Been here for 4 years, everything keeps coming back 😂😂😂😂

[golden ether]

Actually the smart move is to not spend any tickets this month as the value this arc is crap

[sacred garden]

What happened to the 10 free daily tickets that used to be given for the past 3 years for these ticketed ev?

[livid vapor]

Dude really???

Asked and answered over and over in basically every channel you have posted this.

[livid vapor]

You have been getting them, for each ticket day just like normal.

[sacred garden]

No I have not been getting them like normal

[livid vapor]

They are in your battlepass

Do you not read any reply we have given you saying the exact same thing

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/509688981051408394/973281495500353575/IMG_0122.jpg

[sacred garden]

Used to get 10 free in the rewards chest for the past 3 years now nothing,

[livid vapor]

They’re in the battlepass rewards. For each battlepass ticket event. 1 for each day

[sacred garden]

That doesn’t explain what happened to the 10 free that was given for the past 3 yrs in the rewards chest for people to do these events

[livid vapor]

Just like normal

[livid vapor]

Because they’re in the battlepass, that does explain it.

And it hasn’t been 3 years either

[sacred garden]

No it doesn’t. As a player that’s been playing since launch and used to get 10 free in the daily rewards chest . The game has been for 3 yrs I’ve been playing it since it launched

[livid vapor]

Ticket events haven’t been here for 3 years, so no. And it hasn’t always been in the gift chest.

Only extra tickets had been given in the gift chest.

[nova sierra]

We still on this? 🤔

[sacred garden]

Clearly you don’t know what your talking about.

[livid vapor]

I do know what I’m talking about, I’ve been here long enough to know. You clearly do not. Since you have asked this question over and over in multiple channels

[lyric grotto]

ticket events have been around for like a year lol

not 3

[nova sierra]

Very simple really. Always since launch (not 3 years ago, February 2021 to be exact) you have gotten EXACTLY 1 ticket per 3 ticketed events. Always.

Delivery mechanisms have varied from gift chests to battlepass tracks, but never more than 1 per 3. Nothing has changed. And please stop spamming the same non-issue in multiple channels.

[sacred garden]

As said you know not what your talking about so shut up

[pale grove]

Increase epic armada spawn times please.

[waxen kite]

even if they give us 1000 free cards it wouldnt be enough to justify all the f ups they did in past couple of months 😛

To have suggestions log in #972185328385409024, type !suggest, followed by your suggestion. Then the community can vote and put their voice behind it.

[spare vapor]

I'm sure I'm not the first to leave this feedback, but I really wish in an event called "Anthology" that has pieces of several past Arcs (like TNG, LD, Ferengi, etc...) that the store should also include a lot more of those officers as options for currency. Like the TNG event for the last week, I think we should have been able to trade currency for Picard shards or some other officers that we might not have completely sourced yet.

Maybe not ALL of the 130+ officers, but maybe officers that are part of the era for the anthology series

[bronze zenith]

The syndicate prime pack isn’t very good. No extra mats = no purchase

[tacit obsidian]

More than happy to ask about this!

I believe they're currently on 15 min timers or so (I could be wrong). You feel that's too short?

long I mean**

Not sure but I'm happy to ask about this for you. Do you mind letting me know the server you're on so I can have it checked out?

Happy to let the team know =]

[woeful nymph]

I would rather you had removed the trophy from Hunter Killer (please correct me if there is no trophy associated with it). Despite what your numbers might tell you, it's still a whale steamroller event that breeds mostly toxicity. They will troll people even after they get their solo milestones, guaranteed. Even if it's not the whales, the higher level people will do what they do, crush everyone because they can.

[tacit obsidian]

Really appreciate the kind words xray

[tacit obsidian]

Thanks for the feedback Omi, the idea was that since 2 points were given for one trivia event, we removed a point from a future trivia event

[woeful nymph]

That's fair. Thanks for communicating. 🙂

[tacit obsidian]

Any time friend

[icy lodge]

The IOS crashes of the game are HORRIBLE Fix it !

[timber mirage]

It will be so nice that scopely fix the server. Constantly server lags

[half ginkgo]

Arc 2: a full and, thus far, fun arc. Diverse in events. An Event Store that is just great: filled to overflowing with options.
Thank you Scopely. Well done.

[ripe thicket]

!suggest Change the iso refinery so that the territory iso emulsion to resin refinery gives you 100 of each particles and then the 5 emulsion territory generator tab gives less. This way, every player in the game can advance easier instead of only those who control the TC. And we all know that most of thr severs, the whales (spenders) control ALL the TC. Very few alliances outside their control get anything.

[restive shell]

@tacit obsidian can we please have the officewr XP question changed to include ship XP as well? some of us do NOT have any officers to use xp on right now

[fallen epoch]

Use !suggest in #972185328385409024 to have your suggestion backed by the community.

[sacred garden]

Once again scopley shows their true colors of greed caring not for fans but about the almighty dollar and stupid people feed into that.

[obsidian stratus]

I don’t have the second Klingon event and I don’t know why

@tacit obsidian

[fallen epoch]

It has already been escalated. Thanks for raising

[obsidian stratus]

What does that mean?

[nova sierra]

Scopely team is aware

[obsidian stratus]

Oh

[nova sierra]

Looking into it 🙂

[obsidian stratus]

Thanks

[safe relic]

i can tell you from all games i play with you: you are just too stupid, to do it just right. you´ve killed another ent evening in a game just as always. congratulations to you.

how do you excuse it this time? another package as free gift?

people pay 100 € for you for a package and you still can´t get enough quallified persons for that money to programming your games, right?

[nova sierra]

Ehm, sorry you feel aggravated but it would surely help if you would say what the actual problem was

[safe relic]

Every Event is the problem. It don't works without tricks. Opponents are loading but if I am smart enough to know where the attack Button is, I can click and attack. That's the start

[nova sierra]

For 1 out of 3 systems. Other two work fine.

[safe relic]

Abf we can talk a long way today what doesn't work today

[nova sierra]

Not saying it’s not annoying but no need to be drama queen either

[nova sierra]

Yeah but… “it doesn’t work” won’t help fix anything

[safe relic]

I am just tired of it. I stoppen playing any other game that you host. I just have this left.

[nova sierra]

Understood bud 🖖 I get frustrated with recurring bugs too

[safe relic]

Nie I did the officer-xp and had to close the Gameboy and hopefully it reloads. Otherwise, Event is done

Game without boy. Stupid t9

[nova sierra]

Apart from separatists in Constantina — try the other systems like pareleon — more events bugged for you?

[safe relic]

All Events I try today. So I Break it up for this day. I am tired.

[upbeat jungle]

So, is using an emulator a bannable offense now? I have 2 accounts and cannot use both on the pc emulator

[fathom trellis]

Hi Eco - Can you perhaps have the team look in to the value on the 3 Day ATA missions? Particularly when for example:

3 days Geothermal Conditioning. If I critical it I get between 16 - 20 Uncommon G3 Ore. In the case of my current run 16. Now don't get anyone twisted as a player at OPS36 with a very hungry Augur. I need the Uncommon ore but I gotta tie 3 decent Defence Stat officers up for 3 days for a 57% chance of getting 16? I'm all but guaranteed that much from my refinery in a day as a minimum. This for tying up 3 officers for 3 days needs to have a critical reward of 10x that amount of 16 - 20 (thats the average range btw I can achieve on the G3 uncommon critical reward 3 day ATAs) and that's a minimum. 160 - 200 G3 uncommons for 3 days is still pretty tight. It's just about comparable to 3 days of payout from the refinery. If you want me to feel like these ATAs in particular are worth the effort beyond "I must send some ATAs out because all I have is 3 day and 2 day ones yet again!" it needs to be far better if this mission had a 57% chance of critical hitting for 1600 uncommon G3 Ore I would be estatic about this "rare" quality mission.

Same goes with other 3 day ATA rewards... Double Agent Interrogation for example: Critical Chance is Moreau Shards starting at 1. To 100% the mission I need to tie up 3 decent Health officers on the mission. For a decent chance of hitting the critical I need to invest in Deanna Troi's Epic Officer card. What's the standard reward? 132 x Premium Recruit Tokens (Yes there's 6000 ATA medals but no one cares about those, these are plentiful) It's not even a full box on the Premium Recruit which requires 150 Premium Recruit Tokens. Where is my incentive? 1 shard of Moreau? No.

I have had anwhere between 3 and 6 3 day ATAs available to me at once often with duplicates of the same mission but considering the rewards suck I don't see the value in them at all. It's a poor ROI in a game all about ROI and maximising it.

[fathom trellis]

With additional space to write - the officer shard reward ATAs. You should really consider the critical on these Rare officers to be a full pull's worth or at least 10 shards on 1x reward multiplier - again that multiplier comes in 10x as much reward needed to make the ATA even feel remotely worthwhile to the players. Not to mention that Premium Recruit Reward which is by the way - the main reason to do that since the box will potentially award far more Moreau shards than the actual ATA needs to be calculated with a base of at least a 3 box pull on the Premium Rewards but ideally if I am honest 10x pull 1500 Premium Rewards. If I am tying up 3 Health Stat officers for 1500 Premium Recruit Tokens, 6000 or whatever ATA medals (reduce this if that's too much reward) and a critical chance of at least 10 Moreau shards - I have an incentive there to complete that mission and don't just die a little on the inside when I see it.

If I was playing the critical chance for a full pull's worth of Moreau (38 shards I think) then even better! I'd actually look forward to running that mission. It would help newer players source Moreau a lot better and for more established players would help us max her so we can work on getting TP patterns for other officers.

Overall in the TLDR version: The 3 day missions simply put at present aren't anywhere near rewarding enough for the investment to complete.

To improve them to a "Meh, could be nice" level of interest you're looking at 10x multipliers on a lot of the outputs and rewards for actual interest you could be looking at anything up to 100x current output on rewards.

[tacit obsidian]

Thanks so much for all of this! Let me read everything and jot down some notes in my sheet based on your feedback

[left bolt]

How important is the Ship Discovery and it Refinery.
With this New current running events I have the opportunity to get the Ship and the Skin Refit. And also 12k + in parts to tier up to about Tier 5.
Oh my play style is mining and grinding, if this helps.
So is the ship and refinery worth the resources going forward?

[craggy saddle]

Disco itself is very important.
Skin, probably not

[vale wasp]

There are some important goalposts to hit as you level, one is having a max tier disco at 40. It's at that level that the refinery provides a great source of speedups and without which you'll suffer at completing any building/research to progress

[left bolt]

I’m level 34 so , I’m thinking about finishing D3 for the 4 star recycling and also the Enterprise/Augur .
But these events others the opportunity to get the 100Bp. Job done ., hmm

[vale wasp]

Faction bps are overpriced in the event store, I'd skip them

[left bolt]

True for the Ent , but I was thinking about the Disco.

[craggy saddle]

Get it from cc event

[austere coyote]

@tacit obsidian where did the Cerritos Event go? already abandoning new features after a few weeks?

[ornate copper]

I was wondering the same thing

[tacit obsidian]

We're currently looking into this!

[fathom gulch]

how about the fact that customer support wont help me get my missing trophy from the recruit TNG SMS event, eventhough I actually completed it....

[fallen epoch]

There is also Hunter killer on (If that was an active takeover)

[waxen kite]

that was a SMS that you can finish in 5 mins of pvp , killing hounders of discos in disco event with a MasterCard ship loses the point of Discovery event itself .

[craggy saddle]

👀

[dim hemlock]

Pvp is pointless unless your a whale. Think maybe you can give us more then 1 system? Otherwise its zero fun for us poor people

[flat wind]

On a server thats over a year old, the jelly auction only rewarding 1st bp's is ridic and needs to be adjusted. We have multiple 50's already, why not a easier Jelly Pursuit?

[sacred garden]

This is a cheat. This clearly says lvl30+ which means lvl30 and above , yet scopley cheats by saying lvl34. It clearly stats lvl30

[vale wasp]

Pretty sure that supplies duranium, which is level 30 req

[sacred garden]

Nope iit clearly states all players lvl 30+ can get the parts to upgrade sarcophagus, the only part you need the sarcophagus forge for is the black fleet memorial parts of uncommon, rare and epic. All the rest is just blacknite which is easy to get without the forge

[tacit obsidian]

I'm asking about this KaDrago to get more info, and to have it looked at. Thanks for letting me know!

[sacred garden]

You write a contract that states one thing , and don’t honor what’s stated in the contract then it’s grounds for a law suit. It’s clearly stated write there in the screen shoot “all players lvl 30+ “ it does not say all players lvl 34+ . To not honor what’s written in black and white in the game is wrong!!!!!

[flat wind]

@tacit obsidian Can we look into improving the depth of the Jelly Pursuit for a server thats over a year old and has Ops 50 players? On server 56, the only place is 1st to get Jelly bp's.

[waxen kite]

so Cardassians will be the new faction, interesting

[formal sorrel]

So I was wondering if the levels a player can attack another player be tighten up a bit. For example I have been hearing that a level 60 player can attack a level 31 player. With all the additional ships (G5 extremely overpowering) and research how is that even fair to lower level players. Granted there are not that many level 60 players however those with overpowering G5 ships shouldn't be able to take out those who are only able to use G3 ships due to the overwhelming power difference between the two.

[paper kindle]

Keep an eye out for the new survey actually goes in depth

[nova sierra]

Can't put up a shield, have to reload game multiple times in order to fix problem (or clearing cache).

Correction, all UI in the bottom right corner (interior, exterior, home station, exocomp, and shields) are not functioning.

[spark finch]

60 can hit down to 39; 31 can hit/be hit by down to 23 or up to 48.
unless in territory, then all ships are open but stations still follow the restriction. edit: also not countering your point as i would also like to see it tightened, just giving the stats as i know them.

[formal sorrel]

Well in pvp format with the Discovery I did see 55's hitting low 30s today and granted it's in territory however there shouldn't be a difference in territory or regular space for who can hit who. Example just built Corvus is far superior to a level 35 Saladin on a level 31 account. Granted I'm a level 36 player currently.

[noble berry]

When will the next "spend g3 uncommon” event be?

