I think you need to reach for the lvl required for a ship to get it more frequently

I STILL CAN'T MOVE MY STATION. does anyone in scopely actually know what is going on in the game? I mean if someone could actually tell me what the matter or why I might actually have faith I haven't waisted my money. But I feel like I have been swindled so so someone can just come take my resources. This is been going on for to long. I'm running out of Shields and they're just jerking me around. They say they will help but I've seen nothing. So either they lied to my Admiral or they are waiting till I have have nothing to help for. This is bad business.

@sage basin have someone attack your station

@sage basin he isnt joking. Undock all your ships, have someone attack your station (I thought cracking was needed too) and then dock them. You should be ok to move your station.

please for the love of dog REMOVE THE BATTLE ANIMATIONS.
they’ve made it impossible to hit yellow mission bosses in succession to win, which is obviously what we’re supposed to do to a 2.3mil strong battleship.
All the high level hostile missions and combat bosses have been rendered impossible by this frivolous cosmetic upgrade. 🙄🙄🙄 @delicate sentinel 🙏🏼
craggy egret
the animation doesn't change the combat dynamic any, The current animation takes the same amount of time the original one did its just more flashy. It's still possible to double hit ships to kill, you just have to time it right as always.
meager osprey
no, he's right.. half the time the ships stay looped in the combat anim for long after the fight has ended and you can't select either vessel.. I've had many fights where i sent int he first ship and byt he time the animation had stopped where i could select the enemy, its shields had already regenerated
unreal sun
yea, it definitely lags a lot more
craggy egret
that happened before the new animations were implemented too. IT does seem to happen a bit more often now though, i'll give you that.
nova sierra
Keep some pvp/pve boxes handy, opening a batch frees your ship from endless combat...also emptying a generator works too
Handy for getting a double tap on yellows or when hunting in an enemy system
ripe pebble
Consider the case of the NS. It is a wildly efficient 3* miner which would normally make it incredibly useful, except that it has a very small cargo capacity and consequently almost NO protected cargo. The result is that the ship is next to useless. Now, many have observed that the ship itself it twice the size of an envoy yet has roughly 1/10 the cargo capacity. How does that make any sense? It would make sense if all of that extra space was making the Northstar have increased protected limits, like an armored car. It has a much smaller hold, but the protected limit is increased. It could start out at like 10% at tier 1 and max out at 100% at tier 9. This would give people incentives to max out their Northstars (an expensive proposition) which would likely result in increased revenue for Scopely. Everyone wins!
cursive finch
Actually I run multiple NS for mining events. Incredibly useful
gentle goblet
@ripe pebble there's not a lot of ships that will go into the trouble of shooting down a 300K NS over couple K of cargo
cursive finch
Repair costs generally aren’t worth it
gentle goblet
well unless you have a 400K+ ship yep
don't get me wrong if my sally happens to be next to an NS with 10K dingling G3 stuff I'd probably hit it, but I won't send it across the galaxy to do it
and I don't tend to go to mining systems for fun
cursive finch
I do. But the lower ones.
gentle goblet
10K OP pretty much required a T9 NS 😄
our server is peaceful enough to mine, so I really don't bother with going system by system scanning for OP cargo etc.
proud scarab
Is there anybody at Scopely-Support who can read????? Completely stupid answers to very simple questions: Why did my 10 min. Auto-Shield not activate? Why did the ships in the station not defend? See screenshot.
Last fighting-action before the attack on my station was 14 hours earlier! No one player on this server can defeat a 1,5 Mio. Station in the very first attack. 345k Kumari and 350k Saladin were in the station, but did not defend! See screenshot.
ripe pebble
during a mining event people will do just about anything to get a node. and there are people on our server that specifically go around hunting NS's for OPC
why is the NS larger than an envoy but with 1/10 the cargo capacity
tough sable
Y’all really want a way to improve dailies...? Here’s a thought:
Make the hostile part of dailies, both faction and regular, a point based system rather than a total number of ships (25 lvl 31s for example).
It’s increasingly difficult to find the right lvl ship when systems are crowded daily for the same thing.
Especially during hostile hunting events such as this one currently happening.
nova sierra
Would really like to see a Salvage Yard. A place where we can salvage old ships that are no longer relevant. And then receive parts, materials, and resources for the salvaged ship. And as you upgrade the Salvage Yard, it becomes more efficient and gives higher level parts and mats. Make it available at Ops level 20.
tough sable
Don’t think for one second it’d be worth it @nova sierra
It’d probably be like 200 trit per ship salvaged
There wouldn’t be any significant payout
Now what it would be useful for is ship parts... explorer parts, etc
nova sierra
Can't be any worse than the refinery only allowing you to use it every 9 hours.

I'd like to see a ferrengi market where you can actually build out the ships for all of those old BPs you have (I can build 40 envoys) and have a ferrengi trader take it off of your hands for some combination of latinum/uncommons etc

Quv Qeb (36) in Klingon space spawns "transport" surveys, which are about 50% more powerful than "trader" surveys. They are so much stronger than any other ship at that level range that it feels like a misconfiguration.

@ripe pebble It makes perfect sense for the Larger North Star to have less cargo. Most of the Cargo space was taken up with living accomadation used by boomers.

Northstar cargo holds full of scopely profits

NS is awesome just how it is... if u increase the protected limit, that ship quickly becomes waaaay OP in terms of utility.
Not saying I wouldn’t use it, but if they increase one aspect, they will have to even put in another.
wicked jetty
Seriously the Northstar is fine
hasty plover
Totally disagree. Need to up the capacity and the protected limits on the NS. The only people saying don't change it are obviously not using it.
@delicate sentinel <@&509690795536941056> Please please please get rid of the crappy battle animations. They are lagging game play, make defending against base raids difficult and when you have a major battle it quickly devloves in to a CF, that nearly grinds the game to a halt.
@delicate sentinel <@&509690795536941056> Please do something about the Saladin. Either nerf it or buff the other ships because bloody hell!!!!! Everything is broken in regards to the ship triangle and the faction triangle.
wicked jetty
currently at war, use the northstar to finish my dailys every day. northstar is fine. it mines incredibly fast, and gets very powerful quickly. if you increase its cargo you have to nerf it in other ways

@delicate sentinel Fix the levels people can attack lover level players. It is idiot that a lv26 can‘t attack a lv21 player, but lv30 can attack lv22. They are completely helpless.. Max. 4 levels below, no matter what level.

@brittle quarry they can’t do 4 levels because once you get to the point of mid 30s there may only be 15 players you could legally hit.

