[slow mountain]

I've done the work of shooting the hostiles now it's time I'd be rewarded without having to pay money for it. That would be extortion...

[gleaming nebula]

The game isn’t about pvp anymore, it’s about mining 24/7 and buying packs. Should be called Creditcard farmwille

[slow mountain]

I agree

[last oak]

Sorry but I’m not paying $100 for that. I’ll just keep going about my business. And why do I need to pay $100 for any pack at all? You can keep the latinum you include to puff it up and just give the items I want for less.

[gleaming nebula]

It’s less already, it’s a miracle….. 99,99 🤣

[brave prairie]

<@&509691205798592532> thanks to scopely for making autogrind kills count for events again and i hope it stays this way. thumps up 👍

[glad juniper]

Might as well remove the treasury. I just filled mine and there is no way I'm paying $100 for that. All these outrageous prices don't make any sense. Stingy Scopely...😡

[tidal mica]

Can you remove treasury from my base, it is pointless and could have just offer a pack to buy in store instead of this treasury garbage.

[golden ingot]

Shameless money grabbing as usual

[gleaming nebula]

So, who will be first to buy it? Scopely should add a bonus 100k parsteel for the first buyer 🤣

Mememe 😍🤣

[wind dock]

Not everyone is made or money come on

Some get it for 4.99 some say you doing it based on past money spent in game

[alpine violet]

fix the treasury, as is IT IS A STRAIGHT UP INSULT to the ftp player.

or is the intent now to drive off everyone that doesn't meet a certain spending threshold?

@wind dock pricing is based on spending, but so are the rewards

[wind dock]

@alpine violet that's fair but still 8999 is way too pricy for me I bearly brought much before a ns and a divor at 17.99 each hardly spending 😅

[daring yoke]

Speculation event for feesha not scoring right for pvp?

In No'mat

[alpine violet]

probably at the $5 price point, but this is so bad it's not even laughable for a 28

[gleaming nebula]

Pvp with miners, what have this game become? Not even starting it

[icy summit]

I got the same at 38 😂 the problem is that you haven't spent enough. You should spend more to earn the opportunity to spend more on better rewards.

[nova sierra]

Why are you all so upset about the Treasury? Do it like me and just ignore it. And most importantly, stop throwing money down Scopely's throat ;)

[alpine violet]

It’s garbage like this that have made me consistently more resistant to spending

[gleaming nebula]

For starters, because they putting it in front of you and you can’t remove it. It’s taking in space from your view

Here a nice spot for treasury.

[frigid ocean]

La va a abrir Rita la Cantaora

[alpine violet]

wish that were possible, I know some that have already bought the $100 version, which for this game is giving good value, just not in my budget

[spark finch]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-whale-swim-whale-cartoon-oh-well-gif-15436720

[nova sierra]

So what?! Just like the extra dock. Ignore it

[acoustic jacinth]

Why restrict to one price range for the treasury ??? I will not spend 100$ but I could spend an couple 20$... A few in my alliance are they same... why reject potential client's I don't get it...

Micro transactions... Let me paint my Bortas pink for 20$ and you would get my money

[upper gull]

As a person who spends some cash in the game I believe the gap between free to play players and pay to win players is far to large. This new treasury building is just going to further increase this gap making more of the free to play players lose interest. The developers need to put more of an emphasis on rewarding hard working game play rather than people willing to spend money. This new building is just another money pit that is a slap in the face to the hard working players who completed the 700 hostile kills.

[acoustic jacinth]

No way I will give you 100$ for a chance to get Garry Mitchell

[alpine violet]

Well said!

[elder pawn]

As a Canadian, you expect me to drop $140 after completing the points to unlock the treasury? That's messed up guys. I don't spend a ton of cash here, so I'm sure my opinion doesn't mean much, but give your heads a shake. That's wrong and pure greed.

[slow mountain]

I agree remove the treasury it's a joke and extortion

[sacred garden]

The treasury would be better if to get the key you have to complete every single daily goal not just the main point based one’s. This is starting to make me feel like that scopley is trying to make people support Purim’s war on Ukraine 🇺🇦

[dense void]

When You swim in money like Scopely does then You just don't see 20 as a number anymore 😄

[thorny dirge]

Everyone buys something during the duration of the game. Scopely could very easily just give everyone the rod for free at the end of farming 700 npc ships. It would generate more income in the long run. Currently I would estimate only 5% to possibly 10% of the population will buy the rod.

[sacred garden]

If I want to waist $100’s of dollars a day I’ll just go play in a casino were at least there I have a slim chance of winning more then I lose

[blazing monolith]

Plus, they won't crash and glitch all day long for years, either!

[boreal jewel]

This could indeed come at a much more cheaper and interesting price ....

[lyric bough]

I also find this new idea to get a lot of money from us, disgusting.
Does anyone from Scopely read our comments, or is this just a Tool to calm us down?

[elder pawn]

If people didn't want to do the grind, sure, you gotta pay. But otherwise, I think it should have been a chest afterwards

[soft sundial]

this channel is like a dump, post something here and it will be ignored and thrown away from scopley...

[spark finch]

https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-captain-kirk-james-t-kirk-william-shatner-throw-gif-3786848

[real swan]

Disgusting

[solid geyser]

Never. Ever. Gonna pay for those treasury packs at those disgusting prices. 🤬

[deep perch]

Is the strategy to spread the pay buttons throughout the game hoping that we will accidently click on them? For F sake scopely just put the pay packs all in the store and stop littering our screens with crap that we will NEVER use.

And why is everthing new always at the maximum pack price? If you were less greedy and made them $5-$10 many more players would buy them.

[whole slate]

Scopely you are out of your bloody minds to charge $100 bucks for 1 treasury rod. Take it! I ain't paying a hundred bucks for 1 key.

[tropic cipher]

Well THAT suxxx... gotta pay scopely a hundred bucks to unlock treasury????!!!
NOT gonna happen.
disgusted,not buying nothing but monthly battle pass henceforth.

[rustic pecan]

Hahahah $100 for treasury unlock! You guys suck!!

Rewards suck.

Prices suck.

[steep solar]

Not for 100 bucks, no way. Keep smoking that stuff and yer gonna fry yer brain scopely. If you made it 10 bucks almost EVERYONE would snap it up. The whales while they spend alot are a numeric minority. They are what keep it running right? stop abusing them... make this a cheap thing, when 90% of your player base buys it at the low 10 price it will outstrip what the comparativly scarce spenders who buy it at 100 would get you. OPS 31.

[rustic pecan]

lol. Scopley. Seems no one likes you today.

[mighty ravine]

100€ to open the Treasure no thx same as the extra dock g for min 50€ wtf is wrong with you Pricing Politics?

[last timber]

Don't forget amalgam & D'vor Mk2

[steep solar]

Amalgy though has a F2P path like Sarc and more

[mighty ravine]

amalgam is getable in weekend events

[noble needle]

I'm definitely glad I didn't spend any money on the treasury. I'm sure scopley has their reasons for the price point but the entire thing is very anti-consumer. A very grindy event just to see how much it's going to cost. It's preying on people to spend with sunken cost fallacy.

[mighty ravine]

but 100€ is more than epic price i think

[steep solar]

Getting to the unlock point was easy. one days worth of dailes And I needed tp top out Sally to level 45, and push D3 to 35. Parked them in romulan space who hate me to their deepest core. Let the auto fighters die in droves

still have to roll D3 to the top for the primes when i feed it to the shredder

[mighty ravine]

yeah did it on 1st day off event also easy run

but the unlock price was shocking

[steep solar]

yep

especially after the initial showing of it was 5 bucks

[mighty ravine]

teaser ftw

[steep solar]

ftr... for the ripoff

[mighty ravine]

would like a scrapeyard function for buildings too 😄

[steep solar]

Scrap the scrapyard, Circular.

[last timber]

I would recycle the basic TNG Crew for officer XP or Chen/ T'laan or other shard's !!

[mighty ravine]

yeah for sure the mostly worthless white officers should recycle able

[past snow]

And fix this damb lag

[mighty ravine]

on area research you can research for cloakedsignals to still be able to see cloaked ships within a chance of max 30% so

[rich rover]

So we have game lag that makes raiding a risk or a surefire way to hurl a device acrossa room.. we have events that you need to accommodate because the diversity is becoming a little stupid now.. we get loads more stuff that we have to develop and service but need to do this on old mechanics like the god-forsaken refinery and no improvement or additional source of independent credits to support the on-going officers we're getting that use them... new ships, new tasks taking more time and resources...

AND THE ONE TIME.... you, Scopley, could have done something that got your click bait and encouraged ppl to come and spend time in the game you screw it up like that with the treasury.... What the Absolute FUDGE?!?!

I am SOOOO annoyed right now...
EPIC FAIL

That desealing rod can have a time limit to claim but NOT A MONEY COST... SERIOUSLY??????

Working on a draft complaint I'm going to ask people to sign and then send it to the competition of Scopley, to Scopley and then to Google..

If I had a porcupine in one hand and someone from scopley who ok'd this dumbass idea... I'd grip as tight as possible and clap.. 🤦‍♂️

[trim yarrow]

Dear Scopely,
A proposal:
I would like to suggest a modified game mechanic that would improve upon the existing TC game mechanic.

First of all, I would like to give a little background of what TC is like on server 10. Simply put, it's dead. DOA, CAPUT, NADDA. The teams have settled into an HOA system where territories are divided up by a "pick-your-spots" lottery based on team power, rather than using the in game takeover mechanic. Furthermore, many of the teams have entered into alliances that prevent any team from challenging any other team for a takeover. It truley is a dead mechanic. It could be so much more!!
Here is my (and many of the s10 players) proposal: Implament a mechanic that allows only the teams that "throw in their hats" on a takeover, to be able to enter the territories being fought over. This would essentially fix the stagnancy, and allow for true battles to happen. It may also keep the TC battles small enough to help with lag. Lastly, the more combat that happens, the more packs people may buy.

Please consider this as a legit proposal. If you have better ideas, you best make them known soon, as this is a burden and crummy place we are in now.

Thank you for your time,
-Squid

[steep solar]

won't work. Scopely can't code for crap. You think they could code in a block out window that keeps others from coming in and killing for PD? No. Plus, PD is a status symbol for the whales. WOn't go anywhere.

they couldn't code it without introducing 50 more bugs

[trim yarrow]

Well, TC is dead as is. At least on our server

[steep solar]

Its the same on all servers

[trim yarrow]

No battles, nadda

[steep solar]

The only thing that mixed it up and it was universally hated on 27 was the damn TC events

[trim yarrow]

It WOULD solve the problem if they could work it out.

Yeah, those were just a joke. Again a gang up proposition

[steep solar]

TC was a nice idea but just kinda a meh result in the end.

unless your in a sizeable alliance you don't stand a chance at taking even a 1 Delta

[trim yarrow]

Its so dead now I bet I could go solo and sneak in a small tc and take it myself.

Except that they would call in reinforcements from other teams and push me out. It's all screwed up

[steep solar]

You see it as screwed up. I see it as scopely standard. pandering to the whales

[trim yarrow]

Lol, you have a point.

[steep solar]

the whole game is about money making of course, we all know that. But all the added stuff is to suck money from the whales

and in the end the F2P and Dolphins should be fine with that. its what enables us to play for our... lesser contributions

TC, the Sarc, etc all money making for them

[trim yarrow]

What you are saying is true for most games nowadays.

[steep solar]

True for this one as well

Its all about the money. the IP costs them a massive amount

They have to pay that off through us.

Treasury could have been a massive money maker for them but they messed that up

[trim yarrow]

They really did. Just curious, what level are you?

[steep solar]

31. Look back and you'll see my rewards for 31

[trim yarrow]

Ah, ok

I'm at 45, so I'm seeing this from a slightly different perspective.

[steep solar]

seriously 10 bucks and almost EVERY player would buy it.

100 and only the whales will

[trim yarrow]

People would level too quickly so they would have to make another bottleneck

[steep solar]

there is that as a issue yes.

but they could still moderate the treasurey events

limit them to monthly or so.

however we don't know what the scheudle is yet either

[trim yarrow]

They made the rewards a bit better than the standard 99.00 packs, but that is just not a starter for most players.

[steep solar]

I only buy batpass regularly

[trim yarrow]

Yeah, that's usually a good one

[steep solar]

I have all researchers and builders but the extra dock... to much

BTW I see if from a programmer and buisness operator perspective. level has squat to do with it

its a moderatly entertaining diversion. The people in my alliance are what keep me around. like those in yours I bet.

No one really reads the horrible mission texts that pop up, all of use that tap those away rapidly.

all missions are go here, stop at that spot, go there, shoot this target, now go over there and blow up X targets.

nothing unique there. All these games while sucking money from the whales are still at their core social spots.

Scopley also should run spellcheck. Elemenation? REALLY!?

they have so many spelling errors its a wonder the game doesn't self-destuct more often

[last nest]

making the game once a month for a upgrade on 1 ship part isnt really fun either lol

[glossy needle]

Paid to unlock the Treasury but it disappeared instead of unlocking.

[slow nimbus]

Please source more INDEPENDENT CREDITS. We are up to 37 officers that need indy credits! Heck, there are only 25 klingons and 21 romulans. The imbalance in how many independent credits we get compared to the need is starting to be ridiculous. I can stand some degree of needing to prioritize, but there also comes a point where having officers I can’t level makes them useless and a source of frustration rather than fun. Pretty please, with sugar on top. 🍨

[wicked kite]

I wonder if can you justify £89 for a key when you done the 700 kills with the price of living going up you can kiss my ass

[worthy flare]

Hey everyone, the Key we have to Pay 99bugs, you've got all in the offers the Treasury full of Latinum but where is the best offer- 2k Lat an 200k Steel for 99bugs and the Station Upgrade for 99bugs. So is the Key offer for 99bugs realy cheap. But I didn't want to buy anything of them.

[molten inlet]

100$ for a desealing rod? NO THANKS!

[glad cradle]

You don't need 700 kills; if you complete all of your dailies (collect all of the chests), that will give you most, if not all of the need points.

[wicked kite]

I did 2 daily events and then NZ because of ROMs really hate me I put a ship in overnights

[tender idol]

Same as me, I got about 2/3 of my points from daily events then the rest from hunters overnight.
It just seems like almost everything recently is a desperate cash-grab by scopely and this is the worst example of it. No way in hell am I paying £90 for it

[lavish valley]

Scopley really have lost touch with whats going on in the world for players. I was actually going to pay out for the battle pass this month, but the cash grab on this treasury has me half tempted to just delete the game. its all take take take now.

[worldly torrent]

This is BS. If I have to grind for a week to be able to get these rewards, don't also charge me $100 to open the chest. Everything in the store is $100 already and theres nothing in the treasury that you cant just buy from the store. Its a waste of time. Even more than that, if I have to pay for the feature don't put that "full" button on the screen.

[brittle basin]

Well … I am not a business controller but when I look it from 2 sides … 1) as a player 2) from the scopely’s revenue model side.
I suggest they make the price of this lockbox content €20 .
It will be more interesting for people to buy and in the end…. If 10 times more people buy it scopely will have a better profit ( win win )

[glad cradle]

Is this pack worth 19.99 USD? A friend that’s not in discord asked me to post this.

