[dense monolith]

and for it to be a useful officer it's even lower

[willow raven]

They do. It’s to incentivize you to buy packs.

[prisma helm]

Oh definitely. I got a lucky pull today after all the new officers were added. 38 Saru shards 🤣

[dense monolith]

Here let me break it down really really simple

[willow raven]

Still no Lorca in disco recruits. Added him to ultra. Did not add him to transporter patterns.

[dense monolith]

Start with 12/66 or 18% chance to get a shard for something you want. Now out of that 18% chance you have a 5% chance out of 18% for a possible lucky draw on that that is 0.9%

But you have to take the 0.9 and use the 80% 20% rule on it so if it was a lucky draw you have a 0.009 * .8 that its a Rare and a 0.009 * .2 its Epic

[sage ravine]

wtf?

again, what are you smoking?

[dense monolith]

I can't go back and teach you math sorry

[sage ravine]

there was nowhere where I specified that it was 5% chance for a full pull of a specific officer you wanted.....

[dense monolith]

Stick to your common core

[sage ravine]

it's a random full officer

and where did 12/66 even come from?

[dense monolith]

You get 12 shards and there are now 66 officers

[sage ravine]

why are you pulling random numbers from thin air in your explanation?

[dense monolith]

that is where that comes from

no pulling numbers out of thin air

you can do the same math for the 40 with 10 draws before if you like using same formulas above

[sage ravine]

they state that there is a 5% chance of a lucky pull per chest. They do not specify it being a specific officer, so the number of officers available or number of shards in a pull are completely irrelevant.

[dense monolith]

I get you don't understand probability, you are arguing with a literal rocket scientist, best take a seat and go learn something instead of continuing to argue this point.

[sage ravine]

of that 5% chance, 80% will be rare, and 20% will be epic. Anecdotal experience of mine lines up with that.....

[ripe pumice]

I just want to tell Scopely thank you for expanding the recruit chest so that I can start getting or maxing some of these officers.

[sage ravine]

man, I really am glad I'm not an astronaut then.....

[dense monolith]

They choose the 5% chance number because you then automatically assume its a 20% probability which it is not.

[sage ravine]

there's no assumptions here, it's literally what they state in the drop rates information.....https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/509685973966389258/901172345421561896/Screenshot_20211022-141616.png

[dense monolith]

Ok sorry going to stop arguing with ignorance. My apologies to everyone else.

Blocking and moving on

[random gust]

Yay for the officer change, but why was it not ready to go at noon Eastern instead of an hour later? 🤔

With a heroic recruit dropped in there... 🤔

[sage ravine]

I'd suggest you start recording what you get in some ultra pulls for a while, and see what happens. I suspect that you'll find that you get enough to fully unlock the officer from 0 shards to being unlocked in a lucky pull, however many that ends up being. It does not depend on how many shards you need to unlock it based on how many you currently have, nor does it matter if you already have the officer unlocked; you will receive the same amount of shards either way. You should also find that, experimentally, you get around 4x as many rare pulls as you get epic pulls. I haven't recorded mine to confirm, but I think it lines up. Wherever you are taking your statistical analysis is just making things more confusing, not less confusing.....

I think your analysis is deeply flawed, but I have no idea where to even start. For instance, you specify there is a 12/66 chance of getting a shard of something you want. I think that based on what scopely states in their drop rate information, that is incorrect. They state there is a 50% chance of a shard being rare, and 50% being epic. If I want a specific epic shard, there is a 50% chance of a shard being epic, and then 1/22 chance of it being the specific epic shard I want (as there are 22 epic shards in the chest), so I should have a 0.5x(1/22) chance of a specific epic shard I want. This is done 12x each time you pull a chest. However, their own description does not say that the chance of a lucky pull is reliant on these odds at all. It says "Plus, get a 5% chance"..... This chance of a lucky pull is described as being separate from the odds of getting a specific officer in a regular chest pull. I don't see why you need to combine it.

Now, as stated, if there is a 5% chance of a lucky pull, and a 20% chance of that being an epic officer, that should mean there is a 1% chance of a full epic pull. Given that there are 22 epics, that is a 0.04545...% chance of a lucky pull of a specific epic officer. Awful odds.

so, if you're right, there's no way I've got a pull of the ~100 shards I got from Pike, Kang, and Marcus that I have had in a couple of hundred ultra chests. It's such a statistical anomaly that I would have been more likely to win the lottery (which is ironic as I never buy tickets because I know how awful the EV the lottery is), or you might be wrong in how you are thinking about it. Or I'm lying about the full pulls.

here are the officers in question. If you notice, Kang, Marcus, and Pike all have a similar number of shards to 5, 6, Char, Kras, and Mitchell, which are all roughly as difficult to source. Except those 3 are unlocked, while the others aren't. It would also be an extremely unlikely scenario for me to receive an excessive number of these 3 specific officers compared to the othes.....

so, m8, I have no idea what to tell you.

rocket scientist or not.....

[prime ibex]

As seen on: Retrieving…

[ancient turtle]

Kudos to $copely for improving the ultra recruit chests

[gusty yoke]

More access to more officers. Always good.

[jovial dagger]

Still would like to see Picard, Data, Tal, Darwin, Hadley, Hendorff, Leslie, and 3of10 added. But most of all Picard, Data, and 3. I know it would be too much to ask for Harrison.

[plush bay]

WOW! Awesome! Restarting now!

[void spade]

@Ares
What the actual f.???
there have been sooo much improvements in the last times. really. we're far away from "All is fine" but the development is positive.
and now THIS!?!?

Are you kidding us all scopely??

Your communication is a freaking MESS, to be kind...

"dear Players!! we have amazing news!! the ultra recruit chest gets a rework soon!! expect changes in the next XX days. Stay tuned!!"

THIS point_up_2point_up_2point_up_2point_up_2 would have been enough. Use the ingame info board. You have it. use this discord. use your content creators.

you didn't. and so you achieved it that even one of the best and most awaited IMPROVEMENTS in officer sourcing F***ED up a not small amount of players...

That is sooo absolutely unnecessary... or not??

[swift geyser]

What?

[void spade]

@swift geyser there are possibly people who participated in the last officer recruit leaderboard.
these people are now absolutely screwed, depending on how much ultra rek and transporter pattern they spended.

they might have a very sour feeling over one of the best improvements of a long time in this very poor handled part of the game (lorca especially).

this all is the responsibility of this players alone and they may have been rewarded for theire participation in that event. but ALL of this would have been EASILY prevented if scopely would at least TRY to improve theire communication!?

with the simple example in my posting above, would they have this given out on ingame messaging system and or official or content creators discord channels this situation would have been prevented in the first place.
all would have known whats coming up and could plan. and who wanted to blow several 10thousands of ultra reks a few days before that phenomenal and very great change would have known about it and no reason for this bad feeling beside this great change.

its no drama. not at all. its a very good progress on a very problematic part of the game. without any doubt. but it wouldn't have been necessary to let people feel screwed up. it is so simple. it's called communication.

(i simply assume that this change isn't fallen spontaneously out of heaven. i expect they have known about this since weeks and not decided it on an afterwork party at thursday 🤷‍♂️)

would be very great if scopely could further improve on that part too. greetings 🖖

[nova sierra]

why was access to refits altered so that you need to be level 18 to use them? thanks for completely invalidating our efforts and locking stuff we previous earned behind a level lock. give us back access to refits.

[strong geode]

When target priority was changed to 'station' when surrounded by ships was nice for helping you raid, if you are trying to defend an ally it makes it almost impossible. Please don't make 'station' priority when that station is an alliance member.

[nova sierra]

New officers added to ultra chest: great news

New officers added to transporter shard: great news

Previous event required opening ultra chests at the last minute with little notice. So despite the chance to earn new officers I badly want, I have to horde the tokens incase there’s another event in the future

It is INCREDIBLY frustrating to be ~5 shards away from unlocking a useful officer and having to wait god knows how long to spend the ultra tokens

Steps are being made in the right direction, but they keep suffering from glaring oversights, still leaving the game as a frustrating experience for players

[hybrid wraith]

i have mara maxed out in promotion, but got a ways to go to get Kahn maxed out in promotions, i get transport patterns every seven days for having keenser at his max promotions, would like to see the samething for mara or any maxed out officer every sunday

[gray yoke]

you do get transport shards for mara - it just doesnt display the animation

[hybrid wraith]

cool didnt know that but would like to see that so its known

[velvet basin]

Really like the game so far; lvl 16 player.

[thick oriole]

Anyone else get hosed on this lvl 26 cloak unlock thinking you needed to be all 26 to use it only to find it no it's actually for one lvl 26 ship only?

[quick lily]

Our server (Luna55) is in the middle of a meltdown with an EXTREMELY toxic environment overwhelming our Galaxy Chat and Discord.

A bunch of our Whales have taken to making demands of other players and threatening to make the game as unplayable as possible for other people.

Our pleas to Scopely seem to be falling on deaf ears. Is there anything that can be done other than just quitting and finding a different game to play?

[limpid quarry]

i have been trying to create a ScopelyID, so I can use the PC version and store. 3 weeks, countless emails and 2 email addresses later, I still do not have a working ScopelyID. This is becoming very frustrating. Can you help or put me in touch with someone who can?

[nova sierra]

There is already F2P sourcing for Galaxy, combat and station prime researches. E.g scrapping a max faction ship.
When will we see similar avenues opened up for territory, away teams and outlaw research trees?

<@&509691611903426561> and @nova sierra maybe you could also bring this up in your dev Q&A sessions.
Many thanks 🖖🏽

[fading gorge]

This is brilliant 😀 I have unlocked refractive beams!

Unfortunately I haven’t

I asked Scopely why it was possible to get 75 useless shards only to be told that was how the event was run. This is just frustrating

[stable surge]

Does anyone know if there's a list of away team missions with rewards? Trying to look up federation token rewards from away teams lol

[echo bolt]

Dear Scopely. A recent worrying trend has appeared wherein players are not notified that they are being attacked until anywhere between 30 mins and an hour after the raid starts, by which time, many resources have been swiped. Is this deliberate? Or a glitch caused by an overloaded server? Anyone else experiencing the same?

[shell root]

Notifications on devices have been a problem as long as I have been playing. I have one device that notifies right away, but my phone sends them up to hours later. You unfortunately cannot depend on them for a raid defense solution.

And most of my devices refuse to even send notifications when they are turned on.

[echo bolt]

Thanks for that. My garmin watch is fairly reliable otherwise, and iphone is pretty good. Just seems odd that raids are where notifications falls down.

[half ginkgo]

Scopely: With the addition of Warp 500 systems, I recommend a new level of Discovery Warp Range research or maybe an NCC-1031-A that will grant provide "summoning" to the new systems. I also recommend adding other enhancements for any plans for 6* or higher systems you might have in the planning stages. BTW, I am only OPS 41. This post isn't for me at this point in time.
Thank you for all of your work to keep the game moving forward. The new officer sourcing is very welcome addition. @fringe tiger

[neon trail]

Since the first few months of game STFC has said they were going to give us the ability to save crew configurations so we can easily switch up depending on what we want. Is this in a realistic que for future development? It would be GREAT right now given how many different things higher level players need to do.

[weak marten]

Yes

[final plinth]

The spawn mechanic of ships in systems should be reworked / balanced. As of now it seems like if you kill a hostile, a hostile that sits on the spawn-table for any given system is randomly chosen. So for example if everybody is killing level 40 traders, they will eventually get replaced by level 38 and 39 ships (for 39 systems). Same with Sol / Romulus / Kronos: Most ppl hunt the Traders, so eventually only heavy traders will be left. Systems with mixed ships should have slots for any given type of hostile and if one is killed another one of the same type should respawn. This will overall improve the QoL experience in the game.

[weak mountain]

Please fix the problem of disappearing private chats. Atleast give us an option to star chats that we don't want to disapear

game support dont working. first they dont answer, second - they sent me a message about "sorry, we will answer to you later", and now i got a message about "we sent you a message but you're dont answer". so game support now pointless.

[glad cradle]

Try support on Scopely’s website. Make sure to mention the game you need help with is STFC.

[balmy shuttle]

Scopely drops the ball again by excluding independent armadas from today's armada event. Thanks a lot Scopely 💩

Last weekend I discovered I had 9 event tickets left over from a previous arc. I submitted a ticket to see if they could give me 1 ticket so I can use them. I got a message back saying they'll answer me later. Arc ends, event tickets useless now, thanks a lot Scopely 💩

Two weeks ago I missed the expiration of a store pack for something I needed. I asked in a ticket if they could drop it in the store again. Like, I'm trying to give y'all money... and I got some worthless answer about how store packs are based on game progression. No shit, Sherlock, that's how I saw it in the store in the first place! Thanks a lot, Scopely 💩

[balmy shuttle]

... yeah, I know, I figured as money hungry as they seem to be in every other aspect of the game they'd jump at the chance to have me give them more.

It wasn't so much that they said no, it was the reason they gave for saying no that was total horseshit.

[quick coral]

Dear Scopely,

If you want the general populace of STFC to move into the G4 (ops 40+) area of the game, you need to make it so we, the players, feel like we can do so.  When only a handful of players that are free to play are ops 40+, that tells the rest of us that the economy there is just not worth it yet. First, please fix the G3 economy to allow us to max the ships we want to max, research the things we want to research, and feel capable of moving into the G4 world.  Second, it is apparent that more steps need to be taken to fix the G4 economy to allow free to play the ability to actually play and compete in that area of the game.

Until this has been fixed, if you continue to push players up without giving us the ability to progress the way we want/need, then do not be surprised when more players leave the game.

Sincerely,
3 year STFC vet at ops 35

[marble prism]

Can we get the change to base targeting rolled back, or at least split the difference? Targeting ships on station planets is nearly impossible now

[quaint nimbus]

Anyone else having the sun going supernova when clicking on "exterior"-view?

PC and mobile version have the same problem

Everything is updated, restart of the game (pc+ mobile) and even reinstalling didn't help.

[earnest portal]

Hopefully we get a maintenance this coming Tuesday.

But could be week on Tuesday given scopely schedule for arc events.

[cosmic flicker]

exo-comps are ridiculous...adding only to the base stats doesnt really get u much which is why ur not seeing a whole lot of activity with them...so suggestion is to change them to add to the current stats of ships and not just the base

[heavy marten]

I would like to know the fixed issues in latest AppStore release M35.2. Thx.

[noble ridge]

We need an ecocomp that "sends out a false distress signal" to enforce a string of bounty hunters to auto attack our ships. That would be the second most useful excomp available (next to mining) imo.

[fresh bramble]

Hi. Just got an alert that my peace shield is going to expire in 10 mins when it’s got 3 hours. Never used to do that. And I hope station attack alerts are on time…….

I’ve been 6 jellyfish skins short for about 8 months now and haven’t had a single opportunity to get more. Given the effort I put into getting them it’s really taking the piss

We need a way to mark individual players as enemies, friends or allies.

[unkempt tangle]

Just a suggestion on improving cloak: Keep tetryon cap for romulans and double/triple cloak time. Keep cloak time for Klingon's and double/triple tetryon cap.

[sharp relic]

The Power Creep target in Daily Goals of 3000 for low level players is too high for them to achieve on most days and without it they cannot receive their Loyalty Badge reward.