I’ve grinded daily to get mods for Franklin since it came out. I finally got the mods to upgrade it to tier 4 and leveled it up to level 20. It’s still not usable for even the mid level daily quest and the next set of mods is going to take many months. Is this really what you had in mind for this ship? Like I said I been grinding like crazy with hopes that i would get something from it.... I dunno, seems the mod requirements are just too high

@thin ridge Did you expect anything else from scopely??. You should have spent $$££€€

@weak adder well then they have to do something that people stay instead of dropping out one after the other.

That’s why they give your base shields and for mining. It just takes some effort and repairs to complete the dailies

L14s with NorthStars is a joke.... at least with Jellies you can buy it. I think you should be limited like the rest of us or have available to all.

@nova sierra it depends on your transporter settings and level, lower level transporters can modify the molecular structure during transport leaving you with an inferior humanoid

@panic DEAR SCOPELY, what a waste of systems in Klingon, romulan and fed space having extremely useless parsteel and tritanium mines?please convert all these mines into useful 3 star Crystal, gas or ore mines...thanks
tough sable
@brisk matrix I agree there should be more g3 nodes, but those base rss systems are necessary. They’re drastically larger in quantity to mine, and less worries about overcrowding and/or getting hit overprotected.
brisk matrix
@tough sable I have alliance mates who worry about what to do with their 21 mil parsteel..that, along with plenty of trit and dilithium from base raiding, I think we could use a lot lot more g3 nodes in faction space than entire parsteel systems without a single miner..
tough sable
What’s true for your team isn’t true for the entirety though... those systems have their usefulness. Again, I agree that there should be more accessible g3 nodes in faction space, but not at the expense of base rss acquisition.
hallow pumice
In short, add more systems with 3* nodes
wispy shuttle
Since the merger and change in attack levels (which isn't exactly level anyway) its become harder to mine. Alot of lower level players (not a bad thing in long run) are now in areas we could never reach and using 3* nodes but are untouchable.
Is there a view to increase the number of nodes in all factions to releave the pressures?

@delicate sentinel <@&509690795536941056>
Just some things i think that could really help this game become what i think most envision it to be.
- There is not enough grade 3 nodes. The amount of grade 3 mining nodes needs to see a huge increase. I would say 50-100% increase. People quit this game daily because of this issue alone.
- Warp ranges and warp distance for far off systems need to be reworked (this could help #1)
- Refinery options that are on the founder server need to be released to all servers. The fact that this hasn’t yet is borderline gross negligence
- There needs to be a way to “scrap” older ships or ships you build that are in surplus or are no longer useful.
- Servers need to be merged. There are so many servers that this alone would help immensely
- Reputation grinding needs to be looked at. If I’m 560k in the hole with a faction. It will take nearly 2,000 level 34 NPC’s of the highest rep fighters (290 rep on average for a 34) to get back to 0. Yes there is quests. But even at level 31 doing the quests that give decent rep back (25k+) takes ships well over 700k in power
- Alliance leaders need to have access to more info on their alliance members(last online, under attack, assists given, etc)
- The market needs to be turned on and be available at around level 20-22.
- Events need to be looked at as a hope. Rewards are awful unless you get top 3 which leads to more people not caring about them. Giving better rewards will add interest and add players who play and stay
- Mining rates need to be boosted. Parsteel 1000%, Tritanium 750%, Dilithium 750%, and all grade 3 needs to be 100-250% faster.
- Officer should earn a small amount of xp per battle. Maybe 1 for PvE and 3 for PvP
- Ship XP needs to be increased from attacking any hostile player or NPC. It’s way too low
- Blue print drops from enemy NPC’s could use a slight increase. Or maybe a static indicator of an enemy NPC has the potential to drop a Blue print.
- Quest donations need to be looked at. Donating 10 million Dilithium is high. At the highest mining rate from a level 39 with all maxed officers, it would take over 6 months to mine that much non stop. Or it would take 3-4 $99.99 (US) packs.
- Piggybacking on the above, quest rewards need to be looked at. They are pitiful
There is more but I’m tired and kind of not in a good state of mind with STFC atm.
tough sable
I’ll go ahead and say it.... “Soon...”
summer cave
i think just increasing mining rates would make the vast majority happy. we are already bottlenecked at the refinery, why are we expected to mine for 8+ hours a day also, just to feed for a pittance of commons and random uncommon

@delicate sentinel <@&509690795536941056> PVE Player / Ship collector - Lv 30, I've hit a bit of a dead spot. I have Legionary, Centurion, Valkis, NS, Frank... but all of the upgrades have hit a grindy point.
I quit World of Warcraft over grindy.
Assuming no cash store, and the rate of events / mining refinery, I will be lucky to upgrade one module every two months.
In one ship.
Even with cash store, it would take 3x of the bonus value packs to upgrade...
One module.

Why is this frustrating?
I cannot complete my quest log.

@manic cape I've seen this occur before. You're responding to a ticket that's been closed but because you're continuedly messaging, you're not getting the dialogue-box to close it for yourself. Please stop sending messages there and I believe after 7 days - you'll be asked to close it after which you'll be able to open a new ticket again.
naive wyvern
The monthly chests which we can double up on, i would prefer if these reset at the same time daily missions reset, the reason be, I collect the reward daily but at different times throughout the day, sometimes its late at night and i forget to do it again the following day due to the cooldown. Now because of this, im going to lose 6 days worth of rewards when i login daily. It would make my time ever so slightly better playing the game and i would also be inclined to purchase two monthly packs again 😃

I don't follow this discord on a regular basis. But it seems to be the most appropriate channel to voice our grievance. Bottom line is the game has grown, we need more material nodes. People are quitting because we do not get a node most of the time now.

Is anything being done to expand the number of nodes in order to keep up with the game / level population?

