Some players may have been about to quit after last months arc. With this month's not that good, there might some that will quit before the end of the month.

[sleek sorrel]

Am I supposed to turn my phone upside down to chose a frame?

[peak narwhal]

Why is it still so hard for scopley to do something’s good??? Why can’t I choose the ship/rewards possibilities??? I m going for korinar and definitely NOT for Newton or Pillum! Again only half work done and not thought about it!!!

And what was the reward? Newton BP’s… without words again scopley

[tacit jay]

i mean, it's all about 'luck' - its right there in the title. It's the same as the eclipse heist tokens, you're gambling on which credits you're gonna get...

[peak narwhal]

But sad work is still sad work!

[tacit jay]

Can't agree on this one unfortunately, I imagine these tokens correlate to the whole st patty's day luck of the irish kinda vibe, it makes sense. I know it sucks to get the ones you don't want (I mean, I want my enterprise BPs out of the rare armada chests, but I keep getting hijacked whatevertheheck)... it is what it is, if you always got what you wanted, there wouldn't be much else to grind for.

[peak narwhal]

I it’s always same… half thoughts, half work half patches… and half is soooo much more positive said!

It’s with all, getting what u not need!

I have built all 3 in the past…

[tacit jay]

I'll trade you all my hijacked ship bps for those 😛

[peak narwhal]

My jelly is t4…. Need not more upgrades….

Don’t tell me scopley know what they do….

What a workload… some missions, prime researches and 2 officers…. The worst thing about it is that scopley clapps himself on the shoulders for it...

And we still flying with arrows…. Wohhhhoooooo. Be honest and a little demanding and ask yourself how many millions of potential Star Trek has and what scopley makes of it....

I take silence as silent approval... at least something...

[jolly dagger]

Please add more exchange systems with armadas and regular armadas. On server 51 which just merged and it is awful to find exchange armadas for the event. I have a feeling this is going to be a problem when the armada events role around. Please try and get ahead of this.

[brazen oracle]

For once I’d like an addition to this game that's not an officer to not be locked behind a paywall

And still no amalgam f2p path

[peak narwhal]

And still lv 43-49 at one SLB….for mining

Sorry, but I have no positive words anymore….

[jolly dagger]

Yes, In general leaderboard brackets need to be looked at and altered.

[peak narwhal]

Also in terms of equal opportunities, zero competence at scopley

[agile slate]

So why is there still no f2p path to the second builder or second research? How much larger should the gap be between the whales and the rest?

[toxic acorn]

My game on Android I'd extremely laggy, since the last update, very slow. My phone is fine, though

[native narwhal]

What's up with all the secrecy surrounding the treasury? Not wanting CC to talk about it before it's released is one thing, but now you're holding back part of the event schedule as well (#🌌-galaxy-chat message) and no news about events in-game. I thought you wanted to become better at communicating with players, not worse Scopely.

[halcyon cave]

I just about quit today. News about taxing lower level players, autokill from the stalkers not counting toward events or dailies, and on top of the abysmal refining rates. Scopely doesn't care about players they just want tmyour money. They cater to the whales .... let's see how many whales keep playing when the little players leave

[rain onyx]

We have one of those big spenders on the server we merged with. I'm probably going to quit the game at the end of the month as a result. They merge servers due to lack of attendance. I can see why attendance is lacking the big guy throws his power around advertising he owns the server of course he is too big for any one to touch so big he is 100m above all players ship strength wise. Well you can expect to loose more game player fans as a result. If you would take players like these and put them all on the same server then you wouldn't loose the smaller players that just want to have fun and you would get more bucks from the big spenders while getting to keep the smaller spenders. My server I'm on was server 50 we got merged with server 51. Watch the server 50 players exit as a result of this one player.

[sick egret]

What is the matter with rounding the cargo capacity to bottom integer? My 1.7mio horizon is showing only 1M. I can’t compare survey ships anymore or test officers

[stiff spruce]

Add the amalgam to this post.

[valid crest]

They totally messed up the whole cargo system. The different colored bar for protected and overprotected is nice but its all messed up now. Need to revert back.

[elder pollen]

All that room in the popup to show exactly what’s in the hold and the exact protected cargo, but not the total cargo capacity?

[valid crest]

Yeah no kidding. I don't see why they messed with it in the first place. It was fine the way it was tbh and now they totally screwed it up

[scarlet nova]

Remember when there used to be hype after each update and a Q&A about it…no neither can I 😂😂

[sleek sorrel]

How about hiring a proof-reader / quality control person so you can get spelling correctly....

[wild plinth]

I don't see that on PC.

[craggy saddle]

The news is out tho, Have it on pc

[wild plinth]

Yeah, it just has a different top part in the news. I remember that event misspelling last month though.

[loud cove]

.👇 this is what I imagine the Devs looking like after pushing code Live in tandem while saying "hold onto your butts..." The irony is that this happens every month with each Arc release.

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤬 🤬

Is that the devs pvp range solution? What a bunch of BS.

[wispy laurel]

Why wouldn’t they. They changed Georgio’s burning ability because of the baby beluga whales.

[vocal plover]

Wtf

[craggy saddle]

Check pinned message in #👾-bug-reporting

[vocal plover]

Thanks! Going to deep space so im sol i guess haha

[craggy egret]

@wispy laurel absolutely correct. Anything that hurts the whales must be mitigated the moment everyone else gets access.

[mystic forge]

This raid tax is THE WORST THING YOU HAVE EVER IMPLEMENTED.

And that IS saying a lot.

In the 3+ years I've been playing this buggy, craphole of a game, I've put up with A LOT. But this raiding tax is just about the final straw

The one single good thing left in this game is the ability to raid, and the PVP that surrounds raids.

Why in the hell would anyone raid if you're going to tax it?

you already steal rss that players can't take when hitting one of our ships. 1mil over cargo protected limit, get hit by an E that only takes 76k - that's 924k in the crapper. Flushed away because scopely craps all over their players

Now you're doing the same with raiding?

You are the absolute worst.

THE WORST

You need to fire your "how to make the game worse and less enjoyable" team.

Why would you even have a team like that in the first place?

What's wrong with you?

[quiet peak]

So im wondering where I can find exactly how much cargo my ships cqn hold and now instead I have some píss poor abbreviation that makes it impossible to see exact cargo, and some stupid colored bar that does nothing for me because surprise I can do my own math and glance at cargo and go hey im at PC time to warp home

[harsh anvil]

I'm not happy with lack of precision of new cargometer

[warped vault]

Put back the damn SORT BY GROUP. in Officers.. and the exact totals for the mining ships.. Fack... put up Polls when you're thinking about making changes..

[wild plinth]

It's centuries in the future, they've lost the tech for accurate measurements...

[misty hedge]

Where’s the Prime Stella Cargo pack? The Vi’Dar is in the store.

[wild plinth]

Not active yet, I've seen posts indicating in the next couple days or so.

[devout ermine]

And again materials are capped in event store. Can get 1900 uncommon ore from event store, need 22.000 uncommon ore. Love it! ❤️

[green pumice]

The new rounding “feature” is not needed and actually takes away from the game, yes I have already submitted feedback on this in game

[lilac storm]

I was thinking the same thing about the numerical representation.

I like the use of color on the bar, although once full it’s all green. Instead make the portion over the protected limit be a different color (red, yellow, orange).

[green pumice]

It already is a different color when OPC, green is protected, white is OPC, all green is full

[fallen epoch]

Buy the Vidar to get the Stella prime is the rumour

[wild plinth]

I can confirm that buying/using the Vidar Prime Cargo does not make the Stella Prime Cargo show up in the store (at least, not yet).

[upper galleon]

Good lord... just sell this game to people who care before it goes bust...

[devout ermine]

Am I reading this correctly? Cath, a rare officer, needs to be upgraded to rank 4 to be 1% better than T’laan at rank 5, a common officer?

Rule number 10 much?

[wild plinth]

Pretty much. Cath's better at the same level between the two, but who doesn't have a high level T'laan already?

[winter sigil]

Please fix Discovery summoning.

[winter sigil]

@Scopely Please fix this.

[lilac storm]

It’s the all green when full I’m referencing. That can give a false impression and doesn’t help color blind players differentiate.

[sleek temple]

why are my miners no longer showing exact cargo cap, they have gone from 1.9 mil to showing 1mil seems i huge error there whats the point of working on cargo hold caps if they are no longer shown

[dire rose]

please fix this

LAgg lagg laggh

[ripe forum]

games laggy, unresponsive and unplayable. take some of that money you made and invest in yourself. otherwise this game isn't going to see 2023.

[peak narwhal]

I can read only things to improve, but scopley isn’t able to hear or isn’t able to improve… we are driving with arrows trough the galaxy… 21th century 🤦🏼 and I guess no one believe the words that the players feedback or words are important to improve…

[glad cradle]

They don’t read any of the discord messages.

[vale wasp]

Old Man was reading and replying just yesterday.

[peak narwhal]

Where? Not here yet

But nothing is happening!!! We talk our mouths fuzzy but nothing happens...

Nothing more… read the discord channel again…. Without words… but it’s all fine… sorry but I can’t find any polite words for it…. The reputation of scopley is lower as the lowest possible reputation ingame , and why we need more and more server merges? Why lose the game still player? That’s not random…

[vale wasp]

search his messages if you want to see where he posts.

servers will always merge because they turn off the new player spigot to servers as they age, and the population will only go down from there.

[peak narwhal]

Anyone can write! But to follow up with the right deeds, that's what it's all about! If it is pointless to be here, the server/channel can also be closed

Why the ppl left the game? … rhetorical question

[vale wasp]

do you think it's possible to retain everyone, forever?

[peak narwhal]

No, but we see nooo, definitely no improvement!!!

2 officers and prime researches as patch? Pls don’t tell us that’s a performance!

And pls don’t tell us about the content to see…

Only important is, the stakeholders will get money… That's not what the greatest franchise there is for!

Since the beginning of this game, problems / bugs have been nicely talked about.... Nothing more

Criticism is either called untruth or not so dramatic... that's absolutely over reality. Are we looking for the last serious praise for a patch or part of it?

I also say all this because I love Star Trek so incredibly!!!! I or you all want a good game and just improve it! But nothing happens!

The game could have to be millions of times better to do justice to Star Trek!!!! And that's what it has to be about. We all want a total Star Trek gaming experience! The game must live up to the love of the Trekkies. That must be the goal. Not with 3 pay researches, 2 officers and the senseless shot particles that increase the protected cargo...

[green pumice]

That’s true, but there is an exclamation mark icon when it’s full now which is nice

[nova sierra]

Hey Scopely. A lot of us across multiple servers have 2 accounts. Why couldn't y'all set up something that allows us to swap accounts on the same device instead of having to carry another phone, tablet or wait til we get to our computer. Sure would make it easier.

[craggy saddle]

2 accounts are actually forbidden by scopely tos so they wont give you a feature for this 😅

[nova sierra]

Damn. That ain't right.

Then how about merging my current account into the larger account that lost my phone and info on?

[craggy saddle]

Merging also not a thing

[nova sierra]

Thank you Treasury.

Ugh👿

Any ideas on how to get them to find my other account, believe I have tried everything

[craggy saddle]

If you didnt link it to either google play, iTunes or Scopely ID, there is no way I guess

[nova sierra]

Okay. Thank you

[craggy saddle]

Oh and, this might suit it. You arent the owner, so you aint getting it

[nova sierra]

Wow

[vale wasp]

I'd contact CS if you wanted to locate your old account. They're the only ones who could

[nova sierra]

Tried that. Even went back to old purchases to prove I own that account

[fallen epoch]

Scopley can merge your actual account on to a dead account if you have the user ID number of the account

[craggy saddle]

When did this become a thing?

[crude sandal]

It's been more regular since scopelyID came out and people started nuking their accounts accidentally

But even before then it was possible if you had both playerID

It's less of a merge, and more of an overwrite/re-link though

[gilded pollen]

Since the update, the display of the cargo capacity has been rounded up or down. I have almost 1.5 million cargo capacity.
This is bad. You know your own ships and their configuration.
Do I have real officers?
Did I activate an Exo?
how many attempts do I need to empty the station, etc.

It is inconvenient to use as you cannot see the exact capacity as before.

I would like the exact capacity to be displayed again at this point.

[analog plank]

Months ago you created better officer sourcing through officer metas. It has now went from unlock with time spent, to unlock with time and slb, to now time and pay.
It's now to the point we are back to where we were a few months ago. 90% of an officer with no sourcing options is still not a good sourcing plan.
Add in paywalled drydocks, ships, and now a tax on raiding? Please come to your senses and make the game enjoyable.
You can still turn a profit while engaging your player base, not alienating them

[agile slate]

You also forget to mention all the paywalled second builder, second researcher and second repair. So the rest of us have a permanent handicap because the pvp ranges and slb brackets aren't already unfair.

[lilac storm]

We already had the boxes on the ship icon to show full cargo.

[green pumice]

True, I like the color scheme change, it could be improved, but I think the biggest thing they did was take away exact numbers

[chrome cape]

Penalizing players for raiding larger bases? If anything isn’t that BACKWARDS!?
“Hey we fixed it so you now see the resources you’ll actually get for raiding….JUST KIDDING, hahaha, depending on the levels you may or may not get less or something , hahaha who knows!”
“Hey, we want people to raid, we built a new ship to give you large amounts of raided resources, JUST KIDDING, now we’ll take some of it away from you if you might be a smaller player and getting a little too lucky raiding a bigger player. Can’t have you progressing too fast without buying a pack!”

[ember halo]

What's with auto-attacks by enemy hostiles no longer counting towards event points? They are ships battling, and a win is a win, so why wouldn't they count towards an arc event?? Why does it matter if I attack the hostile, or if the hostile attacks me? If I win I should get the arc event points.

[craggy saddle]

Autofarming is a 0 effort task. Scopely wants you to spend more time in the game

Seize the playtime

[round sapphire]

Performance sucks even more than normal since the last update, this seriously needs to be addressed

[lilac storm]

The color change doesn’t apply to survey ships.

[craggy saddle]

It does but only when you are opc

[lilac storm]

That’s kinda dumb.

[vale wasp]

what would you rather it do?

[weary wolf]

I get notifications when a ship depletes a node but nothing when my base is attacked. Why is that? Why don’t you fix that.

[sour mortar]

maybe fix the pvp ranges....i am 39 and a 59 can take me out....I cannot take out a 19 by that logic why should he be able to take me out...being smoked by a 110 mil power ship to my 6 mil power ship seems a little out of balance

[glad cradle]

They're trying to keep ONLY the big spenders happy.

