So....everything folks have done spending hours upon hours killing reds to max faction is null. No direction from the devs given to keep us from wasting that time. So now...new direction...start over? Pick a faction and suck it up I suppose? I log in to see that the recent ship power update is now...also null. Do you guys want us to play or do you only want big spenders playing? I feel like I've just been punched in the privates.
What a waste of time
Agreed
And hope the 1 faction yiu choose lands the next dominate ship like the saladin was for midlevels cuz flipping factions will take 6months
I'm not even gonna worry about it. Most likely my last day playing. Good luck guys and galsš
This update was a complete waste for players in the low 30s. As far as Iām concerned the only thing it does for us is the scrapyard which you canāt speed up so it takes days or weeks to scrap a ship for a little g3. I too wasted a month trying to max another faction. I know I havenāt spent as much as some people in this game but Iāve still invested thousands of dollars and I literally canāt upgrade my ships with out spending hundreds more. This has definitely ruined a lot of the game for me. I donāt really care about the rep change, itās a bummer but whatever. Itās just that it makes the game way harder after we already worked so hard to get somewhere.
This update is going to cost Scopely players period. The max rep lock feature gave advantages to players and made many of us spend hundreds of dollars to capitalize on the strategy. Now that money is wasted. Reverse nerfing ships by beefing up the opposition is also a kick in the crotch. Every time you invest real dollars in a strategy Scopely fundamentally changes the rules in a way that makes that expense pointless. You canāt build a solid player base by constantly changing the fundamental rules and mechanics of the game. After spending thousands, I am done.
@strong kraken you know the solution, stop spending. Why people spend 100's for little return is a little crazy. More fun things to spend money on. This discord channel is a daily A&E of complaints. Nobody learns.
@upbeat imp Done and Done. I never minded investing in a game when I thought the devs gave a crap about fairness. After $100ās spent to have a strategy that takes months to execute destroyed by a fundamental shift in game mechanics ... they can find another sucker to support their development efforts.
@delicate sentinel why do maxes reps no longer lock? šš
Ships still locking up in battle....game still freezing....can an exec tell us wth we should invest time on this game?
@frigid tree hey man regarding the mine issue earlier, its not a one off. Everytime i take my miner off the node the game is treating it like ive just entered the system and a hunter comes after me
And yes ive reset the game and used a fresh miner
@surreal condor ooc did you ever recieve a reply?
@fluid granite - Panic said he'd look into it. Nothing yet.
@surreal condor Thanks Jess
Letting faction rep fall below the previous lock point was a really, really dumb move. Many, many strong players are seriously considering quitting. I have been trying to talk people down, but that needs to be fixed or nothing I could say will matter.
I support the restoration of faction locks. I would like to some day own rom and kling ships... and be able to farm credits for both. Additionally, scrapping needs to be able to use speed ups.
I just did the math scoply youāve lost your minds. This will kill the game unless drastic changes are made and fast. I would need to kill 3.2 million level 40 transports to max 1 rep. If I did 1 million in rep a day that would take 3-1/2 years. A whale on my server said he could buy a new Lamborghini and Ferrari for the cost of play lvl 40-50. RE-Think this update fast.
Right? Guess the AI thinks that this will generate more money
That was a bug
I think they said that they didnāt mean for that to happen and theyre working on it
Getting rid of the locked rep is absolutely ridiculous.
@delicate sentinel <@&509691205798592532> here is the deal. We got new content and at 11:31 EST time I say, yay, will upgrade a few ship components. I spend 900 Uncommon Crystal, 45 Rare gas and 12 rare ore. 29 minutes later I see an event that actually reward spending those. Iām pissed off right now because those events pop up without warning and we end up screwed by those, open a ticket with tech support and ānothing that we can doā HEY! Do you honestly think I would have spent those mats knowing there would fe this event less than half an hour later? I want those rewards and I want you to get some advance warnings of the upcoming events, at least 12h prior the events. This is the least you can do. Itās bad enough to get hosed by those events but at least we could plan a bit ahead. Seriously make something up for this blatant disregard of care about players. Check your tech support if you want.
@weak sluice - the Mod Team has requested advanced notice more than once. Supposedly it's under consideration, but we've done what we can as volunteers.
@surreal condor I have to say that you have very little to do here. Just using your hopefully farther reaching voice to solve this crap, Scopely need to get their act together, not the moderators!
Itās not hard to send out an approximate event schedule subject to change. I play other games and they do the same. I jumped on ops 27 due to that event. Now regretting as that couldāve gone into ships to get event rewards not including the research and other ship upgrades I did last week
@pseudo zephyr - I don't disagree. And the mod team has recommended it more than once.
That's all I can say on that.
So scopely never checks their discord? Just mods?
Panic is a Scopely employee.
But we tend to curate and relay the feedback as they can't monitor all day.
So Jess is there a break in the mission stream. I seem to have hit a dead end
Thatās a bummer other games have more than just one employee monitoring feedback on these channels along with moderators. They seem to work with feedback to create better changes while also not losing their purchase income from gamers. Lastly, itās too bad that scopely decided to tier this update to the higher level players. Basically if you are a 24-30 the message from this update is spend money or you wonāt be getting much in terms of new game play which is sad
hit the nail on the head boss
anything remotely positive for a player....a free to play player.....has been taken.
all this update did was drive away moderate spenders. whales gonna whale and f2p is gonna f2p.
I wasnt a "moderate" spender....but now....Im a NO spender
maybe in a few months when no one is doing anything they will lower building costs or make event rewards worth the time
wishful thinking
nope whales will keep them going
yeah they will learn sooner or later
im sure someone is doing the math right now on just the new miners cost lol
Oracle of End - Kill 10 Kriosian Rebels in the Nequencia system.
No Rebels only Romulans, mistake?
just kill the hostiles there it will work @nova sierra
Ok, thanks.
How about allowing us to delete missions. I canāt do the new ones because I have too many and canāt kill hostiles that are 2 mill more power than I am.
@ancient knot - you can archive missions you don't intend to do right now. Unfortunately, it does not remove them from your total, just the active missions tab.
I am aware but I am maxed out and canāt even accept any new ones. Archived shouldnāt count but they do.
We need a scrapyard for missions. Someone tell Panic to make it so š
Or.....here me out here...... reduce the hostile power level
Or donāt put them in systems I canāt even reach!!
Reinstate the floor on faction reputation at 10 million
Did ANY of the bugs/broken stuff get fixed?
Systems arenāt empty anymore and nodes work (for now)
Hostiles 40 and higher jumped in power like crazy. Is that part or the problem they are fixing or are they staying that way?
I think it is being fixed. @delicate sentinel , you probably already know but it's the same problem with hostiles in missions. Was about to do some but they've now quadrupled in power making missions impossible to complete. Can't even get ships that strong so game is again, for another bug, unplayable.
So I built the scrapyard super excited btw, to level 31. Went to scrap a old ship and the outcome is less than enthusiastic about the payout, this should have been released when we made the transition from the old kumari to faction ships, my max level kumari does not even give half of what it costs to upgrade a weapon on my lowest faction ship the bortas. Also because I canāt tell will scrapping a max grade faction ship give me resources to upgrade a g4 faction ship? I donāt think it will so really itās pointless to upgrade a ship to scrap it and get not even a fourth back of what you put into it lol personally I would rather just park it in a dock.
Wanted to confirm that Deep Space found past the RED Restricted War Paths only opened after completing Dark Space Missions ā- were available only to level 38 and up? Is this true?
@polar spruce Watch this video as it will show you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB0dYPaIriE&feature=youtu.be
Today marks the release of Star Trek Fleet Command 9.0.
If you're going to spend and you're level 38, this update means 1.75BILLION PAR per pack, crazy, bar the fact you need 6-8B for 38-39 upgrade. Make no mistake, this update brings so many incredible changes albeit most a...
ok,, i was almost happy until i reset my game tonight,,, all my dailies are gone that i had completed, and i have zero accumulated points toward the loyalty badge,, WTF? no swarms listed, they are in my battle log as completed, but no points for ANYTHING
If youāre intent was to kill the game and run with your current profits, congrats.. The update is a success..
How the hell do we get out progress back from dailies. This is crap
So glad I spent so many hours pushing my faction to the RESPECTED rank to get access to the supply crate number 2 only for prices to jump 3000% today and go from a daily chance of RSS to a one time use guaranteed RSS... I relied heavily on crate 1 @ 10 a day as a F2P player and now crate 2 that I've been looking forward to is gone.... this is criminal as it will remove RSS from the game and like other mechanics force people into the overprices open arms of the scopely store..... GG criminals..... GG
NO lv29 Klingon Traders in Morska
The system Morska has no lv29 Klingon Traders spawns (or very few)
lv29 hostiles (SPECIALLY Klingon Traders) are needed to complete the daily missions AND faction grinding
Please fix
@delicate sentinel please let the developer team know the notification system is broken again.
not notification of hits at all and my base got drained cause of this.
New patch us awesome but I can't do my dailies anymore... all hostiles got 2x more power like before
Even hostiles from missions... not 2M anymore, now 5M š... please change
@delicate sentinel @azure holly so what's the point of banning players that bring up flaws here rather then addressing and fixing the problems you all unjustly banned admiral Horatio nelson because he brought up issues with not only the current update but that have been continued problems within the game as an offical discord server these actions reflect very poorly on scopley and for the star trek fleet command game. It's one thing to push making a profit on a game it's completely a diffrent thing to handle issues like this as poorly as you have
Sooo many things broken now, still broken and continuously re- breaking. Do they have things under control or what? And if Iām banned for this, I have a SS, to go to Apple with as well as your bosses.
-
Armadaās at release were sticking and still same ones are, new ones have been as well now too.
-
Warping into systems has gone back to allowing aggroās bhās to hit you prior to actually being in the system. And become more prevalent.
-
Several enemies or their spawn / exit points allow players to move at 400% impulse or more.
-
Shield exploitation has become worse. And they are even more broken than the 8hr was for the longest time.
-
Enemy stats are grossly over powered.
-
Some events have brackets, some donāt, none tell you what bracket youāre truly in until number are posted and see that someone is beating you who is 10 levels ahead and you canāt compete.
There are more, but letās start.
@nova sierra I am honored that you feel it important to address myself with Panic however I am a player like you and do not work for nor speak on behalf of Scopely.
What I will say however, there is an unwritten etiquette and a set of #509679626763632642 to abide by. If anyone is banned, it is because they choose to ignore them. Toxic communication aimed at an individual, a group of individuals, or an organisation like Scopely, is unnecessary in any public or private forum and is not required to get one's point across.
I never saw the original post so I do not know what was said and is the right of the organisation and the moderators who run this discord to act in whatever manner that they deem required.
@azure holly you used to be on this server in an offical capacity before you moved and built lcars as I'm familiar with you from a player of ours that worked with the devs as a youtube promoter. Hence the tag but ultimately as this is an offical server that is why I tagged panic as well. I am familiar also with the rules and roles and the player in question was deft and courteous despite bringing up issues. As to the post disappearing upon the ban of the individual I understand that may have been the bot setup for ban and clean however the fact that issues brought up here are removed (those being legitimate and not foul mouthed or I'll intentioned) and this is where the problem lays. Yes they may act in any manner they choose but as a representation of a company as an offical discord I would expect it to be ran as a representation of that company and if it is not then it should not be an offical discord
@nova sierra you are misinformed. I've never held an official capacity on this discord server. I am a recognised Content Creator and still am.
@azure holly apologies then however this will still need to be addressed by panic
He knows why he is banned @nova sierra
He was doing more bad than good
broke rules multiple times and kicked twice
Plus we do listen players and their issues and help as much we can but they need to address those issues properly
Breaking rules wont result in a good way for them
If that's the case then why did you all lift a ban as discord works a ban doesnt allow a user to return
We didnt
isn't this channel for general feedback?
It is @smoky halo
@frigid jolt please provide screenshots of the improper conversation that admiral Horatio nelson left.
@nova sierra I was on at the time Admiral Nelson was banned. Canāt remember seeing anything truly offensive or out of line to warrant a ban. Iām likely next! š
@fervent goblet so far what's being shared is cropped to all get out and though they say its policy to not share other convo we wouldn't accept it from another alliance in game as evidence I'll continue to talk with them and see if we can reach a resolution.