[brittle basin]

I will not pay 20 euro for that

If he wanna spend 20 euro on something it’s worth .. buy battle pass

[wicked kite]

No it's not worth it the the crew you don't use that much maybe your awayway missions

[molten inlet]

and leveling

[solid jolt]

Why have treasury event where you build so you can collect the points to open the safe only to find out you then have to buy just to open it to get all items. Why not just give 1 random item for getting the 700 points for free, but also give the option for cash players the chance to get all by letting them purchase also. It is then fair for all.

[devout rose]

And why make the treasury pay different because of server age. My treasury at lvl 46 pays less than Rev’s, and less UC than my station packs and research packs. So thanks for letting me earn the right to spend some money on something less valuable than what I can already buy anytime.

[quick coral]

So... I am confused. I almost exclusively spend only $20 a month on this game. Only $99 purchase I made was several years ago on Prime Officers. How does a budget of $20/month = a $99 key?

(Not complaining about the fact that you pay for the key, complaining about the price of said key)

[vale shoal]

First fix you 💩 games holy 🥑 can't be that hard and they ask ppl for there 💳💲💸 ....

[nova sierra]

Hi i have problem to start Armadas

<@&509691205798592532>

This circle keep Spinning forever

😥

Can someone please help <@&509691205798592532>?

[pseudo wadi]

Don't expect anything from scopley the only thing they care about is $$$ not the players.

[surreal condor]

Mods aren't Scopely, just volunteer players. And I personally find that spinning circle thing super annoying. I'm getting it way too often myself. It's been reported to the team, which is all I can do.

[pseudo wadi]

yes can't blame mods just scopley

[surreal condor]

I'm also getting another obnoxious thing: ship doesn't actually "go" when I press recall or send, so I have to try again.

[pseudo wadi]

funny thing mods report your issues faster than scoepley support just a thought.but shouldn't support do more.....

[surreal condor]

LOL There used to be a CSR who would tell people to go ask the mods on discord.

[sacred garden]

Yes it should, but scopley cares only about money not about it’s players or fans

[blazing monolith]

You been #Scopely'd

[last nest]

thats not gonna happen

if you rebel they will just make something worse

tax removed made them mad so they made the lootbox appear at $100 first lol

out of spite

and they know the whales will buy anything because they are addicted

the people here are brainwashed man they wont not buy stuff

[sacred garden]

Gamers make or break companies

[last nest]

they dont here

go look at their other games and check their forums

[pseudo wadi]

yep just stop $$$$$

[frail latch]

Just in case anyone is under any delusions that Scopely aren't about exploiting the player base, don't forget that for €89.99 you can open the Treasury OR you can really treat yourself:

All for the same price...

[last nest]

thats just there so they wont get in trouble on the app store

you have to show microtransactions on the app store to make it look like you have SALES

so they base it off that

been there for 3 years

[frail latch]

It's one of 75 packs...

And even if that was a valid excuse, which it isn't, put something of value in.

[last nest]

they dont have too

its their base for the app store mate

go look at it lol

The bottom one is it

[frail latch]

It's plain extortion of the stupid in that case. But it's dinner time. Point was people really shouldn't be surprised about Scopely willingly fleecing people

[last nest]

they hide all the other purchases under it

[fossil pewter]

Scopley,,, is it near end of financial year?,, targets not met? Desperate attempts to get sales? Putting more and more "buy me now " buttons permanently on screen will make your player base reduce, if someone wants to buy, all of the purchases can be found easily, remove the buttons from main screens.

[lost shard]

TC lag sucks. Please fix.

[nova sierra]

Anyone else not get the alliance exocomp with the desealing rod pack?

[vale wasp]

Are you 46+?

I've seen some sub 46 players say they didn't get it, and now I'm looking for someone above that as a data point.

[nova sierra]

No, ops 35

[true zealot]

I'd like to congratulate scoplely new ceo. I'm sure Quark, with his strict Ferangie financial guidance will bring swift financial gains. /s

[narrow bridge]

Thanks for the notice of amalgam event Scopely. Tiered mine up yesterday so no chance to score any points. Keep up the "great* communication. 😡

[feral flicker]

@everyone should open up trouble tickets to complain about the new treasury design. Players spend money when they don't have the patience to earn it through normal game play, but everything should be achievable to earn through game play that can be bought. Having to grind to then pay $99 to get the loot, with no other way to get the loot but pay, is completely rediculous. I am not saying Scopely shouldn't make money, but those who are F2P, maybe only spend the monthly $20 elite pass unlock, or others who can't afford to spend $99 everytime there is going to be a treasury 7 day cycle, are only going to fall further and further behind the big spenders in the game. This does nothing to attract new players, but is harmful to retention of current players. The big spenders don't really need the loot like the rest of us, and those who pay it are basically saying that the gap between one set of players versus the rest of the players doesn't matter in maintaining any sort of game balance.

There should always be a way to eventually earn through grinding what others pay to get quicker. But to grind for the priviledge to pay their highest level package is complete nonsense. I am not sure I'd even pay $20 for the loot, unless maybe it was once an arc/month. But if this even happens more than once a month, the gap between big spenders and the rest of the players, will start exponentially getting worse and worse, more than likely discouraging folks to keep playing.

Don't rage quit, but open up trouble tickets complaining that this feature needs to be fixed. Pass the word through your alliances, through other servers of players you may know. Large numbers of complaints will be more effective than just leaving the game.

[lavish junco]

the way how they implemented the new treasury is a really bad joke... I mean... I'm hitting reds and doing my dailies to fill the treasury... and then paying to open it? I would say it is a massive fail...

[urban olive]

Anyone know where to find the day that your server started?

[fallow wasp]

$99.99 for the fringe unsealing rod is ridiculous like most of the store packs not anywhere worth their price. $10 IS more like its value.

[hot raptor]

But it totally screws the f2p player

[sand cosmos]

2022 is here, not happened yet

[devout rose]

Nothing in this game is worth the money they ask, but even if one is ok with the prices, this pack implementation is a joke: you end up grinding and doing dailies to be able to buy something less valuable to me than other similarly priced packs (i judge pack value nearly 100% on UC, and i get more from station packs)

[deep perch]

Why does scopely level lock ships to your player ops level? The Franklin A which you can build at ops 35 is locked at Tier 1 until ops 37. WHY?

[pseudo wadi]

to extort more $$$$$

it's why I don't care about ops above lv 34 and never will

[exotic cloak]

I notice the desealing rod is priced differently depending on how much the individual spends i know people with 4.99 ones and people with 99.99 ones

[hot raptor]

Mine is $100 and I haven't spent a cent on this game

[proper raft]

I have bought a few monthly packs, so expected it to be cheaper but this is $copley

For those saying it’s a grind to open, it’s not. Just do your normal dailies and it will do itself between your dailies and the kills to get them.
The real problem is the shear greed of Scopely .
These are supposed to be micro transactions. 1m people are likely to buy a £5 pack, they are highly unlikely to buy a £100 so you would make more money by having lower prices. Considering it’s just pixels, that have no real value except a number in a database, your prices are laughable.

[olive flax]

Hi why is that the price for purchase of treasury unlock rod is different for different players for many the price is around 5$ to 7$ but for some including it is around 100$

[sour dew]

158 with tax for a Treasury Key and EXOComp. It's great knowing that most players got the advantage of 10 keys for an average cost of 20 Bux before The Ferengi at Scopely decided to up the price. Gives the impression that Scopely favors some players over others. Better off paying the same price for a Monthly RSS and Mat chest with daily bonuses. Evidently This Game needs some better regulation and organization, not to mention a restructuring of priorities for in game packs purchasing.

[hollow pike]

Who got 10 keys for 20 bucks? No one got anything except the unfortunate few who bought the 5 dollar pack when it launched by mistake. And even then they couldn’t open their treasury with it

[loud cove]

For Pete's Sake, stop asking...

[fathom fractal]

Scopely Support knocking it out of the park! Their only response to me was Tuesday and it was that a pack I bought on the 17th might take 24 hours to show up. It showed up instantly, but they took it back with no communication and kept my money. I get that they didn’t want to sell desealing rods for $5 but they sold me one, then just took it back. I didn’t expect anything better but the fact that they just ignore a support ticket for days is actually impressive.

[old plover]

Hi jess, any feedback on this, will we be getting the event tonight?

[low furnace]

Yeah it’s a rip off, paying 100 for rewards u earned

[fathom fractal]

On top of that… accidentally selling the rod for $5, just taking it back, and not explaining anything. Their response about it taking 24 hours makes me think they don’t understand the issue. Then just ignoring me for three days is really impressive… even for Scopely.

If the answer is “We made a mistake, you must get a refund through Apple” say that. But that’s not what they’re saying. They’re saying “wait 24 hours”. Obviously, I’d hoped they’d give me a rod for the $5 they sold me one, but at the very least admitting they pickpocketed me and kept my $5 would have been decent validation.

[low furnace]

Yeah they double charged me on a 20 pack. Still waiting on that refund

I’m thinking that as they keep charging more and asking u to pay to play it’s time to just quit

For 100 I can a good bottle of bourbon instead of an imaginary space ship

[fallen epoch]

This event was stopped due to a technical issue. You won’t get your desealing rod.

[fathom fractal]

Yeah… they should communicate that before they rob me 🙂

Their support staff should deliver that info when I open a ticket instead of blowing me off.

[vale wasp]

they haven't blown you off or the ticket would be closed, they're probably just busy

[fathom fractal]

Days with no response? That’s ok?

[vale wasp]

I'd need to see their side to make a judgment whether it is ok

[fathom fractal]

I included their side above. Their initial response was pretty quick but it sounds like they didn’t understand the problem. To then just ignore me for days is straight up BAD customer service. Pop me a message that says you’re investigating… anything would be better than just ignoring it for days.

After reading through the forums here, I can see they can’t refund and they’re not going to do anything about it. But their support staff should be trained to provide those answers. The game doesn’t direct you to forums to find answers. I opened a support ticket, they should be responsive and accurate.

[vale wasp]

When I say their side I mean the conditions that led up to the response time you find unacceptable.

[fathom fractal]

Oh, I’d love to see that, too. Any reasonable explanation for why they can’t reply to my support ticket for days would be lovely. I think 24 hours is reasonable. If days of radio silence is acceptable, I must have not been in Stockholm long enough to fully develop my syndrome.

[proper roost]

99€ here, 99€ there, 99€ everywhere. scop€ly - are u mental?

[frigid perch]

49 X £89.99 packs in my store, that's £4,409. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

For a mobile phone game.

[lavish junco]

The amount of money they want is getting ridiculous... I thinj the most people will spent 5-20 bucks for a pack... but 99 is getting out of control...

[half ginkgo]

I am very grateful for the Treasury building itself. The increase in Protected Cargo and Mining Rate is a very welcome addition to the game.

[surreal condor]

They acknowledged the request but did not give an estimated timeline, unfortunately.

[old plover]

Thank you for passing it on. Its much appreciated

[sage ravine]

When did this game become such a chore?

This morning when I woke up, the first thing I did was load up the game while still in bed. I had 2 ships out afk grinding overnight and 3 mining, so I brought them all home. I opened the gifts tab, collected my 10 minute, 4 hr, and 24hr chests, flipped over to the alliances tab, grabbed the uncommon armada pack and relocation toke, flipped to the territory tab, grabbed my duranium and particles, flipped over to the consumables tab, grabbed my axionic chips and utility exocomp consumable. Then grabbed my syndicate xp for the day. I opened my faction store, grabbed recruit shards from 2 factions, grabbed my independent and augment credits from my augment store, grabbed my directives from the rogue store. I opened my items tab and cleared out all of the pve chests my afk grinding ships earned overnight. I opened up my refinery tab and did my 2* and 3* gas, crystal, and ore refines, I flipped to the territory tab and did my iso refines and iso-resin refine, then I flipped to the resources tab and grabbed some of my swarm biotics and biomineral refines, then I flipped to my borg tech tab and pulled my charged and active nanoprobes, my independent credits, and some faction credits, then I opened up my latinum tab and did my raw latinum refine. Then I opened up my away teams and cleared some finished missions, as well as sped up some missions that were to be finished in under an hour, as I got around to it earlier today than I had for the 24h missions I started yesterday and the 48h missions I started the day before. I checked the daily events at this point and saw there was an officer event, so I found an officer to spend some xp on. I then re-opened my away teams tab and started several new missions. I had enough xp to upgrade a trait on an officer today, so I dd that too.

During all of this, the game completely froze on me twice, and I had to manually shut the app off and restart it to get it to work. By the time I finished this morning, 27 minutes had passed. I didn’t even undock a ship to go send it to afk grind again (because I’d risk hitting the 1500 hostile limit), nor did I even bother looking for some nodes to go mine on. I just shut the game off and started with my day. If this was a one-off day, I could understand it, but this is stuff that has to be done every day for reliable progression…..

There were a lot of things I didn’t do yet either. There’s a bunch of timers that I’ll have to grab this afternoon (diodes, transwarp cells, tetryons, other away missions, my building and research for the day, a second round of G2 and G3 refines in the refinery, etc). I’m behind on my Eclipse grinding. I do not have any security codes or armada loot right now. I have lots of directives for running eclipse armadas (9600 uncommon, 10k rare, and 750 epic, but that will go up as I run the other armadas), but I haven’t had time to participate or run eclipse armadas. I haven’t kept up with normal armadas either. I’ve got 4800 uncommon directives, 2600 rare directives, and 3200 epic directives. I’m not f2p, but I haven’t bought directives….. The biggest purchase I’ve made was the battlepass, and I haven’t even bought a battlepass over the last two months….. I’ve been saving rares and epics to run them during events, but then during those events I can’t find them to run them anyways, because of how few there are relative to the demand during those events…..

I haven’t been running ticketed events on a consistent basis either. I have 260 tickets saved up, as well as 10 rares from back when rare ticket events were a thing.

I’ve been lazy with pulling my recruits on a regular basis. I’m dreading this, but I need to put some time aside to using my 55k premium recruit shards and 13k standard recruit shards. They don’t score a lot of points in officer recruit events, so there’s no real reason to be holding on to so many of them…..

I stopped raiding and hunting opc because I just don’t have time for it. If I can get iso/g3/lat/whatever through mining, I’ve been doing that because I can’t keep up with the things I need active screen time for. I’ve got a lot of archived missions to run, and I’m ops 39 and haven’t even started exploring deep space yet. Events have paid out enough Steel/Trit/Dil lately that my bottleneck has been G3.

There’s been so much content added to this game, and while a lot of it has been good content, there is now so much of it that this game stopped being a game and became a chore instead. I hear complaints all the time about things directive sourcing, but I dread the point where they make the game require us to run even more armadas than we already do, as I’m already falling behind in all of this stuff….. I’d rather see a reduction in things that require active screen time. Please Scopely, start making changes to reduce the time we need to spend doing stuff for progression so we can get back to playing an actual game.