[tiny plank]

@sour mortar I sent in a ticket about that, I pretty much got a sorry about your luck response 🤦🏻

[tribal cloud]

I'd just like to say that I'm going to fully embrace this new world of raid taxes on my server, if it comes as planned. I'm going to be mercilessly raiding the poor lower levels below me on a daily basis, and when they inevitably fill my mailbox with hatred, I'll direct them to open a feedback ticket with Scopely and let them know how they feel.

This is the way.

[tiny plank]

Shield or share

[glad cradle]

That's a known problem for a while

[half saddle]

BIG Thank you for adding sort by Trait to away teams!!!

[astral mountain]

Game won’t let me upgrade my ship, says I don’t have enough resources but I have more than I need of everything, another player in my alliance reporting the same thing

[craggy saddle]

check pinned message in #👾-bug-reporting

Its a known issue and will most likely never be fixed

[astral mountain]

No workaround?

[craggy saddle]

No, just more ressources. Can you send a screenshot of the upgrade you want to do?

[astral mountain]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/650703877284429838/951255822992810065/image.png

[craggy saddle]

How much trit and dil do you have?

[astral mountain]

98B trit and 314M di

[craggy saddle]

Then you might wanna exchange more dil tokens. Should be able to upgrade afterward

[astral mountain]

Just added 5M more and same

[craggy saddle]

Hmm, the rest is fine though. It cant be ore or crystal, neither the ship parts

Neither Trit as you got more than enough of that

The Dil you need could be like 40m mpre

more*

[astral mountain]

Someone told me to just go do another round through the refinery and that should fix, will let you know

It was dial, even though it says I needed 312M I had to have 327M

[craggy saddle]

Thats the faction efficiency bug for ya

and it will get worse and worse each time you do a new research

[astral mountain]

Thanks for the assist

[misty stirrup]

Oh it's even worse with this new update getting tutorials and crap I don't need since been here for over 3 years lol and the lag on it now is so shifty that even after I cleared localization and reinstalled I swear it has gotten worse and yet I can stream and game on other things andeven tablet just fine but this game. And the cost their charge and have thistle of issue is laughable wonder if they are part of the bumbling biden administration that the world is laughing at cause seems scopley is acting like it. What day is it oh and there is no lag it putin lag. Lol

[rapid arch]

This tax idea is so stupid. Seriously. Should be a tax for hitting lower lvl players. Not bigger. I’ll always want to hit bigger players for the larger resources. That’s the whole point right!!!! Really really bad idea. Might even be the last straw that makes me quit.

I guess the logic is,
Big players hit small players.
Small players quit or spend money.

Sounds more like scopley than there excuse. If big player buys a pack and let’s smaller hit him. Smaller player wouldn’t crack the station and spend years getting through the steel. So stupid.
Also, if I’m lvl 35 attacking a 50. What’s the cargo of my ship going to be. Spend years raiding thy big player. 🙈

And what’s all the resources without the materials anyway!

[mystic forge]

I wonder how many other top level alliances on EVERY server are having serious discussions with all of their players about people leaving and the detrimental effect that the money grab tactics of scopely are having on the game?

[gaunt lagoon]

Dear Scopely, this is to make you aware that you are in violation of your terms of service. Your contract with players of Server 22 and indeed all servers says:

“As part of the Services, we offer you the opportunity to play with your friends or other matched opponents who generally align with your overall skill level in-game. These matched opponents maybe auto-generated players that look and play like real people.”

Skill is defined by Merriam-Webster as:

Definition of skill 
1 a
: the ability to use one's knowledge effectively and readily in execution or performance
b
: dexterity or coordination especially in the execution of learned physical tasks
2
: a learned power of doing something competently : a developed aptitude or ability.

The current disparity in both power levels and ship power is being abused by high level players to inhibit and prevent lower level players from playing the game, many of whom have paid appreciable sums of money over the years that STFC has been in existence. When most of the higher level players with over-powered ships united in one alliance on the server, they have decided that they will dictate the terms of service and who will have access to game play. Failure to build parameters to allow access is breach of contract.

As you can see from the above definition of “skill,” it infers a competence and ability level. Level 50 players with 10, 20, 100 million G5 ships are not “aligned” with levels in the 20s or 30s or G3 ships.

It is in your best interest to find a way to allow all players to be aligned fairly. Our server is at war because of one Goliath alliance making game play impossible and unenjoyable. Many of us have sunk money into this game and we ask that you resolve this issue.

Here's an example:

Please correct this.

[bleak gorge]

Summoning is not working...

[opal ingot]

Nerfing the visual cargo capacity to an abbreviated number in the last update? Please return to the full number. We visually like to see the exact number, especially when raiding. Thank you!

[sonic venture]

Everyone ready for "Prime Raiding" where you don't pay the Whale Tax?

[tame dove]

That treasury change is absolutely one of the worst ideas I have ever seen in a video game. So indescribably tone deaf to not just the wider player base but how people play this game in general that it makes me question if the point of this game is to do anything but cater to an extremely small group of individuals who are living out some kind of escapism based on Star Trek.
If this change goes through as planned I'm gonna quit for sure. Played less last month than any in the last year, and this will be the end.

[gaunt lagoon]

You won't be the only one!

[tranquil pelican]

remove th tax

[zinc swan]

Can you please update battle logs. Not having all the information is fine, but the logs lying is not.

I was only recently made aware that regardless of what logs indicate, opc cargo is lost in pvp losses. Please fix your logs so they indicate as much!

[thin garnet]

RAIDING TAX IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! QUIT DUMPING ON THE F2P/DOLPHINS, AND QUIT MAKING THE WHALES GODS!!! THIS WILL KILL YOUR PLAYER BASE SO FAST!!!

[zinc swan]

Is that what they call it? "Raiding tax" that opc cargo is lost in pvp losses, regardless of what reports indicate?

And I agree, it's a garbage mechanic

[thin garnet]

Nope
New building coming soon, the Treasury, will impose a penalty on the raider draining anyone 6+ levels above them. Me at 35 would get penalized hitting 41+

[zinc swan]

Uh, what?

[thin garnet]

https://youtu.be/yvM6-yc9ANQ

[spark finch]

its like the first half about taxes makes no gameplay sense, but tack on the prime particles and we might accept it? naaaaaaah

[zinc swan]

Yep I think we should all start making tickets daily. Stating:

Fix the lag/delay on scanning and commands. Do not impliment raiding tax for treasurey building!

[sudden sparrow]

Hey scopley, that raiding tax is complete BS

[tranquil pelican]

remove th tax

[tranquil pelican]

Nope never,no way.. # remove th tax

[glad cradle]

Someone predicted the game will die next year; I’m going somewhat quicker. If Scopely continues the way they’re going, the game might be dead by Labor Day 2022!

[spark finch]

9 months from now? no really Monday, September 5 ...so less than 6 months

[glad cradle]

I’m referring to the United States Labor Day; see 👆

[hollow quail]

This raiding tax is absurd. Maybe add a mechanic that allows people to shield their base so they can’t be raided….oh wait, that exists! First these terrible arcs and now this. Might as well move on to a new game.

[glad cradle]

So many games; any suggestions?

[rapid arch]

Penalty for attacking bigger players.
Wowwwwwwwwww.
How obviously can you love the whales. Not even trying to hide it anymore.
If I don’t quit, I’m 100% not spending money on an amalgam lol.

Their reason lol what a joke.
If I’m lvl 35/38 attacking a 50. My best cargo hold will take years to raid that player.

[glad cradle]

PC or mobile

[glad cradle]

Anything that's f2p or via grind, I agree, no more $ for them.

[gusty fractal]

Another month of mine&hostile. Game quality is going to negative: it's better to do another kind of advertising video, not ships while they are fighting but while they are wainting to reset mine

[frail lotus]

I wish that this was a text error and it was intended to hit down 5 levels you get taxed but punching above your weight should not be. Catering to a minority over the majority- surprise surprise

[cerulean wadi]

Scopely; why oh why do you close support tickets without fixing the problem? I have been in IT for nearly 50 years and NEVER have I seen a support ticket system that closes off tickets without either fixing the problem, or, asking the reporter if it is ok to close. I have generated numerous reports about the game crashing in iOS and each time I get the “it’s been passed to the development team for action and we are closing the report”. After each new release, the crash problems get worse, this latest arc is no exception. Isn’t it about time some attention is paid to fixing the problem? I know it’s not just me getting the crashes, and I know it’s not just iOS getting crashes, android users get them too.

[glad cradle]

Try sending that text to them via email. Make sure to include the game (STFC), and your player id. Check the contacting-support channel for the email address. I will only use email to send support tickets anymore. This allows me to keep a record of the status much easier then screenshots. When sending in a ticket, tell them to not close it until you give explicit instructions to do so; and only after being asked if you want to close it.

I'd be curious to know what kind of results you get.

[jade venture]

@brittle crescents RevDeuce is right…there is no logic to the proposed “raiding tax” with the treasury building. Why would you release new material that invigorates the raiding aspect of the game (Amalgam, Rom) only to negate those things with a mechanic that only serves to protect VIP players who are essentially untouchable by anyone who is not a VIP. Either find a way to make this mechanic more equitable to all players at all levels or drop the mechanic altogether. I vote for the latter.

[fading adder]

@brittle crescent I think this new building is a terrible idea. We have a problem with getting new players. Personally I rejoined the game after 4 years of not playing.. my level was only 22. I got to level 31 been f2p in 2 months. One thing I love to do is raid... why would you punish smaller players for raiding bigger players?? Its already harder for us to open. It should be other way around. Punish bigger players for raiding smaller players.

What's the point in me raiding when I'm losing 20% plus when some is 3 levels higher.

You should do it... you lose 20% if you are raiding someone 5 levels lower. This way small players aren't bullied out of game and we can grow.

This new rule makes me just think.. well I might as well quit.. it takes all the motivation away... let's say I open someone and I'm raiding with an horizon or even envoy when I was lower... losing 20% of that tiny cargo already would destroy it for smaller players.

Make it the other way around and also increase level.

[lost forge]

So in theory a player 5 levels above me can raid me and take everything I got. Then should I have the chance of raiding them back, I will not be able to do the same to them because of the new scopley tax they plan to attach with the new building. Scopley releases a ship that helps raiding and before the free to play path for that ship is release scopley has a building that protects larger bases from that ship. Star Trek Fleet Command does not need a raiding tax that protects only big players.

[glad cradle]

It's not 3 levels higher, it more than 5 levels higher.

[wild plinth]

I rarely got raided by people 3-5 levels higher than me in the past. It's usually 10 levels...

You're essentially a piggy bank to the whales.

Oink oink.

[true turtle]

<@&509690795536941056>
Hey scopely, you are really screwing up this time. The treasury building is the absolute worst idea in its current design. If you are goin to apply a penalty for raiding it should go the other way. This is blatant proof that scope is pandering to the whales. WAKE UP!!! This will destroy the game because when lower players get raided by a whale but then can't take it back why should they continue to play? This game is already SEVERELY imbalanced and you are adding to it. STOP PANDERING TO WHALES!!! Yeah, sure they spend the most money but if you alienate everyone else they are going to quit and then the game dies. Pull your heads out and balance the game for the small spenders and ftp players.

[weak grove]

what treasury building are we talking about? i don't have this :o

[glass horizon]

The raiding tax in the treasury building is such a scummy idea and totally not needed. Great building ruined by one bad part!

[kind quail]

Instead of resources tokenisation, i suggested them recently, they bring another bomb on low levels...

[wild plinth]

@weak grove It's a new building that'll be released soon. Some people can inspect it now though, and have posted screenshots.

[weak grove]

ah okay thx

obviously it's stupid, i'm against it 😂🙈

[true turtle]

Im.not going to build it because the rewards are not worth the 20% raiding tax

[wild plinth]

Well, we don't know 100% how it's going to be implemented, but my take is that it doesn't matter if you build it or not. The tax applies if they have the building, and you know the whales are going to build it right away to protect themselves from you.

[true turtle]

If that is the case then I will build it, but scopely needs to change this

[cerulean wadi]

Now this is the annoying part, I did all of that last time; sent email, stated not to close ticket without referring to me first - not that it did any good. It’s just totally unprofessional.

[glad cradle]

It's supposed to be available next week.

[glad cradle]

Agreed

[glad cradle]

From what I've seen, the tax gets applied whether you build the treasury building or not.

[jagged solstice]

Don’t turn on the taxation of hitting higher players. Thank you.

[hidden spire]

You want us to raid and you are going to start taxing us for doing so? That doesn't make much sense

[weak grove]

ah okay thx

[weak grove]

it should be the other way round in fact. if the attacker is more than 5 levels higher than you, they should get less stuff.

that would make sense at least

[wild plinth]

Only if you're catering to the masses and not the whales.

[rapid arch]

Hey Whales. So we sold you the amalgam. You can now raid faster.
Hey everyone else, if by some miracle you can raid a whale back, well we won’t let you get all them resources back.

Cheers now, bye bye 👋

[heavy marten]

I would like to know the fixed issues in latest AppStore release M40.0.2. Thx.

[still fractal]

As one who has been raided, and does occassionally participate in the raiding of others, I must ask the question:
Why does Scopely only support the INVOLUNTARY "sharing" of rss, and not the VOLUNTARY sharing of rss that were PAID FOR BY PLAYERS??

Isn't that the functional equivalent of encouraging bullying over cooperation?

Isn't it unethical, to penalize a paying player, for helping their alliance, which is one of the stated goals of forming them?

In terms of gameplay, why isn't this penalty used to Discourage hitting down? Don't you normally want players to challenge themselves rather than victimize the less powerful?

This proposed 'tax', is a markedly poor decision, a discouraging game mechanic, and a threat leveled against your financial model.

Don't.
Do.
It.

[rapid arch]

Still mad about this tax. But something new has arising today.

I love pvp
I say ooooo a feesha pvp event. Could be fun. Only had the feesha it for one arc (it’s release) so not been able to tier up further than t2 yet. Due to how they source us the parts.
Ok so where is my zone.
Oh it’s a warp 80 zone. My feesha is warp 42.
Hmmmmmm.

I’m confused. Am I supposed to be able to take part in this event. Or do scopley expect me to pay for packs to be able to pvp, which is part of the core to any mmo.

Am I missing something here people?

[rotund rune]

I am NOT happy that SLBs are on now, during a ceasefire that encourage PVP with Feesha etc. This is TERRIBLE TIMING !!!

[tight drift]

is there any word on when the two new prime researchs that aren't in the store yet are going to be available?

[craggy saddle]

Stella in a few days, repair in like a week or so

[brazen oracle]

This is a simple fix - make the raid tax work in both directions. Why can't scopely understand that without the little f2p guys, the whales won't have an economy to raid? To be successful in this game, you have to plan for the long term. You should try doing that with your business model, scopely

[tight drift]

Excellent, thank you

[rapid arch]

If it was both ways. Negates each other. So simply, just get rid of it. Or use it to protect the smaller players. Not the bigger. It’s a terrible idea.