[glad hollow]

I think you need to update and get better servers scopely, I can't even play my game without it kicking me out every 5seconds it's ridiculous!! Also it makes TC next to impossible. Work smarter not harder!

[crude sandal]

Not this weekend, next weekend, 20thish

[crude sandal]

There has to be no limits on ship combat in TC, otherwise any group of ops 20s could come in and sweep territory from the big guys 😂

So long as they outnumbered them

[rich elm]

oh noes .... .the whales not being able to hold TC ... sad day

[lyric grotto]

it wouldn't just be whales, its everyone

get an alliance of level 1 players with enough realtas and they can take a territory from a bunch of people in the 20s-30s

doesn't make much sense does it

[crude sandal]

well, need w20 to enter, and I think it might be ops locked as well, but yeah 🙂

[lyric grotto]

yeah true, i am far from a whale but can't hit an ops 20

[crude sandal]

Would be hilarious to start a bunch of alts, level them up to 20 with a Kehra and drop them on a TC with no hope of reprisals 😂

only takes a couple weeks to hit 20 if you're rushing it

[sacred garden]

It’s quit clear support doesn’t know what they talking about. The only reason for sarcophagus forge is to get blackfleet materials. Which you get when you buy blacknite in territory store while sarcophagus forge is active. You don’t need sarcophagus forge tell you need to get the blackfleet memorial . I know I never used the sarcophagus forge to upgrade any other part of my sarcophagus, now trying to upgrade it to tier 2 yet can’t get the uncommon blackfleet memorial .scopley says not tell lvl 34lol , yet the sarcophagus forge says lvl30+ to get the part needed to upgrade. It’s bs not being able to upgrade the dang ship like I’m supposed to since I can’t even get the part I need to do the first upgrade. Stupid worthless makes me hate scopley more.

[versed linden]

@tacit obsidian How is this fixing a problem? Refinery is broken so the choices are it’s fine, pay us, pay us even more? Telling of the company philosophy.

[fallen epoch]

The sarco forage is required if you want to get the sarco to any tier as you need the Durianium forge to upgrade any component and you need the Fortified Baakonite forage to get the item to repair the sarco as normal resources don’t work. The black fleet memorial forage is ops gated at 34, 37 and somewhere around 40 for the 3 uc rare and epic parts needed to get it past certain tiers.

[thorny wing]

0.1k..really?

[surreal condor]

LOL - yep. I swear they do this every BP just to mess with my OCD.

[fallen epoch]

Hurts my soul every time

100 points is the worse I’ve seen though 🙈

[vale falcon]

so ive been ops 41 for a few months and starting to feel the pinch in regards the volume of uc's from refinary. it is compounded by my understanding that the bp is static for uc's as you progress through the 40's

it feels underwhelming

[thorn shuttle]

@tacit obsidian @patent nova I want you and the rest of SCOPELY to know that because you won't change or modify your territory system, so that non-members of owned territory are kicked out of the territory once ownership has changed hands, an alliance on server 70 is being marked KOS.

[balmy kernel]

Can we get some feedback on the Alliance base system from development? On the roadmap the Devs asked for feedback very openly. So I would like to see something like: What are the ideas considered for this feature? How is the current status of development? And so on. Players can give better feedback if we are not left in the complete dark.

[spark nova]

Thanks scopley.

[real swan]

Thanks for giving us much less event store credits and more stuff to buy 👍

[tacit obsidian]

I'm more than happy to bring up this feedback! How would you see this being adjusted for the future?

[tacit obsidian]

I appreciate the feedback and I'm more than happy to have this looked into Stewy

[tacit obsidian]

More than happy to ask about this for you

[thorn shuttle]

After giving said players a 15-20 minute time period to move themselves, either moving those members to a starter system close to the territory, and give them a free relocation token so that they can move to where they want; or by giving the admiral/commodores the ability to move those players out of said territory to a starter system, with a list of starter systems for the admiral or commodores to choose from.

[tacit obsidian]

Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to let me know your thoughts, and it seems like there are some community members that agree with you as well!

[slate orbit]

you could even go as far as 24 hours.. on the wait time.. but the fact that there is no way to move a base out of a captured territory has two adverse effects.. 1. the capturing alliance looses a place for it to place a alliance member. 2. if that player is no longer playing the game it is a perpetual loss of placement.

[edgy harness]

Yeah, most of that survey was pretty tone deaf. And by most I mean all.

[edgy harness]

Twice a battlepass, it’s designed to make people want to buy a pack to not miss a day of endorphins…. I mean rewards.

[molten inlet]

?

[earnest granite]

What's the difference to losing to a 2M ViDar?
You lose your OPC in either case

[crude sandal]

But I like being able to stay in the territory after its been taken... Stick up a shield before the timer ends and wait for a good time to raid the interlopers 😈

Equally, emptying the offline bases when you take territory is part of the fun, no?

[astral yacht]

How about making it so there’s 2 full jelly unlocks during the jelly auction instead of some servers having 1 and others having 2 for example on s66 we’re about to get a lot of players reaching ops 38 and 39 and it’s be awesome to speed the process of people being able to get them up

[olive nacelle]

I’m sure this has been said before many many times.
Please do something/more/anything about the 4 star economy from ops 40 to 49!
The costs are ridiculous (even with maxed efficiency research) the timeframe for everything is also ridiculous!

The amount of players (both free and paying) that hit ops 40/41/42 and then just pack it in is getting silly. Is player retention not something to be valued any more?
Just in the last month my alliance has lost 4 paying players, all saying the same thing….”ops 40+ just isn’t worth the massive effort/poor rewards grind”

Apparently the 5star economy is far better…..but I haven’t got that far yet……and I probably never will without some serious changes soon.

Thanks.

[solid coyote]

I totally agree... Ops40's is basically limbo! Not enough * 3 to do anything you missed (research etc) before going Ops40. And ridiculous costs for anything * 4, so progress slows to an utter crawl (unless you're a big-whale-spender, of course).

[strange geode]

Really wish the gift box for trading in broken desealing rods for fixed ones/vault key would be released. This month's vault has a good bit of everything and I've got plenty of broken desealing rods just sat there gathering dust

[fallen epoch]

Once you get all 700 points needed to open the vault the conversion will be released

[strange geode]

I hope so this time, last vault event even when I got all the points the box didn't appear so I logged a ticket and the feedback was pretty inconclusive

[fallen epoch]

The conversion was removed prematurely for some reason. It was there for the first 5 days or so then wasn’t available. Although many wouldn’t have been affected by this as they didn’t have 4000 broken keys to make a proper one

[rich scroll]

@tacit obsidian @patent nova i want to bring a problem with the territory takeovers on server 70 to you.

@tacit obsidian @patent nova we, my alliance, have taken over a territory on server70 and we have a member of the server who quit his alliance and refuses to move out of the territory. he uses this territory for a base of hitting other alliances. we now have a KOS on us because of this one member. we have trying hitting his base over and over and intercepting his ships on the way in but to no avail. he as been asked to move several times and simply refuses. we need this fixed somehow because it is unfair for us to have to give up a territory that we fought for because he uses a loophole in the game to take over a territory without having to fight for it

[next rampart]

@tacit obsidian @Cerebos At the very least have a time limit on a player's base occupying a territory who is no longer affiliated with the alliance in control. Our alliance on server 70 has a Kos on us because this individual will not remove his base after repeated attempts at negotiation have failed

[fallen parcel]

Why is YOUR alliance KOS? It’s not YOUR fault, and you can’t do anything about it.

That’s just poor diplomacy

[next rampart]

We have tried explaining that to the Alliance that has put the Kos on us. Their response was since we didn't force him to move, its our fault this individual is free to run rampant in the territories.

[fallen parcel]

That’s ridiculous

[next rampart]

I know, but here we are.

[fallen parcel]

Ugh

[fallen epoch]

Declare war on their alliance. They will soon learn not to mess with you 😈

[stoic horizon]

That's fine and all, except said alliance is way bigger than us and has more higher level players. We had to deal with them killing our miners every time we turned around yesterday.

[next rampart]

We are David to their goliath so to speak.

[crude sandal]

He's got to sleep some time... Empty him then?

Or already empty?

[valid sedge]

They basically kos another alliance until they bent to their rule and now there is 146 of them and almost all have ships much larger than anything we can throw at them.

[crude sandal]

That's hilarious

[valid sedge]

It's always empty. He uses tokens because he buys them. He has some trick that when you attack his station his ships don't take damage.

[crude sandal]

I think that's called the repair button

Though if it's happening 24/7, then it might be a bot and he could be banned for it

[valid sedge]

We hit him for 4 hours last night with 3 other alliances constantly and his ships died only once.

[crude sandal]

Can you share some screenshots of the fights, and his crew setups / number of rounds?

He's either an insomniac or botting if he's doing that through the whole 24 hours

[valid sedge]

We will ask around for them

[crude sandal]

You'll need to block out his name on this server

But, assuming he's just repairing constantly, that's absolutely something I'd do if I intended to take back a territory the next time it came up and wasn't overloaded with liquid rss vs tokens.
Stay put, be an irritant, keep ships out overnight (or crewed for nasty takedowns), and be right there for the follow up takeover

Kras on one thing, tos spock on another, Harrison elsewhere... Then whatever stonewalling ships I can for the remaining docks. Most things won't last past the first shot, if they even get a shot off.

Kras to block rom, PMHarrison to blow past shields, tos crew to remove crit chances etc

Most things below g4 won't last past round one

[gray sage]

Hiya, be great if Thier was a icon for mission to accept on planets in solar system. Thanks

[crude sandal]

And saladin is basically the only thing that'll put damage on the first shot (if it lives)

[rich scroll]

he has no intentions of taking the territory back. he is using it as a base of operations to go through the other territories and kill thier miners, etc

[crude sandal]

Also perfectly fine

What ops is he?

[rich scroll]

32

[crude sandal]

😂

[fallen epoch]

😂😂 cheeky

[crude sandal]

Basically he just doesn't care... And events give enough tokens that he doesn't need to

Love it

[fallen epoch]

Probably a mini 😂😂

[crude sandal]

Be interested to see his ship crews in defence, though

[fallen epoch]

Yeah

[crude sandal]

Any chance you can scan him?

So, he's using you guys as a cuckoo's nest effectively, and other alliances have marked you kos because of it?

[rich scroll]

well he is causing problems for us and others yes i can scan it but honestly he should be allowed to be there

shoudnt

[crude sandal]

Why?

[rich scroll]

he is not a member of our allaince

[crude sandal]

That's why he can't shield, to encourage him to move on... Guys got a big brass pair on him 😂

[rich scroll]

we are hitting hit for hours and this will go on and on but he is a whale i think and is always repairing. this have caused the whole server besides our allies to delclare us KOS till we get rid of him

actually he is lvl 37

[crude sandal]

32 is not a whale

Ah, maybe closer if it's a baby server

[rich scroll]

our highest is a 33

[crude sandal]

Tell them they're welcome to come in and hit his base if they can do better?

There are tools that will repair automatically if set as such... But not sure how you'd go about proving it to CS

[rich scroll]

we have and they could do it, they have lvl 49 ships and could easily take him out

[crude sandal]

But setting a rota up around the clock if you have some night owls and logging times and reactions would probably be best

Or just ditch that system

[rich scroll]

okay so a system should be delcared unusable because of 1 person?

and anyone who take it should be KOS?

[crude sandal]

That's server level diplomacy 🤷

Someone else might persuade him to move on

[tacit obsidian]

Let me follow up about this for you. Sorry you're having an issue

[rich scroll]

@tacit obsidian thank you

[rich scroll]

@tacit obsidian Remember it not just me that having problems, its 52 in my alliance plus 70 in TCA1 plus 70 in TCA2 plus 70 in SOLR pus 70 in USMC plus 60 in Corp, etc because they all have kos'd us. thats at least 340 people

[tacit obsidian]

Totally understand

[brave verge]

If your alliance is kos because of him, why not kick him out of the alliance…… relationship ended……..

[fallen epoch]

If you read long enough you would see he was never part of there alliance just in there territory 🙈🙈 server politics at its finest 🙈🙈🙈🙈

[rich scroll]

@tacit obsidian found out a couple of minutes ago that this guy went out last night and raided all of our enemy's territories and of course we are to blame so we have 5 alliances with more members and more power all putting kos on us. this is being used and abused by all. something needs to be done. ASAP

[tacit obsidian]

I'm going to have this looked into but it unfortunately may take a bit of time. I'm again really sorry you're having this issue.

[fallen parcel]

Wouldn’t be a problem if non-members could get kicked from territory. Scopely should have foreseen that this would happen, and addressed it when territories were rolled out.

[stoic horizon]

he's not actually in our alliance, he just parked in our territory

[steady patrol]

there was a lot of us on pc that was unable to use those when it was said earlyer it be fix for us to do so

[sturdy girder]

@tacit obsidian can you please lower the require amount of broken sealing rod required to refine into a useable one? The number is extremely unbalanced

All this does is make it easier for the whales to pull ahead and hurt us. We need to stop being the free extra content for the big players. Over all I'm just asking for a fair number to refine and for the lvl you can hit up and down to be refined a bit @tacit obsidian

[rich scroll]

@tacit obsidian @patent nova well thanks scopely due to the amount of attacks that my alliance has sustained due to this person being in our territory and 5 alliances declaring war on us we had to give up the territory that we fought and spent rs trying to takeover. this is a problem that needs to be corrected ASAP. its hard enough trying to keep up with the whales with out them using a loophole in the system to stop our advancement in the game. You need to add a means to boot them out. either a timer that freezes there account until they move. a button that allows the admiral to boot out non alliance members or physically remove them and place them sonewhere else by scopely. this has now cost my time and effort in the game as well as every other member of my alliance. Thanks!

[fallen parcel]

Frankly, if the Treasury shows up once/month, we should be able to obtain it once/month. WITHOUT PAYING.

[hallow raft]

To me this all sounds like a server politics problem, not a territory mechanic problem.

If you don't own the territory, you can't shield, but it's a perfectly valid tactic to stay in a territory in order to have a good position to contest it when it comes around. Providing you can withstand the onslaught.

