I hope they are:

  • getting rid of Armadas
  • fixing the Mayflower
  • fixing broken nodes
  • fixing the 12hr shields
  • fixing Officer abilities
  • making packs worth the money
  • decreasing mat requirements for ship/base upgrades
  • adding events that are realistic for ftps AND adjusting requirements for a player’s level
  • increasing the payout for refining a batch of Latinum
  • fixing message notifications
  • making it easier to identify new msgs
  • getting rid of the rss toggle and just including system name, level and rss/mat on the same line
  • reducing how close you need to zoom in to show a base’s owner
  • fixing how many hostiles spawn in a system
  • increasing uncommons for events
  • fixing the problems of ship controls freezing when an enemy hunter spawns in a system
  • fixing the squares that appear after emojis
  • notifying us of event requirements before they roll out so we can save up for them (officer/ship xp, etc)
  • making ALL content obtainable for ftps
  • if not getting rid of stupid armadas, change them so they are more focused for the whole alliance and earn at least a few rare armada directives for every armada kill... and a timer override to start armadas quicker
  • ABORT function during warp drive charging for accidental recalls
  • finally adding additional player stats for admirals
  • seeing what you can actually get from a raid, not everything in vaults that you can’t touch

What else?

@delicate sentinel Is it to much to give a notem one day prior if you plan a maintance???? Nobody reads the galaxy chat, cause there is to many rubbish written in there and some of us doing dailies and dont read permanently!!! A minimum of service would be nice Scopely

@forest raven Panic already apologized in announcements

He always apologies for it and getting whorst next time, last time was 2h in front, now 1h, next time after maintenance, if he's not fit to get us info over maintenance he should change job

What they trying to do, run off people with this last minute, no heads , bs.

@patent bolt Its everytime the same, it's not an issue of just 2 announcements today. Every week the have different maintenance windows and every week you can't plan your mining and active shield time. This sucks!!!

hasty plover
#

@uneven crown You're asking them to fix longstanding problems and new problems they created? Nah That'll just get in their way of pissing off the community even more. I'm done paying for this trash. Telling all my alliances to do the same.

#

Our Moderators are also depending on being informed in time.... it agree that this is internal Scopely process issue.

2 hour notice made people mad. So let’s see what a 1 hour notice that game was going down... nice work Scopely #fail

@patent bolt agreed. Actually feel kinda bad for all the 💩💩 the mods I’m sure get on these days

That lack of notice is a real problem. I will have to stay awake instead of going to sleep just so I don't get raided overnight. Ridiculous!

I don't feel sorry for mods anymore, they need push panic, gala for info, CM needs to push scopely to provide them info, but no one of them really cares

#

@delicate sentinel it's been 1.5 hours, why is the game not back up? Some people have this thing called shields that have to constantly be babysat, especially since several types of shields are glitched and fail early.

Has only been down 40 minutes here

by my calculations game should be back up in.....

#

@nova sierra yeah, my bad, I thought I saw the announcement at 10 to 3 not 10 to 4.

Even so, the 2nd point about shields stands as-is.

i didn't and wouldn't refute that bit 😉

Can I come work at scopely? I really want to be able to screw up this bad and not only keep my job but profit from it.

::puts wallet away::
Again with the last minute notice about maintenance? So very unacceptable. Whomever has the authority and keeps making these decisions should be fired for incompetence.

@delicate sentinel Don't sweat it; just give us a few hundred uncommon and maybe a dozen rare refined materials and we'll be right as rain ;)

Or just add 8hrs to my shield while I actually go do my job today... but that won't happen because being raided dry=💰💰💰

Way to screw up the game completely. Stop doing these surprise maintenances and double check your work. SMH.

Recruitment chests broke too

Don't open any chests. It's a waste.

Scopley better have a compensation pack for this. Iost some good chests. But, I don't know why I would think they care or will give anything of value away to make up for it.

karmic latch

Chests opened fine

#

Even with no luck scopley should manage one, only one maintenance without extra bugs, but no they can't, slowly i think it's on purpose and we all in kind of experiment "how much crap can a company do till we finally give up playing" . Im close to saying goodbye, the way how scopley acting is a joke

That’s all good but what about those players that don’t go on global?

@delicate sentinel give everyone 100 unc and 10 rare of each 3* mat. I think that's fair compensation

@nova sierra speak for yourself. I need 2k uncommon and 200 rares of each.

We have no information as for how long the maintenance will last, we'll tag everyone again when we know more!

Last time I made a purchase, my alliance had me checking my bank statements. I bought one pack and they each got anywhere from 4 to 6 gifts from me.

@delicate sentinel how about a warning before the game comes back online so we can be ready for it and maybe save one or two of some repair costs 🤨

Giving us materials as compensation, just wet myself. Only free things you get from Scopely is more bugs

Uhhh, you put a msg on discord telling us to apply shields & maintenance is in 5 mins? What about those who were sleeping, those who don’t have discord, those who had shields that went down just before maintenance, or those who were shielding just as it went down? You guys should auto shield all players when you do this!!!

@lugh#9481 I wont complain

#

@delicate sentinel and rest of staff, IF SCOPELY isn’t adjusting REFINERY SECRETLY then when your “USUAL” maintenance occurs there wouldn’t be a REFINERY PROBLEM. How bout you let everyone in on the slow degradation of refinery output to slow the pace of players progression. Instead of milking players secretly n slowly, send your coders back to school and hire a beta tester company so these issues don’t happen. Scopley looks like amateurs hour for 1 year now

nova sierra
#

Only thing that speaks to scopley is money however if you want the game to actually keep providing you money instead of falling flat on its face please actually put effort into caring about the game design and it’s players. You’ve used up your “sorry for the inconvenience” time to put some work in or their won’t be any more money

clever hedge
#

My players are very upset that there was no notice for this maintenance with some of them in bed when it started had timers set to put up a peace shield before work this is not fair

hoary saffron
#

Hahahahahaha, falling on deaf ears all. They dont listen or care. Panic does not even come on here and answer your questions. Venting here does not mean anything. Was there ever a Scopely representative on here explaining all this? They are laughing at all of you

clever hedge
#

Probably but maybe someone reads gotta vent to someone my wife doesn’t want to hear me rant and rave

Only way to get them to listen and react is to stop spending money in the shop. But we cant even get players to do that.

I'm in a car so I can't stay in chat, but yes we will deliver chests to compensate re: downtime.

Main example is £93 for 2 star uncommon packs when all we have is 3 star ships and bp for ships that you already have... time to walk away for good

Every player should get a peace shield automatically put up for at least 4 hours after maintenance is completed to protect all the working paying players

Spent thousands on this game to get an edge and support the devs and the thanks I get is the run around by some 3rd party outsourced pr firm who handle support by giving no real response or resolution except "we've let our team know and they're working on it"

@delicate sentinel why have your improvements made the game worse? I now have to restart every time I use the chat windows rather than every 20 minutes or so. Why nor concentrate on fixing the game as it is before rolling out more “improvements”

@gloomy dock Because A. that's how scopely operates and B. CodingIsHard™

#

@tired fulcrum coding can’t be that hard, the game used to work beautifully, but then they tried too hard to monetise it and ruined the whole thing. Roll back a few updates to get the game working again, and then they can look at the code, fix the updates and the rerelease them. I’m not paying for any more extra content u TIL the game works again. If we all did that the loss of revenue would soon see things being fixed

What game have you been playing? There's year plus old bugs.

