I have people in my Alliance who are levels 12 and 14 and they are doing the mining daily ones

A THOUGHT:

Imagine trying to play your game, somebody that is in an alliance comes by and blasts you dirty multiple times and their alliance offers 200 members + strong and the person throws that weight around.

Yeah that's fun, so they quit. Yeah that makes this game better. Or they speak up and you all decide to destroy their alliance and a few quit. That makes it better too. I've seen this happen, I've talked to people that have quit. This isn't crying, this is fact.

odd spoke
#

Those who got out a month ago I envy them.

#

Scopely: Please sell the game to developers who know what they are doing. Clearly you do not. This is a good game that is spoiled by financial motivation. Do what is right by your players, just once.

#

@delicate sentinel <@&509691205798592532> these new bosses are 2-3X harder than the prev ones. You need to have 400k ships to even dent them. That screwed out like 3/4 of our server from participating

#

The boss systems are virtually dead on my server lol

Does anyone have a maxed out Mayflower so that I could see its stats?

#

@delicate sentinel there should be a pause option or freeze option in the game because there are many players that be frightend to loose all ressources, when they're off to long. More payers give up the game than freeplayers because it grabs to much reaching the goals and it takes to much time being in game and buying things to secure what played for. The shields are not enough because the useful option-7 days shield- isn't easy recieve and buyers give up to pay for it. The game become for many stressful -selfmade, sure, but everyone want to reach goal or win by what the system establishs and it starts to be no Fun, no game for many people. So please think about a pause option or and easier recieveable weekshield.

24hr chest should have better rewards in it. You wait a while day for it and get 50 dil and 200 ship xp. I can get that in a 10 minute chest. Same with the 4hr chest 100 parasteel. I understand the small amounts in the 10 minute chests but the bigger 2 should give out better rewards for the time you have to wait for them.

Hi just a guess. Think about fraction daily balance in enemy task a jump from 25 to 28 in the 10 enemy easy daily is rough jump especially when u regard the higher power fraction enemy’s got compared to pirats

mossy flint
#

@delicate sentinel

  1. revamp the gift boxes, take a good look into the loottables of each box and make them scale with ops level. Getting more lat from 10 min and 4h ones than from 24h is a big no-no
  2. store packs, remove 2* stuff from ultra packs and atleast double the uncommon quantity- and again, tie the content levels with ops level. At lvl24, when wanting to upgrade the kumari past t3, you need to spend 1 ultra pack for 1 upgrade? And later in the game more than 1 ultra pack per upgrade? This is what keeps many many people from spending in the game as they dont feel the it as a viable investment for their money. I havent seen a game this expensive in 20 years xcept for Star Citizen
    3)remove par from ship kills, it is a useless cargo filler when it could have been filled with trit/dil which is way more needed.
    4)Announce events a week before launching them. This will allow people who want to upgrade their ships use real money, allow for stockpiling on repair speedups/resources and get you better attendance on the events ( if they are not as broken as they have in the past)
#
  1. Being in a functioning alliance should mean something more than just the purple button, having higher lvl ppl taking down bases and social interaction. Higher alliance level should have a substantial increase in the progression of the game ( have it faster research/build, repair speed, resource generation). Implement it by alliance research, which everyone can take part of beside their regular upgrades and research. Do not allow speedups or lat to be used to fasten this.
    6)missions, add them. and lots of them. And please with reasonable input/reward levels. Having a mission that you get from low systems, requiring to kill ships way out of your league and if by some miracle you can kill the ships, it requires you to travel to warp40+ systems for reward is a letdown to say atleast. Make the missions repeatable, again, tied to ops level. And no "give me 1.8M dil for 1M parsteel missions please, those are stupid).
mossy flint
#
  1. Ranked events need to be bracketed. A level 20 player mining against a level 28+ player only gets you to a point where people will not participate.Or a level 20 player needing to kill the same hostiles as a level 28+ player. Solo boss kill for example- takes 5 or 6 level 24+ players to get one boss down, only way for everyone to get on the board were to allow people get the killshot in turns, sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not. Waste of tons of speedups and resources

@potent cipher what’s up with the increased level of faction NPCs you have to kill on the dailies? Both dailies went up a level even though I didn’t. Care to explain?

@analog ravine did your faction rep go up a level?

No

analog ravine
#

@delicate sentinel could you please look into the issue I pointed out above?

lunar crown
#

There should be a way to gift other players items. I. E. I have a bunch of ship parts I no longer want, I have a bunch of blueprints I no longer want, I'm pretty sure it'll be the same with 2*resources soon... It'd be nice to be able to distribute them to the lower level guys in the alliance somehow. Or take a hit and say the amount goes down 50‰ if you gift, or is distributed like alliance rewards to everyone.

copper girder
#

@analog ravine same here what the hell

pure fern
#

well parts sharing should be able to send vie user menu. If the player is on same alliance.

#

@mossy flint Now it is goood that game is providing alliance missions. Sadly I am only level 24 or above 20 level in my alliance so our memebers aint that active and able to participate in anykind of alliance missions.

#

Most casual players are leaving before 20 level as it takes for ever to play to there. If someone goes past 20 he is starting to be more sirious of the playing.

#

The game has 50+ levels and after 30+ I think it is ridigolous amounts of resources and uncommon materials that it takes ages to upgrade or you use 400€ per month to upgrade 4 items on your vessel

#

Since the game does not provide essential updates to protected cargo till example at 30 level you could have 1 million protected cargo and so one to be able to mine the needed materials

#

In any game the wait times should not be more than 3 days I think. Mining times should not take more than 3 days to get enough to do something, but no, this game allows stealing so you never going to mine enough in threee days...

mossy flint
#

lolwut?

vernal meadow
#

I agree but only in part. The general RSS of the game is not really the issue. It’s refining rates vs required materials. At current refining rates it will take approximately 1.5 years to tier a ship. Or 700 USD. I am currently level 28 after over a month of mining and refining materials I face the question. Do I upgrade one of my ships shields or upgrade my research facility. Either way it’s another month of grinding for the other What happens when the answer is neither and the player stops playing. My server has 100s if not 1000s of dead stations.

#

This week alone my alliance which (depending on the day) is either first or second on the server has lost 8 high level players to the unrealistic requirements of the game.

Enemy space I understand the concept that there is fighters seeking me out to destroy me but they should not spawn on top of my ship 2 seconds after I come into the system. Has this been changed from the previous way they slowly stalked you?

There has been a change, not communicated but it used to be that only one revenge ship would spawn if you had two ships in the same enemy system. But today I had both warships being hunted by 4mil NPC's

Don’t know if this is the right channel for that, but guess the support is drunk or maybe all of the bugs just developed an AI and they invaded the support system.

Game is poop, crashing every 10 mins losing our pms, loading screens slow-motion the game to the point it gets stuck and you have to restart the app happening every 5-10 mins. Everyone is having the same issues I brought this up over a week ago still no fix. Instead of spending time creating garbage events that are costing us more then we are gaining, spend the time fixing the current problems

I have been complaining about those issues @lapis wigeon for almost two weeks.

#

Got worse when they added the act of war event

Rant continues in events feedback lol @distant ivy

I have posted it in both over the weeks and they say they are fixing it but just keeps getting worse for me @lapis wigeon

#

Indeed, and these events are targeted for the big spenders, only guys even competing in the ranked act of war event are those who unlocked the early faction ships, who don’t need to suicide 12 ships to kill a boss. Spent 20 minutes to kill 1 boss dudes with intrepid knocks out 3 in one visit.

distant ivy

Yep the last three events minus mining have all been for big spenders. They have lost focus

#

You need 250 3* uncommon to upgrade and the refinery products 3 every fifth or sixth cycle. How long does it take to acquire 250.

#

you need 250 twice so thats 500 now how long does that take...... Wait you can buy it from the store at the most 105 3* per $99.99 pact. how many pacts do I need to buy. Oh wait again you still need the same material for buildings and researches so it may take a little more.

#

Maybe $600.00.... that is to move it up one teir.

#

We need another source for uncommon material other than store.

#

When you need more parts for upgrade you can trade lathium, if you need uncommon you are directed to the store where you just buy the needed quantity but the whole pact.

#

The pact provides you with more just 3* material but also with 2* material (which you have absolutely no use for) than you can’t buy the quantity you want but only a portion.

#

Is there anyone else getting fed up with this.

#

Who decides what is put in a pack obviously that person doesn’t know the game or does he/she.

#

Then the damn game crashes every fifth or sixth screen changes. If your ship is in hostile territory by the time you restart your ship is destoryed.

The chat profanity filter needs to be reviewed. There are too many normal every day words that get blocked, and plenty of profane ones that don't. "Bite" was blocked, for instance.

Do you think we can maybe keep lvl 8 players out of 3* gas systems? There is absolutely no need for a lvl 8 player to be mining 3* gas.