š
@nova sierra if he wants to get unbanned he needs to contact Panic.Otherwise nothing will happen
I like the idea of a Scrapyard and I know players were asking for this feature, but it doesn't address what we do with all the blueprints we've accumulated. It does help those who've foolishly built ships every time they had the blueprints for them or those that invested in having multiple surveyors for raiding.
Currently, building a ship, for the purpose of getting rid of blueprints, and then scraping it would come as a loss. It's just not practical or a feasible method or redeeming accumulated blueprints.
Can we have a separate option inside the Scrapyard to directly convert blueprints to materials?
@ancient vapor actually if you have the 2* mats standing around, you could build G2 ships, level them up and then scrape for G3 mats, you'll be at a loss of trit/dil
if it's worth it or not is another question
Some trit/dil loss for unc/rare is worth it for me
but yeah I think people have been asking for a long time for an option to get rid of excessive stuff they don't need
Yep
@frigid jolt extensive feedback and player comment has been made regarding the faction rep issue. Is there any update from Scopely about this issue or is this heading for the pile of other stuff in the Scopely closet?
@fervent goblet maxing all 3 factions was never intended so I dont think it will get changed
Never once asked for him to be unbanned however no resolution was reached the information provided was insufficient and cropped to a point there was no ability to follow the conversation with the lack of information given that it is policy to not provide others conversation. (You'll share a players but not a moderators side) all I can say is #gamers over greed
@nova sierra stop discussing this matter.This place is for constructive feedback about the game
@frigid jolt where is the appropriate place to discuss this then
Also I wasnt discussing but rather posting so that others following could see where the situation ended
@batman that wasnāt the point that was raised, it was shifting the goalposts on people who have spent lots of resource and real $$$ doing so without warning. This clearly is not acceptable and why so many are unhappy to the point of quitting. Also locking in a huge advantage to those who have built multiple faction ships. You wouldnāt be locking in max faction rep now in any case just not removing what people have invested real $$$ in doing.
@frigid jolt āļø
š¤·āāļø
@near rapids not in here.Public shaming not allowed.Pm me,will see what these are about and what you can do
@delicate sentinel I have pmed you as the other moderator TheBatMan I was working with told me to pretend we have never spoke and to message you I await your correspondence.
More than money I am pissed over time I spent to max all three factions and only did so because they locked at respected. Now whatever I do I regress and have another 9+ month grind. really thinking of quitting if they dont reinstate rep lock at respected
@gentle goblet, I know it won't apply to all, but I don't have enough grade 2 materials for as many blueprints as I have. What about the grade 3 blueprints?
@ancient vapor fair enough... was just a suggestion, you can always mine and refine G2 š š
If rep wasn't expected to stay locked they never should have locked it would have saved all the problems and people wouldn't have wasted the time and resources
@harsh ferry absolutely nailed it
I'm also curious what what progress are we going to lose next update it's a waste of time to put the work into a game and lose it a year later
Is there any new info about the OP hostiles? Some@of them went from 700k to 3.5M in power
Everything is boken again. Does scopely even beta test he updates?
@surreal mason Welcome to Beta Test!
Daily faction event just disappeared after I spent 1.1 Dili and 2M on research
Mission line is broken right in the middle
Wtf is going on with this game????
Dunno but a lot of our whales are thinking about throwing in the towel
If the daily faction event going away is a planned game change Iām done too.
Here is another nice thought and thumbs down to proper planning....next week is Christmas...week after that is New Years.......
....So if its not fixed by end of this week it will be broken for next 3+ weeks
Yah...on one hand my wife will be happy. On the other if thatās the case my Life Time Value will go to zero for future spend.
I spent 5 months working to get all 3 factions to respected and money to go along with it to get there and for unlocks. If they are not adding that lock back in I am flat out done spending and probably quitting.
All of these changes require time to implement. If they were coming they should have been broadcasted to players. We shouldn't find out the day the patch comes out that everything you did for last year is now being erased.
As far as the faction rep...if it wasn't meant to be that way it never should have locked in the first place. Even before this update once you moved onto another faction you should have lost the respected faction you had. At this point, They should stick to what they started and not pull a bait and switch.
And there is no reason they can't restore that and have deep space function as intended. Really just hoping its an oversight and will be restored. But, from what I have read and the limited customer service feedback I am leaning towards i wasted a bunch of time and money on a game that will change their rules at a whim to get more people to spend.
Where are the daily reputation events ?
So we should be down to about 2 or 3 servers soon thanks to the last two updates
Is the rep change a permanent thing? With the new max being 1 billion.
@crude fog I agree 100%. This reflects the feelings of SO MANY players on our server and others I have seen on this forum. This for me if not changed needs added to the class action lawsuit. Bait n switch sums it up perfectly.
I suspect it is one of those features that are placeholder for future events or work
easy to build the framework today and include it with an update, and fill in the behaviors and other bits that don't require maintenance tomorrow
Please make scout mobs more frequent. This is a mobile game, and system combing/searching drains my will to play.
@spark vale
Yeah, that's what I'm guessing, as well. But making sure me & mine aren't missing anything. :)
#šŗ-streams-and-videos cool video by @weak marten Go Watch and Support. Bring Back Respected Faction Lock!!!
There needs to be a way of getting more Tritium as I can upgrade and have to go mining to repair ships as I go through so much of it.
@crude fog you know they wonāt. They just sent out ātokensā to placate those of us who maxed the factions. Good for 1m rep and 5 bps of your choice of a l34 ship
@hushed reef Still worth a shot š Yeah, I know and they even screwed that up. I got 2 despite *having all 3 major factions at respected prior to update.
@crude fog I got all 3 of mine back above 10mil just before they put that out
@hushed reef if they think that compensated for months of efforts, piles of speed ups and lat, 100ās M resources and heaps of materials they must be off of their heads!
@fervent goblet exactly. I spent months working on that strategy and it only paid off for about two months.
@hushed reef I maxed Fed, spent a tonne of time and effectively $$$ digging out Klink only to have that torn away before I could get any benefit ie build ships!
They have lost their minds.
Apparently I have spent too much money buying the choice packs so scopely is only offering me elite packs. I am not a $100.00 a pop spender. I drop a 20-50 when I can or want to. But I feel scopely is trying to force me to drop $100 a pack. This doesnāt make economical sense. If they offered both to all they would make more especially from the spenders.
@fervent goblet I dualed fed and Klingon at the same time, then flipped to Milan from -2 to +2 in 2 days so I could do some dailies and then maxed it in about 3 weeks or less
I got my gladius built the long and hard way. Doubt I will ever get anything else
Was wanting oh in like the next year to run with the enterprise, d4 and augur. Lol
Nope that is it now. Changing established game mechanics when money has been invested is a bait n switch.
Exactly. I may stop doing all missions that will drop my rep with the hope of maybe...just maybe getting one of those ships.
At least until I get the Brel. Lol
@everyone with lv29 got faction prospectors (requiring next lvl dockyard) only in event store. Seems to me that Scopely it's overtly trying to force us in a gameplay style where we must buy every ship we cannot get in the past with full trolley of bucks or ā¬, Ā£,Ā„,ā©, etc.
I'm very dissatisfacted! You Scopely are dictating how people have to play and forcing us to spend multiples of 109,9⬠ti get useful factions missing ships. Know that my Wallet will be closed to Scopely effective immediatly!
Spent one year and nearly locked one reputation, spending $99/month. Then they said, forget about your hard work you still have 992million more to go. Well that money will now go to a game that does not yank the rug out from beneath you. Also Commendation ranks don't do anything, they should fix that first.
I kind of feel like the faction rep chest are a slap in the face. āYou guys worked really hard to get this, so here 1 million rep you wouldnāt need if we hadnāt broken the game and 5 blueprints for a ship thatāll only cost $1400 now. Oh and itāll soon be obsolete because we released new ships at the same time. Really trying to decide whether or not Iām going to keep playing this game. This seems like a real betrayal to the players not to mention the insult to injury. Theyāre about to lose a lot of paying players. I hope the f2p people like ads.
The real question is what the whales are saying their support forums or whatever. Nothing will change unless the whales stop spending in protest.
Ours are pissed. @normal karma
Havenāt heard much from Hawk besides saying he might be quitting after this āupdateā
I also havenāt really been on that much the last yesterday and today. This might be it for me.
@placid ermine Its a "feature" for 4* ship parts. lvl 40ish hostiles now drop "broken" ship parts that need to be refined. So there's uncommon parts now...
I expected that with the introduction of 4* and deep space, most of the paywalls would be removed/reduced. That's what i get for being optimistic, there's just newer and bigger ones
@trail isle Yah...heh, you saw one of ours left. Most of us dolphins are not pleased either.
@normal karma I saw that. Iām sure you and I arenāt the only dolphins pissed off. I really think they hurt their bottom line with this update.
Lot of people really pissed off but as Havana says you are not guaranteed any rights to anything you buy in game, you only buy the right to use it and Scopely can remove it reduce or do whatever they want!
At any time for any reason or no reason at all. Feel comfortable spending money now?
I canāt justify playing this game any longer.
Iām almost there @uneven crown
@nocturne atlas
Thank you for the info. :) š»
I agree the game is done..
Can one of the moderators comment on this quote from Scopely?āThere is a 10 minute shield in the game that is sometimes automatically triggered. The shield would usually trigger if your station takes more damage than the enemy ship attacking. It is important to note that it does not automatically trigger after each attack, or after each first attack; this depends entirely on the amounts of damage taken and dealt. I know that this particular detail is causing some confusion among the community, because sometimes you get the shield, other times you don't and I agree that the feature needs some clarification. We are working on making the rules more clear and evident in the game.
@viral lodge - no. We're just volunteers who moderate the chat. You need to ask Panic or Customer Support.
Ok thanks, Just never heard of this before. I thought the 10min shield always deployed.
šš©š
If (attacked == true) then let x = rand(0..1)
if x == 0 then do nothing;
if x == 1 then warn;
end if
Or just leave it n steal rss and force player to buy more........
I have checked for armadas and when I seen nothing I start them armada once my ship gets there another armada pops up from another player with less time than mine. This has happened four times and I have lost the Armada directives each time. Is there a fix for this in the works?
@alpine nebula This is done intentionally so you will buy armada packs. Part of the Scopely Scam.
Well time to hang up my ships. This game sucks. Thought scrapyard would let me cash in extra thousands of Bps I have of ships. Nope. You can only scrap built ships lol buhbye scopely! Time to spend time and money on other things
Been playing for a year and im done
@hot karma - sorry to see you go. Live long and prosper. š
But you can actually build those ships now and dont have to worry about your hangar getting full. it's not ideal, but its a way to make use of those g2 resources piling up.
the only problem is we still have to waste a drydock tiering up a ship. thats the next big change we need.
"Goodbye & thanks for all the fish"... Is what the dolphins said in "hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy"... š¤ @craggy egret only if ships are maxed... Otherwise it's just another rss sink...
@tranquil pelican thwy don't have to be maxed to recycle but wort more that way. that's why I was talking about tiering up, you'd have to tier them to make them worthwhile to recycle.
I know... Turas for eg... Try building 1 & maxing it & tell me how much those 3g "cost you" to recycle? Yes I kno it starts a 2g,but.... Very expensive, & as far as hanger room... <1% of peeps ha that probcause we didn't have the rss to win "these events" building ships, so I agree, we need them to recycle bps in scrapyard or its another "epic fail"
for some ftp players that investment may be worthwhile, especially when we get 10 days of nothing but domination and we have tons of speedups and nothing else to burn them on.
certain ships arent worth it
talla and envoy are
since they only take g2 material and give g3
right now i've got 10's of thousands of uncommon g2 resources lying about and thousands of hours of speedups. the only major timesink is the recycle because you can't rush that.
OK build em & let me know how you go,... I really want to be wrong, honestlyšš»š but... š¤¦š»
but it will take me like 2 months to get rid of them all
not great but meh
better then having nothign to do during domination
Rather be exhanging/redeeming bps, which seems to be everybodies problem, hanger space maybe 1%...less than
i think we all would rather recycle bps
but its scopely they want you to do useless things
and get bored of waiting
They want youto pay $100 U. S. For everything, scratching your nose... $100, typing in chat, $100, submitting a ticket $100... Etc
yep ...