No
The last time they did that was what six month's ago? More nodes = less revenue. It's that simple

spiral dawn
<@&509691205798592532> so the changes in the hit levels have really messed up certain aspects of the game like for a lvl 27 like myself the amounts of 3 * rss I need to mine and yet I cant get on a mine because the higher lvl systems in the warp 35 to 40 range have very little but all the 18 19 20 21 can rach the systems where the 3* rss are and fill up all the nodes and as a 27 I cant hit them even when the node is 0 or they are over cargo so the people who have been around longer have spent more and so on your hamstringing and making many of us leave the game around high 20s
Now I understand the need to have high lvl not able to hit low lvl bases and ships 8n space but there must also be a way to have a secondary lvl map or even suspend lvl as a restrictor when on a RSS node
gentle goblet
@spiral dawn that's easily solvable by having lower level players in your alliance 😉
spiral dawn
@gentle goblet some servers have set up mining treaties which make the servers much more playable and limit the ability to carpet bomb and such I was spending 400 a month I the game and since the last lvl update I have stoped because well I cant get on nodes and I'm not the only high 20 who has felt this way
gentle goblet
what I mean is if you see a lvl20/21 on a 0 node is there no one from your alliance who can clear him?
spiral dawn
Usually by time they get there the node has been reset for snagged by another who can hit that person really the true issue is the lack of RSS in lvl 30 and 40 systems
That could go a long way to solving things aswell
cinder garden
I've stopped spending too. I'd fixed my rep for dual fed rom, had enough credits to buy most of a centurion if i bought one pack, then realised that wouldn't get me any progress - I'd have to buy more packs to tier it and I've spent enough already. So just doing nothing but mine and refine g3 while i wait for something to change.
spiral dawn
@cinder garden atleast your able to get on mines lol I'm in a fairly active lots of people server and mining is well unless you low to mid 20 its difficult
solemn coral
@spiral dawn even level 7 can reach G3 space 😛
spiral dawn
@solemn coralyeah which kinda goes to show scopleys motive (get em in the door blow a bunch of money for a few times then watch them leave) rather than let's have repeat customers who continually spend a couple 100 a month
solemn coral
the reward packs are for those
and to those that blow a bunch of money, their fault if they can't have patience and want everything NOW
spiral dawn
@solemn coral I think you missed the point with the new lvl map high lvl 20s cant really progress at all without spending stupid amounts because they can barely get on 3 star materials to refine and progress
solemn coral
just wait for a data mining event
then everyone is focussed on data, and you can easily mine G3
and if you cannot mine, get friends and perhaps SHARE nodes ?
spiral dawn
And in the mean time due to the massive lack of nodes outside the mid 20 lvl systems more and more high 20 players just say forget it and move on and leave
Scoply spends a great dela to run the servers have devs and so forth would it not make buisness sense to try and retain customers
solemn coral
or perhaps ask if someone has a node for you in gc
tell that to the people deciding it, not us
you know, those you do not see here
spiral dawn
Thought feedback was directed to the people in charge that's why I posted here common logical thinking would say a feedback channel is for feedback no? @solemn coral
cinder garden
The reward packs were a shortcut to when you couldn't progress just by playing the game because refinery was such a bottleneck. Now they're not even that - and i reckon for a lot of low 20s they'll struggle to complete dailies without a g3 node, not the most helpful thing in the world to just say wait for a data mining event.

Meh. I'll be happy if there's some way to speed up the grind for modulator parts. I need 100k+ per slot to tier it up and it's nowhere near useful yet
frigid jolt
@cursive finch can Devs add 2* exp parts to rewards?
I dont want to hit a billion of low lvl hostiles to get them
muted swift
Once you hit tier 4 the Franklin switches to 3* parts
frigid jolt
@muted swift ohh that is good to know
@cursive finch I would love 3* bs parts for my kum
muted swift
Yes I was relieved as well when I saw it. Best to burn lat to get through the 2* parts or you'll be farming forever

@cinder garden just wait. One gun will need 2.4m modulators.....

Sorry all we can do is give you 1* parts

Looking at Some of the pictures I don’t think a 32 should be able to hit a 23

I don't know why it ever had to be expanded. We were perfectly ok with only being able to hit +/- 3 when we started the game, it got less and less fair as the levels and ranges went up.

Only 35k dilithium and 300k tritanium. That wont even do 1 upgrade on my valk. For 50 bucks it better do something. Talk about cheap rewards.
gentle goblet
@swift hemlock you also get tokens which you can redeem every day for more, the good thing in these packages is the uc, steel and speedups, if you need trit/dil then go for the ship package instead
deft patio
@delicate sentinel @tepid nimbuswhy does the amount of trit you get in the solo Domination event go up and down then back up on the last milestion or is this a bug with the event? Milestone 1 you get 88.7K, milestone 2 you get 77.5K and 1 x 100k trit token, milestone 3 you get 66.2k trit and 2x100k trit tokens, milestone 4 you get 155k trit and 2x100k tokens, last milestion you get 187.5k trit and 7x100k tokens. what gives
gentle goblet
hrm you get more as tokens, sounds reasonable to me
so 88.7K, 177.5K, 266.2K, 355K and 887.5K respectively
vagrant orbit
This special station upgrade pack is worthless at certain level! I’m level 35 to upgrade refinery I need 800uc gas so I would need to buy five of them just to upgrade refinery. More higher I get, more sense this game looses @delicate sentinel I know you don’t read all, but believe me if the values will not change, you will have few players above certain level. 34 was quiet ok but to go to 35 it cost 3000€ if I do not earn materials, but ohhh wait there is no way to earn that much so maybe I just stop buying packages.

@delicate sentinel , first, good on Scopely for using the in-game News function. However, Scopely needs to tell players when they expect to be able to update their clients. Checked App Store, no updates. Tell us it’s going to be this week, next week or whenever. Something. <@&509691205798592532>. So 4 stars for getting the information out there. You’re 1 star short of 5 for missing telling people when we can expect the updates to be available.
cinder garden
Google update was there as soon as i checked, maybe you should be poking Apple!
faint gate
Shortly after I posted this, it’s now available in App Store, Scopely that’s 5 stars for this release of information to the player base. Thank you!
Actually I do have one follow-up. What do players who use Bluestacks do? Do they still need to use the APK to side-load the game? Or are they able to update through Bluestacks?
I don’t personally use it, but I do recall quite a bit of commotion around Bluestacks and NOX (i think that’s what they call it) not working after the last update. <@&509691205798592532> that should probably be put in the FAQ’s once you get guidance from Scopely

Apart from the UI skin, is there any different content in the battle log?
Great, so @delicate sentinel is this just lipstick on a pig? Or do these UI changes create a framework for additional information to be added in the future?
azure holly
@faint gate try tapping on the officers....
faint gate
@azure holly , where? (iOS/Apple iPad Pro) click to open a battle report, and then select the report. On that main view, I see the main crew for each ship, but tapping on them nothing happens. If I go into the actual Battle Log, tapping on the officer abilities doesn't do anything else
humble heath
same on bluestacks clicking on officers will not show any info

you could tap on them prior

@delicate sentinel fix this f**** ship repair time, or give us free repair tokens
Alomst one year, one year you cant fix it

I am not talking about all other bugs that are still present from the start of the game

So, the new scans/battle reports are definitely prettier, but now give even less information than before. Step in the exact wrong direction

