[sullen matrix]

wasnt the mobile workaround video of rev like last week or so?

[craggy saddle]

No, thats old

[modern vault]

Doesn't say anything about "this store is empty" when backing out of events... I hope that is fixed

[sullen matrix]

yeah

[fallen parcel]

I’m so glad they got around to fixing the typos.

Whatsoever would we do with all the typos? They make the game UNPLAYABLE.

[sullen matrix]

"Fixed an issue where G5 Epic ships had a Protected Crago: 4 at Tier 1."
They got moved into the patch notes :>

[wind nebula]

ingame notifications (that popup under chat) after refresh look much nicer now. Thats nice.

[hasty oar]

patch restarted twice

and is extremely slo

w

i hope private message are not deleted

i found my private messages all empty

still 134 on 393 megs

[wind nebula]

@hasty oar try flushing cache if on android or reinstall if on apple

[hasty oar]

i play from pc

[craggy stump]

Notification Toaster: small change but so visually pleasing! love it 😍

[autumn rover]

New G4 nodes.. Finally

[autumn rover]

Need to update my prescription to read it 😂

[graceful lotus]

100% loving that nee notification banner

So easy on eyes

[craggy stump]

Always good to keep the glasses matching for your eyes 😜

[hasty oar]

283 on 393

[upper parrot]

I like how for researches and buildings it now changes the arrow / building level color to light blue when we have all prerequisites met, but do not have mats to do the research / building upgrade yet

[misty pewter]

The new notification screen is basically unreadable on smaller devices like iPhone mini 😦

[zealous trellis]

Hire a proof reader.

[gleaming nebula]

Nice bug

[steel escarp]

Why don't you put changes in the release notes? Looks like there are added 4* mining nodes and the notification boxes have changes. Also updates to artwork in the Augment and Rogue Faction Store.

[sour basalt]

Where’s transporter pattern officers gone?

[nova sierra]

Could it be you don’t currently have any?

[empty dawn]

Did you update the game through the App Store? I see all of my TPs

[radiant robin]

U broke alliance rewards I can no longer claim 🤬😡🤬

[sturdy barn]

Top aktuelle Nachrichten

[tacit gate]

Must be a temporal distortion.. did you scan for tachyon particles?

[hoary lynx]

@tacit obsidian please pass along that the team missed out on announcing the added g4 mining nodes in the news. That will make a lot of players happy

[upper parrot]

I like this one, the suspense!

[umbral lark]

Too busy creating currencies to do application testing...

[chrome thorn]

Can we get two of the best Star fleet captains? Sisko and Janeway? Do we really need four Spocks three kirks two pikes and two crappy Burnhams?

[gleaming nebula]

@scopely, give him a job 😂

[tacit obsidian]

Janeway is my second favorite captain not going to lie

[short jay]

The new toast or "banners" and are aesthetically a big improvement but making them non-clickable is a huge step backwards. I was hoping that was a bug. It is critical there be a path from banner to event progress. This is key to the UX.

[shell root]

Hey @tacit obsidian, my 2 cents here. It's been clear that Scopely wants people to move up in ops levels. The introduction of the level 60 cap, and more an more content exclusively focused for the 40+ crowd clearly show that. But unless Scopely really ramps up the materials and resources payouts for the mid 30s, the majority of players are just not going to get there like you want.

[gleaming nebula]

That clickable was a pain in the *******. Try to select a havy trader after you shot one, you couldn’t see to top line. Needed to wait or click 4 time to get them out of the way

[white glacier]

New researches are nice but again heavily ops locked.

If Scopely are going to continue to pit lower ops players against higher ones in events etc then widening the gap between them in what researches etc are available only increases this pain point

[steel escarp]

if you need to see the toast info you can go into your inbox. I don't think I have ever wanted to click the toast to see the battle log.

[loud stag]

yeah CHEST_GET

[wise notch]

@shell root Not only in the mid 30s.... looking at the amounts needed to upgrade even a single ship component or building, the amount of especially uncommon material is a joke... I mean even if I do 2 refines at maximum amount of chests I maybe get 50 to, if you are lucky, 100 units of uncommon material. but you need thousands and tens of thousands for just a single upgrade...

[gleaming nebula]

Won’t open, restart, restart, update done and won’t go away

[short jay]

One solution would be the limit the click target. It doesn't need to be the whole banner. This new version has a Starfleet logo. That could be the click/tap target.

[gleaming nebula]

Solution would be option in the menu to turn it on / off

[steel escarp]

that is a good option BMW.

[short jay]

That works too.

[shell root]

I found the banners useful to click on to see where I was in a SMS to finish it without going through the whole deep dive events menu. I can do without it, but it was a nice shortcut for points checking.

The ones that told me I killed a ship were useless though.

[short jay]

You don't have to click on ALL of them.

They are incredibly useful a lot of times though.

[native adder]

@tacit obsidian Thanks for your help with the issue on EU135 - the addition of new nodes in the update seems to have fixed it.

[gleaming nebula]

I just killed a pvp ent, was useless but also fun 😂

[tribal cloud]

It's now impossible to know what position you are in the banner

Do you even do any ui testing?

[shell root]

I think it's screen size dependent now. On the PC 4K monitor I can see the whole thing clearly

[tepid bramble]

Whoever had the absolutely douchey idea of having the metaphysic particles you get when you don’t use Apple Pay as a needed mat (to the tune of 300$ worth of regular spend) should be fired.

[shell root]

Poor testing for sure for the majority of screens though.

[tepid bramble]

For real, that is hurtful. Those are supposed to be “hey thanks for spending money where we get most of it, here’s a bonus store for you”

Not a mat for research. So obvious in the greed.

[woeful nymph]

Woof…

[short jay]

You're right. Depending on the message, it truncates the text leaving out key information like position, which arguably should be listed FIRST. Maybe the space with the Starfleet logo would be better utilized for a position number. Dropping the link functionality has only been live for all of 2 hours and it has already made me insane. When you're in an active event like Lat Rush and the Lat Rush card is buried behind a bunch of other events, this will be totally unbearable. This was one bit of functionality that was really good in the game. Why on earth take it out?

[proper tinsel]

Just curious, why do you call us commanders, half of us are rank admiral which is in fact equivalent to a general.. And why do we skip from admiral to commodore in alliance ranks? Should allow vice admiral, all the way down.. Or at least co admiral and such.. Ranking system in alliance crew is lacking.. We're having to make up our own ranks.. Diplomacy officer fex.

[smoky ibex]

Another Spock! Geez so many character and we keep getting redundancies!
I love strange new worlds but come on you have other series to bring in to game before this new one.
Janeway
Checotah
Paris
Kim
Torres
The Doctor
7 of 9
Neelix
Archer
Tucker
Dr Phlox
Ta’pol
Sato

Meriwether
To name a few!

[nova sierra]

No need to spam this everywhere.

[smoky ibex]

Not sure which thread

So put it everywhere

[nova sierra]

Please don’t.