The problem you have, is that you are being blamed for his attacks on other alliances, of which you have no control. He will still attack other alliances whether you own the territory or not.

And if he did move from territory, he would still be attacking people from wherever he's based.

[edgy harness]

Considering we just had a questionnaire built around the idea we like obtaining stuff from the store for real world currency, and was only concerned with what would make us do it more, you can guess the answer/reply to this suggestion.

Also, the little carlbot can suck eggs if it isn’t going to say what the blacklisted word was.

[rich scroll]

the thing is this can get out of control and render a territory useless. this guy has no intention of going after this territory and is an alliance of one. he is listed bolo on our server and an alliance felt sorry for him and gave him another chance. then those alliances threatened them for having him they kicked him out but he refused to leave. then they were treated the same way and gave up the system to get the KOS off them

there needs to be a way to remove these people who are abusing the system in a way that it was not ment to be used

[hallow raft]

Well the fact is that he could only be there if he was in an alliance that owned the territory at some point. He has every right to stay there, he isn't abusing anything that's not intended. At least nothing you've given proof of.

And the situation that you are in sounds like one that you caused, by having him kicked from his alliance, and forcing them out by blackmail.

[rich scroll]

he is he is using anither alliances territory as a base of operations to attack the other alliances in their territories

[edgy harness]

Griefers gonna grief, all you can do is make it as un fun for them as possible and they lose steam and leave or quit. Don’t engage them verbally anywhere, don’t acknowledge their existence beyond smashing their ships or base daily, ignore all pms, discord, or gc threats, banter, or taunting from them.

[rich scroll]

he is a whale and build he stuff uo faster than we can break it

[hallow raft]

And how would it make any difference if he didn't live in your territory? He'd still be sending his ships to attack you and other alliances.

At least if he's in your territory you know where he lives.

[hallow raft]

That's what whales do, and Scopley certainly isn't going to stop them from doing that.

[edgy harness]

Whales get bored too, he’s got events he likely tries to do, find the ships and kill them. Crewed right and using the power triangle to your their advantage, people can kill ships twice their ships power (or more), and depending on how big a whale, those 4* and 5* ships with even a dent cost more to repair than he’s going to like over the long term.

[hallow raft]

At 37 he ain't got 4* ships

[edgy harness]

Lol, a 37?

Then yeah, smash his crap all day long. A well crewed b’rel with decent tier can wreck all three epic 3* ship types.

Newer servers now compared to ones that started the game, there’s pretty much no point or reason to be a spender before ops40. All the added researches for cost reductions alone make it a poor choice.
We have people playing behind at ops 38 who can build and max ships for half of what it cost the people on the front end of the curve.

[hallow raft]

I agree

[rich scroll]

our highest is a 32

we cant compete

believe me we have tryed

[hallow raft]

Then you need someone who can, or you need to negotiate, or you need to live with it.

There's hundreds of players who like to play this as a war game, not a mining simulation.

And you'll see many more who'll act the same way he is if you've done something to set them off.

The only other option you have is to get him banned for breaking terms of service, if you can catch him doing that.

[edgy harness]

Seriously, what epic ship are they running that you can’t kill?

[edgy harness]

Eat me carlbot. Let me try again. @hallow raft We can likely suggest crews for shipyard 28 ships that can defeat or heavily damage whatever epic they run at you all.

[thorn shuttle]

The thing is he's 1--he's a whale, 2--he's been vaulted for a while now, and 3--he doesn't care if you hit him, cause he knows that no one can move him.

[thorn shuttle]

Thing is they are the most powerful alliance on server 70, the alliance is full of whales, and they have the top 8 players in terms of power on server 70.

[slate orbit]

@crude sandal the bug hes using is he takiing all the capts off his shipz so they dont fight. He keeps his base empty. He does not care, does not want the territory. He just wants to be close to the territories of the people he wants to annoy.. thise annoyed people are blaming the alliance that took the territory for his use of it. Like its discords fault for every users language. Its server politics at its worst, 1 group of bullies using a technical issue to ruin the gaming experience of others, advise. Stay off s70 its a very politcally screwed server. Its so bad its made me tell people not to play the game. Cause servers like s70 are stressfull and unfun. Servers like 70 prove people are mean, hateful, vengeful. And easily corrupted.

[edgy harness]

Every server has issues like this. Take the above advice. Don’t engage the trolls, destroy their ships when and where you can, and they will get bored, frustrated, or rage quit. Worst case scenario all around? They rage spend for minimal advantages and you’ll gain more on parity than they can pull ahead.
A maxed or near maxed saladin, for example, can wreck low to mid tier epic ships, and seriously damage higher tier ones, I know. And like I said, a good b’rel can dominate epic ships IF you put time and energy into maxing faction recruits obtainable from faction recruit credits.

[hallow raft]

Judging by the 💩 emoji's I'm getting, I think they're past saving lol.

I dunno, it's almost like they expected no consequences for annoying a whale. And expect scopley to sort it out.

[slate orbit]

@hallow raft your getting those cause you didnt understand the situation and made useless unrelated comments.. sorry... hes not attacking the peiople who hold the territory hes attacking the largest alliances on the server and they are marking the alliance holding the territory kos for it.

[hallow raft]

So swap territory with them and let them sit on his doorstep and batter him.

Alternatively declare war as well on the big alliances. Big alliances love their miners, a lot.

[slate orbit]

@hallow raft they dont want the territory infact refused the offer, and they literal are 5 allainnces banded together declaring war means the allance cannot play the game.

[thorn shuttle]

Did that before this drama started. Their leader doesn't care...blames the holding alliance for what this player does, cause they couldn't get him to move when no one owned the territory.

[hallow raft]

Sounds like the coalition doesn't like your alliance much or don't want you to have territory, at least not that one.

[slate orbit]

@hallow raft no they just want someone else to play gaurd dog so they can do events an play the game.

But yea its server polotics at its best.

Ps not my alliance, outside looking in

[hallow raft]

Well I guess my point is, they still put themselves in the situation.

I agree admirals should be allowed to evict stations that are inactive from territory, if only to stop cluttering, but eviction of any station is open to abuse, and is bad for the tactics of regaining lost territory.

[vale wasp]

The whale coalition is just harassing you and trying to pin the blame on the rogue. The real problem is them

[slate orbit]

@hallow raft agree to diagree the territory sat empty for 3 weeks before this alliance with this person in it. But its now there fault. Its just mean hatefull individuals.

[hallow raft]

It's little wonder why the rogue is targeting them. Huh

[slate orbit]

@hallow raft oh hes been hitting them for months.. lol...

[west canyon]

some feedback on the treasury content this month. Last month was offered 14 million tritanium this month, only 420 thousand. huh? it cost 11million trit just to tier a vahkles from t3 to t4. 420k is not gonna cut it, not for the $100 asking price

[sturdy girder]

They still have not addressed the Treasury which was a bad idea to begin with. It has only widened the gap between players while still not addressing the issues with the attack range. I am considering abandoning this game. And it makes me sad as this is a name from my childhood that scopely has mismanaged so much that I have watched friends I've had for almost 3 years just up and leave

I am truly disappointed is scopely

[lime socket]

This one is parsteel heavy instead of tritanium heavy

[undone peak]

On server 53 there is group called NOVA lead by level 49 player who is upset about our ROE that he and them are making it impossible for us to complete our events he just rolls in wipes out everyone continuously , it takes the fun right out of the game . Is there any recourse for us as players ? I'm a level 39 with no hope of defense against a 49 ...

[vale wasp]

Adjust the roe process to include them in the decision-making, or pacify them through war

[undone peak]

Well he is an Admiral so he already has a voice , but the vote was not what he wanted so he is causing havoc until he gets what he wants 👶

[warm plover]

New research request :
Reroute power to shields
Increase shield health regeneration while ship is not moving.
Reason: Shield regen is a bit slow, and we would like to keep killing hostiles without waiting too long.

[hallow raft]

Have you done this research?

[hallow shadow]

fix the zoom reset 👿, pls

[worldly moon]

This one is simple, there needs to be a PvP level cap. Something like 5 levels above or below your current level. Because, right now, station guns serve no purpose. Having someone at level 50, come in, crack your station for lower levels to raid is not right. If those lower levels need rss, then they should be the one that do it. If higher levels need rss, they should have to raid base at there level. I get the whole shield or share, I have no problem with that. I feel that if someone wants to crack my base, I should have a chance to defend myself. At the current state, station guns are just decorative rss sinks.

[upper parrot]

As a lower level (34) I want to be able to harass lvl 46+. Our enemies do not have territories, so I would be unable to hit their bases and their miners if the restriction was only +-5 levels. As for the bases, it is always so nice when they leave a big ship G4+ there without shielding or proper defensive setup for me to burn it down! And to be able to do that I have to accept that if I can hit them, they must be able to hit me back.
I get the idea, having my base slapped by Newton hurts, but I can either prevent it by shielding, by sending the ships out/removing captains or actually setting up a proper defensive setup so that attacker's bill is sufficiently high to discourage him. If a Northcut rolls around, well.. it is a shield time for everyone below 50 anyway.

[nova sierra]

What happened to the daily shard from the web store? Anyone else not seeing it ?

[vale wasp]

Limited offer, it's over

[nova sierra]

Ok thanks for the info !

[solemn crow]

Away team event on calendar was May 7-8. Scopely throws one in and give 24 hours to complete battle pass on May 13. Not fair because most players will not get daily battle pass points because Scopely includes event they did not announce. Very wrong. Not paying $99;formAway Team speed ups.

[mint viper]

And we all learned, always have something in stock. Never spend all.

[warm plover]

Yep, maxed! Still slow

[plucky cedar]

question. Does Vi'dar blueprint add to event pool when you hit 25? or does it need the mission to start.

[vale wasp]

Event store? yes

[plucky cedar]

Thanks. I'm going to save my tokens, on my way to 25.

[gleaming nebula]

Just finished this research. My kelvin repair was 80M trit before this

W t f scopely?

[vale wasp]

What happens if you repair it and destroy it again?

[gleaming nebula]

What do you think? This morning it costed 80M trit, now i do a research for better cost efficiency and it cost more, so u can guess it will still cost 91M

And no, I didn’t do any upgrade on the ship

[vale wasp]

Probably, I'm still interested in seeing the test.

[nova sierra]

What are your dock levels?

[gleaming nebula]

Same doc every time

Both lv43, that are the two i use for battleships

[nova sierra]

Only other thing I can think of is exo (there isn’t one) or territory services (not sure if one exists)

[vale wasp]

Could be Barasa

[cerulean quest]

https://tenor.com/view/lets-not-spoil-the-special-moment-gul-dukat-star-trek-deep-space-we-cant-ruin-this-special-moment-gif-23454570

We need the Cardassians as a faction in this game

[paper kindle]

There are five lights

[past snow]

Are we ever going to see a fix for the bookmarks?

[sacred garden]

I challenge scopley to play the game no cheat codes no cash as an honest free to play player . I bet you can’t make it past lvl20 with out cheating or buying.

[strange geode]

@fallen epoch Just to confirm but it looks like the conversion (for broken desealing rods) is still not available, even though I've now got all 700 points required to trigger the vault unlock sequence - and I have 5400 broken desealing rods so that should be plenty to trigger the conversion option 🤷‍♂️

So at this point it's anyone's guess

[thorn cape]

Missions on the battlepass suckss literally. You jump from 10 to 40. Whoopsie… why not make those mission a little bit more fun to do! The effort meets the outcome! Every other event where we need to spend our hard earned uncommon and rares and epics you put a 2 level up bracket into competition. Do the same for battlepass missions dammed. Why do I have to bother to do a OPS lvl 10 missions…? 🤔 but that standa in the way somehow. You see the irony here Scopely? 😅 Fixe it 👍

[hollow pike]

How do you have that many broken rods?

[strange geode]

I had saved up the daily tokens (for 7 day gift boxes) for a very long time, got the benefit of the photon tokens and then was simply lucky that broken desealing rods were added as a reward to the 30 day gift boxes

I think I had got to somewhere about 350-370 daily tokens when I had started to cash them in so I got a lot of photon tokens

[hollow pike]

Nice 👍

[glad cradle]

I have a friend who is ops 30 right now. They have not spent one dime since they started; they plan on being 100% free to play!

[gleaming nebula]

Seriously scopely? It’s getting better and better

[fallen epoch]

For some reason the conversion isn’t showing up this run 🤷‍♂️

Many have said they haven’t got it

[thorny wing]

I would consider buying the lockbox if there were decent amounts of 4* unc ship,parts

[paper kindle]

Well the spend ultra recruit token event is broken

[fallen epoch]

It’s lagging along with the other events

[paper kindle]

I hope its only lag

[fallen epoch]

I wouldn’t spend anymore till it stops lagging

[paper kindle]

Holding off again ty

[alpine mesa]

So, why put an event if it doesn’t work, the ultra recruit is not giving any points

[fallen epoch]

It’s lagging along with the other events.

[woeful nymph]

3 min delay on Server 8

[edgy harness]

For the profits they post you’d think they could invest in more server support and bandwidth.

[dim hemlock]

Why not allow us a daily alliance donation where we can donate 1 item to a alliance member. The recipient would have a 14 day cooldown before he could get another donation? Anything to help us get rid of theses useless bps and help our struggling lower level players grow?

[sacred garden]

Couldn’t find a spot for it to ask , so I’ll ask here. Is the webstore not working right? Last 3 days I try to collect the login reward and nothing. I log out and it says webstore under maintenance. Is there an issue on it?

[mild kestrel]

Can anyone shed any light on what's up with the broken swarm clusters that you can target, but not attack?

[sacred garden]

It’s one of scopley’s many glitches in the game

[paper kindle]

Its a feature

[ripe plank]

Why is 11 of 11 missing? You have the Borg T'Pring, Borg Stonn, but no Borg Barot????? what gives?

[hollow pike]

If you mean the free epic officer shard, that offer is over now.

[steady patrol]

i love to use what i had but was un able to

[nocturne steeple]

The treasure vault as it stands would become very useful if the follwing items were added to it. Frequency Modulators based off highest tier franklin/franklin A, devore/fresha parts, discovery parts, basicly all special ship parts iif you have the ship that can use them, 50% unlock of an officer of your choice. and finnaly increase the amount of uncommon/rare/epic materials, my Saladin needs 2000 uncommopn g3 crystal, and the vault only gives 520, either that or let us choose what type of material we get and give us the total of all 3.