Submitting a ticket, their new cash cowš¤¦š»
Click on hostiles button on bottom left and see if you are killing correct reds @azure sphinx
@small wadi LMAO! š¤£š¤£š
So this maintenance, what has changed?
Noticing no difference in any hostiles, most are blocked on a spawn point?
wow so scopley removed the faction locks....this game is getting less and less appealing
Lost the "appeal" a long time ago
I have only been playing a couple months...give me some time to get jaded lol
It won't take long
Let's see....emergency maint....what got fixed? Hostile power still broke? Check....faction rep still unachievable? Check...armadas still broke? Check...store packs functioning great? Check...
Game powers that be blowing off players? Check
seems like they didnt get the continuing missions for the factions either. but I did notice the augur did appear in the event store so yeah....
Only thing working great is the store....that's it...it's all about getting as much money as they can before that civil suit has them all looking for new jobs
Why have all the mission bosses doubled in power what was the point of increasing the ship power to exponential increase the mission bosses were right back where we started and, stuck again.
My suggestion is please get them reset back to where they were to begin with.
Not sure I get the point about this upgrade, why should I invest money such that many of the investments like developing factions in parallel, like two maxed Franklins, like investing into a T5 faction miner becomes worthless ... I am not even motivated to do dailies.
There is also no investment protection ...
Soooo many useless Armadas around because they're clogged up with hostiles, meaning you can't click to open
That was supposed to have been fixed in Mondayās maintenance
it's worse now than it was
So, higher loyalty chests have a guaranteed badge. Hooray. For a severely increased cost. Boo. Loyalty chests are now a one time item. Come on scopely, donāt be dbags like that.
@nuke see post to understand the attitude towards investment protection.
@blazing sigil āļø
Note there are other games with much less costs, much better investment protection, much more functionality and of cause with a proper QA
Statements like those are just a slap in the face of your paying customers @scopely
I love when people are quoting me. But if you read the ToS you would know that.
So stop the victim talk.
Sorry Havana but the color of your Nick is red. That means something. It also implies that you are going to be cited.
It implies that I'm moderator of this chat, not Scopely employee. I am a volunteer here to help this community.
However, you are probably right and thanks for reminding and your clear language...
I hope you get a proper compensation for that, mate ...
Again, I don't mind quoting I do mind that people are misunderstanding what I said. Terms of Service are clear. You do not own anything in this game.
As I said, volunteer. No compensation. 𤣠I was pushing to get at least 1 free mental exam per year, but it was no go.
@nova sierra why are you saying to stop the victim talk? People are pointing out they are losing invested $$$ because of game changes. Your attitude seems perfectly aligned with Scopely!
Understood, in other words we all need to be very clear that whatever we invest into the game might become worthless very soon. Am I correct @nova sierra ?
Because you lost it the moment you spent it. AGAIN read the ToS, it isn't yours! š¤£
It is not investing. It is spending .
But dont you agree that customers tent to expect a return for what they spend / invest?
So your point is that any spending on the game should be considered as worthless ....
Your a wise man @nova sierra š
Technically every spending on games is worthless...
All you get are pixels
That you don't own.
In Europe Law is above TOS
ToS are a contracts. Law regulates contracts. So yeah, you are correct.
Tos canāt be against the law
Many companies try to limit customer rights with respect to selling digital content.
had daily missions dissapear yesterday due to maintenance and stuff, I sent a message to support asking for either the missions back or the points I had already gotten back, and they just pointed me here. I had finished enough dailies where if the issue did not occur, I would have gotten the final reward for it, including the loyalty badge. all I was going to ask is that I get the loyalty badge that was part of the final reward that I would have gotten otherwise... but looking at past messages, I'm not being hopeful.
and as for what Havana is saying... ya, that's pretty much all online games. you pay to have access to the game, or in this case be given deliverables. as long as you are given said items, at time of purchase, then they could turn around and delete that item from the game the next day, and they have still delivered what was expected.
@delicate sentinel issues Iām still having since even before the two recent updates: unless done immediately upon launching the game on the phone, clicking the interior button to go inside station causes the game to go into loading, āpreparingā and stalls out causing a force quit needed. Problems noticed this far from after the update this morning, no zero node notification (09:13 EASTERN US TIME) hit, on a zero without notice from the game)
Does anyone know how to switch servers?
@nova sierra not possible at the moment. That is supposed to be possible next year
@feral escarp yeah, they are looking into that issue
@supple hill had the same happen to me - I was done with my dailies and lost all progress. Sent the same email, and got directed ti here and their blog. Would be nice if the did give us the reward for our efforts.
But that would be a contract violation. We did the work and they didnāt pay us
I am done ... not spending anymore. The game is pointless now... they keep changing the ship lvls to make it harder... they removed the floor on the factions and now it means you will end up enemies again... to expensive to upgrade anything... canāt do faction, canāt kill hostiles and canāt complete missions ... LITERALLY NO POINT to the game anymore!!!
@chilly eagle ya, I know that this probably sounds a little silly, but if I don't see anything done about that in this next week, I'm probably going to move on. it's one thing to have the game take a long time to get to where you want, I expect that. but if the support team can't be counted on to fix issues that they created, and are just taking the attitude of "not our problem" when it is something they directly caused, that just leads to all sorts of issues. I'm expecting to have a hard time with other players impeding my progress, I don't need to worry about the game doing it to.
@nova sierra may whatever religious deity tou may or may not pray to have mercy on your soul over these next few days...is there any chance we can get a list of āknown issues devs are working onā that Panic refers to in his announcement so we can adjust our expectations accordingly?
I'm... actually surprised that's not in a pinned message in the bug reporting. that seems like something you would want people reporting bugs to know, at least.
We asked many times, but they don't want to release that to the public because plans shift and change constantly @white salmon
But we will continue asking
oh, things actually being worked on, I get it. @nova sierra any chance in convincing them to release a list of just known bugs, whether they are being worked on or not?
dont think ive played an online game with unexplained downtime before
@supple hill not yet, but we will continue asking for it
since the readjustments i canāt do many missions as bosses are extremely strong. Example the lvl39 training was no problem for me but now i have a 4.3m boss which i canāt handle. Are you fixing this?
@delicate sentinel level 27 event store still broken. No faction ship BPS
Donāt know what turns the story line took in new mission chain when I was in enemy territory. Why do we still get chased while on missions? š
Canāt fix that either now, faction locks removed!
okay apparently the patch made things worse. lvl 39s I was farming yesterday just nuked me.
so can someone at scoplely tell me what the point is to play right now? reputation griding is pointless, events payout next to nothing, at least on my server everyone is poor so raids are few and far between.
we play these games becuase there is a carrot dangled in front of us to push us. scopley removed the carrot
I'm lvl 23. This morning I got drained by lvl 32. But me at lvl 23 cannot attack lvl 19?
This game is futile, zero endgame. About to quit with everyone
@waxen palm you are correct....there is no end game. All there is is mining....someone running around popping miners....no faction locks (not anymore)...constant harassment by anyone with a bad day complex...and no chance to EVER get ahead unless you spend thousands and you will still be mining endlessly all day. Good news is you can scrap a ship now...keep those miners....your gonna need em
Lol john made the ReadOnly role for just me š¤£ š š¤£
Not being able to scrapyard these is DUMB!!! Is there a logical reason why not?
Special event ships?
You can scrap the NS though?
I purchased one and earned the other. How is it special event, if the event is OVER
WE ASKED for scrapyard, WE should be able to pick & choose which ones we want to scrap
š¤·āāļø
Okay I am going to be a complainer but I don't care. I understand PVP and can accept the range but some limitations need to come. I mean when the attacker is 10x you come on.
um yeah one is a warship and the other a miner. what are you expecting?
And the worst case is a 29 vs 26... That seems fine
Not saying about range
Saying power before we scrap maybe we should have a requirement about the chance to survive
huh?
hes saying someone with a ship 200k over shouldnt be able to hit them
I know this has probably been said somewhere, but now that the rep goal is so unachievable in anyone's lifetime (I mean 1B, what are you guys smoking), there needs to be locked stages that your rep will not go below. If a TV gameshow gives you a guaranteed baseline to fall back to, and their goals are not as ridiculous as Scopely's, then I believe that locked stages is not only possible, but they are a must.
The 10,000,500 respected has taken me since August 2018 to achieve (only locked it in last week), and since it is so hard to get to that goal, it should be the first locked level and then every enormous jump after that should also be locked. On my current timeline, it will be 2-3yrs before I reach the next goal - I doubt I will still be here. If it makes you feel better and you can sleep at night, lock it at Respected and then Esteemed, and finally Champion - the latter two maybe (just maybe) my great grandkids will achieve as I have already added this into my Will.
Not sure who in Scopely comes up with these ideas, they are certainly not players (of any game) - may sound good over a drink at the local bar, but it does not work at all, your reputation for making things impossible (and expensive) has not been tarnished with this decision.
Ha you think a human comes up with this? The AI underpinnings of this game set the moving goal posts. A greedy human just agrees and pushes it along.
greedy, yes that assessment is accurate
I believe they expect people to stop paying like they used to, so they can Shut down the game, but we will have to see in the next month or 2 if they make rep easier per hostile/ Make packs more reasonable for people to get stronger ships, IF we can hit 55 traders it takes 10,000 hostiles to max a rep even at 1 billion but currently those have 25 million power...
Good summary of why they are pushing this game to shutdown
Just watched my ship move to the opposite side of a world, wait for its next instructions, when I gave them, it quit. When restarted, I was actually blown up and had never moved. I wasnāt in between playing. I was playing non stop. Now Iām losing event time and paying rss. I feel like it was done intentionally by scopley. WTF?!
that happened to me sorta the same
mine didnt warp into the system i sent it to it just vanished i reset and it blew up
FIX FACTION PATROL SYSTEM!!!!
The ship haven't even arrive to the destination; not even made a full stop when it gets attacked
In the past, you set the ship to arrive to a system and once it arrived, would take about a minute for the patrol to chase you.
NOW, the moment you enter you are already being attacked. Or the faction patrol is READY to intercept your course. Trashes ships ALL THE TIME without giving players time to react
Does it cost you to repair?
@slow mirage - I don't warp straight to mission points. Once I enter the system, I start watching and adjusting course. It's more time consuming but safer.
@fervent goblet Annoyance, TIME, resources, speedups, nodes lost, pvp/pve battles lost, missions lost, etc, etc
I thought the event would be awesome. But the rewards for that are a joke. Wanted to invest in OPS39. But I've changed my mind. The game is getting boring for me.
Pro Tip: If you do not like the prices...SAVE ALL YOUR TOKENS for the next event (better prices)
Therefore, get as many tokens as you can
@heady minnow
@slow mirage thx for your Tipp...why do you know this?
@heady minnow
All store events are the same. You can use prior event tokens on the new event.
Having spent several months hostile grinding to max all 3 factions, I now have a decision to make on how and if I proceed with doing it all again with the new 1b target. May I suggest that the locks are put on when you reach your next faction rank up. Otherwise scoring 300k faction points per day will take 9.1 years to reach 1b points
@simple spruce theyāre replacing the locks
Now people need to get angry about the new faction loyalty chests being a one time thing, especially the ones with badges.
It would be nice to be able to mine in Augment space. I am listed as Pawn level in the faction store, but when i click into the system it says untrustworthy and i get sttacked. There appears to be a bug with the augments.
I'll wait reputation tokens to get to 10M to lock them to people who was doing reputation and get under 10M with opposite factions. ..
Faction lock returning!
They listened - thanks Scopely!
A lot of rep to get back but..... good news!
And we have to remember that they return the locks because they will lose money, to buy bps and faction stuff, not by taking care and respect to her users and customers...
@wise umbra it's not a bug. those ships that are attacking you are story wise after the augments. since you're friends with the augments they are after you too.
You really need to increase the amount of g3 mines. Never can finish dailies because even with alliance help can never get a mine. Consider giving and dedicating 1 mine of each type to a player as their mine that no one can mine but that player sort of like staking a claim.