[wise gorge]

Any idea why the disappearing act SMS is impossbile without spending money?

had full quota of tetryons and collected daily drop but still short on points and unable to collect another daily until after the event

[runic sequoia]

It's an event to reward those who spend money, so the rest of us don't have to 😎

[true zealot]

Unless this is where the warp highways come in to play. Which were mistakenly put in latest patch notes. The biggest ops 40+ hurdle is the warp requirements. Not to mention if you have one ship that can, it's 15 min+ travel times.

[willow nebula]

Can we get a cloak for the Vidar? The game description in the details says it’s a romulan ship 🤨🧐🤨🧐

[sage ravine]

Can you elaborate on this? What ops level are you, and are you ever speeding up your buildings and researches?

The only time I ever struggled to get my power creep target completed was when I was camping at ops 14. I was advised to sit there until I had all of my buildings and researches completed before going to ops 15. I spent weeks sitting there with all of my buildings complete, while waiting on research to finish..... Ever since then, I have never had an issue completing the power creep each day, and I just got to ops 34..... I've also started advising everyone at that level to not camp at 14 so hard, and I definitely waited way too long myself. 15+ is not so scary.....

I was always speeding up researches or buildings with my speedups for the daily research and building events to get those event rewards. There always seems to be at least one of those each day that I was online during (and often more than one), which nets more than enough of a power increase to complete the power creep daily.....

[harsh valve]

@everyone

Commanders,

We want to inform you that Daily Events and Daily Goals will get their timer adjusted accordingly to DST on Sunday, 7th November. There will be a 1-hour gap without Daily Events or goals as the old schedules end at 8am Pacific time and the new ones start at 9am Pacific time.

Live Long and Prosper vulcan_tone1
The STFC Team,

But... Why? There are players all over the globe... Why adjust the timezone in line with USA only? Why don't you just leave it alone...

[weak tundra]

It’s a bit disappointing that officer shards awarded for completing missions & away team missions do not turn into transporter patterns if the officers shards are completed. The prize of officer shards is essentially forfeit, suggest turning these to TP as they are in recruit chests.

[vital kettle]

Is TC time shifting too?

[harsh valve]

They do, just the UI doesn't show it properly.

[weak tundra]

Cool, never mind 😂😂😂🍻

[vital kettle]

Not just the USA....

[harsh valve]

Indeed... And all on different dates... And not in the same direction.

Hence why they should just stop it and leave it alone.

This specific change is in-line with a certain part of the USA...

[nova sierra]

Can you spare a thought when putting up surveys polls, games and extras for those that don’t have Facebook. Frustrating to click on a link ingame and then unexpectedly get whisked off to a Facebook page without any warning and not able to do anything about it.

[slim glade]

Hi Scopely Dev and Support 👋 Perhaps it’s been said before but can someone have a look at rules around PvP in territory takeovers? Our server is dying under control of one block of large alliances that kill off pvp during takeover. One alliance could contest for a zone and get faced with ships from as many as 4’or 5 other factions ON TOP OF the the alliance we’re trying to take a territory off. Please can you find a way to allow fair play here? Maybe only allow ships actually contesting a territory in during a takeover? Alliance factions kill fair game play. We want FAIR pVp but the fragile egos in ours and i suspect other servers are determined to not permit it.

[shadow mountain]

Give us a way to get rid of useless ship bps and the option of trading officer shards.....shouldn't have to build a ship, then scrap it to get rid of bps and we should be able to trade in officer shards that we don't want to get shards that we do want.
Last thing, make it easier to get independent credits to upgrade augment officers....

[willow nebula]

It’s 2021. Things might have changed 😂🤣😂

[vital kettle]

I mean Hawaii and Arizona I think ditched daylight savings

[sharp relic]

@slim glade On our server the weaker alliances help each other to defend a territory against a powerful alliance. If you make it the rule that territories must only be contested by 1 alliance v 1 alliance then you will find that the most powerful alliances will end up with 5 each and no other alliance will be able to own one.

[sharp relic]

@harsh valve The United Kingdom ends DST and returns to Greenwich Mean Time at 2 a.m. tomorrow morning, Sunday 31st October.

[haughty fjord]

Can u start offering ACC upgrade pack on a regular base pls? Need rare cores 🤣

[crude sandal]

Because while we don't all shift dst on the same date (UK is this weekend!) , most countries do still have a shift, so they have to make a judgement call on which date of change to go with.

They could just leave it static and have the time shift in/out an hour twice a year, but people complain about that too 😂

Apac and Russia are stiffed

https://youtu.be/-5wpm-gesOY

They should probably just lock the times to UTC and leave it at that, but as I said... They've also had complaints about that

[slim glade]

Problem for us is that 6/7 out of the top 10 alliances in our server are part of this mega faction- it totally stifles pvp for independent, active alliances. What makes it worse is if a non active alliance signs up to the faction, they just let the other whale factions do all their fighting and still end up with 5 territories for themselves.

Having won territory in the past,it makes me sick to then get pushed out by mega alliances who then “gift” territory to weak alliances that suck up to them.

[limpid thistle]

Only allow alliances that have joined a takeover to fight during takeovers and make the iso cost to join increase exponentially so 400k (or is it 450k?) for 1st alliance, 2m for 2nd, 10m for 3rd etc.

[sonic venture]

So, you mean, you don't like the way it reflects reality? Territory capture is about numbers, not strength. Small fast ships to stay alive and running for the group capturing. Small fast cheap ships for their allies to tie up the big ships. If you can get 2-300 ships into the system, the lag will make it even harder for the big alliance to kill a ship because they have to be sitting still

The mechanic is about numbers not strength is what I mean, not that strength has nothing to do with it.

[sonic venture]

That's a terrible idea. Territory won't change hands. How about just make allies.

[limpid thistle]

Not sure how you figure that. IMO takeovers currently too easy to defend which stops territories from changing hands. My proposal was to level the playing field a bit and encourage territories to change hands. Maybe you misunderstood me and thought I only meant attacking alliances had to pay the premium? My intent was to make it expensive for multiple alliances to defend a territory and expensive for multiple alliances to attack a territory - trying to keep it 1v1 (or 1v2)

[sonic venture]

Why punish alliances that succeed at diplomacy?

[limpid thistle]

I see your point - that’s how it is set up currently - 2 big alliance blocs control all the territories and smaller alliances have to pay homage to one or the other.

But that ruins the fun for 2nd tier alliances that just want a fun pvp 30mins with something at stake.

[sonic venture]

How is nothing at stake if you're gonna have a fight to possibly get on the board?

And what do you mean, pay homage? Do they have some deal that alliances must donate bases to raid or something? Or do you just mean that they have become allies of the other alliances? If it's the former, then you shouldn't have much trouble campaigning to create a large bloc of alliances or players tired of paying protection money. If it's the latter, then maybe join a more diplomatic alliance.

Alliance relations is a game mechanic. Sounds like these alliances are using that mechanic effectively to control TC.

Also, what's your definition of 2nd tier alliance?

[limpid thistle]

How is it on your server? Mine is really stale with maybe 1 or 2 territory battles each week across the whole server. Possibly a 1* territory will switch but that’s your lot. If players want jelly bps/different particle etc. they just hop alliances for a week. By 2nd tier I meant 8-12th most powerful alliance - so active but not full of whales. The territory game could be much better - realistically how often does your sarcophagus leave the hangar…?

And I meant both - small alliances suck up to their protector and do as they are told.

[sonic venture]

Well, I'm the smallest member of the #1 alliance on my server. But I've only been here for 2 months or so. We just had a war and pushed the 2nd most powerful alliance out. Us, and our allies control maybe 30% of the board. Another 20% or so is controlled by another block, and the rest is controlled under a sharing agreement or independent. The sharing agreement is a group of alliances who aren't necessarily allies, but switch territories every 2 weeks in a round-robin fashion.

I don't have a sarco, but my alliance puts theirs on nodes for every defense.

I don't know what to tell you. Diplomacy is diplomacy. We don't tell our allies what to do. We make requests but we don't punish if they don't do what we were hoping... I've heard tell of other alliances that have went that route and it didn't end well for them because people don't like extortion.

The top 20 alliances on our server are also the ones who vote on ROE. If you're in 8-12, you should be near max capacity for players, and probably have at least 2-3 allies and some friendlies, I'd imagine. That should be more than enough to get on the board.

TC is scored by number of ships in system, not power. Just keep the big ships tied up and keep the smaller ships alive. There are a lot of strategies that I've seen lead to winning tc

And I should point out that before I joined this alliance, I was in other alliances also in TC.

[slim glade]

In our server, I flood a system with 50+ ships at start of a takeover and knock out defending ships that own that territory, then consolidate with sarco and small fast ships only for the defending alliance to cry for help and have the same number of whales from their “sponsor” to turn up and kick us off every node and catch our fast ships. Reason why? The big alliances want buffer zones around their own systems. We’re in a territory fight with an alliance which has maybe 12 active members (usually about 6 of which turn up to defend) but still owns 5 territories (which they incidentally do not use). This we know as a number of their players joined us in protest of their leadership’s behaviour.

Having played here for over 2 years, it’s incredibly frustrating and makes for a stale and boring game.

[sonic venture]

So do you have allies? Have them come and tie up the whales ships. If you can't take territory away from a 6-12 person alliance, then you don't have enough friends. You should have zero trouble keeping more ships alive than them. Your friends don't need to blow up the whales, just keep em busy

[harsh valve]

Indeed... In my timezone I get 4 timezone shifts because of these changes.

The game should lock to UTC and then the only shifts are those imposed by any relevant country that the user lives in... Which they should be aware of.

[narrow bridge]

Whilst I appreciate getting extra transwarp tokens we all get 2 each day which is plenty to complete event. Most players have max anyway so just means we have to spend more time in the game. So why give us more when everyone will be able to complete without planning when you don't bother giving extra tetryons for cloaking event that could only be completed with planning and being able to start event within 2 hours to be able to get max reward. If you did this the other way around would mean less time in game.

[harsh valve]

Because the Cloaking events were meant to be pay only ... They made a mistake in the numbers that meant you could do it for free if you were lucky!

(as long as you paid for the BP)

[narrow bridge]

It was possible, butI gueesed would have been same milestones as previous so I had 260 and was ready to collect more after event started. But yes you needed to have 245+ and be able to collect 65 more within 2 hours of event start. Many people were unable to do this with such a short window. The rewards weren't good enough to make it worth paying

[harsh valve]

Indeed... Which is weird why it was meant to be pay only... For the same price as a cloak or more 'rons... You could buy much better packs with much better stuff in.
But the responses by CS to complaints highlight that this was actually a decision rather than a mistake.

[whole nexus]

It was still a mistake, just a deliberate one. :p

[cerulean juniper]

Why are they finally switching to DST several hours AFTER it ends?

[shell root]

This adjustment happens every US daylight savings switch. It goes into effect with the events cutover normally.

[nova sierra]

Normally we have to wait for a week or so 😅

[marsh nebula]

owh nvm. I see I missed an announcement

[last nest]

It doesnt

they were 4 months late last time

[marsh nebula]

Just be glad that scopely choses to cater to muricans ......

If you are living in ANY other country than Murica, Mexico or Canada then you in fact ARE already swapped

99% of the world changes today on 31-10-2021

so basically our events ended earlier this week.
And next week the events will change ONCE flipping AGAIN

[molten inlet]

What the frak. I'm getting RMT invites now

[dark grotto]

The free tokens let people without a vidar "compete"

[narrow bridge]

Why is the iss jelly bundle available in app but not webstore? I assume the login only picks up level and not able to determine if your alliance has a 3* territory.

[pale kettle]

Hi. For my daily objectives I’m requested to mine 4* gaz although I’m level 32. Is it normal?

[narrow bridge]

Because you have gone to celebrated with Feds. Recommend that you drop this back down and lock another faction firat. Unless you have a territory with 4* gas.

[pale kettle]

Good idea. I’m gonna work on Romulian.

Thx

[cosmic mist]

hi! is possible to delete my account from your database? I have deleted the game from my phone and I'm not interested in the game anymore.

[jaunty turtle]

FIX THE BRACKETS!

[mental flower]

@Scopely let's talk about these Latinum Transwarp Cells. Ever since you boosted the holy hell out of the D'Vor and its mining speed, these Latinum Transwarp Cells have become entirely stupid and useless. My D'Vor can be completely filled in ten minutes time. Any other ship is so incredibly slow at mining Latinum that it takes 12 plus days to empty a node in these systems. So really, what's the point here?

Let's look at making these areas more viable again. Boost the yield of these nodes higher so that players can send in large capacity miners and fill them up in say, 12 hours, instead of 12 days. Either way, sending in a tiny D'Vor with its barely over 300K cargo bay would still be useless in these areas, but being able to make use of these cells for larger survey ships would be a nice way to make the transwarp cells valuable once again.

[solid drift]

i would love to know why a ops 52 player is in the same bracket as an ops 41 player like jfc really how do you compete with that

[shadow wharf]

Because otherwise that lvl 52 won't have anyone to compete with, lol

[solid drift]

we have 6 50+ people on our server theres people to compete with

[crude sandal]

Which event, out of curiosity? Because some events that 41 is competing with ops 29s already 😂

[solid drift]

it was the recruit and assimilate event

[crude sandal]

In which case I don't think there's much difference in it - you'll have the same access to officer xp and officers at both levels

potentially the lv52 with have less scope to spend xp if he's maxed more officers

If he's a spender though, you're SOL anyway 🙂

[solid drift]

i ended with 152m points and still lost to them kinda stupid...3rd place had 32m

i might have maxed out 6 of 10(didnt realize i had enough tp to get all the shards for him lol)

[crude sandal]

cool

[potent hedge]

General feedback. Uhm, how about NOT having eventless days? Hostile hunt is one of the lowest paying events for higher ops, and it's the only event everyone has

[solid nacelle]

The "snap to base" thing is too sensitive. It is really difficult to select hostiles or player ships as they travel near a station, even with a selection device as precise as a PC mouse.

Clicking the arrows to traverse the stack is tiresome and difficult to do on smaller devices like the iPad mini or a phone. Often times, it's more time efficient just to wait until the object being selected is beyond the stations.

[lusty patio]

Game connectivity issues

[chrome thorn]

Kill the borg arc and the mega cube. Just delete it and add the cardasians. No one will miss it.

[potent hedge]

This sh*t has been happening all day for many of us on my server. Ugh.

[frozen hemlock]

impossible to log in problem?

[exotic cloak]

When you gonna fix this 🙈😂

[hollow pike]

Ooh, sexy little black number

[pliant heath]

Hello I have written a support form stating that my alliance have been ceased by a member and is refusing to give me my alliance back, I have been messaging the player and he’s not replying so he’s clearly inactive, any help would do, my alliances name is Kelvin Timeline

[rotund finch]

Really another hostile hunt! Give us more or at least give us a faction hunt or something!

[tribal bane]

[slate crown]

if you giving to players the third day of hostile hunt, can you at least change rewards? how i should collect crystals or gas if we get only an ore in rewards? i dont need ore.

[cyan tendon]

Second day in row with only 1 event. WTF? Are you trying to bore us to death?

[stuck delta]

I always need Ore but I agree, I'm a bit bored

[magic sluice]

Run crucible or apex to fill the void

Not like you need to create anything new , just turn it on

[kindred raven]

Me to Scopely with the "events" this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCBE1MPmcnI

[elder pollen]

Anyone else get non-premium refines after buying the Prime Latinum Refining [edit: Prime Borg Rewards]? A teammate had that happen (no lucrative warp token, just a Borg warp token and some ship xp) after it working properly for months. Scopely has supposedly passed the issue on to the dev team (but customer service is refusing to offer compensation, of course). It hasn’t happened to me (yet?), but I’m wondering if I should still be recommending the pack to others

[prisma helm]

Prime latinum refining doesn't change the Borg latinum antique payout. It improves the latinum refinery, IE raw latinum to latinum. Get you more lat for each refine.