#

Couldn't I argue the same about the level 18 next to them?

cosmic knoll
#

Faction rep. Never too early for those dailies. @void grove . how about keeping those lvl 20+ out of 2* rss systems? Theres absolutely no need for a lvl 20+ needing 2* rss anymore

wicked jetty
#

the difference is people who should be in 3* space can remove the 18 from the node

sleek pond
#

I think it could potentially be better if there was a mechanism to remove a ship from a zeroed node without destroying them regardless of level, and I think if someone wants to prepare for future use of 3* rss, it shouldn't be discouraged.

cosmic knoll
#

Its only human nature to give a sht about things that only affect themselves. And care not about others. There should be an auto kick off a depleted node for sure

sleek pond
#

I mined about 100k of each 3* rss at level 9 for future use.

wicked jetty
#

that seems like a massive waste of time since you can only use 3500 of each per day until level 22

#

and you will need to mine some anyway for your dailies

calm root
#

Tbh I was mining *3 as soon as I was aware and able, so like lvl 15 or so. Built up to 315k minimum in each so I could go 90 days without mining if I had to

sleek pond
#

I might stay at level 20 for a few months just to build up enough uncommon for prime shields and hulls. Also afraid of not being able to mine much at higher levels due to constantly hearing about miners being destroyed. I would rather just avoid that and mine while I can't be hit.

wicked jetty
#

the uncommon rate is substantially better at 22

#

just fyi

calm root
#

Yeah you might want to push up a few more levels if uncommon is your goal.

sleek pond
#

Sure, it's always better at higher levels, but my strategy will to be to try to max as many things as possible before being able to be hit by higher level opponents. If it takes half a year, so be it. I'm patient! šŸ˜„

wicked jetty
#

plus you get the double refines at 22

sleek pond
#

I'm only level 10 now, and probably won't get there anyway for 6 months.

wicked jetty
#

ah, definitely premature to discuss your 20 plans then šŸ˜›

sleek pond
#

Yeah, I'm taking the game VERY slowly lol.

#

By that time, maybe they'll have fixed all the infuriating issues that the mid-high 20 players face. fingers crossed

#

Funnily enough, with all the complaint about the recent event being too hard, I've found it to be way too easy at level 10. I just take my phindra and kill about ten level 14 hostiles in one go. Boom, already got the 25.2k points necessary for 6700 tokens.

wicked jetty
#

honestly the event isnt hard in the low to mid 20s unless you've out leveled your ships

#

its really only the 28+ bracket that was unreasonable

Yeah I out leveled my ship so it's a bit rough, but still doable. The boss, not so much haha

My review of this game on Google Play:

Injusto, desbalanceado, bugs, e movido a dinheiro. Apresenta um círculo vicioso de evolução no jogo e gasto crescente de dinheiro. Se não gastar logo o dinheiro investido então fica vulnerÔvel ao ataque dos mais fortes. E gasta-se dinheiro para manter sua Estação/Base. O jogo é frustante e causa ansiedade.

Unfair, unbalanced, bugs, and money-driven. It presents a vicious circle of evolution in the game and increasing expenditure of money. If you do not spend the money invested then you are vulnerable to the attack of the strongest. And you spend money to keep your Station / Base. The game is frustrating and causes anxiety.

yea, like a low lvl player needs g3 for rep dailiy. just because something affects your game you complain, and expect everyone else to fall in line.

imo i welcome low levelers sitting on g3, teaching high levelers the pain they cause. high levels gtfo of low lvl systems and maybe the lowbies will gtfo of the high ones because they will be able to sit on nodes they 'can' use - oh wait .. you never thought of that did you?

#

This game is really not living up to what was shown. People have spent thousands because this was a Star Trek game. As soon as you hit upper teens it’s just a pvp. The problem is those higher level players have zero resources because it cost so much to just upgrade

#

Two hundred dollars just to get a base mayflower

#

Another two or three hundred to upgrade. That’s $400-$500 to be able to play

#

And lord help you if you can only get one of the mayflower (or other ship pack) and the event goes away

#

Your basically stuck.

tough beacon
#

Your money estimate are unfortunately conservative. To get the mayflower last 500k which is the only way it is usable it will cost you $1500.... the kumari will cost you $2000, the borta and Saladin will be $5000 each.

#

That is assuming you are tiered up in your base... so add that money as well

#

Those prices are assuming fully upgraded off course

#

Or you can buy a jet sky and go on the water every weekend....

Can a VIP system be implemented into the game where when a person spends a certain amount of $$$/buys a certain amount of Latinum, they go up a VIP level (VIP I, VIP II, VIP III....etc.). Also PLEASE implement a way for us to buy uncommon and rare materials with Latinum, like say after someone buys all of the Prime Research packs.

@delicate sentinel why do we need ship blueprints in the drops except for surveys? Noone is going to waste rss to build another Kehra or Vakhlas or even the g2 ships. And they generate that annoying red number ob the ships icon. It made sense when the ships were not locked to shipyard levels - you could theoretically farm and build a ship like Kumari at i.e. 23. But now it’s just useless.

Game feedback - really good game, especially for Star Trek fans but without spending real money there is no hope for free to play players such as myself.

1⃣ Building and researching takes too long without speedups
2⃣ There are constant fights over mining spots where higher levelled players just come along and kill us weak ones to then have to wait for our ships to repair before sending them out in the hope it'll bring something back
3⃣ Attacking NPC ships as part of the daily tasks is also a constant battle with higher powered players
4⃣ My station was attacked by someone that clearly has more money than sense and it takes a day or so to repair etc only for them to no doubt come back and do it again

I've decided that even though I like the game, its just going to take too long to even remotely get strong enough to withstand an attack or win a mining spot etc without spending so game is uninstalled... live long and prosper

nova sierra
#

The iOS app is really getting to be annoying and it is really ruining the game. I'm at the point now where I have to restart before I do anything in hostile faction space or if I want to get into the event store. Are you guys going to fix it or what? This has been going on for far too long.

@GH0STCIVIC#6503 Because the game doesn’t favor free players because, after all they work for money, doesn’t make it unplayable. You still can advance. I guess the biggest problem for most people that play and do not pay any type of subscription or type of purchase within an app have expectations that do not make any sense. Why would anybody purchase a package if leveling up was just as easy?

@delicate sentinel great game, great supp no it isnt, you know that most of the research stuff doesnt work but take all the money and res from the players and refund or fix nothing.... for example reseach to reduce ship upgrade costs dont work so you pay for resarch and must pay the same as all other for upgrades ..... if you spend nothing on research your ship will have 1 tier lvl +...... sad game

#

Also bases wich cant be atk by using a bug / glitch ..... yea support know but do also nothing.... since when bug using is ok ?

lean hawk
#

and what can they do. They wait devs to fix the bug

idle lichen
#
  1. they can tell us that it is not working so nobody needs to spend useless material on that

  2. they can refund the wasted materials, all upgrades wich were done after resach costs too much and a lot matetial is wasted

  3. if people using bugs/glitches and they know it, they get a bann in every game but here no one care ..... all the players relocate their bases to the buggy planets as they know they are safe there...

@delicate sentinel could you also clarify the idea behind the missions with the crazy amount of resources required to be donated? I'm talking primarily about Dil as mining it takes crazy long and missions now are asking anywhere from 400k to 4m. And I know there are those that require more

#

It's not like we don't have other places to put our hard earned resources?

Very good about the latest announcement i hope you are going to punish Scotty's workshop bot users. Why play if you have to cheat!

@bold mirage the idea is that you buy it...although if you don't rush through the combat training missions they can be an excellent dilithium reserve...the lvl32 mission to kill 10 hostiles gives over 2mil for example.

Well it has been a day and still nobody from Scopely has responded on Reddit either. Safe to say requesting info from them is pointless on any platform

Reddit might help, but a campaign to contact CBS, might work well also. CBS owns the franchise, and would not want it harmed by Scopely. Many are very disappointed by this game and the way Scopely manages it. Changes must come, or their revenues will drop.

@nova sierra I know about hostile rewards, but I have better things to spend them on as they’re the only reloable source of dil in the game. And buying dil with real cash to sink them into quests with minimal rewards seems counterintuitive

Anyone else hate the vaults? The amount of RSS they can hold in them is really not worth the amount spent to upgrade them and then they are a requirement to be at level 24 for shipyard 24. I'm pulling my hair out waiting for these things.

I'm working on vaults too. It's long, painful, expensive and ultimately seems rather pointless, except as a necessary step towards the Kumari. I wish they protected more than they do, except then I'd curse when raiding 🤷

maiden kite
#

@uneven aurora some missions just have to be achieved later in the game when your level allows it. For example I have about 8 mill dilithium atm which I have very little use for. So if I had that mission sitting there it would be extremely easy for me. I also have several missions waiting because my ship isn’t quite powerful enough yet. But I’m close, so I’ll cross those bridges when I can

#

Hostile hunting mission chain is also the best way I’ve found form stockpiling dilithium. After the mid 20’s dill becomes much less important in daily play. I’m pushing through to level 32 now and parasteel is where it’s at for me. I ignored it for many months but now I am very steel hungry for my station builds. It’s probably fairly useless to you though

#

@delicate sentinel you guys dont understand power versus level. Stop making content based on level and base it on power. I saw how ridiculous this is. In this event I was 23 for majority of it, this morning I hit 24. My power is basically the same, but instead of striving to get 4mil for the event I now have to get 9 mil.. stop basing things off of the operations tower and focus on the level.