[mossy coral]

The idea that you would steal (“tax”) something players have earned playing your game and doing everything that is involved in raiding, which is all ready a painful process. It so incredibly short sighted and ill thought out that I do hope you listen and remove it before you add one more straw to player’s backs.

[lost beacon]

Other then the complete lack of anything worth doing in the game so far this arc just like last one. Just means a lot less game time for me as can't be bothered wasting my time doing nothing

[sonic venture]

Raiding already sucks (Who wants to sit there and click attack again and again), so you added a ship to help in the raiding (Cool, ultimately less clicking, but I have to pay for it... which sucks), now you add a tax if I dare to raid someone higher level than me (and x amount just disappears off the server, thus reducing the overall RSS in the game, thus lining your pockets further with more necessary packs)

I'm really getting tired of this.

[chrome thorn]

The tax is stupid and Scopely is greedy

[stark wren]

Dear Scopely. A Whale I am not.. but I do spend 1-200 here and there which will disappear soon if this keeps up. This arc has been one constant kick in the no nos for us medium players. You are catering to a very small subset of players and alienating the rest of us. So you aim to punish me.. a 37 who has grinded and worked tirelessly to be a strong player... for having the gall to raid a 42?? Yet.. that 42 can probably one shot me unless I have my best defensive set up going, (in which case its 4-5 shots) and you're ok with that? If this comes to pass.. I am done with your game and will move my $2000 a year ish spending elsewhere.. hope you hang onto those easily bored whales... until the next shiny thing comes along..

[onyx mulch]

Any idea how we're supposed to get the other half of our Epic Luck Token Chest pull? The premium battle pass milestone 4 rewards 400 tokens, but a pull is 800 tokens. There are 800 tokens rewarded later on in the battlepass, but I can't find another way to get the missing 400

If there's an event that rewards 400 later, that's pretty bad because then players without the premium battlepass will get a useless reward that they can't spend

[mild scroll]

FIX THE LAG after this new update omg it's near unplayable. Impossible to PvP, even mining is difficult!

[vale falcon]

Simple question, why do you allow 3rd party companies to miss represent this game to new players?

[north ruin]

5 days waiting for a response to bug in game. Added 2 more. Get your act together or lose another player.

[scarlet geyser]

Anyone know when they are starting the tax. I’d like to know when to delete this swirly of a game.

[sudden sparrow]

Because they quite literally don’t care

[civic turret]

Nice to see dopely still hasn't fixed this crap. Too busy milking whales.

[glad cradle]

I’m sorry you’re having issues; I haven’t noticed anything that bad when I’m playing.

[inland umbra]

#fix 3star material economy. With 5star material out now, 3star should not be a bottleneck

[fervent flume]

<@&509691205798592532> any infos on if the golden shield will expire or will be extended?

[weak kayak]

I LOVE the new coloring for the protected/unprotected cargo. My eyes are a bit old. lol

[obsidian viper]

Apx 3years 5 months. Of play. I have skipped 2 battle pass packs. Spent 0 in 2 and a half Months.. just as much fun as spending. Lol. It's all about friendship and fun. ... keep up the good work

[rough belfry]

Punishing players for hitting up? That is super ridiculous. <@&509690795536941056> please tell Scopely they have lost their minds on the design on the Treasury building. Parsteel, Tritanium, and Dithlitum are not the bottle necks in the game. So limiting how much we can raid from players is beyond worthless.

[rich elm]

You may want to increase that 1 parsteel that I get for spending 5000 faction credits

[wild plinth]

You're a Good Samaritan, not a gritty hardcore mercenary independent. This is proven by "donating" 100's of millions of resources for pennies on the dollar in misc missions. Therefore 1 parsteel is the correct reward...

[neon swan]

also got one of those, all i have to do is eliminate a 5million power yellow hostile... not much

[vale falcon]

Really? We can't afford to give everyone a ferengi dvor through cosmic cleanup? You'll give a second amalgan(£89) over however long but not a £20 ship? How does that make sense? It was the same for the introduction of a path to the players first Stella. I put my hand in my pocket for my first, I set aside event currency for my second but now a big gob in the face for thinking I'd be able to get one free 😡

[halcyon cave]

they dont care about players, they just want money. if you poor because you need to feed your family first, they dont care about you

99$ this and that, who the heck has that kind of money to pay for PIXELS that dont really exist?

99$ will buy my family food, or some shoes for my girls... Make it more reasonable 10$ here and there wont break us. but feeding us to the whales, thats just stupid

[clever orbit]

people on my server leaving the game due to these constant free 7 day shields on EU stopping raiding totally

i get why they are given, but i don't think people fighting for their country give a crap about their stfc base

plus there are also pro-war people on my server who are getting the free shields too, so it doesn't really help anybody

[halcyon cave]

Don't make a game about politics dude. this game sucks but has nothing to do with the state of the world

[tardy dew]

Why can’t u talk to other member in the cross server event from other servers

[vale wasp]

it's on the list of planned upgrades to the event, see the pinned message in G-C

[clever orbit]

they are giving EU free 7 days shields on everyone because of the ukraine war, so you're wrong

its on its 3rd week now

[halcyon cave]

The game sucked well before that

[clever orbit]

you're not making any sense, i'm criticising the shields, i don't care what you think of the game

[halcyon cave]

Again the shields have been there the whole time. most are always shielded anyway.

[clever orbit]

people drop shields all the time, i'm not sure you're understanding, the whole EU has been shielded for the past 2+ weeks now, auto shield, so afk people who are normally raided, and active who forget to shield can't be raided

the only people who aren't shielded are those who purposefully drop it

[muted idol]

Correct and makes the game just a mining game, which is totally a bore

[clever orbit]

and people are leaving because of it

people bought amalgams etc, now can't raid anyone lol

and there are pro war russians running the Z symbol on my server getting free shields also

nothing against russians, there are those against the war on my server too

anyway rant over 😛

[twilit agate]

Thank you very much, Scopely for listening to the community 🙏🙏🙏

[halcyon cave]

Here is an option. I hear what you are saying. Maybe allowing people stuck in those servers to port to a new server and leave the ones that are dealing with RL issues in their own server for now. When the conflict is over, maybe they can port those player to another server.

[kindred prairie]

I could see the argument for a shield and lock for all EU servers and then once you sign in and mark yourself safe then the shield drops and you can play. Then only those who never logged in would have a shield and be presumed to be impacted by something IRL.

Kind of like the prompt before you cross the PVP level.

[cunning bison]

I can appreciate there are world events going on out with the control of Scopely, but I am absolutely fuming that you have extended the orange peace shields yet again for another week. the amount of Ukrainian players on this server is really small but by putting these shields on you are ruining I huge part of my gameplay. I recently purchased the new station attack research and have been unable to use it. Many players purchased the amalgam ships and now can't use them for raiding. We as a server have worked on a solution where Ukrainian players can identify themselves by adding a UA at the end of their name tag so that nobody will touch them. By putting these shields on you as a company are denying my consumer rights by not allowing me to participate in all aspects of the game especially when myself and others have purchased items and upgrades to assist with our raiding practices. This is a disgrace and should be rectified immediately. Surely you as a company can identify where players are that may be affected by the current crisis rather than being lazy and implementing a blanket solution across all.
Yours sincerely , One very angry and dissatisfied customer. 😡😡 S155

[kindred prairie]

I'm constantly amazed by how many people think burglary is the only fun aspect of the game.

[cunning bison]

It's not the only fun part but it's a huge part of mine. The fact I've paid money to assist this and can't then I have been denied my consumer rights by Scopely selling a product I can't use.

[kindred prairie]

You can, when people stop dying.

[cunning bison]

This is a game not real life.

[kindred prairie]

Right, so put it down for a bit and experience real life. Or raid the people who are opting-in to PVP by dropping their shield.

[clever orbit]

if scopely cared about war there would be regions constantly under shield, there are wars constantly in the world

[cunning bison]

Exactly

You're lucky if there are 40 players on our server who are Ukrainian

[clever orbit]

on my server we have a system we are all protecting, people who are effected by the conflict go there

and we have a UKR territory which the whole server is turning up to protect

[cunning bison]

Yes we also have a neutral alliance that has a territory that nobody touches and is open for all to join if they wish

[dense timber]

How do I update Scopely.exe on my PC. I don't have a Launcher or a Link to Update my game. I CAN'T PLAY THE GAME AND NO RESPONSE FROM Fleet Command Support!

[tepid valve]

A genuine thx to Scopely for ditching that bs raiding tax and adding Amalgam bp to Cosmic Cleanup 👍🖖

[molten sparrow]

Why do incoming hostiles no longer count towards hostiles killed?

[craggy saddle]

are you autogrinding?

[true turtle]

Wonders never cease, at least they ditched the tax, now if they could fix the extreme slow play issue...

[potent crystal]

Any idea when the treasury building will be released @surreal condor ?

[craggy saddle]

If so, it doesnt count anymore

[surreal condor]

Soon. I don't have the exact date though yet.

[potent crystal]

Thanks dear

[craggy saddle]

I think I heard somebody say on the 15th

[potent crystal]

It could be on the 17 St Patric day event

[clever orbit]

raiding tax, at least you guys can raid lol

raiding tax at 100% in EU :p

[molten sparrow]

Sometimes, yes but even when hunting in hostile territory I get nothing for defending

[onyx wolf]

Enough of the ceasefire shield please, with today's it will be 3 weeks.... I pay to play a wargame! Not space mining online..

[craggy saddle]

You dont defend against hostiles if you dont autogrind

[potent crystal]

I am having fun at spaceville 😂

Stockpiling for the war days to come 😝

[onyx wolf]

I have enough saved up to last 2 months of daily refines, from now it's just a waste of time..

[potent crystal]

It’s not mandatory you know

You can always burn your free shields by attacking

Or letting a full cargo ship next to an enemy’s base to be attacked so he burns his shield 😉

[onyx wolf]

Attacking miners? Don't tell me u call that fun?🤣🤣

[molten sparrow]

I was attacked 4 times waiting for an armada to start. What do you call that?

[craggy saddle]

an armada is always an attack

[potent crystal]

There are always ways to make someone burn his gift shield

[craggy saddle]

If you get attacked while waiting, you are defending

Defending doesnt give points

[potent crystal]

Yes, you must press the attack button

The auto grind is over for months now

[molten sparrow]

Great. Another "improvement" to make the game that much more frustrating

[molten sparrow]

Only the last week or so on my server

[real shale]

can Scopely fix their alerts?

I can't get an alert when I'm attacked or being raided for 20 minutes to save my life, but I get every single away mission, every single build/research completion, you name it.

is this by design that we just don't get alerts anymore for stuff that actually matters?

[kindred prairie]

There are two kinds of alerts. Local alerts and server alerts. The local ones are made by the app on the device and are based on a timer. Those work.
The server alerts require the server to send the notification when an event happens in-game. Those are not working.

So, if it's something you did that has a timer, you'll get an alert. For things other people do, you won't. They know.

[gentle valve]

Rounding error.

Rounding error.

Rounding error.

[thorny dirge]

The Ukraine war will likely be longer than a few weeks and there is major infrastructure rebuilding after it is finished no matter who wins the war. It would be great if the company provided permeant protection for the Ukraine players. Time wise its at best a year and worst case several years.

What about your Russian players, will this company be refusing service to them and be shielding them as well? Its not their fault Putin is invading Ukraine. They too will need to have shielding.

[sand cosmos]

how many shards till max

[viral kelp]

too exact t be a random number, you have already max shards for that one, but need to raise him two tiers

[thick bloom]

did they change the hijacked ships so they can be scrapped? I'm not building any if they won't serve a purpose later

[sand cosmos]

then why am i still getting shards and not TPS

[sand cosmos]

nope

[thick bloom]

sad.

[sullen wadi]

Kudos for eliminating the raid tax before it launched.
Now please fix the damn notifications.

[undone edge]

Does Scopely test ANYTHING? And do they get embarrassed at all?

[torn patrol]

Stfc.space will have that info in a searchable format

[civic turret]

someone should tell dopely that paying for a chance to win something is gambling. perhaps a complaint to the FTC is in order.

[tacit jay]

PLEASE revert the change that truncates the UI display of the amount of cargo my miners have.

Seeing “2M” across all my miners means nothing when some might be 1,500,001 and others could be 2,499,999. This is horrible. @twilit mango

[waxen kite]

unfortunately, the "tax" functionality quickly overshadowed those benefits and the team saw that clearly.

glad they admit when they fail

even if its sounds a bit salty

which is funny as its coming from "the team"

[hoary kite]

Horrible lag for Android players in server 200 since the new arc started

[wind dock]

The new update is causing a huge lag and signal lost not for me since I have a SAMSUNGS S21 I expected a smoother play

Yet you want to merge sever when you can't even matinance properly what you have despite the money people plunge into this 🤔

Sort the servers before merging or the be chaos

[neat pier]

Great work on listening to feedback and removing the raid tax before it is released. Much appreciated.

[sand cosmos]

fastest ive gotten 2 traders

[icy umbra]

Scopely- you appear to have deleted my post which wasn’t offensive, just pointed out your support shortcomings and how you didn’t adhere to the 24 hour “promise” (took 4 days) and then didn’t answer the question (I asked if I could spend money with you to buy a battlepass for a member of our alliance having some life challenges and you replied to tell me I couldn’t transfer any battle points). I find it worrying that you carry out this kind of censorship - my comments are completely justified and supported by the screenshots I have. I did not use profanity… this is a new low - you now remove the negative comments. I can draw comparisons with the current media control in this sad European conflict and I find that truly alarming. Deal with your incompetence. Deliver the support that £200 a month average spend should receive. Stop breaking advertising rules by making fake promises. Publish the truth. But most importantly, answer the question in the support ticket, don’t make up an answer to a different question

[gilded needle]

Guys do i missed something, or you just reversed change that were meant to prevent strong players raid lower ones for their alliance by using an argument that if you attack +5 lvl stronger base you will lose 20% resources? WOW.

[craggy saddle]

It wasnt only 20 %, but yeah, they took back the tax

[gilded needle]

Ehh i looked forward to ir (i am 26 in 30-36 world )

[craggy saddle]

You looked forward to loosing ressources?

[gilded needle]

What resources? I cant ride lvl 31 base ...

[craggy saddle]

Of course you can. It takes some time but nobody tells you not to do it. And you could always ask your alliance

[gilded needle]

oh well its official now so nothing can be done :)

[craggy saddle]

Who tells you nothing can be done?

[untold orbit]

The tax only applied when hitting up. The ops31 attacking you wouldn't have been taxed

[brittle veldt]

Make Treasury chest drop prime particles for op 39+ not op 40+
Why baiting players? 🙄

[craggy saddle]

Theres not much reason to stick to 39 according to some people anyways because 40 and 40+

[upper galleon]

Someone on Facebook put it very well. Scopely started building something that I didn't want and now wants me to pay for it to be completed. Sure, I don't have to pay, but until I do I have to look at this everytime the game loads up.