[mild steppe]

The cost to buy a key to open the treasury of rewards I earned is kind of ridiculous. I can’t afford it on disability. I hope it gets revised without cost or much cheaper. $100 a month would be a struggle to pay, $100 a week is just not doable. I didn’t know where to put feedback on this feature.

[gilded pollen]

"(because I'd risk hitting the 1500 hostile limit)"

Excuse the stupid question, but what do you mean by that. what happens if you hit more than 1.5K enemies?

Otherwise I agree with them. Collecting the time-limited items is an annoying duty. In fact, a game should be fun.

[sage ravine]

Once you kill 1500 hostiles in a day you stop getting most types of rewards from the hostiles you kill until the count resets for the next day. I've hit that limit a few times and missed out on collecting frequency mods, nanoprobes, etc..... It sounds like they put the limit in place to stop bots. It wasn't always like this, they added this limit in a few months ago.

[fallen epoch]

There was a rumour it’s gone up to 2000 kills now but not sure

[sage ravine]

I don't really want to test this to find out. The timing for me is bad. My active screen time is before the reset, not after, so my afk grinding is always done first.....

and I'd rather be getting security codes, frequency mods, nanoprobes, faction rep, etc. from my active grinding than the loot boxes from low-level afk grinding.....

[fallen epoch]

Like I said rumour so I would stick to 1.5k kills unless more can confirm this

[halcyon cave]

This game is so freaking greedy they blind themselves. They want 20$ or more per week to open the vault. Who the heck has that kind of money.... If they were the least bit smart, they would make it 0.99 cents and everyone would buy it. they would have a steady stream of money every week from every player...

[gilded pollen]

Hm ok, thanks for the information

[mighty ravine]

The Cashcow needs food 😄

[stuck delta]

It depends on how much you have spent already, its basically scopelys way of saying hey your a loyal customer and have spend £100 before, therefor you will do so again and again until we have bled you dry

[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?

[faint steeple]

Without players fleet command wouldn't exist. Scopely should honour players like Klingons instead of this p2w crap

[nova sierra]

Okay. Sorry Scopely, but you lost a whale after today. Lag was literally so bad during a takeover that it was taking 5 minutes to engage and complete a fight. I engaged in a total of 16 battles during the ENTIRE TAKEOVER where the majority of the kills were the first 5 minutes before the systems filled. You spend all of your time worrying about more $$$ pack mechanics and spend little to no time on core code that affect the game as a whole. This reached the level of the ridiculous today.

I cannot in good conscience spend any more $ in this game. Between the gameplay becoming extremely stale, the abysmal lag when more than a handful of players engage with each other, to the inability to move servers to experience new groups of players and being on the only "closed" server to new players? Meh.

Im the idiot for have spent so much on this game. Shame on me.

[sage ravine]

I can't imagine spending the amount of money needed to get to ops 54 in this game and seeing this is the end result. Feels bad, man 😦

[balmy spear]

Wrong. Shame on the game developers for outright failing you.

[nova sierra]

No. Honestly I accept my responsibility for spending many thousands of dollars on a game and having never seen any real improvement to the gameplay

And yes - the spend at levels beyond 50 are absolutely INSANE.

This is the end result. Lag, more lag, more money grabs, crappy refine rates, pay to win across the board, no ability to move around and experience different groups of people, etc. It's my fault.

[balmy spear]

Dosnt matter, you're a loyal customer, and regardless if you spend $5 or $5k, you should be able to enjoy the game.

The problem is where the money goes, if it's not being put into server maintenance and overhead, that's not your fault soo much as the company that's responsible for said overhead.

[nova sierra]

I agree with that - but they have seen my last dollar. I'll be donating my trillions of rss to all the littles in my family and if I even keep playing - just doing the absolute minimum. Maybe check in from time to time to see if anything has changed.

[balmy spear]

But I cant stop you from kicking yourself and committing to either quitting or not spending another dime until things improve, I actually applaud the fact that you're taking a stand. Most don't or wont.

[nova sierra]

who knows, my 3 trillion trit and over a trillion dilithium spread via proxies down to the level 25's and up will put a dent in a few pack buys? That seems to be the only thing they care about.

[balmy spear]

That's certainly possible. Hell I wish players could send RSS/Mats to fellow alliance members.

God forbid they do anything to get past their purposefully designed progress bottlenecks aside from selling a piss excuse for a solution.

My progress is being held up by almost 1k in 3* green gas... even if I get lucky and land 30 a day from events and refinery... do the math on how many days that would take to attain and move forward.

It's total bullocks.

[nova sierra]

Yeah. Im making a conscious decision to move along and find enjoyment in other games.

Their RNG is ridiculous and worse than any casino I know toward the house wins

[balmy spear]

I noticed they lowered the drop rates on latinum in the Dabo wheel. Someone should be slapped for that one.

[nova sierra]

they take everything they can. Hell, they even shut down the servers and pull events if someone fat-fingers a deployment and pays out too much to the player.

[frail latch]

My screen

Alliance members screen

See, £5 wouldve made me hit the buy button (even though its pay after a grind). But can't even get it consistent....

[balmy spear]

I guess they figured we'd keep quiet about the sliding pay-in scale. 🤷‍♂️

Like players don't communicate....

[frail latch]

Considering the state of Alliance Chat, they probably didn't think it was possible to talk to another...

[balmy spear]

When most alliances I know of have their own discord server 😆

It's either incompetence or intentional. No Grey area.

[frail latch]

Yup. At least that doesn't crash when you press a button to another screen

[proper heron]

The treasury suits into this arc... and to Scopely's current course 🤦‍♂️

[vivid hedge]

Takeover lag on S155 is yet again dreadful it’s going backwards. Either sort it or just remove territory it’s not exactly a fair or fun having waiting 8 mins for a combat to start and end.

[stuck delta]

TO is pretty garbage at the best of time, they are too many of them, often big alliances just camp systems to prevent players getting in, and whats the point in a PvP game when Whales can one hit lvl30-40s without scratching paint, there is no balance.

[vivid hedge]

On our server people flood with g2 ships and cause horrendous lag. It basically make g4/5 ships pointless.

[autumn kite]

Treasury - Abhorrent money leaching scheme. Make the level of points required to unlock higher, but make the KEY the reward … don’t offer it at a price. Shoddy money grabbing tactics that you should be ashamed of.

[stiff parcel]

Where are the free event tickets?

[nova sierra]

Close the gap on how low a whale can punch. For example, why can anyone 50+ hit anyone under 42? The differences in available ships, research, etc. is massive. It makes no sense that my augur can be hit by a Corvus.

[unreal cloud]

Please stop this thing from flashing every four seconds. It makes me want to put up a three day shield and turn off the game.

[spark finch]

i've found a fix, started leaving helps up longer

[frank nacelle]

I wish! Here's mine. (In Canadian $) plus taxes on top. Would be over $150

[queen shuttle]

I didn't get a ticket for today's event. Did anyone else ?

[nova sierra]

No one got a ticket. They gave enough tickets out to do one of the events each time it came up. You probably did 2 events on one of those times

https://tenor.com/view/no-ticket-indiana-jones-indiana-jones-and-the-last-crusade-gif-17725198

[queen shuttle]

Haha. Probably correct I saw in GC a few saying they didn't and some said they did have one.

[vital bone]

So scopely can kiss my grits if they think I am spending $100 on any pack in this game. Elected to purchae the stella for $50 and now everything I get is $50 and higher. I am not made of money and will no buy anything that high again or I might have to pay $150 for packs

[slow needle]

Whats the next popup sale your going to come up with scopely,how long before it looks like every other mobile game

[slow needle]

Honestly its only going to get worse from here

[slow needle]

Theyre in a downward spiral, the more they charge, the less they bring in which spurs more charging. A$100 should buy a minimum of a tier but it does t even buy a part,

[muted coral]

I didn’t receive the mission tokens when I bought the desealing rod through scopely website. Not impressed.

Was supposed to get two:

[proper roost]

Welcome to FarmTrekAcademy, the moneymaking machine, err, game. every arc a new ship, a new token to farm. gameplay is reduced to farming and killing red dots (by bot at best). anything else? yes: pay to play – there is nothing to win! you loose real world money for virtual bs.

…i almost forgot, there are new officers and all new token and materials to collect and farm and that is so damn boring and so on

[rugged karma]

My safe cost 99€. In future not one cent for the game. In the normal packs is more inside for the money.

[silver geode]

Scopely can you please explain why a member of my alliance in Poland is being charged in the region of 5 euros for the treasury desealing rod pack but you are asking us in the UK & other parts of Europe from what I've been told around the 100 euros price range. Screenshots of packs & currency conversions at interbank rates below for reference. I look forward to an interesting & likely creative reply

[brazen walrus]

need to update cc details please reset

[silver geode]

🤔

[fallen epoch]

It depends on ops level server age and what you spend. Clearly you guys that got £90 packs spend a bit on the game and he is pretty much f2p so got a £5 pack

[inner herald]

Hey Scopely, your April fools joke on us was a week early. Can you please get this money grab trash off my screen.

[full granite]

When will there be an Ascend Event on server #72?

[misty prism]

Racism

[void sigil]

Can you please get the Tresuary money grapping insault icon off my screen. Thank you for the loyalty discount. I wont be buying anything in the future.

[brazen walrus]

hi scopely can't buy anything until reset card details payment a new card

[hallow pumice]

Bruh, you're capping hard there, and have no idea on scopely system of purchases

[hallow pumice]

The price is based on how much you've spent in game, packs will be alluring at $5-$20 for people who spend very little, but once you buy a $20+ pack the smaller spending options dissappear as it's part of their business model to try and force you to spend more, eventually virtually every pack costs $50-$100

So if you've spent $$ the treasury lock thing will cost $5, and if you've bought maybe one pack, it'll prob cost $20, but after a certain amount, it's jumped to $100, and that certain amount isn't even high, I believe it's about $50 or so

[upper parrot]

People who have 5€ packs also tend to have MUCH less items in them. As in dozen or two of G3 ucs, no rares, very little other resources or lat. a FTP lvl 39 player has much much less items for his 5€ pack than me on lvl 31 with 100€ pack. However - his rewards are like two daily events combined, so why would it tempt him to buy it? It makes no sense... As for me, I buy battlepass and occasional stuff like second builder/research queue. No idea why Scopely decided that someone who spends like 20€ per month would suddenly be ok with spending 120€ per month... it does not work that way..

[sacred garden]

Curious how many going to fall for the treasury money trap. It’s very obvious that it’s a money trap . Make people spend $100 every time treasury is full . I no fool I can tell a money trap when I see one.

[last nest]

Lots. Theres alot of easily manipulated people here lol

[sacred garden]

I’ve set up similar traps in dungeons and dragons only differences is I did get players to pay real money lol

Yeah so many like little 5 yr olds in candy shop or toy store that gotta have everything they see lol

[last nest]

But its not like that here its 40+ year olds with gambling addictions that they "stopped" and they do it in games now lol

[sacred garden]

Either way weather it’s kids or adults that so big into paying just to try to be number 1 in the pvp they ain’t no true gamer, a true gamer doesn’t buy every new cosmetic they buy only the true expansions and perfer to work on getting things then just buying them

Cap on pulls similar things as scopley by charging for things that people can unlock in the game calling them dlc lol

Scopley is a lot like Bethesda get people to spend money like crazy for broken ass games

Better ways to waist money, invest in crypto currency games were you can earn to get real money

Or like me invest in gaming consoles were you can have more fun a lot longer for your buck and cheaper in long run

[hallow pumice]

Friendly reminder elden ring costs only $60 and not only is fun, but is challenging and rewarding to play, while a $100 pack isn't a true reward in any way

[low furnace]

Bottle of bourbon is tangible

Bag of weed tangible

Weeks worth groceries tangible

Electric bill, phone bill, rent, car payment, etc tangible

Desealing rod IMAGINARY

But still cost money?

[nova sierra]

Scopely when they thought to put that there

[tawdry lynx]

The so-called "lag" is getting ridiculous. Since the last bunch of updates the game is completely broken on some android platforms, crashes the Google play elements etc.... Thanks scopely

[loud cove]

When Toby started talking about the idea of a Treasury in Scopely's HQ, someone, anyone should have said...

https://tenor.com/view/no-gif-21942053

[leaden crown]

why would i pay USD 99 for this??

that 149 is singapore dollar btw

[muted coral]

This is funniest pack in store 🤣🤣

[vernal jasper]

currently i can get a satchel of 100 latinum for 4.99, or desealing rod to access 900 latinum and a few mats for 4.99. i'm not complaining about the price, but i refuse to pay through the hoops. not only that but the next treasury rod will cost me more just because i've spent elsewhere in the game? no. i will remain f2p. you will never know my billing information.

[humble gorge]

some of the objectives in events are to kill hostiles, but where are the hostiles that are 23+ I know there are Romulans and Klingons, but they are too tough at the moment

[tepid bramble]

Sexy, now promoting Bones gave NO credit for the officer xp event, only the “level” increase. How badly you guys going to screw up your game?

This game has so many built in players screw withs that it is hard to tell a genuine scopy coding error from their bs predatory practices and sad excuse for CS

[frigid perch]

Scotty said it well.. "Admiral, there be whales here." But yep, no way I am spending £90 on game bits when I have real world bills to pay. I would rather buy a couple of games for the PC for that, and besides that's just one of the £5,000 worth of packs in my in-game store.. car or game, hmmm difficult choice 🤣🤣

[noble helm]

It’s called price anchoring. It’s to set a perceived value for other packs. As an example a set of 55 drill bits costs $55 but a set of 50 drill bits costs $30. They’re trying to sell the 50 bit sets and the 55 bit set is really only there to make to $30 set seem like the bigger value. That’s why the vault of latinum pack is there.

[sour pivot]

Listen its always a choice and until the US Gaming Senate body illegalizes or restricts gacha type games. Scopely will price illusionary things as they wish. You can play the game free. However, their marketing and sales staff need to rethink how they are implementing the overpricing of these illusionary items. Though the kids play free and are supervised, they seem to have more micromanaging stores in their Strike Force game than this one which is full of 100.00 marks which we will never touch. Just need to have a better variety to fit all players' budgets across a broader scheme than do it in the manner they are doing. I don't know their sales data on these high priced items, but I doubt players feel they 'must' have most of it. Just an observation.

[weary wolf]

54 is lagging badly.

[quiet onyx]

Scopely overpricing their packs is a big concern especially during these economic times. When the majority of packs are $99 USD, money can be tight for some. I would like to see more lower priced packs available for the players who can't afford the $50 or $99 USD

[sour pivot]

@quiet onyx we see 5 dollar packages all over the store since we do not spend, but from our alliance complaints its more laughable the 100.00 packages that come after that. You also have to remember that is huge money profiting, you are no longer paying 30.00 for the game entirely, its a casino formatted business that if you are not careful can suddenly cost you hundreds if not thousands towards one game. The battle pass alone, you are talking a 240.00 a year process. Ask yourself why in the US, senate gaming boards have allowed gacha games, because of legalized gambling and payoffs to those senators. Until that changes, you have to be diligent in your own spending habits. The game can be played totally free, all these special ships can be attained freely in the game, you grind to save up on resources. All how you have perspective in what you are doing.