@royal star you should have been around before the big expansion.... Now THAT was a shortage of G3 mines
It is okay right now
Mining is ok - 10 minutes and you can find a node if you are prepared to look hard and clear nodes.
Hi @delicate sentinel. Would you please reinstate in the new update the daily faction loyalty chests in the Faction Store? I really looked forward to buying them each day, because the speed ups I could get helped me progress in the game. It makes the game less tedious and less boring and they motivated me to keep playing. Thanks you! Cheers!!
<@&509691205798592532> take a look at the rewards for doing the level 41 combat mission
example of a 41 hostile...yep...not killing that
we are being forced to level up and get (buy) ships in order to even be remotely relevant in this game
very true
They are looking for a higher tier of credit card
agreed
This may have been talked about already so forgive me if so but shouldnāt we be able to speed up the recycling of a ship?
for the last...idk let's say two weeks: every time I log in I get the banner push notifications at the top of my screen.... ALL of them...since the last time I logged in...
So yeah basically the last two weeks I log in and put my phone down for between 1 and gag 5mins to allow the pushes to clear out of my game.
Extremely frustrating
locking will be back, š thank you
I grinded my ass to hit max fed and rom over this year by this xmas, my main pain point of the last update would be gone.
suggestion 1: A general description of what else is changing back/reassurance of what stays vs current status would be ideal. Donāt wait until itās implemented to announce it.
suggestion2: introduce a new triangle with as 4* factions, and that one can go into the billions.
Any chance you can bring back the loyalty packs, after you get one. Got both loyalty pack 2 from the faction store, now they seem to have disappeared forever š
@delicate sentinel the faction lock back to 10mil is a step in the right direction. š
@zinc blaze you need to close the app for that not just switch apo but close ot and restart. the banners should be gone
@visual agate nope
Only 'fix' is to clear app cache and data EVERYTIME I close app. And then it has to reload my profile.
So basically my game has a 'load screen' made of notifications.. ..yay
@zinc blaze it has always worked for me. I leave my ships out for passive hostile farming and whenever get in game, those notification starts like hell, a restart has always fixed it for me
<@&509691205798592532> we have a player on our server who has verbally threaten players āI will kill youā type messages. Why is he still allowed to play?
He has been reported but so far nothing.
I second that - he has made multiple threats.
Context is important when it comes to players saying such things towards each other. The game doesn't share any real life details of yours to others so there'd have to be some particular incident for threats like those to become credible. There's the block feature which goes vastly underused which we recommend you use, a lot. Last but not least, players found breaking the ToS are applied incrementally worse penalties of which the first you might not notice as the span is relatively short. ( 8 hours ). Do keep reporting these things as the penalties do increase!
These players have. @nova sierra we have all reported him that havenāt blocked him due to vulgar language
I can 3rd it...
Well it increases per incident, they don't re-apply penalties over the same thing because of more reports.
@weak locust OK I'm deleting that because it's against the rules but do PM me with more details and I'll see if I can get something to happen.
Submit those screenshots to in game support, not just by using the "report" button in chat.
Nothing will be done until Swatting happens someone gets injured it hits the news they question Scopely. They send their PR out nothing will come of it. Someone has to be hurt before anything changes
Will do John ty
My member has been threatened the same including using a weapon and again his personal information was also sent to him as a threat. Anything that comes of any of it will all be on Scopleys hands
Just an observation - somebody can get permanently banned in this STFC forum for nothing even close to that but.......actually protecting players in game from this type of abusive and threatening behaviour seems to take just short of killing somebody for it to happen.
Let Google know that one of the games that they offer for download violates their terms of service. And the company is not protecting their customers and putting them in harms way
If I did that at work Iād be fired, if I threatened somebody in public with witnesses Iād be arrested, if I was abusive or threatening in STFC discord I get rightly banned for life. Threatening people in game to this level???????
@ornate stump I'm sorry, I'm generally very understanding but this is rubbish.
In no way can Scopely be held accountable as the game doesn't provide any personal details about anyone so it's always user error should anything that's supposed to be private/personal find itself into the possession of others.
That said, if your member feels to be in immediate danger - advise is always to contact local authorities.
Scopely will fully comply with their requests.
@fervent goblet Yes, this Discord of nearly 30.000 members give or take is being moderated by a whole gang of 12 volunteers so our patience doesn't last forever as we can't afford to commit those kind of resources in time and energy spent. That said, we're urging for more severe punishments on offenses that occur within the game and for more transparency as for penalties applied to the victims as well.
@nova sierra wasnāt a criticism or reflection on you guys, what you do is right, how Scopely deals with stuff in game is the issue š
Just adding contextual information there, didn't take it as such. No worries! š
And yeah agreed. People come on asking if when banned, a shield could be applied and I'm like...
Scopely may not store our information but they are linked with Google Play so I leave that out there as Google does have a lot of info on everyone
Sure but that's still kept private, your information isn't available to other players.
Not really you can obtain personal information and all ya need is small things to start locating. Email, IP, Facebook also isnāt the first time google has leaked info
None of that is available to other players.
Keywords itās really simple
@lyric narwhal @nova sierra greetings
Figured Iād get yāall together then me be the middle man on this info so nothing is lost
@nova sierra I think light should be getting ya the requested info
š
The bat signal is on!
7 Loyalty Badges, now that is a cool gift, thankyou š
Itās getting better
Finally, Scopely, I can say sincerely: good job. You're learning. Admit when you screw up and give us a little bone of compensation. It doesn't fix everything, but it goes a LONG way toward building trust and support among your user community. Keep it up.
We do a playthrough of the new missions story line and discuss the various new features in the game with Patch 9.0. Recorded 17/12/19. Part 2 to follow.

@analog dagger
so how is them bringing the cap back going to affect us who haven't capped out when they added 6 new faction levels?
Thank you @delicate sentinel and all at Scopely for the Faction Lock returning! I love my Star Trek ships, and I want them all! in Faction and Augment form, and in the one case Seperatist!
@worthy kraken it means that you can get a Faction to 10 mill, then work on the 3rd and get all 3 to 10 mill, then continue up the ladder with your first again
I still need; The Adrmial should be the only one to PM all members at the same time. The Adrimal can elect 1 or more Comanders that can do the same. The Adrimal can put or take away that privilege. This helps out the Alliance. This helps in communication and helps all Alliance members to grow and prosper
hammer56a in FRE
Faction lock is working already or we need to wait some update?
Next update
What if i dont want my reputation reset back to 10 mil?
I made 200k already
I guess some reputation tokens gift is the solution
@feral tide it wont reset but after lock is back it wont go below 10m either from what I know
thanks
Found this guys two ship parked next to a free node so i took it. Is there any issue with that ?
Where do i find the spock chest for this token
@shrewd breach nowhere at this time
@noble sable he might be angry when he comes back online.
I want to question the Recruit algorithms, supposedly there is a 5% chance of pulling a jackpot chest. I got 1 early on after this was announced however since then I have opened around 500 chests and not had a single one. 5% would equate to a 1 in 20 chance but this is nowhere near reality.
Also, why do my PM's disappear constantly??
Yeah, RNG gods haven't been favorable for anyone lately.
As for PMs, it's a bug, being worked on
beware PM's are so buggy I had one phone signed into my account restarted the phone and cache and data and reinstalled the app at one point and then the phone got buggy so I signed into my account on a backup phone and only then did I see a 1d old message from a player
Regarding armadas. You complete uncommon armadas to get the 'Uncommon Armada Pack' inside which is the opportunity to get 'Rare Armada Directives' and then you complete the rare armadas to get the 'Rare Armada Pack' which in turn gets you .. no chance of Epic Armada Directives???? Is this a bug or a feature request?
@spark vale actually they drop Epic armada directives, they just aren't displayed in pack contents
Has anyone found armada directives disappearing? I had enough for a rare but later on I found I was short. Another in my alliance said he had same happen. Anyone else?
@nova sierra ok bug bug then. Can we have a conspiracy theory and say that the same coderst that wrote the code to display the contents of the Rare Armada Pack also wrote the code to display the battle log on the armadas? common ground: both miss details in the output
@rapid pulsar nope sorry
@spark vale I love good conspiracy theories! I agree. Must be same dev š
@nova sierra thanks buddy something to keep my eye out for š
@chrome elk āAlso, why do my PM's disappear constantly??ā
Because been broke since day one. But theyāre āworking on itā.
i bet they missed the pm that pm is broken!
Need to stop allowing ships to hide on mission planets. Currently they are unable to be targeted
I see you guys realize how overpowered the saladin still is compared to other ships, it's priced at nearly twice the price per blueprint of any other ship in the event store. total ripoff.
I do not want mission planets hiding ships to be "fixed". It works great and between that and mines where you arrive not first, staging an attack free launch into an armada at the last second in a system with hostile players attempting to destroy your armada is about the only strategy that can be successful.
It is a well known and documented fact that 1m faction rep - 1.25m faction rep gets double dailies for a short bit. This went away with the update too. Did I really become a dinosaur and collect my last doubled faction daily/
yeah i was upset about losing the double faction dailies as well. only way to get a decent amount of credits.
@craggy egret dont know what you mean by Saladin is priced nearly twice of other ships
And we have message exchanging thing for credits now which gives more credits than double faction dailies so it is a win for me š¤·āāļø
IMO the whole armada thing needs an update. Option to select participants. Different a costs of directives due to armada level. Why they have the same cost when there are different amounts of points and levels. Drop rate rare directives in unc chest is poor. Why u donāt get unc directives in the unc chest and only rare? 3 armada events in one month (December). To much imo. It is more an annoying new game option than something to have fun. And las but not least. The appearance rate of unc armadas is poor. Sometimes u spend half an hour or more to find l28 or l29 unc armadas. I mean, u think we have all day to spend time in the game? Best Regards and merry XMas!
Is There an issue with the algorithm that determines what resource is selected when you empty a node? I ask because I've been mining [Vendus A System S:1342058302] and for the last 3 days, It's been stuck on Dilithium š
@pale cargo it is pure luck and you are very unlucky
Then the whole system has been very unlucky because there are only 2 ore nodes
I think the fallout from removing faction locking could have been avoided by making hijacked blueprints and other chests available in augment space for factions that are enemies. Then it would be a strategic decision who to ally with and hijacked ships would actually make sense. It would also have cut out many player objections to no faction lock in general. They could have built a whole game mode around that alone and redefined the importance of augment space all at once
@raven mantle you make a valid point....but....the highjacked ships are tier one faction ships....the power gained for tiering past 8 is not beneficial....plus...they are not even on the same playing field as a tier 2 faction ship
This might have been answered but when will rep locks return?
@elder wren after holidays
Ok
@analog dagger Your right of course but they could so easily make hijacked versions of other ships with little effort. Just reskins that upgrade with plutonium
Really could
Hijacked ships have the same g3 mat requirements + plutonium. No rare plut til 30 either.
That's what I was hoping for
And no hijacked ships are cheaper
Takes half the g3 requirement away and replaces it with plut
I would like to make a formal complaint about a level 38 player WM waste management in the game. I would like to kick him off the server we are on and put him on another server, please.
Well go to try
Put him with the rich people server so they can kill each other that way
Hey that's an idea?? š¤£šššš
According to Lcars, hijacked ships have the same g3 requirements + plutonium
@vapid oar it really doesnāt matter. People would still build them to fill that gap anyways. Just wish they would do it and make augment space a real part of the other factions. I also would love new Augmen missions
@raven mantle It kinda does matter. Hijacked ships are tier 1 faction ships that can't be fully upgraded until rare plutonium is available at L30. By that time, every player should have a better option. It's even a waste of plutonium that would be better used to upgrade your Botany Bay.
I thought about getting a hijacked Lego to match my D3 and MF for about 5 mins. Then I came to my senses and held out for a Bortas.
@delicate sentinel have you changed the defense on armada targets?
Hijacked ships would have been great for fresh 26s to have access to for factions they dont have rep with. As it is now with how long hijacked have been hum hawed and the uncertainty of actually building it, they have made them not just completely worthless but a pure detriment, tricking people into buying useless prints instead of spending event tokens on stuff that will help them advance.