[smoky ibex]

I feel strongly about it so I did

[proper tinsel]

And did ya think there might be rights infringement on some of those characters?

[smoky ibex]

They own the name

[proper tinsel]

BTW ya just spammed my entire post away

Different people own different parts

[smoky ibex]

Repost

[proper tinsel]

They might also not feel like allowing all of those.. Be happy with the ones you get for now.. They just brought out new chars

[smoky ibex]

Tired of redundancies

[proper tinsel]

Repost lol Just curious, why do you call us commanders, half of us are rank admiral which is in fact equivalent to a general.. And why do we skip from admiral to commodore in alliance ranks? Should allow vice admiral, all the way down.. Or at least co admiral and such.. Ranking system in alliance crew is lacking.. We're having to make up our own ranks.. Diplomacy officer fex.

[proper tinsel]

Can always play bubble witch or something.? Even in the movies there's redundancies

[smoky ibex]

Invested too much time here and have the same rights for my opinions

[proper tinsel]

Ok.. Good fer you.. But respect others rights as well, or open a ticket and complain to the makers in pm.. If you haven't been answered yet, and I gather not by spamming your post, then either they are busy trying to already address your issues, or they are busy trying to finish updating the servers..

In which case id suggest give some time from posting to allow them to address your post

[smoky ibex]

You are diplomacy officer? Nice diplomacy

[proper tinsel]

Nope, here I'm just a player

[smoky ibex]

Yes and not post police

But I won’t repost “spam” as I was not aware of implications

[proper tinsel]

Considering that you were a bit rude the moment I got here, I thought I would address it.

[radiant robin]

Can u stop having the private message list clear every day vary fn annoying 🙄

[maiden dawn]

Please make the event banners clickable again.

[smoky ibex]

Like I said not really diplomatic

[proper tinsel]

Especially as my post was yet again bleached away from messaging you. I just wanted to address the issue on your part, so at least someone was at the very moment

[smoky ibex]

Title suggestion🥴

[proper tinsel]

But I wish you good luck in getting those characters in, as some of those were my favorites... Good luck again.. Just please don't spam suggestions, not very nice as a player

[smoky ibex]

I thank you for you last response

Peace🖖🏼

[nova sierra]

👀

[proper tinsel]

I wasn't trying to be rude or disrespecting. I just wanted to get a question/response in as well.. Ds9 was my favorite series lol. And I'm interested in the response on why those have been left out.. But ranking in alliance was important as well to be asked

[tribal cloud]

wait what, metaphasic particles are now required for research?!?!?!?

[nova sierra]

There’s thousands and thousands of players here, just because a post isn’t ‘first’ doesn’t mean it won’t be read or taken to the team. That said, spamming the same over and over is, for good reason, against the rules

[proper tinsel]

I'm especially having issues with ranking due to absorbing 3 other alliances

[nova sierra]

Just a single prime research

[proper tinsel]

Ty.. Appreciated
I know this is a much larger server than ones I'm used to so I'll keep that in mind

Not sure if this should go here or not, Imo, the banners still need an adjustment with a wrap text.

You're welcome. Definitely still agree with you on the banners. It's causing a bit of eye strain for me. Plus the issue of wrapping text at the end.

[swift cloud]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[austere marten]

Just for reference. I can read it, it is a bit small, and the end is cut off

[rough pier]

I sent some screenshots to support of my small and cut off toasts

It should be an easy enough patch. I'm just surprised they didn't see this in testing

[austere marten]

Working as intended lol

[rough pier]

If you write your story well(/poorly) enough, the test will always pass

Alternatively... We are the testing (gasp)

[iron pine]

"Banner should contain event text"

✅

SHIPIT

[rough pier]

I'm admittedly probably mixing up banners and toasts anyway. With CS, I just said notification I think

[iron pine]

Mine looks pretty cool too:

Just need a magnifying glass to read it.

[rough pier]

What is this, a game for ants?

[iron pine]

Scaling brokesed?

[rough pier]

I do really like how the new banner has a cutout notch in it to fit in with the bottom of the chat box. Nice design feature

[iron pine]

Not on my PC xD

[tribal cloud]

Yeah, it's obvious the most recent UI changes were designed with PC first in mind

which is hilarious, considering the game's core is mobile iOS/Android.

[frozen frigate]

This overlay is awesome! TY for being efficient on screen display!

[woeful coral]

The "what is Scopely going to break in this update" thing is really getting old. We're customers not play testers.

[cyan granite]

Hey scoping alliance rewards is not working cannot collect

[sacred garden]

The changes you did to cloaking suck, you made cloaking worthless. It was a great feature when it first came out, but then you made it worthless taking away the only part of the game that kinda made it fair against pay to when . Now it’s a worthless piece of crap that gives no edge . This ability to see cloaked ships should have never been added . Even in all the series they have always had a hard time locating any cloaked ship. Your percentage for seeing cloaked ships is way to high since in all Star Trek it was always a very low chance

[nova sierra]

Locking primes behind multiphasic store is not cool

[summer comet]

I can’t access the research tab. My game gets stuck on this screen

[sacred garden]

Still sucks your still skipping a couple old series, been waiting 3yrs for voyager and ds9 which should of been done before all these new series

Your galaxy map should show the quadrants alpha , omega, gamma, delta etc.

Never knew borg to be passive hostile s they were always aggressive hostiles especially in their territories, lol

[native adder]

I imagine they will be released when we get an appropriate arc. They’re not going to introduce Voyager or DS9 characters in a Strange New Worlds arc, for instance.

[rough pier]

The game isn't a 1:1 of the shows, and obviously the new shows are being done for cross promotion

[rich elm]

yes please, i want me more chests

tis everywhere

[tepid bramble]

Yes, in the new prime XP research in Galaxy for 40+

[tepid bramble]

It STARTS with one. Please don’t try to justify that. It is plainly greed and douchey. No two ways to take it.

[tacit obsidian]

Being looked into! Mind letting me know where you're seeing this as well?

[rich elm]

Refinery every section / except Latinum - this may have it too, but I have 3 hours before I can open more chests
Gift: Away Team / Territory / Alliances / Resources / Offers (this has shared_single_value)

when's the check day for QA testers ?

[twin granite]

I'm not sure if someone mentioned that before but I really don't like that you can't tap on the new event scoring pop up to get on that particular event page window.

Yes, the new version of it is smoother, faster responding to changes (so far) etc. etc.

But, the fact I need to go all the way through scrolling to the event window I need Manually, open up several "folders" if it's daily ones, just to check the numbers that I need is... frustrating at least (not to be harsh).

It's not only takes too much unneeded actions & consumes my time, imagine if that's an SLB when people scoring on the last minutes/seconds.
Now I can't quickly check the store & get back.