[quiet onyx]

In my case, I'm Canadian and on top of that I have to pay 40% more because of the exchange rate, so $99 USD is $139 CDN + taxes. You're right about the overall situation of the gachagames, it's the same in every country. Now I don't spend a lot and I am careful. My statement is just an observation of Scopely's current pricing.

[sour pivot]

@quiet onyx I feel ya brother, it's all price gouging, taking full advantage of the pandemic, whether food, materials, or games. They should just call it a Store, not (Sale), because nothing is ever on sale. They will not change until gamers leave in masses. For now, all I can say is play free as much as you can.

[swift steppe]

I REALLY like the way cargo upc opc is presented now

[nova sierra]

Your absolute total and complete lack of attention to takeover lag is pretty bad. You guys should absolutely STOP all takeovers until such time as you fix this atrocious nightmare. 5 minutes to engage, and 5 minutes to finish? RIDICULOUS. Glad Im not spending any more money on this game and donating trillions to all the lower players.

[trim canyon]

@Scopely Your treasury unsealing rod money grab is a joke... 💩💩💩

[winter sigil]

@Scopely please fix cloak, as it's not working now. You can see cloaked ships as transparent gray ships that can't be selected.

[past snow]

Fix the lag already. PvP and base raids are nearly impossible with the Lag.

[sweet violet]

So the treasury came, and the price is hilarious. Had hoped for once that we'd see some truly new, which was for everyone. Instead its more of the same, another "pack" priced at an hilarious level. Maybe its time to not only focus on $$$, but on the gameplay and playerbase overall instead. Thumbs down from here!

[delicate fiber]

The treasury is simply a breach of the gameplay so far. Up until now you would get for money MORE of a certain feature then other BUT the f2p players still get SOMETHING.
With the treasury now the WHOLE content of the feature is ONLY for money. That's really a blow and needs to change. What's next? The battlepass as a whole ONLY for money?! Research ONLY for money? This really is a breach and must be changed so that some of the treasury content is also available f2p

Otherwise this game is lost

[craggy saddle]

The treasury also has its passive side effects, completely f2p.
And you're forgetting 2nd/3rd builder and researcher and repair, Dock G etc.

All of these have or are p2p features.

[molten sequoia]

everything has a p2p feature ngl, that s all apart of the game

[craggy saddle]

That was the point I was trying to make 😅

[molten sequoia]

🤣 welll i double reineforced it! lol

[glad cradle]

So far Dock G IS NOT f2p!

[craggy saddle]

I said so. I said all these are p2p

[slow totem]

And another one leaves due the wonderful arc's of scopely.. keep going and more ppl will leave

[stuck linden]

Hey devs... Wtf are these prices? You're banking like 15% on that exchange rate. Why you screwing Canadians so bad?

[grave trout]

Read the rules of acquisition.

[brazen prism]

Has Scopely thought about the solutions to these problems?

1: lack of armadas? That has always been a big problem on my server. It will be even more difficult after merge. No increasing amount of armada's
2: lack of main raw materials (mining spots)same with armada's
3: increasing TC zones, more zones so that more alliances can get piece of TC. This is part of the game
4: leaderboard events, will there be more places for rewards there will be more people on the server to the merge

This is just a small sampling of upcoming issues. Time for Scopley to explain. How to solve it. You can't just combine two servers with the same offer. Then it becomes constant arguing and war on the server. That ruins the gaming fun considerably

Only what you hear from Scopley: your server merging. Also time to fixing the problems

https://tenor.com/view/cute-gif-angry-cat-gif-24033237

[light mist]

We need better support. I’ve had a ship stuck since Saturday- over two days now- and still haven’t even gotten a response on the ticket. It doesn’t help that I had a ticket open at didn’t have a response. That ticket has been open since Thursday with no response. So I’m lost in the shuffle….not a great experience.

[gusty fractal]

1: lack of armadas? wait for it or don't do the event. It's just an event
2: attack empty ones
3: it's a server management problem, not a content one
4: competition is the first step to spend money

[brazen prism]

remains problems what need to be fixed

[toxic steeple]

<@&509690795536941056> what is the current backlog on tickets looking like currently. I have had a ticket open for over a week now, and the original issue has now turned into 3 separate ones. How does one get in touch with support?

[graceful lotus]

As a suggestion: Instead of varying price points for vault, how about experiment and say a $20 price for vault for a month to collect data, then compare that to your current sales of vault and see what brings in more $$.

[quartz prism]

Stop charging so much for everything. The prices for packs I could buy entire games that I don't have to buy extra stuff to play the game

[wind vortex]

This is the Star Citizen of mobile games 😆

[analog plank]

So tired of people saying then just don’t do the event… I play the game bc I want to be active and grow. Having people quit is really your answer?

[stray basalt]

Just got the required vault points and sorry for the language used but hell no to paying to unlock it. £89.99 is unjustified especially when people were offered it alot cheaper. The developers are now starting to feel like true ferengi and seem to be trying every method of screwing people out of money left right and centre. This bad practice needs to stop or people will stop playing. Most of the game store prices are highly unjustified and insane and need to come down.

[nova sierra]

The cheaper packs had different contents. Contents and prices are meant to vary. There are and always have been differences in the regular store too, this is just more of the same.

[grave quest]

Just to be a little silly… Interns are there for getting coffee and observing/learning. Not performing server merges 😂

[stuck delta]

Its only there to make the other packs seem like good value

[stuck delta]

Star Citizen is only in Alpha and has less bugs than STFC

[grave quest]

STFC fired their QA dept in favour of more profit. Unit Tests is an unknown phenomenon, integration testing is something one or two devs read in a book one time, and acceptance testing is a joke among execs. 😂😂

[stray basalt]

Well unlike the packs that offer speed ups for those that don't want to play or got time to play we have to play to get the points to unlock the vault so it should in reality be free as usual the store unlock should be for those that don't spend the time to play. We should not really be charged for the vault if we spent time getting the required points.

[lucid rock]

Please stop trying to do X-server events. You can't even design a game that doesn't randomly crash and burn every 15 minutes from constant localization issues and lag, yet you think we should trust you to aggregate our data in real time across multiple servers?

[distant herald]

Are there plans for server 64 and 65 to merge?

[white locust]

Yeah I've really lost interest in playing when I found out that it's perfectly okay in the game for another much higher level player to attack my station five times in a row in under two minutes the other day and said station raids are common enough occurrences that my alliance leader basically went "Oh well it happens" when I mentioned it.

I can understand allowing players to attack each other's stations but that is excessive enough to be borderline unfair.

[grave quest]

On a good day with right positioning, I can get 12-18 raids a minute 😂

[digital flax]

not mine, but true:

[grave quest]

Do dailies and you get 24 hours of free shielding every day. #SheildOrShare

[peak moth]

Thanks to Dailies the only time I get raided is when I'm doing raids 🤣

[frank nacelle]

Better support for sure.. i put in a ticket for a 3 day event, and never even got a response for 5 days after the event, and even then, they were more concerned about WHAT event (Even though I specifically mentioned Which event on What days) and its now close to 2 weeks later. 24ish hours in-between each message even though I respond Immediately to theirs. If they as me once more which event, I'm just going to tell them to Shove it....

[hoary blade]

You seen something I didn't see anything new for 2022 in that thing other than just saying here's the game

[real forge]

drop some love for Elea Makinen, everyone says she is no good, but how can anyone know, you can't get shards anywhere that i can find, i don't even remember how i got her in the first place.

[brazen prism]

Scopely soon come up with a solution to this big problem? Now that you have merged my server with another, there is already an immediately visible shortage of mining nodes tier 3 and tier 4. How is this solved? You get to read from Scopely that it has no priorities. That is utterly absurd. If you can't get mining spots, you won't get any materials to continue in the game. This problem must be solved very quickly, so that there are enough mining spots tier 3 and 4. This cannot wait weeks, certainly not months. It is urgent and must be done quickly. You can't just merge two large servers without it having any consequences. There is already an immediate need for more mining nodes. Time for action Scopely ! You have merged two large servers in one, but map materials remains the same, you can't do that against players!!!

[tight flower]

yes they can

[sacred garden]

They do that on purpose to force players to buy things at an outrageous price amount. Such as their $100 bp unlock to get all the elite bp and a month token, also their $100 vault rod to unlock the treasury vault. Scopley loves using strong arm tactics to get players to buy instead of putting reasonable price tags to their little cosmetics they release. Which is all it is is cosmetics , you can look that up too. Ps for these cosmetics it would only be $0.99 and no more

[fresh bramble]

Is there a reason the alliance contribution page always resets while looking then only shows the top ten? Inquisitive minds want to know

[iron oak]

Hello Scopely team 👋
So you have merged Servers 168 and 169. In general I think it is an idea to refresh the game situation on both.
However, this merger has so far been a disaster in my opinion.
You have left the mining node number the same (!) even though they we short on 168 before! I request that you extend the available nodes to number of nodes on 168 and 169 combined.
Thank you for your consideration and looking forward to your reply.

[shadow heron]

They want everyone to fight over the nodes so they can sell more packs.

[last nest]

Merges means game is dying yall should know this lol

[polar creek]

Not getting point’s registered. Should have 245 but only showing 240. Galaxy exocomp 5 points not being registered. Need 4/3 hour registered to show points. Please fix.

[digital flax]

Same goes for 166/167 merge 🙂

[dry bridge]

@brazen prism if people were to mass vote 1* on the App Store, and write scathing reviews, I’m convinced something will change.

Also, server merges just means people quitting faster and their player base dropping. The more players there are in a server, the faster people quit, and it slows down the lower the total population goes. By doubling the population by merging 2 servers, you accelerate the number of people leaving, making it worse than two separate severs.

The people who spend, will spend regardless. The people who might spend, or spend a little, will be demotivated and either quit or stop spending, with overall revenue loss.

They are just shooting them selves in the foot

Free to play players are important in freemium games like these, and good developers know not to ignore them. The free players serve the purpose of being genuine interactions for paying players to interact with instead of NPCs. It keeps the game interesting. In forcing out free players, you undermine the fundamental mechanics of how this business model works.

[swift steppe]

I'm very glad to see downtime announced in GC but you def need to announce in discord also since that is what people are used to and receive notice from

[untold orbit]

Server merges aren't necessarily bad or a sign of game dying. In general some players will always quit over time leading to dropping player numbers on a server. Normally these are refilled by new players starting. Now if new players are send to a new server instead the total number of players might be the same but individual servers become more empty. This is solved by periodically merging servers of similar age when numbers drop too low. It is a natural process due to how new players are not placed on old servers

And having too few players leads to to others quitting too. If it's always the same few people in the leaderboards, in pvp and raiding it becomes boring.

If there's always just the same 5 guys you PvP against you already know the outcome of fights and there will be no point in fighting anymore

[maiden dawn]

The answer is very simple. Sell server transfer tokens for $100/$500/$1000 (depending on how much youve sunk into the account) and the provision that you cannot transfer into a server where you will immediately be top X (10? 20? 50? 100?) in power (to stop people from old servers going to a new server and ROFLSTOMPing everyone).

This way, bored players can uproot and go elsewhere to find enjoyment.

Strong People can even communicate off server to relocate to a particular one for a challenge

[untold orbit]

How is paying to move a server better than just merging 2 small servers? Of course they shouldn't merge already crowded servers, that's a given

[loud cove]

What the hell Scopely? No warning???

[dim mulch]

some information would be helpful. is it all us servers? any idea how long? ...or even why?

[craggy saddle]

2 hours

Apparently fixing android lag

[eager wharf]

I got it as well a heads up would be nice

[craggy saddle]

All us servers

[craggy saddle]

If you don't read galaxy chat, that's not scopelys problem 🤷

[dim mulch]

cant read galaxy chat if you're not in game

[eager wharf]

Exactly

[craggy saddle]

It was announced at least an hour earlier

[hearty zenith]

Exactly

While everyone was still sleeping lol

[eager wharf]

lol

[craggy saddle]

Hard for me to feel with you, this announcement came 10 am my time 😓

[hearty zenith]

Was probably 3 or 4 am here

[eager wharf]

Well it’s just now 6am east coast United States

[hearty zenith]

Tried to log in at 5 am

[spiral cradle]

A pet rock has better communication skills, and another mark for the reasons to quit list

[cunning orchid]

a nice banner message or screen flash would be nice, GC is a cesspool on my server, but then again, they cant get attack messages to work either. Nothing on Discord either

[zealous trellis]

GC is not a good place for official notices to come out. That's what the "news" section should be for.

[glad cradle]

There’s no content manager; hence no announcement in discord for unplanned maintenance

[frail inlet]

That server merge was a great idea…

Lag makes takeover unplayable. 20 attacks started, you’re lucky if one goes through. If you are able to enter the system or able to view it

Merge gifts so far have been insignificant, not worth the announcement (and expectation building).
We got merged with a server that has way higher players and bigger ships.
Overall game experience after the merge: abysmal. 0/10

[cerulean juniper]

Are you sure about that 2 hours?

[lavish spruce]

My server has not been merged and every territory takeover where an alliance is actually trying to take a zone is like that.

In fact alliances have learned to use the massive lag to their advantage.

Kind of kills the fun and point of tc.

[cerulean juniper]

I see the maintenance didn’t end on time. So glad to see the ceasefire will. 🙄

[tacit osprey]

-make alliance star base available for EVERY alliance, Not by purchase, not within territorys.

• bring in different skins for star base From the beginning, the whole universe is currently looking boring, as everyone has the Same skins. Give the Players right away the possibillity to customize. For Alliance Star base and user star base.

-dont even think about to bring in any new Content which must be purchased. With the treasury you messed up on a high level

• bring in content from Deep Space Nine!!!!!! Defiant!!!!!

-Allow people to customize their ships on their own!!!!!!!and keep the current skins on top. Provide a lot more skins!!!!! Allow to customize phasers with some basics which should Not be purchased

• Stop events which are actually only intented to purchase something, in Order to win the event. Provide More quality content which is worth to be paid for.

• put events with ranks to every single user Level. Why do I have to challenge with users that have higher level than me? How do you Even think this is fairplay?
  There is NO reason why an event should Not be for every Level each. If you dont do that, then give advice why? What are the reasons I have to challenge users multiple levels above me?

-Bring in more avatars and frames

• currently we have to Pay a lot for good content, this is insane. Have a look on other games, like fortnite. The Basic Game is perfect play and everyone has the same chances. Then they provide high level content with premium skins etc. and the users buy it. Because it is high level fanservice on top, But it has nothing to do with pay for win.

Stop pay for win Scopely, start to bring in Fan Service on top of this game. Else you will loose more and more Players!

[nova sierra]

Support level Scoply

<@&509691205798592532>

[frosty sluice]

Territory takeover Lagg again is an abyssmal joke, impossible to play properly during an active contested takeover. - PLEASE SORT THIS OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL -

[brazen prism]

Ultra extreme lag in TC and on the server

Also time to fix the ultra laggy server

[lavish spruce]

From people I know that code, they won’t ever be able to fix the TC issue. Apparently the whole game is programmed in python, which, from my understanding, isn’t good for coding these types of games.