I have invested time and rss in this research, and what i have???? Zero
regal skiff
lipstick on a pig.
prime wedge
I realy have a feeling that scopley want us to stop playing, just shutdown the servers and dont do this sh*t with aka bugs
And this updated aliance hub? WHY YOU INVEST TIME IN IT??????
faint gate
While I think repair times need to be improved. Currently that isn't a bug. Scopely has outright said it is "working as intended".
prime wedge
Why, why , why, nobody use it
No its not, i have proven it , and they admitted
Its still a bug
faint gate
But in the software industry a bug is something that is broken. If the functionality is working as intended, while we may object to that fact, that changes it to being an enhancement.
faint gate
I think we have some miscommunication. You testing it and deciding it is not working to what you would expect is not a bug. It's a quality of life issue or QoL that software developers receive when functionality within software is doing something that causes pain to the user community and should be changed. That's vastly different than a bug. A bug would be a station not being able to be relocated. Being attacked through a shield. Those are features and functionality in the game that are/were not working as intended and broken.
But I agree with you, let's not forget that! It is a QoL issue that the community in general would like Scopely to address by either changing the repair mechanic or lowering the times
prime wedge
Ok, you are informed that you get 10% time reduction for repair time, after research you get nothing, how is it called
Its called a bug
It is not working as intended
faint gate
It's based on a sliding scale. The underlying numbers doesn't mean that the Prime Repair time will reduce the repairs to 0 seconds. It is 100% reduction off of the possible time that can be adjusted for with repairs. Its wonky, I give you that, but it's not broken.
prime wedge
You are informed that you have 50% rss safeguard and you dont get it
How is it called?
BUG
faint gate
Yeah I think we have to agree to disagree. Again, it's not 100% of all your RSS. It's based on your vault protections
But I give you that Scopely does itself no good by not being clear on where these numbers are derived from and how a prime will impact the before and after.
A lot of this understanding comes from teh community unfortunately
prime wedge
Yes, my vault is 105k under protectio, plus 50%
But after attack i have only 105k
BUG
faint gate
welll each vault is different too, they don't all share the same

@delicate sentinel don’t you think it’s about time you lot fixed the repair times on ships that got fucked up on the big update god knows how many months ago that caused so many to go claim refunds. Scopely keep rolling out all these updates yet again with more bugs than fixes yet can’t fix simple issues such as Iv mentioned above.

Scopley needs to change the strategy... I understand wanting people to constantly be engaged in the game. But as of right now, they are forcing alot of our good players to quit the game and will see a financial drop soon as a result. People are dropping like flies Scopely!
It's actually good for EverQuest, I know of 10 STFC players now that have quit and returned to EQ, thinking about it myself. $20.00 a month and maybe a $50.00 annual expansion pack purchase. STFC is going to be short lived at this rate.
sage shuttle
they made over 100mil this year from this game i doubt they will change strategy
but many of us player are growing tired of the extreme wallet gouging scopely do. i for one have stopped buying packs as they are not worth the money anymore as one upgrade pack wont even upgrade a single module

@craggy egret it's the faction that doesn't like you.? It's all 3 g3 RSS at level 26
craggy egret
@swift hemlock faction? what does that have to do with refinery?
swift hemlock
There is no where near enough G3 nodes. Most players have pre warp 40, maxed Envoys. They sit on nodes for days. My record is 13 days 24 hr mining 2 nodes till a rogue broke our servers ROE knocking me off. Other players mine endlessly too. There aren't enough decent sixed nodes for the amount of players at that level. Hours of searching for a node and nothing. The only way to get one now is fighting over one if someone had a real life problem or couldn't find a signal when they 0 node. Haven't been able to do gas dailies in 2 days. I've stopped buying packs as if this isnt fixed the game should be relabeled Star Trek Node Hunter. Be bored out of your mind scanning ships for hours every day ending up recalling and feeling like you just wasted your life. Look around on your feed back. Everyone is saying the same thing but it's never fixed. The game is becoming monotonous and boring. G3 nodes, not the 3.5k ones but real ones that you can mine while still having a real life.
People sitting on the mission planet in the systems trying to get a node. There are many. You need to add more G3 nodes to meet the demand and number of players at that level mining it.
@craggy egret nothing. But Roms hated me and my Refinery did the same. Ore was always small. Till level 26.
craggy egret
@swift hemlock nope roms love me, it's a flaw in the game, everyone gets that from 20-25.
swift hemlock
Cool so another well known flaw that's never been fixed.
craggy egret
Ssssssshhhhhhh don't mention the safe planets! everytime there's something about the game that we like and use to our advantage scopely takes it away from us.
remember when we could park warships under our miners?
swift hemlock
@craggy egret it's like the packs. Why do I have to buy a useless g2 pack to unlock the g3 ones. My store is filled with useless packs. Why is a cargo bay of latinum 50 bucks for a 1000 latinum, but the monthly package is also 50 bux and comes with way more.
How does that make any sense Scopely. Seriously. Same price.
craggy egret
Oh I know. If I go to store to buy a coffee pot, i'm definately NOT going to buy 6 towels, 3 toasters, and a waffle iron to be able to get that coffee pot...not happening.
swift hemlock
LoL
craggy egret
I think that's a fair representation of scopely's store design
"gateway" purchases were a tool of the illicit drug trade.......I think you know where i'm going with this.
gentle goblet
@swift hemlock @craggy egret you say G2 stuff is useless but actually it isn't... both BB and Franklin needed them
And if I have to guess some of the new 'galaxy' research will also need it
swift hemlock
@gentle goblet my bb is tier 6. Needs g3. That's because I have tons of g2 rss already. We need g3. The packs to buy should represent your level and what would be required. For Franklin the wall you have to pay around is frequency modulators. And to get it to a tier where it's useful to kill lvl 28 swarms at my lvl is an insane amount of FM. So until its tier is high enough, it is a useless ship. Sad but true. It's a good looking ship though.
And now that bb is t6 it has a use. But until then it was never used.
gentle goblet
The first tiers for both ships needed G2 mats and ship parts
I had to spend lat on both because I didn't have enough G2 ship parts
I used BB at all tiers for mining data, not sure why you are saying it was useless before T6?
Either way all I'm saying is that G2 mats/ship parts are still used at higher levels as well, if you buy the monthly package every month you might have more than enough but not all of us do

You can’t intercept a ship recalling because it tries to intercept it at its base, very frustrating

I think we need more missions that give reputation for factions. At least that would give us something to do
I would also suggest that miner ships be allowed to be bought no matter your reputation level

here's a bit of feedback... limit access to 3* nodes to players over level 18 or 19. you have players on nodes who are nowhere close to refining the materials and players who need the rss who can't hit them off 0'd nodes or over their protected cargo limits
it's a huge problem on server 22

Just have a popup saying "are you sure you wish to recall?" simliar to the "you have a peace shield are you sure you want to attack?" popup.