[paper turret]

OMG you guys suck so much, how the hell do all these new shows get in before DS9

Then we get Quark and Rom, and this all this other stuff....

shame on you

[tepid bramble]

Because it is part of marketing. How did you get to be an adult and not figure that out? Legacy stuff comes when new stuff has burned through the attention cycle. And sometimes they are labors of love instead of a hack job because the studio wants a tie in. 🙄

[paper turret]

Your vision is to narrow to offer an explanation, yes there marketing is what I am worried about

how did you get to be an adult thinking you know what other people are thinking

[tepid bramble]

I would rather see them do it correct then wrong.

[paper turret]

I'd rather see you say something smart

[tepid bramble]

Because that particular complaint is not a reasonable one? Compared to the LIST of sins scopy has, doing a new show instead of DS9 shouldn’t get that much ire?

[paper turret]

Correct

Your complaint is not reasonable

[tepid bramble]

Be angry they are putting store currency as a research mat.

[paper turret]

Its a game, don't get angry, that is a waste of your life force

[twin granite]

In addition, not being able to click the pop up after any event happend to get on corresponding screen (battle log after attack, position of the armada started etc) is very uncomfortable. It's really a step down on a effective/productive game play experience.

[waxen kite]

YET another Spock... LOL just lol

we have more Spocks in game then proper BPs

[spare vapor]

Hey @tacit obsidian excited for SNW, but how do we petition to change the name from "SNW Pike" to his correct name, "Daddy Pike" ????

[frail lotus]

Timed chests should reward players on a sliding scale, with rewards getting better over time spent in game.

[tacit obsidian]

That one might be a bit of a hard sell to change....

[spare vapor]

LOL, just trying to spice it up!

I can't collect alliance rewards. Is anyone else having that issue? Happened on both PC and Android

[craggy saddle]

Known issue, being investigated

[small silo]

Thank you

[nova sierra]

Please use your nice words. He’s right, tie-in with current shows means more people going both ways between game and show.

[paper turret]

What was so mean? As I said, narrow perspective

how long has this game been out?

how many things made it in first?

You just look at the here and now in your reasoning

[nova sierra]

Since the new films, which is what It was here from.

[paper turret]

plenty of time

Again what did I say that was so mean?

[nova sierra]

So despite TOS being here a bajillion years, TNG too, Discovery made it first because it was current.

Current shows will always be more beneficial for Scopely, and hopefully to us as a result.

[paper turret]

I heard that, what did I say that was inappropriate?

The dude made some dumb comment about questioning my adulthood, so I told him it was dumb

and I told him not to get mad at the game

[nova sierra]

The post I replied to?

[paper turret]

I think if anything he was inappropriate

Its not mean, its english

[nova sierra]

Both of you weren’t friendly; he was just right and unfriendly so I was trying to help clear that up.

There you are with your not nice words again.

[paper turret]

No

There is nothing mean about that

[nova sierra]

There is.

[paper turret]

I think you're incorrect

[nova sierra]

Please have a read of the #🌠-rules-and-roles12 and especially the bit about being respectful of fellow commanders 👀

[paper turret]

There was nothing disrespectful about what I said homie

[nova sierra]

There was. The end. 😆

[paper turret]

go read a book

[steep socket]

If you are going to swap things in the faction stores… give a warning

[paper turret]

understand the language better

[steep socket]

Waste of 600k in coin

[nova sierra]

I am English. It is called English. I do English just fine 😉

[paper turret]

apparently not

[nova sierra]

Ouch.

[paper turret]

you seem over sensitive and just because I pointed out his comment was dumb doesn't make it mean

[steep socket]

When you play by muscle memory it is a 💩 thing to do

[paper turret]

It was a dumb comment to challenge someone's adulthood on the internet over something small like that. You can think its not all you want, lol. Doesn't make you right

[obsidian stratus]

I can’t collect alliance rewards. Does anyone else have this problem?

[craggy saddle]

Known issue, is being investigated

[obsidian stratus]

Thx

[tepid bramble]

Omg, folks cannot stand a simple call out. You were wailing about it, I asked how you got to adulthood without understanding how marketing works. YOU took it as an insult

That is on you pally

[paper turret]

I didn't wail, I made 3 little sentences, you didn't do a simple call out, you tried to insult someone. Ok, you didn't understand what you said, Sorry? Haha, its on you bro

you actually think you know what I was feeling when I typed that?

your further explanations just go to show you that you don't even understand the words you use

not only that you think you are smart enough to instantly figure out people's context of thought from a few lines of text

you must be some super telepathis genius

bravo

[tepid bramble]

What ev’s. I think you are acting like my 12 year old and that is my cue to bail on this one. 🤘

[paper turret]

I think its you who can't handle being told you're inappropriate

you keep trying to justify yourself

smh

[spare vapor]

I like this new fight banner, it feels a lot less intrusive

[fallow spire]

Game updated and restarted. Is anyone else having problems collecting alliance rewards? I keep pinwheeling, then it quits.

[craggy saddle]

Known issue, getting investigated

[fallow spire]

Thanks CR

[lethal zephyr]

I don’t know if you could have made SNW Pike much worse. Was the intent to have him be a useless character?

[zinc swan]

My two cents, requiring multphasic for a research is unacceptable.

[steep socket]

Absofrigggggginglutely unacceptable

[lime socket]

It’s a prime research, what did you expect…

[maiden pilot]

It's a prime...

[native adder]

Lots of games have pay-only features. Why should this one be any different?

[compact crescent]

Please for the love of Jebus...too many currencies

[twilit matrix]

Sounds like a “premium” research and a cute way for Scopely to limit the amount of free stuff you get for spending $$. Of course, it costs more multiphasic than you get for a $100 pack, so that’s annoying

[compact crescent]

New arc does need to = new currency

[olive nacelle]

6* materials………..so presumably there is now a 6* economy?
How about you fix the still completely ridiculous 4* one?? No? Thought not…..think I am about done with this merry go round.

[zinc swan]

Every other prime eventually has f2p paths to get. It may take a considerable amount of time, but I doubt multphasic will ever be a f2p resource. You also have to buy over $200 worth for it, a departure from other primes.

[lime socket]

Not all of them do

[compact crescent]

Ya...ditto man this , Ctrl+C Ctrl+V every month is getting old

[zinc swan]

Only the brand spanking new ones don't, and those scopely has a habit of eventually offering a f2p method for those resources (level 40 treasurey, scrapping, etc)

[lime socket]

Away teams doesn’t and it’s almost a year old now

[zinc swan]

It also doesn't require over 200 dollars in purchases

[lime socket]

So now we’re just haggling over the price 🤣

You don’t just get the multiphasics for $200, you’re also getting whatever pack you bought

[zinc swan]

This game already has high prices for premium items compared other similar games, why would I be okay with them starting the precedent of multiple purchases necessary for a single research AND the precedent of having to use their cash shop?

[rich elm]

$200 is a LOT for a mobile game, anything over $5 to buy pixels on a cell is way too much

[lime socket]

You know this game already has lots of $100 packs right? Ever took a look at how much even a g3 epic costs if you buy it for cash? That ship has long sailed.

