<@&509691205798592532> Please pass along a request to increase the number of faction credits that a player can obtain during a day. Right now I'm a level 24 player, Consort with Federation. I'm able to do 3 out of 4 daily tasks which would reward me with Federation credits. Currently I do not have ships strong enough to destroy 25 level 31 Romulan or Klingon hostiles. My best ship is a Vahklas, 165k strength. But it's repair costs and time render impossible for me to accomplish that daily task of destroying 25 level 31 hostiles.
I'm trying hard to aquire all the 100 Antares blueprints. But at the rate of 1 blueprint every 3 days I will need 300 days (10 months) to get them all. I do not dare to compute how many days I will need to aquire all the Saladin blueprints.
You will say that I should do more Federation quests. And normally I would agree with you. The problem is that I have found only quests that I can't do. I'm requested to reach some systems that require higher warp range (I can't reach those systems not even with Scotty on the bridge) or I'm required to destroy enemies many times stronger than me.
gentle goblet
@mint sedge you're only level 24, soon enough you will get your Kumari and will be able to kill the 25 lvl 31s, you can only build the antares at lvl 30... 😉
I was at the same situation as you btw, I only did 3/4 fed missions every day until I had my Kumari, now I'm up to about 15K fed credits, and that's after spending about 4-5K on officers, I'm now 27 and should be able to get a Saladin at 28, then start saving up for Antares 😃
mint sedge
@gentle goblet I have a level 5 Kumari. But with it I can destroy only one level 30 hostiles at a time. And after that I have to do repairs of about 5000 trittanium.
gentle goblet
yeah you need to level it up a bit first 😃
mint sedge
And I forgot to mention that hostile has to be an Explorer.
gentle goblet
At 25 if I kill only lvl31 explorers I still have about 1/3 hull left
I have to mix it with 32 on most days
mint sedge
And to get there you probably needed a lot of trittanium.
And a lot of gold for the parts.
gentle goblet
lol I saved up a lot of trit from the 1st act of war event (I was level 23 at the time) 😄
mint sedge
Now I'm struggling to reach 80k of trittanium.
gentle goblet
I think I got my Kumari to like 20 in a week from when I finally had it
then it took several more for 25
mint sedge
I see.
gentle goblet
are you doing the act of war event? I'm guessing even at 24 you should be able to get 2-3 trit tokens/day?
mint sedge
Yes, I am. I managed to complete the first stage of Solo event.
With my Northstar.
117k strength.
Its small cargo hold it's drawing me back.
I kill 3 level 22 Elite and I have to return to base.
The repair costs are 1300 trittanium for the Northstar.
gentle goblet
why? just keep killing until NS is dead
mint sedge
Then back into fight. And so on.
I try to do that for a time. The truth to be told is that I'm also needing the parsteel I can get from level 22 Elite.
gentle goblet
if you have the time to warp back & forth by all means do 😃
twilit slate
last Saturday I opened some Ultra chests and was awarded 35 Bones, but when i went to promote him I only had 93, so I logged a ticket, and almost a week later I get the "working as intended" response. REALLY?!?!?
Costs you nothing to just hand over what is clearly displayed as a reward, instead of screwing yet another player over. All other Officers correspond to what is displayed, just Bones is wrong, how hard is it to just give me the missing shards, the screenshot should be all the evidence required, irrespective of what the logs say.
You should be ashamed of yourselves Scopely
<@&509690795536941056> @nova sierra
gentle goblet
@twilit slate there's a UI glitch with the numbers shown in the open chests screen...
the 35 is probably correct while the 126 isn't... unless you remember how many shards you had before?
twilit slate
Only the one officer affected? Don't think so
If it is a glitch that is not my problem, it clearly shows what it should be

so do you know how many shards you had before opening the chests?

@delicate sentinel you should tell your dev team or managers that statistic don`t matter to show how good an event is or not. the statistic doesnt count the frustration of the player base. @[YouTube]RevDeuce thanks for the vid. the vid made it even more clear for me that scoply doesnt care about the community. the game is out for quite a while and still no major changes in refinery rates - you need to give us alot more than that, fluent progression in quest line and content, repair times (please dont say its a bullying issue since you can relocate at any given time plus shild), ship balancing (lol saladin - have one or be f.....), and major bugs like officer abilities etc.... Even packs still contain grade 2 parts and minerals when you are high level. i could continue about issues for hours, but none gets really solved @scoply. When are you gonna change that? Because this are some major issues that you should fix asap to engage all the people with the game. If you want to make money, which i completly understand, than be more creative. At the moment you (@scoply) fail the whole community.... Their will come a certain point when this things backfire.

@half saffron This is probably a little late in commenting on something you said back on 19 Jun, but anyways, maybe we should stop thinking Scopely might actually care about the harassment/bulling/threats/doxing done by some of their major pay for play players, that resulted in Hivemind going off-line, even when screen shots were provided, and start sending all that info to CBS, which are the holders of Star Trek license/rights, and let them know how Scopely is tarnishing and devaluing the Star Trek image. I think if CBS started getting the complaints and negative feedback, they might slap Scopely upside the head, and tell them to pull their head out of their a**, or they might pull Scopely's license to use the Star Trek universe, then Scopely would be up the proverbial Creek, with NO CASH COW.

Scopely - one of the basic rules of IT is that you make changes and announcements when there are people around to respond to queries, monitor the changes, and fix anything that's been broken by the change. You keep announcing changes at the weekend that are unpopular, beg a lot of questions and then give no way to follow up on them. It's ridiculous the announcement points people towards discord for further information before the mods even know a change is happening - please make sure someone informed is available in the future any time an annoucement or change is made.

The reward for actively engaging act of war. 20 k tokens per person. Say ive earne 60k so far does my difference include into the servers average and if not then the theory is flawed.. There are long idled players and those thats stoped playing entirely with inactive accts.. I would like to know before I start saying its unfair.. <@&509691205798592532>
surreal condor
- Does the average exclude dead/inactive players? A: yes it excludes dead/inactive player. To be considered active, they must have logged in during the event.
- Is the average based on higher level players or all? A: the average is based on active players in the server, but has been adjusted to take into account the fact that lower level players will not be collecting unless they level up.
- Will there be a progress tracker visible to players? A: no

@digital oar Saladin + Harrison is extremely strong right now. Saladin has a weapon that fires on round one and then not again until round 4; combines well with Harrison’s “first round” bonus
Most people don’t pay attention to ships’ weapon behavior that way. Centurion for example is good in long fights; has a weapon that doesn’t fire until round 4, but shoots every round after that (higher average damage per round for fights that go that long, like separatist bosses)
What’s really annoying is that you can’t see those details until you have the ship, and no one seems to list that info anywhere.
craggy egret
You need to stop this thing where trained fighters and bounty hunters hit your ships the second you arrive in a system. There needs to be a least a few seconds warning.

Mining rates are awful. In a horizon which has a dilithium mining bonus, using the officer which has a dilithium mining bonus and fully synergised crew, i mine at a rate of 2106 an hour. This means i need to mine for 3 hours just to pay for it's repair when some git decides to pop me . I can farm far better base raiding or even just killing hostiles, but i'm stuck doing this because some mission requires me to mine 100k. This stinks.

Doesn't look like it has anything to do with your report. Looks like somebody ss your chat and reported it.

@mellow fern That usually shows if you're found swearing, threatening or otherwise misbehaving via chat.
@mellow fern You can find other ways to contact support in #557163704383438850 should you want to ask them what it was exactly.