Honestly, part of this complaint has to do with anger at myself. Until the Ferengi arc I spent 20 dollars to unlock the battlepass each month on this overpriced game, to finally realise I have invested in nothing.

[dire rose]

Star trek fleet Lagg, to make the game more challenging we have added extra game lagg, so now when you open resource chests, try to attack ships, recall your ships or any other actions we've added lagggg as a new feature. Seriously a few month ago you allegedly fixed the lag problems with most of your common tasks - there have been several "patches" since then and the game has got to the point where the Laggg is beyond annoying!!

[glad cradle]

Are you using an Android phone with Android 12? If not, then it might be partially your phone and partially Scopely, causing the problem. Ever since I went to an iPhone SE 2020 (2nd edition - from an iPhone 7), I’ve had very little lag, but the glitches are still happening. I’m also having almost no kick outs.

[dire rose]

No I am using a PC with Ryzen 7 5800X, 32Gb memory, RTX 1080 graphics card, 1Tb SSD, and 100mb internet connection

[glad cradle]

WiFi or wired?

What OS?

[dire rose]

cable, windows 11

[glad cradle]

I’m not a hardware expert, so I’m not sure why you’re having trouble.

[dire rose]

This game is almost static compared to other high end online games I play yet lagg is terrible

poor code

[glad cradle]

I’m on a Windows 10 laptop with a WiFi connection. No real lag, but glitches galore. Do you sometimes play on a mobile device?

[dire rose]

I had similar problems running windows 10, yes I do play on Galaxy S21 Ultra not as bad but still glitchy

[glad cradle]

I’m assuming that you force close the mobile game, before logging in on the PC. Is that correct?

[dire rose]

COD, FAR cry, Forza all play like a dream with far more going on than some ships moving around the screen

it auto logs out of mobile

[glad cradle]

When logging into the PC, the mobile app can’t be running in the background. It has the potential to cause issues with the PC version.

[sudden elk]

I wonder if this is channel that Scoplay ACTUALLY reads & pays active part by listening.

KEEP RAISING THE BAR ON ALL EVENTS AND REWARDS..... MORE AND MORE PEOPLE WILL QUIT PLAYING. MYSELF INCLUDED.

[dire rose]

how is that then?

[glad cradle]

They don’t read any channel. Only the mods and devs read them.

[sudden elk]

I figured as much. Scoplay doesn't even know us little fish exist. I spend some money on the game.... but no where near the hundreds a month like others. The events are getting so ridiculous that I'm fixing to QUIT PLAYING.

[upper galleon]

Also, when you try contacting the Devs directly using the @ function, they ban you from the discord server. So, they really don't care for the feedback unless you are a whale or a CC. Thanks to the content creators for holding Scopely somewhat accountable.

It is very likely many of us with valid criticism have been muted.

[gilded needle]

i found partial solution to it, you need restart client after some time ( i think it is RAM issue)

SImply something is wrong with code and it clogs it...

And regarding critics on Scoopely... first time on my MMO history i see that developer undo changes community not wanted at all :)

[neat totem]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/747237291658838119/952226257473523772/wombo.mp4

[dire rose]

@gilded needle a memory leak then, they have had them before, this is more like a poor event triggers, the game runs bad even when first loaded - they should be able to load a local cache of the system on the users client so it would run smoothly, when the user goes to another system clear the local cache and store the next system. It seems like everything is loaded from the servers, probably to prevent code injection or tampering - like a game cheat from running maybe

[gilded needle]

Possible, i jsut restart client after some time (depends how patient i am ) and it works fine for 30min +

It mostly happened in my case like month ago.

i had no that issues previously.

Chromebook , Android btw.

So iam free from Windows :)

[dire rose]

mobile is not as bad as PC client

[gilded needle]

And more... sometimes game lose graphics

[dire rose]

closed and restarted

[gilded needle]

I bet they work on it, not so easy to eliminate that problem. Could be even impossible.

[dire rose]

its the same for everything I click on not just one part of the game

🤣

[glad cradle]

Robbed sounds better 😆

[lament umbra]

10+10+10+60=90 not 100

[dim mulch]

[runic grove]

What about those of us that already spent in the event?

[stable timber]

Maybe one of them runs more than once?

[untold orbit]

Usually it's like that yes. Nothing new here

[dim mulch]

what the heck... my comment got removed?!

I rarely post feedback, and that is how it gets treated.

[glad cradle]

Certain complaints that are posted are getting removed by the moderators.

[dim mulch]

nice to know what is really felt about feeback.

I did not use foul language

[vale wasp]

Pease follow the language rules of the discord #🌠-rules-and-roles12

[glad cradle]

Send it directly to Scopely by email; they can’t delete it.

[dim mulch]

what rule did i break? sending a general link to a puzzle doesn't help.

[vale wasp]

PM me

[dim mulch]

so... because i realized there was an event feedback channel and posted my comment there since it was a better fit, both get removed and i my feedback is dismissed no matter how valid it is.

as i said, good to know how feedback is really valued.

no worries, im done posting on this server.

i was not rude, or disrespectful... simply to the point. if my opinion is not valued i won't bother wasting my time or money.

[vale wasp]

If you want to know the reason, pm me.

[quasi hinge]

Hey, this new cargo update is not great. I went to send a survey to token space but noticed game is rounding my survey cargo with both Stonns from 1.8m down to 1m. I check all stats and now say 1m. Please return it back to actual cargo capacity number.

Positive feedback - thanks for making Amalgam available in Cosmic Cleanup

[tardy crest]

The game has been extremely laggy, and nearly unplayable, for me today. I'm on the server where 48 and 49 just merged.

[humble plank]

so I been having the internet icon thing on either red or yellow most the day then cleared cache on my phone and now I can't get my game back on my phone

[tidal tapir]

These character story snippets leave much to be desired… I’m not sure this matches up with Rom’s character at all 🥸

[wild plinth]

He needs a goatee if it's mirror universe Rom.

[hallow pumice]

Moderator moment

[hoary blade]

No it doesn't mess rom rom wasn't super big on profit he was more interested in mechanics

If they had where you could put a crew on your base he would be the perfect base person for repairing a base

Hell if it meant where you put a crew on your base so that when ships come in the base that it speeds up the repair some of those would actually be worthwhile instead of having annoying crew that are worthless

[civic turret]

this game is so f'd up. been f2p for 3 years and watch a noob buy his way from nothing to 11 million power in less than 2 months. No incentive to keep playing. This game isn't going to last for too much longer.

[upper galleon]

Which will be really messed up for those that spent money on the game.

[civic turret]

going to be nothing but whales and they will eventually get tired of dumping thousand in a broken games that never gets fixed.

can only rebrand the same endless game play so many ways.

whale syndicates driving players away.

[hallow pumice]

They're the ones who chose to spend on it, they should know, that the games going to die eventually, so yes, it's money in the trash, cause it's not like the business is using it to help make the game more friendly to players or making it much better in general

[wide kestrel]

@quasi hinge ive noticed the same in my cargo on ships now its not as detailed as before and it does make a difference or they would not have messed with it ...my opinion...hope they "fix" that back to how it was.

[fiery trench]

Amalgam in Cosmis clean up, yay, but why the way it is introduced as it is? In the past ships in the cosmic clean up store where kind of 10% of bps per pull, Amalgam is 8% - requiring 13 pulls to get one (granted you got the time to not let a single CC event pass) - as CC was kind of left out in the breaks vetween arcs that would be 3 CCs per monts, requiring 4 months and a bit to get it

[vale wasp]

you're not gonna like sarco's rate

[fiery trench]

yep, but the Sarco is an utterly useless ship anyways... I wouldn't even waste ressources on it when I am that bored

WIth people running around level 50+ and easily removing Sarcos anyway on our soerver... well, they never were great, nowadays they are just taking space in the hangar

there are those moment when I ask myself whether the devs actually play the game and looking at the Sarco I get many of those 😉

[vale wasp]

there are plenty of servers where sarco is relevant, if everyone's g5 then your server's past that, but if there are a lot of g4 players still then there's quite a bit of value there

[fiery trench]

it wasn't really a thing for us when there were no g5 ships either - now it is just worse

the Amalgam has the store that gives you HG WOrf and some refit stuff, ven though it is painfully slow, but at lest there is some added value

as for territory takeovers it is more like a gazillion of 2* ships and the lag will win it for you

no need for sarcos

[wide kestrel]

once again there seems to be a disconnect on what is needed in game and what developers think we need in game ...real vs vision or ideas about game....access to Dvor is not at all issue I have had 2 Dvor one I paid for and the other I got fro. armada chest...the issue has been and still is the ship parts! only available in Lat monday event in small nearly non accessible for 97% of players not in top 3 positions to even get ship parts...and cosmic clean up...where as you see we still are not guaranteed any ship parts at all and so there is the main problem in need of fix...not access!

[fiery trench]

if you are talking about server where 30 people on each side show up for a takeover I am with you... but then again... is that the desired state of active population?

[fiery trench]

well, that is another one of those issues - as people were told for quite a while not to go t9 anyways... as in the beginning scopely had removed the parts refinery once you hit t9. After people realized a t8 with mk9 drive is good enough and more of those are better... quite a few realized they either had to pay for the feesha or wait a long time

then again, aside of the extr alat - the feesha makes mondays just way more painful in lat rush, so easy enough to skip it as well

[vale wasp]

the environment determines the value, and it's possible your server never had the right one. Your players can shape the galaxy how they want, and they shaped differently

[fiery trench]

it serves no other purpose thansome extra lat and upgrading itself

[wide kestrel]

@fiery trench I slowed down my spending after the time they gave away prime officers to everyone after I paid for it few months earlier...kind of made me upset that I spent $108 usd on something then after they gave it to everyone mine seemed like it did not make the same difference in game as before...now they have new one available....my opinion all who paid for prime officers in the beginning should automatically have new prime officers research for free so it puts us back to status we had before it was given to everyone..ya know?

[fiery trench]

if the players leave because they are annoyed... what do you shape? I find the overall feedback for the ferenghi arc rather consistent, same as certain topics being brought up again and again by the player base (like the daily time consumption), but that is just my opinion.

[vale wasp]

annoyed at what? that amal takes 13 runs rather than 10?

[fiery trench]

well, you paid zto have it before the others, so you get an advantage. Like having a feesha or an Amalagam early and maybe having 2-3 tiers advantage to most other players - do I consider that okay? I do... if it doesn't widen the gap for f2pplayers too much - lately it just seems f2p is widely disregarded

[wide kestrel]

@vale wasp honestly I am happy they put that ship in event store now I have something worth doing that event for🤣

[vale wasp]

f2p just obtained access to a p2p ship, a newer one at that, so I don't see how it is that they're being disregarded

[fiery trench]

no, annoyed that the overall feedback is often ignore... unless it is a major outcry. Look at the intended tax scheme for the new building, which had basically only one purpose: protecting whales from losing ressources to smaller players, whilst it is perfectly find that a 54 is emptying a 35, yep you can shield, no, there is no balance

nothing that couldn't be foreseen

[vale wasp]

The tax was removed

[fiery trench]

yep... because of a major outcry, as I said

which could have been foreseen, hence my question whether the Devs actually play their game..

[vale wasp]

Scopely's literally listening to players right now with everything

[fiery trench]

or read the feedbakc of the players... anyway the whether is nice and I will do something productive in the garden, have a nice day

[fiery trench]

listeing and listening... 😉

[wide kestrel]

@vale wasp the environment could be way better if rewards in event store had a guaranteed amount given ...kinda discouraging to grind for hours and spend the limited amount given for grind on a chance given reward system that has let me down many of times at least 95% or more of the times trying to get needed parts for dvor and vidar only got things I didn't need or wanted.

[vale wasp]

dvor's parts have always been slow, and the only two sources that matter are the refinery for efficient, guaranteed growth, and through end of arc event stores that should be considered as important to buy now. We now know that we need to max one, so we just need to wait for the next store

[wide kestrel]

this is not guaranteed parts ..yes it gave me small amounts but most major parts i got came from 1st place winning multiple weeks in a row in lat mondays in solo event....and not as easy to do now at higher level than before lol

[vale wasp]

that's not a source, ignore it and stock the galaxy tokens for the next ship to enter the cc store

unused galaxy tokens are worth more than what that offers

[wide kestrel]

@vale wasp stocking things for next things ...is a personal problem ive been trying to accomplish since beginning this game...my ocd won't let me have red indicating dots saying I have something available to get and not get it🤣🤣

[woven flare]

Why has scoply changed the view on cargo hold amount from exact amount to nearest million 🤷‍♂️

[craggy saddle]

Not even nearest million, always rounded down

[woven flare]

Even worse then lol

[static wagon]

I want the exact cargo size back and not the rounded crap! At the moment I can't find any place where I can see that. That was the last one. And for me it's relevant and making a big difference if the ship has 2.2 million or 2.8.

[red frigate]

since last bp update the performance sucks very much! I get kicked out of the game so many times. Clearing the cache and game data didn't help either.

[glad cradle]

Android or iPhone

[vivid hedge]

S155 take over lag is worse than ever, makes the whole things complete waste of time. When are you actually going to get this resolved!? It’s been here for some time and feels like you have just given up on the whole thing.

[red frigate]

android

[grizzled dagger]

Are they killing the game? The say there fixing things but they are making the game unplayable for alot of people. It's has become another broken game that's all about money.

[empty dawn]

STFC was never about the player experience tho

[grizzled dagger]

I know it's about the money but if a game don't work then there's no money. 🤣

[hot grotto]

could of warned us about the server clocks changing scopeley

[glad cradle]

Android users that upgraded to Android 12 have been having problems. After switching from an iPhone 7 to an iPhone SE 2nd Edition (2020), I've had very little lag. I'm hoping it gets fixed soon. Are you able to play on a PC or laptop?

[dim hemlock]

Events missing. No anomalous phenomenon event? We depend on that event every Sunday guys. What gives?

[craggy saddle]

comes an hour later because they messed up DST

[dim hemlock]

OK

[lament umbra]

Here is some feed back making only rare and epic armadas count for points is a greedy move. On top of
That you'd need to beat around 50 rares to finish event

Thats only defeating them

Or 30 epics

[glass fulcrum]

I’m on server 40 and the game is absolutely crawling. I dread the next active takeover.

[plucky swan]

Super duper Laggy today. Can we get that addressed ? Some teammates can’t even get game to load

[untold orbit]

While I really dislike these armada events it's not that bad as you describe. Just hard to win if you only want to leech off others. If you start 1 rare + 1 epic and get into 5 rare + 5 epics (so a group of 5 people starting 2 each) finishes event for everyone

[lament umbra]

Unless you want to buy directives then its unreasonable who has tons of directives just saved up

Il give you that startong a rare gives 20k pts but if you dont have directives saved up its unreasonable.