[zinc swan]

I can style heavily object when they try to make it sail further from shore

Why are you even defending a terrible business practice...

[lime socket]

Sure. And I can voice my opinion of that objection too

Why are you even playing this game when you think they engage in terrible business practices 🤷‍♂️

[rich elm]

ferengi's would be ashamed of them 🙂

[zinc swan]

Just because I don't enjoy certain aspects doesn't mean I don't enjoy the game. I just don't want them to become even greedier

[nova sierra]

the multiphasics are given only via web store, so not all who buy will get it

[zinc swan]

To me, this crosses a line I would rather they didn't cross.

[lime socket]

Given that paid prime researches are only bought by people who spend money, this is effectively the cheapest paid prime research that exists, a freebie for people who buy packs as long as they do it on the web store. This is an extremely odd hill to die on if you’re complaining about the cost of the game for people who spend money on it.

[zinc swan]

My objection is mainly that the multphasic currency was originally pitched as a rewards program to incentivize spending on their platform so they didn't have to lose out on the % that Google play and company take from purchases. This is a departure from that idealogy

[nova sierra]

I frankly do not understand why a lower deck ability should come to the detriment of a captain one, the officer panel has space to show all 3 abilities

[lime socket]

How is it a departure? This is another incentive it looks like to me, you don’t just get special packs you can exchange your multiphasic credits for, now you get a special research too.

[solid beacon]

After the release today, can no longer cluck the toast pop that appears when scoring in an event... which used to take you to the event itself and you could immediately see progress. Clicking out of that took you right back where the score had happened. Can we get that back please?

[quartz nimbus]

La'an isn't lower dekcs on the show lol

she's bridge crew

also reginald barklay's a weird addition to the SNW show

err.. crew

like.. maybe Lt Kyle... or like.... anyone else

lol

I'm guessing Cadet Uhura/Chief Hemmer/M'Benga/Chaplain/Una are coming in the next arc? :V

or Ortegas. can't forget the pilot

[zinc swan]

It's not cheap either..... It's the equivalent of 13.4 multiphasic redemption which is the equivalent of:
64k Latinum
3765 common 3* mats
190 uncommon 3*
147 rare 3*
12823 common 4*
3538 uncommon 4*
1005 rare 4*
10411 common 4* ship parts
2706 uncommon 4* ship parts
389 rare 4* ship parts

That's pretty expensive imo.

[rotund mantle]

anyone having the problem of the holodeck not showing?

[nova sierra]

have you upgraded the game?

[rotund mantle]

on pc it should automatically do no?

[quartz nimbus]

La'An's skillset seems to fit Hemmer more

just sayin

[inner leaf]

Iam having same issue

[civic turret]

Can't collect rewards... typical Dopely.

[lime socket]

The “free” g4 primes you can get by scrapping cost in the neighborhood of 10k uc g3 and 2k rare g3 to build the ships for scrapping. If I compared that to pack prices for those materials that’s in the neighborhood of $1000, pretty expensive too.
If you’re buying packs anyway, this research is just one more alternative reward you can choose.

[rotund mantle]

i think it finally worked for me

go to setting on pc at launcher

and mark in "update game..."

and reset your game, seems like my update was faulty so it did not load in

[civic turret]

throw some more money at it... that'll fix it.

[zinc swan]

Yet it is still a free avenue to get those primes. This one does not have one. This one is the rough equivalent of a 4* ship pack, except you're forced to buy over $200 through a specific avenue to achieve it. The other "no f2p" primes usually give a considerable amount of resources/mats in addition. The major exception is the prime syndicate.

[karmic zodiac]

I thought the new building was 40+ players

[frozen frigate]

Awesome Job on the Enemy Hostile Display!!!! So glad that overlap is fixed!!!

[fast gulch]

Scopely just needs to throw in the

[civic turret]

La'an and lt Broccoli are proof dopely is clueless about Star Trek.

[zinc swan]

Also, the new currency has pushed messages off the board in the Faction Store... Do not like

[civic turret]

La'an is a bridge officer

[noble thicket]

New building - the Holodeck - is for players 15+. It's meant as a one-stop-shop for new players to access old misisons and old players to revisit missions they may have otherwise missed.

[nova sierra]

How do you get the part to build it

[fallen epoch]

Gift section. It’s being rolled out to all servers individually

[nova sierra]

Does server 45 have it yet

[fallen epoch]

US generally roll out later

[civic turret]

didn't fix this crap

[tawdry cave]

For the love of the prophets can you guys QA the last months bug fixed to see if you guys branched out your code properly before doing a major release!? Jezzz this game release process is a non sense ….

[tame spade]

I see it mentioned above, but I’m throwing in a few cents as well. I cannot claim rewards from alliance members.

And is the event store supposed to be blank?

Also yes, the blank daily events thing in the pic? I’ve had that happening all the time for a couple months now…

[fallen epoch]

Happens because the event store is blank and open.

[gleaming nebula]

Keeps hanging. My alliance members telling me i have 17 with my name

[tame spade]

Then the loading circle stops and nothing happens? Then you do it again? Same here

[gleaming nebula]

Yes

[gleaming nebula]

Thx 😉

[tame spade]

@tame spade

Was slow on that one 🤣🤣

[nova sierra]

Hehe😎😅😅

[past remnant]

Hey look at that, LV 19 and lower players are still getting short handed when it comes to daily missions again...

[sullen verge]

Well, I think I understand why so many people have been leaving the game recently. I've really been enjoying it for the last 3 years but this arc must be the least inspiring arc ever. Most of us wont have seen SNW until it's out on Netflix. The events look dull, the holodeck isn't particularly exciting. Rather than finish off the Lower Decks arc they've introduced yet more versions of Spock and Pike and introduced yet another currency to collect.

How about bring the old stuff up to date, polish off the content that needs refreshing and deliver something that players can actually get excited about?

No wonder the patch notes came out late - they were probably too scared to release them at all.

(Sorry for the gripe, I'm not normally a moaning mini, I'm just frustrated)

[past remnant]

How about giving La'an the dumbest abilities. Head of security on the Enterprise, was First officer... And she makes the warp speed faster, and a lower deck ability that improves protected cargo hold. Which has NOTHING to do with her character.

She's also "Unfit to lead"...

[shell root]

This is the same folks that made Rom a base cracker, so it's at least consistent.

[past remnant]

So we have, to recap the FAIL of Scopley: 1. Research "Store" addition 2. Doesn't-fit officer (Barcley) 3. Bad officer ability/position (Singh) 4. Useless rollout of Holodeck token 5. Problematic faction allegiance mechanic 6. Broken alliance gift claim That about cover it?

[sullen verge]

You forgot the joy of completing "past" missions all over again.

[nova sierra]

7. No need to post this everywhere but I still will

[nova sierra]

For newer players it’s a great feature really. I’ve done them all so I don’t care. But well

[solemn crow]

Cannot claim alliance rewards. Not working.