The power of the player that is

#

@delicate sentinel You are totally unprofessional regarding the earlier announcement on delaying the maintenance. You cannot announce a time and then just say we are checking and when we're ready we'll do it.

#

@delicate sentinel Either learn from the other games in the market to put protection on ships/bases one hour (let's say) post maintenance or announce always in advance specific maintenance time and duration and if you can't stick to it delay for another day!

nova sierra
#

@nova sierra And what if the maintance is delayed ? How this change anything? And why attack Panic, what to tell if he doesn't have information for new hours. If he say and then is late more you will attack him again!

#

@nova sierra We're in the middle of an event!!!! And I'm not attacking Panic. This is not personal. He's the interface to Scopely and should land this feedback where it's deserved.

#

I think it is not acceptable that it is informed only ā€œdelay ā€œ. Many put 4 hours shield and now of course over 1 hour has gone. If you start maintenance (3,5h) like now these people don’t have shields anymore. :/ @delicate sentinel

mossy flint
#

Putting a 4h shield on a expected 3,5h maintenance is stupid to say the least. You were given a 1 day shield- if that were to run out and the maintenance hadnt been done, then it would be time to whine about it

brisk berry
#

I agree its always possible some maintenance gets delayed due to issues....but then its better....to say oke issues are fixed...now maintenance will be planned again for next day....not just delay a few hours and then start it anyway though because a lot of people will be disadvantaged that way?

charred ravine
#

They gave a free 1 day shield, used that. I think they knew this could happen, otherwise they would have given 4 or max 8h shields.

It is an improvement, from bad to meh.... ok, but still not good though

Wish they'd let us stack shields..,and since maintenance is delayed, double rewards for the last day..

@delicate sentinel @potent cipher The last patch/update was supposed to address the game freezing issue. Yes, I don’t get the spinning circle anymore but for the game freezes and/or stutters MORE now than before. I am regularly having issues with 5-10 minutes of logging into the game and have to constantly restart.

I can Easily and directly link at LEAST 250k in Trit (very likely more) to these problem, as well as at least 75k-100k in Dil lost! All from not being able to react to situations like defending my ships and base.

That doesn’t even cover to the free chest rewards I MAY have lost because the freezing happens a lot upon trying to claim the rewards. When I restart I admit I don’t know for sure I haven’t received a reward but I usually have a Very good idea of my numbers on the most common chest rewards and the numbers never seem to change upon reloading!

This is REALLY sucking all the enjoyment out of the game!

weary kernel
#

@ionic citrus I second that you really need to balance the resource allocation better by level in everyway 2* just makes no sense as a reward to anyone low - mid 20s and up.

#

Please adjust the daily events for higher level players. All the way up through the low 20s the basic daily events were doable but once you hit 26 some of them just cost stupid amounts of resources to complete and require way more than it's worth. Especially when you consider the rewards offered. Balance is a tuff thing to manage but I think you guys can afford to hire the crew to accomplish it.

@delicate sentinel That is exactly what I told them. And after 6 mails and almost a week... This is a pattern, every time, every issue.

How does the system determine what xp you get from killing a ship? It seems totally random. For example I’m killing romulans on a level 24 system. I kill a level 24 trader and get 334 xp I kill another level 24 trader right next to it and get 134 xp. I then fly over and kill a battleship level 24 get 338 xp and then kill another one same level and get 218

The problem with the bugged bases really becomes an issue on our server. It’s starting to spread. The game really becomes unplayable if half the bases you attack that don’t have people online get bugged in mid raiding. It started with the russians and now whole planets with people around get bugged.

#

Raiding is hardly worth it.

nova sierra
#

How many systems are bugged in yours? We have a couple as far as we can tell

quartz flint
#

It’s spreading...one system seems to be completely bugged. People porting in get warned that they’re going to stay there for a while. And it’s true. They can’t port.

#

When we see a fat target for raiding we first ask in alliance chat if it’s bugged.

#

So it’s not just certain systems.

#

I try to report base i come across to support, but then i’m reporting all day.

#

It’s definetly worse than say a week ago. Came across two new bugged bases today and one went bugged during my attack.

#

Oh and just to be clear. The bugged bases can’t be attacked and they can’t port. Message says something about the base not being able to port in its current status. Contact support.

#

Last few days saw two other bases go bugged on me.

#

And i couldn’t keep count of how many bases people ask in the alliance chat that are confirmed to be bugged. Like i said, it’s spreading.

#

Why is it so that the faction stores G3 raw materials purchasing is not thought through?

#

a Romulan aligned should be able to buy G3 Gas and Crystal. Instead they can only buy Ore and Crystal, Ore which they are required to mine 10K+ daily from when hostile to other factions

#

this leads there to being Two systems that exist ingame with neutral gas-mines that you can mine from when aligned Romulan. Naturally those two systems are 24/7 occupied by 100-250K mining ships, meaning its impossible to progress once you need gas

#

shouldnt the faction store be the counter to this? Mine your own factions G3 stuff, buy the others. Or is it intentionally made like this to force people to buy packs to progress if they are deeply involved in factions?

Could we make base resource mining relevant again? At the current mining rates, it takes literally months to collect the tritanium necessary for one ship repair at higher levels, or the parsteel for one building upgrade. Let alone the quests to mine millions of resources which are nigh impossible.

weary kernel
#

Resource allocation is not balanced for higher levels, the refinery, event and hostile rewards need to be balanced for levels.
The refinery is practically a bad joke most of the time.
Many of the events especially the power gain events are not balanced for higher levels it costs a fortune to complete them and the rewards are not worth it.
Hostiles should give out rewards for there level or at least be more balanced. A 3* level hostile should not give out 2* items.
Events should not give out 2* level items after the low to mid 20's probably 22-24, they should only give basic or 3* materials.
Players should be compensated when game bugs cause them lost progress or resources especially when they can show it with screen captures and it's a known bug.
The bugs need to be fixed!
I'm ok with the pay to compete game play but the price for items in this game are way to high especially when you consider how many bugs and the unwillingness to compensate players for losses.

Scopely - Could use some assistance with your game layout in regards to the fact that a lot of us have to 'keep the game up' in order to react to things and the concerns for Screen Burn in.

#

I just started noticing some of the layout is burning into the screen and I only have played the game for about 3-4 months now but do have it up for hours at a time. The settings don't allow much other than telling me it has HD settings. This is on a Samsung S9.

#

@distant gull From what my Alliance leader has reported, Scopely has a chart of 'acceptable' hitting ranges for each level. Sadly, this does not take into account that not all players can fight reasonably well against players who put in a lot of money into the game or spend a higher amount of time into the game to game the resources to make them more powerful over time.

#

This chart is not going to be told to us, but in my personal opinion, the PVP aspect, along with the PVE aspect, has some 'questionable' balance aspects that still need to be addressed.

#

Power disparity is one, while it is understandable that people should be able to crack bases (Thus needing higher power...) the tradition player mentality is "hit with guaranteed win" which often is 'overpower by any means possible'. The rewards vs risk is literally skewed to the point that it does not really reward taking risk, it rewards people paying the most money to jump ahead.

#

Or plays the most.

There should be more 3* resource nodes. I have only found up to 6 in any faction space and there are fewer in Klingon space. This might have been acceptable early on in the game when not many needed 3* resources. But now that there are hundreds upon hundreds of people who need them. It would be wise to open up more systems with 3* nodes. And why the least amount in Klingon space? Did the person who decided where to place them have a problem with the Klingons??

@nova sierra it’s a hack bot that allows players to attack even though you have a shield. Report it and send your player I’d and any screenshots you have of having a shield and of your resources. They should refund your resources.

The combat balance in this game is appalling. Just had one higher level player attacking lower level bases, and a score of other lower level ships couldn’t make a dent in the ship by way of defence. The whole combat system is fundamentally flawed if no amount of skill, strategy, or reasonable numbers of lower level ships, can defend against an attack by one.

unreal aspen
#

The PvP Level scale, in my opinion, seems to be reliant on the fact that they don't have Armadas available to allow more than 1 ship to hit a base similar to how Lords Mobile uses Rallies to gather up sufficient forces to hit an objective. Although even in Lords Mobile, high level players could literally singlehandedly smash through defenses as well.

#

There is literally no 'normalization' that should be in place for proper PvP.

@pallid hatch @willow galleon I quit after this last event. I was level 25. Couldn't hold a node because a level 37 player just hit me non stop. One rotten alliance on my server essentially controlled everything.

Not to mention their rotten "customer service" lol

For the pvp event they should balance it so miners aren't prioritized it should be 1 point for a miner, and 3 points for a combat vessel (interceptors, explores, and battleships)

@hallow pumice -- unfortunately, even with that point spread, it's less of a risk attacking a miner and less maintenance/repair needed on the attacking vessel. You can attack more miners and get the same points and use less resources repairing.