[untold orbit]

As long as you only ever spend the rare+ epic in events it's possible to save up

I managed to complete the last 2 of this type and close to getting this one as well. F2p that is

But like I said, they shouldn't run armada events too much. Since there is no good way to source the directives

[lost slate]

My only complaint to Scopely is email ticket handling. I do not mind the up to 5 days for a response, but I do hate them closing the ticket before I acknowledge their information and force me to open a new one on the same issue. Clear they have not worked in a Tech Help Desk

[turbid rose]

I find that since Scopely provides weekly station shields the game is much more balanced. Players who want to go at war can still play that trend among them, players who want to play peacefully can too. And we can easily move from one group to another. The perfect balance. you Scopely 😀

[untold orbit]

Some would call it boring. It's way harder to get rss now for upgrading things

[sacred garden]

I don’t know about everyone else, but I refuse to pay outrageous prices for cosmetics and a broken ass game that seems to have more and more issues every day and many of these issues were supposedly fixed 3 yrs ago.

[civic turret]

Getting tired of this crap

[glad cradle]

I call them the pink nodes of death! 💀☠️🏴‍☠️

[hallow pumice]

Time to spend more then if you want it, your $100 money ain't worth a prime if we're being honest, but scopely will still charge you for it, and no, it wasn't intentionally given away in the BP, as they literally said, it was a mistake but due to backlash kept the option available for players to get it instead.

And yes, literally everything gets devalued as time goes by, especially in a game like this, $100 for 100 rare 4* gas? Nah can just get it for free now

[grave wagon]

I really like to get the exact amount of max cargo in ship details at least. It’s really #&%!! To can’t know how many you can dig with your miner

[winter sigil]

Could we have the default view of a ship to be zoomed out all the way instead of zoomed in? It's a hassle to zoom out every single time I select a new ship or start the app. Thanks!

[kind steppe]

Something is broken with gas effiency when upgrading ships. Upgrade says it cost 118 unc.gas to upgrade. I had 119, got a message that i did not have enough. opened up a milestone reward so that i had 232 unc.gas. did the research and. now i have. 106 to spare. 232-106 = 126 while the initial cost is said to be 118. that is a 7% higher cost than it says.

[nova sierra]

It’s been this way for quite some time now. Bug is on the client showing you you need less than you actually do. It’s just a(n annoying) visual bug though, not more is taken than should be

[kind steppe]

Well its clearly taking 126 when it says it cost 118. So either the visual bug is that it is showing less than it should show or the bug is that it is taking more than it should. As a reference its not same with the crystal in my pictures. I had 1275 and it cost 828. And i have exactly 447 crystal left (1275-828=447)

[nova sierra]

It’s visual

The reason it’s different for Crystal is that you have an extra bonus (probably) - ‘C for Klingon ships’ or something in galaxy tree

[kind steppe]

Barely got any research(done) for crystal while i have all i can for gas at ops41

[nova sierra]

There is no research for gas for Klingon ships

[kind steppe]

Ah now i understand what you ment.

[crude sandal]

Ships are showing (visual) as if all faction-specific research applies to them, even if it's not a faction ship

So yes, some materials will take more than it says on the frontend

[nova sierra]

In your case there is two that apply: ship component in outlaw tree and the material efficiency in territory tree. Those are universal to all ships

[azure nymph]

After last update can no longer Farm hostiles and get daily rewards for it

[crude sandal]

Have you gone up a faction banding, and/or hit the 1500 cap for rewards? (cap shouldn't affect dailies/missions/events... but you never know)

[kind steppe]

Thanks. Understand now. Fells like a simply thing to fix but among the other bugs i guess it has low priority

[crude sandal]

They tried a few times, it just breaks differently each time 😂

[azure nymph]

Nope everything the same just don't get daily rewards unless I initiate the attack

[crude sandal]

Right, yes, they've stopped auto-killing from counting for a chunk of things lately

[nova sierra]

Thanks @crude sandal for explaining way more clearly than I ever could 😊

[kind steppe]

When they get a mac version 😅

[nova sierra]

Apple chipset or intel?

[nova sierra]

What really annoys here: That the display often lags behind the game (on Smartphones, GalaxyS20+). That the game does not run stable ( ⭕ Scanner). Often only the restart remains. And you wanted money for that? 🤣🤣🤣

[kind steppe]

🤷🏼‍♂️ macbook pro with touchbar

[nova sierra]

Can this not look like it belongs in Minecraft, please?

[balmy ibex]

Why the disparity between displayed cost and what it takes from you? Tritanium cost displayed vs what's left after installing. Linked to the "not enough resources" error when trying to install an upgrade

[crude sandal]

Display bug, all ships are showing as if all the faction research is applying to all ships, regardless of what faction (if any) the ship you're upgrading actually belongs to

supposedly, anyhow

Although

That's the supposed base values from stfc.space

[glad cradle]

Many Android users are having issues after upgrading to Android 12.

[crude sandal]

But your screen, and the amount actually deducted, suggests that something is taking more than it should?

In fact, more than it should with 0 research...?

https://stfc.space/ships/1307832955?tier=8&scrap_level=1&ci=0&tiers=@:1%26:9&c=$description:true%26build_cost:false%26components:false%26scrapping:false%26crew:false%26ability:false%26levels:false%26fp:false&component_stats=1&t_r=0

@stable timber , are you able to weigh in on this? Are the base numbers in stfc.space still accurate? Any thoughts on what would be making the numbers in game be higher than the base?

[vale wasp]

the component is mislabeled

[crude sandal]

Oh

that's a t8?

ffs 😂

[vale wasp]

by his ship level, yes

[crude sandal]

course it is

[stable timber]

SCOOOOOPLEYYYYYY!

[crude sandal]

Sorry to bother you 😂

[stable timber]

I don't even get how they get the MK wrong

It makes absolutely no sense, at all

[crude sandal]

No database links anywhere, all text free-entry

[stable timber]

With no sense, I mean it shouldn't be possible

[crude sandal]

lots of copy pasta

[stable timber]

No, the MK isn't part of the translations which makes this so weird

[vale wasp]

maybe it's a sticky graphic, or it's actually mislabeled. Hard to say

[quick marten]

Daily and Station Event time refresh is separated by 1 hour after day light saving, can your please fix that?

[kind steppe]

Concentrate latinum not scoring points or delayed?

[white glacier]

Delayed, unless you mean battlepass in which case it's not included in the scoring

Specifies RAW Latinum

[ruby grail]

Pulling miners did not score today

Horrible arc Horrible pay outs horizons lag

Horrible

[crude sandal]

usually it all settles down a week or two later once other regions have their DST

[nova sierra]

C’mon scopely, when can I get another warp interlock for a second Feesha. A month and a half in and still nothing…

[weak heart]

This final Rom event is just silly. its not worth it.

[spark elbow]

Fix all of your buggy code, upgrading Enterprise required 234.1m trit, I had 460M after the upgrade I have 111M . 460M -111M = 349M trit. Why did it show that I only needed 234.1M?? BUGGY CODE

[vale falcon]

Please make the 4* faction mining rewards like the 3* faction rewards. if im mining ore please give some crystal/gas. the persistent need to float sums of each is greatly taxing and it does not have to be

[daring elbow]

@patent nova what is Scopely doing to address issues with lag during territory battles? It is literally unplayable when the territory is heavily contested.

[west oyster]

Hello everyone👋 I’ve been experiencing issues with my game for over a month now… the issue is that I have not been getting my ship/station attack notification but I get every other notification that the game provides… I have sent several tickets to scopley but instead get this respons every time…😕

Anyone else having this same issue?👀

[surreal condor]

I've played for over 3 years and notifications have never been consistent. As such, I don't rely on them.

[wild plinth]

I think the game's been pretty consistent on how inconsistent the notifications are. 😛

[spark elbow]

So the company that wrote the code has no control of when and what notifications are given

[nova sierra]

Notifications should not be so inconsistent since it is all built on the AWS platform. Every other app on my phone has no problem with push notifications. It's not the memory or specs. Scopley needs to be more transparent with issues and stop gaslighting when they know it doesn't work.

On Android I asked about the fact that music plays every time I start the game. They told me it is a device issue but it is really an issue when they are loading settings in the startup process.

They need to be more responsible as an organization.

[west oyster]

I’ve played for 2 years and haven’t had an issue tell recent…

[surreal condor]

You've gotten lucky then. They've never worked well for me.

[brazen oracle]

Hey scopely - if you're going to run an Armada event, FIX THE NOTIFICATIONS

[lethal bridge]

Why do you start so many Armada Events. In the past the Armadas were a very nice part of the game to play together in an alliance. Now it is a part of the which many players hate. We must save our armada directives for events and when an armada event starts there are too few Armadas and you must search many hours.

So you broke a nice fun part of the game.

[magic fox]

Really?

[untold orbit]

So about the new sourcing for rare armada credits. Doe Scopely know this is only for paying players? F2p will have to use their cosmic cleanup to get a while range of ships first (including the next 13 weeks for amalgam).

And paying players could just buy the directives in store anyway

[glad cradle]

I believe this one has been available since the beginning.

[sage ravine]

Don't worry. give it a few months and they'll add a new ship to the game and add prints to the cosmic cleanup store, so we can continue to get ship prints from cosmic cleanup instead of rare directives.

This was an awful way to source rare directives for f2p players.

Now we need to choose between ship blueprints for specialty ships or a small amount of rare directives so we can have an easier time with the sms armada events to source rare/epic officers f2p.....

[digital flame]

the key to the treasury was not given

[glad cradle]

Gift chest soon

[muted coral]

Awesome. Was waiting to hear it’s coming

[hallow finch]

Released but not fully released then?

Did they provide a timeline for when it will show in gift section?

[glad cradle]

Usually by event reset

[muted coral]

If I was ever gifted a starship and asked who to crew it with, I would definitely not choose any employees at Scopely. If they used the ‘cap’n it’ll take 3 weeks at least to fix that’ and then fixed in 3 days, I may consider but they can’t even rock a TOS Scotty

[bleak kiln]

So, this treasury thing is a payed feature? besides, can'T find any token anywhere in the game

[muted coral]

Hi Bouma 👋 and no we should get a gift chest with the key from what I’ve read

If they catch up on their coding

[bleak kiln]

should...ok

[bleak kiln]

thanks btw. and hope this is true

[muted coral]

Me too

[glad cradle]

Gift chest at event reset likely; the paid item is the desealing rod for the lock box.

[gritty stirrup]

Fron this beautiful elegant bank of 4y to this ugly mushroom builds… realy @opaque phoenix

[opal tide]

Where do we get the key to start it? I’m level 19 but it did say the first one was supposed to be a gift at level 15??

[glad cradle]

Close to event reset most likely

[opal tide]

Ah fair

[muted coral]

Goody goody yum yum. Looking forward to a new building

[glad cradle]

I ain't paying $ for the rod that unlocks the lock box! Heck no!! 🤬 🤬 🤬

[muted coral]

I don’t think we have to pay for it. They’ve said it’s available from from ops 15 so should just be a chest

[glad cradle]

Read the description; the desealing rod is in the store. Usually that means $ store.

[last nest]

gullible i see

[muted coral]

Would you still love me if I was wrong?

[last nest]

dont know yah i just dont want you to be shocked its still a pack lol

[muted coral]

Haha it’s almost always a pk 😉

[iron rampart]

Anyone else missing the key to build the treasury?

[opal tide]

The rod is to open the “bonus chest” it fills with resources. The perks from the building will be nice either way. Even if you don’t open the chest

[opal tide]

I never go it. Might be at reset they come.

[iron rampart]

Hope so

[errant heron]

Why penalize lower players for attacking higher levels? It should be the other way around.

[weak grove]

we need to buy things in the shop to open the vault when we filled it up? are you cereal, scopely?

[glad cradle]

Gift chest around event reset

[glad cradle]

They made a mistake; the tax was supposed to have been removed a couple of days ago.

[muted coral]

The key to the treasury involves throwing a ring in the fire, working with a Slartibartfast to build a new Earth, killing a Vulcan then resurrecting them, saving Gallifrey from its pocket universe and getting yourself a super cool colored light saber

Easy peasy

[vale falcon]

what is the point in making the pc client launcher remain active if it does not update when you close your main window? i had to close out entirely to push the most recent update

[glad cradle]

It's supposed to check for an update when the launcher starts, then it updates the game. That's what happens when I use it.

[muted coral]

I’m guessing you’re from the US? Tax is inclusive in most countries. What the price tag says is what we pay

That said, still not paying for this building unlock

Tax inclusive or not

[glad cradle]

The tax was if you raided someone more than 5 levels above you. It was removed two days ago. The key to unlock the building will be in your FREE gift chest section. The only thing you have to pay for is the rod to open the lock box.

[muted coral]

Okay. Missed that memo. I don’t raid much though

[spark vale]

Here's a typo

[brazen oracle]

I am 3 rare armadas away from finishing the Rom event, so I won't be finishing it. I'm in an alliance of around 60 people and everyone ran out of directives. I missed out on a bunch of armadas because the notifications were broken. If you want to disenfranchise and discourage your player base, Scopely, this is how you do it

[tame dove]

Cynical theory time: During these Treasury events loot from killing hostiles and daily goals will be auto-placed in the Treasury. Meaning that if you don't buy the unsealing rod once it's full you will lose the daily rewards and hostile loot collected if you don't make a purchase.😂😂😂😂😂 Great idea Scopay 😂😂😂😂

[limpid dragon]

@patent nova @ancient canyon upgraded Treasury to T6 but only have 106 pts in Elite event

@surreal condor @lone summit @vale wasp

[surreal condor]

It's a known issue. We will update when we hear what the Event team plans to do about the missing points.

[echo bolt]

Why would I ever, EVER, want to pay real money for something I already earned in game! Scopely….biscuit well and truly taken!

[kindred siren]

How about a quick announcement?

[surreal condor]

We can only announce what Scopely authorizes... and they haven't given us direction on this one.

[devout valley]

Can anyone access the Treasury directly? I have to go through the construction Go button. All other buildings can be entered directly by tapping on them. Am I missing something here?

[vale wasp]

You should update your game. If there's no update, uninstall/reinstall might be an option or just wait longer for the play store to populate the update.

[indigo sentinel]

It says in the gift section of the store. That's where we get free chests, tetryons, transwarp cells, etc.

[ebon relic]

Absolutely ridiculous this game crashes repeatedly & literally every 5 minutes or less. I've deleted Data, cache, switched networks and my Android version of the game keeps lagging up to 10 seconds or crashing. Server is overloaded, hanging processes and/or mismanaged. Game is unplayable.