Is there any chance of getting my resources back after being raided when I couldn't get in game and others did ,as I had no notification or my 10 minute shield when first attacked, the compensation is absurd, considering what I lost because of the maintenance, if not?,Why not? And who is to blame for your repeated issues after maintenance?

Why do you not automatically apply a shield to all bases after maintenance or server downtime. Similar games do this (Game of War for example).?

Thanks for the base drain scopely your surprise maintenance was a really great decision on your part no advance warning. Believe it or not people do have lives and are not on 24/7. And the compensation chest that was a laugh as usual. Why don’t you give us actual useful compensation in amounts that are actually meaningful when you cause us to lose materials in quantities it’s taken much time investment to get to.

I don’t know how he can when I can’t hit lvl 20s with my kehra or vahlkas, because the differences in ship power prevent me from doing so. This shit is absolutely ridiculous, 456k power ship vs a 39k power ship.

#

The base is one thing, but I always see a ship that’s not doing anything and I can’t hit the ship because of power lvl. What the fuck?!

The guy has 3 mil in power, I don’t have anywhere near that. I’m not mad at the loss of ship, I’m just mad that it was able to happen in the first place

Good morning,
I'm not here to waggle my finger angrily at the devs who must have seriously had a tough day yesterday... And while all this "maintenance chat" was kind of crazy and fun, I would like to ask why there was a difference in the reward pack between me (lvl 24) and my mate (lvl26)... It would have been fair, in my humble opinion to grant the same to everyone as we were all out of the game for the same amount of time... Now, I have learned over time to not get any expectations regarding freebies in game and I'm grateful for the 500 lat I got, but why does lvl 26+ get 1K and lvl 25- only 0.5K ?
Morning ranting...
Have a good day y'all !

tired fulcrum
#

@open bison Scopely isn't interested in fair. Or players getting more than at best, a little.

open bison
#

@tired fulcrum, I guess that this is where we disagree ? I never paid a dime to get to where I am now. Maybe they guessed "ok, P2P must be 26+ so they get more prizes and 25- are mostly F2P, so it's only half the rewards" ?

tired fulcrum
#

Where do we disagree? You think scopely cares about fair? That would be a hard case to make.
Having said that, everything is tiered...the higher the level the more rewards one gets from events, the more stuff there is in the same priced packs in the $ store. So it makes sense lower levels get less 'compensation' for the down time than higher levels.

open bison
#

I think they're mostly fair, to be honest. I would never have made 500 lat during the downtime...

I was half expecting to be raided, 2mil Tri tokens were nice though don't really touch the sides at my level (29) particularly if I was emptied as I have much more than this.

Lessons need to be learned from this @delicate sentinel

If the maintenance was planned, let Panic promulgate down to everyone so we can apply shields. If it is unplanned, or at short notice either apply a free 12 or 24 hr bubble to everyone, or adjust the 10 minutes emergency shield time to a few hours so if we cant get back online, at least if someone hits our bases the damage is mitigated.

Yesterday‘s „compensation“ for the maintenance-desaster was a joke 😡. Especially the so-called „refinery-special“! Could only refine 3500 per sort, but at the same time the normal refinery did not give one single piece of uncommon or rare (2 staples each, Lvl 33)!

<@&509691205798592532> I know you are not part of the developers team but maybe you can pass the word along. The refinery output is extremely poor. I just refined 75k of 3* gas and all I got were 61 items of common refined gas. And at my current level (28) I need hundreds of uncommon gas. What is worse is that I could have easily bought those 61 items of common refined gas using latinum. I have D'Vor, I'm constantly mining raw latinum, at my current level this kind of refinery output is pretty much useless. It's almost like an insult. It took me almost a whole day to mine those 75k units of raw gas and that's all that I get from them? Come on!
Thank you.

#

@mint sedge 75k at a time is a waste

nova sierra
#

But, to be fair. Yes there are some balance issues they should work out.

mint sedge
#

I thought that they fixed the refinery problem that was making the output of 12k batches more attractive than the output of 75k batches. Did they not?

#

I thought that now the larger the input batch the better are the chances.

nova sierra
#

They tweak the refinery a lot. Mainly, the issue is that statistically people can get bad luck streaks even though aggregate across the game hits their targets. I also think they vary by server as well.

mint sedge
#

As I said it was like a slap to the face.

#

75k of raw gas transformed into almost useless 61 units of common gas.

#

I do mostly 1 batch. Occasionally 2. Never 3

mint sedge
#

They could have added a message saying "in your face, bitch"

Hold out for bonus refinery

#

3 batches has never been worth it

mint sedge
#

Waiting for bonus refinery might be wise if we could know for sure that we will have bonus refinery once a month.

#

When you do 75k batches, game see how desperate you are for uncommon, rafinery extra don't give uc than, just to push you to buy packs

#

From a certain level, uncommon materials are a must. It is no longer a desperate craving. You simply need lots of uncommon to have a bit of progress.

@delicate sentinel ...Panic can you please express to the developers that their prepare for war event is impossible to do unless you’re a level 39 and get to just kill hostiles. They should change it so everyone can do that rather than just the strongest players get rewards. It is rather inequitable for them to do events like that and the replicator event that requires you to spend what you don’t have to get what you need. Would be nice if they thought through these a little more to include others than just the major paying players.

Remember when people wanted a 2 lvl cap on stronger players attacking weaker players? How is it fair that a lvl 28 or 29 can hit my lvl 24 base and ships? Even if I did spend money on this game there would be a disproportionate advantage between players 3 to 4 lvls apart. This type of disparity only perpetuates the bully culture already rampant in the gaming community. If the developers are comfortable with being complicit with bullying by all means leave things the way they are. Another reason this game will not get another dime from me.

Your protection of 10 min when we are attack , It is some scrap. I am level 22 (since 24 hres) I have a minimum of stocks and I was attack by a level 29 who is bigger than my base. One attack and i am empty. Bravo for your 10 minutes protection. That or nothing it is the same thing. You do not help small players or players who want to play quietly.

I would like to see a change to the shield mechanics, where shields cannot be brought online for a minimum of two hours after an aggressive act. This is for the griefers who pop mining ships then drop a shield to prevent any retaliatory attacks. We need to be able to respond.

The 2 hours it is for nothing if a level 29 can attack a label 22. The ship of level 29 is bigger than my station. One attack and the station is empty. The 2 hours will not change anything.

@opal merlin it will if you've got alliance members that are strong enough to take him out. We've got griefers who everyone would absolutely love to smash, and we have the power to do, but they live under shields whenever they aren't actively hitting miners, and even when they're hunting they'll pop a shield at the first sign of danger, drop it to it more miners, then pop it up again. 2 hours seems like a fantastic suggestion. it would make pvp WAY more viable and fun.

it would change the way wars between alliances are fought too.