It should be possible, in theory, to have bps for 2 faction ships and a hijacked 3rd at Shipyard 26. The problem is that Shipyard 28 isn't far away with superior ships. Investing lots of g3 could be wasteful.
G3 ships going forward now donāt cut it. Scopely need to shift the game economy in a big way. Iām likely gonna skip Enterprise now.
@vapid oar You didnāt get the full content. I was wanting more than just lvl 26 hijacked. If you think bigger all the faction ships could have a hijacked counterpart not just 3. Then the faction your enemy with doesnāt matter at all. You just get hijacked for it. I donāt look at it as it is now but how it should have been. Can still hope Scopely comes to its senses. Heck, maybe players could try being enemy to all 3 for kicks just to go all hijacked. More options equals a gunner game
The only reason I want the highjacked d3 is the skin now. I'm one level away from Sally, so don't need a 26 interceptor now. Would have been nice to have that option when I wasn't so close.
I think it's just such a low priority and would require lots of additional content. Maybe in the future Augment and Swarm storylines can be completed.
I think once you finish the missions, aug is complete. Kinda sucks though as there is so much they could have done with it.
I doubt we've seen the last Augment missions. Every ship can be reskinned and there's still the USS Vengeance to introduce (sell)
General feedback: scopely business model is stupid. Packs at 100$ get the 5-10 folks per server that drop 10,000$ per unit time, while majority of players donāt spend. Net income of $100,000z Drop those packs to 25$. Now, the big spenders spend same amount of packs, so $2,500 a person. But now you get 500 additional folks to drop 200$. So them + the big spenders is 125,000$. And 25$ per pack would get a lot more than 500 folks buying
@lyric narwhal I vote to bring back the $4.99 packs. They might not give a lot. But they are good for thse who don't spend a lot.
@Moderator I have been attempting to get scopely to fix the boldly goes quest line the faction auto start did not happen and the reset that scopely did to fix did not resolve the issue
. I have placed several support requests to get it fixed showing customer support labek and opulent quests have been accepted .. showing them my mission logs .. which does not have any boldly goes quest.. I have sent screen shots of each one of the faction quest lines showing I cannot accept them because the prerequisite mission has not been completed .. This has been going on since the scopely "fix" with every agent ignoring all information I have provided. Now we are approaching 24 hours since my last attempt to get this fixed ... Please provide better customer service.. And train your service agents to read through the entire information and ask clarifying information
why not move althe tiering process be done in the hanger? And if a dockyard is supposed to be used for tiering I got 4 of them and can stil tier 1 ship at a time? at least be consistent somewhere. Either move the tiering to ship hanger/shipyard or allow us to tier more than 1 ship at a time
Scopely really needs to pull their collective heads out of their butts. Wtf with people 10-15 levels above you being able to attack you. It might have been a good way to get the old pay to play players to spend stupid money but as long as this is allowed it will not incentivize newer players to spend any money to buy stuff the higher levels are just going to come and take.
Noone can take your resources as long as you stay shielded
@nova sierra seeing far too much of this on our server at the moment, this guy is ranked #8 in power.... Iām #9 and feel exactly the same. Are scopley willing to let guys like this walk away?
Can we not use messages with factions that hate us? i.e. like giving them backchannel intel to get creds to upgrade officers
But that would make sense, that's against scopely's company policy

Amorgin... no spamming brotha
@cursive finch Whats this?
I like the resource holiday pack. The officer holiday packs, "one officer" packs, a bit scammy... Give one of each officer shard, with one being unlocked.
The current pack is bad.
I have a question. I have not been playing very long only level 19..
I play alot of games like this, i have a strange question.
In the Station. We have Parsteel, Tritanium and dilithium generators. However, since i started the storage Max is so low that the generators are stopped.
I have all vaults and Storage Maxed but the Generators are still stopped. The Storage Maximum levels need to be re adjusted
Stops on purpose. Forces you to raid over the maximum or go over the max by dailies, events or using your credit card. To be fair though once you get above level 20 your generators donāt really give you all that much towards what you actually need to level something up
I'm lv34, and vault caps are pretty high. So with research, I get by reasonably well without raiding / just rss generators
So as consort the messages is 20 for 180 credits but at assosiate it increase to 70 messages for 240 credits ?? Shouldnt it be 30 or something? Makes more sense you get higher rewards with better standing then with less
wait till you hit respected it becomes 180 messages for 350 š
Itās most annoying and debilitating when players many levels above you with mega powerful ships can attack your base the one time you forget to shield. It should not be allowed for a lvl 40 who spend thousand on this game to attack a 27 who is a normal player. To big an advantage to the one. Then his team mates pillage my base after he cracks it with one pass. Let my equals crack my base themselves.
At least there is a cost to their attacks. The mega player has no down side.
Also, what good are the station defenses to a mega, none!
A 4M strength ship cracks my base with one hit with no risk or damage to himself
And Iād like to put my vaults into the scrapyard. They provide no significant resource protection in their current state.
actually the repair costs for a 4M ship are quite high... even it it's only slightly damaged...
on the bright side, you can easily crack a lvl 21/22 the same way
well if you're getting raided of course, but you have 10M auto shield and hopefully a notification that works so you can pull up a longer shield
Well aware. Not much help when youāre sleeping.
Can you at least make the vaults protect more resources?
nope lol, but then it really makes no difference if it's one hit from a lvl 41 or 5 hits from a lvl 28 š
I went from 5M dilithium to 40 thousand
Could at least protect a million of it.
It does make a difference to the players hitting. They make choose not to because of the cost whereas a 41 can way to easily crack it.
I canāt hit a lvl 20 base as a 27 yet a 41 can hit me
No sense
well fixing a jelly easily costs 2M+ trit, that's 10 repairs for my sally...
so while a 41 just need one hit where I might need 10, it's not necessarily cheaper for him
and you can hit down to 21... my sally & cent can easily crack a 27 with no ships at home, and max 4-5 hits if all ships are home
Hehe Happy Holidays @haughty iris and hope you have a brill New Year! šš¾
Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas Scopely! Thank you so much for having the patience, determination, and vision, in bringing this masterpiece to us. Gene Roddenberry would be proud, you captured the spirit of Star Trek! Looking back, I know its had to have been a rough and brutal year for y'all. The spoiled and entitled American public, is a headache that few have the patience and gusto to deal with. So cheers, and may Santa in his Enterprise fulfill each and everyone of your teams wishes. "To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before" Check, Check, and Check. š
"You captured the spirit of Star Trek!" LOL wut?
I -just- got a trek the halls news notice (in station view). A day and a half into the event. Oh scopely...
Honestly don't know if that's sarcasm or not...
Maybe heās playing a different game...
Uninstall and reinstall
Happy Holidays everyone in the whole world.
Except for Scopely of courseš one of the worsts hells should be waiting for themš.
Uninstall and never reinstall
@hallow pumice If you donāt have anything useful to say, maybe best not to press enter š

Funny coming from you @dawn nexus
And it's very useful
Helps people save money and find good games
Whyās it funny coming from me?
š¤£š
Want a answer, because you don't always have good input, and you take everything seriously
The scrapyard has now taken care of my excess 2* blueprints. Still not sure what to do with all 3* common ship's blueprints. And the most annoying of all, Bueprints of faction ships/miner that I already build. Those drop really feels bad. worse than killing lvl 39s to get kehra bps. A way to trade those bps for other equivalent ships bps would work just nice ;)
why does i get only kehra/vahklas/kumari bp from the npc's? š”š” it's really annoying to get only this.
I think its related to the lvl of npc, your ops/shipyard lvl
and yes, it is annoying
In theory the saladin drops from lvl 31+ fed ships but I have not had one drop yet, but then my shipyard is at 26
Nice haul for one miner! @proven glade
What does the Note Draken(23) mean? Would be good if click event would support information
I have no idea about the meaning
@pseudo venture - the system that ship is in. If it's warping, it says that instead. At home, it's in drydock
@surreal condor thx
@velvet plover i'm lvl 33 and my shipyard is lvl 32 and i got only bp's like kehra/vahklas/kumari. i can build a whole armada from them. other alli members messages and take pics like " i got 2 intrepid parts " or " yeah i got 2 centurion parts ". i shot more than 30 ship up to lvl 34 and i got only shit š”š”š”š”
Would be a great feature to exchange character cards and resources with other allied team members...
that's maybe possible at lvl 50 in the market
FIX Trader ships spawns!
There are not enough trader ships spawns for levels 28 and 29.
Makes it difficult to complete dailies
@slow mirage have you considered killing non traders?
@dawn nexus have you worked the numbers and bonuses? After doing your homework you won't find a reason to reply
@slow mirage I've never killed traders for dailies... always explorers with Kumari or battleships with Sally (and whatever else made sense triangle wise before that)
Why kill traders?
Work the numbers.
What numbers?
THE numbers
The numbers I care about is whether or not I can kill 25 of the higher one in max 2 trips, was almost never an issue š š
I'm not sure what numbers he's talking about either, those numbers are the only ones I was interested in too.
Yeah Iām clueless on his statement as well, Iām Ops35 with 50K hostile kills
And I spent a long time killing on my Kumari upto level 34/35 Hostiles for dailies
The only advantage to killing traders instead of warships is increased faction rep gain
don't be shortsighted. all numbers favor traders
Time is a number too. If you want to sit around waiting for them to spawn instead of just killing ships, by all means, do so.
I donāt believe the game is designed for you to only kill Traders
There is many systems with ships to kill and you can kill Explorers very easily at that lvl with a Kumari to finish daily
Itās first time Iāve ever heard someone complain about it in this manner š
Use the combat triangle for numbers. Traders are for rep
I see ya'll lazy to get all the numbers together
@slow mirage Get your numbers together and present them. Until then, there's nothing else to say.
I am a Doctor, not your g0$ d@# secretary. You go and do them.
@here
Strength
Faction Points
RSS drop rate
Max amount killed```
Time spent waiting on them to spawn. Calculate that in there too.
Donāt leave out time spent here complaining about said spawn rate and telling people about āthe numbersā
How would you know without having done the math?
Why wouldn't you be ready and willing to present the evidence?

i shoot since yesterday only 36 to 38 npc. i got the same result in the loot boxes. only kehra/vahklas/kumari parts. it's totally shit š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬
With us now recycling ships --> Please be more generous with ship exp drops. We've always needed more ship exp to try to complete events, since grinding ship exp doesn't count. Now we need more to level up our ships for recycling.
Totally agree, why on earth kehra, vak and Kumari BP drops when you're killing hostiles over lvl 37 is mind boggling! Completey and utterly useless by the time you get to there!
Yet to earn a single bortas BP for example, you need to kill on average I reckon, 1000 hostiles...
Conservatively...
When i started this game the romulan faction was said to be the strongest with the strongest ships. Well since deep space arrived this changed. Now apparently is the klingon faction the strongest with the hegh'ta a 5M startpower battleship. So i invested in a path that now won't be the strongest??? Why the change???
Klingon has always had the highest start power ships. I'm only 27 so I can't speak for higher level ships but Klingon seems to have highest power at lower tiers, fed has highest in mid tiers and rom higher in high tiers. That may have changed though.
How about a refinery bonus for late Xmas
while I understand that this is a fighting game terroristic takeover of the game should be against the fair gaming rule, Anyone involved in terroristic takeover of the game should be banned for life!
Fair gaming rule?
Define "terroristic takeover of the game". Unless they're hacking your account, they can't take over your game. You may need to adapt your playstyle or try to form an alliance against them. There are options within standard game play that you can use. Just because they don't play the way you want them to doesn't make them "terrorists".
We have an alliance on my server that was formed as a "do whatever you want" type alliance. They're strong, and they have multiple alliances, but a coalition of alliances who don't like their playstyle went to war and "won" if you can call it winning. There are still individuals who play their own way, and we smack them down whenever we get the chance, but overall, most of their players now follow the rules the rest of the alliances follow. If you want to play farmville, play farmville. Otherwise, use the game mechanics to fight back.
I never mentioned the wallet. I'm talking about talking to other alliances, forming a coalition and going after the big alliances. It's happened in my server and in other games I've played. Wallet Warriors can handle individual alliances, not the entire server. Another game mechanic he can use is shielding to prevent raids. Moving his base to avoid being found. Using Cad Scotty on his miner to get to more out-of-the-way nodes. Learning about crew setups and how they work. There are more game mechanics that he can use to avoid being "terrorized".