True, I could hit 10 fortunates compared to 3 phindra and have a faster repair, it'd be a matter of how quickly you could hit the ships

@delicate sentinel does daily elite reward packages come back ?? It was a very nice addition for players

copper girder
#

@delicate sentinel Past a certain level the dailies are a pain to complete. If you do not complete both a building and a research you have a really hard time getting there. Faction hostiles tend to be 3-5 levels higher than the normal daily hostile making that daily a pain (6-7 repairs) also because there are really few systems with lvl 33 and 35 faction enemies and the level you are looking for is usually already gone. No one kills lvl 32, 34 and 36 ... sos that is all you find. At the end of the day, I have come to a point where I am missing out on the last chest more often than not, being almost research capped and unable to build daily a building because I am resource starved. Or do you expect me to pay a pack every 3 building?

@delicate sentinel @potent cipher When will Scopely do something about mines changing rss? In Karmia there are 3* crystal mines that change to dil when they are reset. And there is no guarantee that after becoming dil, it will revert back to 3* crystal.

@cunning python It's deliberate.

@delicate sentinel My suggestions for this game are - 1 dilithium mining is a joke takes 10 hours to mine 12k , I take one of my fed ships for daily and it costs me 46k dil to fix it and its at tier 6 only. 2. Refinery is a total joke, at level 31 I barely get 10 to 20 uncommon if that from 12k batch since the 125K is not doable on daily basis., yet one upgrade on a tier 6 mayflower requires 860 3* uncommon gas . 3. Events are not worth the resources spent, we should gain more than we spend on events. 4. Your Packs for $100 dollars are a rip off, i need to buy 5+ packs of $100 to do one upgrade of any kind on higher level ships, and one base pack will give maybe enough for 2 or 3 building upgrade. I expect to spend $100 dollars and be able to tier up a ship not barely upgrade one item. 5. all repair prices for ships need to be reduced. 6. all upgrades costs need to be reduced.

So when i started this game it was fun. The universe was full of people you could raid to get resources and use them to upgrade your ships. Trit prices where expensive for components but with a day of raiding you could buy an upgrade. Now after a month of screw ups in updates, events that got pulled, massively increased trit prices, resources behind the coins, my galaxy is almost empty it seems. No trit or dill to be found except in bugged bases that you can’t attack. The usual base has between 30-70k trit but the bugged bases have in the millions. Bugged bases, that are spreading on our server. I’d say 2 out of 3 targets are bugged now. It’s no longer fun to play the game. The economy is dead and players are leaving. We need a regular influx of trit and dil to keep the game interesting, not just a stupid event now and then where you can choose between incredibly hard to get items or some crums of trit or dil. Mining trit or dil is a joke, rates are way too slow. And generators obviously can’t sustain the economy. Since the trit prices where raised i saw only people leave, even high spenders. Investing time in the game seems hardly worth it anymore. Panic could you please make sure the devs do something about this? @delicate sentinel

analog yacht
#

Hi is anyone else having issues with the alliance rewards and not getting any rewards or great rewards for what the alliance member is buying and what you recieve

cosmic knoll
#

@quartz flint the reason rss can only be found in bugged bases is simple: you (and everyone like you). You dont mine, you just raid. and that leads to people that do mine getting zeroed and leaving the game. This is why NAPs are bad, but thats another story.

quartz flint
#

@cosmic knoll So you want me to mine that 3.9m trit upgrade for my northstar with miners capable of mining at 6k an hour? Seriously? 🤣

cosmic knoll
#

if you didnt create the situation youre in now, you could of had hundreds of bases with things to take. and now youre going to have to mine and protect your stuff or get raided

nova sierra

It's almost passed that point, critical mass ,too many leaving due to numerous reasons

#

Add piss poor support,little to none in truth

#

At my level,it's really time consuming to attempt to mine anything more than a few hundred thousand parsteel, maybe a load or so of tritanium...face it, scopely is killing its game

quartz flint
#

Look, it’s a pvp game people will take whatever actions that are optimal to them. Given that if i don’t raid, my neighbour raids, i’d be an idiot to not raid. If you get raided too often, have a problem with naps, go talk to scopely. It’s their game mechanism that steers this bevaviour.

How do you report alliances using illegal bots?

ivory ember
#

@solemn coral @delicate sentinel hey we have a major issue developing. On our server we have an alliance forming of players having very high level ships and power doing one thing.. attacking everything and everyone. They may be doing this out of protest, some say, being done with NAPs and ROEs and act like it is a free-for-all. The strength of their ships due to upgrades is way too much for even the higher level players who have not spent real money as much. All the other major alliance leaders on the server I am on are getting sick of them and their ability to do what they are doing. We need assistance.

subtle briar
#

I think the answer here is to spend money to keep up with the arms race.

@ivory ember sounds like a spectaiclar idea may have to do something like that on MY server

#

@maiden kite what do you think, good idea?

paper ember
#

Interesting that the strongest alliance in a server can declare war on the entire server and no one can do anything about it. P2w players are given too much advantage compared to f2p who spend time grinding. Our server is losing ppl cause of these bully tactics. We need a server merge, not some lame excuse on why u can't.

copper girder
#

@paper ember you need a sustainable economy and new players. A server merge will only increase the amount of bullies...

pseudo dagger
#

Please double the mining rates of steel trit and dilithium.. I'm getting to hault because out going is more than the incoming. When I'm not mining t3 its trit to keep up with the repairs of the ship. Or better yet remove the caps from stations and let out factories continue to pump out resources leave the protection cap as it .

@merry current šŸ‘šŸ»

unreal aspen
#

The capacities are meant to encourage people to either hit other players, Hostiles or mine for those resources.

#

However, with that said, mining time is too ridiculous for most resources and fighting players and hostiles are not necessarily a reasonable way to get them either.

merry current
#

Well when you got a group of 6 or 7 alliances all of level 25 and up players nothing gets done when they decided to rule all by killing everything they can hit 24/7

unreal aspen
#

The time it takes to do mining or to hit miners for those resources are rather tedious and while it is 'nice' to send ships to mine, it is literally a chore to babysit them since there is literally no way to respond to attacks.

Stack that with the repair Bill's of done ships

@nova sierra and thank you for that

I admire the faith some people have that things can change, I just have not seen much evidence of their willingness to implement aside from the refinery. I am not leaving the game, I am just retiring my 'beat a dead horse +1' stick (upgraded through a purchase).

merry current
#

What needs to be done is taking the attack range and change it, the 3 up and down for the teen levels is good, but making that gap larger as you get bigger is a game breaking mistake

#

People in the 20s should not able to hit lower players period

#

My thoughts

unreal aspen
#

My belief is that the 'widening' the rage is their stopgap measure for the lack of armadas at the moment.

#

And to encourage buying of Peace Shields.

#

But it is obviously making competition too lopsided for higher end players or players putting out cash.

iron grail
#

what do the systems look like on your sever? ours look like bubble farms

#

or dead bases

unreal aspen
#

About that.

#

OR some poor schmuck who didn't remember to bubble getting hit GTA style.

merry current
#

In order to break up the super alliances of high end players, if you take away thier abilities to hit 8 or more levels below them they will have to fight each other

#

The teen levels fight each other, the 20s fight each other and so on

#

Better balance

iron grail
#

its a resource reallocation game at this point.

#

PvP rarely happens unless a higher level gets bored and clears a zone and a mini war breaks out.

unreal aspen
#

Actually, true, proper PvP is more about normalized combat. However, with strength disparities in the factors of 5+ multipliers... It ceases to be a pvp type deal and more of a 'rapefest'.

merry current
#

Right now during mining events and such I got 23s 24 and 25s coming in to g2 space and making all so they can lead the events

#

By locking all to a attack range if 3 levels restores balance

#

Or better yet base it of power

#

And not player level

iron grail
#

Also no indication of longevity, which could be solved with a road map (even if they didn't stick to it). Giving a community that seems to care an idea of where this is going can only help retention.

pseudo dagger
#

Let's be honest most bases are not worth hitting because majority of the server are broke. Yes there are a few that have millions to stored but rare. I find that its not worth the repair bill to knock a shield down for 100k trit all spend half that much and Latin just to knock the shields and destroy the ships. So let's face it we are all roaming around looking for dead bases to farm.

paper ember
#

@copper girder new players get eaten alive by older players unless they are willing to spend.

@paper ember that’s why I said you need a sustainable economy

tiny fulcrum
#

I think it would be pretty simple to level the playing field and make the game enjoyable.

  1. Make upgrade packs affordable I wouldn't mind supporting a lot more. Ultra packs should be $20, I would buy 2 or 3 a month instead of buying 0 and spending 0
  2. As @merry current said, base the attack range on 3 levels or power
  3. Increase the freaking refinery reward rates, more uncommon and remove the time limit, we are already limited by the time it takes to mine the RSS
  4. More PVE missions that are easy to find and don't require a "donation"
  5. Fix lots of bugs
#

Hands up how many people would buy ultra packs at $20?

You stated earlier that 24-hour shields would be given out for the next maintenance window. Is that still the case? Will these be automatic or sent as gifts?

You can totally ask here, our request is to try and keep it constructive criticism vs dumping salt.