Prime Borg rewards improves the payout of the lat antique, but it's still based on chance. So it's still possible to not get transwarp tokens. However, that prime does guarantee improved rewards from the rest of the Borg refinery (like faction creds and rep)

[versed flame]

You have GOT to improve the mycelium mining process. Either remove the cap on refining to make the investment worth it. Or give us massively bigger nodes with mining officers to make mining less of a burden. This is supposed to be a mobile game. Not a lifestyle.

[elder pollen]

I referenced the wrong prime, you’re right. The bug remains true

[prisma helm]

It's not a bug. The lat antique gives a chance at better rewards, not a guarantee.

The other Borg refinery options guarantee better rewards.

[elder pollen]

“better outcomes for the Latinum Antique Refinery” … I’d consider same outcome as before as not “better”

[prisma helm]

Over time it will be better. You'll get more out of it with the prime than without. But that doesn't mean every single refine will be better. Look at it over 10 or 20 refines, not 1 or 2. I've had significantly better rewards than same level alliance members without prime most of the time. I still get the occasional pull of ship XP and a transwarp cell. But I also got lucrative cells in 8 of the last 10 refines.

[elder pollen]

I’ve been batting 1000 over the past few months. My teammate is now 2 for 3. I note that Scopely admitted that sounded like a bug and they referred it to the developers

[thick linden]

Knowing where to go for quests even with that spreadsheet is almost impossible. Honestly between that and the quest chain power jumps/warp increase requirements it’s making me want to quit the game. Not to mention the constant crashes and graphical bugs.

[glad cradle]

I have refined the “bug” maybe 20 times in 3 years; I’ve only received maybe 3 epic lat cells. That’s way lower than batting a 1000.

[cosmic mist]

hi! is possible to delete my account from your database? I have deleted the game from my phone and I'm not interested in the game anymore.

[safe condor]

Contact customer support for this

[sonic ivy]

I've been seeing random hostiles all over. Here is one example.

Not hostiles.

I've also been attacked by hostiles while mining. After hours of mining I have been attacked randomly. Also, while in Independent space I've seen random "Attack Incoming" messages but there are no hostiles in the system.

[blazing monolith]

Just Scopely, doing Scopely things

[spark finch]

is it just me or is MoWhiskey referring to other player ships as 'hostiles', and yes they are hostile just not npc hostiles

[arctic briar]

Scopely nobody likes you...I'm just saying. There was a time when the pack you purchased would be allowed to run out even into the next month. Nice since WE PURCHASE IT WITH OUR MONEY. Now, it seems, that this is BROKEN. It may seem inconsequential to you but you really need to FIX THIS! I had put this complaint online thinking it was a good place even though it was not seen by anyone but me and whomever would read it. Well it seems that Someone read it and now 2 OF THE MONTHS THAT YOU OWE ME TOKENS ARE GONE FROM MY MATERIAL LIST. Now that was a nice trick. My bad for not taking a screen shot....BUT I HAVE ONE NOW. You still owe me for May 100 or 10 days, and for February 120 or 12 days. I GUESS APRIL AND AUGUST I AM JUST OUT OF LUCK RIGHT. Now please do what's right and fix this. Fix this problem so that everyone can use what they purchased no matter how long it takes. Please give me my stuff back.

[crude sandal]

So, you bought it and didn't claim them in the 60 days that it was active for?

On the plus side, you may be able to claim them next year....

[warm citrus]

My upgrade for enterprise hull plating is 4,070 uncommon gas. This is the best deal in the store. I would have to buy 6 of these packs for a SINGLE upgrade. $600 for a single upgrade to one ship. That's almost 2 car payments for most of America. The other option is refining (with double rewards purchased) of about 30 per day. So I'll have it for free in 136 days if I don't spend it on everything else that requires uncommon gas. You want to sell packs, think about your requirements for upgrades and how viable that price point is for A SINGLE UPGRADE (not a Tier .. an UPGRADE). Don't even get me started on parsteel requirements.

And please .... stop screwing around with the icons. Pick a set and stick with it. It's one thing to make them more high def, but your devs are confusing the **** out of people when we're constantly seeing changes that look nothing like the original we've seen for over a year.

[warm citrus]

As long as you're looking at your store. Stop the false advertising. If you say "Unlock Elite" then it should be a full unlock. Not "Buy 3 to Unlock". It's easier to tell when we see this nonsense with BPS. Not so easy when it's research where you don't even show how many RSS it takes to unlock things. I bought your "Elite Summoning Unlock" and didn't find out until I was half way upgraded that it wasn't enough. Your help desk said they'd undo the purchase... just give back the RSS. How do I do that when I spent it trying to get what you advertised the pack would do? Bait and switch nonsense. You want sales? You want our cash? Be honest. And BTW, I've got an "Elite Bridge Unlock" to sell you.

[solar summit]

That says it includes 27 of the 80 bps needed to build it…

[warm citrus]

@solar summit then it's not really unlocking anything. It should read 1/3 unlock. But like I said, I can see that before buying it. BUT we can't see that on research packs that require an unknown amount of RSS to unlock given your level of research and such. They just expect us to keep buying packs until we have enough? That should be known BEFORE we start spending $100 per pack. I've stopped buying blind... in fact buying at all outside of the battlepass. We just can't trust that what we're buying is actually going to work OR it's so expensive as to not be worth that kind of money. Either way, they can't be doing well on the sales of junk like this.

[crude sandal]

It does tell you what's in the pack... Buying blind, without looking at the contents? That's totally not a scopely issue...

[solar summit]

I believe the pack you’re referring to does include the rss for that ONE research. But if you had not done the researches needed to unlock it then no it wouldnt. It does say what it requires in research screen though

[crude sandal]

Sarco was definitely a flop for sales, even some of the regular whales when it came out went "nah"

[warm citrus]

@crude sandal how would that work with the summoning? How many spore drive components does it take for someone to unlock it? Well, just buy the first "elite unlock" and when you run out just keep buying more until it finally completes?

[crude sandal]

Sorry, if you're buying something expecting it to cover all the prerequisites, that's on you. You don't expect to buy a ship pack and have it include everything for ops, academy, rnd and shipyard for that level....

[solar summit]

It also does not include the rss needed for the ops 1-30 research’s that needed to ve done as well… what exactly were you expecting here?

[warm citrus]

I expect that if it says "elite unlock" that they just flip the switch and unlock it. If there's a prerequisite for ops like you say, don't make it available in the store until those prerequisites are met.

[crude sandal]

That's like buying a prime unlock, using the resources on something else and wondering why you can't still do the prime the pack was for in the first place?

If you made it to ops thirty without realising this, scopely apparently already sold you the bridge...

[warm citrus]

Primes should always be no RSS needed. Buy the pack and it's unlocked. If they want to have the option to unlock it with RSS in the future, then open that up at what ever level they could actually get those RSS through refining or grinding.

[crude sandal]

But then you'd miss out on the spares from efficiency research...

[warm citrus]

Then sell "Full Unlock" plus rss to sweeten the deal.

[modest condor]

Scopely, where is increasing the payout from G4 armada chests on the roadmap? The current payout is ridiculously low and not worth it compared to G3 chests, but are 10x more expensive. The rewards need to be much greater. If i can get 100 3* uncommon in a G3 epic chest I should easily be able to get 1000 4* uncommon in a G4 epic chest and arguably much more

[jaunty turtle]

Fix the brackets

[glad cradle]

They won’t

[weak mountain]

Can you ask for better

Don't feel bad was 2 blue print from sarcoficous and moved to diff server Los t it

[timber folio]

please stop calling it a ceasefire. please. ask an English speaker which word to use.

[tepid robin]

I laughed at the sarcophagus elite unlock, it's certainly not an unlock. Indeed, it's not worth it at all. You can get the bps free, it's slow but I managed it . Darn thing has never been used

[glad cradle]

It’s only use is during a territory takeover; put it on a capture node.

[dire coral]

It is THE worst ship in the game. It was introduced as a counter against the high ops players with bigger ships. But those players have a sarco as well and it is way better than yours. And you don’t have any chance at all. I think mine is still only lvl 5 and I got it with the bp back in the day.

[glossy quest]

Clear localisation and restart and they will return to normal.

[polar basin]

Agreed, but useful for sub L42 on servers with lots of territory battles - i would say

[sharp relic]

In The Mission 'Broken Chains', after defeating 10 ships in the pay of an Orion slaver in Lycia, we have to capture the boss slaver, who has threatened to destroy us. Where is he, in Lycia? No, he is in Cita Laga, 4 systems away, which is how many light years distant 20, 30 ,40? Such a distance is illogical in the story plot.

[mint sedge]

I think the support team should read more carefully the messages, we players, send them. This conversation here proves they do not.

[past remnant]

I just wish they would let peace shields stack!

[toxic anvil]

Scopely, stop trolling your player with ridiculous mission, all step done in warp 110 system and last step is

[whole nexus]

God, that pisses me off when they do that.

[toxic anvil]

I love starting a new mission that i will maybe finish in 2 years

[silk olive]

Why isn't cloaking available for the Hijacked D3. An Augment Cree would have made sure that Tech was working!!

[grizzled tartan]

@toxic anvil you shouldn't crop out the 'recommend' level

[toxic anvil]

no recommended level

[quartz siren]

Butters hitting for no reason

[dire coral]

Having a very bad crew is definitely not the right reason to hit somebody but it might be the reason for him. Whatever you are doing the crew just needs to change.

[north hatch]

Why are you breaking cannon! Federation dont cloak! (albeit one ship ever in the cannon the Defiant) What you should have done is had a Federation ship(s) have the ability to detect cloak, which is seen in many episodes where in TNG they could detect cloaked ships, this could have been a refit option and been cannon...

[prisma helm]

Breaking canon in a game where half a galaxy of "independents" are flying round in replica Enterprises?

Canon left the building a long time ago

[brazen prism]

Scopley well 4 star ships cloaking - 26/28 ships from romulan and klingon ships. But not 32/34 ships :(

[charred ravine]

Enterprise cloaking?! come on, whats next a rebel death star?

[simple patio]

So are we just never going to see a new common or uncommon officer again?

[brazen prism]

Enterprise cloaking is, yikes.. enterprise have anti cloaking technology to detect cloaked romulan and klingon ships

Federation is not allowed to use cloaking technology

[loud stag]

Give us vidar cloaking instead of enterprise

[visual oar]

Y’all keep forgetting this is a kelvin timeline game. Prime time canon does not exist here.

[north hatch]

Well this game is no normal timeline as we now had TOS and now TNG ...

Although we don;t know if the Kelvin Timeline would have had Fed cloaking, no other time line has fed cloak

[limber crystal]

If you want us to fight in TC make it playable first. Allow only contestors to enter the system.

[prisma helm]

It's a completely new timeline. It started as Kelvin but has now morphed into a big mix of everything. Usual rules do not apply anymore.

[warm vapor]

Moving T3 areas in territory...really?

"You know that territory area you fought hard for and defend week in week out?"

Yeah

"We improved its rewards!"

Awesome! Thank you!

"And we moved it and gave it to your tc opposition...enjoy!"

[prisma helm]

The whole idea of Territory was to encourage fighting for territories and moving between them. This wasn't happening because people are happy to sit on their zones. So they're pushing alliances to move. Conflict leads to cash for scopley. It's exactly what they want.

[simple patio]

Services rotating were part of the initial pitch

That is why you can see what services will be available in the next week in the territory screen

[warm vapor]

But that didn't happen.

If they keep them rotating that's fine, but to suddenly change the board is a bit crappy, especially if they will drop another change whenever they feel like it.

[brazen prism]

The new update of TC will not change the problems that are there now. It will increase it more. On my server there are 2 very large guilds that have get the best zones in TC since the beginning, PVP boost, more dmg and base defend. It is impossible for other guilds to win from the two guilds. Extremely strong without the TC buffs. With the buffs, they are unbeatable. Only solution, is that each TC zone can be in guild for a maximum of 2 weeks with cooldown of 1 month.

[prisma helm]

I don't dispute it won't fix the problems
But do Scopley want to fix the problems? Conflict is cash for them. People spend to get an advantage in conflict. More conflict = more money.
My server has exactly the same issues as yours, btw.

[brazen prism]

I'm really not in a small guild. Enough guild mates of 35/39 level with 32/34 ships, bu tmy guild have zero chance. When you have some TC buffs, you become unbeatable as a guild, Scopley has to do something about that. Make TC fun PvP open combat with tactics, team up with your guild mates and plan your attacks well. Now it has become P2 Valhalla

[eager hull]

I don’t really care about Star Trek canon. I care more about how this game steers everyone towards being on the Federation side of things. The game was originally pitched as choose your side and fight. Except now everyone can be on all sides. And to make matters worse, Scopely has added almost unfair advantages to Federation ships and officers. Want to be a complete lower level pain in the butt? Max up a few fed officers and a Saladin. Oh wait, that’s not good enough? Let’s take those same officers and put them on a G3 Enterprise. You know the one if you crew it like you have half a brain you essentially get 4 bridge Officers because of its ship ability. The cloaking of the Romulan and Klingon ships helped balance the game out in my opinion. Now we are just gonna have cloaked over powered Enterprises. Thanks a lot scopely. Pick any four letter swear word you want and it fits the bill with you guys

[weak grove]

Scopely, if you want to spin a complete month around cloaking, make it free to play for all players. and i mean cloaking for the rare and epic 3* ships. when i read the update notices, i almost lost the will to play this month at all.

[nova sierra]

Im guessing Q&A sessions left with Panic

[median eagle]

Can someone please tell me how, for all their efforts at making Territory Capture a bigger part of the game, no-one in Scopely seems to have realised that running the take-overs in the middle of the working day is the biggest limit on those taking part?

[sudden girder]

The TNG episode ‘The Pegasus’ featured a federation developed phased cloaking device which was installed on the Enterprise. It’s definitely canon that such a thing existed.

[last jacinth]

Scopely, quit adding stuff to the Daily milestones without adding a seventh tier to the milestones, with significantly better rewards for said seventh tier. As of now, most 35+ can sneeze at reset and be done with dailies. Hell, the swarms are half of them, and they can be finished with one swarmada.

[elfin walrus]

Why do you require 3 daily kills while cloaked costing 75 tetrons total but only getting 65 tetrons each day ?

[pine hare]

The patch is complete shit.
The lion's share is devoted to the cloaking device.
Which you first need to buy.

WHERE ARE CREW PRESETS?!

[feral spruce]

Is it a Scopely internal competition to come up with the worst ideas and then implement them with the most bugs possible so that the game stops working?
Scopely, your marketing department needs to speak to your development department because quite frankly, this is getting awful... Player satisfaction is dropping fast

[slender ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/gaming-lag-gif-9278577

My TC feedback ... fix lag first!

[onyx canyon]

We need more ent skins 😂

[green pumice]

Right away the new daily of 3x cloaked hits will not be achievable continuously since each cloak costs 30 Tetryons and only 55 are given out daily

-35 deficit daily

[coarse scaffold]

Six is still called Six of Ten for the Transporter Patterns.