[craggy saddle]

Known issue, being investigated

[fallen epoch]

You know what I give up posting this screenshot 🤣🤣

[nova sierra]

😂

[fallen epoch]

Just checked. I posted it 15 times. And others have posted it 3 times

[signal yoke]

I hate the smaller print. These tired eyes hate it too.☹️😡🔥

[civic turret]

still haven't fix this crap

[frozen dust]

Make ‘em multicolored and they can claim it’s for Pride month, score points with the alphabet mafia.

[vernal jasper]

FINALLY! an arc mission chain the late g2 and early g3 players can complete. thank you! FINALLY.

[alpine siren]

Anyone else unable to click a button on the mission screen?

[fallen epoch]

Update your game. Your still on the old version

[weak tundra]

They removed the display of your scout message inventory from the faction store 🤬😡

[weak tundra]

My banners are all messed up with the new update

[slow nimbus]

You still need to pump up the economy some. You can’t give us tons of new stuff every month without reasonable ways to afford it. I’d be more excited by the new arc if I wasn’t already feeling buried in research I can’t do because of lack of dilithium, iso, service awards, etc. I’m no whale, but I spend a couple hundred a month and I’m on 24x7. I can’t even imagine what this is like for a casual, f2p player. I’m not looking to get everything in a few days from launch, but it is also depressing when I do the math and realize it may be a year or more before some things are obtainable.

[shell root]

Speaking as a f2p, all this content for 40+ is just super exciting for me for sure.

Can't wait to see it it another year or so.

[acoustic cloud]

isn't Dilithium free from people's bases?

[shell root]

It used to be. People just dont have it any more. But if you want steel, feel free to dig in.

[slow nimbus]

Lol, green, but yeah harder to find these days when you need billions and it's beyond 100 billion steel walls 😭

[sacred garden]

I have to say for the first time in a long while , I have truly enjoyed the addition of the holo deck and it’s missions so far. That’s saying something since I’ve been playing since the game came out 3 yrs ago

[hollow pike]

A chance to get some extra officer shards at least

[woeful talon]

So no more event press option? Not even on meaningful ones ?

Also it was the only way to see results of an event without opening others, maybe there should be an option to claim rewards without having to choose if to get in or not ...

Also. Nice minimal new design of icons and check boxes. But all this new design and still the internet reception icon is bulky and hiding a chunk of the screen if you want to read the event result or print screen to show.

Think about it 😅

[tepid valve]

Holodeck is underwhelming so far. But I like the additions to the Transporter Pattern Store and really like the extra Deep Space mat nodes 👍

[tepid valve]

So here a quality-of-life downgrade from the latest patch. In the Fac Store, I can no longer see how many Scout Messages I have saved up to exchange for Fac Creds. Have to look in Inventory now, ugh 😒

[high cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/ken-jeong-community-too-small-to-read-read-reading-gif-5494204

[solid comet]

I need to say that I am really disappointed with the star trek fleet command game as a whole, those responsible for it's production and continued pay to win money grab mechanics, and so many bugs that I don't think even the developers are able to keep track of it. I want to keep playing but I just can't

[steel cedar]

Y’all know it’s like $7-$8 a gallon for gas right? Like who is affording these packs? Can y’all stimulate this economy a bit??

[fiery dome]

Scopely really needs to add a complaint thread to this Discord LOL

[drowsy quiver]

They have...its most channels on here.

[fiery dome]

Oh I thought they were mostly for trolling 🤣

[hallow raft]

And they ignore them all 🤣

[brisk ibex]

@tacit obsidian

Curious when Scopley is going to address the bracket issue(s), especially the Daily SLB events.
-OP’s 28 - 50’s in the same bracket, so competition is more or less impossible / improbable for those lower.
-Rewards for OP’s 28 - 50’s are the same, meaning even if a lower OP’s wins is a Pyrrhic victory.
-Due the Above it’s challenging or nearly impossible (especially for mid-30’s) to recover from being drained multiple times as they will lack the resources to even repair expensive ships once they exhaust tokens.
-The above, and the fact a major reason / drive to compete daily is removed results in a massive loss of players post OP’s 28 killing off the player base. Heck, I’ve watched the population die off, server get merged and now the same player base OP’s wise has died off and another merger is rumored..

It’s seems pretty clear part of this is to encourage players to open their wallets, but the massive player loss that seems to occur with great frequency seems like it would be a bigger issue and this would be an issue way to address it

[nova sierra]

Rewards for 28-50 aren’t the same, that’s my biggest gripe with them. Brackets should be paired with reward brackets, competing for the same thing. If you’re not competing for the same thing, you shouldn’t be competing at all.

[brisk ibex]

For daily event brackets they are the same, look at the Research leaderboard up now

And if all brackets were an open pool the game would quickly loose the majority of its player base

[gloomy vale]

@ this channel and @tacit obsidian… players pls help to confirm the bug 🐞! 1703 xp stays the same! Research at Galaxy Tree . ✅ resolved docking the ship is needed before xp goes up.

[nova sierra]

The only person responsible for being looted though is the person being looted. That they can’t recover (I don’t buy this, I quit and drained everything including tokens and now have a reasonably healthy economy) is usually an effort or a help thing.

[nova sierra]

The rewards are not the same, I can assure you of this.

Ah it’s the XP/Lat board.

[brisk ibex]

The OP’s 28, mid thirties and high 40’s have compared the reward and it’s the same

[nova sierra]

Yeah this one’s rubbish, just skip it 😆

I do.

[polar basin]

For instance the 4* Ship SLB. It would be just unfair of me to compete with someone on Lvl 41. Therefore out of curtesy I stay out of it.

[brisk ibex]

I’m speaking only of the daily event boards, they are the bread and butter of competition

[nova sierra]

Focus on something you can win, and more importantly something worth winning.

This event is not worth winning.

[brisk ibex]

It’s not with an open pool, but below OP’s 28 it’s bracketed in a fairly reasonable well, just like most BP SLB’s are

[polar basin]

Some players crush those tiny events just for the sake of winning and therefore take it away from smaller players.

[nova sierra]

As you can see I have no intent of doing anything with it.

[nova sierra]

You attribute malice where there is likely none.

They win them by accident because they’re doing prime researches etc.

Number of people “won” Jelly auction when it wasn’t locking people who had a Jelly properly because they upgraded their G4 ship.

[polar basin]

Well I know the guys. OK sometimes this happens by accident. But often it is intent to win

[brisk ibex]

Agree alpha, I mean it’s discussed in AC, between players and alliances and in GC, some people win by accident, but the majority are actually competing on them

[nova sierra]

And the issue is? For a lot of the SLB events they’re actually competing for useful rewards.