@upper galleon Combat is ‘bullying’. Changing the pvp range to +- 2 would end this game faster than armadas is. There is no strategy, only ship power differences. If scopely cut the number of bases and ships/players one could pvp with, the only thing there would be to do is mine. End of game. And end of scopely’s income, so end if game.

upper galleon
#

That is one opinion with no reasoning with which to backup said opinion. Another theory is that a more fair pvp system could create a higher quality/quantity competition. Strategies would shift to who could generate a better crew build for station and ships, and Scopely would still get its money from people upgrading crews, ships, bases, etc. As it is right now the abilities of the crew characters is almost nullified by the current pvp standards. The idea that people would stop spending money on this game because of a more restrictive pvp lvl vs. lvl is ridiculous. For example, there are plenty of lvl 24's like me that are stronger because they spend money to buy special boosts in research and building. In fact, I think @Panic and Scopely would probably see more people spending money to try to out perform close rivals in lvl. So, with reason, I do not think +/- 2 lvl restriction would be detrimental to the game and it would limit the rampant bullying.

tired fulcrum
#

Mine is without reason but yours is? Well ok then, your superior logic wins. I concede.

timid crag
#

A lvl 33 with a 350k horizon hitting a lvl 24 with a 50k envoy is not strategy. A lvl 26 with a 250k faction ship hitting a lvl 24 with a 50k envoy is still unfair, but within reason. It is a defendable strategy because at 24, you have a kumari which can potentially guard against said 26's faction ship. A 24's kumari will never stand up to a 33's anything. Introducing strategy will make the game better for every player and will introduce more purchases as crew becomes more important than power alone. Make pvp +/- 2 levels.

vapid oar
#

Pvp range +/- 2 was an emergency plan to keep teen lvl players from quitting. It has served its purpose. Do not impose a "training wheel" system on players who dont want it. Boredom is not the only reason and Scopely knows more about its profits than we do.

#

Ranges should be narrowed, but using a 9 level disparity to justify a 2 level pvp range is dishonest at best

#

Use assumptions, theories, and feelings to support such a narrow range if you must. I will use a real example.

#

If my teammate is getting raided by players 3 levels above or below me, I can do nothing to stop it

Hi, I recently unlocked Hikaru Sulu Uncommon Enterprise Crew and noticed one of his abilities is labeled "Ranking Fire". I believe this may be a misspell of the nautical term "Raking Fire", which in sailing naval warfare, raking fire is fire directed parallel to the long axis of an enemy ship from ahead or astern. Although each shot is directed against a smaller target profile than by shooting broadside and thus more likely to miss the target ship to one side or the other, an individual cannon shot that hits will pass through more of the ship, thereby increasing damage to the hull, sails, cannon and crew.

#

Anyway thought I would let someone know, (probably has been mentioned before by someone) I'm fairly new to the game and thought I would say something cause knowing is half the battle. Happy Veteran's Day, and thanks for the great game.

Message to Svopley regarding severe issue to my gaming due to their 2nd maintenance problem lasting several hours and why it was so severe to me. "Thanks, for the response, even if not the correct answer. I feel my situation is more unique than most though but Scopley's response is not want I wanted to hear. Please consider: 1. I planned for the 1st maintenance and shielded 2. Moved rss and dilithium to do my building upgrade and to start building my Horizon right after the 1st maintenance 3. Your 2nd maintenance was sudden and unexpected 4. I had a shield that lasted a few hours but your 2nd maintenance lasted several hours so my base was defenseless with no ships in port and no shield 5. My base was in fact raided before I could get back on even though I was on Discord watching for messages, and where I voiced my concern about my base being undefended 6. My RSS were stripped away forcing me to tap into my remaining RSS 7. Hardship was incurred due to not enough dilithium and RSS to do my upgrades and start my horizon 8. I worked hard to build and save my RSS to do the upgrades at level 26 and to build the ECS Horizon 9. Scopley's policies are lacking and I will raise my concerns in a friendly way on Discord, Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook. 10. Thanks for looking at the issue.

Some coincidental actions on my part as I did plan to upgrade my base and build my horizon right after the 1st maintenance finished. Wasted rss but a jackpot to another player.

Hey Scopely shills how about some notice on these bonus refines? As a player who's miner lives for about 8 minutes at a time before being blown off a node, or having to go protect other players It would be nice to have a few days to focus on mining so I can get a benefit out of the bonus refine. I honestly hope this game dies. It's ruined the Star Trek name in my opinion.

craggy egret
#

@hasty plover we have this lovely refinery icon now that lights up whenever you have refinery options to be used. That's a notice. We've never recieved, nor are we likely to ever receive, advance notice of a bonus refinery. The only suggestions I can make are 1) refine smaller batches so you always have a reserve, 2) find safer places/times to mine, 3) get your server to accept mining treaties (ROE). Many of us were once victims of the wild-west mining attitudes of a young server, it sucks for anyone who's not a top player.

When is this game going to stop alliances from bullying? It is tiring to watch them and their store bought ships picking off and making all the rules for the game? You could fix that if they were only allowed to attack other ships or bases that were within the same point value of their own ships. You wouldn’t have a 500,000+ ship attacking an 80,000 ship.

Thanks Scopely, for the worse day and night of my life and the unfair ban on me. I renamed myself and my entire alliance , all out of fun, to prove fools the BRIT team and their leaders, for declaring war on almost every alliance on the server. They were loosing that war very hard and I was fighting them hard,a woman winning a war game, unthinkable, unacceptable.
So they decided to change their alliance tag every hour or on every raided player, so they could hide from the entire server. Sneaky move hun?
But then this woman decides to take their take and make fun out of them. I renamed my team Britmaniacs, hashtag for Britney Spears fans, and I declared war to everything that their leader did and a few more war declarations such as IRS,VAT,
Keys, Stairs, Sugar, Moon, Mars, Bicycles, tornados, and also to imaginary alliances.
As their admiral tag was HARRASSMENT, I changed mine to Embarrassment
I got a 24hour bam from game from scopely, totally unfair and very shameful for me, too shameful unfortunately, it’s been 18 hours since that ban and I still can’t deal with it. my rights to express my self and my team were violated. It’s not about the rss raided on my base, it’s about the manipulation of scopely bam rules that scare me. I never insulted or offended anyone in game or in life. I would shoot myself if I would ever had to do such a thing.
I play this game fairly and with honour, I am a smart person, woman or not, I am a tough competitor, but I never ever insulted, offended or hurt anyone or anything, not even a fly.

I'm not sure what the rules are on inactive admirals... But start by submitting a ticket to customer service. It would help to tell them how long your admiral has been inactive.

I think the heavy ram dependency is creating alot of bugs. While restarting the apps are able to solve most situations, but restarting apps every few minutes and so many times just to complete on daily tasks and events, that is totally not fun and battery draining at the same time.

As of right now I need 28 officer badges to upgrade officers that I could otherwise upgrade right now.
Badges need to be abolished. Who the heck thought they were a good idea anyway? Don't you control officer advancement enough by starving us of faction credits?

#

Oh, and 32 days and 1,600 faction credits spent on loyalty 2 boxes for 0 badges. Over 100k hostiles destroyed for 0 badges.
Don't pretend they are obtainable any other way than cash.

May I request that when maintenance is estimated at 2 hours, you don’t restart before that time. I know most are concerned with it taking longer than planned, but I know that is unavoidable without vastly overestimating time. However, I would like to be able to confidently put down the phone without worrying.

How the f are we supposed to raid bases?