[unborn ether]

65 are given or does it depend on level? but still a deficit!

[green pumice]

At 31, it’s 55

[half ginkgo]

Scopely, thank you for the new features, officers, systems, missions, and, what is sure to be, a great new storyline.
@fringe tiger <@&509691611903426561> Please share my above appreciation and for the support and great works with Scopely.

[wary fjord]

So my epic armada bugged last night (said I was in the circle then cancelled when the timer ran out) - Scopely support said that they had refunded the 500x epic directives, but I can't find them anywhere - is there anywhere specific I'm supposed to be looking for them?

[worthy pagoda]

Not sure about every server but server 16 this update doesn’t help anyone but the crappy whale alliance that controls it. Territories should be locked during takeovers and the only ones who can enter during that time are the alliances tbat own it or the alliances that pay admission fee.

[rare coral]

Enterprises with cloaking? Really?.... 💩

[analog sun]

Scopely should have not given cloaking to the Feds, takes aways a huge advantage the other 2 factions finally had. Way to keep buffing the Feds and taking the fun away.

[sage ravine]

Extended zoom was removed? WTF?

[vague whale]

I’m pissed about cloaking for the enterprise

Had I known THAT was coming I’d of spend the money for my enterprise and not my auger. But I was under the pretense that federation ships should NOT get cloaking save for the Defiant.

https://tenor.com/view/pakistan-cricket-fan-pakistan-fan-cricket-angry-fan-angry-fan-angry-man-gif-19825067

[summer obsidian]

Really frustrating. Worked great on my device. Is Scopely selling phones?

[mild kestrel]

Extended zoom was disabled on certain mobile devices where it had been incorrectly enabled, is my reading of that.

[mild kestrel]

I'm amazed you could make out anything at all in extended zoom on a phone.

As for this second repair queue ...
Look, it's already been established that ships are repaired at the docking pylon, by their own crews. So what on earth is the justification for NOT being able to repair as many ships at a time as you have docking pylons? (...Besides "get more money out of players"?)

(And stop calling them drydocks, Scopely. In space ALL docks are dry, and it's a misuse of the term in the first place anyway.)

[summer obsidian]

No problem identifying things. Was way easier to see what was headed towards your ships. More time to react. Now feels like a disadvantage to not have the option

[tepid valve]

Hey Scopely, how about de-cloaking the Schedule of Events for the Arc as soon as the server maintenance is over instead of making us wait until after the new Arc Events have already started

[rich elm]

Please stop trying to force people to PvP. It is not rewarding at all, except the raiding bases for RSS. And fix your imbalances. You keep hiding bullying from higher levels towards the lower ones as PvP, which in fact is not. A level 50+ levelling out anyone in a system is not PvP, its just showing off the wallet size. I (and others on my server) have not been able to participate in events for the past several days because some high level players decided they wont let us do anything under the guise of PvP. You guys need to keep that in check, it is ruining the game experience for all lower levels that are just trying to grow. Add incentives to fight against ship your own power or players your own level, and penalties against constantly hitting lower players.

[glad cradle]

I couldn't have said it better myself. Fortunately though, my server's whales don't prevent lower players from completing events. They bully them in other ways.

[thick silo]

Why do some people have battle-pass already and others don't?

[tribal bane]

You know what we asked for from TC?!!! More territory, limit alliances from ganging up, and level the playing field from Whale alliances….. none of which you listened to

[lethal bluff]

Why so little in this pack?

Compared with:

<@&509691205798592532>

[unique glen]

Because there are primes and there are primes 😬

Would be my guess anyway fwiw

[opal garnet]

where is that cloaking research token used? Under Galaxy there is only stealth technology and later of which this token doesn't apply

[lethal bluff]

Or they just out to rob people whilst the pack is new?

[unique glen]

There are those players who will consider it worthwhile 🤷‍♀️

[tawny prawn]

My daily reputation events are not registering my points

[summer fiber]

The elite repair pack. $20? For 2k lat and what I am supposed to assume is only one second repair token? And that's it? That's less than second research. It went from $5 with appropriate amount, to $20 for a lit, to $20 for... A wrench, a paperclip, and some lint.

[sage ravine]

$20 would be cheap for a Snap-On wrench......

[summer fiber]

Yes. I know. You're arguing semantics.

[stone solstice]

Yeah. Seems shockingly expensive for something that seems almost unnecessary. Like, second research is great. Second builder is useful. But this? Do we actually even need this? Why make it so expensive?

[sage ravine]

I'm not in agreement with Scopely on the price here..... The research and building slots were no-brainers to me. I might have dropped $5 for the second repair slot, but even then, the return in the long run is still really bad..... Almost all my repairs are done with speedups, I'm not going to let a dock sit idle repairing if I can avoid it.....

[summer fiber]

I gotcha

[stone solstice]

Yeah exactly. If I were suspicious, I'd say it's $20 to make your eyes wander over to the $100 version

[sage ravine]

Neither are worth it imo.....

[summer fiber]

For low players like me, I have a lot, but I don't like blowing them because I can run out easy. And only 3 docks makes it valuable. Just not $20 and nothing else valuable. 2k lat is worth the penny in my pocket.

Geeze autocorrect.

[stone solstice]

Aww I was gonna joke about it 😆

[sage ravine]

What ops are you? And are you currently running dual factions?

[summer fiber]

26. Yeah I've been dual faction for the last two, two and a half years.

[sage ravine]

And you're at risk of running out of speedups? How?

I don't recall ever having issues if I completed my dailies at that level.....

[summer fiber]

I don't complete all dailies. I get the faction mining, combat, and chest ones done to get the milestone chests, and that's it.

[sage ravine]

I know I took my time with the factions to keep my faction rating low enough so I could complete both relatively easily. I was dual factioned with fed and klingon, so I was consistently making a single run vs fed, and a single run vs klingon every day to stop both factions from climbing. Those speedups from the faction dailies helped a lot, and loot chests gave me enough ship parts where I wasn't spending too much lat when upgrading my ships.....

and the swarm dailies give a chunk of speedups too. Not a lot, but it definitely helped.

[pure nebula]

I got it because I do dailies right after reset. Now I can let both repair without speedups. Also giving my alliance more help opportunities

49k 30min speedups... Not like I need too

[sage ravine]

this is exactly why I think a second repair slot is useless. I don't have that many 30min speedups, but I'm not afraid of running out any time soon..... And, if I did for whatever reason, I still have thousands of the lower denomination speedups too.....

[kindred sphinx]

Get rid of the new god-awful away teams mission completion graphics. Takes me twice as long to go through all my away teams acceptance. Enough lag times in the game as it is.

[pure nebula]

I am afk after I'm done.. 10hours on my Frankie a and 3 on my val. So y bother if I don't have to.. and I save my bigger speedups for pvp

$20.. also useful for PvP..

[summer fiber]

When you get hit b/c of meridian and NS and have a warship in repair quite a bit, you can go through speedups fast. However, it's more convenience. I'm really saving speedups for later levels when ships take even longer to repair. I sat at 14 for 2 years after launch for the same reason with res and officers. Get as much as I can so I'm not lacking later.

[sage ravine]

I think you're holding yourself back too much..... I started playing in January, and I'm ops 34 right now. I've bought a few battle passes, the 2nd builder, 2nd researcher, and the north star. That's it. The rewards get significantly better at higher ops levels, and while you do get screwed in leaderboard events by "rushing", the increase in dailies, milestone events, and the battlepasses more than make up for that imo. I know that I sat at 14 for 2 weeks without building anything as I ran out of things to build, and in hindsight, I really wish I had just jumped the gun and went to ops 15 at that point. Sitting there for 2 weeks was a waste of 2 weeks imo.....

[summer fiber]

They do get better at higher levels. But patience has helped me avoid lacking res and mats. I only reached 25 at the start of TNG, so I have several ships to level and upgrade. At launch this game was much like another online game I play, and my server was super hostile back then.

I'm also not in a hurry. 😊

The only thing slowing me down right now is timing my claiming of research and building upgrades and upgrading ships with events.

[sage ravine]

I get that. I'm not in a hurry either. I'm just trying to be efficient with what I get from the game. I could probably be at 35 or higher right now, but it would have come at the expense of my research, and I want to make sure that stays competitive too. I've seen many players who have reached too high in ops and struggle with underpowered ships and research..... Right now my bortas is a little weaker than I'd like it to be, but I've got the mats needed to upgrade it. I'm just waiting for an event to come around to spend it at the same time.

[summer fiber]

1,000% agreed.

[sage ravine]

For me, the build slot and research slots were no brainers. Right now i just need to complete a single building for the daily building reward, and a single research for the research award. And the power increase is basically a given, as either a single building or research will give me the power increase I need to complete the daily too, and those dailies give a good chunk of speedups as rewards every day. Almost all of my researches and buildings right now are 2+ days in length, so I try to stagger them so I can complete one each day for the dailies, while using the fewest amount of speedups possible. I also speed it up during a building or research daily event if one shows up, to really get the most out of it when possible. If I didn't have the 2nd slots, I'd be using more speedups, so I wouldn't be able to stockpile speedups as quickly, but I would still be completing one a day of each. If/when I run out of speedups, I use Lat, as those speedups are way too good to pass up on a consistent basis. Those speedups really help in building/research/domination style events though, and by not using as much lat on speeding up buildings and research, I can spend more lat to get more Chen shards, as Chen shards are an absolute nightmare to source. All these little things add up.

I haven't really "rushed", so much as most of the time all I do, and all I have done for months now, is a single building and single research each day. When an event shows up I rush through what I need to for that event, and that's it.

This repair slot, however, does not add anywhere near the utility or usefulness that the builder and research slots added imo. In comparison, it's not even close.

[pure nebula]

Ur opinion, ur coin

[summer fiber]

Second repair is definitely a convenience. Which is why the price of $20 for that is rather steep.

[thick silo]

why is main bp award always Ore, why did they stop rotating it!

[narrow dagger]

So is anyone maining fed rep totally fokked on all these new events

Cause I feel fokked

I can't do jack

[whole nexus]

Devs are apparently COMPLETELY tone-deaf.

Apparently having completely missed what station defense actually is!

[stone solstice]

Why would you need to select your own station during defense?

I might just be having a dense moment

[lyric zealot]

I believe that improvement is meant to fix an exploit that attackers were using by parking too close your base making it difficult to select your base.

[whole nexus]

Wouldn't that just make it harder?

[lyric zealot]

For the defender, yes, especially if his mate was getting raided.

[stone solstice]

I still feel like suppressing clicking the allied station is helpful. I can see this as an issue if it makes it harder to hit the base you're raiding. But if you're defending, you want to select the ships, not bases, right? So this would be helpful in that case

[lyric zealot]

If this is what I am think it is, it’s a good fix.

[whole nexus]

Mmhmm. But this is only your own base. Which im not sure how fast you need to select that the arrows weren't good enough.

[lyric zealot]

There was definitely something buggy going on when they parked in close like that. It wasn’t working properly.

And some were definitely doing it on purpose.

It wasn’t a coincidence.

[whole nexus]

I see. Well, here's to hoping it's actually fixed. Because the description says it makes selecting your station a lower priority, not higher.

Or were the ships unselectable?

[stone solstice]

Got it. I follow now. Yeah, not surpressing allied bases still has the issue. I think this is helpful still, because you don't need to click your own. But doesn't solve the issue with an allies base.

[lyric zealot]

I think something broke when they made opponents’ bases the default click work properly.

[stone solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/whack-a-mole-cute-cat-funny-gif-14926253

[lyric zealot]

Cause I was having problems defending.

[bronze axle]

Well looks like all the problems with territory were ignored and y’all just threw some random changes into the mix.

[gloomy depot]

Total bs never solved anything made it easyer for the Wales that control ts now they have even more advantages slow clap scopley

Just gloss over the toxic bullying

Just fing make the fights fair how hard is it to make it so only the Alliances that pay in to join can see system

Instead of 8 plus forcing anyone who dosent obey then out

[ripe maple]

It took the devs a while but they finally found a way to make free dailies P2W. Good job Scopley. New stealth daily; kill 3 ships while cloaked- costs 75x tetryons. Daily allotment of tetryons is 65. The only way to complete this “daily” daily is to spend money for additional tetryons.

[thick silo]

cost even more than that at higher ops, as you got kill mobs the same level as your ops, in my case 39, so i need use least a Cent, and Cent need 30 to cloak, so thats 90 a day.

[rich elm]

I think Scopely just put in this channel for peopl to vent, i doubt anyone there reads this

[grave quest]

And about the cloak… you enter an enemy system e.g. romulan system, and cloak. The enemy hostile can still track you and you’re movements. Where is the logic there?

[thick silo]

patch notes claimed they fixed that

[grave quest]

Then I call BS because it is still happening

As in ten minutes ago

[rich elm]

Did you purchase the Cloak Fix Pack ?

[ripe maple]

With PMC I had no problem@killing 39’s with my D3 which is only T6

[rich elm]

He's not talking about killing the mobs, but the cost of cloaking before each kill so he can kill the 3 - cloaking is removed once in combat

I didnt have rom ships, is centurion a tier higher than the d3 ?

[pure nebula]

what good is this system cluster? Seems to me that this could be somehow ‘gambled’ out where a single alliance can not hold it for more than a week or something along those lines. exclude alliances holding other territories. Otherwise it is really a waste of space.

[brazen heart]

So.. where’s the mission? Not in my faction store right now.
P.S. Augur cloaking shards aren’t there either, only Centurion showed up.
Federation & Romulan both at Celebrated faction level currently.

[pearl vine]

Why do the enterprise have cloaking?

[pure nebula]

be nice to see Feds punished for a change, since the 3* epic ent has an unfair advantage over the other 3* epics

[rich elm]

cause noone cares about the prime directive in this game

[brazen heart]

Thou shall not kill my miner

[rich elm]

you only have 33% chance of knowing it was me

[pure nebula]

I got the mission token in the gifts tab and claimed it in the event store tab

[thick silo]

Yea i very annoyed by Ent getting cloak, the most OP ship of its tier, they finally balance it a bit by giving Kling/Rom cloak.

Then they strip that balance by giving Ent Cloak which goes against everything Federation stands for, and never been part of Star Trek.
Also Cloak isn't something you just add as a feature to a ship, not device it built into core design or the ship, so the Ent could never cloak.

They was only 1 Fed ship that could cloak and it was specially designed for a very specific role, and its design is not even close to a Ent

[brazen heart]

Thank you!

[pearl vine]

Now the developers is making the game to what they want instead of what was reality in the tv series. Might as well call the game fleet command.

[whole nexus]

Territory tutorial. Annoyingly, i don't think it can even be challenged.

[whole nexus]

Unless you're the Defiant.

[thick silo]

it cant be challenged it requires a special currency that don't exist

[thick silo]

Defiant is the ONE ship i was refering too, designed for it, I would not of been opposed to a defiant being added

[whole nexus]

Ah. I thought you meant the Pegasus. And are you sure about defiant being designed for it?

[pure nebula]

I think the defiant and that klingon battlecruiser that worf commanded, both in the alt DS9 universe could be a triplet to put as a companion to the ISS jelly

[whole nexus]

The Negh'Var?

[graceful lotus]

I'd have loved Defiant added. Tbh I thought that WOULD be the Fed eqiv to cloaking

Negh'Var was a beast battleship of Reagent Worf

[pure nebula]

also the shipped that chased Janeway in her shuttle in ‘End Game’

[whole nexus]

But slightly different from the one from I think All Good Things...