It’s only the rubbish lat/XP ones I think are identical across the board

[brisk ibex]

Someone who’s advocating for open brackets for everything etc I don’t think would understand the perspective, but the majority of those who compete in them are trying

[polar basin]

As an example: the jelly blueprint event - there it is correct. people with jelly cant compete. The solution is therefore brackets where it is meaningful to compete

[brisk ibex]

And the bulk of the players who’ve left I’ve chatted with cite the lack of ways to compete and rebuild losses after a few drains in, due to RL, bugs or other things

[nova sierra]

I’m not advocating for open brackets; I’m advocating that where rewards differ there should be brackets. That this specific run of Research SLB (lat/XP) has trash rewards… just skip it like everything that has trash rewards 😆

[brisk ibex]

The daily events you refer to as trivial are for higher OP’s, because they are not bracketed and there for not properly scaled

[nova sierra]

They’re a remnant of a much smaller game…

When you had to buy Mayflowers with cash, and nothing else.

[polar basin]

Many people dont think and act like you and me @nova sierra - and the game design has to cater to give everyone some degree of chance

[brisk ibex]

I’d buy that excuse if they hadn’t adapted to higher OP’s for BP’s, but they have

[nova sierra]

There’s a load of stuff that they’ve left behind.

[nova sierra]

Yeah but if you’re not spending then SLB is not the place to be

[brisk ibex]

. (Sorry edited to add the reply, order broke)

Sorry should have quoted, lol

[polar basin]

? what logic is that. Anyways - I said what I think 😘 🖖

[brisk ibex]

But that’s the point, the Daily SLB should be where all players, including FTP and various P2W compete, and you can’t without brackets

[brisk ibex]

I won’t disagree with that, and those things also need to be addressed, but the core to help the non-cash based players is Daily events, and heck I know Dolphin class players who still quit because there came a point they decided it wasn’t worth throwing more money in

[nova sierra]

A spender will decimate anyone F2P regardless of brackets 😞

[brisk ibex]

Yes and no...
A spender doesn’t always spend in Daily SLB’s because they can, I’d wager they usually spend for BP’s and seriously rewarding SLB’s

[gloomy vale]

Docking the ship seems to be needed🤣💦

[nova sierra]

They’re not “spenders”, they’re “players”.

[brisk ibex]

Lol used your monicker

[nova sierra]

Those are all different screenshots.

Which one’s the spender and which are the players? 😆

26 gifts, 20 from one spender 😆

[brisk ibex]

I think we are getting lost in the weeds, original point for adding brackets to Daily SLB events post OP’s 27 (OP’s 28 onward)....
Heck the brackets already exist for most of the BP’s events, so not like it’s a challenge to figure out reasonable groupings

[nova sierra]

BP events are agreed and designed and issued out per BP

The daily ones just sit on a rotation, like a playlist on repeat.

They need work, but honestly, ignore anything that says SLB in there unless you whale.

[brisk ibex]

That’s part of my point, you shouldn’t have to, the daily events are how F2P can build up resources and have a chance to compete vs spenders in BP SLB’s (or atleast have a chance to place)

As you said, they are trivial for spenders...

[nova sierra]

Nahhhh, SMS better. SLB you spend resource suboptimally.

Focus on SMS to get resource, SLB when you have excess.

[brisk ibex]

That’s your play style, others used the daily SLB’s to bank resources for growth, or for fuel for BP SLB’s, pre-OP’s 28

[lime socket]

Those slb’s have terrible rewards yup. You could get more resources from being a bit more patient and completing a ton more sms events with what you’d have to blow for the slb.

[brisk ibex]

Again post OP’s 27, I agree, hence why they need to be scaled and bracketed

[nova sierra]

Pre27 too.

SLB is about scoring as much as possible, not scoring carefully.

[brisk ibex]

Many players disagree, and score carefully

Only spend when numbers are reasonable, or spend on a recruit, officer or ship board to bank for another board

[lime socket]

Even at ops 27, unless you can get 1st or 2nd, a single sms would give more rewards than the slb

[brisk ibex]

Have to disagree, by carefully spending when you can score in 3-5, or 6-10 you can net rewards worth a small expenditure

[lime socket]

Huh? It’s objective fact

[brisk ibex]

Drop 100k XP for one level on an officer to get a few million in resources

[lime socket]

If you’re hitting 3-5 you’re getting less than you would get from a six hour sms

https://stfc.space/events/62a01ea8eefff5ebbad39d2d

400 ultras for 3-5 in the research slb

You get over 800 in a research sms

And 100k officer xp? Your server must be almost dead.. you can’t even complete a 12h sms with 100k xp and that gets you a rank in the slb?

[brisk ibex]

Officer XP or Recruit boards not listed there, but Pre-28 with bracketed boards I’ve gotten 5th by spending 100k Officer XP which is trivial and netted needed resources

And as you grow the “trivial” amount changes, but spending X to get Y when you need Y is a valid way to spend

[lime socket]

I have never seen an officer xp leaderboard where 100k would place when I was around that level.

[brisk ibex]

Sure you can spend Officer XP on a SMS to get Steel, but never Trit for example, but on a SLB you can get both

Well, didn’t bother to screenshot as I never thought it would be relevant to a discussion, but pre-OP’s 28 the boards in my experience were more volatile, sometimes big spenders, sometimes not allot of competition

If someone drops a couple million XP on a board pre-28 instantly it would drive down competition overall for example

[lime socket]

And now that I’m ops 30+, it’s not just the whales who’re dumping tens of millions of xp, even players at my level or below will drop millions in there. If anything the SMS’s have too low milestones: I have almost no officers where I can spend less than 500k xp unless I promoted a common or something, and the sms is only 360k or so.

[nova sierra]

This too. Most my officers now want 1.5M

[brisk ibex]

Every player is different, I know quite a few like me who only promote or level for events, and then only enough to win or complete a SMS

I’ve got over 70 officers waiting to be promoted and another 15 at various XP levels to spend for events

[lime socket]

https://stfc.space/events/629b8160eefff5ebba811009
Plus this really doesn’t look like that much tritanium, 2.4m for rank 1 at ops 24-27. While it’s a different event, the 6h recruit sms gives 6m trit at that ops.

[brisk ibex]

It’s not allot but the little wins add up, and the SMS’s and SLB’s line up sometimes, perfectly, complete one and place in the other

[past ruin]

I constructed the hilo deck in the mission,but the holodeck don’t appear in my station.why?

[brisk ibex]

And even if you are just talking 1st and 2nd place, and nothing else being worth even glancing at, there is a chance when it’s bracket, pre-28

[nova sierra]

But on a research SLB? You’re spending G3 to get G3.

Or in this case, spending G3 to get very little useful.

[brisk ibex]

Update and restart? Worked for a couple in my alliance

[brisk ibex]

But what about if you’ve already spent the G3 and waited to claim until the next research board, and the other research you’ve plotted only takes Dilithium?

I spend G3 for OP’s and Research on Spend boards, and wait to claim until another board, etc, it’s a patience game

[nova sierra]

Research that takes only dilithium isn’t scoring you strongly for an SLB.

[brisk ibex]

In a bracketed board it would, that’s the point

[nova sierra]

It wouldn’t though.