[brazen prism]

Server was before merge all extreme leggy. Now after the merge ultra ultra ultra extreme laggy, 3 min waiting during TC pvp

[swift steppe]

I've heard android was helped but pc play still crap

[brazen prism]

I'm really that mad. The whole damn merge is one big drama. Who invented this hideous monstrosity? What a mess, not fun anymore.

now only drama, drama, fights, pure misery. Scopely didn't think about the consequences at all

only what you get to hear is nothing

bully players. Nothing more and nothing less. Burying us with drama and unplayable game

Will there be a solution for merge problems??? <@&509691205798592532>

No one from Scopley talks to players

[opal schooner]

What a joke the $copley support became...

[nova sierra]

Nothing counts in Daily events :-/

[surreal condor]

We/mods have been giving feedback on mergers for quite some time; in fact, we were some of the first to be merged for that reason (which sucked). However, that's all we can do -- offer the feedback to Scopely. What they do with it is up to them.

[opaque pebble]

Scopely?
I wait the half day to spend a lot of rare mats, and nothing counts?
Not in daily and not in the event.

[brazen prism]

Scopely does nothing about the feedback,, make a mess for the players and let players drowning

[opaque pebble]

Okay, after 4 restarts and clear cache points are here 👍.
All good.

[white glacier]

That's remarkably self important

[gilded needle]

hi, i have small issue.. just refined things and it not added anything, same goes for chests...

[warm raven]

Same Dune

[white glacier]

#👾-bug-reporting

[gilded needle]

chest kicked in and crashed my game... no rafinery items.

[mild steppe]

New issue, spending officer tokens and not getting credit. No purchase screen rewards, no credit toward daily event,. Opening 10 minute chests, no rewards show. Everything is missing. Yes I did update the app.

[mild kestrel]

To be (shielded), or not to be (shielded); that is the question...

[sacred garden]

The alliance base idea , it sounds ok. Though if you think I’ll don’t to doing it , I have to say you can forget it . At least with how the present alliance donation system is. I flat out refuse to donate to a system that doesn’t give me as an individual anything. I should be getting alliance credits for every donation I make it is how all other games with alliances do it and I refuse to donate we’re i get screwed by doing so

[true zealot]

The contribution daily/event enters the chat...

[true rapids]

Usually those can be achieved through Helps easily enough, and the ticketed event (Mutual Aid) is a lot easier to do via UC Armadas. Can’t think of many events that I’ve needed just contributions (unless I’ve been offline most of the past 24h and just need to rush to finish an event)

[true zealot]

Yes, although sometimes contributing gives more pts. The point being, sometimes you do get a reward. Either rss from event or larger alliance benefits.

[feral holly]

The reward is the expansion of your alliance allowing you to be more competitive in events. The extra helps are useful too

[thin atlas]

Sounds like another cash grab like the POS treasury addition.
And yes Scopley support replies have been progressively expanded in the time frame they get a reply back to a player.
Its all about the money and not about the players.

[chrome thorn]

If I were a brand new player about to download your game and saw this I would stop and think twice

[lavish spruce]

I think they would be more upset that the game doesn’t actually look like that. False advertising, which is actually illegal in the states.

[nova sierra]

eh, do we have maintanence without announcment?

[rigid ledge]

yes.... riot 😂

[worn snow]

Please inform of the maintenance windows. 134 is in maintenance with no warning

[nova sierra]

I must say, Scopely is doing really well - server merges - horrible lags during takeovers, lot of bugs after each release, support which does not communicate and just close the tickets, more pay to win then ever and no shutting down the game without any comms. Well, that was hard week I guess, but it does not end yet. BTW, I am from QA industry so you can hire me if you want do it better 😄

[sudden summit]

Oh no…

[rigid ledge]

if they don't want to spend money for QA, it can´t be better 😂

[worn snow]

I am also QA and a bit tired to be honest to pay to be their QA

[rigid ledge]

spending money on QA reduces the profit

[slender fulcrum]

Maintenance?! Now? Without announcing anything?

[plucky hamlet]

The players doesn't count... terrible

[nova sierra]

yes, normally thats the mindset of the such companies, well if they would know terms like ROI or so and then do some calculations, they could be surprised. Just curious - how much money they will loose because of this? Already saw so many companies who says - we have good devs, we do not need QA. Few years later hires random QA team in panic to solve all quality issues in month without any concept.

[rigid ledge]

I guess the technical debts are already so high in stfc that there is nothing left to save anyway

[dusty geyser]

We the players are QA :p

[nova sierra]

that is quite common strategy 🙂

[narrow bridge]

Confused why doing maintenance on EU servers only and during the day in the EU. Why not simply do it at 02.00UTC when most players will be asleep.

[rigid ledge]

cost more money 😂

[wild bane]

Just confused why there is zero announcements / notice.

Then again.. Scopely so not surprised. Wish there was a 'couldn't organise a p*ss up in a brewery' award I could nominate them for. Though of course they'd turn up to the wrong venue to collect the award when they won it.

[echo bolt]

At least warn us when maintenance is finished so we can rescue stranded miners, please Scopely!

[nova sierra]

it's back now

They warned,just..

[glad trellis]

Anybody got an idea what the maintenance was about?

[peak moth]

I'm full now so I don't mind 🤣 lot's of different buffet's were chosen from 😆

[narrow bridge]

https://stfc.2c.fyi/

[glad cradle]

It happened on APAC and US servers also. Some "back end stuff" that shouldn't require a game update.

[humble gorge]

can the game have an active circle of a different colour around a system where there is still a mission planet(s) in them, that hasn't been finished

[cyan scaffold]

But there is an App Update…

[glad cradle]

The last time I checked yesterday, it hadn't shown up yet. Apple is slow pushing out app updates.

[cyan scaffold]

A team member using Android see no updates atm

[glad cradle]

Apple finally posted the update.

[raw gazelle]

Suggestion: When people report others for doxxing, take it seriously. Sincerely, Server 54

[tepid bramble]

Doxxing? Help an old guy out? Meaning?

[humble gorge]

I've had two updates from apple stores

[hollow pike]

Revealing someone’s identity or other personal details online without their consent

[tepid bramble]

Appreciate that, I figured it out, and said scopy won’t do anything about it. 1) it is a legal gray area that not enough consensus has been made to stand on a certain rule. 2) it’s scopy.

[swift steppe]

So territory is suddenly deep space?

I 'm visiting a non territory alliance is that what it shows to them?

[craggy saddle]

Always has been deep space

[swift steppe]

Guess I'm used to having territory

[red frigate]

maintaince was for what?

same lage as last weeks, kicked out of game, unplayable...

[peak narwhal]

Scopley, pls initiate a Survey: who wants a mega boring time between arcs and who not! The arcs aren’t very entertaining … but this time between arc could shut down as like the whole Servers! So pls do a Survey!If anyone dont want to work, do a 1 week maintenance!!!! @patent nova @vale wasp

[peak narwhal]

One said time between acrs should be relaxed… pls let the community decide!!!! Not one ☝️

[nova sierra]

Pls yes

[empty dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/i-have-to-agree-with-this-michael-che-saturday-night-live-i-agree-approve-for-that-gif-21183171

[true patio]

so basically dont do what you have planned and change it to what we want to be planned?

[marble river]

I got one thing to say damn’ lag in the game!

[sleek fulcrum]

Scopely, please stop adding features to the game and focus on the fundamentals! I want to see more storyline and am looking forward to the DS9 arc; however, game play is TERRIBLE! Lag this evening was horrible. My ships kept freezing after combat, and you have to wait for them to unfreeze to kill the next hostile. Then, the game refused to show my ship after it arrived in an enemy system, so I could warp juke and avoid being killed by thr “cop”. And, many month old bugs keep persisting. Seriously. How about the rare plutonium “1 month” bug? It should take minimal programming to fix it to 1 week. Please debug the game.

[limpid thistle]

Credit given where credit is due - lag is much better after the impromptu maintenance. Can now switch systems almost instantly when it took a few seconds before 👍

[peak narwhal]

It's about one person saying it's supposed to be a very quiet two between the Arcs. But no one is enthusiastic about it. Therefore, the community should be asked, the result can be representative and implemented accordingly.

It is always suggested that the voice of the community is important, that would be the first proof that action is also taken accordingly!

The game is nothing and dead without community

[subtle nacelle]

Why are survey parts treated so much differently to interceptor, explorer and battleship?

There are 2 sets of research to reduce required parts for Int, Exp, and Bat ships. None for survey

7 day and 30 day loyalty chests give common, uncommon parts for Int, Exp and Bat … but no survey

4* survey is the first 4* ship you get. Being unable to upgrade it at all is just a horrible experience moving into 4* space. I fell completely stuck, I can’t upgrade a miner to mine enough, to get enough from refinery. It’s insane

[true patio]

except there already is a plan and the content creators in the know. know exactly what that is. plus theirs going to be an april fools day event anyway so it wont be quiet which is exactly why faction hunt lasts 1 day.

[peak narwhal]

But we don't have a 1st between the arcs every time. April! In addition, we only hear empty talk, there are plans, there are plans... but it is as before, only empty words and nothing happens. In the best case, half-baked things

[true patio]

yeah special month. of course last 2 in between arcs they chopped off the 3rd day faction hunt and only kept the alb for it which also sucked and we info'd that at em.

[peak narwhal]

First i m Talking about the whole time between arcs… second the arcs have to be much more interesting and more exciting. Always: use mats, kill hostiles, mining, etc…. Missions are stupid too: read, fly, some poor fights and fly again. Sometimes donate… sry but missions and story’s are waste of time to create like this!

[true patio]

well they are using what theyve got and apparently cant even implement the new stuff they want to implement properly anyways so id be excited if there wasnt a new updat that didnt have a couple problems first few seconds.

[peak narwhal]

Thats definitely not enough what scopley have!

[true patio]

i still say if they are gonna have a hostile kill limit then it should have a denominator to display that and when it resets. of course they should also revamp some of the stuff so its not just a monotonous drag though that would probably take 2 years without giving any arc or stuff besides regular everyday stuff to do for us.

programming is hard sure but its not as hard as they make it out to be. however there does need to be knowledge that 1 device may implement their code 1 way and a different device may not even implement it so their is some patch work. plus giving values to things then having code go read for them and hoping it doesnt read code from a different sequeence of commands.

[peak narwhal]

We would all have an infinitely better game. and above all a game that even partially lives up to the name Star Trek. If we worked together as community and game developers! But for this, both parties would have to want that, not just one...

[true patio]

you give them a couple million and theyll listen im sure lol

[peak narwhal]

Not funny

[true patio]

your right its hillarious

[slender fulcrum]

today on 1st april foolsday i think that scopely will start an event without bugs and all ingame-shop-packages will have normal prices 😝

[lilac yew]

It would be nice if they actually give you what you pay for…. Fraud

[mild kestrel]

Realistically a mobile game with the underlying basic mechanics of ST:FC is NEVER going to have deep, engaging missions. Period. About the most real "engagement" you ever get from an ST:FC mission is when you have to complete a certain set of missions to unlock something, like, say, Augment space, or the Franklin

I'm honestly kinda impressed that they manage to get as much depth as they do into a game designed with the fundamental constraint that it has to be playable on a mobile phone with only one possible human interface event: "Touch the screen."

It's like having a complex machine tool that you can only interact with by hitting it with a stick.

[nova sierra]

So another day, another issues. Event store Broker (really 4m coins for one chest?) Points to event not counting again..and no reaction to any kind of feedback by <@&509691205798592532> again

[young cliff]

Considering the date, odds are it's an April Fools joke and the prices will be fixed tomorrow.

[nova sierra]

I seey interesting to release event where can just some people perricipate as my points are not counted from mining

[native ice]

New event has got to be a wind up

[young cliff]

Ah, the points not counting is probably a legitimately broken portion. The chest costs are likely lame april fools though.

[tall atlas]

He Scopely, listen to the feedback!

[fallen epoch]

The store closes in 6 hours 🤔 is that a joke too

[young cliff]

That would be my guess. Most likely the countdown until they fix the prices

[swift steppe]

So when do the real events come out?

[heavy bough]

What an amazing exchange rate 😂

[dry bear]

WHERE IS OUR FACTION HUNT WE WERE COUNTING ON THIS IS A WASTE OF TIME MORONS

[heavy bough]

Happy April 1st m8

[slender fulcrum]

If this is an April Fool's joke, then scopely didn't understand that almost nothing in their past has been a bit funny and the community doesn't really find funny after all the crap that's been screwed up

[gritty harness]

Not amused Scopley

[stone fog]

The news about the coins came after I collected… does this mean Im screwed and will only get the ridiculously low amount of 2000 coins. When shards/bps are like 34mil

[shell berry]

It's the one day of the year where Scopely developers can say the bugs encountered in the game were actually intended

[swift steppe]

"Business as usual", VERY WELL NAMED!!

[stone fog]

They seriously need to start sending there news before event starts… this isnt the first time they sent after everyone has already done something that wasnt ready yet!

[potent crystal]

No point in participating in this

A complete waste of a week time

[subtle badge]

You stopped faction hunt for this shame on you

[hollow agate]

Is the coins needed and the time of 6 hours for store a April fools joke

[fluid granite]

34m coins needed and yet you get 700 odd on the sms

[subtle badge]

Give us back faction hunt

[river wadi]

The Quark Coin is worth less than the Ruble!

[nova sierra]

Did anyone bother to read the event description? It says to check event store prices often because quark coin is volatile. Looks like they’re making fun of cryptocurrencies a bit and part of the idea is to make people decide when to sell and when to HODL. Give it a chance. Could be fun.

[heavy marten]

AppStore Update M40.2.0 is available for download.

[hazy trail]

Yes.. and then we get to spend our time looking at something every hour in the hopes of catching that rock bottom price… something tells me you haven’t played very long.

[hollow pike]

Spoiler: it’s a 3 day mining event. It won’t be fun

[sage ravine]

it's also an awful april fools joke. They mess up enough events as it is by accident. Now they do it on purpose as well..... -_-

[peak narwhal]

And again, The incompetence can no longer be surpassed, scopley!!! Sell the game to someone who can do it better (it’s not a challenge to do it better!)or hire good employees!

[noble thicket]

Great event design, Scopely! Here's an event where the only way to score is building or tiering a D'Vor and/or Feesha, except we won't give players the blueprints or parts to complete the event. What a waste of time.

[pulsar loom]

You know, I’d they really wanted to have fun, they’d eventually lower the store prices, but keep one prize at an impossible tier - Tal

[noble thicket]

A full unlock of Tal, too. Maybe even a max Tal

[brazen prism]

FIX THOSE SERVER LAGS NOW!!!! AFTER THE MERGE SERVER IS ULTRA EXTREME LAGGY DO NOT PLAY, THERE IS SERVER WAR, WITH 3 MIN SERVER LAG IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO PVP!!!!