I’m level 28 and my Mayflower can’t even crack a dead lvl 24 base

@uneven crown What level is your Mayflower, What officers are you using?

Well... to put it another way: My Tier 5 horizon could crack this base before. They are forcing us to hit way below our own levels.

#

Mayflower is tier 4 level 20.

#

Fed officers

#

I see what they are doing... forcing us to hit lower level players to inspire them to buy packs, disguised as “playing more strategically.”

elfin lotus
#

So that puts you under 300k power on your Tier four.

#

Have you tried using Aug Oficcers, they are designed for base hits. If you are less than 300k Power, you will have a tough time at it with a Mayflower unless augmented by crew and the Station building, Science Lab.

It’s not really that difficult to figure out... I hit a dead lvl 24 base with three ships... they all died even though the hull of the base was gone after the first hit. Used to be able to take scraps from it with my 198K horizon alone.

@delicate sentinel @weak marten please pass along to your friends at Scopely that they have just killed off the Free To Play Player. With the millions of rss needed to level up bases to be able to build faction ships, it is now impossible for players on a budget to enjoy this game. I just experimented on a dead base that my best ship, a level 20 kumari could 1 hit and only need 20ish min of repairs. Took 5 attacks. Didn’t even get enough rss to cover repairs.

Solo raiding isn’t a thang anymore unless I hit lvl 22s

I can officially say this game could not suck any more than it does right now. This is the WORST version of it I’ve seen.

I’ve been saying for months they are trying to run the ftps off the platform and this really does prove it.

proud panther
#

ya a lvl 33 isn't going to have much more trouble with a 1500 base than a 250 base but the rest of us little guys that can only raid less than 5 lvls lower are screwed

the level restrictions for raiding need to be removed for the lower players or increased for the 30 and up

So another superb update,all think it's cool, " oh look i got so much power now " but all forget that ride will be now for cash player only because the repair speedups cost will finish all f2p player.
Nicely done again, more unbalance in a already unbalanced game.

elfin lotus
#

Just tested it out. BSes and Augment Crews are playing a bigger part in this, especially the augment crews. I put the augs on the Mayflower and I destroyed a level 26 base, and my mayflower is Tier 5 at 490k. The base was at 2.7m defense.

#

So yeah, Augments definitely play a huge role now, as they did before. It was just that people rarely used them.

@delicate sentinel I think y’all went overboard on the base protection. If I can’t raid bases I might as well quit.

#

I havent tried raiding a base yet, but I do know my once one-shottable with a horizon base of 800k has gone up to 8million. Hopefully that limits one shot with a miner technique

elfin lotus
#

Well, it sort of makes sense from the Role Playing perspective. I mean, a base should have strong defenses, and scale appropriate to their upgrades. Once the base is cracked, it is easy to loot.

#

I still think a decent faction ship should be able to take my base it just might take one or more hits

Before, a base was weaker than a single ship of less power.

@solid elk Your opponent has Moreau, and Krell...

#

I can raid just fine. It takes a little more involvement of the augments, type of ship. It makes sense too, a Base without its ships should be able to withstand some hits. As it was before, I was able to crack a base, without ships docked, that was roughly 300k more power in one shot. How is that possible. That is like saying a Station with 4 platforms is less powerful than a single surveyor.

@elfin lotus What lvl are you now?

They say that Faction ships have been boosted … Wouldn't that make the Franklin a faction ship because it is technically of the Federation? 😄

solid elk
#

@elfin lotus yes same crew as yesterday. only with the difference that his Saladin was much stronger

elfin lotus
#

@solid elk Right, Sally is a "Tiered" class ship, and it might have something to do with the Interceptor upgrades. For example, my Sally is Tier4 and Mayflower is Tier5. I have more upgrades for Interceptors vs Explorers (I wanted to focus on Sally power). The health of the Mayflower was 415k, the Sally was 330k. After update, my Sally is 545k and my Mayflower is only 500k.

solid elk
#

that's right but pay attention to the damage. yesterday it was tight as I won. today I destroyed only one third of it. where is justice still there?

Oh you are the Mayflower.

#

Right … Moreau only mitigates damage against hostiles.

#

so she is ineffective in this fight.

@elfin lotus

Now listen right now im reached the 25 and i didn't started the lvl upgrades. So i have a Tier 4.5 kumari i was able to hit a lvl 22 with it. Now i cannot crack a base with out 4-5 turn repair what cost is extremly high!

Example
For the repair i have to spend 55K tritanium in each round 5 times 225k tritanium. The guy have 400k tritanium 100k dil and over a mil par and i have 1 mil tritanium and i need it for tier upgrades so. I spend 225k to get 400k trit. thats slightly more than 50% of goes to the repair cost. Now if we watch this from your sight a faction ship cost (i don't know how much, because still try to punch out the fed creds) is more than mine so if you raiding a guy also 50% or 75% percent of res goes to repair cost, or your guys came online then activated a bubble you can easily come out in minus. Currently this update is careless because who invented this idea didn't thinked through properly.

Then@delicate sentinel there is a homework for you if you don't want to get more hate from the players. Sat down with the devs and investigate the whole economy system from the beginning to the end with/out the event prizes. Because now you guys turned up the whole thing.

elfin lotus
#

@solid elk Also, his sally is one level higher from yesterday as well...

solid elk
#

and that should cause this stark difference?

elfin lotus
#

@regal cypress I absolutely agree with you on the ridiculousness of the cost of the repairs; Mine is high as well, and I have to pick my targets.

What I'm saying is that station upgrades is pretty much useless if ships one shot you, when no ships are docked. It makes no sense. Hence the need to up the Station defenses. I mean look at DSN shows. DSN fended off multiple ships without assistance …

The only thing that can help with the cost will be the efficiency research of the RSS. Not much but some. So that is something the STFC dev team can refactor @delicate sentinel .

solid elk
#

yesterday the average damage was about 30k for both of us today the average damage is 25k for me and 65k for sala.

elfin lotus
#

Yes, actually, because the Sally is of a higher tier, it is going to scale greater, per tier.

Fantastic update! base raiding is so much better now, as it always should have been. Now very low level players actually have a chance at getting in on a base raid and higher level players can actually help them out. Ship updates look good too, Saladin is no longer king unchallenged.

brittle quarry
#

@craggy egret What? It became nearly impossible to crack a base! I always helped out my smaller members. Now I won‘t do that anymore as it is useless. I tried to open a lv27 base yesterday. After the station showed no hull anymore I ran 2salas and an NS into it, still with no result. Only the battle report showed that there was still almost 50% hull health left. My empty base now has 10M strengh. Which smaller player should get into it if a higher level can‘t?

craggy egret
#

@brittle quarry i'm not sure where your problems come from. we were able to crack and zero 3 level 39 bases today that were previously unraidable. we also got a number of our low 20's in on raids they could never even attempt before. Yes you can't one shot bases with relatively weak ships anymore, and that's how it should be. It takes some strategy now, and in some cases teamwork. Base raiding isn't an entirely solo endeavor anymore and that's fine, encourages players to actually work together.

brittle quarry
#

How many people and ships did it take? And my ships are not the ultra strongest, but certainly not weak. Well, they weren‘t before.

craggy egret
#

to crack the bases, one person one ship. For mid levels it takes 3 or 4 hits, but that's not too bad considering it previously took that much if ships were at home. bases should be able to defend themselves. having a level 27 be able to zero out a level 39 base though, that was a huge morale booster. Everything is tougher at mid levels, pvp level banding sucks, refinery sucks, ships always seem underpowered. It's all by design to entice us to spend, you either do that, grind like hell, or get powerful friends to boost you up.