[halcyon cave]

Let's see how much money these greedy devs will ask to "unlock" the "riches" in the treasury... one desealing rod $99

[kindred cradle]

They need to compress the storage files, the app takes a lot of space and gets larger with every update

[ebon relic]

Compression would help. However deleting data during update would be better. After I delete Android game data, cache & restart game it takes up less than 700MB. Before deletion data alone takes up almost 3GB.

[kindred cradle]

I see what you mean

I have the same problem with my game aswell, I can barely play the game

[glad cradle]

It's going to cost between $5 and $100 depending on level. It definitely is paid item.

[grizzled tartan]

It's @surreal condor 's code, blame her

[surreal condor]

https://tenor.com/view/thumper-blinking-im-innocent-gif-12972554

Mods are just volunteers. May want to direct the shame to the proper place.

Maybe read the #🌠-rules-and-roles12 channel where that is clearly outlined too.

[craggy saddle]

Why would the Discord moderators be to blame because of bugs ingame?

To moderate the Discord

It is. It has been several times before already

Scopely tried removing the 10m lock

They did

People complained

I think less than a week, it was reinstated.

Same for the scopely Tax

Then why did they reinstate the 10m lock? Why did they remove the scopely Tax? Gimme some time going through the logs and i can give you more examples

[last nest]

um sir they only listen to the $100,000 spent server not here

lol

theres another server for big spenders and thats where they listen to feedback

[craggy saddle]

You'll have to do more. We have one of those on 177
We even had to create a petition

I think about 200 people reported him, and 60 or 70 signed the petition

That guy also spent money

I was in his alliance for some time and I barely saw a day without an alliance gift

[zinc swan]

Please fix command delay/lag when ordering a ship. Also, can you please change this? 1 significant figure is not helpful. 2-3 sig figs is great

[hidden bay]

Can you grind g5 ship bps?

[surreal condor]

Again, we don't work for Scopely so we can't tell you what they think. You need to send those to Support.

[vale wasp]

If you think his messages of hate shouldn't stick around, why do you post it here?

[craggy saddle]

Rule Number one

The mods here are not for issues like that.

You need the mods of scopely and those are not here

The only way is tickets or mails.

So i suggest you start writing them till that guy is banned ^^
Get other people to do the same

Get as many screenshots as proof as you can

Then dont do it

[vale wasp]

Contacting support is the process. They'll never tell you when action is taken, so punishment may have already happened for the previous infractions. Keep at it so long as the behavior continues.

[craggy saddle]

What I noticed: First action taken is usually a 14 day chat ban. If they continue afterwards, about a month, if they still continue, they are permanently muted

again, report him over and over again. Here, you reach nothing about that

[fallen epoch]

I didn’t see your screenshots but I think I know who you are reporting and he has been muted and banned previously for his words. 👍🏻 carry on if he says anything and he will get permanent mute like was said above

[glad cradle]

There's a seven letter word I can't post here or I might be discord banned. Hopefully, that would speed up the process of getting rid of these hate filled people.

[vale wasp]

That's not true, I know action has been taken against players espousing hate.

If the players on your server have given up on reporting, and sending in tickets, then nothing will change.

[zinc swan]

Again, you're interacting with mods and players here. Developers may monitor the channels, but you need to do in game support tickets for each in-game infraction to terms of service.

Berating the mods here does nothing

I'm just saying this a feedback channel. Think of it as dropping a note in one of the "how was your service today" boxes.

Support is the method to communicate with developers and in-game moderators.

There is also a block functionality

Which you did. Now youre badgering anyone who tells you it has been noted

They take actions for repeat offenders, they just will not tell you what actions they take.

On my sever several players got temporary mutes, a couple got suspensions, and I think one got banned.

Go through the proper channels. Don't berate unrelated players or mods.

You implying the discord mods are responsible for in game behavior

You once again claiming mods here should be responsible for in game behavior.

[harsh shuttle]

Cool update! My ship strength only dropped by 1M for no apparent reason.

[zinc swan]

You ignoring advice on how to deal with problematic players in game

[craggy saddle]

Its because faction research was falsely applied

Your ship now shows its true power and it will not make any difference in combat than before

[harsh shuttle]

But.... It's not a faction ship

[craggy saddle]

Thats exactly the problem

Faction research was falsely applied

To every ship

[harsh shuttle]

Well then, I've been swinging way above my weight 🤣

[craggy saddle]

Again, your overall strength shouldnt change. If you were able to kill 5 37s with a franklin a before the update, you can still hunt down 5 37s

[reef mulch]

Did anyone ever figure out the cargo size drop? Mine dropped 1.2 million

[zinc swan]

No, messages that violate discord ToS were removed. You shared a message with hateful rhetoric. The discord mods did their job

[vale wasp]

If you know it's not allowed, then don't do it.

Are those the only two rules you know?

#🌠-rules-and-roles12 here is the list of rules for this discord.

[zinc swan]

No discussion or inciting of refunds / boycotts / uninstalls or lawsuits or legal action against Scopely.

That's the one you're missing Chelsea

[vale wasp]

You'll need to ask CS for that info.

I have no idea, but they are the correct people to contact if you want to escalate to higher ups

[zinc swan]

Or you can file a complaint with the better business Bureau if you really want to escalate things

Just please stop spamming and throwing a tantrum here when you know it's not the right forum for it.

You're insufferable. Blocking you! Cheers!

[void spade]

it is just SAD...

unbelievable... for every single point they do well they have to screw something up very hard...

TREASURY: Nice... Very interesting and useful buffs 👍👍

Lockbox PAYWALL: wtf?? slowly it feels like they try to squeeze out all money possible!? Guys, nothing against earning money... but what you did this year... this amount of greed fits surely well to ferengies...
and then the absolutely bonkers idea of this "tax", that fortunately could be prevented. Thanks for listening to the community in this case 👍 only to come to the idea that this could be a good idea and will be accepted by a community that has been forced to pay good money if they want to grind properly for buying the amalgam weeks before!? And then nerfing all other surveys with this too?? Wow...

but well... more and more players scratching theire heads...
Amalgam paywalled till last Saturday... 6th dock paywalled for 50 bucks... now lockbox paywall... really???

the free to play and low spender guys aren't happy... and if you kill the grill the whales will suffer soon too.. just saying.

the real stupid part is that they simply don't recognize that it would be enough to GIVE a grinders path... make it hard. force people to put effort in. yeah... maybe make it even stupid grindy... but don't cut them off.

scopely wants to earn money.
got it.
do it. 👍👍

let early adopters pay for an early advantage BUT show, with the roll out of a new feature, a grinders path too... Let this PATH last a month, or two or maybe 6 if you rate the depending gimmick precious enough. but show it from day 1, not 2 month later... or a year...

and, beside this: instead of implementing new bugs and bringing back old ones it COULD be a GREAT idea to fix OLD, long known, issues first!?

first and foremost FIX THE LAG. please 😏☹️

[sage ravine]

Has anyone else been dealing with extremely severe lag since the update? The game is virtually unplayable for me right now.

[dusk tulip]

We should be allowed to swapping officers at anytime and or location if you have the officers AND you should also be allowed to swap officers between ships also! I mean, this is star trek...transporters ya know?

Are you using Android or iOS? Most of the issues are with Android 12.

[rich belfry]

I got reduction ship component TritanDili yesterday. researched. k'tinga then only needed 1.5 B trit. now restarted and there are again 2.2 B trit, !!! Joke ?!

[craggy saddle]

That is because faction efficiency researches, in your case Romulan and federation, were falsely applied. In truth it always cost 2.2B

[rich belfry]

no faction Research , iso Research

[craggy saddle]

So you say you don't have any other faction research but klingon?

[sage ravine]

Android

[glad cradle]

I haven't heard about a fix for the issues, and whether or not it's a phone or game issue. Do you have the game linked to a Scopely Id?

[sage ravine]

Yes, I have it linked to a Scopely ID.

[glad cradle]

OK, this is what you need to do to get back into the game. Make sure the game has been force closed on the phone (not running in the background). Assuming you have a Windows 10 pc/laptop (I don't know what other operating systems will work; and you downloaded the pc version), just run the game using the Scopely Id you created. One benefit to logging in once a day using a pc, you get a bonus 24 hour gift chest.

[sage ravine]

So the solution to a mobile game no longer working properly on a mobile phone is to play the game on a computer instead? TBH, if I'm loading up my computer to play a game, it's not gonna be this one.....

[glad cradle]

It's only a temporary solution until the issues can be fixed; unknown when that's going to happen. Contacting Scopely Customer Service will not likely yield a satisfactory result. They'll tell you the problem is with phone; when in reality it's probably both the phone and the game. Other than that I'm sure what to tell you. At least by using the pc version, you are able to make sure your base is shielded properly. That's the best I can do with limited information.

[lilac storm]

Ugh, these bugs are driving me nuts.

When I logged out last night I had a ship repairing and a 12 hour station shield active. When I log in this morning, about 8 hours later, my shield timer shows no active shield and the ship which had been repairing showed as unrepaired. I had to reload the app to get it to show an active shield and repaired ship.

Oh and my Treasury Elite event scoring is still not fixed.

Tell me why I should spend a penny on a game which consistently produces a buggy product? With all the money grabs you’ve done this year so far you should be able to afford some better quality control and testing BEFORE pushing broken code out to the players.

[craggy egret]

All mining events should include a pirating (steal) option, especially during a ferengi arc.

It would be nice if daily mining goals had that option as well.

People keep begging for pvp, this is where it actually pays off.

[warm canyon]

Why is there not a territorial pack in offers that has phantom particles

[lost robin]

A way to search for older event leaderboards would be nice.

[loud stag]

Your support is terrible!

Every time I open a ticket your staff just brush me off with a generic response instead of reading my message

I said that some people received too many points by mistake, I get the points will be rewarded response
I said I keep getting a bug with cloak where I get a 6m cooldown after killing a hostile, you say cooldown is working as intended (cloak duration yes but not the cooldown after cloak you clowns)

[kindred cradle]

I swear! The lag is crazy!! Can barely play and the app size increases so fast! 2.25 gigs of space is taken up by this game

[nocturne prawn]

yay, first treasury event and you need to have it built first.. and I still dont have access to my account since the update sigh

[surreal condor]

What happened to your account? Sorry if you've covered it before. I can't be on 24x7.

[nocturne prawn]

After the update it was an entirely different account, google was logged in but it was a different server and different random name, it doesnt help I had kept the random name on the first account either, so I dont even know what the username actually was on that, only the server and the alliance it was in

[surreal condor]

I'm assuming you already tried contacting support via email or from the wrong/new account?

[nocturne prawn]

Yeah, I havent had any response, I dont know if anything automatic is sent but if it is I didnt get that either

[surreal condor]

Did you do email or in game?

[nocturne prawn]

from the support page on the Scopely website

[surreal condor]

Ah ok. Can you send me in PM: screenshot of the current/wrong account player ID and the correct account email. I will see if our support contact can look at this. I can't promise it will happen before the Treasury event though. 🙈

[nocturne prawn]

Thanks Jess, will do that

[strong burrow]

Given it's Paddy's day can we get access to this avatar again? Cheers, Paddy.

[slow nimbus]

So just hit Glorified and was checking out my new dailies. It's annoying, but I've gotten used to the tiny, incremental increases in rewards as you move up, but if that wasn't enough, they actually take away something and you no longer get any recruit tokens with the faction daily for hostiles and mining. Small enough thing, but just the kind of sand in your shoe that takes the fun out of an accomplishment. Sigh.

[sour dew]

Critical Success for Away Teams has not been working correctly since last update on Server 29

[craggy saddle]

How so?

[halcyon cave]

i have lost so much interest in this game it is ridiculous. I got Anthem for free on xbox and it has much more content then this crap. No Paywalls everywhere i turn. I wish someone else could get a license for star trek as well, and design a better game. But it would be someone that is not greedy.

[balmy spear]

Drop rates on the refinery are absolute garbage. 6 pulls in a row on Gas: no uncommon drops. At all.

Give us the ability to ratio the refinery drop ourselves and take RNG out of the equation, your players progress should never be left solely up to a constant RNG gamble or event drops.

If you need rare, you can slide to get more rare, but you lose out on common and uncommon drops. It's simple. It's FAIR, and will take a good chunk of absolute SLOG out of progression.

Whomever in the development team thinks the current rates/system is even remotely acceptable any more needs to find another job and never be allowed to work in game development ever again, and that's the nicest of my opinions.

[random ridge]

Does scopely have a way for players on servers with King makers/coalitions to avoid such player driven toxic mechanics as the only way out is to quit the game or start anew on a separate and hope it doesn't occur there.

[wise notch]

Would really be nice to get into the "manage" menu option for mining ships....

especially when every ship is busy and you don't want to move a mining ship just to be able to check something on it !

after all, the "manage" menu is the only one where you can look up certain ship statistics for one of your ships with the current crew bonues added

[manic yarrow]

Terrible lag on 14 and they screwed up the treasury event

[glad cradle]

They pulled it

[viral kelp]

there are some move to fix that rounded numbers on ship cargos? now i dont know what can hold my ship as it says 1m even if it can keep 500000 or 1499999 .... only chance to guess something is to look a lucrative mine but still innacurate

[exotic cloak]

When you going to get rid of this absolute joke

[glad cradle]

Never; I believe it's been there since the beginning.

The least they could do is increase it to some meaningful amount £90 for 2 thirds of what i can refine daily is a right joke

`FluffyUnicorn — Today at 18:16
@everyone Greetings Commanders,

We have postponed the Treasury Events to deal with technical issues, we appreciate your patience and will let you know when it will be reactivated at a later date.`

I'm getting really tired of this.

The excuse is valid once. Not every friking month every damn time you add or modify something to the game.

Please actually TEST your game before releasing updates. Thank you.

[analog plank]

Just wanted to say thank you for the comp chest assuming it was bc of the syndicate event and treasury not working. Quick to attack when things are wrong should give credit when something is done to right

[craggy saddle]

Huge thanks for this

[dusk palm]

Ditch the avatars in the alliance store. Wasted space.

[nova sierra]

Nice! Thanks...

[brave prairie]

good morning. i am very unhappy about the changing that not active killed NPC ships dont count anymore for events. not in general a big issue but looking forward to a crucible of war milestone event and a small alliance trying there will be surely no chance anymore to get this done like before. please think about this gap that will bring kind of unfairness

[untold orbit]

Now if only they made sure everyone actually got the chest....

[idle pewter]

I have two accounts on eu 169
My lower account is played using a ipad everything works perfectly fine
My main account is played on a Samsung galaxy tab it's actually newer than the ipad
The keyboard keeps disappearing and causes the game to crash I've repeatedly raised it with in game customer services
Even if I don't use the keyboard the game crashes every 5 or so minutes
Will scopely ever actually fix this ?