You donāt need a coalition of alliances. The most powerful thing in the game is a determined solo player with an axe to grind. Absolutely nothing that anyone can do against it except wait for them to run out of steam
True, We've had a few players that dropped tags and went on a rampage. Fortunately they ran out of steam pretty quickly.
They shouldnāt have brought the pack back it had a timer if they didnāt cash in in time to bad
who cares move along
@dry smelt you need more dilithium. Displayed value is wrong by about 30%
Are others running into a failed login error? Gets to charging warp engines 76% then presents a pop up with a help and retry button. Tapping the retry sometimes works other times closing and restarting the app is required.
cycle your wifi.
So a reboot of the modem. Hopefully that will work.
So a fully upgraded Franklin with full swarm research can't kill 1 level 35 swarm?
The ship that's specifically made for swarm btw.
How is that not false advertising?
About tired of these scopely money grab tricks.
Everyone had to relogin 1-2 hours ago. Mine showed me some error and then started reloading the app, other people's apps stopped syncing some parts of the game entirely (their chat wouldn't update for an hour until they restarted manually)
@twin sphinx You need swarm research around level 7. Explorer research nodes up around 7/8. I can kill 5 on one run with this research and max franklin and cadet crew.
@craggy egret cycled it, still occurring. App Store shows my current version as 9.0.1, what version do others have?
@dry smelt drydock b is bugged...
i'm very angry at the moment. i shot now lvl 38 to 40 and become again only kehra/vahklas/kumari parts. what's wrong with the game? other alli members shot only lvl 31 to 33 and became all good ship parts like centurion/ b'rel/ bortas. make i anything wrong? š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬
It's ok, use all the spare parts to create new ships. Level all your new ships to max level. Then use the scrapyard to gain a few rare ores. You'll feel amazing, buy some more packs and forget everything š
This is why we need an automated resource node kick off routine
Always happens, top alliance calls the shots, it's not bullying, it's just how the game works
yall servers sound lame
"purge" lets have people not progress an entire day every week
if you have a purge just hit the guys mining
then they cant do anything to you lol
@muted stag same in 195
Supposedly it contains Parsteel and Titanium mine nodes
EMPTY!!!
Not a single Parsteel/Titanium node!
Not a single node of ANYTHING
EMPTY!!!!!!!!!!
Thx scopely for screwing me for 5 levels
You can possibly get it from event stores, it was in my event store at level 26 for a few events
@hallow pumice
Server 13 doesnāt work that way like you stated above. Itās really calm there.
I wonāt bore you with how we made that happen unless youāre interested
Please match T'laan to Chen in rarity. Both are used for hostile dmg mitigation, but Chen grows stonger.
Hey could we get some alliance features added like mass message and activity logs?
Is there a way to accelerate Faction points? Any tips? Appreciate any feedback.. thank you
Btw.. Happy New Year
Can we update the dailies to do with Alliance help? For 10 helps daily you get 10 Alliance credits. But for the daily with 50 helps you only get 15 Alliance credits. Seems loosing 35 credits a day is rather hard to buy shields, & such.
Is there a date when the daily reward packs will be available for purchase for January?
February
I have had this notification banner for over an hour now showing me events from the past 5 hours. Same thing during armada events. All armadas started since last login are notified on this banner.
<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> can you please help me by forwarding this to the devs. The notification bar has to go away or be optional. Moving it down takes up screen real estate that I need while playing. Thanks in advance.
<@&509691205798592532> Can we get some Crew balance? Nero never gets used because he is so Weak. Spock is so super overpowered its rediculas. And Kerla only works IF you get a crit hit.
Its a clear advantage to be Fed. I not knowing this went Klingon/Rom in the beginning. Now I cannot uae faction credits to build a super OP Spock. So I just have to accept the fact if my ship isnt 2 levels higher I have no chance... Spock breaks the battle triangle. His ability kicks every single round! How does that compare to all other perks? Wht dont I get crit hits every single round with Gorkon Kerla? PLZ address this as you did with the ship rebalance. Thank you.
is the server down?
@crude sigilno
thanks
My server appears to be down, or something!
Has there been any feedback on the release date that will bring the faction locks back? I have stopped playing until it happens. My factions already got messed up in 3 days after the last update.
<@&509691205798592532>
No firm date as of yet
It is coming in the next patch. Sometime this month is what we were told. Updates will happen as we know for sure.
Thanks guys
Just no date set
<@&509691205798592532> I really need your help. We're having a really nasty player that the whole server hates. He's mostly drunk, curses, posts rasist, xenophobic and homophobic remarcs, sends horrible pms to players. The problem is that in-game moderators will not for some reason kill his account after a lot of tickets from most alliances and screenshot. He has got 3 days bans for several times, but he always gets back and does the same thing over and over again. What rute can we take? To whom do we speak to? We really need this problem solved. This guy is killing the server
@nova sierra report him with screenshots, the more people report him, the more weight it will carry .
Unfortunately we did. All the screenshots were sent with the most vial things said there. Nothing was done. This is carrying on for a few months now. I'm really thinking of writing CBS or some official office in the States...we need a solution for this guy. If what he does here was done on Facebook he would have been in prison
@frigid tree and thank you for your time šš»
@nova sierra Can you collect your screenshots and pass to a moderator in PM and if you have an open ticket yourself add your player ID in there
We might be able to look into it should it be extreme
@lost ice You were told to leave the topic alone but you keep going, even now you keep going on about it. Move on, chat about something else or do something productive, stop tagging unnecessarily
@dawn nexus thanks. I'll try to do this today. I'll attempt to get more screenshots from the others
Peple need to stop their crying . i see more rediculous complaints over language more than anything. If you can't handle someone speaing to you. Block him or her. Stop trying to say they deserve to be in jail. You people are rediculous ....
Please give me the $20 and $50 monthly back pls. I have bought a $20 or $50 monthly pack all year and now I just have the $100. I wonāt buy it canāt afford it and you wonāt make any money off this guy this month. With Armadas being in the crapper you figure you would want every $ you could get.
@tired hedge all part of scopelys pricing strategy. If you buy the packs then they increase the price of the packs, hoping you'll keep spending beyond your means. Rather crazy if you ask me, but clearly something must be working though not on me since I have other commitments such as family etc. so am unable to buy anything in the store that is offered. I guess I am not their target market.
@stuck delta agreed I struggled to buy the $50 monthly every month no chance on getting the $100 for sure.
These complaints need to get louder. Their packs are an insult to gaming
Supercell always gave everyone the same offers
In game support have 0 clue about the game, don't waste your time with them
Relocate to SOL, hahaha
Cut pack prices by 75%!!
@nova sierra if in some jurisdiction some law forbide the player behaviour the player offended by it could think of making a complaint to Law Enforcement or any relevant Authoriy.
Where can I find northstar blueprints?
@nova sierra i am investigating how I can accomplish this as I will try. This person that I'm talking about is an act away from making the news
@nova sierra im not a stranger to barter, most is fun and it always ends well. The guy I'm talking about has mental issues no doubt. Until you know the full equation please don't make a statement about the case. If it were simple as someone bantering or just being an jerk it would solve itself. You don't really imagine there's a whole server full of sensitive people, do you? :) this guy is a problem and it will be solved as such
@tired hedge @stuck delta I even reached out to support. Attached is what they sent me (level 27 on server 30)
And they mean to tell me that epic armada tokens are meant for a player my level?
Guess they don't want players money anymore. I spend what I can afford to.
The pvp Level Balance is absolutly unfair. No Chance to defend.
Does anyone know if they removed the Northstar pack from the game, I've been waiting for events to end so I can purchase it but it still is not showing up in store. Please any devs that can give me a definitive answer would be great so I know if I'm waiting around saving money for it for no reason.
@fleet otter I agree. As lvl 29 I cant hit lvl 19 base. But the lvl 40 guy who just hit me was ok to do it. Why Scopely, why!!!
@hoary spindle hi, you should be happy to get the pack more than one time... i only get it once!!
I would like to comment on the rewards system now. While they have been greatly upgraded, I think you need to mix it up a bit. the uncommon, rare and lat are great but you need to give us some trint focus events like the good ole days
I know Quality Care is something that is Job One at Ford Motor Company, but honestly yāall decided to make these 22 hours and of course we have some that slip through the cracks because someone isnāt doing their job. This is a simple fix fellas. Come On.
@stone parrot I canāt see any packs to buy ships. Iām in the same boat as you. But Iām level 18. Also, I canāt find any missions as well to get blueprints.
@fleet otter that's how it'll always be
A question why is my daily missions jump 2 lvls? I'm lvl 27 only able to upgrade scrapyard but had 10 lvl 32 Klingon/ Rom for points then 25 lvl 33 same for points but with no ops upgrade I'm at 10 lvl 34 and 25 lvl 36 so I won't be getting points so why play anymore
1 34 and I have to repair. sad just another way to try and get our money. Lots saying same can't move up without paying arm/leg/1st 2 male children
@flat turtle your rep lvl probably changed
@fleet otter better than to be one shot by a horizon or faction miners
You can stop those Jellies at lvl28+ btw
@hazy shell and what Has this to be done with the pvp lvl range?
oh the pvp range! yes, I agree with your complaint.
@frigid jolt Okay, than i would like to attack a lvl 17 base, too
same lol
Haha
I wish PvP lvls were better but this what it is and we need to learn to live with it š
Nope, as a Customer I can complain about this. And also if more and more Game mechanics are odd like useless generator amounts in the base it is better to quit and change to a Game where the guys are listening to their customers
@flat turtle your faction dailies are based on your faction rep, not your ops level. you can actually get them to go back down if you kill enough of their ships, traders work best. once you get the rep back down the dailies will change at the next day changeover.
Does anyone know a way to contact the devs?
@tired hedge I believe they are still there but they post the most expensive pack first for a few days for some weird reason
I think they believe it will encourage a greater spend
something that they can easily A/B test
I remember last month the elite monthly was there for a few days before the others showed up
@stone parrot Via support with a bug report - nothing direct
maybe via the AMA on reddit if they have another
Whole bunch of new officers but all gimped
Lots without names
Clicking on them makes the game go to a black screen
@modern needle because it wasnt intended to release them now
Figured as much
Does anybody know of issues with the alliance members list and the online indicator?
Do we lose the ability to buy the$20 daily pack at lvl 27? Or will it come back?
Because I refuse to pay more than$20 a month on a video game
@dry smelt because you already bought the $20 pack they upped you to the $50 ones to either force you to spend more, or lock you out of spending. Its designed to encourage whaling as they aren't bothered about $20 per month players only the big spenders who must make up 90% of there revenues
Well they won't be getting any big money from me lol
Soooooo....
Here's a good news. I reported ingame that autoshield isn't working, from time to time. That notifications aren't working from time to time either.
Here's a summary of Scopely's answer:
ćWe know that when hit by a miner, Shield might not work. Working on it. Don't know when it will be fixed. Oh, and don't expect us to reimburse lost rss.ć
Is this some kind of sick joke? I didn't lose any rss (well today) because I was here when the bug happened. But a member of my alliance was drained thanks to that.
And it's a bug. Seriously Scopely, you're a paying game. People are losing rss they may have PAID for...
You must be new to this....
š well would I be an US citizen, and pay-to-play, a class action would already have been filed. But I'm none of this.
Oh.
Wait... š¤”
The augur is a piece of crap. it requires spock and kirk in order to survive battle, the shield is by far tooo weak and dies too fast, or need to adjust amount of hull damage received as the mitigation effect of the shield is really needed to work reasonably. e.g. look at these two hits.
That is because Zhou is op
augur is cripple wear.
you can't put zhou on there without wasting the big weapon.