[pure nebula]

in keeping with the ‘lower’ 4* ships, it seems the defiant would be the intereptor and the Negh’Var would be the battleship.

[lone siren]

cloaking for Enterprise is kinda crossing a red line , so hopefully there will be enough pressure from the community

[brazen heart]

So it’s all good and fair that Klingon and Romulan ships can cloak but Federation cant? All the time and money we’ve spent on Federation ships, but crosses a red line if Federation gets cloaking?

[lone siren]

that's how it usually works in the Star Trek Universe...Federation ships (usually) don't have cloaking...that's my red line, your aspect from balancing and gaming site is another topic in my opinion (just one example...giving fed ships a special scanner that gives a buff when a cloaked ship is found, ....)

[pure nebula]

The 3*ent already has a built in advantage. Shield Regen… like a 4th officer on the bridge… TBH, Fed ships have always held an advantage over the others of equal grade. Sooooo yeah, not happy about Ent getting a cloak. Besides, there is new research to help nullify the cloak advantage across teh board

[brazen heart]

4th Officer on bridge?

[whole nexus]

That ship ability is very strong. Others... Not so much.

[steel sierra]

What are the missions fornthe enterprise cloak

[frosty sluice]

So you bring out an officers prime, which is just a rehash of the existing one...? That's pure laziness and I expect because you messed up and gave the original one away for free by accident during that arc the one time....
But still it's the same thing with a different name on it...

[blazing monolith]

Visa Mastercard

[pure nebula]

the shield regen capabiltiy of the ent is like an extra officer

[pure nebula]

sigh.. more gas.. they need to get the gas needs under control.. too many things require gas.. I was buying explorer packs along with base packs to upgrade my guns

If you are rom faction going from 39, you are really hurting.. iss jelly, valdore plus the gas needs surrounding the research building

[frosty sluice]

@pure nebula yep lvl 41 atm pushing to T6 Jelly, almost got Valdore which will need tons plus all the base upgrades needing gas for 42 ops, ridiculous, the new research is G5 gas tho not G4 mind, so either top end players can work at it for free still taking ages and not doing their new G5 ships, or ya have to buy it

My point was it is just a money grab because the officer bonus is decent yet its the exact same prime that already existed, they could of just done a lvl 2 of prime officers for the same G5 ore req

[pure nebula]

to be fair, I maxed my ent after I moved up past 40… same with moving past 50 if your coining

[formal mauve]

So does this stack???

[frosty sluice]

I doubt it lol

But I don't know either way, but I doubt it it is scopely...

[sudden girder]

Go watch The Pegasus episode. The TNG crew literally take a cloaking device and install it on the Enterprise.

[earnest granite]

Of course it stacks. But like all it is on base value

[vague whale]

Can someone please explain to me how to use the second repair token!

[blazing monolith]

The fact that you said the paid cloaks would eventually be in faction stores... but then, all you add to the faction stores is the Ops 26 ship cloaks and under... what a slimey, sleazy, underhanded, trixy, krudmuffin slinger of a move!!! Who's still using a centurion??
Your shady pay-pushing practices are very transparent and are driving players from your game. I'm debating leaving, myself. Seems you're just going to keep moving the finish line, and putting up pay walls. Hard pass...

[blazing monolith]

..... and how did that episode end?

[nova sierra]

They added 28 AND 28. And calm down dude. If you get this worked up over a game (made by a company that needs to turn a profit like any other), perhaps it’s indeed healthier for you if you do leave.

[nova sierra]

good question... I tried with: restarting the game - emptying the cache - reinstalling it anew (had to suffer through the whole bloody tutorial before being able to do a login)... Now I'm waiting for support...

[crude sandal]

Thank you for making the "Kill hostiles of X level" in the latest mission chains equal to the lowest level in the system you get the task(s), made them much nicer to chew through this time round!

[neon trail]

Feedback: your support team policies suck. Your team poorly explain things and automatically close tickets after they give a single reply - not allowing follow up questions or discourse. If you reply back after they’ve done this they inform you that if you message them again they’ll close the ticket. Real professional. Great job.

[lethal knoll]

please can you let us disable the stupid music on game launch.

[wise notch]

It was mentioned before, but yeah, the discrepancy of the free tetryons and the amount needed to complete the daylies is not good. unless you want each and everyone of us to go into cheat mode, build a Tier 1, Lvl 1 ship you got a cloak for and arranged with a gaming buddy of required level to set out a Realta for 3 daily kills at minimum tetryon cost....
Kinda sucks, but well, if you don't provide an adequate amount of tetryons to use, guess that's what we'll have to resort to.

[crude sandal]

Still not enough daily to do it... that costs 75 particles, and at 41 at least, I'm only getting 65 per day 😂

Maybe with the efficiency research, though, right? 😂

[wise gorge]

Can we get some clarification as to whats actually happening with the territory changes please, so far its as clear as mud
ta

[glossy quest]

You have overestimated the value of the second research queue (like you did the second researcher)

Make them £5 (like the second builder) and I'd probably buy them. Keep inflating prices and get nothing.

[tribal bane]

Just because you say you fixed something doesn’t make it true…. How about testing across all platforms. SMH 🤦‍♀️ missing lighting effects have not been corrected

[wise notch]

@crude sandal I was told by my guild mates that the amount of tetryons needed to cloak depends on the tier of your warp engine. So a tier 1 lvl 1 D3 would not use the same 25 tetryons a t9 lvl 45 needs. Didn't test it yet, since I didn't fancy to build a second D3 or second Centurion just for that...

[crude sandal]

They fibbed, unless it changed

Max D3 was 25

Up til last week when mine went in the wood chipper

Tier increases duration

It got up to 5minutes on the d3

[tribal bane]

Also please adjust the epic chest cool down!! Or add 5 chests. I and most folks I know have over a years worth of loot for double chests before we would need to do an epic armada!

[dire coral]

It is the same with the biotics. You don’t get enough to do double pulls every time. Not saying it is right or wrong but at least it is consistent with other mechanics.

[nova sierra]

What’s the answer

Hello

[dire coral]

1

[nova sierra]

Is it not 2

[inner remnant]

Not sure if this right place or if it’s right for me to to ask this player

[sturdy echo]

Thischas got to stop. He’s been at this now for three days. Starting to cost me tome and real money. Scopley do something

[lyric grotto]

do something about what? you're 5 levels higher than him

hit him back

lol

[sturdy echo]

We do when we catch. But he doesn’t mine. And moved after we clear out his station which doesn’t have much. He’s running on his wallet right now

[paper kindle]

Its fine by the rules of the game. Your server may have rules but TOS has basically none

[unborn beacon]

I hope they fix the standard time issue

Resetting dailies still at 11

[wise notch]

That however is not the doing of the daylies but the choices you have after getting the rewards for the daylies, namely what you do refine from the rewards gotten through the daylies.
If Scopely had employed the same mechanics, aka doing the cloak daylies is possible but the actual rewards, the amount of tachyons, depeneded on your decissions I wouldn't complain.
Daylies in my eyes should be a list of tasks that can be cleared without RL money involved. Only your efforts and skill should matter there.
If you choose e.g. to not build certain ships that are required for the tasks, but those ships are obtainable FTP, all is fine in my books. But e.g. creating a P2P-only ship and then requiring that ship to do daily tasks would not be ok.

[chrome elk]

Come on Scopely, this is shocking... Ops 43, G4 double armada chest for 400k armada credits... disgusting to be honest.

[dire coral]

I disagree but that is ok. I think the biotics mechanic should be added 10 more so you can do 2 each day. It is supposed to improve the economy but i have to choose which part is improved. The costs are still the same.

[wise notch]

would it be possible to move officers that already are on an away mission (or on a ship) to the end of the list? also, a selection option that contains (active) traits would be much appreciated

[chrome elk]

The lag currently in the game is getting tedious now. It's almost unplayable at times.. I dread to think how the territory capture event is going to play out as they are impossible now. 2 minute battles etc... Why oh why would you start territory capture events when territory capture lag makes it impossible to play???

[harsh anvil]

Away team assignments new animation is beautiful and super annoying because its way too long

[snow lotus]

Can I assume iPad Air 4th gen is supported since 3rd gen is? It’s just not on the list of supported devices.

[glad cradle]

If the model you have is higher, than it should be supported.

[balmy shuttle]

@twilit mango This is idiotic. Please lift these unreasonable restrictions.

[tepid bramble]

Yeah, totally ridiculous

[worthy pagoda]

This TC event is funny, scopely logic let’s make an event and give all the whales all the particles they’ve been mining for how many months lmfao this whole game is becoming a joke anymore screw the people that don’t get in territories because they won’t spend real money on fake ass game where the people running it don’t give a shit about their players. They only care about the people that spend 100,000s of dollars

I hope you have a back up plan as you guys continue to drive everyone away. What are your whales going to do when there’s no one to beat up on?

[still gazelle]

Not sure if this is the right place for it.. and I know feedback is generally all about complaining. But I thought I'd note that I had an in-game issue regarding points for an SMS event.. I hit up Scopely Customer Support and they corrected the mistake in the exact way I asked. There was no arguing, no fussing, no telling me to kick rocks.. Nothing. Just an apology and a correction. That was bomb diggity, and I'm very appreciative.

[crude sandal]

Speaking as an ex-support body, please take note of the guys name and send it via the mods, that sort of thing always used to make our day as a team that only really got talked to/about when stuff went wrong. 🙂

Bloomin thankless existence otherwise 😂

[still gazelle]

Good advice @crude sandal . I'll do that!

[rough belfry]

Anybody getting a weird "retrieving" messge for the mission Vendetta Part 2-step 3?

[sharp storm]

When I spend 50 bucks on a bundle I definitely want there to be a difference in alliance gifts- or I just won’t spend the $$ sorry, please please give better alliance gifts foe the $ I spend - I feel strongly that I usually only buy packs with good alliance gifts.

[blazing monolith]

Finally, decent artwork/graphics on this mission hostile. 👏

[marsh drum]

Why did we get that prime officers pack? What did you do to the officers? Only reason I got it was for the boost that is now meh.

[livid vapor]

If you actually look at it, it is saying that it is supporting devices no older then iOS 13, current iOS version is iOS 15, iPhone 12 is on iOS 15.
Those are the older devices that are still supported running on iOS 13.

[frank ingot]

yes, just click locate

[rough belfry]

I tried that and it didn't work.

[eager hull]

Why did they give us a prime officer stats chest? What did they screw up?

[drowsy sierra]

Scopely, are you ever going to do anything with this guy?

[eager hull]

What are they gonna do? Make him stop playing the game?

[drowsy sierra]

Move him

[prisma helm]

Move him where? And why? For using the game mechanics they created?

[drowsy sierra]

Let him on your server for a while and you will see why. I could care less that he hit my ship. His 6 to 8 hour drunken rants are getting old. His repeated solicitation for drugs various illegal drugs is getting old. His repeated vulgarity towards all players is getting old. Scopely has censured him multiple times for his conduct. Is that enough or would you like quotes and pictures?

[prisma helm]

Well, all you'd done is posted a picture of an attack without context, asking for him to be moved. If he's breaking game TOS report it to Scopley. Every time. If they don't do anything about it, unfortunately that's theres nothing anyone else can do. Keep reporting it.
Most servers have someone like that, anyway.

[drowsy sierra]

This is from one of his previous tirades. I would say the group from the our server tried to send a message.

[hot fern]

Was excited about finally getting cloaking ability. Let me just say that it was a major letdown. To require a refit for every ship is simply a money-grab on Scopely’s part. The events to use cloaking are tedious.

[nova sierra]

Lmao his ship is weak as shit

My 1.5m Saladin can easily beat the shit out of him

His crewing is meh too

[drowsy sierra]

If it just that easy! He is KOS for pretty much the whole server. At least Scopely has now banned him from chat.

[modern dragon]

What a joke???

[obtuse escarp]

#👾-bug-reporting message

think you have to write to the support

[modern dragon]

Thanks - i do that for a while - nothing happens - i think, they had to do something without a ticket… -

[bronze axle]

Is the design of territory for the end goal to be no takeover attempts? My server has zero takeover attempts. One group of 9 alliances all collude to negotiate territories, no battles just a bunch of talking. For a pvp game it’s not very fun. My alliance is number 2, in power, number 1 in power destroyed, and number 1 in resources raided, and we have zero chance of taking a territory. Even the current event is already decided just uncontested teams dropping and reclaiming…wahoo, not fun at all.

[hallow pumice]

"hostile explorer, interceptor class, ship is a battleship in the game"

[hallow pumice]

just block him if you're that botherd by him

[hot creek]

How can we turn off all the second repair/builder/research option. I dont want the lock crap taking up all the screen

[misty stirrup]

Highly doubt they would fix it asap. But I garuntee if it dealt with them getting money it would be immediately shut down maintenance server wide and back up quickly with a peace sheild an apology and some point in the arc we in. But nope I won't get anything but oh well this will be looked into meanwhile can't mine there or do events there if they have them. Mmmmm

[left wasp]

Can anybody tell me what these are

[quick marten]

Scopley need to limit the amount of time an alliance can hold on to the territory.

[worthy lagoon]

Just wanted to come here and quickly say how much I appreciate the 3 new L33 Borg systems. Today was the most peaceful Borg Battle event we've ever had. Thank you!

[quick marten]

I need a 2nd, & 3rd star base!

[frail geyser]

Fix the damn dallies!

Since the new update, player behaviour has deteriorated to a new low. I’m daily getting highly offensive abuse and Scopely does nothing. It seems the reporting function isn’t an actual feature rather for appearances only - as it direct complaints via the contact. Getting time to delete the app.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/866094109219487767/909034007495335956/unknown.jpeg

The pvp level banding needs work. There is literally nothing I could do to stop this attack. And look at how little damage done. Ridiculous.

Being attacked by a player that has more than half again my levels is stupid. And he has more power then my by a factor of 10. Completely uncompetitive.

Perhaps instead pvp should be based on total player power?

[midnight pilot]

Shield would've stopped it

[rough belfry]

But that also removes my ability to raid.

Also not a helpful comment.

[midnight pilot]

1st bad signal, 2nd you clicked too fast and 3rd you just logged in telling you its retrieved data for your id and tells you server you are now on.

[rough belfry]

The problem with "just use a shield" is that I can't hit miners but my miners can be hit back.

So staying under a bubble at all times, which is what it would take to prevent hits like this, greatly limits my ability to play the game.

If instead the pvp aspect is better balanced then the game would be more fun and allow for more dynamic play.

Though I suppose if Scopely would adjust the shields so you can hit miners on node without popping your shield, that could fix things too.

Then you could basically opt out of pvp without being hampered by not finding nodes to mine.

[fierce turret]

What? No! Why should you be able to attack miners without facing the risk of retaliation on your base?

[rough belfry]

Why should someone with more power by a factor of 10 be able to raid my base?

The pvp level banding is broken.

[fierce turret]

Because you didn't shield and the universe is a dangerous place

while I agree that the pvp lvl banding gets really broad with higher levels and bigger players with bigger ships will just trample over your base, that is what shields are for

I don't think the pvp ranges are for "balancing", and more like training wheels that slowly come off. At some point, you're just free game

Yeah well, either opt out of pvp (and shield) or don't. You want to stay turtled up while still being able to attack others for your own convenience. That's silly ...at least in my personal opinion.