How can you defending yourself when ultra server lag

Server lag, cost tons of materials. Scopely don't give that be either

scopely gives players monstrous merge, mega server lags, loss of millions of resources, unplayable game

[brazen oracle]

I understand the joke with this event, and maybe another time it would have been funny. But it comes across as very tone deaf right now. It feels like your making a joke about fire while your house is actively burning down

[brazen prism]

Joke is very bad when your server is merged and whole server is on fire and in total war

[eager bison]

This is a joke, right? April fool…

[golden river]

Yep, Event Store still overpriced.

[past remnant]

It's a tone def event. Filliping stupid people thinking they were going to be funny, and the joke is dead. Going from 43M to 29M for a chest pull is flipping dumb.

The whole "Keep checking threw out the weekend", just shows how badly events are planed. For the first event chest clock... Sure maybe. But making people wait any longer then that, is just pathetic.

Also "Let's add ANOTHER MINING EVENT! People love mining events right?"
-No, no we don't.

[lime bough]

We could name it Star Mine Trek, or Star Trek Undermined 🤣

[burnt gazelle]

today's April Fool's event was terrible and the developer's who are telling people "I can show you print screens of people thinking it is funny." Sure, just because you can find some people who like it, y'all need to listen to the majority complaining in Discord, Youtube, etc.

[pseudo shore]

The screenshots of people saying that they think it was funny are fooling scopley, smh

[civic jay]

The scaling for rewards/packs for lvl 40+ needs to be adjusted to better suite the degree of materials needed to upgrade Buildings & Ships for the perspective ops levels and 4* or 5* ships. Afterall this is supposed to be a FTP but leans heavy PTP to advance and build.

[brazen prism]

Fix the server lags!!!!!!

How can go do pvp and defending your shipa with server lag like dying grandmother

Fix it

[nova sierra]

The Devs suck

[blazing fog]

why are the announcment chans removed?

[humble gorge]

Does this mean we have to be tired of Quark or be wary?

[sour dew]

Fix the lag on Server 29 please

Sorry if tagging you is wrong in this but I'd like this to be passed on.

I just went through the recent survey and one of the question was how difficult I found it to unlock the lockbox.
Are they honestly asking how difficult it was to pay 100€ to open a subpar pack?
Because that is what that question sounds like.
It is, in my opinion, an extremely dumb question as obviously there is nothing difficult about it.
It is a motivation question.

[surreal condor]

I suspect they meant the 700 (I think) points required before you were offered the pack. But I will pass along that the question was not specific enough.

[earnest granite]

Nonono. It specifically said "unlock once it was full"
I did a triple take on it

[surreal condor]

Weird.

Thanks for letting us know. That is definitely a "huh". 🤣

[potent silo]

It's maybe super hard entering your 💳 infos for some, who know 🙊

[compact mirage]

Need more sourcing for ship parts

[tepid robin]

Thank you Scopely for the best April Fool's ever. The event was pretty funny and heaps better than Tribbles, I really appreciated a change of idea. But the funniest was watching Discord Channels go off with players not being able to take a joke. I am a serious player, and I find the game frustrating at times, but I also have a sense of humour and I thought that was brilliant. I have been laughing all day and into the next, mostly from the reactions of the players. So good, thanks!

[past remnant]

Anyone know how long it takes for someone to get back to you via the STFC website? I filed a ticket on Monday, and it's now Sunday with no reply. <@&509691205798592532>, <@&509691611903426561>

[vale wasp]

If you haven't received a ticket number at all, then you should probably contact them via a different method, like email, in the link #👽-how-to-contact-support . They may not have received the request.

[delicate tendon]

Is the ingame support ni longer working? Posted a ticket last Saturday still waiting for an answer?

[vale wasp]

The above message also applies to you

[delicate tendon]

Received a ticket nr, also tried contacting over the chat on the Website.

[past remnant]

Received a ticket number along with the auto message saying that it might take them 48 hours.

[vale wasp]

Then it's in their system, and they're working on it. What kind of issue was it?

[past remnant]

I can't get to a system for a mission. Range needed for the system is 30, and my ship has a range of 31.

[vale wasp]

did you try using scotty? or ghrush?

[past remnant]

Yep.

[vale wasp]

in general, there will be missions you can't reach until your ships are more developed. And lots of players archive high warp req ones for later

[past remnant]

Used both on my Envoy, and I can get to the systems just before Andoria (where I need to go). But sadly I can't get to it.

[vale wasp]

Are you trying to use pike or picard in an attempt to boost the number? he doesn't work for non-combat abilities

he'll falsely boost the effects of scotty/ghrush, and display a fake number on the client

[past remnant]

No, I had L'Nar as the captain.

I get the message "The warp path you have specified is invalid"

[vale wasp]

who are the crew members?

[past remnant]

L'Nar, Scotty and Ghrush.

[vale wasp]

what tier is your envoy? do you have the warp module in the next tier? And what tier is your scotty and ghrush?

[past remnant]

Maxed Envoy, cdt. Scotty is Maxed and gives +5 range, Ghrush is LT. jg 2. which gives +8%

[vale wasp]

what system are you trying to reach?

[past remnant]

Andoria.

[vale wasp]

I'd clear localization if your warp range shows 31. That's higher than mine and the graphic might be sticky

matching your crew and ship, I have 29 warp

[past remnant]

KK. Ship is repairing since I was grinding NPCs. But I'll swap the ship and crew in a min and see what I get.

[past remnant]

Did as you asked, and showing warp range 29 now too.

Odd, that something was giving me an extra 2 points for range. But such is life. Thanks for the help @vale wasp

[glad cradle]

Under normal circumstances yes; but coming after two very horrible arcs, most players didn't like the joke. It's not important that many may not have read the description in detail; Scopely's timing was extremely poor.

[half ginkgo]

D'Vor & D'Vor Feesha:
Please allow the DF to mine Latinum Nodes at least as well as the D1.

Reasoning:
As a player progresses in the game, each new survey, intended for the next Grade Materials, has surpassed its predecessor in mining rate.
G1 Mats: the Envoy mines faster than the Fourtunate.
G2 Mats: the Horizon bests the Envoy
ETC...
Franklin: the F2 bests the F1.
It seams to me that the time invested in the D'Vor to obtain its best mining rate and warp range shouldn't be lost when trading it in for a Feesha. As the Feesha is an upgraded D'Vor it should still have the same warp range and mining abilities of a normal D'Vor.

I realize this view may not fit a vision your team had layed out. If asked, I suspect the community would agree with my logic. Please consider a "research" or other means to restoretv those lost abilities.
My best to all.
Thank you
doc31r

[latent kindle]

Tbh Scopely need to shake up their content. Far too many boring armada events, the treasury needs a rethink (crass price point), the April fools joke was pathetic, reward to effort ratio in the arcs has degenerated. The loss rate of players on our server is growing. Oh and I forgot to mention the exceedingly dull new ships and very poor understanding of the importance of game balance.

[mint sable]

can we get 1 thing instead of 3?? or is just me??

[molten sequoia]

[slow mirage]

@here
We NEED D'Vor PARTS!!!

PARTS!!!
Not blueprints.

PARTS

These PARTS

No more blueprint sourcing in the event store. We need PARTS

PARTS!!!!!!!!

[hollow pilot]

Games just full of bullies now and money making scopley no fun in it anymore that’s 👎👎

[tranquil herald]

Yep

[lunar narwhal]

Goto Refinery, Latinum, Dvor parts.. may help if you have the lat...

[sacred tulip]

This is a much better armada event.

[tepid robin]

Actually I want blueprints too. Stop asking for less of stuff that other people might want or need

[sage shuttle]

both blueprints and parts should be in event store, especially for those newer players

[sage shuttle]

anyone else finding that scoring points in dailies is extremely laggy since event reset yesterday?

[glass elbow]

how do you access the multiphasic store?

[ruby epoch]

Why everything delay

Notif, daily goal point

Event poin

[forest rock]

Purchase packs via the web store or PC client, and you get metaphasic credits.

[quiet onyx]

There are so many issues with this game from high price packs to multiple in game bugs, it makes me wonder if Scopely are putting enough time into truly listening to the players concerns.

Also event milestones are set way too high especially this one that will end soon , over 300 million to complete, that's equivalent to 60 uncommon or 20 rare or 10 epic armadas (approximately) to complete.

The event I mentioned was for eclipse armada event that just happen recently.

[feral holly]

Hit Eclipse traders, damage counted too

Easiest event we've had in ages to be honest

[vale wasp]

In general, it's good to evaluate the scoring methods before you trying completing them so that you choose the easier path. This "armada" event was actually a hostile-killing one and only took a couple hulls to finish

[feral holly]

The armada loot was nice too though 😉

[vale wasp]

Yeah, lots were running in the background for me too. With 2 stellas, it was possible to earn credits and level the other for hostile pts

[subtle nacelle]

Why is there 2 different sets of research for these, and none for survey parts?

First 4* ship is a survey, first time I’ve needed to care about this

[swift steppe]

SO PC IS DOWN??? I hope you realize some people are only on PC so they're just screwed while everyone else steals them blind?

<@&509691205798592532>

[marble badger]

Pc is down. Wth 🤦‍♂️

Come on! Get those mice back on the treadmill. The server needs power! 🤬

Scopely please check your internet!

[lunar narwhal]

Or your host...

[split flower]

me tooooooooooooo

[dark sundial]

So I'm wondering where to request to have a us server 80 channel added so we can post the S80 Discord there and what not. Not sure if there's a process. It's it acceptable to ping mods here for it?

Seems so based on history, <@&509691205798592532> ^^^ If you could let me know, thanks so much. :-)

[terse oasis]

UTC in game wrong

[gritty scroll]

Scopely can't calculate, well if that's surprising

[pliant ridge]

I guess they aren’t aware that Daylight savings doesn’t apply to UTC

[fading flame]

lol Scopely just removed my feedback 🤣

[slender fulcrum]

scopely... seriously. i'm worried. Are you guys ok? No one in their right mind can be serious about this.

[visual oar]

Lots of rewards-good arc. Crap rewards-crap arc. That’s all that really matters in these updates.

[harsh valve]

Do you guys understand what the C in UTC stands for?!??

[cerulean juniper]

Wouldn’t the U be more appropriate?

[glad cradle]

💩?

[worn snow]

Amalgam, feesha, cerrritos….nothing for a level 28, 29, 30 player…. Close to quiting

[frail inlet]

At that level you are really still in the tutorial of the game

[noble berry]

Coordinated. Google be your friend.

[weary haven]

What a stupid Event and a complet Design break.

[frail inlet]

The design break is an issue, I agree. I’m also doubtful the support ship idea will be worth it - warp range probably gonna be the biggest issue again

And most likely everything is behind paywalls and competitive events again

Especially the new officers

[tacit osprey]

As scopely just deleted my message, because they dont want to hear the truth, I give it a new try:

• a new ship which many players cannot farm until they have reached level 36 (this goes for Amalgan and Feshas as well). What shall I do at level 32, make a fatal buy rush so I reach level 36 within the next days?
• A heavy break in Design and Content
• We have sent plenty of feedback what should be changed. This Game is now like a car with only 2 wheels and you keep installing rearview mirrors from bikes.

I dont even think that scopely is reading this feedback in here. How could they, it is a message channel, there is no feedback / incidents managing at all.

[nova sierra]

Even in game it takes a week to get an answer from support about any issues, scoply is getting worse at listening to its customers.

[slim wagon]

They cater to the whales man, and apparently the whales were like let’s have some animated Star Trek stuff! They won’t fix problems because the neckbeard whales gives shoveling money into their accounts

[versed tangle]

Readability on the splash screen needs some work...

[crude sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/i-thought-it-would-be-funny-prank-its-a-joke-i-thought-it-would-be-hilarious-prankster-gif-15786895

[nova sierra]

Pc Version: The new lower decks splash screen is too bright in the bottom and reading the text there now is a challenge (loading info, version of the game)
Edit: oh it was already posted, sorry

[sullen matrix]

would love to give an option to switch splash screen to something not containing cartoon characters

its enough to have to endure them ingame now

[bitter hearth]

report pizza for complllaining 😄

[olive nacelle]

Majority of players are (older) guys with family’s etc……….looking at the new characters (Badgey!) and rubbish Anime graphics…….I would say you just completely misjudged your core players/target market.
But maybe I’m the only one now thinking……not for me!

[slender fulcrum]

@olive nacelleno, you're not

[glad cradle]

Complaining before you use the new stuff…hmm. I’m reserving judgment until I’m actually using the new stuff.

[devout yacht]

I’ll add this ship to the list of things I refuse to pay for in a free to play game. There is a different between pay to win and pay to participate.
We all knew it was pay to win from the start and although not great we can accept it. Now the game is pay to play. No thanks.

[tranquil dew]

There’s a free source from next month

[icy umbra]

Apologies if already said, on the run and no time to check - it’s a mistake to have cartoons on the start screen - you’ve made it look like a child’s game and it’s one thing to be ridiculed for a sci-fi game, another that someone will tell me I’m playing a game aimed at 10 year olds… you should change this, seriously think people will be embarrassed to log in when in public. the ship could be good and the below decks could be good, just waiting to see how it plays out but I’m hopeful at least - but change the start screen

[versed tangle]

Pretty sure the world has got the message that cartoons aren't solely for 10 year olds any more. I really don't think you have to be embarrassed.

(Just tell them it's Rick and Morty in space or something.)

[slender fulcrum]

it doesn't fit to the rest of this universe... that's what I'm complaining

[dusky sage]

Cartoons before deep space and voyager. WT-actual-F

[versed tangle]

Yeah that's fair. I find the stylistic difference jarring as well.

[dusky sage]

South Park and several other source also references Star Trek in the past, I’m now waiting for officer Cartman, and captain Butthead

[versed tangle]

You do get the difference between a pop culture joke and an actual licensed property, right?

[dusky sage]

I think that difference is less relevant than the difference between live action and a drawing. Since we crossed that line now, why stop there? Let’s do a crossover with the Care Bears , they live in the sky as well

[vale wasp]

There's no crossover in this game, it's all ST IP, and LD is part of that

[dusky sage]

Until they run out of ideas. I’m calling it now: next year Care Bears

[slender fulcrum]

OPTICAL... crossover... that burns in my eyes

[empty grail]

Is this a Late first of April joke? Incredible crap

[glad cradle]

How do you know it's crap even before you tried it?

[crude sandal]

The cartoons touched them in their adulthood I think...

What age are you meant to stop liking entertainment? I missed the memo 😄

[glad cradle]

I'm reserving judgment until I try the new content.

[spice osprey]

Simply find it totally out of style…all characters so far were based on some way „real“ characters and not something like Badgey!? Really? Not speaking about lower deck functionality or so but that could have been implemented by more fitting characters, or! This only look out of place and I am annoyed by such lack of care-really takes a lot of the fun out of this for me

[dusky sage]

It’s not about whether you like cartoons or not. Anyone can choose to watch those or not. It’s about choosing to spend your time on something and then having cartoons inserted into that. It’s like saying “you enjoy watching NBA? From now on each league game will feature a character from SpaceJam”

[tacit gate]

Just take your time... why bother now.. you can have it when you reach

[spice osprey]

Yes I like Pizza and sushi but when I order a Pizza I not want Sushi on it - unasked

[crimson elm]

Another arc where the ship must be paid for to have it during the arc…junk.