You think these brackets will save the day, you’ll just get annihilated by a hoarder or a spender at your level.

That’s the point we’re making.

The people that win these aren’t always the Lv50+, but they’re always spenders.

[brisk ibex]

You can do exactly that, I’ve crushed spenders by carefully expending when it mattered, or let them duke it out on the first recruit and expend on the second, and I’ve gotten the “fan mail” that comes after

[nova sierra]

If you sit, and wait, and maybe build up a stock, and maybe then have a couple of Lv26 ships scrapped for free primes…

[brisk ibex]

And had gotten the resources by carefully spending on SLB’s before that

[nova sierra]

Your server sounds inactive.

[brisk ibex]

We’ve had very different experiences playing the game, to some, I’d wager many, the daily SLB’s were worth it pre-28, and become meaningless after

[nova sierra]

Ours is still debating whether to participate or not 😆

[nova sierra]

There’s a lot that becomes meaningless after 28. Treat it as such and move on. The rewards are absolutely not worth it, not at 28, not at 50.

That’s a day’s worth of Feesha lat, and an hour in Ty’Gokor.

[brisk ibex]

Again the original point is it doesn’t have to be meaningless, and pre-28 what is trivial to some becomes strategic wins to others, different play styles... and having the 28-49 Daily SLB’s (and sometimes BP events) are meaningless and shouldn’t be

[nova sierra]

But then you’re not asking for brackets, because even bracketed that reward just ain’t worth it. You’re asking to replace the whole event.

That’s what needs to happen.

Not some sticking plaster bracketing that still leaves you with rubbish rewards you won’t win 😅

[brisk ibex]

Again to you the reward aren’t worth it, but to others they were

[nova sierra]

To everyone they are not.

The rewards do not reflect the amount that has to go in to get that out.

[lavish solar]

Hi @tacit obsidian, how are you?? The new arc has brought some nice visual changes but no gameplay changes. Also, I wasn't able to find any related info on the work-in-progress changes

So, is there any ETA on the requested gameplay changes (refinery outcome increase, X Chest increase with player power, PVP rebalance (should be -5/+5 of player level),....)

Not sure if this has been already mentioned by someone else but the event planning is terrible because:

new arc has brought the Laboratory Expert - SLB, which is a research event. I day ago there was the burnham/harrison event which was a research/build event.
On the second one I have spent all my speedups along with 60k lat so having another research just after.....
The same pattern is seen with armadas, recruit officers...why?? I do not think there is a sudden increase in package acquisition and only generates frustration from player side..

In the end, refinery should have most priority to fix - a simple calculation (need 2200 unc mat for one weapon ship upgrade, get 14 from refinery/day (not guaranteed) and luckily have event that gives another 36 unc mat, total 50 unc/day). So, I will have the required amount in 44 days, assuming I don't start any build or research.

Game should have long term playability but I don't want to leave my acc to my kids with instructions to play and how to upgrade ships...

Looking forward to your reply.

[nova sierra]

The lat doesn’t cover anything like enough speedups, the officer XP is mediocre at best.

[nova sierra]

Harrison/Burnham was a Ship XP event. What level ops are you that you only get 14 from your refinery?

[brisk ibex]

I don’t think we will agree on this point, but you can’t say “everyone” when someone is disagreeing with you right now.

[nova sierra]

Many disagree for the sake of disagreeing, or disagree because they refuse to see the wider picture because of a narrow set of circumstances.

[lavish solar]

No, it wasn't, talking about the rank one

[nova sierra]

I can guarantee you if they nailed brackets in tomorrow, people would be here complaining it didn’t solve any problems because it’s “not fair F2P and P2W are in the same bracket”.

[nova sierra]

That was ship XP too.

The scores involved, they were ship XP.

5 levels of Feesha got me 45M points.

Those who whaled their Feesha got 250M points.

[lavish solar]

lvl 36, mostly get no unc or the lowest, 2 or 3 chests..

[brisk ibex]

But we are talking about a narrow set of circumstances, bracketed Daily SLB’s and targeted spending to win, and it not being reasonably possible with an OP’s 28 -49 bracket

[lavish solar]

I don't think we are talking about the same event - went from 35 to 36, done most of the important buildings, spent all speedups on research and was rank 38, if I remember correctly

[nova sierra]

The event is for people who are buying the primes. You gotta do 17 researches per prime to catch up with those buying the primes.

Those people buying the primes, they’re also doing other researches… it’s just not one to play without buying primes.

[tender idol]

Just wanting to get something confirmed - the new faction chests are supposed to reset daily once you’ve claimed the first one, is that daily as in from when the arc missions are counted or daily as in calendar daily? If it’s the first one then I’d suggest that @tacit obsidian needs to reword the game announcement in regards to this as it’s really not clear as to which it is and it’s going to result in confusion

[nova sierra]

Which new faction chests do you mean sorry, the Faction Allegiance stuff?

[nova sierra]

I can only reinforce that F2P or low spending you are wasting resource chasing daily SLB. The rewards just are not worth it and bracketing won’t change that. Save it for the good events 👍🏻

You may feel like you’re winning, but you’re costing yourself wins or better places in more meaningful events.

The SLBs need completely replacing, with brackets, and rewards commensurate with the investment that goes into them.

Sticking brackets on what is there currently solves nothing because it won’t change the majority view that you’re wasting good points on bad rewards, just so you can hold a screenshot up and say “I won”.

A longer feeling of satisfaction will come from having T2 Harrison, or stuff like that.

[hollow smelt]

Is there going to be event details in the news like we got in previous arc? It helps planning when to focus spend/using limited stuff we have.

[nova sierra]

Hopefully so. I believe so 😅

[brisk ibex]

Wait, why disagree my overall point regarding SLB’s needing brackets if you agree with that, and just dispute their value?
It seems like allot of back and forth when your main dispute boils down to if the reward is currently worth it

[nova sierra]

The reward is not. Putting brackets on current events fixes nothing. That is what I dispute. The event needs a complete, ground up replacement.

Chucking brackets on it will just change who you lose to for the same pointless rewards.

[brisk ibex]

It would change them from completely meaningless to mostly meaningless, lol

[nova sierra]

Totally meaningless both ways.

A research of any use costs me 200k Iso-emulsion, or thousands of uncommon G4 or G3.

Now, I know I’m not getting that back, but for 4500 lat?

[brisk ibex]

Still can’t agree there, spending a “small” amount of Ship XP to finish off an envoy to scrap and net a win on a SLB’s hasn’t cost me another board, pre-28 of course, but we are talking about narrow circumstances

[tender idol]

That’s the one, sorry, used the wrong name, i read the announcement and it confused me as to me it makes it sound like they should reset when my dailies reset (ie around 4am my time) rather than when the events/arc missions reset (around 5pm my time) so I’m just wanting to make sure I understand it right and I’m probably not going to be the only person that’s gotten confused by the announcement

[brisk ibex]

But I agree overall the rewards need to be better scaled

[nova sierra]

If you can win one with a scrapped Envoy, your server is dead. I could scrap three Mayflowers, a D3 and a Legionary and still lose.