I am playing on a really empty server though so finding mining nodes was never an issue. No idea how bad that actually is on your server

[rough belfry]

The shield thing was only an idea. Not what I want. Just throwing things out there.

[fierce turret]

Yeah. I do understand you. I just think this is an issue with almost all mobile p2w games. Their goal is to get our money. So they make people who pay a lot stronger than the people who don't. And people who paid money want to see the effect while defeating weaker players. That's just the way it is.

[rough belfry]

But if they would actually balance things out a bit then the game would be more fun and attract and keep more players. Thereby increasing their sales.

[fierce turret]

but "balancing things out" is contrary to what whales want to see. and they are the ones funding scopely. I don't think it's gonna happen 😉

(also I'm sure there are whales around who don't have fun stomping smaller players. I am generalizing here. Sorry if I step on anyone's toes)

[rough belfry]

Most of the whales I've talked to want what's best for their servers. Which is happy healthy players as that gives them more targets.

[fierce turret]

haha, exactly. they want targets. but you would like to not be one. See the contradiction? ^^

[rough belfry]

I don't mind being a target per se. I just want a reasonable chance to defend. I had more power and 2 ships home and was beaten in one hit in 4 rounds while dealing next to no damage.

[last nest]

"thats just the way it is" sounds like americans before 1960

Lol

[fierce turret]

Hmm. You're comparing your account's power to the enemie's. All I see is two weak ass ships in your base with low base defense. And a lvl 30 enterprise with top crew stomping you. Sorry mate, but everything but a clear victory for the attacker would be weird in my eyes

[dire coral]

Yes you can do nothing about it. If you get hit by someone at the other end of the PvP band you get rekt. Plain and simple. The faster you accept that there are way bigger ships than yours out there the faster you can enjoy the game. And as for base raiding: That’s why there are shields for your base. And to give you motivation: aim for the Enterprise yourself.

[frank ingot]

since you don't want to add the option to disable certain notifications (like armadas), it would be nice if at least you use different notifications groups in android, so I can choose there

[wise notch]

Did the Grand Nagus forget to inform his traders that there are 3 new borg infested systems that might offer business opportunities for the daring, adventuring fernegi?
Haven't seen a single ferengi trader in any of those systems yet

[fierce turret]

Same. I think they just missed it. I already wrote the same in the bug-reporting channel. You might want to drop an emoji to my post there to get it more traction 🙂

[wise notch]

Done @fierce turret

[crimson gazelle]

@fringe tiger the servers are not up, you might want to change that announcement

[obsidian viper]

@crimson gazelle. I just looked. All servers are online. Do you know your server number?

[crimson gazelle]

71

[obsidian viper]

Ty

[crimson gazelle]

This is where I sit for over 15 minutes

[obsidian viper]

Do you have 2 devices. Make sure 1 is logged out of the game. Happens to me. Between cell phone and tab. Also a weak cell service or wifi service.

[crimson gazelle]

I’ll check

[proud musk]

I am level 28, so err.. how does one get this?

It doesn't seem to be in the gift section.

[crimson gazelle]

Here’s some feedback, you need to repatch for Apple store. The current patch is not allowing upload

[proud musk]

That'll be hard on a Samsung. 👀

[crimson gazelle]

Ok $150 of purchases and all progress (90 days) is all gone. I will be asking Apple Store for a full refund, since you guys can’t update a patch for shit.

[zealous quiver]

#171 server is down

[rough belfry]

This just proves my point. My ships are about as strong as I can get them. Being only level 25 means I can't build the more powerful faction ships.

But even then, the listed powers were nearly equal but the damage dealt was clearly 1 sided. Not even close.

[rough belfry]

The problem with "just use a shield" is that I can't hit miners but my miners can be hit back.

So staying under a bubble at all times, which is what it would take to prevent hits like this, greatly limits my ability to play the game.

If instead the pvp aspect is better balanced then the game would be more fun and allow for more dynamic play.

[dire coral]

I am under a shield almost 24/7. I use my 24h shields each day (mostly). Doesn’t limit my ability to play. But if people wreck my base I tell them „what’s up?“ repair and keep playing. If he has a big miner that con one shot your base you are always able to shield. Getting hit is part of the game (a part which you need to accept and start doing yourself).

[rough belfry]

If instead the pvp aspect is better balanced then the game would be more fun and allow for more dynamic play.

[gusty moat]

Doesn’t match up

[tranquil dew]

Perhaps that max lvl for Saru and the extra shards were changed to officer xp?

Which is why u have 22.4K and not 20k?

[gusty moat]

Could be I guess…. Him and Stamets are lt IV grade. What’s the highest you can go?

[tranquil dew]

Stfc.space says V for 75 shards

[gusty moat]

Well then that would be it

[left surge]

In the new classification for territories, points are scored by winning or defending. If a territory is left 5 minutes before the acquisition and recaptured, do you get higher scores?

[nova sierra]

Yup

[narrow bridge]

Really need to look at the power gained for some buildings. L39 Ship Hangar is the second most expensive and longest build time (after ops) and it gives 750 power. Not even enough for 1st tier of any station events. 1B PS and 40 day build time and can't even get a reward for completing it! Ridiculous

[quick marten]

Too many officers to scroll through. We need favorite slots with preselected officers on the side of the screen.

[edgy cairn]

Anyone know the best system(s) to go to grind D3 bps within a warp range of 41? I’m a Federation player but wanna get a D3.

[spark finch]

D3 BP do not drop from hostiles, you can get 32 of them from missions and/or purchase in the Klingon Faction store

[edgy cairn]

These are from hostile drops so I would’ve guessed D3 could be gotten that way too.

[spark finch]

for whatever reason scopely decided that the D3, Mayflower, and Legionary don't drop from hostiles only missions, Faction Store, and events.

[quartz smelt]

Hey scopely! You guys SUCK at communicating.
I was reading on DJs discord about the event betrayal tokens! To damn late for me to trade sides. I probably won’t get the reward avatar now! All because you guys don’t give any notice to the players! You guys suck.

I finished both events and picked up both tokens!

The TC ZONE EVENT sucks! It’s all about the wallet warriors! No chance to even fight for a zone when they come in with level 49+ ships…3 years of playing your game, I’ve seen some crappy events with you guys. But, this whole Arc is really stressing my desire to play!

[quartz smelt]

Can’t exactly stop this kind of play in the tc zones

[spark finch]

for better or for worse, whales are only so many ships and with scopelys servers TC can come down to who can hold the most ships in the territory.
My servers top whale with his Northcutt and his top alliance was not able to help his Ally Alliance take a territory from a lower Alliance today because they where able to host enough ships and get enough friendlies to help overload the territory.

[woeful nymph]

Having cloaking dailies that cost 90 tetryons (Bortas) when we only get 65 a day seems a bit silly. That’s also assuming we don’t use the cloaking for anything else.

[sacred tulip]

I've actually found this arc to be fun with great rewards

[woeful nymph]

Much better rewards

[narrow bridge]

Yes apart from the amount of armada directives required the arc is good and rewards are great particularly for resources. Never seen so many 1B PS tokens

[wise gorge]

With all the talk about quality of life improvements I found the recent armada event to be completely in opposition to any such activity, spent more time in game trawling systems for armadas other than actually doing anything productive in game and I'm talking hours and hours, it was a painful event, i get the idea of running the tier based event alongside the leaderboard event to get a 2 for 1 hit but even with the recent tweaks to spawn time there simply arent enough armadas to cope with the demand. @spare tulip

[sharp vortex]

Is anyone else's PC version stuck at 20% right now?

[brazen prism]

when will there be more stock for cloaking, each activation will cost 20 tokens or more. We getting also too low cloaking credits 65 every day - for the daily you need 90 .. come on scopely you make cloaking events and dailies, give players a way to get enough every day and able to stock it up

[astral mountain]

It appears the scoring for the Sela event isn’t working for non critical success wins

[rough belfry]

Here's an idea to adjust the level banding to allow for more dynamic pvp play.
Under lvl 20 - +/- 2 lvls (same as it is now)
20 to 24 - +/- 3 lvls (keeping minimums in the same fashion as current)
25 to 29 - +/- 4 lvls
30 to 34 - +/- 5 lvls
etc

[analog plank]

Please fix game stability. Constant crashing of game is one of the biggest issues past 2 days it has gotten worse

[vale falcon]

Please separate out the 5min repair claim from the tetryon gift claim when you are at or over max the same as with the borg transwarp cells. too often am i accidently claiming then later in the day i need those tetryon's but i have lost access that day please and thankyou

[normal wadi]

Seriously Scopely? You make the Antique Latinum Refinery difficult to access because the Assimilated Ferengi Traders are difficult to find then turn around and have the plain, easy to obtain transwarp cell as an option in the antique latinum refinery???!!! The only options in that refinery should be things that can't be obtained anywhere else.

[normal wadi]

It says "20k+." That means you will get AT LEAST 20k guaranteed, but it could be more.

[dire coral]

If you are over the limit for more than 22 hours and you then claim the repair speed up that doesn’t mean you can’t claim the tetryons. I am over the limit for 2 days (bp and event rewards). Got the repair speed up. When I did my cloaking dailies and went under the limit I claimed the 65 tetryons. There is a visible counter and an invisible one. Borg cells work the same way if you want to try it.

[vale falcon]

my timers must not be lined up then

[dire coral]

If you don’t go to Borg system every day try it with those. Go over the limit. Write down the time: right after 22 hours you claim the 100 inert probes. And then one hour later go to Borg system. You then are able to collect the 2 cells as gifts.

[gusty moat]

That wasn’t the problem and also already been explained

[stuck delta]

Sadly not, when the d3 was added (after launch) scopely didnt bother changing the drops in their wisdom

[neon sand]

Would really appreciate the ability to get more epic projectile shards by themselves, so I could finally unlock refractive beam I purchased.

[cyan tendon]

Thanks for the Level 45 mission (considering I’m only lvl 41). I’ll really enjoy this mission sometime in 2023. 🙄

[vivid crest]

i play this game since 3 weeks i already spend a lot of money and today [SFA]fazergirl attack me 147 times !!!! i totaly disgusted .

[stiff light]

@vivid crest welcome to stfc a game with a pvp component

[glossy lynx]

I am sooooo sick and tired of all the glitches and bugs with this current update!!!! My game crashes at least once every 5-10 min of playing time. It’s ridiculous! Unplayable!

[kindred rock]

Oh the joy …. Event offers a lvl 45 mission that need warp 80 …. REALLY ??? Catering for the top 1% of players .

[dark nest]

Territory can only be obtained by the largest strongest alliances, where one 45 can take out an entire alliance of players who top out at 39.
To balance this out, they provided the Sarco which requires items you can only get if you own a territory but is too slow and weak even on nodes against said 45.

Then to top it off, the events and normal rewards for owning territory put all the owners out of reach of non-territory owners which means that if you have never had a territory, then you can never get one.

Seems overall to be very badly thought out and implemented and after a year should be completely overhauled

[crude sandal]

One 45 can't stop you from swarming a system though, unless you're being silly and not moving

We completely ignored the 51 on capture nodes in the last takeover I was in, just killed his mates

[shell root]

This works when it's a 1 on 1 situation certainly, but a lot of servers don't have that setup. They have a group of alliances with the level 50 killer ships clearing everyone for the one alliance that has been pre-determined to be the owner. When it's 10 alliances to 1, it does not matter how high above your weight class your alliance can punch.

[vivid crest]

i agree with pvp but attacked the same player 147 times must be forbidden

[shell root]

And it's woefully stacked for defender points on top of that, since even basing right outside of territory means transit times of a few minutes, so every ship death by an attacker is 3x less points or so than one by the defender who respawns immediately in the territory and starts getting points right away.

[crude sandal]

We are anything but 1v1

The difference is, we stand a chance against the mid-40s 😂

[shell root]

Yeah, not so much for us yet. And the lag problem certainly does not help when the ship blows up before it even shows you entering the system.

[crude sandal]

But why are you 10 v 1? and not 10 v 10... that's what allies are for

hah, yep, we had a busy one where combats took 30-60 seconds a piece, assuming we could make contact in the first place

[shell root]

10-1 is overexaggerating a bit, but our server made some clear lines early on with the top 10 groups dividing things up

And when it's top 10, that's where all the heavies live.

But in the end it's been fine. They all helpfully go OPL for us regularly

[crude sandal]

our top five alliances are split fairly evenly at the moment in terms of groupings (1,2 vs 3,4,5) with some extras on each side

But also a close to dead server it feels like, sometimes

The week-ish I was solo due to being sick of the petty politics, I was coming between 15th to 20th on ALBs 😂

[shell root]

We are pretty active server wise. I don't even bother with SLBs any more because of how many people are on them with $. So the other extreme I guess.

[prisma helm]

You can try reporting it to Scopley support as harassment. You'd need evidence of their attacks. But they may not do anything as that player is using the mechanisms of the game that are available.
If they managed to hit you 147 times in one day you may want to get your alliance involved, or change how you play so you're not as easy to find

[crude sandal]

That's a lot... was it a base raid, though?

Because being found that number of times in one day if it's ship to ship is just plain impressive

But, if it was empting your station of liquid RSS... then it's just average 😂

[prisma helm]

That's true. If it was a station raid there's much worse to come

[sharp girder]

Hello

[blissful yew]

So I still don’t see an answer to where to get/find the Franklin-A warp interlock mk 2? I’m lvl 37 almost 38. The warp interlock is the only thing I need to get Franklin-A to T2. Any help appreciated.

[dim tinsel]

Kudos to Jax, who took a look at my support ticket quickly, providing a fix. Very nice 👍

[fast gulch]

Fix the broken nodes. Server 16 has some that have been there well over a year now.

[alpine elk]

It’s in your missions to upgrade ops to 39, then its upgrade ops to 41 after that

[nova sierra]

How else are you meant to empty a base?

147 times is nothing compared to my server lol

[tepid valve]

Did anyone their Discovery S4 gift chest? Mine had 25k Officer xp, that’s it! I was so shocked I forgot to take a screenshot lol

[prisma helm]

10 origins Burnham shards

[proper raft]

Thanks for the awesome gifts scoplay, first it was 25k xp now it’s 62.5k xp. At level 5 that’s great. At 37 it’s just a drop in the ocean

[lethal bluff]

They've put so much effort into that gift they didn't have time to create a pack to sell...

[blissful yew]

If I need to upgrade ops to 39 why does it say I can upgrade Franklin-A to T2 at 37?

[crude sandal]

Have you got the Franklin mission archived?

Because you need to collect the reward

[blissful yew]

Thank you. Yep I did lol. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[zealous kettle]

I don’t understand why after I buy a pack or when I feel a bit flush and buy an expensive pack then I no longer see the smaller ones. I would be more inclined to spend my money when you give me all options and not just the £50 or £100 packs just because I’ve brought one

[smoky meteor]

Is there a reason why my exocomp for 100% Protected cargo doesn't change the amount of protected cargo? This is the second time I've activated it and I'm still going OPC

And yes, I was docked when I activated it

[hollow pike]

It’s 100% of base protected cargo added. It’s not giving you 100% protected cargo.

The amount being added isn’t that much when you factor in the extra protection you already have from researches and officers.

[smoky meteor]

Thanks for clearing that up

[cobalt shadow]

well it really really is too bad when the alliance fighting you has like 1.7B power and you have 600M. 😢

no idea how to fix that but maybe bracketed TC? 🤷‍♂️ like 1B-1.5B alliances can fight, 750M-1B, etc.