@tame mauve practically every other game like this has that info. For people to have to keep a spreadsheet is a bit ridiculous. If they are so reluctant to give that info then an auto kick after something like a month of inactivity should be implemented
@tame mauve or make it only viewable by the alliance leaders
unreal aspen
@surreal mason Just so you know... MITM is a good way to cause more trouble, like cheating and messing with things inherent in the game, which is why it is not exactly a good idea.
@upbeat imp One of thing you will have to make sure of, on the envoy, is the Bridge Crew Synergy. You will find that if you only have Domita as the captain, the increase is so so. But if you put, say two other Miner/Surveyor members who give at least 30% synergy with Domita, you will have a much better mining rate over all.
If you don't have that, you aren't going to get the most out of your mining with the survey ship you are using.
The only time I have seen it not work, is with the Botany Bay. Even if you try to have synergies with the other Khan members, I don't see the Botany Bay increasing in its data mining speed.
And I think there was a mention that the Northstar has a bug in telling you the actual mining rate due to its funky ship health modifier.
And, of course, the Tier/Level of the ship will improve mining overall as well.
tiny cloud
I thought levelling Domitia made no difference to mining speed only warp speed home?

I’m level 24 and can’t attack players below level 20 - I consider it fair. Why the hell players level 31 many times stronger are allowed to attack 24s?!? So not cool, Scopely
It’s not even 10 times the strength, more like 100 if you compare ships

I was not going to do it myself. Someone in my server admitted doing it while on GC. Scopely just asked for SS of evidence. I dont even know what that would be.
twilit slate
I know the trit/dil cost thing has been reverted, but i literally was going to do an upgrade on my Sal as it was around 20M (displayed 16M) and now is back to 48M. I have no chance in getting that anytime soon - would have preferred to just be told what the difference in calculation was instead of seeing the damn goal set back to something unachievable.
empty roost
Can the missions be given based on level? I'm level 13 and I can't complete any missions because they all require me to kill ships that I can't kill yet.
craggy egret
@empty roost almost everything in this game is designed with the assumption that you have the maximum strength ship you could possibly have to do the mission based on the level of the area you picked it up in. If you picked up a mission from a level 18 planet it's very likely the difficulty of the mission is based on you having a ship that would have the maximum upgrades possible for ops level 18. So in a way the missions actually are based on level, just not restricted by level.
empty roost
well I wish I had know that before, I've reached the maximum amount of missions and I can't claim anymore.
So now I'm stuck with a bunch of missions that I can't complete and there's no option to remove them from my list.
tame mauve
@empty roost Is there a limit on the active missions count???
empty roost
Apparently, I tried to count how many I have and I got to 54.
tame mauve
Pfffew, I'm way off that point. Are you stuck on all missions because there too difficult??
Because there is a complete list of missions on discord channels.
That might help you finnishing some.
And if it is because of warp range, try using an NS with maxed out Scotty for +5 warp range.
And maybe time to go to Ops lvl 19?

@delicate sentinel <@&509691205798592532> perhaps if you post a time and change it, maybe good idea to make new post rather edit the old incorrect one.. that way we may actually see the change rather than rely on random luck

@tame mauve yes I just tried what he said, and it does show the server I’d but it’s far to the right in the URL, your screen isnt big enough to show that part

Update on my server and client is finished. But nothing chamged except galaxy research. No change to ships or upgrade costs, no change in refinery. anyone else?
ornate crypt
Appears to have been a minor update not patch 10, which is what I thought was coming.
maiden cliff
<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> can you check that?
nova sierra
confirmed, research is the only thing changed in patch 10
nova sierra
the research is here, the daily goals hopefully by the end of the week, what else were you expecting?
maiden cliff
they were talking about reduced ship upgrade costs and different ship stats
changes to refinery and mining
gentle goblet
<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> why were the refinery drop rates nerfed this morning shortly before the patch?
before:
after:
heavy river
😱
gentle goblet
why apples and oranges @nova sierra ?
the drop rates are identical for all 3* mats
I only have 3 refine cards, that didn't change
nova sierra
1 per mat type?
heavy river
<@&509691205798592532> <@&509690795536941056> ,Thank you all for your hard work on the update on adding more nodes for us to mine in some of the empty systems in W40+ ,
Oh wait you didn’t 😡
gentle goblet
yes 1 per mat type
nova sierra
@heavy river there is a team looking at the galaxy map as a whole, compile your feedback in a contructive manner and we can make sure the team sees it

That’s as constructive and respectful as I can say it 🖖

anyway it seems none of the changelog content made it through the update except galax research

Should the uncommon needed gone up for upgrading ships?
Or is it a glitch?
Unfortunately, I don’t have before and after screenshots

it was said to be decreased..but stayed same as before. no change to upgrade cost

Well my mf needed 500 unc gas before update and 1200 now for one component. Looks like cent has gone up a bit as well.
wind eagle
Galaxy Research the new pay wall
4g gas while we don't even have enough 3g gas nodes in the systems
no 4g gas in the systems at all.....
and why starting a new R&D galaxy research event when you don't give us 4g minerals nodes?
BIG patch 10.... bugs aren't fixed..... such as dead mining nodes... disappearing chats(still after so many updates)
languid heart
Thanks scopely for listening to the community, a bigger gap between f2p and p2w players is what we all wanted, good job to make more people leaving the game just to make some extra buck 👍👏👏👏
wind eagle
also there is a simple bug which is still present with officers Domitia and Helvia.... the warp boost buffs sometimes don't work unless I rearrange the officers .... I reported it many times with screenshots... nothing changed
also bug that your alliance power has different value between your alliance user interface and the alliance power ranking list
Scopely this is unacceptable..... at least to remove the chat disappearing bug should be an easy task .. it is a code error in the database .... get some proper programmers!
Patch 10 maintenance took a whole 1 hour but all it really changed is that you enabled Galaxy research to milk players for money.... it shows us that you don't really care about the gamers community. How about you fix the bugs before bringing new features and rebalance the whole game?
I get 2 rare minerals per month when refining every day... that is extremely unfair .... I need to spend 1000€ a month to be competitive.... with all the bugs present....
<@&509690795536941056> scopely needs to change their approach towards the community. Nothing wrong with making money but not like this... I want value for my money which I don't see. 🙄

Dear Scopely, you stated mining rates would be increased, in fact they were decreased approximately 20% on Envoys mining G3 materials. Thanks for yet again misrepresenting what an update would do.