The basis of the idea, which I've raised again with the devs, is lower price points and more options for mid to low spenders. Is that what you're referencing?

acoustic zenith
#

Basically yes. Would people like to see the lower price packs/offers recycle at regular intervals.

merry current
#

Well that and maybe balnaceing the combat so higher 20s cant hit the teens @calm root

#

And maybe change up the events a bit

acoustic zenith
#

Also when will they introduce a rss sharing system within alliances.

merry current
#

Different rewards and whole new events would be great

#

Oh and the refinery

#

Do I have to say any more about the refinery or is that enough?

acoustic zenith
#

The refinery is really hard work.

merry current
#

Either remove the timer or change drop rates on the refinery I say

calm root
#

What kind of event would you like to see @merry current ?

merry current
#

@calm root i would really have to think on what, but as for the current ones change up the rewards based on level and need

acoustic zenith
#

Reducing timer to 4 hrs would be helpful if not less

merry current
#

And make it so the higher levels have no incentive to blow up peeps on a g2 node

@calm root the mining event is really bad for that

#

@calm root but one I can think of right now is a base raiding event, there are lots of raiders

acoustic zenith
#

@merry current thats pvp I guess but its frustrating when a higher lvl just flies around hitting miners for points during a mining event.

merry current
#

Yes that is pvp, but I am more or less referring to the uptick during the mining event

acoustic zenith
#

Think we scared him off. Lol

merry current
#

Or he is trying to keep up lol

calm root
#

Lol nah. I'm hanging around, bunch of channels to watch haha

#

Do you guys get/do the surveys every so often?

acoustic zenith
#

Valid ideas though?

merry current
#

@calm root yes I have and filled it out meny times

acoustic zenith
#

Yes, every time. Same response...naff all.

tiny fulcrum
#

The ranking events should be leagued ie. being a lvl 24, there is no way I will ever come close to 1st position, however I would rank in the top 10 against other lvl 24, 25, 26

calm root
#

Oh totally valid ideas. I dig. Some of these I've suggested to the team about, but as we see new ideas or variations of older ideas we pass that along. Believe it or not, the developers do read through here on a regular basis because of all the cool and interesting ideas.

tiny fulcrum
#

do they?

#

Tech debt sprint! Remove Bugs, add tests!

acoustic zenith
#

@calm root honestly it's like trying to deal with the UK government atm. Blinkered, not interested and in denial of any issues.

calm root
#

The survey is pretty key for tracking of ideas on their end. I started a list of ideas in between surveys so that I could write all of them in there.

#

(Can't say I've heard the term blinkered before Haha, must be a UK thing eh?)

tiny fulcrum
#

Event idea... PVE missions

acoustic zenith
#

Doesn't feel like it. They deal with issues like glitches or minor problems but seem to have a real problem when it comes to financial matters.

tiny fulcrum
#

As in there are a set number of missions you have to do in order and it's ranked on whoever finishes the quickest, or the most missions in a day. Something like that, something that's not effected by timezones.

acoustic zenith
#

Blinkered. Yes. Like a cart horse. Can only look forward and won't be distracted from their goal.

tiny fulcrum
#

Just make sure we can actually find the missions

acoustic zenith
#

@tiny fulcrum good point. One thing I struggle with is finding lower level missions that I have missed. Maybe a little coloured dot where missions are available.

tiny fulcrum
#

@acoustic zenith Check out HiveMind

#

If you scroll up in the official announcements channel there's a link

#

!mission is what you're looking for

pallid peak
#

Totally get the surveys but after doing 3 of them and minimal improvements to the game I stopped wasting my time

acoustic zenith
#

Ok thanks

tiny fulcrum
#

I just keep filling in the same thing on the surveys... affordable upgrade packs and lvl limit

pallid peak
#

Time is better spent working to buy packs that do less and less as I progress šŸ˜‚

acoustic zenith
#

@tiny fulcrum cant find that section.

tiny fulcrum
#

I mean I would love to support the dev's but I can't bring myself to spend $55, would rather buy 2 Raspberry PII's and a few Arduino's

calm root
tiny fulcrum
#

@acoustic zenith Goto one of the HiveMind Channels at the botton ie hivemind-5 and then type !mission

acoustic zenith
#

Ok I will try

tiny fulcrum
#

It's helpful but good luck finding the systems in game

acoustic zenith
#

@tiny fulcrum holy cow! I didn't expect that.

merry current
#

@calm root I do think that some sort of in game icon of what systems have missions to pick up would be handy

tiny fulcrum
#

Or at the very least, clicking on a system shows you the available missions. That way you don't have to load all missions on the Galaxy map, which would probably cause lag

#

but you don't need to enter the each and every system

calm root
#

They did mention in the qna that the map is being revamped or improved. So maybe be within that

merry current
#

I was thinking more like how alliance members are seen on the galaxy map some kind of signal that says hey there is a mission here

#

Nothing fancy

#

@calm root yes I hope something is added is and when they tweak the map

proven breach
#

When your base gets attacked doesn't a temp shield usually go up ?

wicked jetty
#

its supposed to, as long as one hasnt gone up in the last 8 hours

proven breach
#

8 hrs ? Ok good to know. Seems I have to have permanent shields atm. Been mining tri for a mission and everyone seems to want a cut of it

#

Rebooting my earlier whinge:

@delicate sentinel @potent cipher When will Scopely do something about mines changing rss? In Karmia there are 3* crystal mines that change to dil when they are reset. And there is no guarantee that after becoming dil, it will revert back to 3* crystal.

It is incredibly frustrating, especially if you've been trying to do the right thing. Yesterday, I had a node that was dil 3 times consecutively before going to crystal. 😔😔😔

zenith urchin
#

It’s not an error. 2x dilithium reset, then 2x g3. It exists everywhere. There are mines that alternate crystal and ore or tritanium and g3.

#

It works well to not make people park their miners all day

next kayak
#

@potent cipher @delicate sentinel not sure if this has been brought up before, but higher lvl systems in Klingon space are just a joke - for example a lvl35 system that contains only g2 nodes

wheat oak
#

@next kayak This was supposed to have been fixed in the previous server update, but it wasn't šŸ™„

next kayak
#

There are probably a thousand things that Scopely was supposed to have fixed but... šŸ˜‰

mellow meteor
#

Level limit is a big concern and must be changed. It’s not a pvp when a lvl37 is hitting a lvl24. It’s hardly pvp when lvl37 hit a lvl34. Low lvl station with maxed ship docked don’t survive the first attack. Our server is nearly dead. Players quitting mostly because attacked and drained of rss and there was no way to defend. It’s getting to the point of requesting a full refund from the App Store. The game is not at all as described.

#

I thought you were supposed to be gamers. Why would you make a game so unbalanced and containing mistakes that similar games discovered years ago?

mellow meteor
#

Maybe these things should’ve been addressed before the game was released. Speaking to real gamers would’ve helped. Everything revolves around the player that spends the most. All events are planned for the same player to win every time. The highest lvl always ranks first. There little to no reason to even participate. You just make the strongest players even stronger with special crew and ships followed by an expanding level limit so they can’t get out of range of stations to destroy and drain. I could go on for days pointing out all things that make this anything but a pvp game

hasty plover
#

@mellow meteor It has to be greed. They want people to keep purchasing packs after getting raided so they will try and level up to keep up with d-bags with unlimited funds. There's no other explanation for it. Nearly every part of the overall game mechanic filters you into pay to play as you grow, just to keep from getting outright destroyed. We are having the same issues on our server, many people leaving (big and small players) because scopely is ignoring the big issues and slapping lipstick on the pig ( crappy and glitchy events ).

silk sable
#

Patch/update notes on official announcements? Pretty standard stuff.

rancid shard
#

So I’ve been playing a game, called astrokings. Not a patch on stfc, but many many great points of the gameplay can be looked at and replicated. Stfc in game currency is Latium, in Astro it’s gems. In stfc you get Latium for free sometimes from a chest 24/4/10mins. In Astro you get gems from leveling up and doing missions.

#

So it really drives player commitment to complete tasks and level up to get more gems to level up and do more missions.

#

They also have a system where an alliance can post a space station in the galaxy that prevents any other station from being within proximity. So essentially preventing a player to port next to a base and drain it. All players are notified if someone in the alliance is being raided.

#

And they can send a fleet of ships to help support against the raid.

mellow meteor
#

I don’t think greed is quite right. Other games follow that same principal with more balanced play and a fraction of the issues. When serious ones do arise they are dealt with immediately and players are compensated. This breeds longevity and attracts more players. Greed doesn’t chase players away

rancid shard
#

Graphics are bad but after three days of playing, the game system overall makes stfc very poor.