[formal stag]

alright..this insanity has gotta stop!where do you get off forcing to upgrade completely worthless buildings at these horrendous costs?

so i need to purcnase 2 station packs along with my par to upgrade the vault to 53 so i can do RnD.

oh!you say do more research?

thats as high as i can level ALL my station rss atm

. loq.and even if i did the last 3 its still deep into my CC

[haughty fjord]

Use an alliance exo 😅 and that steel is collected during a few days if you play the events right and win a few of them.

The amount of unc g5 that you need is the much bigger pain point… 🤣 I need around 35k Gas for T3 Corvus and the explorer pack give only 3.6k 😅

[spark finch]

besides the retrieving-that no matter how me times i restart and check doesn't seem to fix it.
the missing avatars and profiles from the other server sucks.
and! competing with another server sucks!!

[plush mountain]

Put speed ups in the treasury! Jeez an increased station pack with 0 speed ups

[shadow aspen]

Merged servers need more mining nodes in deep space, nodes for 4* materials are inadequate beyond belief, there are 20 active players to a node, how do you expect an 80k load to be done by everyone for the daily? Please add at least 20 more nodes for each 4* material and make the game more playable.

[short cove]

Many players report system being unreachable

Those in blue were white as I already visited them

[marble tangle]

Since this afternoon, in the german version of the game, all missions are now described in english. Could you please fix that, because there is a reason why people are playing a game in a german version, and not all of us are “language fluid” 😉

[vernal ore]

Lag is so bad I can't even see the armada. Sound alerts are also very delayed.

[mild kestrel]

... Meaning there's no longer any reason I can see to visit the webstore.

[old frost]

Hey, Scopely/Digit! You have no backend developers capable of handling decent server loads? Load balancing, server clusters/nodes, are these unknown terms?

[frozen venture]

If you're going to have PvP in systems many are flying into blind can you have the hardware to keep up with the workload? Dying to whales is part of the deal, dying while the map is loading and not being able to do anything is unacceptable.

[nova sierra]

I'm finding that the game is based on a PVP system of theft and I don't really care for it. I've gone about as far as I can playing PVE and STFC upped the daily requirements to something I can't complete, so I quit. When a game becomes a job it's no longer a game, I refuse to spend that much of my life playing a game that has turned into a regular JOB.

[sacred garden]

It’s pretty bad that over 3k other games just like this allows you to use the in game currency to buy everything even if it cost a lot of ingame currency, but not scopley’s they gotta make people spend the real money for things they should actually be able to purchase with the in game money. Suggestion scopley get a freaken clue and quit being a greedy ferengi with small lobes for doing bad business!!!

[old frost]

I've played this game for many years (ops 40) and spent more money on it than I'd like to admit. The feeling I am left with after all this time, is that the developer/publisher clearly doesn't care about us. The only reason for logging on is the social aspect, and keeping in touch with the friends and connections gained. The people/players are creating the good moments, not the product. It would be nice to get any feedback from them, I guess I have to pay an exuberant amount more for them to care, which is clearly the case, seeing whales have their own club.

[sacred garden]

#haaheim you are absolutely correct scopley’s people don’t care . I’ve been playing since the game came out and spent over $200 on it., and every time I’ve had to deal with them they treated me like crap.

I still play because I can see the potential of the game. If they would make changes in 3 areas it would be a great game.

1. Alliance needs alliance credits given for donating, a better store that offers everything in the game. That would fix alliance to were it’s more worth it.
2. Refinery should be set amount of each for ones lvl not this bs random wheel inside random wheel that screws people more then it helps them.
3. In game currency should be able to buy everything in the game and speed everything up, not this bs limited crap.

[old frost]

Seeing "loot boxes" are being cracked down on by governments as it's considered gambling, I hope it eventually gets to them too. I'm not talking about refinery in this case, but the random pulls one gets from store bought items. I've spent over a tenfold than that (don't tell my better half 🙈) but it doesn't matter.

I am a senior software developer and architect, I know development can be hard and expensive! Seeing the income flow the product generates, compared to the product delivered still makes me cringe. My biggest gripe is actually the stability and reliability - seeing small bugs that stays there for years, I find puzzling - clearly doesn't care or don't want to spend resources dealing with them. I have a fairly recent and up to date device, yet no app on this tablet crashes as often as STFC - not even the projects I am involved in, even in development stage. Congratulations STFC, you win the prize! 🥳

[lavish solar]

Hi @tacit obsidian, hope you are doing well. Sorry to insist but I would really like an official response, from devs, on my previous refinery issue. This is a real frustration when you need 3k, 4k, 5k to upgrade and you mostly get none. Furthermore, event rewards are mostly very low. To finish event and get 17 - 19 unc materials is another joke - possible hint to increase. Previous message is #💬-general-feedback message Thank you!

[sacred garden]

Th#donroot that’s because scopley wants everyone to spend $100,000 every month to get refined materials from their month packages and the stupid treasury vault like mindless zombies , when all scopley is doing is cosmetics since none of it extends the game . Your basically only buying a target or Walmart shirt for the price of a designer named brand ffrom beverely hills. That is a simple example for y’all. Slap an apple logo on a Nokia it’s still just a Nokia that you wind up buying for an iPhone price lol

[lavish solar]

Hmm, right you are!! with all! But I still have some hopes for the game. If I want frustration, can easily take them from real life. But for a game, I need something else..perhaps the waves of ppl leaving will wake them and do better! (not sure also how much until I say "sayonara" and go to other games)

[tacit obsidian]

Never apologizing for tagging, it honestly helps me see what needs to be responded to!

I don't have info on this right now, but more than happy to relay the feedback for you. If I get any info I'll be sure to let you know

[lavish solar]

Thank you, Eco

[gritty carbon]

Hey Eco, for the love of god could we get a slider or multiple-purchase option for shields in the Alliance shop? It really sucks having to buy shields one...at...a...time especially the smaller 4 and 8 hour shields

[tacit obsidian]

Can totally understand that. Let me mark it down for everyone

[gritty carbon]

You rock, appreciate it!

[stoic pebble]

Just wondering what the point of the parsteel, tritanium and dilithium mining systems is? After levels 10-20, there absolutely no point in mining them because of dailies,events etc provide more than enough.. perhaps they could be repurposed to stuff we actually need

[half ginkgo]

The conditions you described have existed on S32 for years.

[soft pewter]

Anyone know how long a chat ban normally lasts in game?

[vale wasp]

Ask CS and they'll tell you how long yours is. Some are perma

[static merlin]

I guess I can't the stuff in the lockbox without buying the lockbox even though I've some of the broken ones

[mild hemlock]

Correct, broken rods can be converted into a normal one to open it but you need 4000+.

[static merlin]

thanks for the information

[quick cape]

Hey @tacit obsidian, I have been thinking many people would find the reports showing server time stamps to be much easier to understand than how long it happened, especially since people take screenshots of the reports and discuss them in discord.

[vale wasp]

The 26s have a cheaper cloak cost, might help if you still need radiation. Though I've found it's easy enough to gather that for the few nodes we have to use it on

[lime socket]

You don’t have to do all the dailies

[hoary blade]

Yes but they can't kill the level of ships needed to get all 4 done

[muted coral]

Can we please get the apex event back that actually gives the apex medals. So much research sitting stagnant.

[buoyant hound]

Jess says no!

[modest hamlet]

Just updated the desktop version, I am loving the Emoji icon button 👍 🇦🇺

[true rapids]

Will depend on your Ops level and Officer tiers, but at Ops 36 I have been doing my cloaking dailies with a T1 D3 no components upgraded

[nova sierra]

i think using d3/legio is doable even for L39 hostiles, anyway even using them 3 cloaks cost more than what I get daily at op36

[earnest sinew]

Is there any way you can modify the alliance members screen so that Admirals and Commodores can view how much Contribution a player has made to the Alliance during their time? It would massively help with justifying promotion/demotion

[waxen kite]

no patch notes again ?

https://tenor.com/view/jean-luc-picard-star-trek-face-palm-fail-gif-12802835

[true rapids]

It’s skipping the Kill 3 Cloak daily every 5th day assuming no events which give Tetryons and no existing in inventory

[nova sierra]

yes but dailies should be doable every day (it's in the name), tying one to a specific resource that can't be acquired in the correct amount every day is not logical

[fallen epoch]

Tbh after about 2 months you get to a point where you have more research tetryons than you actually need so there isn’t much point of doing it daily. I haven’t done it in 2 months I still have like 4k

[nova sierra]

I do only one of the two, the one witch requires only a cloak to complete, when I remember to do it

but the fact that the research stuff currently is not needed it is not a justification for creating dailies that works this way

[fallen epoch]

🤷‍♂️

[reef venture]

Hey, @tacit obsidian. I don't suppose you have specifics on how battlereports exports were changed? A few of us have made tools and it'd be great to know if they're any breaking changes in it or just some fixes

[vale wasp]

I see a batch download option now

[nova sierra]

cool

[chrome vortex]

New update is bugged. dont load it.. you will regret it.. !!!!!

[fast gulch]

They want you to buy the tetryons you need. Scopely’s greed is worse than their math.

[hoary linden]

Why is there no way to exchange broken desealing rod for full rod....

[tacit obsidian]

I unfortunately don't at this time Illarvan

[inland elm]

Did update 42.1, now the game is no longer starting 😱

[stable timber]

Oh no

[inland elm]

Working now, but I had to clear both cache and local storage to convince it to start again 🤨

[tacit obsidian]

Time stamping the battle export correct?

[nova sierra]

Think he means battle logs and such

Like time stamp this lot

Xx:yy:ZZ UTC. For the purpose intended same would go for chats (private alliance galaxy)

[quick cape]

What @nova sierra said

Because otherwise when people take screenshots there is mass confusion because there is no common reference and we all depend on when person took the screenshot

So how much time ago the battle happened is pretty much useless. Knowing the time is enough

[neat hull]

It's strange that my ship's power reduces as soon as it leaves my station. Is that on purpose?

[rich elm]

Why are we getting these Doomsday armada directives ? I'd rather get regular armada ones. I don't really see anyone running those armadas anyway, and they do not award anything of use anyway.

[nova sierra]

Because there’s upcoming events, and no other way to source them

[rich elm]

heh, had 130+ before i even got the new ones, wish i could trade them for something useful

[fallen epoch]

Because there are researches' that are applying while in dock. Your out of dock power is the correct one

[feral wing]

Why are our alliance system generated messages now in Korean ?

[tacit obsidian]

Got it thank you both

[broken flower]

New update = ‘Fixing’ nonsense things rather than the things that matter =creating x10 more issues in the process. Another prime example of incompetence in the devs. Do you ever test anything before release? Utterly ridiculous

[nova sierra]

You do - not everyone will. Better have too many than too few. As said, there’s no other source for them

[lofty wharf]

The patch removes hyperlink capability from coords posted in chat. That's really bad.

[queen vector]

Yes the location posting is broken…

[stable timber]

It is known 😅

[lofty wharf]

Mines don't work either, armadas do.

I do not understand why they call that a patch 🙈 fixing some nitty gritty stuff an introducing new bugs that affect everyone lays open that they do not test properly and many things more ... non professionals at work ... 🙈

[sacred garden]

Did the latest Ugandan now having 4k more game issues then what I had before

[cerulean quest]

@tacit obsidian , how about scopely also announces in game “ galaxy chat “ that the are aware of a “ at that moment “ problem and there working on it , just like they announce “ maintenance “ . This would reach people faster and saves you or other people lots of pings 🤪

[spring spire]

All this patch gave me was severe lag. Thanks

[serene swift]

Where does one send suggestions to the developers?

[plush mortar]

What happened to the multi server channels

[sacred garden]

Why is it ship event doesn’t count the ship xp or the other ships special materials? This event sucks and isn’t a proper ship upgrade event if it’s not counting all ships when upgraded.

[vale wasp]

Check to see the #keep💌5-15-suggestion-voteoff first to see if the suggestion has already been submitted and vote for the ones you like while there. Otherwise, the log channel will come back shortly for new suggestions to be submitted within a few days.

[dark cairn]

This is literally 1 research for me currently at level 41. Improve this pack so it actually makes sense because even the resources, mats, and lat are a joke.

[hoary linden]

I'm still wondering where/when we'll be able to exchange broken desealing rod parts to a full rod....

[charred creek]

After log out cant log in

Anyone here got this problem?

[marble tangle]

Since the “update” with all the “fixes” coord links are not functioning anymore. Great work devs.

[lofty wharf]

Morning, with the latest patch Scopely gave us back this as well, do they really think we liked that? 🤣🤣 soooo unprofessional, Scopely, a recent regression bug, returning right with the next patch @tacit obsidian

[neat hull]

Thank you for explaining

Anyone know which Event will give Latinum for level 15 please?

[lusty elk]

And, more and more difficulties for some players to connect to the game...

[past totem]

Is there a problem with exocomps?

[crude sandal]

Galaxy... were you docked when you activated it?

[glad cradle]

You have to be docked for it to work. If you weren't, I believe if you return to base, it should then work as intended.

[primal light]

Think scopely needs to rethink there pricing of stuff in the shop.. i mean $160aud for a 1 dang desealing rod come on!! Also the other pricing points are way to high for some of the stuff thats offered!

[woeful echo]

Ok, so seriously $copley. I've gone through multiple avenues to try an get attention to this issue and all I get is 💩 and lies about how it's my fault but this is ridiculous. On multiple occasions I have purchased both from the app store and web store and not recieved what is being promised for the pack. The store says I'm getting X,Y,Z for my $100USD and I'm not getting what is being stated. This is fraud and it's sleazy business practices. Buyers be ware. Screenshot all your purchases... not that they are going to do anything about it mind you. It's just a "misunderstanding" or a "visual bug" bull💩.

[lilac yew]

Just be happy if you get what you pay for… it’s been 6 months and SCOPLEY hasn’t provided what I paid for…. But it’s stopped me from buying anything else from them so maybe it’s a blessing in lol.