You should be happy that you dont have D4
kirk + spock, kirk is useless by himself
spock for the shield regen
nero for the big gun
burning crew suxs. does minimal damage
If you have a 300% Zhou you will see the diff.He is way op
so back to general feedback. Augur blows smoke and definitely a lemon
When I started this game I expected Ent to be best ship in the game so not suprised why E is op compared to Augur or D4
How do we soend the armada credits? Im level 14 and got to participate in a couple of attacks on uncommon armada targets... How do I use the credits? Or is it going to be in the alliance store later on? Many thanks
@silent hawk you cant at level 14. Armadas are for players starting at level 23 I believe it is
@fallow rapids youre right....our alliance has a lvl 25 who started summoning armadas....us littles folks got to join and got some armada credits breadcrumbs that I am not sure how or if we can spend yet
@delicate sentinel, So I'm wondering what Scopely's logic is here with the amounts of material required to get ships to Tier 9. At their current requirements, a player will likely NEVER get a ship to max tier, as they will be able to get the next ship up, which will out perform it, before ever obtaining enough materials (ore/crystal/gas) to reach Tier 9
Here's my example of my D4, which I currently have at Tier 4. The included picture is of a quick Excel sheet I put together based on the figures from LCARS Library:
Basically, from Tier 4 to Tier 9, would cost $21,600 USD buying the current Interceptor/Explorer special packs, or $22,800 USD with the Ultra Ship packs. I am currently OPS 34.
Having just watched the Combat Update podcast I have the following observation. With so much talk in the podcast about officers and their abilities it is a continual frustration that crew management is non-existent. We still cannot save crews, search officers by ability/stats etc., filter by the same aforementioned. Assigning crews, officer by officer, for each ship and/or task, is extremely time consuming and unless you know each officerās ability intimately (less easy as more officers are released) a not so easy task.
Are there any plans for any kind of crew management? It is a long overdue feature that is sorely missing
@gloomy lagoon I'd say there is, based on the fact that they have included exactly what you are talking about in some of the Surveys that were released in the past couple of months
Itās a shame we canāt invite friends
We need crew managment and Rebalance. Spock is indestructible. Breaks the battle triangle... Procs every round. BROKEN
Lvl 25-26 sux so hard to get trit, trit, trit, trit, trit, trit, trit, trit, trit, trit. It is ridiculously hard to get enough trit to upgrade ships. Just me two cents. Getting soo frustrated itās a joke.
We need Harrison to counter spock, but apprently he's only for the super elite who got him the first time.
Anybody could've unlocked Harrison.
He's just so op that scopely doesn't know what to do with him
Please re-evaluate mission rss requirements. I now have 6 missions that require 50M Tritanium or more.
Level 34 ops, trit warehouse caps out at 9.44M
Mining tritanium is a highly unrewarding endeavor, so what little we get, we need for upgrading ships.
@silent hawk There are 2 things - credits and directives
Credits you spend in the alliance store (Alliance -> Store> and you can buy the armada pack. I don't know if there is a lvl limit
Directives are for starting armadas and you need to be lvl 23+ and have the armada control center to start one
@velvet plover gotcha...cheers....i can only assume theres a lvl limit for spending the credits
Check again at ops 15 - I don't imagine that any lvl req is going to be very high
Somebody else might have more insight on reqs for spending credits - I am still pretty green in the game
@sage grove which Spock are you talking about? Spock or instructor Spock š
Regular Spock with kirk or marcus
Thanks
Just got taken out by a trained fighter AGAIN. I hate the game mechanics in this game.... Scouts suck. Trained fighters suck. Battles lag and are hard to engage in. I am hitting the Paywall hard. 2000 UC to upgrade anything. I came to play not work.... Game is getting to where its not fun. Its a chore.
The figures of what you need are off - I have heard by about 30%
@ember canopy language please
sorry, not sorry. its frustrating! and it boggles my mind that people still spend money on this game when things like this continue to go unnoticed or ignored by scopely
I agree with your point, should have been fixed a long time ago. But priorities are decided upon and that clearly hasn't been one of them. Please be constructive with your feedback and don't swear as it will just get deleted
š
Hence my post if you scroll up
WE NEED MORE MINING NODES! especially g3 gas on server 34
Dear Scopely Marketing:
If I buy a monthly pack - I am very likely to buy the same pack the next month.. While I understand your desire to upsell - give the option - don't remove them.
Warm regards,
D4sher
Buying 20 times 5$ pack will give you more unc than buying a 100$ pack @velvet plover
That might hurt their revenue
The more I think about it the more I like the way the dvor mining works. It would be cool to see that applied to the other miners. The linear progression to level them up combined with greater yeilds of uncommon and rare mats I think would be very satisfying to long term players.
Scopy hope u read this feed back š
1,Armadas can you sort it that the leader can pick who takes part in the armada this stops greedy higher powered players kicking lower guys, and can we look at using the armadas for attacks on bases ?
2, inter sever travel so we have new raiding grounds and places to travel.
3. And this one will be good if u can sort a alliance space station and system weāre you can park alliance ships in and you can have it were u have to protect ur station and system from other alliances attacks ( if they beat you then they keep ur station for a certain period of time and ur system ) just a few thoughts that might stop this game from turning into FarmVille š±š±š±š±š±
@hardy ice I would like for them to add a latinium mining officer to keep up with all the other mining in the game. You would have thought they would have put a feringi officer in when the Dāvor was released.
This will be my first month I wonāt be able to buy a monthly package. I canāt afford the $100 monthly package on top of me trying to save money back for Armada packs and primes I still donāt have and really want. PLEASE put back in the smaller packages. At least try it, I bet you will make more money. I bet there is more players not able to purchase the $100 packs and need a cheaper one then players that do purchase it. From a marketing stand point u think u would want every available option out there for a person to spend. Instead you are putting a block both ways by removing the cheaper packs. Only thing left for me now is the $5 armada pack just for latinium.
@delicate sentinel
You would think putting common sense into the offered pack would be a top priority. But who ever designed the packs was either a greedy ass or just stupid. Point a vault of Latinum hold 2000 and 200k plasteel for 99$! In most of the 19.99$ packs you can get 2k Latinum and lots of other needed items.
Be nice to buy things with Latinum in a store. Gets really old having to buy a 19.99 pack to get parts to upgrade any ship when you could convert old items into needed items.
We have a serious problem with dominant alliances being unassailable, even by a coalition of lesser alliances. The dominant alliance can pick off top players from others, and can behave tyrannically without cost. It should be possible for an armada to successfully attack a stronger ship or raid a stronger base.
EVERY time I reboot the app, this shows up. EVERY F* TIME**
The most annoying and frustrating part of it is: The game does NOT tell me what mission I need to complete NOR how to get rid of this annoyance.
Add something to tell players how to to make it go away/what mission to finish
@keen sphinx only the top alliance would win and that would be nearly pointless to rest of server for station game. What might be more interesting varient of your idea is a capture the flag that limits who can capture it based on level. If the game encouraged more distribution of levels in alliances that might add an interesting mix for all players.
Why are we losing battle reports e.g. 27/30 and the one I'm missing I want explicitly the Armada reports.
@scopely you obviously don't realize people play the game for fun and not to bang their heads against a paywall requiring ridiculous amounts of RSS to upgrade anything. Who are you marketing this for? Whomever they are there are significantly less of them than your normal playerbase. #nonsustainablebusinessmodel
Fix the reputation problem! I worked my ass off to max each rep. It makes no sense to do dailies or events that move me backwards?!
Scopely, please stop the ridiculous Resourcen paywall to upgrade anything!
<@&509691205798592532> , something is fishy with the requirements for the Galaxy research Prime 3* Crystals Refining. It requires 1000 uncommon G4 crystals. If I would have that amount of G4 uncommon crystals I would give them a better use than improving the refining process of G3 crystals.
Can anyone tell me if you can run the game using the same name on a pc and iPhone and iPad
Don't think so. You would need to run an android emulator on pc. So unless there's an ios emulator for pc you wouldn't be able to.
Check out Alliance PVP | ROGE vs OO | Rev Skywalker Commentating https://www.twitch.tv/revdeuce
Ok here is another up yours from scopely. We have a few new additions to the alliance and even though they are finishing their solo on Battle to Glory. They are not getting any points added to the Alliance LB. so they will not get any rewards either from the LB. we also had two members leave but their points are still there but not gone up. Nor have they scored any for their new alliance
You get fair warning about that.
Where? I have no recolection on that being advertised.
Kind of like if a player donates to an alliance if they leave all their contributions go into the digital void. They do not get the RSS back. Their new Alliance doesnt get the contributions and their old alliance no longer have it either
I haven't joined/left an alliance in a while, but I'm sure someone has a screenshot of it for you. It's not a secret
This is the first I have relized running across it.
@quasi wren try to leave alliance you will see the warning
I have the ss but it was taken months ago so will take 10mins to find it š
OK looked. but what of if joining an Alliance. I do not understand the reasoning on that part
It's not fair for players to join an alliance during an event and inflate the scores.
Wait til the next event
Is it a coding issue
Your contributions dont stay in old alliance but they dont transfer to new either
Also intended
Otherwise you would lvl alliance without spending rss
we have been near 3/4 and then drop everytime one leaves that has conributed. But why does it disapear totally? The player doesnt even get a 50% return
If a player put rss into the alliance and wishes to leave thats all good. If a player puts points into an Alliance event and leaves mid e vent the alliance still retains the points they contributed
@quasi wren it's because the contributions don't belong to the alliance, they belong to the player. the total is a calculation from all player totals. When they join or leave an alliance that players total resets to zero because at some point they had no alliance and you can't contribute to no alliance so there must be a zero balance.
So why does the player not have what he contributed back on his accoiunt then?
To put it this fasion I go to one Church and make donations to improve the church. One day I decide to go to a different Church so the one i was contributing to needs to burn my donations so no one gets it.
Yet on events if they contribute points to event and leave you still keep their points they made so far in event.
If you don't go to church then you're not contributing to one (theoretically) and when you go to a new church your donations to the old one are meaniningless to the new one (theoretically).
Yes but they ment something to the old church
technically the old alliance does keep the points in a way, that's where the levels come in, they never go down in level due to lost contributions.
Yes they mean something to the old church, but consider this: your regular donations to the old church have stopped, so they have now lost that income. if you consider the points a regular income rather than a static total it makes sense.
It's like a budget.
True but that is like a milestone. a save point so to speak
yes, levels are essentially a save point.
But if your donations are say going to the school class room additionand they are halfway to the full amount when you leave. Do they just deduct your portion of donations to the class room addition. And start further behind?
no. like i said, it's not a static total, it's more like a budget or income. the classroom has a budget based on income. if some of that income stops, the budget gets smaller.
Say your goal is $10,000. your up to $6,000 a member or two leave that donated good amounts of about $2,000. Does that mean your new total is only $4,000?
Budget, NOT total.
Contributions are to Improve Alliance not maintain it
Ingame, in terms of the alliance, the total you see is the budget, each players individual total is the income that is calculated into that budget. if a player leaves that income is deducted from the alliance budget.
Yes that's true, i'm just explaining how the mechanic works.
It's not a pool of resources, it's a budget based on the current player base.
An Alliance budget is rated as Power, PWD and RSS raided.
It would make sense in terms of real world economy, the alliance playerbase are taxpayers.
Not in contrubutions
Power, PWD and RSS raided are virtually meaningless, they are just used in the leaderboard calculations and provide no real bonuses.
contributions provide the bonus of leveling up to allow more players.
it's a pay-for-capacity deal.
OK Back to this point. A player has paid to assist their Aliiance to do the addition. They leave Alliance prior to getting to the goal. If the Alliance does not retain their doations and they do not receive a refund for their donations. Then all that rss and lat is deposited into the nearest sun.
Which again makes zero sense.
The player got all kinds of bonuses for doing those contributions in the form of the daily contribution rewards. Nothing is really lost for the player, they got what they paid for.
the contribution total to the player at that point is meaningless.
So why does the Allaince not get to retain it for it is not meaningless to them. And as for rewards for contriutions there are non until alliance reaches next level. If our refering to the daily alliance helps that is well taken care of by assisting other alliance members with station and ship helps. So where is the payout then for the player?
Alliance contributions count toward this daily event which gives the players faction rep and credits.
Its not like the alliance support gets reset once completed prior to the 24 hrs daily reset
That is for daily rep events which are easily taken care of with your own ship repairs or upgrades to ship/station
Not always, due to extremely long timers at higher levels. and the contributions also count toward alliance helps.
yeah and see how mines not done? i've got 3-4 day timers on everything and nothing to upgrade. i've either got to smash my ships a bunch of times and waste speedups, or just donate a couple times and be done.