#

@mellow meteor lvl 37's can penetrate peace shields? Didnt know that...

charred gate
#

go to bed you troll

nova sierra
#

Lol

charred gate
#

šŸ˜›

nova sierra
#

No I have to get to lvl 37 now!

mellow meteor
#

Players are showing up to raid within one or two min of a shield going down. Pvp means you can’t shield all the time. When that lvl 37 can show up with a faction mining ship and crack the station and take two million rss with the first shot that’s hardly fair. The main point that seems to allude you is how can that lvl 24 retaliate if their station with docked ships can’t even defend against one attack?

nova sierra
#

Ok I wont derail, and I agree katana, the level range is bullshit

mellow meteor
#

I was informed last week that a lvl 49 can hit as far down as lvl 30.

nova sierra
#

Yes

#

Easy way to fix it would be if your base power as listed was your actual base power

#

But it's like 1/4 which makes 0 sense

mellow meteor
#

Level range is going backwards in my experience. It should closed to an eventual couple levels at most. So it doesn’t discourage lower level players progress.

charred gate
#

from a game theoretic perspective, at least with our server, if the pvp level range in the mid-high 30's was where it should rationally be, it would extremely limit who those players could actually interact with given the limited number of people in those levels

nova sierra
#

Well the game seems unfinished past lvl 37ish especially there is nothing to do for thier big spenders, bottom line

charred gate
#

it would greatly disincentivize those players from continuing to level until there were more players in their range

#

thereby curbing spending for their top spenders

nova sierra
#

Another easy fix would be to make base generators actually produce RSS so it wouldnt be such a big deal to get raided

charred gate
#

I don't see them narrowing the level gap until there are many more people in the 30's

nova sierra
#

But right now it's like, wtf am I gonna do with 250k dil when 1 repair takes 500k?

mellow meteor
#

Makes perfect sense if you assume the research boost aren’t being applied to the battle. Not really a stretch. What doesn’t make sense is once a station is destroyed the repair is reportedly to the defense platforms. Yet if the station goes unrepaired and is attacked all the defense platforms defend the station.

charred gate
#

yeah i agree about the generators, they are total bs

nova sierra
#

Ya that is bs because defense platforms have 1hp so wtf is there to repair?

#

Oh you just want me to waste millions of trit.....ok gotcha

mellow meteor
#

Nobody is going to make it to the thirties. The joke is starting to go around the there’s only going to be one alliance of players left with nobody to battle. It’s getting increasingly difficult to find an active base.

#

On our server

charred gate
#

you do see the problem that I have laid out for you though?

nova sierra
#

That's true, that's why they will start merging servers in the near future

charred gate
#

if level 37 could only punch down to like 32, the one 37 on our server would only have like what? 10 possible targets?

nova sierra
#

Ya 5 of which are in his alliance lol

charred gate
#

exactly

#

so the level gap is likely going to be adjusted as the progression dictates over time

#

the fact of the matter is that there has to be a reason to pay the kind of money it takes to get to 37, and given that there isnt some amazing new content to play with the only thing you have to do with that purchased power is smash people

nova sierra
#

Yep

mellow meteor
#

By the time they merge servers only the whales will remain. All mid level and ftp players will have long since quit. There are a lot of mid level spenders. Huge revenue chased away because they opened the range instead of closing it. All because the whales complain that the rest of the server isn’t keeping up and they can’t attack anyone.

charred gate
#

the top player on our server isnt even in the top 20 globally either... which is another big smh

#

the numbers i see from other servers destroy anything i've seen on ours

mellow meteor
#

If it doesn’t backfire. A comment like if they aren’t going to fix the game we might as well burn down the server is a real possibility. Thus ruining everyone gameplay. Those that are there because they’re fans.

outer widget
#

What level is your top player @charred gate ? Ours is 34-35 I believe

charred gate
#

37

#

well.. depends what you mean by top

#

he's the highest level

#

not the most power, he doesn't really pvp a ton either so he's not even ranked decently on the PD or rss raided boards

nova sierra
#

He is the most power...

charred gate
#

ok

#

i didn't remember

#

i haven't looked at it in a minute

mellow meteor
#

On Tuesday night three of the top alliances got together to launch an assault on the level 37 on our server. With two ships he was able to fend off easily over 50 players. Granted the majority of the high level players are in his alliance. Mostly for reason you can guess. But the rest of the big guns and mid levels were there and couldn’t put a dent in the station while he just flew around and picked off one ship after another like they were nothing

charred gate
#

@mellow meteor to your comment about not fixing the game, there certainly are legit issues, but the things you are talking about are more issues of perspective based where you are at and don't necessarily reflect gameplay experiences across the board

#

and if you wanna get trekkie on it, do you remember Wolf 359...sometimes a power is so great that it can destroy however many ships you wanna throw at it

#

the only solution to what you are saying is to ask a company that relies on a small subset of its gaming community for the majority of its funding to change the game in a way that would hurt that bottom line and its really just not very likely to happen

#

in my opinion, those who are paying the most are like the shareholders, and just like most companies, their primary duty is to the shareholders, not to people who are enjoying the product for free

#

and I say all of this as someone who is entirely f2p

mellow meteor
#

Okay. Would you like to address fixing too. I did say I could go on for days. First you have to define fix. Every time they release so called fixes, the issues remain unfixed and a whole new set of issues appears. What’s getting fixed. There’s a planet in one of the systems that players can’t be attacked. It’s been like that for a couple of months. The players enjoy a shield that never falls while they go around pillaging. Months is not a word that should accompany a serious issue like that

charred gate
#

@mellow meteor as I said, I agree that there are legit issues, and as far as bugs and glitches go, those do need to be fixed, and as much as i'd like to see it done faster, i'm not a programmer, and I don't know the complexity involved in fixing all of the issues

#

if it were as easy as pressing a button and poof its all fixed, I would have to assume that it would be done, I don't think there is some conspiracy that they are ignoring the problems

#

It has been my experience that usually the people who are complaining the most have the least experience in whatever field they are complaining about

mellow meteor
#

As someone in the mid spending range, and believe me it’s still a significant number where do I stand. Not everyone can spend like a whale. There has to be some accommodation for the other spending levels. Not take your money then aid the whale in crushing you

charred gate
#

this is one of the reasons that I have not spent since the 2nd week our server went live, because spending begets more spending and sets unreasonable expectations for progression and gameplay results. My base has never been successfully raided, and part of the reason is that the whales are all outside my level range because I knew I was not prepared to spend what it would take to stay competitive with them.

mellow meteor
#

Actually. It’s funny you say conspiracy. Jokingly I said in ac the other night that it’s almost like devs got together and bet if they made a game with a high profile name and filled it with all the mistakes and bugs they know, people would still spend massive amounts on it.

charred gate
#

certainly a funny notion to ponder, however not very likely given that these practices would ultimately leave them extremely vulnerable to lawsuits should evidence arise that they acted in bad faith to mislead their customers

#

there is already a class action lawsuit discord dedicated to that topic

#

the fact is that they really provided the game as is, made no claims as to what you should expect if you decide to spend money and as far as in app purchases go, they don't owe anyone anything beyond what is advertised in each pack

#

they aren't forcing anyone to pay anything

#

if you think you deserve to compete with the whales, you think that because you think that, not because its a realistic expectation based on claims made by Scopely or anyone else

mellow meteor
#

Foolish of me to assume that they would follow loosely the model of most of these games. The basics such as level range. Tiered reward levels in events. Or that I could trust when I scanned my station to see it’s power that it was actually that in battle.

charred gate
#

there are bugs and glitches which should be fixed, I am not arguing that, certain elements of the battle mechanics need to be worked out and many things are wonky, that is for sure

tiny fulcrum
#

@charred gate Sounds like you're a big spender. How many servers are there and how many whales are on those servers?

charred gate
#

lol, I am not a spender at all, I said and referenced several times that I am f2p

tiny fulcrum
#

We have maybe 10 big spenders, let's say they each spend $1000 a month, that's only $10 000

charred gate
#

I am merely applying logic to these issues

tiny fulcrum
#

1 developer is at least $3200 a month

#

Then you have overheads

#

server costs, support

wheat oak
#

$1000 a month is a conservative estimate of the top spender's outlay. More like 2000 (or 3k)

charred gate
#

absolutely

#

there are too many variables here to consider

tiny fulcrum
#

If you chase away all the mid lvl spenders, which is happening on all servers, the big spenders will also leave as there is nothing for them to do

charred gate
#

I don't know how many servers there are, I don't know the statistics of all of them, I don't know what constraints define a "whale" etc

mellow meteor
#

I’ve played many games like this. And I know what to expect and the level of involvement. Level range is there so your play your level. Not destroy everything below you because your almighty rich and powerful and obviously lacking some fulfillment in real life

charred gate
#

@mellow meteor It seems like your issues have more to do with your expectations and past experiences and include a fair amount of buyers remorse

tiny fulcrum
#

I've been playing since almost the official launch and I'm only lvl 24 and I am a mid spender, well was

#

because there is no reason to spend another cent in game

charred gate
#

@tiny fulcrum this goes back to my original point about the reason why the level range is so broad at the higher levels

mellow meteor
#

I also expect straightforward answers from support. Here’s a concept. How about some support. Not a line of bs that most of the time makes no sense

charred gate
#

@tiny fulcrum because if it wasn't, big spenders would have nothing to do

tiny fulcrum
#

As in any economy, it's the middle class that drive it

#

and the middle class have no power here.