#

Getting into the base is a bit harder, but cleaning it out is way easier. I often used to spend 20x as much repairing my surveys while raiding than I did on losing the ships in the initial crack. now it's actually cheaper.

brittle quarry
#

What ships? Im lv31, my bortas is now 700k my Sala 650 and my NS 350. before, when a lv27 was without ships I needed just one hit. Now, as said before, three hits to only get half way through.

lvl 27, my 475k Legionary can get through a level 25 in 3 hits.

Mhm. I don‘t understand that.

#

I had Khan‘s crew.

craggy egret
#

i don't know then, maybe you need to tweak lower decks or try different ships.

brittle quarry
#

See? Something is wrong, if the same ships can‘t even do half the damage now than they did before. And from the comments I am certainly not the only one. If I have Bortas and Sala, I don‘t see, what other ship should do more damage. NS was more than enough even before on a lv27 station with Khan crew.

craggy egret
#

it's not wrong, it was designed that way, did you read the update notes?

brittle quarry
#

I did. It‘s wrong. It is killing pvp. If you need an ally with very high ranked players willing to crack open stations and losing their ships and speed ups it makes it impossible for smaller alliances without big money spenders to take revenge. More people will drop out and our server is on the brink of dying anyways.

craggy egret
#

That's always been true to a large degree. griefers have been notoriously difficult to get revenge on. It's not killing pvp, it's making bases more defendable. it works both ways, it's harder to get into others, but it's also harder to get into you. It's not killing pvp at all though, mass miner killing is still very much alive. that's the thing i'd like to see fixed, it would change gameplay quite a bit.

Indeed, I have to say, the oversized base strengths mean that to economically raid bases now an alliance needs to have a whale....mid sized alliance won’t have a chance and who would risk 5 million trit repair bills when they may be playing possum....

kind fractal
#

Love this update. Best one yet. Ships are now balanced and the Sally doesn't completely dominate. Yes, bases are tough to crack and it will take strategy and teamwork to do it properly. But it can be done. My alliance of mid levels just cleared 300 mil out of a lvl 35 base (20 mil power with ships). But once we did even our low levels could partake.

#

Mid levels are still in the same danger of being raided by higher level players. Nothing changed there. What has changed is the big whales are now in actual danger of being raided and zeroed because once cracked, everyone can raid.

urban siren
#

Liking the update so far. Ship power boosts have made dailies less of a repair sink and some faction missions doable with bosses that otherwise have would stayed out of reach for some time.

Raiding is definitely harder now however I like that it is less of a no brainer one way street of high level players punching down with impunity. Previously anyone with a decent kumari or faction ship could one shot mid level bases, sometimes even with ships in. Conversely even if you cracked a higher level base their "dead" defences would keep your low level survey ships out when emptying

So what's the point in having a decent faction survey ship now?

Give it another 12 months snd when g4 ships are more common, it will happen again to the rare faction ships. Then we all have to upgrade again.

Some of the best fun a few months back was relying on your alliance to help with raiding. That went away as players grew in strength. This update brings it back in a big way. I think people have just gotten too used to solo raiding which was far less fun in the first place.

keen meadow
#

Maybe for you, i enjoyed it.

brittle quarry
#

@hollow pike it just forces smaller alliances to merge into bigger ones and anybody trying to swap alliances will only just look for the ones with the biggest players. There is no way of being spontaneous anymore. You need to wait till there are enough strong people online and then you need to find someone without a shield worth raiding. I was always able to raid bases on my own as well as with others. Now I am forced to. I don‘t like being forced into a certain behaviour just because.

Yeah now the only type of viable raiding is alliance raids which usually requires a lot of materials in the enemies base to even be considered for a raid

I think the balance may have shifted too far towards bases and the investment made in cracking a base can be lost quickly. As long as you're reasonably observant throughout the day, you can pretty much go without shields after the update.

I'm ops level 27 and before the update I could reasonably attack another level 27/28 if they weren't on. Even if the target joined within 30 minutes, it could be worth the chance since I could crack an undefended base with one or two hits. This is no longer true and I cannot attack a level equal or greater than mine. I'm forced to focus only on significantly lower levels because the base guns devastate my ship very quickly. Of course, the limits placed on PvP make there very few targets that will now fit within the raiding window as it is. These changes will dramatically reduce the amount of raids players can do.

Example, a level 24 base with no ships took my 380k Kumari 8 attempts to crack. The amount of speed-ups and repair costs make it VERY risky to attempt to crack a base. If the player comes on (which he did in my raid), you lose your entire investment. This happened 3 times to me last night and I eventually gave up raiding. What I learned was that if you're going to attack a base, you need to target the lowest levels possible in order to ensure the payback on the time and RSS. This seems to be the opposite of what developers wanted; it further incentivizes higher players to focus on lower level players.

That said, I do like the fact that once a base has been cracked, its base guns do not fire at the miners. This allows higher level alliance players to crack a base and have lower levels join in the raid. That's a serious positive. Previously, those lower levels could never participate because even a seriously diminished high level base could destroy a low level miner. So I like this change. I'm just disappointed that it's so crazy hard to attack a base now. There needs to be a happy medium.

@tawny walrus I agree with your last comment. I do like that smaller survey ships can now take part in the drain. The initial cracking is just too expensive. And your right that this will cause everyone to focus on the lower range of PvP targets.

stuck delta
#

The lower ranges have less loot though. I think the bigger picture needs to be thought about. What about Armadas on Station combat? Suddenly a 8mil base becomes crack-able with 5 ships?

ruby sail
#

The new updates to base strength are a complete disaster. Base raiding all but over. To find a target who’s offline bubble down with enough trit to make it worthwhile is next to impossible, and you need 3-4 teammates to make it happen, so splitting loot between everyone as well. Raiding is completely dead

#

And now because we cant raid, everyone’s starving for trit except the few huge players in the galaxy who have hoarded it all

#

Absolutely ridiculous where its gone. Base raiding sustained trit and par totals because mining it is super inefficient. Now its completely dead.

@teal ice whenever you buy packs they only make more expensive ones available to you. Its a personalized selection. Another one of the many stupid things Scopely has in this game. Just because I bought one or two $5 packs doesnt mean I can afford $50 ones. But as soon as you buy a few the ones available to you skyrocket in price. When you ask them about it they just shrug their shoulders and go “oh its an algorithm we have no control over it” bs

The new updates to base strength have just killed the game for me. A bas I raided a day ago is now too powerful to hit.
Pvp has just been killed off in game and because of the poor refining rates for uncommon materials, this game has now turned into nothing but a mining sim.

You can't get enough materials to upgrade at a decent rate and now you can't pvp player bases because of the ridiculous strengths.

This game is more off balance than an alcoholic on a Saturday night.