Yes I only wrote with that person who does account sharing. Hope he get a permanent ban. But I think he will not

If you provided definitive proof, chances are he's got a penalty too. But proving such a thing is quite hard.

Make sure your text is always appropriate even if they are being a hats

Yeah, the ban itself wouldn't really be a punishment if you got a shield given for the duration too.

They should really provide an 8 hr bubble for 8 hr bans and deduct it from the players shield stash if they have it.

Yes it is hard word to get 1 Mille tri and 5 mile PA without raiding others....

I'm not able to contact support ingame. I can enter a subject line but have no way to write in the text field itself to describe my problem. It worked before.
hallow pumice
@nova sierra yes they should, I haven't been banned, but I still think it's justified to give people who get banned a shield during the duration of their ban, unless it's permanent
nova sierra
@hallow pumice No they shouldn't. People should just not do things they shouldn't, plain and simple.
Zero tolerance. 👍
hallow pumice
Ok, so your giving them a extra punishment for something, and that something could also be false
nova sierra
No, it's part of the punishment. What could be false?
I think there's a poetic justice too, "So you've damaged the game experience of others - now you'll contribute to them.".
Serves them right.
But I'm biased - I've seen too much of what's going on to accept it. To be kind about it.
No no no no no. You ought to be happy it's just an 8hr ban with a chance of getting wrecked. If it were up to me.... 😂
hallow pumice
Well maybe how'd you like it if all your cash went down the drain
I know about people who have been banned for the wrong reason, and never should've been banned to begin with
craggy egret
I hate to say it but i actually agree with @nova sierra The real punishment for being banned is losing the ability to protect yourself and being open to attack. 8 hours could be a night's sleep or a workday, not really a huge punishment by itself, but having your base zeroed because you were a jerk to other players IS a punishment, albeit not always a big one.
Do people get friviolously reported and banned? probably. But it's probably far less common than those that get banned for legitimate reasons.
lucid warren
Some people have a lot of $$ in resources at times, I think it’s a bit harsh especially if it was a frivolous report.
craggy egret
That's something for the review team then. For many of us, as least on our server, those who have spent the most money are the biggest jerks to other players.
act right or lose it all. Sounds fair enough.
that's why we can take screenshots of misdeeds as proof.
lucid warren
I mean I’ve seen people get zeroed when they had hundreds of dollars worth of RSS. I have a problem when people think they can be arbiters of other people’s money.
craggy egret
I've seen that happen too, more often because of bugs related to shields, or forgetting to shield than frivolous bans.
lucid warren
Honestly if one loses rss due to a ban, that can be seen as damages caused by scopely. It is real and quantifiable.
craggy egret
Courts are arbiters of peoples money all the time.
lucid warren
Yes courts. Not crybaby teenagers
craggy egret
Scopely moderators act as the courts in this scenario. They set the code of conduct and they have the right to enforce it. Act in a civilized manner and you will get treated in a civlized manner. If something is wrong then appeal it.
lucid warren
Nah. The moderators are just random people, not really qualified to be arbiters of money in a legal setting.
Ban yes. Prolonged ban: refund money to have your bases covered
Repeated offenders. Perma ban
craggy egret
ok i mistyped, not the moderators but the support team, and they ARE qualified to be the arbiters in a legal setting.
lucid warren
I’m not saying it’s ok to act like a donkey, to be clear, but I’m not certain that allowing someone to lose all their money is fair, or justifiable, sorry. I agree with previous posts saying that the offender should be bubbles during the ban.
If there wasn’t so much real money involved, then I would not argue, but this game is very expensive for an ap game to be sure.
craggy egret
We will just have to disagree then. bubbles doesn't seem fair to me, there's no punishment there.
Yes it's an expensive game. It's up to you to protect your investment is all i'm saying.
The punishment is for legitimate offenders.
Yeah innocents are sometimes victims, but that's for support to sort out.
If there was a legitimate mistake refunds can be issued, it there's a legitimate crime, than they should lose something. That's all.
lucid warren
You are placing a lot of faith in support who at times have let some people down. And those mistakes cost people hundreds if not thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of play.
craggy egret
I didn't say I have faith in support. I'm just saying the real punishment needs to exist otherwise it's meaningless.
incompetance is another issue entirely.
lucid warren
We just disagree that a ban alone is a real punishment. You can fall behind or miss out on a lot of things in a month, or even 2 weeks. New officers, shards, ships etc. Thats not punishment? Those events can take months to roll back around.
hasty plover
When people conspire to get players banned on trumped up reasons for the purpose of raiding them, that in and of itself is a scary abuse of an already not the brightest support system. Which I have heard already happened to some players. Just my opinion. But I do agree, a ban should come with one of those shields that dont really work.
Well........the ones that support bots say is working as intended
For example, there's a guy on my server that I hit once in the last 5 months or so under fair pirate rules and claims he's going to file a false griefing report against me for one hit.
So you see how some can deserve it and some abuse the system to get their petty revenge.
💩
hallow pumice
@craggy egret they're not likely to issue refunds, that's why I don't think it's right for people to not get a shield out up when they're banned

@hallow pumice Yes - I know you're aware of people who have been banned 'for the wrong reason' and their 'truths' on other discord channels. I've seen you around. Yet here I am, ready to escalate issues about CS together with the other mods and we've yet to find a case where CS was not able to provide the unaltered and complete evidence to back up their judgement. But that's also because people barely ever contact us on these issues as they're well aware of the things they've said and done.
Admitting you were wrong however, just doesn't rile up the community as much as 'Scopelyed again' so I understand why people favor the latter. 🙄

It really does suck that you've gated the bonus refinery for the people still playing behind the people you've already driven away with this awful event. My entire alliance has completed the solo event every day, and our server still doesn't have it unlocked. The only reason can be that a large amount of players took one look at the event rewards and decided a week off playing something else would be more tempting. And now rather than deal with that, you're punishing each server for having people give up.

Very little after WR26, limited crystal, limited places to relocate your base, etc.
cursive finch
I understand. I didn’t dual faction and feel the pain
chrome thorn
A vast ... VAST swath of empty space.
There's no KLINGON equivalent to (38) Altanea in ROM territory. Where a player can plant his base and mine 10k Dilitium
No KLINGON version of (35) Aermea, with 8x 25k 3 star nodes
Definitely no (32) Izanagi equivalent in Klingon space.
Not that there NEEDS to be, but where's the advantage to going KLINGON? If Feds get TONS of gas and Roms get more rss scattered around what do the Klingons get?

@oblique ridge Because this is the first time I've heard of this - will update the graphic when I get a chance to. 😂 👍

@oblique ridge I checked your method and it entirely depends on what the game is doing as to where in the URL your serverID is located. Since that's inconsistent and I can't check each call to ensure the serverID is in all of them - the ship method seems to be the most reliable/consistent one.

Can't they have it set up that if you've depleted a mine and not moved in 30seconds your ship is automatically recalled to your base?

Rather automatically refresh the node after staying a certain amount on it. That way idle miner will mine more and people will come to kill them

You need to make it more difficult for stations to be attacked, when a 285000 can defeat a station over 400000 defense there is a problem. Please fix this
oblique ridge
no it's the strength displayed from outside which is wrong
When you attack a base without ship the actual strength will be shown in battle report
summer cave
A base's combat strength is about 40% of what the number shows on a scan
So a 400k strength base is really only about 160k combat strength and a 180k ship should win if no defenders
nova sierra
Correct, the strength numbers are completely off. Just look at the shield/hull health + weapon damage. It shouldn't be labeled that strength. UI bug.