@jade plover my envoy is still showing the same mining rate on 3*, check your crew

@delicate sentinel this new research tree is exciting and giving us a lot of new stuff to work towards. The new primes are especially exciting, however, it continues to be extremely disappointing that there is no F2P way to grind for these prime researches that require 4* rare materials since they essentially don’t exist in the game yet. The early primes could be earned by putting in time if you didn’t have the money and that was part of the draw early on. It would be nice to recapture that essence.
nova sierra
To be fair, the early PRIMES did need 3* rares which are achievable now -- but expensive. I think as the game progresses, 4* will unlock as well. Don't forget, their motivations are not the same as ours. (Also did anyone notice the Borg-inspired imagery in the new Galaxy Research logo on the new packs? Resistance is futile.) 🙂

Anyone know where I am supposed to see increased stats for Prime Officers? My before and after are exactly the same. restarted the game..

So no changes in costs for upgrading ship components?

@nova sierra My guy was in station, his stats went up when I put him on a ship. Thanks
@nova sierra The cost of upgrades when down for me but it is on base RSS, not the G3 stuff
hallow pumice

gentle goblet
@keen bobcat not all of them are actually worth upgrading :)
pulsar finch
Pretty disciplined players on the server I play. Mistakes happen of course but not too often. The way it is it would be better to either take raiding out of the equation for good or what I would prefer loose the auto shield

@hallow pumice Not that I had done pre-patch to post patch. I just went through figuring costs for all my ships last night.

@gentle goblet i know ive got 5 enterprise 3 gorkan and 2 nero crew members to upgrade though
cosmic knoll
With all the NAPs, the high lvl players run out of low lvl players to farm due to bleeding them dry and making them leave the game, then complain theres noone left to hit .. The people that remain are those that have either invested money or time into the game, and wish to continue to play, so run a dry base until they have enough shields to last enough time to earn the next UG.
gentle goblet
@keen bobcat yeah but most uncommon ones aren't worth it
nova sierra
@keen bobcat Be strategic about what you upgrade. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. 🙂
keen bobcat
I am @nova sierra im getting blueprints for faction ships at the moment and only officers i work on are the ones on my ships just hate having the number 24 on my screen all the time same with the ships it bugs me
gentle goblet
@keen bobcat I have always more than 25 there 😂 😂
Most common and uncommon officers will never be upgraded past where they neee credits
keen bobcat
I hate it. They need to make the cost of faction credits better for officers not a stupid high amount
nova sierra
@keen bobcat ...oh I know, that nag effect is how they make you waste rss.
keen bobcat
@nova sierra or money

Yeah also Kirk is worth it
fiery harbor
Getting rid of those numbers would be nice.

sage shuttle
im a lttle disapointed they did not add a research that improves WARP STRENGTH on all ships
it would be better to allow players spread out into the galaxy rather than keeping them all clustered around nuetral space
maybe a 1/10 skill that adds 1 plus warp strength to all ships per level
nova sierra
You mean range.
nova sierra
Yes, but I think that's where your cadet scotty comes in. He's worth investing in. 🙂
sage shuttle
i have him maxed
still he is one officers
it would be nice to be able to warp out my horizons to the 37 - 40 systems to mine
all 4 of them
maybe scopely could add epic mining officers that give warp range increase for miners
nova sierra
Prime Officers doesn't seem to be working
@fiery harbor having same issue, no change on officers even with recall ships.
nova sierra
@fiery harbor but they went up even without Prime
fiery harbor
Oh, that I did not know
nova sierra
Compare your Gorkon to someone who doesn't have it
fiery harbor
I see I am up over 100% so I am not sure on the math
nova sierra
I compared with someone who doesn't have it and they had same numbers
fiery harbor
@nova sierra thanks for the heads up. That is disappointing.
I will have to get out into space and see how things flush out.
gentle goblet
@fiery harbor it should increase by 2.xx where xx is your academy level
Without prime it's 1.xx
fiery harbor
Ahh

that helps my numbers work out.

It should yeah

Thanks

Please push the topic of making officer badges more accessible!

toxic ether
The problem is sales and marketing telling the engineers to spit out more content because they know nothing about engineering, video games, or what players want. And their focus is on presenting these new updates in meetings to show everyone what they came up with, pat themselves on the back, and collect their paycheck.
This forces the engineers to then collect technical debt on the bugs and issues they should fix before pushing out more content. None of the technical debt will ever be repaid because the engineers are given more content to create instead of the necessary time to go back and fix bugs/issues.
And that is your typical gaming company in a nutshell.

upbeat jungle
Scopley needs to understand that words mean things. When prime refines say +1 refine, but actually deliver +1 batch, that is not the same thing. Some may argue one is better than the other, but it is a misrepresentation of the facts. Please try to be more accurate.
craggy egret
@upbeat jungle I was wondering exactly what that meant myself. what exactly do you get? a free extra batch for each batch number chosen, or do you have to pay more materials for an extra batch slot (4 vs the current 3)?
what we really want is +1 uncommon guaranteed per batch.
upbeat jungle
@craggy egret each refine you get an extra batch for the same cost. Notice I no longer have a single batch option.
craggy egret
I suppose that's not too bad. odds still suck, but an extra pull is better than nothing.

4hr loot chest down from 3 to 2? thats not a reducion, thats a reversion ... it used to be 2 a month ago, but scoopley increased it to 3.
Its like a shadey shop sales pitch, where they increase the label price 100%, the stick a sign up saying 50% off ... pure class
gentle goblet
what's 'down from 3 to 2' means @cosmic knoll
cosmic knoll
daily 4 hour loot chest .. requires 2 to complete, previously 3. but it was 2 a month ago before scoopley increased it to 3
gentle goblet
you mean you need to collect 2 now instead of 3?
cosmic knoll
yes
gentle goblet
and that's negative how?
cosmic knoll
because it was 2 a month ago, then scoopley increased it to 3
gentle goblet
it increases as you level up
it's been 3 for as long as I remember though, I guess they might have just change the level at which it increases to 3 and you might still be in the 2 bracket then
cosmic knoll
so that means a lvl30 would require 4?

strong shard
So this update was a disappointment. Feels like nothing changed except I can mine 500 more 3*/hr at this point. I was expecting this to be the moment where previously accessible to P2P player only things became accessible to F2P/low paying players, then P2P players got access to different things. Instead the P2P players got more, and the F2P players got nothing.
No increase in refining unless purchasing prime packs, no decrease in 3* mats needed for ship upgrades unless ops 31 which is realistically behind a pay wall, everything in the galaxy tab starts to require uncommon almost immediately. This was supposed to be the update that reignited peoples interest in the game, not create an even larger pay wall.