[sour garden]

System links on the PC client are not clickable when posted to AC

[nova sierra]

Can I please ask why one player is allowed to constantly harass an ENTIRE SERVER over and over again for months like it's nothing. You're losing players to one ignorant player that repeatedly attacks everyone while they try to mine and complete events and daily tasks. People are deleting accounts and leavin the game on S155 because Scopely allow the actions of a single player to go unpunished even when that player's sole goal is to ruin the game for everyone else.

[woeful echo]

We have the same thing going on over on S14. There is too much money to be made off the 💩🕳s to care about ftp players. It's all about money.

[nova sierra]

They lose paying players to one person

This is not a paying player harassing f2p players. This is one paying player going out of their way to harass all players, paying and non paying

Scopely have already financially lost more from the players that have left than the one player pays

In actual fact they harass paying players more than anyone else because most of their attacks are in deep space

[nova sierra]

It's sad to think that literally all Scopely care about is the money coming in. Since the war in ukraine started we've had chats flooded with racist and fascist crap over and over again and apparently that's fine. One player decides to take it upon themselves to ruin the game for hundreds of others and that's fine too. There's no interest in actual matters of importance, just the next financial transaction. I think I'm done paying a company that actively enables abuse of pretty much all varieties to be honest

[lethal smelt]

Is there a fix for the unclickable link to system, or wait for them to push stealth patch?

[fallen epoch]

They know about it. Just have to wait

[edgy harness]

Mobile games care nothing about customer service or community health. Game fails they just rebrand it with mi or cosmetic changes and toss it back out there, make money off old already paid for coding.

[honest knot]

The dead link issue is a killer. They need to fix it asap

[dim hemlock]

This is ridiculous gentleman! The game keeps crashing Let’s spend sometime fixing the game issues and less time trying to get into our wallets!

[lethal smelt]

@fallen epoch ty

[nova sierra]

Scoopely whyyyyy

[fallen epoch]

New addition ☺️

[nova sierra]

But it ugly now😟

[fallen epoch]

True I preferred just the green icon. But it is what it is 🤷‍♂️

[quick cape]

I like it

Would always forget about it

[leaden lintel]

Except mine shows a '1' when I've already collected and there is nothing else in there

[lunar crown]

Any chance base defending is going to be fixed? It currently takes away from half of gameplay. The delay and lag is such, that you can actually watch someone attacking your base, but the base doesn't register it, for sometimes up to 5+ hits. When you're online and someone hits your base, you should be able to repair in time before the next hit.

[hoary blade]

Wow the new officers stats are so bad noth worth putting on a ship

[tame dove]

Anyone else getting some real bad lag today?

[tacit obsidian]

Thanks for letting me know so I can have it checked out

[stark wyvern]

Why not fix THE scoring for all armadas? Or change THE loot for unc i cand say that i see THE point in starting an armada tjat gives me 3k steel

[warped mango]

The adjustment to the tap area of the bookmark Button is fantastic. Please implement this change for the peace shield button too. It is especially helpful to have a smaller tap radius on mobile phone that doesn't have a very big screen

[uncut rivet]

@tacit obsidian You mentioned there's something being fixed regarding the Doomsday event. Have you heard anything about login problems? I got disconnected and I can't login via notebook/broadband, smartphone/broadband or smartphone/4G/5G. I'm from Brazil (implying there's a different route to/from the server).

[sturdy echo]

No reward recived for defeat as stated in the event log

[hollow pike]

You don’t get a reward from the armada if you lose, if that’s what you mean. You get points for dieing

[coarse jolt]

@uncut rivet I'm from Brazil too, I'm having the same issue.

[hidden sandal]

Anybody have any problems logging in?

[flat wind]

any word on this?

[nova sierra]

went from an amazing event to a total waste of time...well done

[wind vortex]

Why can I get alliance help building a ship, repairing a ship, and scrapping a ship, but not for tiering one up? 🤔

[waxen kite]

@tacit obsidian I hope they paying you in gold pressed.... gold... not sure if anyone would take your job at this point and at the state this game is atm 😛

[keen topaz]

doomsday event improvements are great, thanks

[nova sierra]

app performance is actually very very veeeery bad. game keeps crashing every few minutes

[knotty wolf]

What’s up with all the crashing and super slow game play? Even after a full system restart it still crashes 2-3 times per half hour.

[quick cape]

@tacit obsidian would help if we could have a button to check research even when we have other researches underway, like we can check ships

[naive briar]

What's happening with links in GC and AC...can't do it anymore

[mild hemlock]

#⚡-mod-announcements

[steady tendon]

Every game update seems to make the game more and more unplayable on iPads. Game shuts down every 5 minutes. Makes pvp impossible. Scopely please do something to improve the stability on these devices.

[tranquil dew]

Can’t you just click on the research building and use the button there?

[unborn steppe]

Voted...where my gift pack?

[finite rose]

Question feesha skin at what ops it is available

[quick cape]

...im ops 22, hadnt figured out i can do that until now.

[lost robin]

Are there any official population numbers or similar posted somewhere for the servers?

[stable timber]

Nope

[lost robin]

beans. Cause 76 seems deeeeeaaaaad

[pale pawn]

If a player has no buildings to upgrade and is waiting for ops upgrade to time down.. scrambled communication stops progressing.... Great event guys...

[alpine elk]

If you completed all the other may trophy events then it doesn’t matter if you miss this one as you will have more trophies than is required for the tendi unlock

[nova sierra]

still to not be able to complete an event because you are too far ahead in your development and have nothing else you can do is mind boggling

it happened to me in one of the past events, I now always intentionally leave behind a building or two

[mint viper]

Was lucky that my treasury building could be up. Was the only one left 😦

[limber dragon]

Nenhuma aliança Br pls! 😎

[thorny wing]

Please change all 2* mines to 4* …

[empty sparrow]

what are we supposed to do if we cant run an armada?

[fallen epoch]

Can anyone in your alliance run one? 🤔

Or no one at all

[oak lion]

In broken communications in the events what are we supposed to do.

[mild hemlock]

If you want the answers, check this post.

#🏆-event-chat message

[static geyser]

Can’t post and click on systems anymore…

[static geyser]

Or you build a building and it gives zero points 🍻

[tacit obsidian]

No new info at this time, sorry about that linchildeb

[tacit obsidian]

What do you mean? I've really been enjoying myself getting to know all of you

[tacit obsidian]

This great feedback and let me bring this up

[wind vortex]

I'm 2 days into a 6-day upgrade of ops. Scrambled comms event step 3 messes me up. :/

[quick cape]

@tacit obsidian You can do it from the research building, but thats still blocked when building upgrades. I think it would look nicer if it was next to the ships button as well

[tacit obsidian]

Sure thing

[tacit obsidian]

Just to confirm, are you asking for a button to check research? Because that does already exist

You can do that from the R&D structure right now as long as it's currently not being upgraded

Jess is about to drop the knowledge hahaha

Sorry Jess, go ahead

[surreal condor]

We think what they're asking for is -- if you are upgrading the building AND doing multiple researches... a way to see it.

The building being in process keeps you from using the button.

[tacit obsidian]

I have not personally heard of any issues like that recently. I wanted to check in and see if you're still having this issue?

[fallen epoch]

Same goes for scrapyard but for that at least you can check inventory for Stella particles and do it that way.

[quick cape]

Like Jess said. It happens often that i want to check and im upgrading the building. But also, its a logical place for it to exist. Next to the ships button. It will give a better feeling to the game i think.

[tacit obsidian]

Got it, appreciate the info

[flat wind]

thanx

[zinc swan]

Similar to being unable to navigate to the research menu while the R&D building and all research queues are full, you cannot navigate to the scrapping menu while the scrapyard is being upgraded. It's fine at lower levels or if you have an ongoing scrap project when you start to upgrade the scrapyard, but at higher ops levels where the scrapyard upgrades take considerable time and you rely on scrapping more for materials, it feels bad to have to either spend large quantities of speed ups or wait to simply destroy a ship.

[tacit obsidian]

Maybe individual buttons that you don't have to access the building for could be useful?

This is just my idea, this isn't coming from the larger team haha

[dreamy quest]

for Ops center level up, could we put in a confirmation button as to not accidentally claim it? for all the other buildings those don't see as delicate as Ops level, which dictates all gameplay

[tacit obsidian]

More making sure I understand correctly

[zinc swan]

That would work. Would be nice if all the building menus (scrapping, ship building, research, away, and treasurey) were accessible in one place

[brisk marsh]

hello name's reed, zuri reed i love you picard

[uncut rivet]

Thank you so much for checking it out, @tacit obsidian 🙂 At 34 minutes after my message, the game connected briefly for a few minutes, enough for me to overlap a 24h shield on top of the one I had. Then, 1h22min later I was able to login and haven't had the issue again. @coarse jolt sent me a dm, and we compared the error messages and service providers, and even though the problems were the same, both of us hire different providers. Oh, the stfc store website was not responding at the time as well, as per image below (connection was also restablished at 9:50pm out time [-3 GMT]).

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/976640650944581653/976641800695590912/unknown.png

[jolly forge]

So has there been a work around yet for the scrambled communications event question three? I still have 28 days left to upgrade my ops and I have no buildings to upgrade it’s really infuriating

[tacit obsidian]

The best way to get help with this is to reach out to Customer Support so they can assist with the event.

[jolly forge]

Also I heard yesterday to not download the new update because it was glitching badly and not working has not been fixed?

[tacit obsidian]

Thanks for all the info. I'm really glad to hear that you're able to log in again and not having any issues!

[tacit obsidian]

Some of the issues are still being investigated Artemis =]

[jolly forge]

Ok thanks 👍😀

[sturdy girder]

@tacit obsidian can we get a setting that allows us to disable the drop down banner that appears after winning or losing a fight? In the middle of fighting other players when we are trying to select another spot in system it gets us killed

Especially during a tc fight

Or even when hitting hostiles it's incredibly aggravating

[dim hemlock]

Can we put the arc event calendar in the news board on the station. Make it easier to look back at without taking a screenshot of it?

[quiet lichen]

Yeah I have to say you all not to stop putting in the events to build a building. As a 39 I have been tap out on buildings from all the other events. So thanks for screwing me over again.

[lime socket]

For the rnd building thing, if you click on a building that depends on rnd (eg science lab, shipyard etc), you get a button to go to the rnd, which takes you to the screen that has the research button on it.
@quick cape

Would be nice if it was less convoluted though

[wind vortex]

Refining gets an ❗ icon when I can refine swarm materials, ore, and latinum, but not when I can do a support/discovery refine. Is that intended?

[nova sierra]

This is very useful ty🙌

[vale wasp]

If you've nothing left to build, contact CS regarding this event. #👽-how-to-contact-support

[humble gorge]

got to admit, that at least s scopely did listen to one of my suggestions to highlight systems with mission planets in them

albeit, the ones that have completed missions are still highlighted

[stable timber]

Huh?

[lavish solar]

Hi @tacit obsidian , I have noticed the #keep💌5-15-suggestion-voteoff channel and was pleased to see some of mine there. Now, two things are needed for them: 1. Priority, 2. ETA (at least for top 3 priority). Otherwise, the list is just bits in a stream... And a clarification, For the #3 Scrambled Event - "nothing left to build" means maxed out and not out of resources - CS response was to get more resources and build something, in the remaining time..

[white mango]

hi all

[dapper nymph]

Good morning. The Eu 125 Copernicus Server is laggy as hell. Attacking, sector switching etc is really slow.

[quick cape]

Yes but that screen takes you through the RnD building. Which doesnt work if its upgraded. What you have to do in that case is to open the shipyard for example, go to a ship not yet researched, and pick a research. And again, i think it doesnt show all research categories, but only the one said research is based on (lets say station research). This complicated process shows unprofessional job, considering all games have an easily accessible research tree.

[cold lance]

@tacit obsidian I think I speak for server 163 when I say we need more fun. Every update we get a small amount of temporal fun (smaller every time) in the sense of new officers/ships/refits, but it also comes with a permanent new added task to do every day/week if we don't wanna be left behind, like swarms, borg probes, plundered cargo for the amalgam, mining lat and now also C.lat for the Feesha, don't miss Wednesdays for the Cerritos events... It's not much every time, but it keeps adding up. The fun should also be adding up accordingly, or every time it feels we have more work for the same fun, which inevitably makes people quit.

The main question is, why are we doing all this? It's to compete. We need some real competition features, with tighter brackets if they are events, for mining, pve, solo pvp and alliance pvp. TC was an amazing update. It was not a cashcow and it didn't give more daily tasks to people. It was all for our fun. Every 6 months or so, Scopely needs to do an update like that.

PS: TC needs a little shake. Most servers are not even competing anymore.

[lime socket]

It works, try it. It’s different from clicking directly on the rnd building

[civic turret]

Fix the damn chat.

[polar basin]

Have a brilliant feature idea. How about introducing hyperlinks to locations in the chat. Could look like this. Do you think scopely could create such a feature?

[lost robin]

Gotta purchase a "isometric scanner" good for 30 days that allows them to work, just $19.99USD

[polar basin]

$19.99 ? Why should scopely offer anything for less than $99 ?

[lost robin]

Well it's one of those scaling purchases like the vault key.

it will start at 19.99, and then only go up from there.

[humble gorge]

again, scopely forgets about lvl 16 swarms

[zinc swan]

Can we improve the usefulness of rogue warp tokens? Either increase the node size or add 4* nodes there?

[golden spade]

Any idea when they will fix the broken links???

[fallen epoch]

Nothing I know of has been said other than it’s been sent for investigation

[golden spade]

Thx. Makes scouting/raiding more difficult with friends

[warped vault]

Why are we getting a Discovery officer, during ToS week and a Kelvin Spock.. that features ToS Spock right on the main graphic...

[fallen epoch]

Yeah it is annoying 🙈

But there is a system search function so it’s not all bad

Could be worse

[quick cape]

Im happy about that. Need just a few shards to get him to tier 3

[gray sage]

Hiya, just spent 900 Google points worth£17.99 thinking I could get the discovery refit pack with but NO. I got a random chest with lat officer shards ect. I feel cheated now.