When it costs hundreds of thousands in dilithium to upgrade a dilithium vault to protect 1/100000000th of what is spent over the life time of upgrades is seriously foolish.

Feels like it
nova sierra
When i do a 12k batch, the very least i expect is 1 uncommon. Lol at least you feel your making progress. When it is 0... 3 or 4 times in a row, you start to question wether the lottery refinery system is worth the grind. Esp when i need 520 of them for next ship upgrade.....
craggy egret
It is most definately NOT worth the grind. 80% of the uncommon materials i've gotten have been through events. If I were to rely only on the refinery I would never have made it past level 14 and all my ships would never make it past tier 3.
The few bonus refinerys have given a boost, but everyone gets it so nothing really changes, everyone gets a slight power boost by being able to do one, maybe two upgrades, but relative power levels between players remains roughly the same.
Realistically, it's almost not worth it to even bother mining for the refinery. The only real reason to mine is for the daily missions. D those and get out quickly and you might do ok.

<@&509690795536941056> I posted about Ferraria on server 27 and how the nodes are respawning in random places after being exhausted. I REALLY LIKE THIS. Please update the other systems to do this too! It will help ensure that once a node is exhausted, other people get a chance to snag the new node. In general good for all players on the server, I think. 👍
Also please consider giving deeper warp nodes faster mining rates, similar to Augment space, to incentivize higher level players to move to deeper space and leave the lower warp zones to those who have no choice but to mine there.
It doesn't have to be significantly higher rates, but some increase will be better than none IMO.

@chrome thorn <@&509690795536941056> This right here!! People have played or paid for the privelege to get the hell outta the chaos in sub 40 space, but there is really nothing in high level space that would keep from having to do a 25 minute warp just to get out there and mine. No planets to anchor to.
storm hornet
<@&509690795536941056> please consider removing dead bases after a few days on inactivity. On server 27 in Rator the top alliance has started having their players retire their bases around those planets to block them from use by others. So when a player is going to quit the game, they move there and then quit. There are bases that have been abandoned for weeks. They serve no purpose except to make it harder for others to raid the players in that system.
This is dumb.
When your base gets broken, if you don't login within a few days, your base should be automatically moved to a level 1 system where you won't block anyone who actually wants to play the game.

@haughty iris
- The game feels like beta and we like beta-testers. The math and economy is not fleshed out well, quests changing is proof, too many game breaking bugs, not working stuff Scopely even charges for (officers, ships,repairs,..).
- The customer service is garbage. Excuses to not refund or rectify issues caused by game bugs.
- Slow development of game. Feels like 1 developer is working on all the issues.
- The game seems to have limited time-span. It gets proggresivelly more expensive or grindy to progress into non-existent content. Not a sustainable game model, playing the game is like driving a car that gets worse gas mileage the more you drive. Most people quit because of it around lvl28. Basically you are required to do twice the work, but get like 10% more rewards.
- Very large PvP brackets and a game design that suits p2w bullies too much.

@haughty iris
1). Insufficient number of 3 star nodes. Despite a dwindling player base, these things are occupied over 99% of the time. Wars have started over this stupidly limited resource more so than anything else. I would venture to say the frustration of trying to mine G3 materials probably has lead to a lot of people quitting. For a majority of players, a majority of their time is spent obtaining, resetting and defending G3 nodes. A sizable portion of alliance chat is probably dedicated to talk about G3 nodes (whether it be trading them, or who hit who, what have you). It’s a shame that the most in your face aspect of the game is the least fun.
2). 2/3 of the accessible map is useless. If I recall correctly, it took me less than a week to get from level 1 to 10. It shocked me just how much of the map was level 10 systems and below. I spent 2-3 weeks playing in such a huge expanse of space and now for half a year I’ve been sitting in the same confined area visiting the same systems over and over again.
3). Whether it be new content or bug fixes, game content has been glacially slow to come out.
4). Communication has been terrible. I admire their attempt to do AMAs, but I think most players would prefer a schedule of next weeks planned events.
5). PvP has been so asymmetrical to date, it is astonishing. I get crushed by people so far above me, I stand no chance of ever even being an annoyance to them. At the same time I am allowed to squash people so far below me that they barely dent my ship when I crack their base with a full complement of ships at home. I feel so sorry for people just starting the game. They won’t stand a chance once they hit a certain level.

@forest cloak I don't think the number of nodes is the core issue, I'd say it's the game math/economy that I speak of in my first point 5 posts above. If the rafinery would work better, or dailies requiring not that much, nodes mining rates higher, uncommon costs lower etc. not so many nodes would be no problem. It's the bottleneck everyone needs to grind for, this is making the game a mining simulator. More nodes would make the mining easier, but not change the issue, it would still be a mining simulator, but just easier to play.

Yupp, every server seems to have that issue
forest cloak
@dense canyon there are a lot of things that could be done. I personally don’t have a problem with the refinery rates other than the rare drop rate (it is near impossible to take a ship from T7-T8 at the current rare drop rate). I’m sitting on 3M raw G3, so mining rate doesn’t seem to be the issue. My issue is sometimes it takes me hours to find an open node of the type I’m looking for unless I decide to take one from another player. Node hunting is not fun for me. I’d rather plant my miners without issue and spend my game time doing something else.
dense canyon
@forest cloak Then why have mining G3 in the game at all? If all you did was just to click to send a ship to some node and then recall to collect you could have a generator for that inside station and it would be the same. Sitting on 3M raw and having not enough refined points in the direction of refinery bottleneck, which makes your mining not rewarding enough, because you are mining just to get repetitive dailies done because adding more to the 3M stockpile is useless.
forest cloak
Meh, I have a bizarre work schedule, so hoarding helps me through those times when I can’t play much. It’s also is nice to be able to triple refine during bonus refinery events. I’m not quite sure what you are trying to convince me of. I’m not exactly asking for the moon, I just want there to be enough nodes that if you get griefed it’s not a big deal and if a lvl 14 is discovered mining G3, people don’t feel the need to lose their shit on these boards.

Repair times are still horrible. 3 hour repairs for ships is not playing. We are not all wallet warrioring our way to victory and let's face it spending speed ups isn't gameplay, it's a shoddy device designed to frustrate and drive away those unwilling to spend.
proper tusk
I have couple of sugestions:
- Give some thought about making 'drop out of warp' button so if i pres return by accident I don't need to wait 8min to resend and another 8 for my ship to come back.
- Uncomon and rare matetial rafinery production is aweful.. concider doubling this rate.
- For ages players had issues about game beeing buggy when ships come in to system... please try to make this right.
- Regarding buying packs: try to make them more up to date. We do not need any ** materials any more...
- Reduce repare time for at least 40-50%
Thank you for at least thinking about these propositions.
Now what's good... new interface uodates are cool... you had good packs for purchase in offer last couple of weeks... good move making some events for faction ships blueprints.
All in all good work but there is room for much improvement.