[polar basin]

Diplomacy is the answer.

And a 51 on a capture node is pointless. The smaller players should sit there to give them a boost

[stiff light]

the only way for territories to work is lock them out to any alliance not participating in the takeover and any ships in the territory that do not belong to an alliance participating in the takeover get booted back home

[prisma helm]

But I like to watch the fights

[stiff light]

join the takeover

[waxen osprey]

@twilit mango Why are the 4.99 and 17.99 armada packs not available for me in the store.

[molten sequoia]

prob because u already bought them once

fyi where media creators not game devs 🤣

🤣 good save @waxen osprey

[waxen osprey]

@twilit mango Are you able to tell me why the 4.99 and 17.99 armada packs have been removed from the store

[livid vapor]

Because they give you higher and better 😜 packs after you bought the cheap ones

[waxen osprey]

Even the 45.99, which I didn't buy, has been removed. I'm only allowed to buy the 89.99 armada pack.

I want cheaper options

[livid vapor]

Yup that’s normal, and some packs are certain prices and not lower versions

[waxen osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/con-pros-and-cons-contra-against-not-for-it-gif-13642507

Unscrupulous

[worthy sapphire]

4th pull of uncommon armada reward chests (2 chests) this week with ZERO rare directives. Well, I won't be spending another dime on this slot machine.

[worthy sapphire]

they need to drop a zero from the price of everything in the store. this IS a mobile game, not GTA5..... just sayin. Not that it matters

[nova sierra]

I’ve been saying this for years

[nova sierra]

This is what is wrong with this game. 31 one shooting a 23, the attack level needs adjusting.

[nova sierra]

While there are cases level banding is annoying, base raids isn’t one. If you forget to shield, another 23 will come to crack you

[half ginkgo]

Frustration: A Daily Goal in which @Scopely prevents a player from acquiring an inventory to complete outside of purchasing a pack. That being Tetryons. Daily Goal: Destroy 3 hostiles or player ships while cloaked at or above the listed level.

[rough belfry]

@scopely, please make it so that when you join a territory takeover you have vision of the territory so you can better plot courses when invading.

When blindly plotting course, the game uses a very narrow path that ships follow and so people camp right on the edge of the system to ambush ships before they can even see within the system.

[earnest granite]

I think that is to be considered part of the 'defender bonus'.

Which I think is fine. As attacker you have the advantage of being able to plan a surprise attack. Studying defenders attendance etc.

[manic glacier]

Just an idea. Events that reward promotion badges. Please change this to reward the identical amount of Minor Commendation tokens instead. These are almost always equal numbers of the three badges, currently. Allowing the players a choice of what badges they actually need for officer promotions (such as the massive number of command badges) will allow those trying to progress a better means of moving their officers forward to be more worthwhile.

[blazing monolith]

If you think that's bad, I just logged on to complain that an Ops 51 player is able to hit and crack bases of an Ops 36 player.
There is no possible way an Ops 36 player could ever have a ship.... or base, strong enough to take on a 41m sized ship. With 15 levels apart, the size in power difference is Massive. This mechanic is a perfect example; scopely only cares about the wallet warriors. Nobody else. Period.

[livid vapor]

there is one thing all players have to defend against those attacks.......

[blazing monolith]

Defend how?

[prisma helm]

Shield

No power can crack a shield

[blazing monolith]

So, accept the poor mechanic, don't complain about badly imbalanced game play. Got it

Why have the Chanel then?

[prisma helm]

I agree the level ranges are crazy. But it's possible to stop your base getting raided by anyone of any level.

[crude sandal]

Largely the level ranges are like that so the guys at the top don't get bored and quit spending 👀

[blazing monolith]

And for over a year I have. I'm not complaining about getting hit.... read.
I'm complaining about the massive disparity between two players and still being capable of hitting. It's a blatant imbalance garnered towards favoring wallet warriors

[crude sandal]

Remember the adage, if you don't pay for something, you are the product...

[livid vapor]

https://tenor.com/view/shields-up-red-alert-gif-9795654

😄

[dire coral]

The wallet warriors are the reason you can log on and play. Don’t forget that. So keeping them interested in the game is pretty important.

[livid vapor]

not always, as a ops 31 i was able to take down ops 39 players ships 😄 hahahaa that was fun

sally vs Augurs and d4s 😄

[blazing monolith]

Cool. Now do a 51

[prisma helm]

It's absolutely geared towards wallet warriors. They are Scopley's profit. When my server opened up Ops 40 one guy went to 46 before anyone else hit 40. He spent huge amounts. If he couldn't attack anyone else on our server do you think he'd drop all that money?

[crude sandal]

It's not great, but it's 100pct simple to avoid being raided, shields are magic

[prisma helm]

Scopley knows who to keep happy.

[blazing monolith]

I guess dolphins and ftp don't help them at all. Again, I'm not saying they can't hit, it's a war game. I'm saying the disconnect is ruining the game for this "food" for wallet warriors

[crude sandal]

And it's not us 😅

[blazing monolith]

Try reading what I wrote. Don't care about being hit, it's the massive level difference being allowed

[crude sandal]

And between that, and the time needed to progress past late 30s is why so many drop out of the game

And why they need the wider net for the larger players

[livid vapor]

again thats no different to a 39 hitting a 29, or a 30, but we do it, raiding a base is a part of the game, and reality is mostly those bigger players are only cracking for their alliance, because it's not worth it in general for a lvl 50 to raid a base, they can buy a pack faster with more rss then they could ever raiding a base,

[crude sandal]

Because the population thins out dramatically at higher ops

It's something of a vicious cycle, but where there's always a handful that leap out ahead, they need to keep the brackets wider

First two jellies on our server were auto wins...

[blazing monolith]

They're widening it because of the problems they made. They're imbalancing the game because ftp are leaving making the game no fun for the wallet warriors. How do you fix that? Start respecting all levels and types of players. But scopely won't. So, I guess all ft2 should just quit now

[crude sandal]

OK, kthxbai

But seriously, there are reasons for it, you may not like them, but that's all we've given

Even worse in territory, no level banding at all!

[blazing monolith]

So, by the same math, a 36 should be able to hit a 21. But, I cant

[crude sandal]

But that's also for reason, because otherwise an alliance of ops 20 alts could win territory from top alliances 😅

[blazing monolith]

So how is the mechanic expanded for the wallet warriors, but not ftp?

[crude sandal]

Sliding scales, my man

Think 36 can hit down to 24? And its just as much of a thrashing

[blazing monolith]

Exactly. To favor wallet warriors only

[livid vapor]

in actual fact they haven't widened it, look at this chart, the Middle Column is what we have, the right side was original (Pre Release during Alpha and Beta ), Left column was what it was when the game released, the middle column was the adjusted after ops 40 came out.
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/697529041527504990/772994853033869323/unknown.png?width=359&height=675

[blazing monolith]

This is actually very helpful. And, telling

[crude sandal]

Still, ships are disposable, and shields are magic... Can't remember the last time I was raided

And if someone wants to play with a corvus and my ships, fine, they can eat realtas...

[blazing monolith]

That person wasn't raiding. They didn't do it for rss. Their alliance mate was trying to crack and couldn't, so the 51 comes along and cracks the base in one hit, then leaves. No raiding by the 51, just the base crack. If this was needed to keep the wallet warriors fed, then why do they not eat? Oh, thats right, because it doesn't have anything to do with that. The wallet warriors like this mechanic so they can throw their weight around. That's it. Deny it all you want, but we all know why the WWs hit 15+ levels below themselves...

[prisma helm]

I haven't denied that at all. You're literally saying what I'm saying.

[blazing monolith]

Well, you're boasting about why it's a fact and why it's needed, and I'm saying it's an issue and needs to change. So.... not Literally the same thing. Lol

[prisma helm]

I've not boasted about anything. I've given a point of view. It's different to yours, and that's okay.

I've said that the ranges are like they are because Scopley needs to appease whales. You've said they should be changed because they are there to appease the whales.

[blazing monolith]

Lol. Touché. Semantically different, but thematically the same

[prisma helm]

I'd be much happier if the ranges were reduced. I'm on the lower level side of my server and it'd take me out of range of a lot of whales. But I understand why scopley don't want to bite the hand that feeds

[blazing monolith]

I say let's bite em. Lol

Ok, rant complete. Scopely, it's a heated issue for a good reason. Look into it

[regal aurora]

So are we going to get enough tetryons so we can use cloaking to actually have fun or are we going to need to continue to ration them in order to complete our dailies (and sometimes miss out on them because 65 a day will leave you short).

[dire coral]

Yea that is exactly how scopely wants it. Kill one every day and kill 3 NOT every day. I am lucky and my D3 can handle the 35s. So I loose 10 tetryons each day (meaning I won’t do any cloaked hits once every 6 days).

That will change once I get cloaking for my Augur. 😎

[regal aurora]

Well you won't be getting it free any time soon 😂

[dire coral]

I know. My guess is I will get it January next year (each arc a new lvl - so next up those 32s). So enough time to get my tetryon radiation count up.

[cobalt shadow]

Please fix scopely support 🙂

[tribal bane]

Okay with all of the armada events you’ve required everyone to do. Please fix the cool downs and number of chests

I now have
40 weeks of 5 chest epic pulls
200 days of UC chest pulls
Near a week of 6 chest rare pulls

Reduce the cooldown for epics to 3 days and add the ability to do 10 chests For UC add the ability to do more chests

Please fix this it’s becoming silly

[brazen prism]

One day?! Most critical, 1 to 3 days ..

[nova sierra]

It’s not like this event has been planned and announced weeks ago

[analog plank]

I would have to have saved 5 rare assignments and won at them. That's 15 officers being held >2 days.
I even sped up my 2 rares I had started and got 1 reset in my cue

[livid vapor]

What ops are you?? Eventually if you get to 40+ there are new G4 chests that do cost a lot more. Many would probably say they aren’t worth it, but if you have the armada credits it’s not a bad thing, plus’s you’ll need those chests to get the rare Tactical cores to upgrade your ACC.

[tribal bane]

Lol I hear they’re definitely not worth it 😂😂😂😂 but a requirement

[livid vapor]

Or just also save your directives, don’t need to use all your directives, save them for events

[tribal bane]

I do that’s how I got here

[livid vapor]

But you have so many credits so, that becomes a null point cos you might as well spend them on those new chests, and get something for them

[tribal bane]

And being an armada whore

[livid vapor]

Well yes, so don’t worry about doing them without an armada event, then you’ll save your directives without having to spend real money

[low swift]

Is there actually Dev's reading this or just people using this channel for normal chat?. Anyway isn't it about time the home button took us straight to our bases.Not the system view on 1st push,not the centre of that system on 2nd push but straight there.If my base gets pinged I don't want to push home twice and then pan round my home system! Just saying!

And before anyone says push locate on a docked ship takes you straight home,NOT if all your ships are out.Been tee'ing me off since I started playing nearly 3 yrs ago.

[deft willow]

Got ya sfc

[teal sand]

I have an issue.

I side with feds and at lvl 27. Now to get cloaking I have to wait till lvl 34 to get enterprise while my kling and romulan friends get that at lvl 26 with d3 or legionnaire. I can't get cloaking on hijacked d3 or legionary as they are not pure. Is it not unfair to feds.

And then we get events which ask for cloaking only.

Like Disappearing act

[shadow barn]

Ridiculous that it costs 90 tetryons to do the cloak dailies but you only get 60/day.

[brazen prism]

Bugged armada event again . You do two 39 uncommon armada and only that amount of points.. 😰

[vale falcon]

can we consider a general QOL improvement in relation to access to hostiles in the 40+ range. my ships are strong enough to kill them but i dont have the warp range to reach them. is this a bottleneck we still need considering the introduction of ops 51+

[waxen osprey]

@twilit mango @spare tulip
Why have the £17.99 armada packs been removed from the store

@twilit mango @spare tulip
I want the cheaper options please

[timid heart]

#worstarcyet

[wispy hound]

we talked about this in our group. points received based on damage done. stack your damage output

[tawny wyvern]

In what persons right mind when they added these did they think this was a fair match and didn't adust PvP bands. That's like a 40 plus being able to hit a 20. The thought that no one said hey someone with a 139 mil ship should be able to hit by someone that can't even get a g4 ship is which still isn't a match is more then even laughable it's downright poor thinking or catering to the whales. Soon that's all that will be left and then they will leave when they have nothing to go after but themselves. Maybe stfc wants to no longer exist and this is a way of doing it 🤷

[brazen prism]

Hi, I am playing with tier 7 Gladius max dmg what is possible. Did now 8 level 39 armadas still 20% complete.. it remains bugged 😨

[wispy hound]

yeh alright that may b a bug then actually. have u submitted a ticket? in meantime was goin to suggest try with tng crew, specifically riker as captain & damage increase exo. see if u have a difference

[livid vapor]

What are the rest of the ships in the armada? Because it’s damage you have done as a part of the armada

The less people in the armada the more damage you do meaning more points

15 million seems about right from 2x 39s

If they were full. And depends on the power of the rest of the ships that were involved

[wispy hound]

t4 d4 w/ tng crew averaged 13m for 35’s other night. why i said something

[livid vapor]

A level 39 armada has 35 million hull, if you divide that amongst 6 people that’s not a lot,

A 35 is easy to do solo or with 2 people, so your gonna get more points if you have less people, meaning each person is inflicting more damage each

[brazen prism]

5/6 person with range 1.9/3.3 mil ships regular morale group

[livid vapor]

Yes and the 39 armada has 35 million hull, (rounded) approx.
So if 6 people all did equal damage youd only get approx 5.8 million damage points

[wispy hound]

checked notes, was 9.5 for 37 actually but yes. ppl make the difference

[livid vapor]

If you ran it with 5 people you’d get approx 7 million,

So it’s not the event, it’s the amount your doing in the armada,

If you guys are strong enough and easily do the 39 uncommon, it’s worth giving the 41 uncommons a go in the warp 65 systems, you’ll have more potential to do more damage points per armada

[brazen prism]

Dark space not option, warp and not strong enough ships for it 😹

There are not enough armada to make smaller groups.. you know that problem well enough, never enough armadas for everyone during the event

[crude sandal]

I'm confused, it's saying you can't attack, and that's a scan not a report?

[dire coral]

If I am not mistaken the shield health counts as well.

[livid vapor]

Not as far as I’m aware for armadas, even pvp or hostiles damage events like exchange hostiles etc is all hull damage only, I wouldn’t expect this to be any different and from points I recieve it would make sense

[dire coral]

Then I am confused. I did a calculation a couple events back: to get very close to the number in the banner (points scored in SLB) I needed to add damage to hull AND damage to shield for the armada. And close in terms like <10k difference (but if I rounded my exact calculation I would have gotten the same number).

[livid vapor]

Because I solo a 33 armad and I get 12 million points and that’s how much hull there is

Remember it’s not equal split, if you have 6 different people your all going to do different amounts of damage. And also due to rounding the hull says for example 35 million for a 39, but it’s rounded that could be 35.5 million or 35 million 450k total hull. Etc. It’s not an exact number that you see.

[dire coral]

I actually typed my own damage in the battle report into excel spreadsheet (even separated shield and hull damage). And it was pretty close.