I finished mine with one ship upgrade and my ship repairs. Flipping Kumari not cheap on upgrades.
Well Scopely will do as they think as it pertains to this matter. I feel it is a theft from player and alliances both but thats my opinion. Its late and im off. Nice chatting @craggy egret
I was just hit my shielded station was raided by a player named azpotato I would like to know if we arenāt safe behind our shields especially when a level 40 player can raid level 27 players and steal their resources shield or no this makes the game unplayable
If your shield is up no player, irrespective of size, will get into your base.
Raise a ticket with support if that really is the case.
There is no one here who can directly help you.
Ya my shielded base gets hit all the time. All Scopely says is I forgot to shield. Which is why I have to screen shot when I put shields up now.
And it stopped happening? š
Wow scopely great bonus refining. I refined 3 batches of gas and got 19 uncommon. Nothing else. The bonus refining results were worse than my normal refining.
yeah the bonus refinary hasnt been updated since they boosted the regular one.
Why canāt I buy the Jan reward pack?
Hmm
How is it fair that a level 38 can attack a level 25. His one ship was stronger then my base and ships combined
fully agree with you @dense tapir, but when has this game ever been fair?
I was wondering regarding the lvl diff - are station atk and ship atks using the same code?
ship-ship combat ranges are broad because of mining, 0 nodes, over cargo, etc
cracking bases does feel unfair with the lvl diff currently allowed
imho
Same PvP lvls for both ship and base fights
With narrower ranges, this could still be accomplished with alliance members working together
aye
I was thinking maybe split them - help people feel things are more balanced
A side effect is that it causes confusion for players
Maybe other section 31 officer packs?
Harrison would be nice...
Noooo
moves country
That would make a lot of F2P people angry
@frigid jolt stick all the section 31, existing and new in the prem/ultra recruit chests š¤·āāļø
Or do we wait for an event....
New ship ability - transporter lock
You can beam officers off other ships in pvp
Haha š
Change the level rading system. Level 35 hitting 25???? So then 25 shoul be able to hit 15?? This is ruining the game. Wallet warriors rule and anyone who grinds allways loses. Make it 2 levels down Limitless up.
Could ST also add some kind of confirmation first before we spend Latinum? This could also be disabled and enabled in the settings for those that doesn't really care about Latinum consumption
Oooh and there should be a level limits/point system so no single alliance becomes to strong....for example... the higher level players there are in an Allince the fever there can be members. Not like we have were on alliance is all 29 or more an no one else has a chance att anything.
As long as there are poorly constructed leaderboard events, power will always accumulate to a few alliances.
@tepid nimbus Cadet?!?! For the money weāve spent I think commander is the least you can say. Yes sir, yes maāam. No sir, no Maāam. Wholly crazy crap nuggets.
Oh yeah, fix the bugs or at least apologize once and a while.
Please make faction miners more useful out of the box. They are so expensive to upgrade! Include in the mining bonus ability 2 or 3 of the rss (par, trit, dil)
@frigid jolt ... so itās the end of early January. Any word on when to expect the rep locks update to be rolled in?
Hey Scopely- please fix this. A 40 should not be able to hit a 28. Do not appreciate that I can be one shot at will.
Any word on when the update to relock faction rep will happen. I'm tired of watching my reps slide bacwards
As I see it now my wallet goes shut untill 200k north stars can no longer attack a f2p fully upgraded 16 base. Just one example.
Dont tell me to shield up. That #1 may also cost money, and #2 closes my ability to compete in some events. For all I know that paid up ns belongs to a player with business interests in the game. Get it?
Use alliance credits for shields
also 1 x 4hr & 1x 8r shield from dailies. Move your base around and mine / grind in different systems. Don't be predictable
Or buy a ship. But then never level up as that would make it obsolete. This looks fishy in my opinion.
I do not mind to spend money. But it should be sensible. I get the feeling this is a game for bullies.
I'll stop my comments there (if it does not get deleted). I'll monitor the situation in game while I bring my own game to a halt - fix the playing field. I'll be watching.
It's most definately a game for bullies. 100% designed that way.
I don't think that is a fair assessment
Just because people can bully - due to any mechanic - you shouldn't lock people into one style of play with game mechanics
There are a few things that could be tweaked to make it a more level playing field
Suggestion - tweak the mega miner event to allow players to steer the rewards with what they mine. If they mine only para, the rewards are para, if they mine dil - the rewards are dil
If they mix - the results are a ratio
With * mats - map the mat to a base rss
Ah. So I can park my 200k ns next to your fully upgraded f2p lvl 16 base @100k while my wife etc (or alt accounts etc) wins the events. Perfect. We always win.
a majority of the payout is in the form of tokens..
I don't think you get those in raids :p
Dont you think a "never progressing, maxed out" account presents a problem? Now if I have multiple accounts... yeah :p indeed.
What makes it better is if I am an "agent" of some sort - you know, with interests to "nudge" players to progress or buy stuff.
You are talking about bullying and lvl differences?
Bullying.
The current lvl ranges are too broad when it comes to base attacks imho
I think the reason has to do with that the lvl range is also used for ship to ship combat
You have to base it on lvl rather than ship power
delink the lvl ranges for bases and ship combat and then you can have a narrower range for station combat and broad for ship combat
ship combat has to be larger to cope with mining nodes - 0 nodes, over cargo, etc
People can bully but its not the game mechanics job to deal with it - it should be the community, alliances, etc
Many servers have RoE
Those are community driven initiatives and generally they work well
With that I agree. And might work - if only 2 players were able to stand together and be online at the same time. You need to put youself in the position of the f2p player and experience such a raid to understand it.
Well raiding is a mechanic to get rss and healthy competition is a good thing - as long as there is some kind of balance.
If you work for your rss, regardless of how - then you should feel that you have a fighting chance of progressing without being exploited
Shields are one option but I think it biases things too much in one direction
Scenario: I want a ns. Would I buy one if my aim is to progress and make it redundant.
all ships are redundant at one point
There are only a couple that aren't I think
D'Vor, Franklin & maybe the BB
And logical even. Would be boring otherwise. Which (just an opinion) is the case with the forever lvl X player. I question that players motive. Like why the even mine, hit miners, or even raid.
Maybe the borg will bring us modular ships
where we can swap out parts on a base frame types
Agreed. And makes me smile. Back on point though... That ns, 200k, puts that player in another class or level imo. He is no longer a plain old lvl18 within range of a 16 like everyone else.
I think all content should be accessible - including ships
a player who supports the game through paying for quicker access is a good thing
All players should have access to content appropriate for their lvl through hard work
That hard work might be a job, it might be effort in the game
I agree with that too (yet be wary about the time it might take).
š
I would love those modular stuff
This is one of the reasons I am not a fan of things behind time locks..
If you grind it hard, you should be able to cash in on that effort
Aye, it would be pretty neat
And rewarding too. I like it.
Eve implemented this as a mechanic some time ago - it was pretty neat
It involved collecting mats, research, building, skills, etc
And it would kind of fit with the borg concept - assimilate tech and incorporate it into their own ships
Design wise it is complicated - the combinations, permutations of bonuses, etc to prevent overpowered
Yeah - like a ship that smashes into my base might leave a part or 2 behind? š which touches on a solution. I dont think I have the answer. But enjoy the direction were going.
Monopoly behaviour just needs some counter.
And working one. Pay is already there. So next is the die hard fan who cannot or dont want to go into a $ based arms race - give him an option too. A honest reachable one. Not too easy (because it special and "I earned it". Yet not pointlessly long either because "I'm not a level bully and this ship does become obsolete when I progress". Again I dont claim to have the answer.
... even that earned ship still puts him in another league though, and he would still always be a senior to another die hard fan that joins the game later on. So did he earn the right to slap the newer guy around... forever.
adversity begets creativity š
Can we get some sort of pvp tournament system and not just for the wallet warrior but every level?
T4 ships
@vernal lotus I agree with you on levels for base raiding. I think the problem they have there is making it a different level systems for bases vs ships, i.e. miners. If you can only attack 2 levels down, you can't clear most miners out there to get a node, however they can clear yours etc.
Hello are why is it when armada leader is not in the zone or is attacked by hostile in system this is then cancelled, but no armada directives refunded.
how is a pack that gives me only 3/4 of one components uncommon ore needed a massive value?...a Massive value would be the 2440 unc ore and the 300 unc crystal needed for the three remaining components on my bortas... @delicate sentinel please let scopely marketing know their descriptors are WAY off the mark.
@crimson rose it is for lvl40+ and about 4g ship parts
<@&509691205798592532> <@&509691611903426561> Any update on the faction lock reinstatement release date? This latest faction kill event is hurting us all even more trying to compete and getting us further away from what we have worked hard towards.
Nope
Nothing new, just that it would be corrected in the next update.
@leaden herald Content Crators are not scopley...
Trying to figure out if we should tell our guys to lay low for now or not.
@azure holly š Didn't know that
@leaden herald Please see this link for roles: https://discordapp.com/channels/509679626763632640/509679626763632642/600409428948287519
do all 3 and it cancels each other out
Scopley thinks so little of us, now we are referred to as cadets instead of commanders. Lol. Can't even push an update out after the holidays to fix the faction limits. I guess spring time is technically after the holidays.
They're so piss poor. I have a guy who's account has been barely playable for over 2 and a half months. They can't figure it out. SMH. Why not just rebuild his account. Never have I seen such bad customer service or programming.
Loco... Hagan mƔs dinƔmico el juego!!! Es un aburrimiento absoluto
@cursive finch I appreciate the mod announcement, didn't mean to stir anything.
No worries big daddy
Bah! I exorcise and drink a V8 in my beer once a week! šš
@leaden herald It has been said several times, including in announcements that faction lock will be readded "soon" but we do not know the time. Just be glad that Scopely even agreed to change it back at all. Removing faction lock was supposed to be permanent.
Itās what the players (their customers) want. Constantly telling people āsoonā is not an answer. The ship rebalancing was going to be done āsoonā and it was ~4 months after I complained to support and they told me it was ābeing looked intoā.
Itās not hard to prioritise something and give a rough estimate. If itās off by a few days or a week itās not a big a deal compared to just constantly saying āsoonā.
Wait and see, the next update will have something new to buy with a credit card but not the updates / changes players want. Thatās why everyone is annoyed
Right but itās worrying to hear that scopely either:
A) wonāt tell the mods the actual plan
B) doesnāt have one and just telling mods to repeat a message until itās true
@delicate sentinel Is there a better Station Pack coming soon?
Or a pack with more rare ore?
Need 500 for upgrade Ops to 39.
Donāt want buy 15 normal station packs š
The reason we say "soon" is because dates change. If they give a definitive date, find something wrong with the code and have to change the release discord melts down. So we do not give definitive dates in any format outside of official announcements. The problem you run into now is that the question is asked 100's of times a day and we feel compelled to constantly reply. Bottom line is the only information that will be given on faction lock return will come in the form of an official announcement from Panic. If you do not see one, there is no update.
<@&509691205798592532> - Reading above I totally disagree with the sentiment of that statement. The players should not ājust be gratefulā that Scopely have agreed to do something but cannot get it done. I think you may have forgotten the level of player protest at the time and just telling people what they wanted to hear to prevent a mass game exodus only to not do it will only serve to cause distrust amongst the playing community and likely the mass exodus they are trying to prevent. I have been told by MANY š³ if this is not resolved in short order they will be leaving the game permanently. Scopely need to take the timeframe extremely seriously in this cause a provide the necessary update in short order.
Yay conspiracy theories šæ
maybe the baby whales threaten to leave, because it hasnt stopped spending. It will be back soon. That is all we can say.
@frigid jolt - What conspiracy theory - Scopely promised to do something in a timeframe and have not delivered? Am I missing something?
how have they not? They said after the holidays. How people interpreted that is beyond me. Its like after the holidays was interpreted to mean Jan 2.
Most dev didnt even get back from holiday until this week.
Then after the holidays was just meaningless word salad!
So if they released the update on Jan 30 it would still be within the time frame they gave
You cannot superimpose your interpretation of a date on theirs
Yep