General Feedback: Please fix your game, Scopely.
nova sierra
People continue to put money in this game, so why fix this? 😂🤣
nova sierra
@dry spade This isn't pre-school, they're not going to put you in a corner for a time-out. Allowing everyone to hit your base is the punishment.
hasty plover
@nova sierra You didn't read that article did you. People abuse the autoban ( which does not take in to acount any actual bannable offense) to knock someone off line for the specific purpose of raiding them. Punishment response is BS. This is a problem that needs fixed.
craggy egret
@solemn coral I suggest whoever posted that thread as well as the folks who claimed to use that exploit be banned if possible and the link to that post be removed from discord immediately. @ripe oak You need to remove that link, it actively describes how to use and exploit and is a violation of TOS, or if not, it should be.
@delicate sentinel
hasty plover
Sure and there is no scopely support either... at least from what I experienced. 😃
ripe oak
Until there is an official answer to it , I’m not buying it.
mild hemlock
@delicate sentinel thanks for the addition of the aux, section 31 & Rom patriots crew. Still, there seems to be some officers missing. Harrison & Zhou from Section 31 and the others from Rom Patriots, Blood & Honour and the Shakedown Cruise groups. Can we expect them to be added too?
hasty plover
@delicate sentinel Where are the Augment Hijacked ships? Gonna milk us for another event?
nova sierra
There is no autoban. But 100 people reporting a single message surly flags up quicker.... then say 1 person flaging 1 message 🤣
nova sierra
@nova sierra Still a human making the call - so as long as you're not saying anything that's against the rules; you're safe.
solemn coral
again, and consider this official, THERE IS NO AUTOBAN FEATURE IN THE CLIENT, THE 'EXPLOIT' DESCRIBED IS INVALID
got it ?
you can click that button as much as you want, there will be no automatic bans issued, feel free to test it
every action sanctioning a user has to be checked and double checked by humans before being issued
exactly in order to prevent abuse like you think is happening now
nova sierra
@ripe oak @hasty plover @craggy egret @nova sierra Now let's put this thing to rest. 👍
hasty plover
So there is NO ban BEFORE a HUMAN checks it correct? If that's the case then great!

Can we get a reliable way to close the mission slide out? "Upgrade Operations to Level XX GO" is great and all but when it's just sitting there it's a waste of UI space
Feedback
If a system finds itself to have 80% or more of the same type (pending what's in that system)/level of ship, it naturally warps some of those away for other types/levels.
copper girder
It would be great to be able to disable double click warping, I think I wasted several days if I cumulated all the travel time of accidental warps while just scrolling or using the UI .... It's incredibly irritating

When is Refinery conversion ratio of resources change to something more weighted rather than "chance" <@&509690795536941056> @delicate sentinel @nova sierra @solemn coral ?
gentle goblet
probably never?
snow marsh
😇😇
solemn coral
I did propose fixed output... but thats probably not gonna happen
dna manipulated rngesus remains king
nova sierra
i suggested a common, uncommon and rare pull, got shot down
storm hornet
It's definitely disheartening to get zero results. Especially multiple zeros in a row.
That's why random is not a good algorithm.
It's randomly horrible.
There should be a higher minimum and a lower maximum so people get consistent results.
Some chance is fine, extreme random chance is a lazy way to implement.
solemn coral
should as in, should be according to your opinion and perhaps of a lot of players, however, the other side thinks different
and trying to influence it seems to be above our paygrade, so sorry
storm hornet
Should according to my opinion, yes.
solemn coral
just wait for another bunch of planned changes in refinery output, as keenser said, it will change multiple times during the next months
until now, I am aware of 2 or 3 changes since his promise
storm hornet
And every other player who had voiced an opinion, I think? Has there been even one person who had ever posted and said "yay! I got 3 zeros in a row, I'm so happy!" ??
solemn coral
read what I said Xist
storm hornet
Yeah I'm glad they're working on it
solemn coral
I already said: lots of players
storm hornet
Just saying I think they need to reduce the degree to which it's random in a hopefully not too distant update, and it seems like you agree.
solemn coral
we all would love 100 rare on every refining turn just to move on quicker in the game
storm hornet
That's not what I'm talking about
solemn coral
but it would defeat naming it rare to begin with
same for uncommon, it shouldn't be given on every refining
nova sierra
whats the system they use in Clash Royal, you basically open your chests in a pre determined cycle, you are guranteed a certain amount of epic/rare/legendary draws just the order is randomised each cycle
solemn coral
despite you would love if it did
storm hornet
I don't think anybody is saying every one should contain rare or UC.
Only that there shouldn't be so many zeros in a row.
solemn coral
I think you still get my point
storm hornet
Some zeros, fine.
solemn coral
I haven't gotten ANY rares through refinery yet, and I don't complain
the output of uncommons for g3 even common, is low, yet, I don't care
I just live with it and move on
storm hornet
Perhaps that's why scopely made you a mod. 😎
solemn coral
uhm no
perhaps I look different and more calm at some stuff
but I also have topics that I furiously chase
storm hornet
Fair enough.
solemn coral
my motto, and I can repeat it day in and day out: paying is for the impatient
so much about all those statements about scopely hunting your money
storm hornet
I don't think it's fair to discount the idea of "too many zeros is bad" on the basis of "can't have 500 rares per refine" though. It's not at all the same thing.
solemn coral
ofcourse they do, thats the case with every 'free' app providing in game purchases
money IS the priority, without it, the game would not exist
if you can't gain money from a game you release as publisher, it's a lost case and is likely to be abandoned
every decision about changes is tested on changes it might cause to the games, and the publishers income, the effect it might have on the game and eventual positive result on the player are secondary concerns
if you fail to see that, you failed at economics
storm hornet
That is the thing people don't like. The players should be the primary concern and the money second. The money has to exist, but making poor game decisions for the express purpose of milking the players is not how you get return customers and a successful long term business. And if you fail to see that, then you fail at understanding business.
solemn coral
they got millions of players spread across a couple of games divided over hundreds of servers, and they've been doing it for over 6 years this way
it will be hard to change their course
why change if the money flows ?
storm hornet
Integrity. Reputation. A long term outlook rather than sort term. But I can't argue that they've been successful at extracting money from people. I can argue they've alienated a huge percentage of their players and they'd make more money in the long term if they cared about that.
But it's impossible to prove either way.
solemn coral
yes, I agree,that players should come first in order to guarantee a steady flow on the long term, but not every marketeer thinks the same
suggested to them to lower the prices of packs for a certain period to monitor the moneyflow if it in the end increased, showing that lower pack prices will result in more income
but in such cases, you more feel like al gore chasing manbearpig
storm hornet
This is why I suggest doing away with pure random chance. All that does is upset people who get lots of zeros in a row. Instead, reduce the maximum and increase the minimum. The net result is the same but people get more consistent results. Zero effect on Scopely's income, major positive effect on their players.
solemn coral
I suggest to talk to @nova sierra about it
hallow pumice
@solemn coral I've gotten 1 rare and I'm level 23, I should've gotten a lot more, from the refinery, I'd say at least 10, it's rare, not legendary
solemn coral
if he has time besides all his meetings and travelling across the big pond all the time, he'll read and answer
@hallow pumice it's relative 😛
we say, packs are expensive, they say, they are fine as it is
from there, relate to other stuff
hallow pumice
Yes packs are expensive they should cost $20 at the most, not $100
solemn coral
well, it's simple
hallow pumice
I think more people wouldnt mind spending $20 than $100
solemn coral
either get patience, or pay the price 😛
hallow pumice
There's a reason it's called MICRO-transactions
solemn coral
they started as micro, but as with everything, prices soar
and everyone needs to spend, wants to earn more
hallow pumice
Your not supposed to notice the spending add up, by spending $5 here or there occasionally
There's a reason this game isn't getting as much money as other mobile games
solemn coral
and in regards to prices, I've seen simpler games that even charge comparibly more money
hallow pumice
Well tell me how they stack up on income earned
I doubt stfc is high up on the money gross list in the Google play store
storm hornet
Idk man I've read they've billed 100s of millions
hallow pumice
Why do I doubt that??
storm hornet
Seems like they are doing well on income, they just need to work on improving the game