You just killed this game. Lvl 24 I hit 3 days ago with one hit I can’t get into with less that 4 hits. I finally get a horizon to the point that I can use it on players above me and you pull this base change crap. You have completely destroyed this game. Thanks

lvel 26 with legio at 580k (435k before) i need to crash 6 7 legio on a lvl 25 base to open it, without a vessel on base, even level 22 are expensive in repairs. This means that even raiding in group is just useless you need to have high level of tri and dil on the base. Thank you scopely for killing the interest of the game. my days are counted, I will let go and consume my resources, star trek has converted into farmville. I do not get the point of scopely to move into this direction, it was so fun hunting for bases hitting them, some players were connected, some other not, and overall you would slowly ramp up in resources to progress in the game. The dollar approach will just kill the game and the jobs of scopely developpers. I give my self till the next maintenance to see eventually a shift in scopely, but I know I am a dreamer...

The new changes are overall positive. This really changes my game as raiding was my primary activity. It's a bit frustrating to figure out, but it's a fun challenge. I hope we'll see more options for attacking bases in groups, as my raiding range is greatly diminished. While it doesn't make sense that one level N player should be able to easily raid another level N player, if I have a group or 3 or 4 together, we ought to be able to do it more efficiently.

A member of my alliance said that since the rebalance while raiding a base, when the resources were exhausted, further hits did not give the ship additional XP. Has anyone seen or heard of this? Is this an intentional part of the rebalance - that a station can inflict damage which the player survives but no ship XP is accrued?

@rustic cipher once a base is cracked now, it’s weapons no longer function for a temporary period of time.

@hollow pike aha! well that's quite a fly in the ointment

Bases do not give xp now because ships do not take damage from a cracked base so it would be a little cheap to give out xp to an endless amount of hits

makes sense. I haven't hit a base since so didn't know defense platforms ceased after cracking. Thanks!!

Your base defense improvements might have gone a TAD too far. Level 28 base, with 3 ships (none over 300k) could not be beaten by a player who sent in 1.5mm ship x2, plus 8 other ships ranging in power from 500-800k.

@craggy egret that literally takes the fun out of the game. Part of the challenge is being online to avoid base hits or being offline and knowing when to shield. It also presents the challenge of figuring out who else was online or off while raiding. I would gladly go back to having to shield if it means I could raid. In trit starved. The game sucks now

granite torrent

  1. I think getting rid of the ability to Scoop and Scoot is good
  2. The increased defense of bases is WAY too much. Here is the scenario
    -Level 28 base with 3 ships (none over 200k) total 8 million power
  • 6 attacks from level 27 to 29 players (some with 500-800k ships PLUS 5 attacks with 1.14 mil power ships (lvl 33 player using Khan crew) to crack it

You can imagine the amount of RSS and speed ups it took for the level 33 player to break through.

How is that even remotely reasonable? The rewards on the base were terrible. @delicate sentinel Scopoly needs to adjust the bases the other way a bit.

why are you attacking bases that arent worthwhile then?

@last nest SMH. You failed at realizing the point. It's become ridiculously hard to raid bases now. That's not even factoring in someone who decides to troll attackers. It's not like 20mm+ bases are common. SOmetimes you have to settle for a base that has 2-3mm rss, and pre-update, hitting a base with 2-3mm RSS was worth it - even if only a little. So, offer some insight, and stop being a troll

Think it's good tbh, only whales will get raided now, anyone with few resources won't be cracked just for the sake of a horizon repair.

Overall the game must lose more players from lowbies that get raided to the point where they can't even repair their ships any more, than someone who has millions of resources and was too silly to shield it.

#

I say we live with it for a while and see what happens. Thinking of the bigger picture here - maybe sometime we'll be able to setup an Armada against a station. It really encourages Alliance hits on the bigger bases with more loot than previously when you could one shot a base with a horizon stealing 800k worth of resources. Yes there needs to be a happy medium.

I do like the trolling aspect though - the ship buffs let me do another level of combat training, so i'm currently sitting on 40m of dil and the only person silly enough to try and take it so far barely scratched the paint!

Suggestion: let people pool their aramada directives. I can run one armada a week from the daily directives. I've got 3 more days until I can run another. Why not let me get 3 other people to pay in 25 directives each. We could do one every couple days.

I‘m a f2p player as well, and I love these changes! In past my base gots 1 shoted by a lvl 31 player using his uss antares and take 1.2m home so for me it was really annoying to stay shielded all the day. Yes shield or share but now you have a chance to act staying for a while without shields. And yes it is possible to get 1 shoted but if a sally tooks home it’s cargo it don‘t hurt so much as a huge faction miner did. So thank you scopely. Yes we need to do some more tests but at the moment great job 👍

Btw I’m 23

I was one of the guys 1-shotting with a max horizon and faction miners. I agree that it wasn't fair. 22-24 was in a really bad spot as you could be hit by 30+ which is where that become possible

20 was ok but after that it was really hard to defend yourself

fading wing
#

It got better at 24 and 26 was where it stopped being completely unfair. Now two players at the same level can't really raid eachother. You really have to raid many levels down to have a chance. It'll be costly, and the defender can still actively defend easily. Even the bottom of my PVP range can defend against me solo raiding. I'd need multiple attackers to force someone to shield

#

if you are 23 now, you can probably fend of a level 30

Pretty obvious that Scopleys goal with the update was to kill base raiding. First they increased the timer from 5 minutes to 10 minutes, then they increased vaults and protected rss and now have pretty much ended base raiding.

Yeah - I agree. The goal was clearly NOT to kill base raiding. The goal was to fix it. They might have over-fixed it. They might also have more plans for it in the future. As a raider, I agree this significantly affects my gameplay. I could generally fly around and extract pretty much any amount of resources I wanted from bases. It was unreasonably easy (yes, I did invest a LOT into my survey ships and into augment crew) and very low risk.

#

I can't parse what you are attempting to say, but the no damage change is pretty huge. In the past, when I would crack a big base I couldn't share it with many of my alliance mates. If you need a 400k horizon to even get through a broken base, it's really limiting. And even if they could get in with a smaller horizon, the repair costs were pretty tough on them. Now I can share my raids, which is AMAZING. The down side, is my raiding range and raiding costs are drastically reduced, so I have a lot less I can share

small wadi
#

This would have been more of an update back when the game started. But to change the dynamics of the game so drastically over night almost a year in is pretty shitty. Pissing away months of goals in mind for research, ships, and base strength while strategically using shields to fend off other attackers is the bullshit part. imo

limber sky
#

If scopely can implement a system that gives rewards for attacking armadas and defending armadas that would help incentivise armadas. The cost of armadas are a bit too high, makes it hard to get people to want tok do much.
Why do you lose the tokens for armadas if u dont do armada? Should get tokens back if armada is canceled or if armada leader gets killed by other player. And fix the uncommon pack to have uncommons...

All of the uncommon armadas are broken save a few small ones... the "rares" are everywhere, so not very rare, as well as the epics. Basically, scopely vying for more and more money while not keeping up on their end of the deal. sell uncommon armada directives yet uncommons are left broken and unuseable, well call me crazy? but I'm not risking spending even more on rare and epic packs if the smaller ones aren't working.