[glad cradle]

Android users have been having issues ever since they ungraded to Android 12 (maybe even before). Ever since I bought an iPhone SE 2020 (2nd generation), I have never been kicked out of the game! 🤞

[idle pewter]

I like the game but not enough to switch to apple (ipad is my sons) , hopefully scopely at some point fix their software on android

[glad cradle]

It also be an issue with Android 12.

[idle pewter]

Yep possibly but scopely need to fix it not leave it or expect Samsung /android to accommodate scopely

[glad cradle]

Scopely hasn't been known to do things that won't make them money.

[robust knoll]

Have any of you had an experience where about 50k worth of points in the faction daily Rep events weren’t awarded when you spent the rss? Kind of stuck now, unless I burn 3d worth of speedups to spend again for the points. Will customer service award the rep & credits after the fact if I submit a ticket? (Yes, I’ve spent rss since, and got points for those, but not the missing 50k)

[silver aspen]

Why the heck do we have this new Cath character instead of Ishka?

[small plover]

Is the war in Ukraine over now that the peace shields haven’t been renewed? 🇺🇦💛💙💛💙💛

[torpid kelp]

It's unbelievable that you still can't manage to lump level 50 players with level 46 players in the server event

[echo bolt]

New officer Arrock allegedly increases conc. lat mining speed by 6500%….not seeing a noticeable speed increase. Spent loads in the event store to get him. Is it a fault?

[fallen epoch]

His ability is masked a bit by the dvor Feesha’s ability. I have checked he does work, just doesn’t have a huge impact. If you test on a horizon for example it should turn out better 👍🏻

[echo bolt]

Wish I hadn’t bothered spending on him now. Thanks👍

[fallen epoch]

No problem. Tbh it’s a shame these new officers don’t have a great impact to the game. Strangely enough the best officer I have seen so far from these 2 arcs is Fess.

[echo bolt]

I just wish Scopely would tell the whole story about new officers etc.

[fallen epoch]

Looking back at the dvor (and pre ROA arcs( and the mining officers we had back then I pretty much expected these officers to be completely useless and oversold. For example Makinnen and 10 of 11 have a very tiny mining effect on the dvor and meridian. Which is what I expected with the Feesha and these officers that had supposedly higher value numbers

I’ll be honest Arrock is still good you can pair him with Synergy with Quark and have another opc crew along with Ghrush and Joaquin and all the other officers

[shell root]

Arrock lets you mine CLAT at a reasonable rate with a non-Freesha when you have to compete in leaderboards with people with a Freesha. I'll probably sync him with quark too for a bit of a mining boost with quarks protection.

[fallen epoch]

This is what I was getting at before just never said it outright 🤣 thanks for that one 👍🏻

[elder hornet]

Question there are 1 billion parsteel tokens yet they don’t show up in the warehouse or the resource tab?

[prisma turret]

No merging of servers I don't like the idea I don't want a bunch of people coming in and thinking that it's okay to just attack anybody they want to because I already have enough of that issue with people on the server that I'm on now and I don't need that with a server merge so no server merge bad idea

[glad cradle]

I think have to be ops 40 to use them.

[frozen lintel]

Go to your items button, scroll to rss and find it there. Click the token and it’ll let you redeem. This is also the fastest way to use large numbers of tokens at a time.

[glad cradle]

As I posted above, I think you have to be ops 40 to use the 1 billion par tokens.

[still karma]

You know what's cool, getting attacked by bored level 57 players as a level 38. Really the decision makers here have disconnected from fairness and are going to drive out the other 90% of the player base

19 level station difference and they can openly attack me anywhere

[tepid bramble]

It is obvious scopy is all about classism and keeping the little guys down. How else can you justify the ability of the extreme lvl difference that allows virtual raping of others to this extent. They where trying to tax lower level folks. I mean seriously? Wtf. This company has been showing its colors for a while now.

[sour dew]

So when does the Treasury become active? I've been hunting reds all morning and still nothing.

[frozen lintel]

As sub ops 40, you are incorrect

[glad cradle]

They are in my inventory, but I’m not able to use them.

[glad cradle]

I was told you can’t use them until ops 40. I guess I was given incorrect information.

[vale wasp]

what happens if you click on them?

[frozen lintel]

I'm ops 38, used one this morning. if you click on them you have the option to use one or multiple

[vale wasp]

I meant the people who can't use them

[wide kestrel]

I love the bonus refinery...so many rares and uncommon given! Slow down scopely I might be able to think about doing an upgrade with all this love refine shows...(sarcasm doesn't read well but trust me it is much intended and very very sarcastic)

[nova sierra]

Fully agree. The bonus was so low compared to the higher resource cost to use it that I immediately decided not to use it anymore.
Just a way to knock hard earned minerals out of users pockets

[weak grove]

special refinery is nice. thx 👍

[bronze granite]

What’s with these Random Glitches.? I got Royally Screwed in the Event Rewards area for the St Patty’s Day Event

[winter sigil]

@Scopely When are you going to fix (revert) the cargo capacity display? This rounding is very annoying.

Maybe it doesn't matter to players who couldn't care less about resources unless they're in increments of 1 million, but for a lot of us, knowing even slight capacity differences helps a lot when choosing which node to mine, or which ship to use when raiding, etc.

[olive nacelle]

Players are leaving constantly …….your player retention is terrible! Some of the reasons……Server merges that cause constant awful lag! Endless glitches and bugs..(given the pack prices you charge this is borderline neglect!) and in my opinion the biggest paywall I’ve ever hit in any game…..ops lv 40 and above……I’ve lost count of the amount of teammates I’ve lost that hit ops 40/41 and see what’s required and simply go……”nope” and leave the game.

Please sort it out!

[verbal vapor]

Can someone pls tell me how to find erred 68 discord?

[eager wave]

There seems to be no way to get to the lockbox while your Treasury is upgrading 👍

[elder pollen]

What is with the horrible lag the past few days? It’s been getting progressively worse since last summer when you changed hosting or something, but these past weeks have been terrible, and the past few days have been often unplayable, unable to even select a target. Clearing localization and force quitting and restarting only alleviate the problem somewhat and only for a short while

[elder pollen]

Used to be bad lag only in heavy tc battles. Now it’s all lag all the time … if we can even log in

[sacred garden]

Yeah because treasury isn’t working they way it’s supposed to work which makes it a worthless feature

[thin atlas]

Sure be nice if the “temporary” daily hostile kill cap that was implemented back in November 2021 be lifted.
That cap makes competing in events where the points are based in hostiles killed extremely difficult.
Ive lost tons of rewards due to this cap. Lift it now please!!

[sour sky]

Just adding to what has already been said before. Lag and bugs have become outrageously frequent. Up to a point, it is no longer possible to compete in events. Targeting borgs is hilarious, ship keeps flying to wrong target location, flying back and starting the way again. I reported several display bugs without any answers from support (i have never seen my meridian, but a big black square, same for discovery engines, etc…). It totally ruins the player’s experience, to become a painful slavery…
It is obviously related to some inadequate hosting or server performance choices, preferring profitability to customer’s satisfaction. And when a company stops listening to its customers, it signs for its own death!
Wake up! Your players are howling…

[dusk tulip]

We should be allowed to swap officers at anytime and or location if you have the officers AND you should also be allowed to swap officers between ships also! I mean, this is star trek...transporters ya know?

[exotic cloak]

Bad move removing the 4.50 and 17.99 armada packs scopely and just having the 89.99 ones even if it’s just temporary I imagine you’ve lost a fair amount of revenue this weekend doing so

[hallow pumice]

They'll sort it out by adding more new currencies and new researches that cost a lot of rss but reduce rss costs by a small amount, and think it's gonna fix the problem

[sour sky]

@dusk tulip . I guess they never heard about « Beam me up, scotty » 🤣

[old plover]

<@&509690795536941056> can some please get the events team or planning team to look at unlocking server 128. We now have 20 players at ops 39 and its getting ridiculous keeping us from progressing

It gets worse lol😅

The game on mobile is unplayable in it's current form. Lagging is horrendous.

[glad cradle]

[surreal condor]

I'll raise this to the team.

[dusky karma]

Did Scopely intentionally neglect to have a better description and a list of prerequisites, such as a docked ship, for the exocomps? If not, can you please a description and prerequisites available when the exocomp is touched or clicked on?

[vale wasp]

They made a guide:

When are you bringing back a f2p option for Harrison

[ashen eagle]

Three things

1. There is an artifact of parsteel with qty showing up on the top right of screens (where it just dont make sense) Ios version latest up date installed.
2. Really no auto farming of hostiles counts for events anymore. I understand if that was just for the cross server event, but please turn that back on. Not enough hours in a day to hit button for every hostile.
3. The purple help button on the home screen should simply help all. It is distracting and detracts from the game when you have to back out of the Help screen after hitting the "help all" button anyway. I mean who would not help an alliance member ever ?????

[daring yoke]

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaag

[old plover]

Thank you

[nova sierra]

Why don't we ever get feedback from scopely about WHEN they will fix the lag (or any other problem?) It's time the generic auto script responses be dispensed with and they actually keep us updated day by day.
NOTHING ELSE SHOULD BE WORKED ON UNTIL THE LAG ISSUE IS FIXED

[quick coral]

Dabo RNG stinks. Nearly through Arc 2 for Ferengi and STILL 4 shards short of unlocking Arrock.

[solar trail]

Customer service in general is a joke. Ive submitted multiple tickets, going back 11 days now. No resolution. The one real response i got said my ticket was going to be handled and then the ticket was promptly closed, cutting off communication. That was 5 days ago, ticket still not resolved (but Scopely closed it anyway). Only way to reestablish communication is open a new ticket and then they dont even respond. Scopely customer service has ghosted me. What a joke...

[feral abyss]

It's been more than a year and a half since we've had the chance to get Harrison shards (I been needing just 1 shard to unlock that whole time).

With the introduction of Rom (who Harrison works well with) it's a good opportunity to add Harrison to ultra recruits or transporter patterns, or maybe even have an SMS

[queen thunder]

I have been searching for an "Official Announcement" for the BORG CUBE GIVEAWAY to see a list of winners and have zero luck finding any sort of announcement or follow-up whatsoever.

One of the YouTube Content creators when asked said that Scopely notified the winners privately and did not announce the drawing. That violates State and Federal Sweepstakes Laws.

I've been in retail marketing and merchandising for a couple of decades and we have done many MANY of these individually and marketwide. You have to comply with all State and Federal Laws or open yourselves up to HUGE problems. The courts do not hear "I didn't know any better".

[queen thunder]

Wow, What a Bargain! Ours is 4.99, 19.99, 49.99 & 99.99

i missed 40+ announcements and that-

[keen fiber]

The broadest problem I see in the game is that the g4 economy was rolled out in alpha, got beta quality fixes via the Outlaw tree, the Territory tree, the Away Teams tree, and expansion of the Station tree, none of which added up to sanity. I take this to be because there were never objectives for customer satisfaction, only for revenue.

The really fundamental problem is that mat costs across ships, research, and base upgrades sharply reduce affordability relative to the g3 eco. To the extent that anything takes the edge off the g4 eco, it's scrapping g3s, but it's a rare server that's going to have people who can afford to max g4 ships and research on top of the unavoidable costs of base upgrades, which is nothing like the g3 economy. The fact that efficiencies are overpriced relative to value is either a failure to do math or, worse yet, a decision to stack against players and see how much revenue such a design can produce. For how long this has dragged out, players may be forgiven for deep suspicions that it's the latter.

The g5 economy is real relief, but it's like taking your battered wife out to dinner, giving people a real great experience for having coped with a genuinely terrible one. The vast majority of players in mature players are still bleeding their way through the g4 economy, they really aren't happy about it, which is a primary driver of player attrition as servers mature, and there is a pattern clearly available for delivering relief by increasing event payouts in mats so that players can afford more ship upgrades and complete more research.

There is one other substantial issue I'm seeing with game progression, which is that the cutovers between the economy generations are hard cuts rather than transitions. Getting g4 or g5 ship parts and mats to refine when you're at 41 or 51 at the expense of complete loss of the previous generation, it cuts players off from sources of growth. It's a very rare player who graduates completely from a previous generation at these level transitions, being able to finish remaining research and continue to grow ships to keep up with goals is absolutely essential to maintaining capabilities necessary to continued progression.

I'd propose a very simple change to the payouts: until you are at a level that can build warships from your new generation, you should keep getting parts and mats for the previous one at the peak number from the previous generation.

<@&509691611903426561> would you be interested in surveying your audiences about player satisfaction with the g4 economy and ways to address pain points? I'm hearing real bitterness from the player base on my server (38) about this, I don't think these are anecdotal concerns, and I'd really like to see more systematic and constructive feedback driven by community-driven player surveys to identify and advocate for solutions because I think these are ultimately solvable problems, what's needed is showing the impact and the relation to player sentiment.

[jolly totem]

My feedback is since the MERGE of SERVER 129 & 136 the game became real LAGGY, i am not complaining about being attacked for the UPC, I am complaining about not being able to mount a defense. I have reported it 3 times, gotten no response back. Maybe Scopley will see it here

It seems like all the icons have corresponding masks, where the game ends up pulling in the wrong masks the icons. Long-standing bug, can be fixed by restarting, sometimes needs multiple restarts.

[keen fiber]

It’s a long-standing flaw that max Rogue rep doesn’t change the reward structure from the final climb. There’s a real chance for a quality of life improvement that’s been neglected.

[wind nebula]

game has that bug for years, kill the game, clear the cache (not data!) and restart it. maybe™️ you will get it working

Few words about treasury:
It reimplements existing feature of store and depends on existing feature of store. It does not introduce anything you couldn't get with credit cards, and requires credit card to be used.

Why? Why we need this again? That's hands down laziest "content" and most bluntly useless unless you pay that this game had ever. I could not see people getting angry over it, rather deep confusion is what I get and seen others get.

Another thing: some people do not know there is paywall at the end, and won't know until they need the rod. This pushes this group of players into swiping that card. I've already heared here and there opinions of monetization ethics of this game getting worse than it already were (which wasn't anything to be proud of anyway), guess why.

[lilac yew]

Lol everyone should have known that it was going to cost them money…I’d just be happy yo receive what I’ve already paid for and not blown off by their customer no-service Dept

[wind nebula]

I just had to explain it to like 10 different people on our server

[high igloo]

So the Treasury isn't ftp? Seriously?

What a pathetic excuse for a building

[vale wasp]

treasury is f2p, the lockbox events are not

[high igloo]

You can't get any of the contents ftp.

There's literally no point

This is bs

What do you get from the Treasury ftp?

[vale wasp]

it's a building, that you can level. Click on it to see the scaling for bonuses it provides in protected cargo, mining speed, and cargo capacity

at 40+ you can also earn prime particles from it

[high igloo]

Oh cool! I can get negligible rewards!!!