[glad cradle]

You never have to pay for anything you don't want to

It's just going to take time to get it f2p

[tacit gate]

you just overreact... we all do the same.. we rush the missions and then back to dailies.. you dont like it? dont buy it. its as simple as that.. Dont like Badgy? just dont lvl him up...so he will be on the other end and you dont need to watch him.

[spice osprey]

Hi Aska, I am very factual stating that these new characters are simply out of style - sorry but not see how this is overreacting. If you have a different view I appreciate that but please do not belittle my views by calling them overreacting. Thank you

[hushed atlas]

Is there any truth in the rumour that scopely had the option to release either DS9 arc, Voyager arc or lower decks arc, and due to a massive brain haemorrhage, the guy choosing just mashed the keyboard with his forhead while sending the email, which is how scopely dumped this turd of an arc upon us?

[tacit gate]

Hey there 🙂 well you said its lack of care... its star trek and they did a good job with the models. I dont understand why it is crap or "out of style"... its star trek and it looks different,, but somehow it fits.
The game is still the game..nothings changed that you cant play it anymore. A Pizza with sushi? im with you. But the game is theirs which were allowed to use. Thats why i say "overreacting". Nothing personal!

[obtuse nacelle]

Good thing we got a new ship to help us! Things are sooo hard to kill 🙄

[gilded pollen]

The idea with the lower deck functions sounds promising. And I also understand if you want to save license costs. But to be honest, I find cartoon characters quite inappropriate here, they don't fit into the previous image. Still on the Star Trek topic at all

[dusky sage]

The least they could have done was apply artistic license to render those characters so they were similar to the rest, or in 3D

[spice osprey]

I guess the business model of scopely would not fly if they would not allow anyone to use their game - like you word it. As a Customer - not a „whale“ but having spend the one or other dollar in the PAST I would hope feedback it taken serious and as a lot others state here…nothing about not being Star Trek or the functionality but it is different visual style which I find not fitting at all

[tacit gate]

this feedback could be heared if they asked for it. Now its to late 🙂 they wont change a complete arc...they cant... i can remember ppl cryin about the RoA arc.. and what was changed?

[jaunty dune]

Yes, I find that inappropriate too, and it also seems extremely cheap.

I could have drawn figures like that. But that would have been more lifelike

[forest rock]

Post up your drawings, I'd like to see them.

[spice osprey]

No need to cancel the arc…the could rework the new characters and give them a fitting look style and correct with the next update…just an idea but of course that costs money and not realistic to assume that - ignoring this feedback will be for sure cheaper…

[tacit gate]

dont you think rework a carton character would take something from this character? its not the same ppl watched on tv... its different. Lower decks has many fans.

[frail magnet]

I like lower decks and I think it’s fun to have these characters. Is there any news on existing officers getting any lower decks abilities? It would especially make sense for some engineering characters who don’t spent their lives on the bridge

[vale wasp]

Geordi and the Scotties definitely need this

[median gyro]

Star Trek Online had a 3D interpretation of these characters. But then they changed them to 2D, anyways. Now I have these bone-rigged cardboard cutouts gracing the transporter pad.

It's just such a style clash.

[humble gorge]

i don't get this, i did research for parsteel, tritanium, and dilithium mining speeds, none of which have shown an increase in speeds

[mossy marten]

i hate these cartoon characters!

[ripe radish]

Content creators had me excited....reality didn't deliver. No money for you this month Scopely. Cant reward garbage.

[stoic veldt]

Scopely has put us into a cartoon with this latest update! And you can get your new California class ship at the Cerritos Auto Square! 😂

[balmy spear]

Hrmm... new content geared mostly toward lv 36 and up it seems.

Guess ill be able to be excited for it in about a year when I get to lv 36 from 28 😆

Way to take the p*ss out of your playerbase for the 3rd month in a row!

[dry matrix]

Anyone else having ridiculous performance and cache issues still? I was hoping this latest update would fix it, but it seemed to make it worse. Daily Goals barely update even when accomplishing the tasks, sometimes only minutes afterwards or after restarting the game?

[jolly mesa]

yea its become almost unplayable since the start of the ferengi arc (for me, at least)

[alpine elk]

Thanks scopley for gift chest……it was awesome, greatly appreciated and useful! 👏👏

[dry matrix]

Same

[jolly mesa]

I can't minimise the game now in android. before i would have the game minimised and come back to it from time to time. Now I have to manually close the game and restart every single time, otherwise i get things like

• permanent orange wifi low icon plastered on my screen (ironic as im on 5G)
• or if a mine has hit 0 and I want to refresh, it tells me my ship is still on the node when it isn't.
• systems have no hostiles in
• systems have no people in
  10/10 scopely

[clever orbit]

anyone elses battlepass giving way less uncommon g3? im in 32-36 bracket

it gave 250 or so in 31 bracket last bp

[kindred geode]

Who came up with ridiculous idea of including the lowers decks , it’s useless, they won’t be getting any money outta me for this stupid arc

[clever orbit]

lvl 31 in my alliance, same milestone, i'm lvl 32

[jolly mesa]

Oh look had the game tabbed and now ive no events

[fading adder]

Well hate the new update. Nearly everyone who plays this game I'd an adult. Personally not watched the cartoon.... but are you saying this comes before ds9 or enterprise..

Sorry but if we are making this game childish alot will quit.

Love the concept of lover expects

Ds9 and enterprise deserve a space way before this

[white lion]

I said much the same thing Williams…but in pithier language (and my post is…..missing) 😂

[devout ermine]

Oh nice! Much less materials in the battle pass than previous arcs. Keeping my $20 then 👍

[white lion]

Pfft. Why am I not surprised? Goes down each arc

[vagrant gyro]

The images of the lowerdeck characters are rubbish. There are plenty of Canon characters that could have been used, dev's just run out of characters. As there have said DS9 and Voyger should have been added first, not to mention Enterprise.

[tacit jay]

I am loving the writing of this first mission, good job.

and for all of you crying about a cartoon, Lower Decks is the best of the new trek. It's hilarious and full of in-canon references. Don't judge a show by its visual style.

[mossy marten]

the first players are breaking with the game and leaving because of the new arc..

[fallen epoch]

This is the last tri/crystal milestone of the battlepass screenshot 1 free pass second one is elite. The amount of uc materials in this pass is incredibly low 🤷‍♂️

Normally this has 140+ if I remember correctly

[mental dawn]

I think it was more than obvious that Battlepass rewards are reducing, but the amount that is offered now is not just borderline insult. It is ridiculous.

[broken chasm]

Regardless of whether it is a good show it doesn’t fit with the visual style of this game. It cheapens the game by mixing visual styles.

[tacit jay]

if that's the rack you want to hang your hat on, then so be it, but considering every other arc is 'we fell through a rip in space and ended up here!' to explain how we get TNG et. al, It doesn't really bother me. It's just a game, it's not like you're staring at the characters outside of assigning their avatar to the ship or upgrading the officer.

[half ginkgo]

I would like to share my appreciation for the improvements to the Research Tree. A very nice improvement. It appears to me that the Devs are working towards a new layout, which I applaud. I envision a similar layout as that used in the Refinery. Well done Scopely! Thank you for your continued progress and support of this great community of player.

[white lion]

How brown is your nose?
There are plenty of other games out there with cartoon characters. This has no need to become like those. And yet, here we go.
And, ultimately, off I go.

[rose copper]

This new arc and BS cartoon is LAME not getting a BP out of me his time scopely. Total fail …..I’d rather do apex events for a month than this

[weak grove]

battlepass sucks ass.

no skipped the last one because it was just trash, but this one is ridiculous. get a grip on yourself scopely and grow yourselves a brain ffs -.-

[glass hull]

Cartoons?! Really?! I guess Scopely did not review the demographic that pays to play their game! Or realize most are here to get away from cartoon childrens games!!!

[sturdy girder]

Come on most that play this game are adults or even retirees this is lame why cartoons???

I'm not buying this battle pass it's lame completely uncool scopely! Last battlepass was bad and this is horrible

[tacit needle]

Elite Battlepass for me! Bring on the cartoons ;)

[white lion]

Each to their own, I guess

[stuck linden]

This might come as a surprise to you, but loads of cartoons are made for adults & many of us thoroughly enjoy them.

Don't be such a stick in the mud.

[sturdy girder]

Don't like my opinion then get over it

[trail rampart]

Thought this was an adult game. Really dissapointing. Looks very childish. Well that's saved me spending money this month.

[open ravine]

It should save a lot more money if you look at the rewards in the battle pass.

[glossy bramble]

The people complaining about the cartoons have got to be trolls right?

Below Decks is an adult Cartoon, like the simpsons, South Park, Family guy etc....

[open ravine]

"like the simpsons, South Park, Family guy etc...."? no...I have not laughed once

[vale wasp]

Clear localization to get the correct bp rewards, might take a few times.

[merry lagoon]

No arc specific FAQ this time?

[willow raven]

Yeah I don’t get it either. Complain about the ship being behind a paywall again. Complain about real problems. Don’t complain about the show’s graphic style.

[glossy bramble]

Good for you? Millions of others have and continue to. Just because YOU don't enjoy something does not mean there isn't a market that does. That's entitlement level complaining "Oh, I don't like this thing, but a huge amount of other people do, they must be wrong."

[craggy saddle]

Hate to ask this, but have you restarted your device?
Also, what Version of Android do you have?

[lone lichen]

hello or good evening everyone. I do not dispute the fact that this new arc is related to a cartoon for adults, but until then the game was in realism. Too bad, off topic in my opinion.

[restive frigate]

Cartoons, what the heck is that? Reflects the nursery level of the developers. You should rather improve the stability and performance of the game.

[glossy bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-fly-uh-um-well-i-dont-know-what-to-say-gif-4132049

[craggy saddle]

The cartoon style isnt Scopely's fault 😉
And keep in mind, not only adults play this game, so they have to offer something to the younger generation playing this

[glossy bramble]

This is when I sit here and go "Eh, Boomers gonna Boomer"

[lapis radish]

I love the cartoon character, and I'm well above the legal drinking age, I think they're really fun honestly. Bet yall wouldn't be complaining if it were from the first animated star trek series. Also I don't hear anyone complaining about the Borg Tribble

[marble hull]

Android app glitches when recall ship for about a week now

[craggy saddle]

How so exactly?

[marble hull]

It goes back to the same spot it's recall from

[hollow kernel]

Love this arc, it is not like it was very believable that all tng, tos, ds9 and kelvin universe characters are all in the same universe. Stands to reason to bring in a bit of star trek humor

[marble hull]

@craggy saddle

[craggy saddle]

Then you ship is stuck. Message C/S, unless you want it to be stuck forever

[mossy marten]

but there could have been alternative ways to introduce these cartoon stuff into the game. like special exocomps: let a lower decks officer read a comic, and therefore gain a buff.

that would have been a simple way to introduce that mechanics and would not break the style of the game.

[gentle hill]

What happened to the 30 days chest? Its gone!

[craggy saddle]

It isnt for me?

[gentle hill]

It is on Apple Devices

And we updated

Im on pc and Android, not missing here. Weird

[frigid willow]

@twilit mango Nice gift box for First Contact Day. Thank you!

[nova sierra]

I don't think it's fair to require building the ship to access the new refinery, not with a ship that require a so high level to build in the first place

[keen umbra]

Your new “help” section to report is too narrow and doesn’t allow for just reporting an issue. I am not able to save bookmarks. i currently have 29. What is the limit?

[mild crane]

Why are the event rewards not listed in the event calendar this month? That really inhibits a players ability to plan and prioritize which events to go for and when to spend materials, and they have been included in all the past calendars I can remember.

[burnt gazelle]

Maybe watch the show before forming an opinion? Or, one could consider the spirit of Star Trek and realize that in a universe of Andorians, Klingons, Orions, etc. a two dimensional life form in a cartoon style could be a viable lifeform

[daring yoke]

One para bellum and one jellyfish brawl per month??? ... Cheap scopely

[vital bone]

Stop the current event. This looks stupid

[graceful lotus]

So if you are going to make changes to the 30 day chests by adding stuff, ANNOUNCE it so we don't buy our chest and then get the shaft like quite a few of my people did by opening a 30 day yesterday. I'm sure there are more people out there that this happened to. Comp us the items we are missing that you added please.

[storm glacier]

My opinion about this new event ?
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[rose copper]

Can’t wait to see RevDeuce spin this one

[gaunt prism]

Of all the iterations of Star Trek, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, Picard, they picked a comedy cartoon that isn’t even available in many parts of the world, because it’s on Paramount +, which hasn’t been fully rolled out internationally. Well done, Scopely. (Slow hand clap…)

[tranquil dew]

I get it on Amazon

[sturdy girder]

This entire update is a dumpster fire! Awful choice as far as what show you choose to do a major arc on. Reduction of events that allow player to progress (slowly) without spending money. Another ship only partially unlock through battle pass. Poor mechanics involving new officers. Awful design of said officers. All around just not feeling it with this last installment. I will not be purchasing this battlepass and I'm aware of a few in my alliance who agree with what I am saying and likewise will not be purchasing. Poor poor choice and a disappointment in regards to scopley

[muted nexus]

Is it possible to change what you can contribute to your team?

[crude sandal]

As in, steel /trit vs trit/dil?

It swaps round every five alliance levels

[muted nexus]

Ok thanks. Contributing 9.5 million parsteel and 1.8 million tritanium really blows

[crude sandal]

I don't have the breakdown per level anymore, it was on lcars... Not sure if its on the other botnow?

[bright saddle]

i have ktinga, what is the fastes way to build up im at 6,800,000, where can i inprove fast or can some one explain it please

[sacred crypt]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[bright saddle]

i know to farm ot purchase

[edgy harness]

4* ships it’s all about the research.

You can be a couple tiers weaker on parts, but have your researches on point and beat “bigger” ships regularly.

[bright saddle]

could you please what type or research i can pick, construction or what. certain ones. please highlight.

[edgy harness]

Take the time to read your research options and understand what they do and what they affect. Otherwise someone else is playing your game for you.

[bright saddle]

tku sir

[bright saddle]

where do you find that sir options

hehehe

[brazen prism]

This graphics looks very weird

[brazen oracle]

I've complained in this channel a lot, so I'll give props where props are due - this arc looks great. Great free chest, great communication on f2p paths for new things, great job adding a f2p path for the Treasury. Thank you for listening to feedback.

[crude sandal]

Great (and timely) implementation on the paths... Not sure if the comms can be called great, as they came via third parties 👀😇

[hoary blade]

Ya I opened mine yesterday now I see it's changed that sucks big time maybe they should give us the change of it was used with in 24 hours @patent nova

[final osprey]

By far the dumbest arc yet!

[terse forum]

Why the hell am I (lvl 41) grouped with a lvl 57+ in the SLB?