[warped vault]

Kelvin Spock has rather easy sourcing through the faction officer store

[quick cape]

Only if u dont want to get anything else

[sturdy girder]

@tacit obsidian is there any way to remove the drop down banner that pops up after every fight? Even if just made a setting. During tc it has a habit of getting me killed and I'm sure others have the same issue

[nova sierra]

I'm sorry I'm not really present at the moment but my job sends me to Ivory Coast and I won't be back until the end of May I hope you don't mind.
thank you family

[somber jackal]

Can we get rid of the cartoon characters and art please???

It looks so out of place compared to the other arcs of the game

And no I haven’t watched Lower Decks and no I’m not going to either……it reminds me of Futurama in a Star Trek meme

[quick cape]

[vale wasp]

They'll fit in better when we get TAS and Prodigy characters here

[white lion]

Yay, more cräp to look forward to. Yet no voyager or ds9……. Or even Enterprise.
I understand wanting to appeal to different demographics, but at the expense of long-established parts of lore - those that existed long before the game?
The more I see, the more I doubt my own future playing, especially as my peers are slowly giving up as the nature of the game changes…..

[vale wasp]

DS9 is planned for this year last I heard

Also, TAS is older than all of those

[white lion]

True enough

I’ll believe it when I see it about DS9 though. If I last that long 😂

[nova sierra]

Just curious, what ever happened to the avatar we voted on not long ago?

[quick cape]

Im ready to pay half an iphone to get an Epic Shran though, with an ability "The Andorian mining consortium runs from no one"

[hollow pike]

What’s TAS?

[vale wasp]

the Animated Series

[candid holly]

What is the point of having TC space? You’re not safe in it to mine anymore, almost no one has a base located in it, and it’s really out of the way. I can get blown up my enemy alliances anywhere. What is the advantage of having it? Looking for a bit of enlightenment here, having just been blown up three times in three different locations by the same enemy alliance.

[warm plover]

Please include mk II frequency modulators in future event stores.

[true rapids]

That’s all your server RoE, but faster nodes (3* nodes are faster than any outside of Lucrative Space), raids need to be warp raids instead of relocated, activated bonuses, access to 2*/3* Iso

[rose lance]

Anyone else put in a support ticket through the ingame system and still waiting on a response like me.

[sturdy girder]

@surreal condor

[surreal condor]

They can take 3-5 business days to reply sometimes, unfortunately

[sturdy girder]

@surreal condor is there any way to remove the drop down banner that pops up after every fight? Even if just made a setting. During tc it has a habit of getting me killed and I'm sure others have the same issue

[surreal condor]

I really wish. That is on #977312852425736222 this time for voting.

[sturdy girder]

The victory or defeat banner is the one in question

[surreal condor]

I would love the option to toggle them off / on.

[sturdy girder]

So you have the same issues with it?

I mean just in that instance not including when your station is getting hit but I feel that one would be obvious lol

[surreal condor]

Yes. Especially when I accidentally hit one and open a log or event page.

[sturdy girder]

Yuuuuuuuuuuuup

Atleast I can agree with the team on something! 😜

[surreal condor]

Not sure I really qualify as the "team". I'm the rebellious one with a pitchfork of my own. 🤣

[rose lance]

@surreal condor the ticket was put in on the 11th it has been more than a week

[surreal condor]

That is an abnormally long time. I would suggest you DM Eco, the CM. It's a weekend so I'm not sure if he'll see it before Monday but he should be aware of protracted tickets.

[nova sierra]

@tacit obsidian we have access to augment and Mudd crew in faction store, Discovery crew token. Why not add Borg recruit and Feriangi crew in the Borg and latium refinery? Using inert probes and Raw latium/ Concentrated Latium.

Not sure about how to add TOS crew. Hope someone might have a suggestion

The newest below deck officer can be obtained in support refinery.. also might be worthwhile to make Discovery refit more valuable be adding Harrison to Discovery recruit chest.

[stiff latch]

A support refinery that opens up when you get the Enterprise.

[dusty token]

Collecting iso is huge for the territory tree research over L 25. The higher you go, the more valuable it is. Currently for me I can refine about 12k per day and need 30k per research. If I didn't have access to 1, 2 and 3, then it would take me longer to get enough.

Ore and crystal and gas are 2x faster in 2* systems and 3x in 3*

And the services can be huge or useless depending on where you are. We own 150% hull buff for our 30s and 250% for our 40s. We used to own a faster mining enhancer that was too expensive to bother turning on. Other stuff in territory include crew buffs, piercing or armor or defense buffs, faster research, faster buildings, etc.

[fallen epoch]

It’s becomes much crazier at Ops 35 when alot of the tree is unlocked

[dusty token]

Yep. I am 38. Didn't want to overwhelm the guy

[fallen epoch]

😂🙈

I’m 37 and it’s torture

I’m max refining all the ISO’s

And I don’t have the meridian refit

And I barely do 2 research’s 🙈

[dusty token]

Doing the drive to 39 this weekend. Got my epic pull with 160 gas and didn't get credited, so I am 1 platform short. Argh!!

Also, 38 way better than 37 because you get deep space access.

[vale wasp]

That branch is kind of a trap. Too expensive emulsion-wise when stuff is unlocked. It's better to push ops to get better emulsion income and then to go back and do most of those

[fallen epoch]

This is what I did for the pre ops 35 stuff as well

Couldn’t keep up the income so I stepped away then came back to it

[dusty token]

What I do is all the away and iso trees first. Get all the cost reduction researches done. Then outlaw for more reductions. Then switch to the ones thst need uncommons. By the time I get back to territory, I have a decent stockpile again

@tacit obsidian gotta say the armada event was miserable. The rares were fine. 3 or 4 and done. But 70 people in an alliance running 50 directives worth every 6 minutes for 2 straight days meant ac was unreadable and people burned out. Please stop this sort of horrible event

We had a big chunk of our team unable to reach or without big enough ships to do 5 seat 40M kills, so we ended up carrying a lot of them, and the 39s thst they could do required carrying as well. Just poorly designed and for all that, the lower levels only got steel for their effort

[lime socket]

He”s talking about the doomsday armadas

[fallen epoch]

Sorry 🙈🙈🙈 completely forgot about that event. Thought it was the mat spend 😂😂

[dusty token]

No, the prior one with the fissure armadas

[fallen epoch]

Fair enough 🙈 I agree it was a lot

[median wren]

I am sure this is a common complaint, but every ship i have uses 300-400 3s uncommon gas for upgrades and i have gone 3 days in a tow refining now with ZERO given. Make it easier to obtain if its needed for every thing. Its uncommon not rare FFS.

[ripe thicket]

Please add jelly blueprints to the away mission store. I will be 42 before I have a jelly and I have done double epic pulls every time it is up for months. Even 4* epic pulls.

[fallen epoch]

Refinery is pretty bad, main source of G3 is events and once you get to ops 34 upgrades will be more like 1k+ 🙈

[lime socket]

G3 refinery is fine, it gives as much if not more than events

[opal schooner]

Slightly sad.
I wonder : who's proofreading the events before uploading them 😅 ? First graders?

[earnest ingot]

Opinions please

This is on a borta

[lime socket]

What do you intend to do with it? The crew doesn’t look useful for anything

[earnest ingot]

For daily missions! Swarm and red hostile

And I was trying to build a million power ship.

[upper parrot]

Do you have Picard or Pike unlocked as officers?

[quick cape]

Or a full Kirk synergy. Still better than this

[earnest ingot]

No pike or Luke yet!

[upper parrot]

Try this then:

Next Gen La Forge and Next Gen Crusher stay, you just swap Chen and T'Laan based on which hostile you are going to kill

[weary wolf]

When I stumble across a mission objective it would be nice if it indicates what forgotten archived mission it was from.

[fallen epoch]

Mine gives out loads but I know many people say it’s very weak and at times I can agree. Depends on Ops the closer to 39 the better

[glad cradle]

I’m going to have to disagree with you on that. The G3 refinery is terrible. The return sometimes is less than 3% of what you spend: spend 12,000, you get maybe 300 total (usually less).

[mild kestrel]

The refinery is indeed utterly, wretchedly miserly. I've been trying for several months now to get my B'Rel to T6 and cannot get there because every time I start getting close to enough 3* UC gas to be able to do ONE of the two remaining upgrades, something comes up that is either forced by an event or is a blocker for nearly everything else, and takes effectively ALL of my accumulated 3* UC gas.
But that said, I have no doubt that it is working as designed — where "as designed" is to force you to buy 3* materials in the store for real money, if you want to be able to progress in the game in less than geological time.

(And for reference I don't think I have ever seen as much as 300 of anything from even a 4-chest Prime Refining pull, much less a 2-chest. It's rare to see even 100 common.)

[flat wyvern]

first mistake, you need skip lvl32 ship, Sally can do all are you need until you got lvl34 ship

[fallen epoch]

Sally could probably go further than that tbh but there is no more ships till Ops 39 😭

[flat wyvern]

you have epic lvl34, enteprice, augur, d4, 😂

[fallen epoch]

Yeah I know but I mean the sally could probably run past that (slower than you would want) but it can do it

I mean it can cope with daily’s and events till about 36

😂😂

[fallen epoch]

Ent and Augur are 😍😍😍

[nova sierra]

I can confirm being able to do all the dailies with the sally on level 36, I think it can go even a little further, but you will suffer greatly in pvp

[flat wyvern]

Sally can handle more behind lvl39

but you need lvl34 one or two, I have all 3, but I build ent and augur on lvl36 ops, before few months build d4 for fun

[fallen epoch]

Yep at Ops 34 the sally starts suffering unless you pour in the research’s and officers heavily

[fallen epoch]

I built the Ent at 37 Augur at 34

You only need 1 to progress but 2 are useful to stretch yourself

[flat wyvern]

with pike. and moreau np, also now with Pickard and Beverly

np for Sally with lvl41+ hostile

I was make all military supremacy with Sally, and lot of my alli member

[slim knot]

This issue with location links being broken is the top issue in the game right now and needs to be fixed ASAP @tacit obsidian

[glad cradle]

He’s probably not working in the weekend

[true rapids]

Yeah, that’s probably the limit for Sally, at Ops 36 my Ent can take out of the the regular lvl 50 Traders in the capital systems, but barely, and don’t think the Sally has the heath (and guessing not the Warp Range for Deep Space Hostiles either). Sally can do all the Faction Dailies and Ops Dailies at under 30MM Rep in one go using Ty’Gokar and Groombridge, though I can’t do too many 41 ships and have it still be one hull

[daring yoke]

Innominate TOS mission is 40+ mission ... It requires warp range 185 ... Can a lvl 41 player have a warp range 185 ship?

[lime socket]

Lol if he’s complaining about his b’rel, wait till he sees what an epic needs 🤣

[lime socket]

People usually complain that the g3 refinery doesn’t give enough uncommon. I think you might be the first person I’ve ever seen complaining that he doesn’t get enough commons lol

[spring apex]

Really Scopley 185 warp range on this first tos mission. You gonna give me 5 star ship to get there

[maiden gate]

WTH Scopely! Give this mission to a lvl 39.... SAY "recommended lvl 40" to do the mission! .... you SHOW ME the lvl 40 player that can REACH A 185 WARP ZONE!

[mild kestrel]

It wasn't until AFTER I'd built a Bortas and reached about level 30 that I really understood that there SHOULD be a hard-and-fast rule: "At level 28, build your Saladin. No, build your Saladin. No, really, BUILD YOUR SALADIN. Did I mention BUILD YOUR SALADIN? And by the way, build your Saladin."

[vale wasp]

Not really, it's a trap too many fall into.

[glad cradle]

It wasn’t common I was complaining about; it’s the overall crappyness of the refinery I’m complaining about.

[mild kestrel]

What, not building a Saladin at lvl28? 🤣

[vale wasp]

Building one, but go ahead, if you fall into the same trap as everyone else you're not losing ground

[mild kestrel]

OK, that's interesting. Why do you say it's a trap? I'm curious.

[vale wasp]

Using mats unnecessary for the level and duplicating most of the capabilities you should already have through Vidar.

[mild kestrel]

Hmm. But the Vi'Dar is much weaker than the Saladin. I don't see them filling the same tactical role at all.

[vale wasp]

Yes, a higher ship is stronger than a lower one, but the vidar has had 3 levels to tier up already and starting on a fresh sal to catch up is wasting mats when you don't need the extra

[mild kestrel]

really though, it's almost like you need two accounts to play STFC, one to make all the mistakes and then a second one five levels or so behind where you apply the lessons learned from them

[lime socket]

300 from 12k can only be commons and even that’s a bit exaggerated. I don’t think you can get quite that much even with the prime and ops 38+ refinery. It’s at least ten times the uncommon you would typically get, if anyone got 300 uc out they wouldn’t be complaining about the low rate of return on raw 😂

[lime socket]

I think his suggestion is to go for the gladius instead

[hybrid saddle]

I wanted to come in and Say don't buy anything but the Battlepass pass each month but I have noticed this game over last few months has increased in major issues and and Errors..this new Error that won't let you link anything is annoying, as such I do not intend to buy anything until this issue is fixed, I will not Pay for a game that is Broken that badly ,and wile I'm sure 20$ a month is peanuts to u it in my view is the principle of the matter. I thank you for your time and look forward to u addressing the isshue in the above-mentioned.. Peace and long life to u. 🖖

[vale wasp]

It is, Vidar doesn't replace saladin, it replaces the sal's early tiers. Then bridge to a t4+warp gladius that can be strong enough to hold you over for epic.

You can also option to t6+w/t7 gladius and use that to push rom rep during your Pilum push and take advantage of devotion research

[real swan]

fix the god damn pointers

[wind vortex]

I wish the background things like debris fields and other anomalies were interactable, even if it was only with some lore info or something.

[nova sierra]

that would make more difficult to move ships around, especially during a fight when you need to change course as faster as you can

[broken flower]

@tacit obsidian Any way you can check if/ when Server EU-128 is due a server merge? It’s been lame for some time now, not many players left.