Ok, so after a day of testing on the part of multiple alliances, base raiding has become VERY one sided. level 39's can STILL one shot bases with nothing but Faction miners. We tried raiding a level 39 base, it took 2 level 39's with near maxed ships, 2 level 38's, and a level 37 OVER ONE HUNDRED hits to finally crack the base. Needless to say we called in everyone available to drain the *%#^ out of it. Our mid 20's fed pretty good and were very happy to get something back from all the months of griefing brought down upon them.
But still...one hundred hits from high level players, while those same players can still one shot mid 20's bases with just miners. It definately feels like just one more set of unbalancing things in favor of the top end.
Am I happy about my base being tougher? Yes! now I can't get one shotted by people near my level. Has it fixed the griefing problem? No, if anything it's made it worse because now 39's can't just go mano-a-mano to avenge their lesser friends, it takes an entire alliance...in our case 3 alliances, to bring them down. High levels are more invincible than ever, and mid levels, while slightly safer, have an even tougher time advancing.
To be clear, i'm reasonably happy with the changes, i'm just hoping there will be additional mechanics introduced in the future that will address some of the newly created difficulties.

The new updates have made me want to quit playing altogether. The fact that now I cant even raid a base without killing 100 ships is wrong.

@left stone I feel the same way but for a number of other reasons. This is exacly what the free to play players asked for. They were tired of getting one-shot by us level 35's. Now on the flip-side is that if one of us level 35's gets cracked by your big bros'/sis's then you too can now take part in the raid to get the massive amounts of resources that big players have by using a low cost ship like an envoy or a Botany Bay. Now that is pretty cool/scary. Just watch out though when the level 35's come online, they'll likely level anything in sight and god help us all if they are a level 39, have the super jelly and aim to misbehave.

The NS being a mining ship is not the point. Changing the auto-bubble from 5 in to 10 min, meh, ok. Changing the vault limits, meh, ok. Changing the PvP levels, meh, ok. Minor changes to the game dynamics like these are meh at best. Inconvenient for those who were working with them, but overall general improvements. This update changes the game entirely. People have been spending money to improve their position, or planned out a path. Just saying that it is a mining ship is irritating, or saying that you have to raid as a team is annoying. This update does not solve the problem, just moves it while screwing with plans people have made for their account.

Was wondering where the $5 Armada packs went or even a $10 pack. I can save up enough directives to start one Armada during the entire armada event. So if you want to start any more armadas you have to buy a $50 pack? I spend money every month at least on the monthly $50 pack. Just to let you guys know that I think you would have made more money selling the $5 and $10 armada packs. I have ask many people in alliance that bought 4 or 5 of the $5 packs including myself. This event I won’t buy any at all just can’t shell out $50 every time I want something. I’m not turning this into a $200 a month bill. The game is fun but it is at the very bottom of my money expenses. I keep trying to keep people talked into playing but that one really put a nail in the coffin. Why no $5 armada packs? I would love a real answer.

I love the game I don’t even mind putting some money in it but forcing players to spend $50 or $100 is over the top. Not everyone has the same income as others but everyone is will to drop a $5 or $10 here or there. Just don’t get how only having those packs for this event is going to make them more money. Granted my alliance has many whales in it it makes my eyes stick eye the amount of money they drop in a week. But I bet they would make more money offering smaller packs to everyone then just hoping the whales will keep the game alive. There needs to be some firing and rehiring in the money making part of the game. Open the packs up to everyone All the cash pack sizes so everyone can buy at there spending level.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the Scopely funded accounts of the You tubers aka “Content creators” shouldn’t be used to win events should they...? SynqOriginal... abusing his free resources and ships given to him for YouTube videos a bit too much there... I know not all content creators take the freebies but we all know Synq does and this crosses the line and a lot of players feel cheated - especially as only 25 can rank in this event

#

Maybe he got upset after being emptied and posted on YouTube 🙈💩 <@&509690795536941056>

#

Not that he should be with all the freebies - didn’t earn it lol

Armadas require a team effort, he didn't do that alone, notice the 3 guys below him are all in his alliance. it's very likely some if not all of those guys actually paid to get the directives to play that many armadas to win the event. Content Creators aren't "funded" by Scopely, they get a few things here and there that they can demo to the players. they're not loaded down to dominate whatever server they're on. That being said, top alliances DO tend to dominate servers and judging by the results shown, he's likely in such an alliance.

Well guys... Armada's is 1 thing...but the recent update makes playing Klingon almost impossible. Raiding is almost impossible and cost tonnes of speedups... They increased faction ships.. but I must say Saladin owners have been too lucky... How can a interceptor be stronger than most other faction ships at the same level... Me being Klingon it is impossible to counter it with the D3 or Borthas... A B'rel cost 660€ it's just crazy... They messed up big time with the last update... Claim to upgrade play .. but just want us to spend tonnes of speedups for repairs so we buy the packs...

Did he ping community manager ? or Brassman... hum surely Panic 2nd account ^^ Well, Synq already tell us he can have all what he want to make his vids he just have to ask what he want and he got it. If he want to build T9 enterprise and do vids with it or ISS he'll have it. They can test, do things, do vids at anytime but he chose to do it on the running event, in the past he says he won't do it when events are running because player complain then he finally do it (again) so what's the point ?
Top wallet alliance on that server is Ger without any doubt but they can't keep up with that, personally i'm not complaining about it. Pay 2 win player are losing feels good to see all that money ranked 2 😂

Yes .. but I wish they told it in the beginning you have to play 2 alliance... If you play 1 alliance you should be rewarded...not punished... And also it strange...

For average players, it’s now impossible to raid bases, even low level bases without a faction ship. TY Scopely for this wonderful update. It only serves high level players or credit card players as usually. Thanks for the great play but as many others did, bye now.

Please please please start rewarding alliance contributions with alliance credits. They need to be acquired more in order for the store to be affective. It can’t only be the limited number from dailies and events. Reward alliance contributions, not top ones but all contributions and you will see a greater economy unfold within the game.

I really like the latest update with the new base defense/raiding. It`s no longer single player one shot (except from whales) but multiplayer and team effort. And now only bases that have a value are being raided, not just everyone as before.

rustic flicker
hollow pike
#

That base has to have already been cracked.

bleak mango
#

I’m having trouble with base scans they show the bases defences as being destroyed when they’re not, battle reports truly reflect what defences are left but the scans need to be corrected it appears they show the “old stats”.

Also considering ship repairs need massive amounts of tritanium taking on a base can massively deplete it, and yet it’s not replenished until much of the parsteel is reduced, the fact that you have a 10 min shield and now taking down a bases defences even with help is time consuming, it gives the defender AMPLE time, much more than before to respond meaning you may not even get to the tritanium. This is already in short supply galaxy wide, are there plans to address the lack of tritanium or the proportions of resources gained when attacking a base?