[elder pollen]

Trying not to feel bummed out, trying to find some enthusiasm, but I don’t know what to think, and I’m trying to remember why I started playing this game, because whatever that was is gone now

[main snow]

Really really dislike the cartoon characters

[trail wraith]

The cartoon characters look completely out of place in the game

[orchid pulsar]

Really bad call on adding the cartoon characters. Really bad.

[blissful delta]

Disappointed in the ARC, so far.

[woven gust]

Maxing Combat ship research is obvious of course.

Off the top of my head...you want as high as you can get for the 4* ship upgrade researches. Territory has a ton of ship upgrades. Away Team also has a few ship upgrades as well. Galaxy has general hull/shield upgrades a couple times (new one with stealth daily reward tokens).

I'm sure I'm missing a bunch more, but its pretty straightforward to find the researches that directly increase ship hull/shield/damage/piercing/etc.

I'm usually a huge critic, especially when you guys at Scopely are incredibly lazy and recolor a DVor and sell it to us as a new ship...with 2 freaking months of mining events...but I digress.

This Arc has me genuinely excited for the future of the game with the new mechanics of buffing ships and below deck abilities. Anyone complaining about the artwork not fitting in a mobile game is entitled to their opinion, of course. It just feels weird to complain about characters you rarely ever see directly unless you go looking for them in your officer tab or ship crew.

I'm all for more ship customization and being able to tailor our ships for specific activities or more general use. I hope we do get more below deck crew that have unique abilities and not just more general buff weapon % or mitigation %.

I'm just imagining in the future having battles with a bunch of buffing and debuffing ships, cloaked ships, and whatver other new ship mechanics they can think of to spice up the game more than "whale smash puny peasants!"

Keep it up Scopely and go wild, there are plenty of us players who want you to break out of the status quo and try new things.

[dull nymph]

The latest Arc is a total Disgrace sinking to the carton level is abhorrent you need to send us all an abject apology and this disgraceful arc should be withdrawn immediately.

[unborn beacon]

Oh I absolutely agree with Lawrence this game looks awful this month

Well I’m gonna save lots of money this month because I don’t want any of his characters in My Cree

[edgy meadow]

What’s up with the dailies today? The changes don’t make sense.

[vale wasp]

what ran for you?

[livid nest]

I’m less concerned with the fact they picked a cartoon, and more concerned that you have to not only buy the ship, but many of the events are either bonus or dependent on it. And before you say “so was the Feesha”, you could scrap Dvors to get that totally free. And on top of that, the ship is useless unless you also buy a way into the new research, and once again here we are with events based on TC…which has never been anything but bad. I just shake my head that each arc becomes less about fun for the player, and more about how much money Scopely can make.

[sacred garden]

You need to update officers pull, need to add the ferengi so those who didn’t get them can

[harsh valve]

So the way this new ship works is that it's based on your research... If you have no research and your team mate gives you support... Zero bonuses are conferred.

To do research you need the refinery to give you Currency. No refinery til you get ship... So no research til you get ship... So no support til you get ship...

If you're FTP that's ~3.5 months (end of July) away... If you pay for the BP you save 1.5 months at the end of this arc. So basically to get any benefit before Mid June you have to buy the BPs from the store.

Whoever said that this was a great arc for FTP was well wide of the mark.

[rose copper]

☝️

[ripe jetty]

Since the below deck is getting more attention, it should also be reflected in the officer presets (which dont touch the slave deck..)

[wind nebula]

Did art team considered a small thing called 'consistency'?

I dont see any place for such officers from art perspective.
Let me make it simple
Dont mix cartoon style with what we had before...

[crude sandal]

It's a game based on a varied IP, not a simulation, get over yourself 😄

[wind nebula]

Yeah but there is bare minimum level of aesthetical consistency...

[crude sandal]

Why?

[wind nebula]

And its been shreaded with this update

[covert depot]

You seriously can only turn in fresha cores 5 at once? Why the hell do I get 12 for a scrap if I can only turn them in by 5s?

[crude sandal]

How often do you even see the officer portraits of below deck crews?

[wind nebula]

Sweeping under the rug argument wont work.

[crude sandal]

Bottom line, "Lower Decks" is part of the Trek IP, ohwell, so sorry the cartoons hurt you

[wind nebula]

Lol

I dont mind them. I mind mixong incompatible art styles

[crude sandal]

So what would you do instead? Gloss over one of the most popular recent treks?

Or completely mangle the art direction while trying to include it later?

[wind nebula]

Find a way, like redraw it to be consistent

[crude sandal]

Then it wouldn't match the IP

[wind nebula]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Game dosent need to be 100% accurate representation

[crude sandal]

Paramount might have something to say about that

[wind nebula]

If so, where is one of my favourites scenes represented? Where is data as commander

Beeing angry at crew mate due to not cooperating

It dosent have to be carbon copy

[crude sandal]

One scene out of how many, is your reasoning?

As opposed to an entire show?

[wind nebula]

Thats my point, no need for carbon copy

[crude sandal]

One of these things is not like the others

And seriously... with all the faults in the gameplay (you know, the actual important part of a game), the animated triangle is your breaking point?

[wind nebula]

No, its yet another aspect that is beeing damaged in the game

[crude sandal]

damaged 🤣

[wind nebula]

Sorry english isnt my primary lang so /shrug

[crude sandal]

The only thing damaged is peoples sense of fun, I fear

[wind nebula]

Diminished? 🤔 made into worse than it was before <- thats what i mean lol

[crude sandal]

No, the word works... it's just laughable

people taking it too seriously when it's just a bunch of timers

[wind nebula]

I know the game is bunch of timers. Perfectly aware.

Many games are bunch of timers, and relatively simple on backend, frontend does the bulk of 'work' in games, so, it would be nice that FE was consistent with itself

I dont do much of UX, but that stuff is obvious

[crude sandal]

Fingers crossed for 2 more months of this to really bring it home... maybe follow it up with Prodigy for extra salt mining 😂

[wind nebula]

Lol

Anyhow, nice that it dosent bother you but it bothers others, you might want to consider that opinions vary between people. For me personally game got uglified, plain and simple.

[crude sandal]

Yours at least seems to be based on the consistency side of things... an awful lot of them yesterday was "EeRMAHGaWd there's kids stuffi n my TREK" 🤣

[wind nebula]

Lul i didnt see that / look at that.

IDGAF if thats thought of kids stuff or not. I simply dont care. You can cooperate newest IP, if you are willing to make art consostent with rest of game

Purely technical criticism

By same token, if game was in that cartoony art style, i would expect developers to backport the old art to be cartoon-like too

And adding lets say old kirik art style would bring up exacly same criticism from me

[crude sandal]

I think the game devs are more restricted by the IP owner (paramount) than people realise on the art direction. It's not so much of an issue with live action, but something easily replicable like animations...

But also, if they were CGI'd, they then wouldn't be recognisable as the LD characters

It's nice to celebrate all the types of media in Trek

And different styles

Marvel games have it easier - comics have been drawn in different styles forever

Trek fans are just more used to the live-action aspect

[wind nebula]

I think it is achievable.

Im certain it is

[crude sandal]

You'd end up with a parody of a parody 🙂

Or just sheer nightmare fuel, one of those https://twitter.com/saberspark/status/1310744457889959937?lang=cs

[wind nebula]

Well, we have that already

[wind nebula]

Thats actually pretty nice art port

@crude sandal Although 👍 for civilised back and forth disagreement

[edgy meadow]

I had more and higher level fed ships to destroy. Also less gas. All my fed dailies basically.

[vale wasp]

higher level + less gas might be an indicator that you've gone over 30m and require g4 to mine.

[wind meteor]

All the recourse gifts from yesterday gone today in one hour because someone attacked my base 47 times. It was a lvl 34 player.

[sullen parrot]

I'm tired of the ship menu disappearing when I need it (say to cancel a mistapped recall) causing me to accidentally tap the alliance button that was hiding beneath it. By the time it loads and I back out the warp has already initiated and I can't cancel. Move the menu or make it more reliable!!!

[craggy saddle]

Well, you didnt shield. Not Scopely's problem, is it?

[ripe thicket]

I have looked at everything and so far, this Battlepass has started off great. But I will call it now, unless they give insane resources in the events/dailies, this will be the worst battlepass season. There is no event store (no blue prints, no shards, no DVOR PARTS, no additional resources/uncommons). On top of that, we have the middle finger on the new ship, even for the elite battlepass path, you cant get it, not even at the end. On top of that, we also get the middle finger again on the new officers. No path is given for the ftp path, OR the elite battlepass path OR the events/dailies, for a guarenteed unlock except for badgey. The only way to get them is winning the leaderboards (good luck against the spenders). And you can't earn shards until after you have the ship unlocked...in 5-10 WEEKS... starting in MAY!

The new ships "support" ability is...lacking. The damage boost...well, you can get a bigger boost from some officers and some exo's. And yes, while it can stack with everything else, it is, realistically, not going to change the outcome of most battles.

And to add even more insult to injury, there is only 1 para bellum so we get even less resources than last month.

This battlepass is going to be way worse than the ferengi. At least with them I got the officers and I got the additional 1/2k lat a day. Huge boost to the game. This...this one has failed and it just started.

Yes, I acknowledge I could be wrong and the rewards could be insane. But...do you honestly think that is going to happen. If you have not spent the money for the battlepass, Pass on it. Give them a chance to fix it first, I am.

[glad cradle]

The event store doesn't usually happen during an arc...

[ripe thicket]

They have had something the last several arcs.

[rare inlet]

Still having glitches when mining certain areas, leave mining site and click on it to return and it Still has my ship mining! Also a few times when I move my ship a little ways it sits there and flys in circles.

[crystal swallow]

You, pretty well nailed it. I have big players in my alliance threatening to quit the game now.

Atleast we had the dabo tables the last 2 months which got me thinking that scopely was finally starting to get things because uncommons are impossible to save up for and the refinery is still garbage after all this time.

I'm a level 38, I need thousands of uncommons to level up my aug, ent, valkis, antares and kvort. Not to mention my station and research demand them too. I don't want another ship because I don't have the energy and resources to spend on it. A ship skin I would have considered but not another ship to upgrade.

[vale wasp]

you can usually avoid the first problem by allowing the system to fully load before moving your miner off of a node

[sacred garden]

Treasury vault, if you have a billion players and only 10% are buying periodically and only 2% are buying all the time then your really not making that much. I imagine that that amount is probably actually hire then the actual amount on those who spend.

People complained and moaned about the Tribble’s event, but personally I think I much rather have the Tribble’s then this stupid cartoon arc any day of the week . At least the Tribble’s was enjoyable were this entire cartoon arc sucks balls

[sacred garden]

The additional bit of lower deck officers abilities would of been ok if applied to all officers in lower deck and not just these stupid cartoons that no one cares about. No wonder all the servers seem to be going dead with all these stupid additions like the worthless money trap vault of the treasury and this stupid cartoons crap. I really hope you do a better job with the next stuff that is released because these recent ones is no good

[molten sequoia]

alot of people care about the cartoons, so ur statement is wrong.. some people dont like them but alot do

[strong geode]

it's not about liking or disliking the cartoon, it's about if lower deck art belongs in stfc. You I bet more tolerate it then are excited and love to have it added to the game. Others hate and loathe the artwork in this game.

[frail magnet]

It’s real funny watching people lose their minds over the cartoon character officers that they don’t need to assign to their pixelated ships

You can simply ignore them. That is an option.

[molten sequoia]

im going off his wording his statement, he says no one likes these stupid cartoons, which is a false because alot of people like them

[strong geode]

Do you like Lower Deck art in this game?

[molten sequoia]

yes, yes i do

[frigid perch]

Somebody has to I suppose. 🤷‍♂️

[true zealot]

U don't like em? Banish them to the lower decks...convenient huh?

It's like picking up a speedo in an mmo...ya it's a speedo, but those stats .. oh those crazy stats get me every time.

[rose nymph]

Lets add rep for killing players ships. Would make it more of a pvp game

[silk loom]

I'd say fewer like them than do, from reading what's written. Now back to your regularly scheduled Sponge Bob Square Pants..

[sacred garden]

Not all play for pvp , some play just because they like Star Trek

[nova sierra]

Yeah that’s not how the world works. Most people won’t say anything unless they are complaining

You spend a lot of time ranting about something you don’t care for.

[sacred garden]

Not seeing any change that’s supposed to accrue for my ships from the bonus given by treasury building or by upgrading the techs

[vale wasp]

it's easier to see cargo buffs on a warship, my vidar can hold more probes

[lofty jungle]

There's nothing with the cartoons themselves it's when you add them stfc it feels like I'm playing a game targeted for a five year old especially since the haven't even gotten close to all the prior series first just my opinion. feels like sponge Bob meets star trek lol

[unkempt niche]

Am I the only one really dislike , ferengi and toons on this game?
And also , spend new resources and cooldown for new buff, for some minutes ???????????????

I am trying to see the glass half filled... after 2 horror arcs, this one make me reflect if it worth spend more effort on this game.

[wind nebula]

What about art consistency of the game? It was OK before update... And its not argument for or against cartoons, its argument of game beeing in consistent and compayible with itself artstyle

[vale wasp]

The only one to dislike Ferengi? probably one of the very few. They're an incredible addition to ST lore since DS9 shifted what they were initially presented as.

[wind nebula]

With ferengi with couple of buddies we speculated some minor burnout, but we had daboo table, simple way to make players happier, we didnt really complain at that point.

E: syntax

But i hear from many ppl a lot dissatisfaction with new update, more than usual

[vale wasp]

Preserving art consistency at the cost of leaving out a popular IP in a lore-accurate way was almost certainly a calculation they made. There's nothing really wrong with either direction, and detractors on both sides would find something that irked them.

[wind nebula]

But thats offtrade that will nearly guarantee people getting annoyed with it. Artstyle is one of critical points of most games. This one isnt exception. I hope they thought about it..

With lore vs art of game, thing is, lore you have and read, and process and you 'consumed' it. Its used, done.

If you continue playing game inconsistent art will diminish many people time with game, over time, and it wont go away

[slender fulcrum]

The thing that extremely bothers a lot of people including me is that these cartoons don't fit the look of this STFC universe. My stomach turns as a graphic artist when I see that. The lower deck function itself is great. But the combination of the optics is horrible. Personally, I like cartoons a lot and watch all kinds of things and draw them myself.
But this combination of cartoon and real 3D hurts my eyes. It has nothing to do with "I'm too old for cartoons etc..."

[unkempt niche]

So it seems not a opinion of fews, this arc doesn't gets a great approval...

[wind nebula]

TL;DR

Art consistency

[vale wasp]

The stfc universe is now bigger than you initially envisioned, and in this new one, they fit just fine.

[wind nebula]

Well, its not universally agreed on, to put it lightly

[strong geode]

People will quit the game over lower deck art. That's the issue that doesn't seem to sink in.

[slender fulcrum]

They could have just thought about how to integrate the characters differently. But when I click through the officers and after a Worf and an ugly Ferengi a comic book badge jumps out at me... that's total nonsense.
The problem is, I think, more "political nature", because they were forced on the part of Paramount to integrate them so. However, I trust scopely, after their "grandiose" ideas of the last time, that they had thought this out themselves.