mellow meteor
#

Want a perfect example. Defense platforms. How many different lines have you received as to why they don’t count in events or power creep? One is totally based on an inability to comprehend the English language. If this was intended there would be a clear cut answer that would make sense

#

Support doesn’t have the foggiest notion of what’s going on and just make up answers

tiny fulcrum
#

Bottom line is packs are way over priced meaning, big spenders will be big spenders but if you level the playing field with much more affordable packs, more people will upgrade faster giving the whales more targets while ensuring the f2p players can enjoy the game as well

#

I guess another BIG issue is I don't think the game is even developed to lvl 50 yet

charred gate
#

f2p inherently means free to play, meaning not spending. I have chosen on principle to play the game without spending any money to see how far I can progress, so affordability doesn't apply in my case as I wouldn't be buying them even if they were affordable

#

I am level 22, almost building capped at that level, research capped, and 780k power

#

and I've spent $150 since week 1 of the official release

mellow meteor
#

Pack pricing is on par with other games. The difference is in other games the packs change depending on level needs. These ones are half filled with useless crap. I haven’t needed 2* anything since December but every pack I buy is loaded with it

tiny fulcrum
#

So can you explain the hundreds of dead bases on all the servers, a far greater number of players don't see it from your perspective

charred gate
#

unreasonable expectations

#

people who spend money feel entitled

mellow meteor
#

Don’t expect to go any higher

tiny fulcrum
#

Yes, I am entitled because I spend money

#

it's the bases of money

#

It's why I spend it

mellow meteor
#

I don’t feel entitled. I don’t want to feel ripped off

charred gate
#

they also don't understand the game by and large, so when they get raided they feel it in their wallet and don't wanna do what it takes to recover from that, so they quit

tiny fulcrum
#

@mellow meteor That is entitlement, you are entitled to not be ripped off.

charred gate
#

if you are used to spending to speed thru the game, once that slows down, if you aren't willing to grind or actually play the game, you wont continue to play

#

spending begets spending

#

if you start spending you have to keep spending or else you have to slow down and play

#

if you arent used to the slow grind, it is very easy to be discouraged and quit

mellow meteor
#

We haven’t even touched on the hacks and cheats the the game is left exposed too. For example.

charred gate
#

it happens all the time

#

honestly, i'm really tired, and you raise some legitimate points, you have your expectations and my advise to you if you are dissatisfied with what you have gotten for your money, don't continue to give them your money and play the game, or don't.

#

I'm gonna continue to play, not pay, and see where that road takes me

tiny fulcrum
#

Nothing will change unless people supporting the game raise their concerns

mellow meteor
#

It’s also easy to get discouraged when you spend $500 and do a bunch of upgrades and moments after your shield drops, even if you’ve just moved, the top players have somehow found your station and in only a couple af hits have drained you

charred gate
#

I've gotten my money's worth out of the game... lol, so I think you've massively overpaid and now you're upset about it. I would seriously re-evaluate your spending habits... games used to cost a 1 time fee of like 40-60 bucks and that was that, how spending thousands somehow became reasonable to you people I will never know

#

in what way is this game worth $500 bucks? like explain to me how you thought that was a good decision in the first place?

#

let alone spending $40k to get to level 37?

#

i mean... come on now... lets get real

wheat oak
#

@charred gate Did I mention my obsessive-compulsive tendancies ;-P

charred gate
#

lol

mellow meteor
#

That I agree with. But I chock it down to my entertainment budget and I’m good with that. My spending habits have been the same in other games and I didn’t feel like I’d been robbed

tiny fulcrum
#

I bought the low priced pack's, tried one of the $50 packs and that was that

#

never again

mellow meteor
#

Those games delivered what they said they would

tiny fulcrum
#

I say the packs are over priced for what you get in them

#

the ultra pack would be worth about $20 to me.

charred gate
#

my advise, and I give this free of charge with no expectation that anyone would follow it, is stop expecting so much from a game that provides almost everything that it is at face value. If you enjoy playing the game, get used to grinding, find other people who are playing at your pace and enjoy the ride with them.

#

Stop spending too much money and then regretting it or feeling let down when there will always be people outspending you

mellow meteor
#

If I had an issue it was addressed immediately and if it was the fault of the company i was compensated. This game is none of that but you don’t find that out till it’s too late

tiny fulcrum
#

Good advice, except people are rather leaving

graceful berry
#

It's never too late to just walk away

tiny fulcrum
#

if the game becomes unprofitable it will get closed down

#

and then all your grinding will be for nothing

#

that advice is also free

charred gate
#

indeed its not, eventually the game will be left to the people who aren't spending and the few whales for whom money is seriously no object whatsoever

tiny fulcrum
#

You know what was also left to the people? Myspace

#

look how well that went

graceful berry
#

The whales are killing the game for themselves, if they drive off all the small fish there will be no one left for them to play with

charred gate
#

you spenders need a support group

mellow meteor
#

You don’t understand. There has always been bigger spenders. I don’t have any issue with that. I know how to manage what I have for maximum results. There are many traps you can fall into that waste so you have to buy more. I avoid those. I just don’t want to be lied too or feel cheated because I’m being cheated.

charred gate
#

maybe thats what this is and I accidentally stumbled into it

tiny fulcrum
#

You're a lone ranger @charred gate

charred gate
#

perhaps

#

but i'm not mad...and I enjoy playing the game... so I'm not really sure who's right or not, but I still have my money and I'm not raging against the man.

#

"the man"

tiny fulcrum
#

I have my time and time is money

#

"puts on philosophical hat"

mellow meteor
#

The event with the outrageous 2 mil power boss. I’m still fighting with support about. A couple of the vanished into thin air after many attacks and repairs and just as I was only a few attacks away from killing. I received no points or rewards and used a ton of rss. That’s getting ripped off

charred gate
#

time is in fact money, but i've enjoyed my time, and I actually like playing and grinding for materials and parts and thats what I do rather than attempt to buy upgrades

#

and at a certain point I will probably not have the time required to continue to advance and when that day comes I will probably just call it a day or find some other way to amuse myself in game

mellow meteor
#

Once you get to level 24 you have no choice but to buy. You will never get the uncommon and rare mats needed

charred gate
#

so that is probably where it stops then

#

there is no endgame, no big glorious adventure waiting for me at level 50

#

so there is no point to this game other than to play it as is

#

I will participate in events that allow me to capitalize on the bonus refinery etc, and progress as I am able

#

as I have always done

#

but if I quit playing, I will have no sense of having lost anything because I have gotten what I put into the game already.

mellow meteor
#

I have no issues with spend. I would spend more if the game wasn’t in ruin. They’ve created a situation where one player can completely dominate and if he chooses take down the entire server. Good job.

charred gate
#

had I invested $1000 or whatever amount, I would feel obligated to continue to pay/play to not accept the lost investment

placid rain
#

this is wrong

#

spending money in an e-game is not investment, it is for amusement purposes

#

therefore whatever you spend it is lost, it doesn't constitute an investment

charred gate
#

do these people seem amused to you?

placid rain
#

well if they aren't then 1. they should stop spending and/or 2. stop playing!

#

if that doesn't amuse them

#

it is a game, not a bond !

charred gate
#

I think you are correct, but I think that the people spending feel like they are investing in their ability to participate in whatever content is to come at higher levels

placid rain
#

unless you are a shareholder of course

charred gate
#

thats what i mean by investment

#

investment in your ability to take the game as far as it is possible to go

placid rain
#

again, this is not investment! lol

charred gate
#

which is a big question mark and ultimately a gamble at this point because there is no defined endpoint

placid rain
#

it is money spent for your hobby

#

when you go to the cinema and maybe you have a good time

#

is that invesment?

charred gate
#

well its not money spent for my hobby, because I don't spend money and I enjoy myself when I play

#

its theoretically an investment in your happiness

placid rain
#

if you buy shares and you can expect some money return on your money, that is investment 😃

charred gate
#

an investment in your well-being

placid rain
#

this is not called investment then šŸ˜‰

charred gate
#

your definition is obviously a very literal one

placid rain
#

that is why it is money spent

#

investment is something else

#

whereby you are doing it to have fun

#

if you don't, then scroll up a bit in my answers 😃

i fail to see how anyone spending money is having more fun than i am, simply adding a few numbers to the exact same process that I am experiencing

placid rain
#

exactly

#

that is why i haven't spend a cent

#

and not doing so in any mobile game

#

unless you buy it and you own it

#

but this is old school like me šŸ˜‰

charred gate
#

i am with you

#

anyway, the game is back up, gonna click some things and punch some buttons and then go to sleep

@cosmic knoll that made me laugh 😃

timber crypt
#

so i have this weird thing right, i'm alligning myself with the romulan faction and pissed off the federation quite a bit (viva la romulus!) buuuut i still need 3* gas, wouldn't it be more logical that in the faction store under romulan i'd be able to buy gas 3* and crystal 3* since they are in enemy areas than ore 3*(which i can mine safely) and crystal 3* (which is just confusing)?

@timber crypt I think they offer those for sale because, being your host faction, you will need far more refined materials for their ship upgrades. The idea being that you can focus more on mining the off faction materials in neutral zones while still refining faction resources at a cost of faction tokens.