[limpid thistle]

It works skipping sally. Vidar is strong enough for PVE dailies/events except it makes it a lot harder to get enough armada loot to open chests and you’re useless in any war.

[zinc fox]

@maiden gate Agreed. Just gained access to the mission. WTH Scopely. Should be something we can access

[robust knoll]

But why skip the Sally? That’s such an amazing ship from 28+

[dire coral]

So everybody should run ops lvl 10 missions because every day new play log on?

[vale wasp]

When you buy stuff that you don't need, you use mats/rss that could have been better spent elsewhere

[robust knoll]

The Vidar does not replace the Sally. Saladin will carry all the way to 34 in a way the Vidar can’t. Heck, it’ll carry to 35, 36, etc if you don’t get epic bp’s much

[limpid thistle]

It is but it slows your progress down (unless you are disciplined enough to keep it T4 or so)

[robust knoll]

Not building at least one of the 28 factions is a bad move. Saladin is hands down the best, so highly preferred

[robust knoll]

How so?

[nova sierra]

I think you need the sally if you want to skip the liv 32 rare ships and go for the epics

[limpid thistle]

I am 38 my biggest ship is my vidar.

[robust knoll]

That’s fine. To each his own. I don’t see what you’re accomplishing, though

[nova sierra]

I think that counting on the v'idar as main ship for liv33-34 is a very difficult road, not impossible

[robust knoll]

To be clear, “replace” in this instance means doing “all the things,” not just a few.

[vale wasp]

No one's suggesting Vidar replaces the entire Saladin. It replaces the lower tiers of the saladin and allowing you to buy a cheap gladius and in doing so saves a ton of g3 mats (at the cost of your secondary credits) or some advanced players are skipping 28s and 32s entirely and moving to epics.

[limpid thistle]

I’ve avoided spending a lot of uc which has allowed me to access content a lot sooner than otherwise. If I did it again I’d probably get a sally but only take it to T4.

[robust knoll]

Buying a Saladin to skip 32 and go straight to 34 is a better use of rss

[robust knoll]

Hmmmm. I think you may be missing out on a lot w/o realizing it. You don’t even have an epic yet

[vale wasp]

A t4 gladius is dirt cheap and replaces the mid-tiers of a sal while you build credits for an epic

[limpid thistle]

The game has guard rails which means I can’t go to 40 until I have an epic or jelly. I definitely disagree with putting rss into the gladius for that reason 😅

[robust knoll]

So just T2 Gladius? Maybe T3?

[nova sierra]

I'm curious, do you engange in pvp? (Territory conquest, base raids/defenses) What armada levels you usually do?

[vale wasp]

No, I wouldn't stop that early, T4's not too much more and will cover more of your needs

You can though, nbd, seems like a waste of you aren't getting some of the value of out it

It did cost 60k credits

[robust knoll]

Yeah, see, the credits are part of the equation. That’s 1/3 an Augur

[vale wasp]

Which I wouldn't be building if I went this route

It's a rom/fed path, using rom for gladius and pushing for a fast ent

[robust knoll]

Hmmm. It’s an interesting approach, but I wouldn’t suggest it. Sally @ 28, then epic at 34 is going to be lots easier, and not really inefficient, unless someone is just trying to rush

[vale wasp]

But someone's going vidar to epic now, and seems to work. That might be even better than gladius

[robust knoll]

It’s doable, for sure. Just not sure it’s to be recommended

[limpid thistle]

I do the TCs. Speed crew on my vidar is helpful in moping up the enemy’s little ships. Armadas we do anything <40 but that is because my alliance has plenty of 40+ players to look after me.

[robust knoll]

Right. You’d have to be carried/starred for more armadas

Are you pure F2P?

[vale wasp]

Later on, the gladius will have additional value if you choose to pursue a rom G4 using the devotion bonus. Reducing the tygokor grind is pretty nice

[limpid thistle]

One thing I have had a problem with (but I have a nice alliance who listened) was with armada damage events. If they send their G4 ships it makes the event interminable for me!

[robust knoll]

Oh wow. Yeah, hadn’t thought of that

What’s your faction locked at? Tri?

[limpid thistle]

No - only fed…but mainly because I have managed it that way - I’ve focused on fed officers and spending all my AT credits on ent bps. Rom/Klingon are 5m/2m so still get plenty of credits from the dailies.

[robust knoll]

OK, so with the critical disclaimer that everyone should do what they enjoy, and the only “wrong” way to play the game is to treat it as not-a-game…

I think you have to “spend money to make money,” as it were. The Sally represents “spending money.” It’s capable in every element of the game, superior in most. I would even say go past T4. Run it from 28 to 34, then build an Augur or D4. It’s just going to “pay back” in so many ways that a Vidar can’t

That said, you’ve proved that the Vidar is capable enough, and can carry players a long way. I just think it ends with a wall that will surprise many (or cuts off parts of the game).

(I would also add the part that the $20 BP eases the pain of this game in so many ways, and makes a Sally much easier to keep tiered up)

[limpid thistle]

Tbh I hadn’t planned to go this far. It was mainly out of bloody-mindedness because everyone said don’t do it 😛 I had planned to camp at 35 until i had an epic but kind of got carried away…am f2p btw don’t get the battle pass

[fallen epoch]

Here’s the thing people don’t account for. On paper the Vidar could take you an epic 34 really fast but realistically this is never true as you remove the reality which is wars/disputes and how willing you are to grind.

[robust knoll]

Yeah. A pure F2P could do well with a Vidar.

[robust knoll]

This. Theory vs practice. Vidar-only would just miss out on so much enjoyment (imo) that a Sally opens up

Honestly, though, if you’re completing all dailies and SMS events, a Sally really is easy enough to keep tiered up, even w/o the BP

[limpid thistle]

Realistically what is a sally going to do in a war now that a vidar can’t? If you’re in the 30s you’re best to keep your head down IMO…a vidar is probably just as good a sally hunting enemy miners…

[nova sierra]

it depends on server age I think

[robust knoll]

I guess it depends on the server, but the Sally is a beast in PvP. Great base-cracker, good at killing other shops if crewed right, beast with dailies, etc

[fallen epoch]

I have both ships. The Saladin vastly out ranks the Vidar. The Vidar is good for speed crashing miners but that’s it

[robust knoll]

I guess if all that’s gonna happen is you die, Vidar is at least cheaper to repair

[robust knoll]

The store, too. That’s a big boon to getting epics

[fallen epoch]

I’m not disagreeing that the Vidar is amazing. I’m just saying the reality Vs theory of just having a Vidar is illogical

[nova sierra]

in my actual server, right now, sally are not enough to keep up in pvp, I use them to mop up little ships in tandem with a v'idar during TC, with the occasional hit on liv28 or small/damaged liv32-34, still good for base cracking due to rom+hg worf combo

[limpid thistle]

100th player on my server is level 44. Probably does matter what server you are on

[robust knoll]

I do wonder when you joined, and if your focus on a V set you back in the PvP race. V-only would slow progression down significantly

A player who joined a server when it was still newish should be aiming for a Sally from lvl 1, almost 🤣

[limpid thistle]

Been playing about 1yr. Also had bigger friends to crack bases if I need par…

[robust knoll]

Relying on friends is definitely a good way to go with a V. A Sally means you can be the guy to rely on sometimes, tho.

Also, how old is your server vs you?

[limpid thistle]

One of the original European ones I think. At least 3.5yrs old

Or something!

[robust knoll]

Oh wow. Yeah, Vidar-only then. 😂😂😂😂

A Sally would be meaningless in PvP on a server that old 😄

[nova sierra]

sadly yes

[robust knoll]

Well, for a player joining a server that’s newer, I would strongly advise against skipping the 28’s. The F2P path (imo) is 28+Vidar > 34. A Sally is the best 28, w/o question, so strongly recommended.

What you did, though, makes sense now. You’ve been playing catch-up since Day 1. I can see why you took the path you did

Regardless, as long as you’re enjoying the game, you’re “doing it right.” Kudos! 😊

[limpid thistle]

This can’t be real. An internet conversation where both sides can see the logic of the other!

[fallen epoch]

It happens here a lot. As long as no one gets hot headed 😂😂

[robust knoll]

It’s the people who see this as not-a-game that ruin it for the rest of us 😢

[fallen epoch]

Tell me about it 🙄

I was having a debate with some players the other day about how armadas should be run and let’s just say they got hostile for no reason

[robust knoll]

Armadas are soooo touchy

[fallen epoch]

You can have a whole debate about making it better and then still revert back to the old stuff people hated.

[robust knoll]

Yeah

[fallen epoch]

Seen it so many times I still don’t understand how alliances don’t realise this is what loses them their players

I ended up leaving an alliance over armadas. Best decision I ever made. The alliance I went to after was 1000 times better and they did bigger ones. Not perfect or close to it but way better

[robust knoll]

Yep. I wouldn’t be surprised to find it’s in the top 3 reasons people leave an alliance voluntarily

[fallen epoch]

And the top 3 why people don’t join

[lucid rock]

You okay there, scopely?

[iron pine]

1M Stella is pretty s(l)ick

[iron pine]

Anything above 1M gets the Magic Sauce Math™️ formula applied to it, anything under 1M still shows the decimals (and yes you showed that for entertainment purposes, but there ya go anyway).

[fading adder]

When are you to fix locations not been able to be shared.?? I loved this game but over the last 8 weeks things have gone from bad to worse! Every update causes a new issue. Things that were not broken are now broken. I mean how bad can the developers be? In my company I hire developers and if they made this many mistakes they would be fired. Seriously. No wonder why on LinkedIn are the advertising so many jobs

[chrome vortex]

@tacit obsidian Are there any plans to provide additional benefits to alliance levels above 40?

[nova sierra]

Not only did @scopely give us Independent credits as event rewards, they gave us the event twice!! Nice job! 👏🏿 Thanks! Keep it up

[true zealot]

Loved the layout of this month's arc store. Think the recruit tab, transport shard section could get the same treatment? Label groups of epic officers with their associated show. Consider adding TOS, Borg, and Ferangie epic officers. ALong with some rare officers to source as well?

[olive nacelle]

This completely ridiculous nonsense is why 90% of players reaching ops 40+ quit!
Could someone explain to me how making massive game blocks that are unobtainable for months (and yes I pay!) is fun?

[quick cape]

@tacit obsidian another suggestion, make it so we can see players ranking in alliance members from the alliance menu by TOTAL contribution, not just the contribution of the level, because that is useless.

[craggy saddle]

"!suggest (text)" in #977312852425736222

[quick cape]

I cant get used to that😂

Ok will try

Ok done, thanks!!!

[coarse scaffold]

Fed should get systems like the Duality arc systems that have Fed hostiles that don't cause rep loss to make it fair for all 3 faction. If Cardassians are being added as a faction, it makes sense to use both factions the same way as Klingon and Romulans were used for the Duality arc systems.

[crude sandal]

Also @fallen epoch .

Just locked Fed faction with my Vidar 😂

No 28 ship, no 32

A legionary for company and that's it

My main issue now is that, dailies (39s) are harder to find and kill quickly with warp 41, so my daily income has dropped marginally, and I can't do most of the missions to supplement my credit pool because the Vidar isn't as beefy as a t8 lv28 would be.
I could have gotten around that by pausing my faction officer purchases sooner (I'm at 120/150 Ent BPs now) , or taking longer to ops/faction up (giving more time to make use of ATA store), or balancing just below faction lock for a while.

But even then... 10-20 days or so and I'll have my enterprise depending on ATA payouts

[fallen epoch]

Nice!!

[crude sandal]

Not sure I'd recommend it as a casual approach to levelling up though 😂

Decided it might be faster to lock my rom rep so I can do dailies easy in Terminimurus now, than chasing veteran klingons around for the same benefit 😂

[lofty wharf]

Hi Eco, any news on the catastrophic patch (coord links broken, object texts scrambled as a regression bug from previous patch) the developers gave us last week?

[nova sierra]

Why is it catastrophic? Annoying sure, but…

[winter sigil]

What's up with the links not working? Can't post coordinates.

Also, the event notification keeps coming back and I have to repeatedly open it whenever I start the app before sending alliance helps...

[craggy saddle]

Broken since last update. Is getting looked into, possible eta is next battle pass release

[lofty wharf]

Well, I look at it also from a software professional perspective. And I would call it catastrophic from a development and release process perspective since it lays open the extreme deficiences of their processes. And considering that quite some people even could not log on, I would even call the patch a catastrophe.

[nova sierra]

Agreed many people not being able to log on could be called catastrophic, but you can’t really validate your previous argument by just adding elements… mentioned examples in itself are anything but catastrophic.

As to their software development pipeline, you are entitled to share your opinion of course, but personally I don’t see the relevance on a player forum (as opposed to a investor or manager forum). That said, for two months now we’ve had a bi monthly patch whereas previously that was I believe mostly limited to urgent hotfixes. It indicates a change in their development cycle, and I’m sure they’ll do a pro/con & cost/benefit evaluation. I’ve seen it in several companies, and making such a change is everything but easy but if you succeed, worth it

[crude sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/mansi-creative-khichdi-mansi-majithia-gif-20040378

[nova sierra]

I bought half a feesha shards from the store (I would have bought all of it but it was limited to 60 for ... reasons), so I made some considerations on how to get the other 60bp, I have 2 dvor, one is already at tier 8, but it is halfway to t9, I don't want to scrap it because that would be a waste of dvor parts, the other is a tier 6 d'vor, getting that d'vor to t8 would need roughly 212k dvor parts, the refinery (t8) gives me usually 900 a day, so I would need to wait for 253 days, fortunately for me I had already upgraded the laser, so I need only 200.7k parts, and I have 89k parts in inventory, so I need only 124 days to get it to tier 8, when will scopely will understand that sourcing for dvor parts is too small for the crazy amount needed to upgrade a single ship?

even if i try to buy all the dvor parts I can from the store I will not get enough to update that t6 to a t8

but if I buy from the store enough dvor bp to build a third d'vor, I can upgrade the new one and the t6 one to t7 with "only" 110k vdor parts, so I will need to buy only 21k from the store

[balmy spear]

Any idea when the F2P route for this is coming? I can't wait to grind for 2 years to get it when it does become F2P

[indigo bramble]

@balmy spear I don't think it will be ever free, but you can play the game fine without a g Dock,

[vale falcon]

@tacit obsidian Could we have a review on the officer ability value for 1of11? As you can see there is a stark difference in their protected cargo values while both being rare officers. Generally when there is cross over the values are generally the same and if you go by 1of11 being a borg, it tends to be that borg have higher values. Dupont is a newer officer but perhaps you could ask for a review or to at least revisit 1of11 as he's a little underwhelming compared to DuPont 👍

[round bear]

@tacit obsidian can you add a yellow dot status to the alliance diplomacy tags?