dusty portal
There needs to be a change on how you get attacked when entering hostile space. Who has time to babysit their ship as it navigates 10+ minutes across the galaxy so it doesn’t die after coming out of warp.
nova sierra
@dusty portal time your miner to arrive withon 20 seconds of another ship. Your miner will then be free to mine, and you can just withdraw your support ship
craggy egret
Faction hunt was garbage, nigh impossible to complete even one faction for most people. Aow was fantastic no one had any problems completing it once the whales were finished. Current event...not even worth looking at.
dusty portal
@nova sierra than you, I’m familiar with sending two ships. The first ship would die unless I’m there to watch it come out of the warp. My complaint is that on a 10+ minute travel, I have to watch the timer. I can’t send and walk away or send and lock my device
craggy egret
@dusty portal just send a really cheap ship that you don't mind getting killed and it's all good.
I tend to use phindra as the sacrificial ship.
hallow pumice
Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice @craggy egret
craggy egret
yup
hallow pumice
That's what the temple is for
dusty portal
@craggy egret I can do that yes, just seems like a poorly though out game mechanic, ideally it wouldn’t trigger till you moved your ship in the system
lilac saffron
it's a game of patience not idle heros
dusty portal
I was able to complete all three faction hunts, the sweet spot appears to be level 25 where faction ships three levels higher than your level will give you 20 points per kill. When you go up to 26 that difference increases to four levels
lilac saffron
it was fairly easy for me, just a bit time consuming, only had to repair 4 times for all 3. i'm lvl 26 btw
dusty portal
I was 25 when they ran it last time, just became 26 when the most recent started
Given the distance travelled, to deal with the hostile faction hunter I would need my sacrifice to be an envoy or ns for warp range.
tranquil pelican
Anybody else noticed the "permanent" increase in refinery, ain't??? We got our upgrade day 2,so qualified & yet... Backwards we go. Again...

@tranquil pelican the uncommon drops were buffed by +1

Ain't seen a single rare since event finished, how many wheels ago?
Weeks
My server 193

They didn't increase the chance, just the quantity when it does happen
It wasn't much of a buff
tranquil pelican
OK, next Q. 5 1/2 months without a single "blood n hounor" group shard... Wheel gets "fixed" I get 4 in same day. Dumping junk shards during event? How is that a "random drop ratio" wish I got 4 epic kirk shards in 1 EVENT, BUT IN 1 DAY??? Rainbows & Unicorns???
vital herald
What’s the best crew to use for kumari?
forest cloak
@vital herald #🤝-help-each-other is most likely the best place for a question like that. Now as for your question, most crew is dependent on what you are doing as opposed to what ship you have. More information is definitely helpful in answering “best crew” questions. Are you killing hostiles 4 levels above you for an event, are you mass grinding weak hostiles, are you trying to PvP, are you trying to crack bases?
solemn coral
are you trying to defend your base, are you focussing on mining....

I DIDN'T GET A NOTIFICATION THAT MY STATION HAD BEEN ATTACKED FOR OVER HALF AN HOUR! That's ridiculous! Where I would have only lost a very small fraction of resources, i wound up loosing over half of what I had!

Hello
dense canyon
@crystal aurora use the search function, works pretty well for me to find what I need
outer blade
Scopely, you have created a game of bullying where high level players can specifically target lower level players and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it.
craggy egret
@mossy pond unfortunately, people tend to mostly hit the lowest level players that they can because it costs them the least. It's how the game was designed and it's not likely to change. The only things I can suggest are to move your base to less desireable systems and use shields whenever you have a significant amount worth stealing.
nova sierra
@nova sierra maybe collect all the useful tidbits of information, assemble them on one discord server and....oh I don't know...maybe have a bot spit out the bit you need on request?....oh...riiiight...nvm
solemn coral
so the search button discord provides ain't good enough ?
as Jerryno already pointed out
@outer blade they can, it's called using a shield
nova sierra
Search function is arse compared to hivemind
azure holly
Lucky that LCARS was in development for the last couple of months in private BETA ... we're open to all and will be surfacing new commands from next week as our community-sourced data builds ... all are welcome to help 😃
hollow pike
@solemn coral So many people seem to have an aversion to using shields and complain that they are being “bullied” when they are inevitably attacked. Shield up unless you’re hitting someone yourself. It’s not a difficult concept.
outer blade
Is not the base I'm talking about. It's ships. A level 28 player is targeting my ships whenever I go out. He doesn't hit my base. He destroys my ships. The only ship I can take our is his weakest miner. It's not about relocating because I need 3* rss, gas to be specific. There are only so many systems which have that. And in all of them my miners get taken out by him. If I'm lucky I'll get half a daily in. Can't really do anything about that
azure holly
Focus elsewhere until he looses interest
outer blade
Did that, made for really slow progress. Came back two weeks later to try to mine again normally, get blown up repeatedly.
As I said, this game is designed to bully, strong over weak. Too many children points make it impossible to get away
Choke*
azure holly
you have any big hitters? get them to stalk his base and then you mine ... he hit you, they hit him
outer blade
Been trying that, but as people have said, bubble up. He literally hits me and bubbles again. I have yet to see him on where his pants are down and we can actually hit him.
azure holly
there is that 5to 10 second window ... plenty of time to hit him
outer blade
Not when he has 10 minutes to set a shield. Doesn't do much
solemn coral
gear up
azure holly
I know but hit him enough times he will stop ... the other way is for warships to guard while you mine ...
outer blade
All I can do is harass all the miners of his alliance and hope they get him to stop, which is adick move itself
azure holly
I miss the BETA days when you could mine G2 and refine into G3
outer blade
You mean the warships he kills in one shot then kills my miner?
solemn coral
you don't miss harrisons ability ? 😃
outer blade
We're not equal levels here. That's why I can't win
azure holly
if you have big hitters, then he will get pummeled trying
that too!
and the mining rates
and the drops from reds
and my old faction ships lost in the merge
and the nerfed warp ranges

azure holly
yes on search, db was hand created ... all fixed if any others
hollow pike
@outer blade why doesn’t your entire alliance just make him a kill on sight target? Disrupt his gameplay as much as possible till he learns to wind his neck back in. If you have allied alliances ask them to do the same.
azure holly
@solemn coral yep ... that was one with the same hand typed typo
solemn coral
also the reason it didn't show up in the res list for g4 crystal ?
which is how I found out it was missing in the first place
hollow pike
There are G4 resources in the game? Thought they hadn’t been made available yet (not that I’ll be needing them anytime soo).
*soon
outer blade
We did that, hit him a bunch, still didn't make a difference. You spend enough and can just lauh your way through attacks
azure holly
can you reach deep space?
hollow pike
That to me @azure holly ? If so, the furthest I can go is warp 45 and that’s only the past day or two
azure holly
So you can reach Haakona (45) or Bolarus (45) or Balduk (44) ?
these are the entry points into dark space
hollow pike
Possibly? Been focussed on the event, haven’t gone exploring yet. Will try those areas you’ve mentioned. Thx for the tip 👍
Even if there’s nothing I can do there, it’s always nice to open up new areas.
azure holly
you need to find the deep space mission to get past those systems as they are locked
hollow pike
Yay, something to do 🥳