As I said. Bs

[vale wasp]

ok, ignore it if you want, but that's my source of prime particles and free mining bonuses.

[fading mulch]

Could it be, that the game, since the last update, drains the phone battery much faster!? (Android mobile)

[wind nebula]

think of it being research node with 3 bonuses that has a F-ton of levels. Also maybe one day ftp you will be able to get to level 40 and get some particles, so maybe also some prime research like in 1-2 years if previous features are anything to go with

[edgy harness]

The prime packs would have cost less than pushing the building to 40+

So not exactly a cromulent point or retort.

[vale wasp]

Pushing this building to 40 will be free for me, why do you think otherwise?

[grim obsidian]

Feedback: Please give me an option to hide the new features that have to be paid for: Treasury and new dock. I won't buy them ever and would like an option to remove them from my screen.

[tame dove]

The Treasury building is just one more nail in the coffin for this game...takes too long to upgrade, has an extraneous component that's just for whales, and has a boon for ftp (prime particles) turned into a cudgel to force people to level up into an aspect of the game that is extremely poorly designed, namely, the g4 economy.
The regressive tax that nearly launched with this building is a great encapsulation of how Scopely engages with benefits to ftp players.
They see it as a tradeoff, Scopely seemingly believes the enhanced difficulty, the extra time, the robust patience of a ftp player is currently at the correct level. Scopely has clearly indicated that in their mind the game should be not only be more challenging, slower, and testing than it is for those that pay, but that these realities need to be enforced.

[vale sierra]

Star Trek online is better than that 😂

[nova sierra]

Yes. I also want this Option👍🏻

[subtle steppe]

@vale wasp i just want to check my understanding of what i am reading.

So you complete tasks (hostiles/dailies) to get the 700 points to “unlock” the “descaling rod”. Once it’s “unlocked” you have to pay £ (or other currency) to get the scaling rod?

Any idea on the cost? £

[vale wasp]

700 pts to fill this treasury, and when it's filled you get the option to buy the desealing rod from the cash shop. The cost of the rod will vary each time the lockbox event runs, but it'll range from $5-100

[subtle steppe]

Thanks for the response 👍👍 much appreciated

[zinc plaza]

🤣

Seems like feedback can no longer be truthful...

[mental yacht]

No range at all, every ss posted so far has shown roughly £/$/€100. No chance next time they drop that to 5.

[frigid perch]

Just because I have spent £90 previously does not mean that I will spend another £90 each time this event runs, so what pray tell is the point in doing the 700 points if there is no reward? I am fine with basic battle pass thanks, and with the number of bugs and player gouging that's not changing for what should be a game to pop into periodically and not spend all day playing. 👍 But that's just my humble opinion.

[analog plank]

A little more variety in away teams assignments would have been nice

[paper kindle]

I am betting a true ftp has the $5 option for 1/1000 of the reward

[quaint mantle]

Again Scopley installed a feature called "treasury" where you cant find a treasure without spending money. I think they do it to provoke the players and much more will quite the game.😶

[past remnant]

The "Treasury" is nothing but a piss poor cash grab. At LV 19 this is what I'm being offered for $100

1.6K ultra tokens, 1.6K latinum, 178K steel, 178K Trit, 198L Dilith.

The 2* rss for the 58 uncommon and 700 common are usless. I have almost 300K in common and 7K to 10K in the uncommon.

The 4 days worth of time skips... That I could bank, but it isn't worth the $100.

I'm sorry but is someone wanted a new ivory back scratcher, could they not get the Players to FLIPPING pay for it?

[sonic venture]

Do you feel it's to easy to just buy a pack?

Are you in search of new reasons to grind hostiles day in and day out?

Do you feel that Scopely has vastly undervalued and overcompensated materials for the average player?

Well you're in luck! The engineers at Scopely's Imaginarium Labs have come up with the Treasury! For just 1 simple Playment™ of $99 after a day of grinding and you too can enjoy the benefits of buying yet another pack!

[viscid imp]

I may have finally hit the point where the disrespect for both my wallet and my time has been pushed past my limit.

Every time scopely does something that could be potentially cool, it's just another slap in the face

[arctic canyon]

As generous as my vault is looking, I seriously cannot justify shelling out £100 for a poxy key. Not everyone around here is blessed with deep pockets/hedge funds that people can dip into and waste money left right and centre. I don’t blow big money on games… I only really buy the battle pass… but this honestly has driven the final nail into this games coffin. I shall not be investing any more money into the game. I’m going to run my resources down, let my shield drop and walk away from this game. I used to really love this game. It makes me sad that Scopley only care about their wealthy players, and not those who actually work hard for a living

[naive stream]

I too am giving very serious thought to leaving the game. I'm a L43 Admiral of my alliance, and I'm a bit of a dolphin. I spend more than most in my alliance, but not nearly as much as the full blown whales on my server. This last cash grab on Scopely's part has really made me realize, much more than ever before, that the game is no longer worth playing like it used to be. The stupid thing is, Scopely could lower the pack prices to normal levels that other game charge for their packs, and they would make ~4x or more cash than they do know based on volume. A more reasonable price structure would easily turn FtP into PtP overnight. As the quote goes "Just because you CAN do a thing, does not mean you MUST do a thing." Wise up Scopely, or you're going to kill this game. Who knows, maybe that's what they're actually trying to do. Grab as much cash as you can now so when the player base eventually leaves the game, you've made an ungodly amount of money and can move on to the next cash grab. Rinse, repeat. This is the Scopely way.

[indigo sentinel]

Feature request: option to toggle off the vault event icon. It clutters the screen and amounts to an unwanted advertisement. While you're at it, I'd like to toggle/hide the other new recent additions like the extra building/research buttons and the extra dock button.

In other words, keep the $$$ items in the cash store where they don't visually detract from gameplay.

[thin atlas]

It’ bad enough we still have the “temporary” daily hostile kill cap in effect and we are given events that require players to kill hostiles to get points. Thats a genius move there, not. Then we are given crummy monthly arcs. New content every month thats not really needed. And now we have this treasury event in where we have to work to get the points for a key which you dont get for free for all the hard work. We have to pay for the frigin thing.
So much for looking out for the players. No wonders folks are quitting.

This isnt Star Trek, its Star Bucks.

[royal lake]

I was a dumb SoB and really thought they were going to finally reward the loyal daily players who grind and put in the work, to advance without our wallets. It wasn't enough to set up pay to win SLBs. They couldn't help but bring in cash only ships and officers like Harrison. They were beside themselves at putting more and more "perks" and rss needed to advance behind ridiculous paywalls. No, they tease us with a treasury reward page and dangle that carrot, but don't tell you that you get the privilege to grind to unlock the option to pay another $99 pack! How smooth brained are we to keep letting them rake us over the gods damned coals? Every. Single. Day.

And another thing? Fix the ridiculous slap in the face that is the Refinery. Want to not be a bunch of greedy dweebs? How about let us refine a higher quantity of uncommon and rare mats from it. And no, the bonus refinery is not enough to compensate for the stupidly low amount of refined rss given.

[sage umbra]

If it makes you feel better that's more than I have in my Treasury and I'm Ops 41

[paper turret]

Haha, I just found out that I could grind 700 hostiles to open up a $99 purchase. I will prob never check the treasury screen again until I notice an announcement somewhere that its changed

fyi I'm making my own game and I'd love for scopely to run my store

[tardy dew]

well scopley you can keep your treasury and shove it where the sun dont shine what a waste of time

[white coral]

Lets add toll booths to each galaxy. Please remove my treasury vault, you already have taken enough $$ from my wallet.
Guess i finally realized that its all about the mighty dollar for your corporation.

[tiny tangle]

Please reverse the way the max cargo limit is displayed to show the actual number again. I hate how this looks.

[hearty axle]

The treasury is a big ripoff. The players with a bunch of money continue to pull quickly ahead, while the rest of us struggle along.

[oak vessel]

I agree, especially with miners, i want to know exactly how much space i have, especially when going in lucrative systems, rounding up or down can mean a difference of hundreds of thousands of mats

[river fjord]

Absolutely. You grind out an event over 7 days, or sooner depending on how many hostiles you kill, all just to earn the privilege of giving $copely MORE money for the reward your just spent 7 days grinding out. Talk about a royal ‘screw you’ to the free or partially free to play players. Thanks for nothing.

[indigo sentinel]

To be fair, all it takes is completing daily rewards activities… trivial for most players.

Not really grinding. The real pain point here is the price

[weak grove]

your treasury is bad, scopely, and you should feel bad

server merging is completely stupid also

[river fjord]

You’re not wrong. But why shove it in the faces of everyone? Put the stupid Vault icon in the Treasury. The screen is cluttered enough as it is, I don’t need to see an add for a $99 purchase there too. I guess I thought $copely was finally going to reward the players that enjoy the game and play it regularly with a little payback. Shows what I know. Just another opportunity for $copely to hide resources behind yet another paywall.

[hallow pumice]

Even star bucks is better than this

[hallow pumice]

No, but it requires you touch the game daily, so it helps them up their player count numbers so they can shove it to investors, not only are they charging you for it, they're hoping the less active will get on to do such a 💩 activity for their investors

[shadow heron]

$160 for me

in what world is that even remotely reasonable

[vale wasp]

what country?

[shadow heron]

australia

thats almost 8 hours of work at minimum wage. a whole days work

[frigid perch]

You mean that some extra pixels in a game aren't worth a day's work? I'm shocked.. 😆 yeah pack prices are about 5 times what they should be. It's a game 🤷‍♂️

[proper raft]

You would get far more people buying if things were £5 to £15.
1million people buying a £5 pack is much easier to achieve than 50000 buying a £100 pack… it’s such simple economics. It was called micro transactions for a reason.

[upper galleon]

For once I am going to agree with Cand1e, the Treasury has value even if you don't pay to open it. However, this is another example of how Scopely over-values its product and undervalues the players time. Scopely, we are at the point of grind/screentime weariness. We love Star Trek and the community of players in STFC, but more people are going to start quitting the game if their options are spend 100's of dollars per week or spend 5 to 6 hours grinding on the phone, tablet, or pc.
On another note, please get rid of this atrocity to the game:

Can we just have the game load up with the base interior?

Everytime I see that overpriced unfinished dock it makes me want to turn the game off.

[coral heath]

don't forget that the treasury shows one set of 'rewards' , then, once you start accumulating points towards unlocking the buyout, changes to showing another, smaller set of 'rewards'. p/sure they're hoping people won't notice the bait & switch 'til after they buy

[frigid flame]

Why pay money for a buggy game? First they should learn to count. After that, maybe someday they can learn how to calculate, but I doubt that.

[cyan marsh]

I’m not sure if offering differing product quantities based on spending pattern is legal. (Treasury lock box rewards) It might be a crime even 😬

[coral heath]

it's legal because they're not selling different product quantities, they're selling 1 deasealing rod to each player

dumb distinction, but it is what it is

[twilit oyster]

I'm truly disappointed by this lockbox mechanic, and not even by the fact it's P2P
It clearly trying to mimic a "lock/safe" mechanic I know pretty well about, but it's just a complete failure.

1. The rewards that are displayed when the treasury is not filled does not make any sense, as there is no way to retrieve them whatsoever.

2. The "700pts" needed to fill it is a complete joke, just play normally for a few days and you'll make it. There's no reason to care about this thing even if you intend to buy the rod... Just some waiting.

3. The whole concept of "tiers" that exists natively in "lock/safe" mechanics and was meant to add a sense of strategy are simply absent?

There's just no gameplay with this... It was sold as an amazing add to the game, but it's just ridiculous. Play as you would normally, eventually wait a few days, buy the rod and that's all.

[nova sierra]

what is the most horrific on this whole thing is that:

1. you do not have any free way to get content
2. you do not know price before spend time and complete event
3. even if probably legal, but definately not morale way how to monetize product. One thing is to have pay to win concept, but to add whole new feature with regular full price is something which even the most hated companies (Hello Electronic arts) did not do. I strongly recommend to redesign the way how you setup pricing model.

[twilit oyster]

Guess I'll come out with suggestions to improve the system:

1. Make rods available from purchase from the beginning of the event
2. According to 1, give buyers the ability to open it at any moment... even if the rewards are complete crap, it's not the point
3. Add a tier system, each time an objective (like 700pts) is completed and it's rewards available, make new ones, with increased rewards for completion.
4. Also and obviously, make a way so F2P players may enjoy this mechanic, like by earning a tiny parts of the whole rewards. Lore-wise justify it by, for ex:
   "Can't purchase the rod to open it? Blow it up! But most of it's content are likely to be lost in the way"

It's simple and it's really all you need:
-> All players will have a way to enjoy the new mechanic.
-> Players will be compelled to make a strategic choice of "when" they'll open/blow it for rewards, the higher tier reached the better, but if not done before time runs out all's lost.
-> Actual gameplay where people can grind harder for better rewards
-> Spenders will not feel scammed by learning the rod's price only once they completed the task.

[somber bobcat]

The lockbox needed 2 paths like the battle pass, then everyone gets something and people that pay get more rss

[timid ivy]

i think the game is getting silly with all these £90 packs. month after month these expensive packs flood in. is scopley in touch with the real world? all this inflation prices going up everywhere and they think people got £300-£500 to spend on nothing? they need to remember this is virtual goods.

[frigid perch]

I have 49 £90 packs in my store at the moment 😆😆 They just don't get the hint.

[timid ivy]

anthing that is in packs should also be free to earn, but also packs need to be far better balanced with more value for money. at the moment i feel like scopley is way out of touch with the real world.

[twilit oyster]

You shouldn't worry about their business model, if they do it that's because there's enough people to go with it

[timid ivy]

thing is they have a good game, lot of player interest but they will soon loose it with all these overpriced packs. not enough is done to help the average player. takes forever to upgrade anything unless your spending thousands. the interest they have they will soon loose. ive seen it happen to more populated games than this. if they dont start to look after the player community a bit more instead of just pushing these packs out they will loose players. and not just a few. ive seen many busy games go south due to reasons like this.

[twilit oyster]

I doesn't agree, the game has never been easier as it's today, and the more time that passes the more accessible it gets. It's never been as easy for a F2P to reach G4 content, I can't believe I'm going to reach ops 35 maybe even 36 in under a year.

[slow mountain]

Having to buy an item to unseal the treasury for in game achievements is ridiculous, unnecessary, extortatory, and creates to an unpleasant experience in the gaming industry. It is time for scopely to correct this feature with complimentary desealing rods to unlock the treasury once it's full.

[frigid perch]

Complimentary desealing rods? We would be lucky if they gave us all a free 15 minute speedup each. 🤣🤣

[slow mountain]

This would be the extortion I'm referring to