@strong shard just wait until a bit longer, something is actually coming soon
Why would they keep these out forever? They were in the beta, along with these

A new feature that would be nice is to have the protected limit show up in the cargo bar as green. Not all ships are the same and it can very by crew. Just would be a nice thing to see at a glance instead of having to look through ship specs and remember.
mint sedge
<@&509691205798592532> can you please pass along to product owner the following feedback?
Do the rare 3* refined materials have to be so rare? My refinery being level 26 has a 9 hours cooldown. So in 24 hours I can refine materials 2 times. So in a month I have on average 60 refining operations. The rate of rare 3* materials during a month, for me, is about once or twice. If I'm lucky enough I might get 6 rare 3* items in a month. If I'm lucky.
It is a very poor rate if you ask me. Does it have to be that way?
If the cooldown time will increase as I upgrade the refinery that means the monthly rate for rare 3* materials will be even lower. It is frustrating to the extreme especially since the need for rare materials increases with the player's level.
mint sedge
I said if I'm lucky. Ok, perhaps I should have said if I'm extremely lucky.
There were of course months when I didn't get any 3* rare materials.
And I might have been fooled in my assessment by the periods when we had Refinery Bonus during the mining events.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that rare materials aren't just rare. They are rare to the extreme.
cursive finch
I go weeks with out seeing uncommon
mint sedge
Well, that's not the case for me. I get 3* uncommon on a weekly basis. Not much but I do get them.

@beyondthestars any reason why we can't have double slots for each rss in refinery? Like founders server had triples, right?

@freezer, I concur, they "fixed the game" alright, you bet they did... Shameless

Whoever made the change to put focus on the attacking ship and not leave it on the target base NEEDS TO BE FIRED
It's annoying as F to have the entire freaking screen move around during the ship attack animation. We can't friggen target the base easily with other survey ships to attack.
IT WAS FINE BEFORE. Fix some BUGS instead!
timber storm
@tranquil pelican Fixed!? Yes of course. 🙈
All I see is that a new branch of research has been introduced as a buying incentive. In addition, again primes were tinkered, which one can not earn without money and I will simply not shake the impression that my Raffinery Slotmachine has become more stingy since the "update" and even less rare throws off for me.
But hey, if I look at the events on my server like that, the bill for the management seems to work out. Our big donors reach unprecedented heights in scores. So the ruble rolls for Scopely. 👍🏼

+1 Refine is yet another disappointment, now at level 34 refining i just get more commons with +1 refine research which mind you cost me $300 dollars. I expect to get a minimum of 4 uncommon and 1 rare from every batch. Getting uncommon and rare should not be a coin toss at high levels.

You are right warpfactory, it is a money grab!

@fleet chasm you really expected that the plus 1 would give you 1 rare and 4 unc each refine lol
It doesn’t change the drop percentages just one more roll to get pissed off at lol

thanks for clearing that up @weak adder , If you read my post, I am asking them to change the refinery to have a guaranteed minimum drop rate of uncommon and rare at higher levels.

I'll buy the 1075 every time. I dgaf about the lat. The option just isn't always there.
It's the same issue with other items purchased with lat. If the option to buy more isn't there, I get a bad deal.
How much lat has been thrown away because of this exploit?

@delicate sentinel This is beyond unacceptable. FIX IT. Pvp ranges are completely unfair! If a survey can one shot a base, the power ranges are obviously wrong and need to be fixed. People are quitting the game because of $%^& like this. FIX IT.

Your bases hull was destroyed meaning you have no protection. All of your guns are dead and the Envoy was merely coming into a defenseless base.
Do not wrap yourself up in the strength numbers. They are totally meaningless other than to help you determine the training you’ve done to your base. @nova sierra

Why can a level 39 be able to hit a level 27 station (with a docked 200k horizon) with a 500k miner and still win the battle and steal 2.5M of cargo
This is one hit, can happen the moment your shield goes down
vapid oar
Your docked horizon is 190k. Your attacker's antares is 511k with a strong morale crew. New research probably made his ship even stronger

carol marcus or yuki sulu would stop that from happening@vague aspen

WHY do the Events give out 1* ship Parts to lv. 19 & 20 players like myself ... rng & all ... but worthless is worthless !?!?!
forest prawn
There should be an automatic peace shield in place when a server breakes down for all affected players. We had that situation today, I lost up to 70% of my materials because I couldn't log in....
cinder garden
These replicator rebate events load far too much of the rewards into the last tier.
pale wyvern
Since the recent update increasing the protected cargo it is hurting the Free To Play players, cause the higher lvl players are staying on the nodes & will not give them up even if they are a 0 node & you tell them they will just go right back on the node there needs to be a automated recall when the node is depleted.
pure nebula
@pale wyvern I think if they allowed hits on all players farming regardless of the hit down or up rules, it would help with node turnover. maybe de-rate weapons hitting down or de-rate shields and armor hitting up? Nothing worse than coming in at 0500EST and seeing 15 nodes at zero with players nesting on them that I can't touch. Same goes the otherway with some of the mega faction haulers.
pale wyvern
I go by 0 node or otl but lately just going by that i haven't been able to get much cause even when i tell them about, they come back with a faction ship that i can't touch, getting out of hand.
pure nebula
mining event. SUCKS. also a lot of aggressive and pissed off people. Also people have learned to slow their mining times down and cover their OTL worries whilst getting 8 hours of sleep
hallow pumice
@pure nebula 👋 I'm there, trying to figure out how to keep a node for longer 😁, or not having to check on it for as often
pure nebula
I do not know your server rules. In my 'verse, OTL and znodes with 2 minute warning are the server accepted ROE. So people put out the botany bay with Joaquin (captain)/t'pring (incresaes protected cargo) and whomever on the bridge. Then park them on an 8500 or bigger node all night.
pure nebula
Yes, there is discussion about modifying the rules here. We shall see. It would be nice to see more node turnover.
I mean, if you get your 10K node while you are sleeping and get blown up.. who cares?
hallow pumice
I've only heald onto a 3* node once, by adding Joaquin as captin, and t'pring, on a crystal node
pure nebula
definite increase in protect and slow down in mining.
hallow pumice
I would try to keep a node, so I can stockpile mats for a bonus refinery, because I lack any 3* I have to mine daily to get more
pure nebula
I do that on the 18K nodes and can go all night with my Horizon.
Yeah.. it is hard to stay on top of it 3600 at a time. You slow down, you don't get them, you die, you don't get them.
during the day, I set the timer in my phone
I don't trust the notifications AND I give my self extra time if I have to ship swap
hallow pumice
Yeah, I never get a notification nowadays
chrome thorn
Allow us to invite friends
craggy egret
And this is why it's so hard to mine, people camp on nodes all day.