@solemn coral System is there, not that many, if any need it ... Sending a guy to survey it to confirm information before updating

nova sierra
Hey devs, here's a double issue. You have it set where a lvl 33 can hit a lvl 21 but yet a lvl 24 cant hit a lvl 14, why? It is bull that you say we are able to attack +/-5 lvl when that happens. If a lvl 14 is mining g3 rss when they can't even refine it then the minute they deplete a node they ahould still be fair game just like everyone else not be able to stay on a g3 node for days on end with it depleted amd no one is able to do anything about it especially since us higher lvls (19+) are needing it for faction mining dailies
gentle goblet
@nova sierra find a lvl17 to take him out
nova sierra
Have done so but it doesnt truly deter anything
cunning scarab
I mine g3 for my faction daily at level 14
regal loom
I also mined g3 for faction dailies at ops14
Always maintain relations with players across the power spectrum so you can bring force anywhere it is needed. In this case, getting a lv17 to clear the node. It’s healthy for a social game.
cosmic idol
@gentle goblet level 14 can't even refine 3* until level 20
thorn nexus
19 levelled can already perform daily tasks at 1500. It cannot be processed, but the relationship with the factions can already improve.
On the early levels, including 14, there is a task to extract all three types of resources 3*.
gentle goblet
@cosmic idol no, but they can complete faction dailies and stock up raw g3
regal loom
Right. Faction dailies yield credits, tokens, and faction points. It’s worth it even at 14.
[PSA: dual faction FTW]
Now, whether or not we should have 14s doing faction dailies is another question entirely. It could make sense to level cap either g3 mining, or faction dailies in general, with a singular goal of optimizing node utilization.
Then again there’s also something cool about the openness of the game creating this problem / opportunity. Now the lower level players have something to offer in social trade scenarios.

Level 11 with 200+ battleship 1* parts and nothing to do with them. Let me trade them for (insert anything) speed up is my idea. Maybe like 200= 30min boost. Or 100=30min speed boost.
TLDR: trade parts you can’t use for ANYTHING you can use.
ancient knot
@solemn coral This is the problem with this game, you are all too worried with peoples words rather than fixing the problems people have in the game. I have reached out to the customer service and the best thing they can come up with is make sure ALL other apps are not running on my mobile device while playing this game.
I apologize for using a word that offends people's sensitive eyes, so now its time for Scopey to apologize to all the players that they have failed to support.

Enemy fighter spawn on top of my ship as soon as i enter like 3 times, the forth time was i went to kill a miner that was OC and a fighter spawn on top of me fighting that mine pfff
that rng spawn is not nice at all 😦
please make the enemy fighter spawn on the opposite side of the warship/ miner that enters the system ^^
ancient knot
@humble heath this is exactly what I am talking about but the horrid responses from scopely ranged from its as intended, to you know they are slower and you can outrun them, to well the server time is messed up and you need to stop running all other apps. The fact that they offered such an elaborate work around to me proves that they have been once again aware of a problem and not willing/able to fix it.
humble heath
i don;t like to spend 3h waiting for my kumi to get fix cause of this or wasting lat or speed ups on this 😦
gentle goblet
@humble heath do you send your ship to the edge of the system or where?
humble heath
not all the time
if i have a miner to kill send next to it, or if i have to do dailies some times i just click the system and click send
haven;t gotten a fighter spawn on top of my kumi in over 2 weeks atm
gentle goblet
hrm always send to the edge of the system, then wait for the hunter to spawn 😃
humble heath
their spawn is random
gentle goblet
otherwise you risk that either the hunter spawn on top of your ship, or your ship just fly to them
humble heath
some times they are very very close, other time other side and so on
i always click to see my ship when i enter enemy turf
gentle goblet
yeah but if you go close to the edge and wait the 10s you will always have enough time to avoid them
humble heath
and steer it as it enters :)))
gentle goblet
if your ship is already on the way to somewhere in the system you might not be quick enough
solemn coral
@ancient knot thats not my task
but I am cooking stuff to make things easier here
THAT i can attempt
ancient knot
I have lost all confidence in the support for this game. You can cook all you want but i know there is a huge exodus from my server coming and i will be part of it. The sad thing is that i wanted to look past some of these issues with the hopes that scopely would fix them. Yet all they ever do is release another duplicate event and say look over here.
We still have broken nodes on our server and scopely hasnt fixed them. All they did was remove some of the working nodes.
They know of the hostile fighter issue but have they fixed it? Nope. Just like the invincible planet for stations. They sit on these issues without fixing them just to give us yet another poor update of fixes for things that are not priority.
nova sierra
Jup. Scopely only wants our money, and I surely won't give any for this *very nice game
If nobody paid, they had to fix. But as long there are credit card warriors, there won't be a change because they get well paid
ancient knot
Case in point. Scopely just release the client update notes. What are they gonna fix? They are making the battle visuals more unique!! Come on at least try to fix something.
Oh and @nova sierra u might wanna remove the “bad” word in your comment before the mods delete your comment.

Also maybe a mining shield or instead so that these work as traps and make attacker think twice before picking on lower lever carfts.
Or, to be used to complete some missions that you were not able to level up yet.
I do not know if it was erased but per my previous post after the word "stats" maybe the implementation of a power up or a cloaked "Angel on your wing to prevent would be attacker from eyeing up a lower level as a feast not knowing that a trap was in place for protection or a mining shield for a specific time.

You know better combat animations is what I always wanted.. I don't need the reverse/cancel warp button..

Normally I bitch about stuff but the new animations are good.

Man I have made sure every survey I put in there I want more visuals in my battles, never. I am so tired of them not MOVING THE RECALL BUTTON. But wow we will be blessed to see a more beautiful battle now. Woopie.

Get over yourselves jc

Hey instead of more visuals can we get more faction missions that are actually doable? Or better events other than “go mine stuff!!”?
Or maybe some bug fixes?

Why can’t we get a mining officer with a kamikaze ability... like if attacked while mining, sets a collision course and significantly damages (or destroys) the attacking ship. Not much for effectiveness, as the node is lost, but it’d be cool nonetheless
I’d watch it

The biggest problem with the game is that a lvl 30 is able to attack a lvl 22. They should only be able to attack down to about 27. Makes the game completely unbalanced.

The animations are pretty but in addition to not actually fixing anything seem to have made existing bugs worse. My ships get stuck in combat fairly often now (4 times in last 2 hours alone) vs about 1/week before the update

Anyone else think that over 3 mInutes of animation, with this new release, to watch your ship be defeated by a hostile is far too long?

I love the 5 minutes of watching my ship die. I use to complete hostile missions and crash me ship to get home fast, now i have an infinite looped battle playing until i reset client 🤣
cursive finch
lol
nova sierra
Its actually nice watching my d3 do it. At first i thought the battle was going on for extra rounds 🤣
nova sierra
Ye, not so keen on the kumari animation, i feel it should be more brute force as it is a battleship, but i guess its hard to animate. Next they need to add a separate animation for base emptying instead of attaching animation, so it shows the ship docking with the station temporarily
cursive finch
OOOHHHH I Like that...
And, yea, I think the BS animations are okay for what they are... they are more stationary gun platforms than the other ships.
I like the Miner animations though, just twerkin their way through the galaxy

Can you please fix the problem with the 8 hour shields in the dailys? I hwve expressed multiple times and I haven't gotten a response of any sort of action taken. The 8 hours shields given in dailys should be 10-12 hour shields because humans need 7-9 hours of sleep a night, and 1 hour away from screens before falling asleep. This game encourages unhealthy sleeping habits and needs to be addressed. I recognize that there are 12 hour shields in the Alliance Store, but not everyone has access to 100 Alliance Credits every day. Please fix this problem.