#

But looking at buying any resources in the faction store is a bad idea. The faction ships require 200 credits for each blueprint for the lvl 28 ship so saving for them is wise.

@hearty elk i do get it partially, but why just the easiest one and one of the pain in the ass ones, it feels to me just odd. either do the primary which also seems sellable with the story "you know as romulan we mine a ******* load of ore that's why we sell it" and drop the "off" material or just do both off ones since they are a bloody pain to get

@delicate sentinel this is the top reward for lvl 29 limited time station event. Let’s break it down, the Parsteel is not worth mentioning, the Tritanium and Dilithium cover roughly 4 repairs of mayflower or 5 of my Saladin. The uncommons ... let’s just say that any building or research at my level requires between 2 and 20 times that much. How much does cost me to get that reward? I am going out on a limb here but I would say about 100M Parsteel could be enough maybe and at least 60-80 uncommons. Not considering the speedups or Latinum .... wouldn’t it be high time to balance this game so that it actually makes some sense?

#

All those daily and limited time events rewards are just "nice to have" extras for work you already want to do, IMHO.

#

I tend to hold off upgrades to station/research/ship/officers until there's an event on, then do the work and get some consolation for the cost.

#

i.e. do not compete unless you had stuff to do anyway

tiny fulcrum
#

On the topic of Limited Time Station events, how do you know how much a certain building will increase your power by?

mossy flint
#

you just go on a hunch and get the exact opposite points

copper girder
#

@wheat oak Thanks for the precious insight (I am being ironic of course). Would you care to point me at a reliable source of Parsteel that would give me the possibility to do upgrades? We are talking of 20-40M per building. In my server there are maybe 4-5 bases with that kind of steel and they are permanently shielded. Any other activity nets me order of magnitude less.

wheat oak
#

never fails

copper girder
#

So you are telling me we are "playing" at a slot machine where you never win.

#

and that my playstyle should be to buy a pack for every 3 buildings?

keen plinth
#

I like the new ship class symbols visible at all zoom levels. Now you can see who's mining with war ships easier and take them out.

carmine jay
#

Do you have latinum @copper girder ?

copper girder
#

A few thousands from the last packs I bought why?

carmine jay
#

Ok, well a trick I use to get steel if desperate is find the most expensive not upgraded building that requires steel and buy it by clicking the icon. Then use that to upgrade smaller buildings as its x3, x4 cheaper to buy in bulk.

Example, Ops 29 was like 25M or something, buy that for 2k lat and then upgrade the 4/5M buildings. Its not cheap but if lat rich is effective and better than speed ups if u are patient

@delicate sentinel So far, nice update, love what you did with the ui, the.shield icon and the ship identity icon, keep it up...

copper girder
#

@carmine jay nice find I will test it out

#

<@&509691205798592532> Do we have any timeline on patching the bug that allows bots to remove shields? We have kind of a mexican stand off on our server with people accusing each other of using bots

nova sierra
#

@copper girder We are collecting information regarding the issue, can you ask for them to collect what they have and send it to us? The more information we have, the better, and I for one would like to see de-escalation on your server while we investigate.

modest relic
#

The Asia server is so fcked because everyone is using bots. They know where you relocate to and exactly when your shield is about to drop.

nova sierra
#

Trust me. I have been working on it on my entire server ^_^

copper girder
#

Seems like the page is offline now for the famous one

#

I am spreading the news and trying to get solid info to relay here

modest relic
#

They can hide ships on your station that you can't target.

copper girder
#

@modest relic That you solve by having end to end encription in the comunication and allowing only digitally signed software to communicate with the server

modest relic
#

I hope they get there act together

#

Our Asia server is Plagued with cheaters

copper girder
#

If you keep a readable and accessible db of the internal state of the game or you have clear text communication you will always have bots like that

bold sentinel
#

Indeed

#

Some more detail needs to be put into official announcements. We were told the latest update will fix battle logs, spinning mines and login issues. What we actually got was new ship icons, updates to some screens/menus and a HUD peace shield button. A little transparency would go a long way.

lean hawk
#

on my server the broken nodes are working now

#

and i received the last battle logs, i think they are fixed

merry current
#

I think bob means on top of what fixes there will be as well the new things such as what we got today that he mentioned

dusky bison
#

Yes, thanks, Tyr!

lean hawk
#

Ah yeah sorry 😃

Anyone know how to get in touch with the game other than submit a ticket?

static sequoia
#

The developers may not get much positive feedback so I wanted to say I really like the ship type added to the level tags

merry current
#

Yes I do like that addtion

nova sierra
#

with new update, the useful help-bar under research and building progress disappeared. I hope that is a temporary problem because that bar was a very helpful tool.

unreal aspen
#

Start the clock - See how long before the broken nodes return.

#

already!!!!!!

unreal aspen
#

Screenshot it, or it didn't happen.

wraith totem
#

How do we use the badges to promote our officers?

#

Anyone figure that one out yet. Seems ridiculous to have through purchase but cant even use.

unreal aspen
#

Your Officers may need to be higher level/tier for those tokens.

little cradle
#

can we make an anti zevis channel here in discord? or would that overload the server?

nova sierra
#

Scopely would have to admit it exist to create a page in their sever

#

They have admitted it. It's being worked on

#

Ok here you go. 2 batch refining. I hit Ore last and got a connection error. Came back in and it was now unavailable so I have no idea what I got if anything. #

#

This is about right every time at level 34. I got 3 rare gas this morning

raven fossil
#

One of my goals is locate to a federation space. I have moved my base twice to a federation space and it still shows as a goal. Is this a bug?

plush bay
#

@delicate sentinel I think this is where we are man. So Scopely has a choice. Force people to pay to play the game or allow people to pay for creative stuff. If the former this will be a death march to the end. That’s not overstating. That’s just economics. When you get common occurring pulls like this at lvl 34 with the unreasonable requirements to fulfill things like I dunno. A cargo hold. You are burning good will. If they want to understand what the limits are you can do that. But that’s not A-B testing. That’s stupidity. You won’t create more whales this way for much longer. But maybe your sentiment analysis AI is so state of the art you are just going to smell your own armpit because lord knows it couldn’t possibly be biased $$$

nova sierra
#

There is a specific destination you have to travel to with a ship first. I did the same thing

@raven fossil

Here is what I am going to do to help you guys out. On my server I’m one of the higher levels. Top 5 power. I’m going to fkn kill everyone. That’s it. I’m just going to kill every player and ground them into sand. Let’s see who stays. Who pays and who adapts.

gritty sorrel
#

should be some changes to the ship pre reqs.........

#

i'm lvl 23 and have enough bp's to build kumari from grinding hostiles

#

but with the current system

#

by the time i finish the pre req's i already can build one + the bp for another which isnt practical building 2 kumaris

main pilot
#

Why did you take away the helper counter for research and builds????

drowsy sedge
#

@Panic Bellas on server 13 has two dead nodes that weren't there, I believe, before the latest update.

nova sierra
#

@main pilot which counter? Both are still there... Counter under current build and research and a counter for open help requests

wicked jetty
#

update your client magicalelf

nova sierra
#

I did

#

Yesterday

nova sierra
#

OH, weird

#

Wait...

#

Yes, i don't see those either. Weird, could have sworn they were there yesterday

nova sierra
#

@wicked jetty @nova sierra The app update removed the counters, but helps still work the same as they did before.

Please bring back the Alliance help tally, the information is needed and is very helpful to the game!

nova sierra
#

When are the spinning mines being fixed? Still got them on our server 🤣

nova sierra
#

please bring back the help-bars!! if you want to speed-up buildings and research for events, its very helpful to know how many help you already got!!

#

plaese add base attacking bug in fix list as soon as posible

copper girder
#

I am afraid the buff to mining will be still irrelevant for base resources. Nice for g3 mats though.

Feedback regarding the April 16th Update, could the Loyalty be moved to Daily Chest 3? In order to escape rushing blindly into where the superpowers can hit me, I have remained at Level 16 to rank up my ships and officers. As a result, I can only get 3 Daily Chests. I can get close to all 4 with the Federation Mining Dailies, but the killing ones are too high unless I level up. The only reason I am 16 right now was to get Jellyfish without money spent, took effort and patience.

copper girder
#

If you consider a lvl 30 player, even at 20k/hour Parsteel mining would be a joke when each upgrade is several millions, and Tritanium at 10k/hour when 1 ship repair costs you 200k is simply not relevant.

stray halo
#

@sage jacinth get over the Jelly. He is totaly useless unless you got it realy fast with money.

nova sierra
#

@delicate sentinel with the new vaults, does prime protection for resources still double the value?

tribal mason
#

@delicate sentinel
The april daily reward pack is on the store.... but why can't I buy the €20 and €50 packs???
It totally ridiculous you don't make all the packs available for all players... Give them a choise what they want to spent... in the end you lose money with this tactic. Please fix this

@delicate sentinel this update is shit. It's going to completely erase any benefit to raid bases, which is the best part of the game. I'll be going F2P from here on out.