And that with an augur for 17 rounds. Not doing that again 🙈

[livid vapor]

for a 33 it has 4 million shield and 12 million hull I should be getting 16 million points then, but I don’t, I get roughly 12 million

It’s the same for pvp damage events it’s always been hull health not shields, and hostiles it’s hull health and never shields

That’s why In pvp damage they use hull regen officers not shield regen officers

[dire coral]

I know but how do you explain that I was close to the number in the banner by adding shield damage too. Only explanation is that the banner is wrong.

[livid vapor]

It won’t be, Im sure it’s hull damage only,

[dire coral]

I check again. The pain of typing numbers in excel 🤷‍♂️

[waxen osprey]

@twilit mango @spare tulip

[livid vapor]

Because you bought them 😂 they don’t keep lower price packs in store once you start buying they show you the next size packs

[tawny wyvern]

It's not mine it was posted after he was cracked by him.

[crude sandal]

Shoulda shielded then...

takeover or war?

[tawny wyvern]

The 58 showed to steal a raid. He cracked hit with a 20 mil miner. He ported. And if that's your answer you missed the point they should get rid of bands then as 128 mil vs a 1.6 is the same if not less then a 1.6 mil against a 700k ship.

[crude sandal]

Right, but that 37 can also go crack a 24

Which is basically the same thing

and the same answer...

shit flows downhill, sadly 😂

But I was curious about the target mark on the big guy...

[tawny wyvern]

I can't touch a 28 or below as a 44 big difference. And no it will flow to people quiting already had a few so. And I can't target from another system either. Scopely catering to the whales as always.

[crude sandal]

What do you mean you can't target from another system? nobody can

[tawny wyvern]

That's why the attack is grayed to answer you question

[crude sandal]

ah

that was the question this morning.. the big guy has a KOS mark on him... so was it during war or a takeover, or are they pirates in general?

[tawny wyvern]

War and it wasn't on territory.

[crude sandal]

war, and unshielded, whoopsie

[tawny wyvern]

He was raiding

[crude sandal]

So, here's the thing, and we had this yesterday with someone else

Scopely likes the big guys, because they're more likely to part with their cash

And scopely, being a business and not a charity, like money

[tawny wyvern]

Well that's all they will have left soon

[crude sandal]

To keep the big guys interested, they can't afford to let their spenders run out of targets, so the ranges widen drastically as you get higher

[tawny wyvern]

Can you imagine of a g4 ship can attack a person that can't even get a g3 ship.

They would quit fast.

[crude sandal]

Show me a raider who raids bases of equal level, and I'll show you someone in their late teens and early twenties...

[tawny wyvern]

Did I say equal it was two levels actually higher

[crude sandal]

he must have strong ships for his level then, or the target was terrible 😂

[tawny wyvern]

Another was cracked by a 20 mil miner.

[crude sandal]

I think even a jellyfish makes a mockery of mayflowers... sooo

3* or not

I'm not even a raider 😂

I just don't get why people get so uptight about the power differential

[tawny wyvern]

A 58 with a 160 mil ship is different then a 6 or so mil vs a 1 mil or so.

[crude sandal]

Like it matters whether you're smashed in by something 5m stronger or 500m stronger?

dead is dead 🤷‍♂️

[tawny wyvern]

They have PvP bands for a reason and they didn't think it thru with 60.

[crude sandal]

someone with a 3m enterprise decides to hit even a 28... it's hardly fair

providing decent crewing*

[tawny wyvern]

But easily defendable how many 58s does your server have we have 5

[crude sandal]

We have one 52

But you're missing the point entirely

If he decides to go for you, it's not defendable

[tawny wyvern]

Well a 52 can't crack me so that tell you anything. But a 58 can crack up to a 500 mil base like butter

[crude sandal]

cool, so shield

[tawny wyvern]

No you are it shouldn't be allowed

[crude sandal]

😂

So what level banding are you suggesting?

That keeps the income flowing for Scopely

because the problem is the same from abotu 25 on up... you can and will be smashed by people bigger than you, unless you have friends bigger than them

[tawny wyvern]

They already acknowledged it will change they just need to hurry or they will lose revenue from others that is more then them. Once at 60 they will not spend much. But others will always spend something

[crude sandal]

And it doesn't really matter how much bigger they are, past a certain point

I think you underestimate how much these guys have put into the coffers

our 52 was spending 3-400 a day just on research packs

more sometimes

[tawny wyvern]

Nope millions on a game that will cease to exist if not banded right as it was when first started

[crude sandal]

you know it's been rebanded since it started, and they got narrower, then

[tawny wyvern]

Yup and should again with g5 ships if you don't work for scopley. This is meaningless.

[crude sandal]

So, is your answer that anyone able to get a 5* ship should not be able to hit a 4* or lower player?

Because the 5* ships do make 4*s pretty worthless as it stands....

[last nest]

well thats obivous

[tawny wyvern]

No bands should be 50 to 60. I don't think I should be able to hit a 29 even.

[last nest]

level banding should be +5, -5 at maximum

[crude sandal]

not at the speed the whales can level 😂

[tawny wyvern]

Doesn't matter how fast that banding will fix the issue. Plus or minus 5

[last nest]

the banding just gets expansive because whales wouldnt have any targets and whales wont fight other whales

[crude sandal]

And then the game will die, because the whales who pour thousands, if not millions in, will have nothing to do

and will leave

[tawny wyvern]

Whales on my server are farmers unless at war and most are because someone broke a ga on farming in high warp. They don't fight

[crude sandal]

most of our 'whales' were still around 45 up til a few months back when one leapt to 50 over the course of a couple weeks 😂

[crude sandal]

So what's your problem? 👀

If they aren't fighting... who cares about the ranges 😂

[last nest]

hes saying they dont fight each other

they only target people 10+ levels lower over a ga

[crude sandal]

Right, because the economy sucks

[tawny wyvern]

Excalty. But such a intelligent convo I have to go to work now.

[crude sandal]

Last time someone asked how much trit a base defence cost our 52... he answered in Euros, and it was not a small number 😂

[last nest]

have fun merry thanksgiving or w/e

lol

thats sad

[tawny wyvern]

You too. And yeah.

One last thing his ship was bigger then the other guys base show me were that's the case in any other instance. I'll check back later.

[steel pumice]

store unavailable

[oblique ridge]

Revert this.

[haughty flower]

What is this? Great work scopeley, punish those who play the game instead of paying. What a complete scam.

[simple spade]

Really slow here. Seems there are some server issues going on.

[simple spade]

Yeah this is horrible

[compact crescent]

Technically its Amazons servers right? 😆

[swift steppe]

It's really hard to see how the pm disappearing all the time is an accident, just more messing with the players

[heady hawk]

Nice of them to inform the mass on the change of rep/hostile farming.....did I miss the announcement in updates?

[haughty flower]

if you missed it, so did I 😂

[candid glacier]

Any changes to swarm hostiles recently? Yesterday I was killing lvl 32 swarm on enterprise and filling the cargo no problem, today, same crew, can only get just above half cargo before ship destroyed. My Franklin seems to be doing same though

Another lower level alliance member noticed same thing using kumari, yesterday he did dailies in one trip, today, needed two trips

[icy summit]

Maybe territory services that are no longer active?

[heady hawk]

Is there a wheel of fortune mod that we can spin to find out which updates are introduced each week?

Asking for a friend

[fresh rapids]

ROE… there should be a consequences when you dry hit a miner ship… cause it’s so annoying already… if you’re in an alliance then you should give a warning to that member wether they are OPC or zero nodes…

[heady hawk]

There is a consequence.....one ships dies

[sour bloom]

As a faction, Fed is dead. Gain rep elsewhere.

[warped vault]

Werent we supposed to be able to get Borg Barot if did all the events? With the Battlepass Im 22 short :/

[livid vapor]

yes and the borg barot events haven't finished yet

[prisma helm]

RoE is entirely user created. Scopley has nothing to do with it, and doesn't care about it. You need to work with your galaxy to figure out a RoE and how to stick to it - including dealing we th breaches

[worldly crater]

I do not kill 1500 hostiles a day, but anyway I do not receive any reputation by killing hostiles.... nothing.
Any one else with the same problem?

Question in regard of Thanksgiving Event: I am OPS35 and would need to spend roughly 750 millions of parsteel to achieve personal milestones. Rewards for doing so: about 120 millions of parsteel and small amount of ore.... seriously Scopely? Anyone stupid enough to do so?

[oblique ridge]

Your ops is too small compared to your ally. I have to spend 2.4bn par in ally contributions to get back 5bn or so plus goodies

If the event doesn't suit you. Skip it.

[worldly crater]

Yes, I will skip.... otherwise it would be ThanksTAKING Event for Scopely, not Thanksgiving 😉

[worldly crater]

Should be possible, to refer the effort and rewards to the ops level of the player instead of the alliance level....

[prisma helm]

Help instead of donate. It's free

[cobalt shadow]

Can u really get 640 helps in 2 days

Cuz I can’t 🤣

[grizzled tartan]

Help as much as you can, get your alliance to constantly blow up G2 ships, then near the end push donates to get the rest if needed

[prisma helm]

It's possible if you get your alliance to damage ships that are cheap to repair and mash the help. But you don't even need to get all the way there with it, just far enough so you can donate to bridge the gap and actually profit from the rewards

We do 100 helps over 2 days easily for the dailies. You probably do around another 50 per day just from clicking the help button during the day (probably a lot more than that).

For the record, I think the target is stupid on this. It's doable, tough, and probably not worth the effort

[waxen osprey]

I would like to see cheaper options for armada directives back in the store @twilit mango @spare tulip @fringe tiger

[nova sierra]

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

What the f?

[acoustic wyvern]

Please, for the love of all that is holy, add a quest log so you can see what quests you have completed.

I’m trying to unlock Ion Particles for the Combat research tree and can’t figure out what quest I am missing in order to unlock A Familiar Face.

[waxen osprey]

Thank you @devs

[spiral cosmos]

DONT NERF REP GRINDING

what the hell you people thinking

[nova sierra]

Deceitful scopely! You have manipulated the situation...with the skill of a Romulan.

[worldly kayak]

This is a horrific idea. The only thing that you hadn’t controlled now you ruin it and limit it like everything else. Total BS

[smoky bobcat]

WHY AM I LIMITED ON HOW REDS I CAN HIT IN ONE DAY. THIS IS A BAD IDEA. SORRY BUT CAN I HAVE MY MONEY BACK I PIT IN THE GAME BECAUSE YOU ARE CHANGING THE GOAL POSTS.

class action lawsuit

[mortal falcon]

Scopely please give reasoning behind this. Is this a technical limitation? If so please explain when it will be resolved. If not a technical limitation we would love to know why.

[worldly kayak]

Per rev video supposedly to limit ppl bot grinding. (Eye roll)

[spiral cosmos]

The rest of us dont need to suffer for this BS

[smoky bobcat]

Scopley likes to add in limitations. So let’s add in a limitation scopley can only sell 15 $100 packs a day. $1500 a day revenue is the only thing they can make. Like I said they like limitations let’s give them the biggest limitation they’ll never recover from. And if you haven’t guessed it Scopley. I’m one very upset camper.

[tardy fiber]

Limiting hostile grinding is a complete joke. How many bots are out there grinding??? Seems really lazy to limit the majority of people that grind for rep everyday because you can’t limit bots….this only hurts REAL players

[smoky bobcat]

@spare tulip I hope your reading

[grave wagon]

During a hostile event I’m pretty sure I done more than that not even talking about grinding reputation. Doing 600 hostiles per day on average for the last year. So during a crucible of war ….

[chrome cape]

Awww they broke your bot…😢

[dark cairn]

Grinding rep when you're over level 39 it's easy to knock out over 1500 hostiles a day. Botting shouldn't occur but I'm sure there are better ways to stop it then hurting the player base that actually grinds hostiles themselves for rep or loot.

[oblique ridge]

What bot????

[spark finch]

breaks my borg probe hunting, on lazy days i liked setup my vidar as a spare ship.
Send and fill up the cargo, recall, send, recall, repair, repeat.
sometimes i would only do 1 transwarp cell, some days i would use 10, either way that with other normal dailies and grindings would/could break 1500

[lethal belfry]

I have hit the cap two days running during my play on a day I am off... Why was this a good idea to put in right before a holiday? I do not like it anyway as I will likely hit it on some normal workdays as well.

[thin atlas]

This limitation is the dumbest thing ive ever heard of a game implementing. No point in it at all. No point in putting up any events in where you have to kill hostiles over a 3 day period and whoever has most points in the end wins.
Whoever is the person spearheading this limitation needs to be let go. It has a good chance in decreasing the player base, meaning folks will quit and less folks means less revenue.

[wild helm]

So, since the description of D'Jaoki's officer ability has finally been updated to match the way he works, isn't it also time to allow his ability to work vs armadas? It made some sense to not have it work against armadas when the ability was supposed to be a malus to the opponent, but since he is just boosting mitigation (like 5 and Beverly) it should be allowed to work.

[granite pike]

Limiting player ability to benefit from killing hostile is stupid. The Thanksgiving event required us to grind hundreds of hostiles. Add the Swarms, Borg probes, daily faction goals and other hostile events and people can easily hit those limits. Your wallet warriors don't care. You are just holding back people who work at this to build rep and farm rewards. You aren't helping anyone at all. Fix this now. Take off the limits. Find another way to stop bot use if it's a real problem.

[rich nest]

Getting rid of hostile grinding was a dirty move. Almost as dirty as your refinery. Please get new people in charge, who aren't greedy cash demons.

[bronze dune]

HELP! 50 is too small and i can never get these down to 0

the lag is too much

would take me 3 hours to open these

[livid vapor]

Then start opening, why leave them to accumulate that high in the first place, there’s no need too, it’s a waste

[river turtle]

Ist this a black Friday joke? Picard? Worf? Officers that many have maxed?

[keen fiber]

<@&509690795536941056> this drastic change without player input should have a public response as to rationale, both as to the number and the choice of mechanism.

There are a number of very obvious alternative heuristics without a 99% false positive rate, which are 1) sustained time active (number of days in a 5-7 day sample where hours as percentage of day exceed 75%) or 2) longest sustained daily period of uninterrupted activity. Use them in tandem, you’ll have much lower false positive rates and data that lets you get your head around the false negatives in the tail, which is going to be a problem for highly active players with low constraints on time (because they are between jobs, retired, on vacation, etc.). Why select such a weak heuristic when player input could have told you how to avoid this?

Your player base is large enough to include people who have experience applying data science to fraud detection and security, would be able to give constructive feedback on how to control for cheating without massive interference in legitimate play. Let us help you do this right.

[chrome cape]

Scopely put the B team in for this holiday. They are so confused. Horrid “event store”. Packs with officers in the picture who aren’t included…. What a joke and a mess.

[granite pike]

And btw, why don't you lose that pathetic Box O' Latinum in the store and restore the lower level Armadas Directives? Have you ever actually sold one of those Latinum packs? A person gets that much with almost any other purchase.

[chrome cape]

Something to do with the legality of their store. Have to have one item that stays the same price or is the same across servers or some nonsense. It was discussed somewhere at some point

[granite pike]

So, some legal eagle took stupid pills and decided that the least attractive product was it?

[chrome cape]

If you had to have some junk item that didn’t change for legal reasons, wouldn’t you make it the worst deal possible too?

Follow the money bud.

[potent ridge]

Just one comment on the change to loot boxes and rep - change it back. I grind for one reason, to reach the next lock, if it's going to take me half a year to get there, exactly what is the point?