@delicate sentinel i am going back to school, i think i didn't undarstood math lessons

Many people here are complaining about too few of about everything: It is supposed to take months to level Franklin, Saladin or for that matter everything else. If it was too easy we would all be flying enterprises by now....

On my Dailies today, I don't know for sure how many hostiles of 23 or above I really need to kill... One place says 15, while the other says 20! 😂😂😁👍🖖

Aren't Interceptors supposed to drop Interceptor parts? I've been killing them and haven't been getting any parts.
prime wedge
@pulsar finch enterprise?! 🤣🤣🤣 This crap? You know that if you upgrade enterprise it looses power 🤣 another scopley math
gentle goblet
@pulsar finch I don't mind grinding and waiting but nothing should take months to do
nova sierra
@empty roost kill Klingons, swarms or neutral interceptors
empty roost
so does a lvl 13 Nausicaan Outlaw on Lycia not count?
sorry, if I asked this in the wrong channel.
nova sierra
sorry, i presumed 3* parts, not sure on 2*
empty roost
oh yes 2*, sorry for the confusion. I'm trying to max my phindra so I can go kill lvl 20 faction ships and start getting faction rep.
cloud crescent
@pulsar finch so it’a good to be stuck at lvl 24 for 1 and an half month cause refinary didn’t give me a single uncomm ore?
prime wedge
@cloud crescent scopley has statistics for uc and rare stuff, if you have something pending upgrade and need uc, they will reduce the drop chance from refinary, just to make you buy it
pulsar finch
I prefer a game I can play for years instead of weeks...
harsh notch
<@&509691205798592532> will anything be done about warp ranges or mine limits as more people progress the 3* resources are becoming over crowded as no-one can move further but more people are lvling up everyday on servers?
I know this will probably be ignored as it forces people to pay to buy instead of mining but would be nice to see something happen with this bottleneck situation
haughty escarp
I would like to see a ship class upgrade pack be able to upgrade at least one component of a ship. Not much to ask for in a $100 pack. My Saladin and Mayflower would appreciate it.
haughty escarp
Also getting g2 resources in the monthly pack serves me no purpose.

Where is all this 4 star material we need for all these prime research items, scopely?!
haughty escarp
Store. $100 dollar packs

1.) WHEN will we be able to invite friends
2.) Since you refuse to open the servers to new members or create a way for new ones to join what are you going to do about everyone being lvl 30+ and above?
3.) We are going to need more 3* nodes beyond WR40 if you don’t want new players.
4.) Forthe PaytoPlay players, you better slow down. Our server members ditch the game out of boredom once they hit lvl 30+ it’s the same rigamarole day after day.
hallow pumice
For level 2/10 at 60% that seems great
cinder garden
It's the same base stat stuff that means it's more like 0.2% by the time you can afford 60 rare gas
hallow pumice
Didn realize that was rare, thought it was common, now I'm disappointed in the research
gentle goblet
Yeah but you got 60% which is probably quite significant...
vagrant orbit
Well this is one of many non-sense upgrades the content is cool but the cost 😂😂😂😂
Drop rate of rare practically 0
marsh sable
@delicate sentinel you all need to rethink your pvp brackets when this can happen...
analog dagger
@marsh sable we have sent several tickets regarding the same issue you mentioned above. Was basically blown off by CS
It seems like it's either you pay out the butt to upgrade....or get bent over by a cyber bully who has nothing better to do than go around picking on lower level players.
@delicate sentinel let your marketing crew know that allowing this stuff doesn't increase sales...it lowers the number of folks that are going to continue to play.
Here's a thought...take everyone of these bullies and put them on one server...then they can PVP each other to death
torn wadi
I dont really understand how people can call it bullying to get their simulated war ships blown up in a simulated war game?
analog dagger
Look at the level of the guy who won
analog dagger
We all have our own views...speaking as someone that defended my country from "bullies" for the better part of two decades...I call it bullying
marsh sable
When there is no chance you can win, it’s bullying
analog dagger
We'll said sir
here's a thought....make it a two up two down rule for pvp. That rule would give players a realistic goal and the ability to actually defend against another player who wants to go around popping folks. It won't solve all the issues...but it would at least give players that can't spend a house note a week a fighting chance @delicate sentinel
vapid oar
Maybe Picard shoulda complained to Q about the PvP range of that L39 Borg cube
weak adder
@analog dagger the problem with two up or two down is that when you get higher leveled there will only be about 6 targets for you to be able to hit.
That gets very boring very fast
craggy egret
3up 3down was fine at lower levels, even at higher levels you can mount at least a nominal defense against someone 3 levels above you, but when someone 13 levels above you hits you its a joke, they can slice through everything you've got, even maxed out, and barely get scratched.
they don't even need a warship to do it.
It's nothing but greifing or boredom at that point.
"i've got my bulldozer, let's go run over some anthills!"
weak adder
Again brass man the issue is number of targets at that level. If there are no targets than the players that pay for others to play the game for free will quit and we all lose@the ability to play the game
craggy egret
Number of targets is not an issue, the issue is defense, players of equal level have equal defense (mostly) and it's very costly to attack them. the entire dynamic of the game is built to encourage griefing of lower level players because there is no customization or variability. there are more than enough 36-39 players for other 39 players to hit and there are more every day due to the hard cap, and they are way richer than the players 13 levels lower, but they won't do it for the most part. they want the easy squashes. tightening the levels will encourage more fighting among the powerful and less greifing of those trying to build.
They are paying the price (in more ways than one) for advancing too quickly. They're the ones that need to push for higher level content and they wont do that as long as they can bully lower level players.
It's a hobby for most because they know that's what these types of games, and specifically this one, are all about.
weak adder
@craggy egret there are not plenty of 36-39 players in all servers. Our server has 4 people that would fall into that category
craggy egret
Then they definately advanced way too fast.

I’d like someone to explain to me HOW this is supposed to be an example of balanced game play?

@azure sphinx
Send on to customer support please, they have the tools to deal with these issues
azure sphinx
I did report. I will send pics.
surreal mason
@azure sphinx there is both a block and a report button you can use.
azure sphinx
I doubt that they will sort out though. Cause some players that were even nastier are still in the game. Whatever brings them money.
Yea, thanks kraka :) I did report button.
surreal mason
If someone's ship has a higher power than ny total power that is a sign of an unbalanced game. A lvl 26 alliance mate gotnhit by a lvl 39. His total power is like 1.5mil. The attackers ship was 1.9 mil.

He was one shot, and the brel lost about 10% hull doing so