WTF with the solo event, Scopley! Having just earned level 20, my ships are way too weak, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to try to collect 700 hostiles one point at a time. Epic fail on this event. 🖕🏻
supple salmon
WTF great graphics upgrade that being said when is scopley going to fix the glitches especially the ones that come with the battle for Glory event the tags bases and lvls vanishing and the ships freezing until a hostile fighter kills you before you can destroy one ship the RSS and repair time that has stolen from me have to repair is rediculous
craggy egret
@hot fern All the events seem to be designed for maxed out ships, the difficulty increases at every even level, so unfortunately even levels get screwed over because you are at the low end of the power requirements. I had the same issue with the last faction hunt event, couldn't kill enough to get more than the lowest reward. There's no way possible to advance your ships fast enough without paying because your base and research requires the same materials forcing you to pick and choose.
frigid jolt
Then how I can have a 220k kumari at lvl 24 and I can finish the event in one trip? I am free to play @craggy egret
craggy egret
Extreme luck with the refinery and a server where mining is actually possible without getting smashed multiple times per hour? @frigid jolt
frigid jolt
We have RoE so we can mine
craggy egret
Called it! 😛
frigid jolt
Not that lucky with refinery.Unc only from events and a few from refinery
craggy egret
You're probably just about at the end of 24 then.
frigid jolt
Also I played 700 hours in 7.5 months
Yep.Spend 2k lat and ton of speed ups to finish 24 in 3-4 days
craggy egret
Yeah, the point I was making is that, just starting level 24, even if you'd maxed out everthing at 23, you still don't have the ships, techs, or power to really compete in the event. It gets easier the further you get along, by the end of 24 it's far easier than at the beginning.
frigid jolt
You can complete it with 150-160k vahk in 2 trips
patent aurora
How about some packs that cost 50 and 20 dollars. The 50a can have half the RSS of the 100 dollar packs, and the 20 can have 1/5.
With the greed of the hundred dollar packs I dont buy a thing.
craggy egret
Perhaps on your server. there are no 20 point hostiles to be found in any system on mine. they all get farmed out within the first hour of the event leaving nothing but higher level hostiles which are far more difficult to kill. nobody wants to do it so the lurk around until someone else gets frustrated and starts doing it, they then mass jump on the single 20 pointer that spawns before that person has a chance to get at it.
frigid jolt
You just need to do it in right time.I can find some 28s usually,but yea when there are 3-4 lvl 24 players in the same system it gets hard and I just sit on a respawn point and wait for 28s to spawn
craggy egret
that's exactly the problem, everyone just sits on a spawn point until someone else starts killing. One guy always ends up getting the shaft.
best way to do it is to get a 23 or 26 to come along and tag team on the hostiles so you both get what you need, but often others see that quickly and jump in to pirate kills.
frigid jolt
Team play as always is the best way to finish events quicker
But you can always go to higher systems to kill 29s

When upgrading refinery past level 20 please only give 3*** stuff. 2**stuff is pretty much a useless after level 20.

You might still need some for research and/or upgrade your ships until you get a Kehra/Vakhlas... plus the lvl23 buildings need them in small amounts
But... only at 26 or 27 they all turn to 3*

and envoys to cap
gentle goblet
True... envoys as well but crystal is the first one that switches to 3*

iirc crystal swap at 20, gas at 22 and ore at 26
Ship parts is based on the ships you can build...actually at 24 even the survey swap to 3*