[fallen epoch]

It’s been suggested and already on #keep📜suggestions-archive

[agile lynx]

Level 50+ players in their 100M+ ships being able to hit players in the mid 30's with their <10M ships is horrible and stupid design. Please tighten the PvP brackets.

[warped fiber]

Why didbthe chess peirce disappear from the store?

Please bring back the chess pieces to the store

[livid vapor]

Because the arc is over,

[robust knoll]

DuPont is a purchased officer, for the most part. 1/11 is not. I think that explains the discrepancy pretty well. DuPont = $$$, so he’s better.

[sleek sorrel]

Thank you for the Gift Chest Scopley!

[weary niche]

Scopley for crying out loud can you please fix the broken link! we are going on 4-5 days now.... if you have to just delete the last update

[tacit obsidian]

I've gotten a few suggestions on ways to make alliance diplomacy tags better and I'm happy to forward the suggestions along!

[tacit obsidian]

Sure thing happy to bring it up!

[tacit obsidian]

No updates yet but when I get them I'll make sure I let everyone know!

[tacit obsidian]

Thanks for adding it to the log!

[tacit obsidian]

Not sure about that but would be happy to ask

[quick cape]

Still learning the system, will add another suggestion now

[tacit obsidian]

Few people have asked about this and I don't have info on that now. If I do I'll be sure to let everyone know!

[tacit obsidian]

Currently is known about and being investigated!

[golden token]

Yeah fix that damn coding or fire the code if they can't do thier job. They have one job and they're blowing it.

[tranquil dock]

If a cloaked ship has to drop shield to fire weapons why does the battle log not show its identity.

[kindred prairie]

"No, I didn't get a good look at him. He came out of nowhere so fast and then just hit me and ran off!"

[hallow raft]

@tacit obsidian Any chance of a heads up on what new bugs are coming? So we don't need to bother posting them.

[agile onyx]

@hallow raft you had to ask. 18 mins later maintenance with no warning.

[hallow raft]

There was a warning in game about maintenance, but not about what bugs we can expect.

[agile onyx]

You mean in the cess pit that is GC? Official discord announcement would be nice.

[blazing summit]

Nobody reads GC 🤣

[glad cradle]

I looked back 3 hours; I didn’t see any maintenance notice. It’s not for all servers.

[nova sierra]

Let's face it. If the game went into "maintenance" to fix things it would be down for days. Must be prepping their new line of £99 packs

[agile onyx]

Days hahahahaha Months!!!!!

[glad cradle]

The maintenance is for EU servers only. https://stfc.2c.fyi/

[nova sierra]

Maybe they should get some teen coders off of Fiver and get the job done properly first time 🤣

[agile onyx]

Probably coming to a server near you later.

[wind dock]

Why are we in matinace with NO WARNING During a hostile event

[nova sierra]

Because screw the players, This Is SCOPELY kicks something down a well

[wind dock]

Announcement on dc be nice our galaxy chat is not watched

[glad cradle]

The maintenance is for EU servers only. https://stfc.2c.fyi/

[visual merlin]

and even after 20 minutes no official statement

[craggy nimbus]

but what on earth are these guys pulling

out of nowhere maintenance, bugs all over

[stiff juniper]

Last night I started seeing massive graphical errors in the station and ship screens, blurry overlays until you can't see anything. Presumably it's a hotfix for that on the EU servers

[craggy nimbus]

hotfix for scopely? that is?

[tranquil sandal]

Have had similar issues too on eu130. Got worse and worse yesterday

[visual merlin]

ya we got a big chest 🙂

[mossy edge]

While I appreciate that emergency maintenance doesn't grant the luxury of giving adequate notice of an outage, it needs to be recognised that the chosen mechanism to give notice is inadequate. Primarily, most players have their feed on AC not GC. GC is where trolls live and frankly I don't blame anyone for muting GC if they have a choice.
To supplement the GC announcement, Mia should also be announcing in all ACs as well. That one change would make a world of difference between the "I didn't see any notice!" and "Geez, how soon?"
It would also be expected that a formal announcement is put into Discord at the same time.
Sort out your comms and the player base will be less hostile when these outages occur.

[agile onyx]

@tacit obsidian ^^ What he said.👍

[hallow raft]

Expect that option in a $99 pack soon.

[cinder forum]

How did u not finish that last night?

[broken flower]

Prime notification efficiency only $99!

[left jungle]

Looks like Eco is down too 😂

[wind dock]

I did I was just saying for others who haven't

[nova sierra]

Yeah some people expect to get the whole time allotted for the event. Especially when down time usually comes with several days notice on discord. Not a kick in the teeth when trying to login to do morning bits

[glad cradle]

Unplanned maintenance usually has short notice; that’s likely the situation with this maintenance

[nova sierra]

Indeed. But they'll call it unplanned maintenance and then we'll get on to find everything is still broken. 🤣

[glad cradle]

For those players complaining about no ac or discord notification: I created a suggestion here, please vote. #977312852425736222 message

[lime lion]

They probably tried to fix something, which broke the game so bad they had to do a emergency maintancence

[agile onyx]

they gave notice in game in GC, What it needed was a Discord Announcement, if they had 30 mins in Game, they can give 30 mins on Discord.

[lime lion]

aah, wasn't able to be online yet, so didn't know maintenance was coming

[agile onyx]

not many did as most sit in AC not the cesspit that is GC

[nova sierra]

GC on 155 is for racists and bullying, but that's all part of the game (apparently). And for those of us that weren't logged in a notification in GC is about as useful as a nob in a nunnery

[lime lion]

True, did they say how long maintenance would last?

[exotic wave]

Could maintenance messages also be displayed in alliance chat, often general chat is a toxic dumpster fire that some players never view.

[lime lion]

I'm really feeling lucky with my server now lol, toxic behaviour only occurs once a week at max

[vale wasp]

About an hour was the in-game messaging

[glad cradle]

Check the suggestions channel

[lime lion]

Thanks, when did maintenance start?

[glad cradle]

It should be over anytime

[vale wasp]

A little over an hour ago, give them time

[turbid smelt]

Miles O'Brian to the bridge please The servers are down again

[lime lion]

Ah oke, thanks lads

[paper sluice]

an announcement on discord wouldn't hurt anybody. can you give scopely a hint about it, maybe they learn it some day. hope dies last.

[pine hare]

Do not put the words "scopely" and "learn" in the same sentence. These are incompatible concepts.

[paper sluice]

as i said ... hope dies last

[vale wasp]

The issue was escalated already.

[sturdy barn]

Congrats Scopley! You fixed the wrong time announcement for maintenance! You simple don't announce it any more! Great solution! Could you please fix all other bugs as fast please😵‍💫 ?

[river nexus]

in game

[weak dagger]

for pc why don't you add quit to options since I can only use task manager when that happen

[craggy nimbus]

great work Scopely in fixing that links issue on the maintenance time!

always a pleasure the service you provide to your customers

[quaint nimbus]

Yep … still doesnt work 😑

[fossil siren]

not the location link in chat......

[craggy nimbus]

sending my QA team to spot that as we speak

[fossil siren]

not the names

[craggy nimbus]

LOL

deleted messages?

that's what you do know?

who was the mod? Candle?

[craggy nimbus]

here, i've replied to some message that disappeared!

@vale wasp ?

this is the way you proceed now? fast to delete messages but no way to provide a good UX to the members of the community?

if a better service was provided, less complaints would come out

think of that!

[grave quest]

Scopely, did someone forget to push the start button on the servers? Hour has come and gone 😂

[glad cradle]

The messages that disappeared were likely deleted for a possible violation of posting rules.

[craggy nimbus]

bah! and violation our rules as clients? oh, we have none

[woeful rapids]

So what exactly was this maintenance for? Links are still broken

[craggy nimbus]

i would ask, but might get my question deleted!

[vale wasp]

I don't work for Scopely, just a player-moderator here. Messages are regularly deleted for not conforming to the rules of the discord

[craggy nimbus]

what rule of discord was that?

tell me about it

[vale wasp]

If you've lost a message, then you can ask.

[craggy nimbus]

and you're mod on a channel related to the game, run by scopely

[glad cradle]

Check rules-and-roles channel

[craggy nimbus]

It wasn't even me that lost a message!

just saying it's pretty dictatorship when that happens

[terse wing]

Go off for an hour for bug fixes, yet worst big is still present!

[river nexus]

my message was delered for bad language but i censered it myself

[craggy nimbus]

you eat crap all day from your rulers, everyday and no one come out swinging banning and omitting that, but here it's easy, get it!

[craggy nimbus]

i don't want to check, want to explain to us community and let everyone judge it properly and assess if the message was so outlined that had to be deleted on the spot

[river nexus]

i used the f word but used xx so my bad ok

[craggy nimbus]

that for me is a outburst of dealing with so much bad user experience

[vale wasp]

That's not your role. You should read the #🌠-rules-and-roles12 if you want to avoid having messages deleted.

[river nexus]

not scoply discord bot removed it ok

[craggy nimbus]

right? it isn't!

[craggy nimbus]

are you thick? it wasn't my message!

read you before assuming things!

i'm out of here

fix that links will ya?

[vale wasp]

Relax, I'm aware your message wasn't deleted. I'm just telling you ahead of time because you look like you're on the road to breaking them

[craggy nimbus]

work your away around those guys and fix this things

we buy packs, we put money into their side and this is always ******

tired of bad user experience. glitching graphics, bad names positioning, linking now

[river nexus]

he is a mod for this discord server not the game stop taking it out on the wrong people

[craggy nimbus]

i'm out of this place

[glad cradle]

Then quit if you hate dealing with the problems

[misty nebula]

Any info available on when Scopely will finish the maintainance? Still cant get into the game.

[hollow pike]

It finished at least 2 hours ago

[desert skiff]

So maintenance today and links still not working …. <@&509691205798592532>

[modest fern]

the links working with a trick

#🌌-galaxy-chat message

[desert skiff]

I know that trick, but it’s just a complicated workaround for something that perfectly worked until they screwed it up by themselfs

[modest fern]

ok. Then we need to wait to the next Game Update in the APP Store, because it is a Client Side Problem not a Server Problem

[desert skiff]

And it’s a problem totally unnecessarily caused bei themselfs out of a bad quality management and it’s present now since 2? Weeks?
This is just a poor, very very poor policy from their side

[modest fern]

Yes. But how long are you playing this game?

[nova sierra]

It’s literally two extra clicks 😂

[desert skiff]

Long enough

[desert skiff]

It’s an essential feature they broke and don’t seem to be able to fix quick

[nova sierra]

Whether it’s essential is highly debatable, but if it is I wouldn’t call a 2-click workaround “complicated”. I’m spending way more time rebooting after game crashes for example.

[desert skiff]

Did I say complicated, yeah I did, but it’s not just two klicks, it nearly doubles your klicks, even if the description is just 3 points
Klick Target, Klick Share, Klick send
Klick Target, Klick Share, Klick back, Klick Share, Klick send.
And yes that sounds not much 2 klicks more, but it sums up.
Got an armada from a teammate and use search (which since it exists needs way to much Klicks) or in cases it has to go fast.
And yes as it IS essential, as some (me for example) just can’t keep in min all systems.
And it’s a bit the indifference seen here, just scrolled there’s the announcements, three messages to the tendi event (which for itself is also… if you need to explain it that often you madd something wrong) and one message about the links from 17.05

[modest fern]

We all could say the "Communication" is a big problem. But with @tacit obsidian we got a good communication Endpoint

[desert skiff]

Yeah this not to be misunderstood, as far as I know the mods in here a just voluntary doning this, so shouldn’t be a blame towards them. But there is no @brittle crescents …

Ahem ok, or I just wasn’t aware of 👀
Nah, just a user…

[waxen kite]

erm what did they patch ? lol

[nova sierra]

Devs are aware, I’m happy they’re spending most of their time coding rather than answering individual questions 😉

That said, afaik armada invite links have always worked

[desert skiff]

Nope, seen some broken and some not

[nova sierra]

These ones? Curious. Haven’t seen them broken

[desert skiff]

Iam beginning to believe it’s just the apprentice who’s coding… as to the other question of how long Iam playing, don’t know it exactly but about 3 years, and somehow I’ve seen a lot of bugs being added and some very old still ingame

[nova sierra]

But even if they were, click alliance > armadas > links

[nova sierra]

I didn’t ask that question

[fallen epoch]

The reposts are broken. Not the originals

[waxen kite]

armadas been broken for a long time anyway, how many times you send ship and you didnt even see a timer on your ship until you moved him a bit

[lime socket]

I don’t see the timer 100% of the time, have to keep switching to that ship to get the timer

[nova sierra]

Yep. Rather they focused on this instead of some links 🤷‍♂️

[fallen epoch]

The didn’t see the timer thing most the time is just graphical normally your already in

[desert skiff]

Yes, unfortunately don’t have a screen, but I’ve seen both.
As for the workaround, you need a fixed point, if your in a system and try the free space as link, you probably won’t be able to klick the exact same point again. Well at least be not me in a acceptable amount of klicks

[waxen kite]

only thing they are focused on is probably another 100$ ship and new stations , thats for sure

coz this isnt even funny anymore

[nova sierra]

You’re not applying the workaround correctly. You don’t need to select position again

[waxen kite]

star trek: Bug fest

[desert skiff]

Maybe they should focus for a while on all bugs instead of battlepass with dozens of new materials and officers… 🤔

[nova sierra]

Agreed, but that’s a different discussion 😂

[desert skiff]

Yes I have, when I just leave the chat and go back and post it won’t work on my side