Lastly the base buff heavily weighs in favour of much stronger players who also tend to be the ones that have ample hordes of resources from before the buff but now it wd be virtually impossible to get any resources back from these players as the buff they gained was massive. These few 10s of players on my server sit on a large portion of the resources that the majority can not access. The large gap between available trit and trit needed has in many ways left only those with a large amount of tritanium able to raid due to cost vs gain and the general lack of this particular resource. Is this being looked into at all?

azure drift
#

I like the fact that most bases now require a team to raid. Seems a bit more fair and fun. However, there is a bug where bases are showing as dead when they are actually not. Rebalancing of power seems to be working well for me so far.

timid crag
#

@white musk I've thought of a good reason to leave it as is. Yesterday I participated in an armada where 3 alliances were trying for the same target. 2 of us were 10 seconds apart due to the glitch, but the third was several minutes behind us. Allowing the leader to speed up the timer would have theoretically allowed that third alliance to steal the target from the two who got there first. It'd be a matter of who gets all their ships there first rather than who starts it first.

summer cave
#

Narvalin, then it falls on the alliance to call targets and get ships enroute before you even put up a flag. Also - God forbid they add in any way to cut down on people being screwed out of directives...cause its not like we have them flowing like water and not say...inanely hard to get. Right?

bleak mango
#

@azure drift im not saying it hasn’t addressed power coz ur right it is good that it requires teams to cut down a base but the point is the buff was applied on an upward curve rather than a slope meaning that taking on a base larger than you is close to impossible even with a team unless one of that team is a higher level than the target and it’s more the trutanium shortage to allow you to repair enough times to take on any substantial base. I don’t know if we share a server but the majority of the trit in my server seems to be found in bases level 30+ and that’s from before the buff and they now have next to no chance of losing it but there doesn’t seem to be much of an effort to produce more trit, some event prizes for example yield millions of parsteel and then like 25k trit... my ship repairs cost 90k trit upgrading a component 10 mil trit etc yet I have more dil than trit and struggle to find or procure any trit. Even if I do it’s used and still require more.

false..

we had a 36 and a 39 in our server get raided

and almost a 37 but his alliance came to protect him

#

level 25+ were getting some resources off the 39 all night

craggy egret
#

@timid crag how is getting all ships there first any different than starting the timer first? It seems like a great idea actually, would force alliances to either start early and roll the dice with suboptimal numbers, or actually coordinate to get there first. It's absolutely terrible the way it is now because griefers just pop in at 20 seconds to start, kill the leader, then run. remove that absolute certainty of time and griefers instead have to get there as quickly as possible and actually fight to disrupt the group.

As of now with the introduction of the new ‘golden’ jelly this game is officially only for those who are willing to pay a lot of money 💰 . Only a few will have posession of this ship and then will become master of the universe ( read server ). Well done scopely 😤 you force a lot of players to leave this game. Level 39 attacking level 25 with this kind of power is no longer fun to play

#

@nova sierra first of all it is Black Jellyfish. Not golden. Second of all, that ship blueprints are available in Epic armada lootboxes for ppl at lvl 36+. And thirdly, it is bad compared to Enterprise, Augur and D4. True, if will be better when it gets upgraded, but currently it is just an early access feature. Will be available to all at later stages.

#

@nova sierra i know its the black jelly but you need to pay with 💰... a lot.. you can defend it all what you want and compare it to others and tell us if will become available for all.. yet again.. if we want to have those kind of ships you need to get deep into you pocket to get it. This is the tipover to not only pay to win but pay to stay alive. The only thing you can do at the and is shieldup 24 hours and just do mining... whats the fun of that. Scopely has no long term plans for this game for normal players.

#

Not true. Long term is the game they are making. But we constantly focus on our current predicament and don't see the big picture. You don't need money to buy it. Get in a good alliance, do armadas, do your dailies, lvl up, get to higher end ships. G4 is coming. And with it, easier g3

I could probably also break your base with a way smaller ship tbh

I’m level 30, almost unable to do my dailies. Unable to upgrade my ships and no longer able to upgrade/build on the station. I need about 6 months to get all the rss i need to do anything. So dont tell me that we can play for those bp. That is a lot of bs. To upgrade one part of my saladin i need 800 unc crystal, getting once in three day about 10 unc crystal by refining and about 50 unc crystal per month with missions or events.. do the math. If you dont buy packages you will not get any reasonable progress.

#

And i’m having the capability to see long term development of this type of software very well, also im at a good alliance and doing armada’s etc. All the rewards are not inline with the costs for porgressing in the game.

#

The rewards of my dailies are no longer inline with the effort i need to put into the game to get them done.

#

This is my 5 penny’s that i wanted to put here. Have a nice day 🖖🏻

#

Bdw when did the leveling changed again. A level 39 should not be able to attack level 25 ???? Also why out of proportion

#

Scopely needs to rebalance the game again

azure drift
#

@bleak mango all good points. However, it does seem to be that once a base is dead anyone of any level can now raid it without taking damage. Which is better than before. Again it come to team work to open it but small players can now help empty really bug bases which is a step in the right direction. I'm not saying all the battles are perfect now but this mechanic is much better.

nova sierra
#

It makes much more sense to have stronger bases, storywise

#

It's absurd to have your mighty base cracked by a Kvort in one hit

@azure drift I’m not saying the mechanic is broken at the risk of repeating myself it’s the amount of trit now required to break a base certainly one stronger than your own, who is most likely to have the rss to make it worthwhile, vs the shortage of trit currently in the server I’m on, may not be the same on all servers, and it might be. And @last nest that maybe the case but I wd strongly suspect those nice high level bases ur bragging about were prob also initially broken by p2w players who have bought something giving them trit or players of a similar level to those broken, if you’re trying say those bases were broken by hundreds of level 22-28 players I would have to say I wouldn’t believe you.

If you dont have the Trit why are you trying to raid?

#

I didn’t say I was trying to im pointing out a lot can’t because of the shortage of Trit the amounts even in events is poor, not many missions give decent amounts and mining the kinda numbers needed would take months.

For example, officer event atm over 3 mil parsteel for completion, trit not even 50k

@delicate sentinel so, pre update it would take effort to find a suitable base to raid. As lvl 28, i could find lvl 28 and below. Hopefully the player didn't troll me, but typically 1 of 5 raids netted rewards. I could spend 2 hours between search, crack, wait and plunder.
Now, as a lvl 28 with a 650 cent, 500k horizon, i am left bottom feeding for lvl 22s. My lvl 33 ally with 1.3mm ships needs to feed on 25s and below. Its just incredibly difficult and inefficient to hit anything else

Scopely product managers screwed the pooch on this. Its ridiculously hard to raid. The amount of RSS and speeds needed is nuts. The guns regenersting coupled with abikity for anyone to drain a base (after defenses down) is OK, but not needed (where was the need).

Are product managers going to adjust base defense to be a bit less obnoxious?

That's why bases got buffed

granite torrent
#

@nova sierra regarding bases, i fully agree that scoop and scout tactics (one shotting a base) should not happen. Lets see how this can be solved: as others have said, lvl 39 should never be able to hit lvl 25. Another, do not allow rss to be taken if the hit involved on a base with defenses. You can only take rss after defenses are down. However if you allow a lvl 35 to hit a lvl 25, then yea, the base ain't mighty. It crumples like a house of cards. Not all bases are mighty.

@frigid jolt

I agree bases being cracked before was bad. Here is how its bad

  1. obscene base pvp ranges from high lvl players. 39 vs 25....really?
  2. ability to scoup and scoot.

Fix the above twoz and base defenses (as they were) were fine

And for incidents similar, but with miners

Even assuming a 5+- raid level banding would not have solved that, if you sit on a lower level for a long time just upgrading your ships you would still be able to one shot those bases easily.