The visual effects are important but most of us are not playing for the visual effects. I mean i have a ps4 for that and minecraft has better visual effects but what we want is lower prices on the packs and less glitches
Also armadas would be nice
And past warp 40 areas fixed
Right now the level cap is 39 and its because scopely has not put content out there for the players who has achieved those levels
bold sentinel
Good luck with that
hasty plover
@delicate sentinel @nova sierra Never have I seen anyone ask for new battle animations and that it was so important it had to have a patch all its own. I have seen and experienced so many more important and pressing issues that need addressed. I have seen people absolutely livid and screaming about:
- The economy/refinery - Still broke AF.
- Lower pack prices so more people can buy and make specific packs for specific needs, ( Relo tokens, Unc/Rare RSS, etc..)
- Fix the lag
- Fix the shield glitches and for god's sake refund the lost RSS to those that your GUARANTEED(not maybe it will work) peace shields failed on.
- Ships getting stuck in bases and in battle dramatic rise in occurrences with this patch. Right now my flagship has been stuck in battle for 30 MINUTES!!!! WTF?
- Upgrade requirements for ships are stratospheric past certain levels, again allowing the trust fund babies and the rich to Get everything they need quickly so they can destroy the servers while the rest of folks are trying to play an unplayable game.
- More G3 resources in level 30 to 45 spaces. Mining is a joke, faction spaces are desserts and the mining events are really starting to turn people off.
- Where the hell are the augment hijacked ships? If we can get the Payflower,D3's and Legionaries in the faction stores, why are we not able to get the hijacked ships in Augment store?
- Sharing resources within teams to help our lower level players
- Trading in the massive amount of G2 garbage resources that clogged up many a pack. Make it a one time deal for different things, BP's Officer shards, rare/uncommon resources.
- Allow us to use Latinum for rare things like rare G3 rss or Uncommon G3 RSS?
- During the PVP/PVE events allow out of band faction purchases. For example, If you're Klingon and got screwed. Allow whomever got suckered into going Klingon and dealing with the broke AF Saladins to purchase ship BP's from Federation or Romulan factions.
@delicate sentinel @nova sierra * Nerf the Saladins.
- Rebalance the battle triangle.
- Fix the broken Klingon and Rom ships.
- Reduce repair times(they are too long)
- I have heard many complain that primes are broken as well.
I'm pretty sure I missed a lot of things here, because there are so many issues with the game, but I think a lot of these are what people are concerned about and need resolved for a more enjoyable gaming experience. Next time there is a patching meeting, have the Art and Marketing departments set it out and let the techies fix some real issues please and thanks.
nova sierra
The new animation of the fight looks great. 👍😎 👏👏
storm hornet
<@&509690795536941056> I was skeptical of the new battle animations at first, but after killing some things I agree it does add some variety to the game which is good. Not sure that it was really worth focusing on over more glaring problems but still not entirely unwelcome.
Seeing this has given me an idea that would make PvP more interesting, which is longer range combat.
When fighting now there is significant distance between the ships - why then do I have to literally collide with a ship to initiate combat with it?
It would be far more compelling if each ship had a combat radius around it.
This would make battleships far more useful in PvP, for example, since they're so slow that intersecting with another faster ship is impossible unless they're not paying attention.
By giving the battleship a decent engagement radius it would allow it to more effectively deny an area of space without the opponent flying circles around it.
This would be interesting for all ships, not just battleships, though for game balance the faster moving ships should probably have smaller radii.
nova sierra
It looks great! Let's hope they do so fine on finishing this game! (Marketplace at lvl 50, useless!!!!!!!!)
#betatesters
storm hornet
@hasty plover I don't think nerfing the Saladin is the answer. It's great for NPC farming. I do agree the other ships should be buffed so the combat triangle works including the Saladin though.
The net effect is ship balance, my #1 problem with the game. But it's by buffing the other ships, not by breaking the Saladin, that balance will best be achieved IMO.
Autocomplete lol. ;)
hasty plover
@storm hornet You are asking scopely devs to do math. That hurts them. It's easier for them to nerf the OP ship.
By the way, greetings from S28 L31
storm hornet
That's true, it's easier just to nerf, but that won't reality fix the problem. It will just mean all the ships will be bad including the Saladin.
I'd much rather they fix the numerous problems with all the ships so there is actual choice in which ships a player can use. That is the intent of the rock/paper/scissors design after all - 3 viable choices.
mortal nimbus
You will add to Chekov?
storm hornet
<@&509690795536941056> not sure when this got added but I just noticed you now show how many BPs we have for a ship in the faction store.
This is a useful and welcome change to the store, it makes it much easier to know how many more BPs are needed to be bought to build a ship.
Thank you! 👍
frigid jolt
They are doing very well for now,since AoW part 2
ancient knot
And the hostile fighter bug continues. Lost yet another kumari due to the faction fighter spawning ON TOP of my ship!! Of course scopely says its my fault because my phone running more than just this game causes server lag!!
Thanks for nothing scopely
gentle goblet
@ancient knot do you send your Kumari to the edge of the system?
gray crane
Why is Scopely lying like that? We watched an attack on a team member and the automatic shield didn't work again. And Scopely lies and says the shield went on. Even the report showed that there were only seconds between the first and second attack.
A player on our server even claims that he now knows how to use this error.
Act like men, finally admit your programming errors and compensate the affected players.
Scopely's behaviour towards fair and active players is becoming more and more unbearable.
A disappointed gamer
ancient knot
I did not this time but that should not matter. I set a timer so that i would be on when it reached the system. I logged in to see my ship icon change from the double arrows indicating warp to the single arrow indicating i was in the system. I clicked locate and as soon as i saw my ship. I was targeted and a fighter spawned on top of me
I should NOT have to warp to the edge of the system. Scopely should fix that damn bug.
gentle goblet
@ancient knot well you can continue NOT to warp to the edge of the system and keep on losing ships if so you wish 😃
ancient knot
Or i could just delete this POS game
ancient knot
That will be happening.
Im so glad that scopely designed new battle animations rather than fix the game.
gentle goblet
but seriously, what's the bug here? your ship was moving around in the system and happen to go through where the hunter spawn
ancient knot
No the bug is that the fighter spawns on top of my ship. Literally on top
Its instant combat when the hostile appears
ancient knot
Are u serious
gentle goblet
you get the warning that a hunter will come after you, probably at that point in time a spawn place is chosen... then it spawns there ~10 seconds later
ancient knot
No i dont
I get the warning. And then the hunter spawns. Directly on top of me. There is NO avoiding it
As soon as it spawns i am in combat with it.
How is that not a bug? Scopely even admits its an issue with server time versus device time.
gentle goblet
you mean the warp time bug?
ancient knot
🤦♂️
You warp to a system that is hostile. As soon as u enter the system u get a warning. We agree on that
But when the hostile spawns it spawns on my ship. Not near it but on it. It goes to instant combat and i lose.
Now scopely says i need to stop every other app on my phone
gentle goblet
yes, and there should be about 10 seconds between when you warp in until it spawns
ancient knot
IT DOESNT MATTER THE 10 SECONDS!!
when it spawns. It spawns ON MY ship. No matter where my ship is
even if my ship is moving
gentle goblet
great, now read my explanation again... 😃
if you move in those 10 seconds you risk that happening to you
ancient knot
So you are basically scopely customer support becuase u still dont get it
I cant be sitting still
I can be moving
I can be at the edge of the system
It DOESNT MATTER
It spawns on top of me
There is no escaping it
gentle goblet
ok well never happened to me if I warp to the edge of the system and wait patiently 10 seconds... so yeah I don't get it 😄
muted bridge
That sucks... Not in my server
ancient knot
🤦♂️
I have warped to the edge of a system. I have waited patiently. And the fight still spawned on top of me
It doesnt happen everytime but it happens at least 3-5 times a week
Lately it has been happening more often than that
gentle goblet
great, so when I asked if you warped your Kumari to the edge of the system you could have said yes and end the discussion, then it would have been clear...
ancient knot
This time i did not. But it doesnt matter. I swear that you got hung up on that edge of the system just like scopely customer support got hung up on “well fighters chase you”
gentle goblet
yes, because like said it never happened to me when I warp to the edge of the system and wait
ancient knot
I spent hours explaining this to customer service yesterday and they just dont get it.
gentle goblet
it did happen when I send the ship somewhere else 😃
a video might be better than 1000 words 😉
ancient knot
And what i have been saying it happens to me no matter what i do. And yes a video would help but it doesnt happen each time i warp.
Scopely admitted they are aware of the problem. The problem is that they werent concerned with it
They gave me a long drawn out “work around” to fix yet another bug they wont fix
wheat oak
It does happen from time to time that the chaser ship will hit you while still marked as IN WARP on your device. It's not frequent but it does happen. Same with the chaser hitting you before you can even move
I suspect it is the warp timer bug. Oh, are you using Helvia to go faster?
ancient knot
No im not
wheat oak
Also, an alliance buddy advised me to take your ship out of the station, then warp. He said the timing was more accurate
But it definately is a bug I've observed @ancient knot
ancient knot
Ill try that but i dont know how successful it will be. But its still better advice that scopely gave me in game
Thanks
wheat oak
Let us know if it helps, I've never really bothered to do it but am having 20 minute warps sometimes now and it would be useful if it works

You people at scopley are totally clueless as to how to develope and support a program. YOUR LAST UPDATE MADE MORE PROBLEMS THAN IT FIX... BUT HEY... ITS PRETTIER.
as long as you all keep pouring money into this broken pos game they will keep making it prettier. Put lipstick on a pig its still a pig
nova sierra
Seriously, is there no one that actually realised that this is a pretty good game as it goes? Yes there are some bugs (Particularly chat Scopely - might be worth reviewing) but actually you can play this game without spending anything!! RedShirtRebel - what game have you developed? I’m dying play it? Clearly you’re not so selfish as to slate something without offering an alternative? SO WHAT if they charge? I have some idea of the effort that goes into creating a paid for game on an Xbox or PlayStation and they have bugs!! There’s nothing pretty about you buddy, lipstick or not!!
white glen
👍 Truth!
nova sierra
I wanted to give some opportunity for a response before I said “Thank you” Godzilla, the Woe that oozes out of some of these responses is just unbelievable- Christ if it’s so bad, stop playing!! It’s not a difficult decision surely? If they’ve made money on the game - good for them, I wish I could code the concept and get the agreement from the relevant authorities and production agencies to allow and create this game and all for the price of....NOTHING!! I’ve paid some money and I believe it is worth it, I believe the developers deserve something for it.
tiny cloud
My take on this is 1. Game is made. 2. Estimate of progress rate is made 3. Missions are staggered based on estimate 4. Packs are provided at very high prices because they are not intended to bought by many 5. More people buy than expected 6. Progression quicker than estimated. 7. Lots of dead time since people completing steps too quickly 8. Despite ridiculous prices people still buy packs worsening the situation
nova sierra
Damn....I’m so pleased someone like you is available to point things out to us, I’d recommend that Steve Jobs paid attention to your post - but sadly it’s not possible! Oh dear! I’m going to make like Steve Jobs!