[brisk ibex]

We are talking about open brackets vs scaled

[nova sierra]

And place behind the Lv28 and 29 in our alliance 😆

[nova sierra]

Personally agree it’s ambiguous. From what I can tell they should be part of your daily goals once ops40+, they’re currently just broken 😅

[nova sierra]

Ok, so, the theory goes that you buy the faction “thingy” from the store with your gifted 7 faction allegiance rewards, and at daily goal reset you got a new daily goal rewarding one.

You do that for seven instances, voila, you can buy the box again and repeat.

Unfortunately it’s not working. Update when we know more 😆

[tender idol]

Oh dear, why am I not suprised that something new in the game isn’t working properly

Wait for the obligatory “compensation” chest

[nova sierra]

It will contain 2 speedups and an officer shard no one needs 😂

[nova sierra]

Yeah, that and the slightly ambiguous wording of the “event” and the “goals” in the announcement were hard work this morning, but a super nice Dev at an ungodly hour sorted our understanding and said it would be looked at 👍🏻

[lament scroll]

In the holodeck is there a way actually telling what the mission is you will get?

[lime socket]

It is the same event, the people who won, they spent ship xp, they didn’t do hundreds of researches.

[lofty wharf]

@tacit obsidian with some delay the new faction allegiance daily occurred. But with empty rewards. Can somebody look into it?

[nova sierra]

The team is aware and looking into it

[jolly elbow]

Hi all, was politely told buy my “ticketed advisor” I was to look thru here an ask questions, again, is there any news on alliance gift chests being able to be claimed by said alliances as a lot having trouble…n no. Getting higher from what I have seen n heard🙏🏼👍😂

[stable matrix]

This is good trouble even all latnium

@everyone Aliance rewards, refine 4*, latnium, conc lat not working somebody fix it

[narrow bridge]

@tacit obsidian the new faction allegience was really badly explained. I am L43 and Respected with Fed, Admired with Klingon and Champion with Roms. As I am building Klingon rep, i am not doing any Rom dailies or events but collected the Rom one from faction store as I wanted the Rom credits as still want to build those for L46 faction ship. But do I now have to complete the Rom allegience event for 7 days before I can switch to Klingon?

[zealous quiver]

where is the reward for the daily task "Rlingon Allegiance"?

[nova sierra]

Yes

We don’t know what the rewards are yet though. Might not include any rep. We’ll have to wait and see

[narrow bridge]

That sucks. Guess I will need to kill 28 Fed traders in Sol and wait for the painfully slow spawn rate!

[faint ridge]

Also not scoring correctly. I've done my daily hunt, 25 lvl 48s, and only scored 12 points in new daily.

Only needed lvl 45s for new daily

[weak heart]

I bet if the buttons in the offers tab were broken, it would be fixed in 5 minutes

[nova sierra]

My advice would be do not do it.

[analog dagger]

Probably the best advice anyone can give is to delete the app and move on

[lofty wharf]

You could go shooting FED hostile instead. That does not negatively affect KLN reputation.

[torn elk]

Concentrated latinum and G4 refining are broken, all holodeck missions are showing as claimable at no cost but purchases fail to go through. Waiting for my repair buttons to vanish next

[narrow bridge]

Yes Fed traders in Sol. Or think Jelly may be able to reach some Fed systems with L45 hostiles. But building Klingon rep for Ktinga then hunting in deep space will be easier.

[weak grove]

!?

[lofty wharf]

You could use the disco to reach L45 systems and summon the jelly if it does not reach there on its own...

[hollow pilot]

Can’t claim rewards in alliance store when someone buys something all frozen , can’t refine concentrate Latium no buttons. Please fix thank you

[analog dagger]

If the store was broken....we would've been in emergency maintenance. Started with 1 issue yesterday...now it's what..4? Go to emergency maintenance please...and while your there...delete that money grab research that was added and adjust the research we've already done to account for all grades of mat and ship types.

Your primary investors (whales) are quitting....

[narrow bridge]

Thx. Disco is only 85 at moment as not done R&D to L43 yet which unlocks research which will add another 25 taking it to 110. Jelly is warp 95 so can get to New Canberra with 45 hostiles in.

[analog dagger]

Like a reputable business would've done

[rocky raptor]

Kick me from this server if you want but admin please let scopely know that the community is pissed off. Just look at the numbers, I've seen multiple big players leave the game from my server..

Absolute toss

[viscid shell]

Expect Compensating Chest with like ... let's say one Shard SNW Pike and one Shard SNW Spock.

[rocky raptor]

50k parasteel

And not even a reach around

[viscid shell]

Probably sth like this, yes @rocky raptor . Me whaling at OPS52 always making a joy dance for every 2500 Tritanium I get in the 24h chest.

[fair drum]

I have two words "Beta Test" before releasing updates

[rocky raptor]

I wonder if they will ever look at the 10m 4h and 24h chests and the generators?!

[nova sierra]

i just dont get it. Why after each update there are so many issue..missing buttons, translations, crashes..now new alicance daily objective did not provide me any reward..can you please start test it before release? if you need help with that, drop me a PM and i will explain how to do QA. thank you

[fair drum]

The 500 dili in the 10m makes all the difference at ops 49....... ok sarcasm starts....😂

[rocky raptor]

It's a joke

[viscid shell]

If these were all "hard to find" bugs ... most of them you literally expose after playing the game for like 5 minutes. This is what blows my mind and simply can't follow the thought process inherent to their installed quality system.

[fair drum]

They should have beta tested the June arc in April and May would have been the time for bug fixing

[rocky raptor]

Are there any missing buttons? Check
Do the new buildings work as intended? Check.

[nova sierra]

well to be objective it is not as easy as you say. Mostly because they need to do integration tests between backend and client. they should do also E2E build test at the end. Considering complexity of the game, these tests woule need to start days before release or to be fully automated, which requires strategy, investments and lot of skill..and here we hit the root cause of the issues. They use start up method - do build, release testers, fix whatever we can and then release backend and hope it works..it does not.

[dire orchid]

If I would perform a quality check job like Scopely does, I would be sacked. I really “enjoy” the crashes, freezes and lost content every two minutes. Do you guys use garden tools to build an app? 🐵💩

[viscid shell]

I I work myself in that industry of SW DEV, being well aware what is truly necessary to operate on an efficient level. Still I say my point is valid: If ANY player can find obvious stuff after a few minutes, a lot of stuff has to wrong prior to this.

[nova sierra]

yep, it is valid for sure, some bugs happening are really st*pid and if anyone would at least try to test, they would find them. One situation which may be is that they found it but someone decided not to fix before release, but do back end fix later. That would be typical.

[viscid shell]

Most probably what happens here all the day, also with those stock holders in their back shouting "the shop has to run!" @nova sierra .

[nova sierra]

yes, that is right, no matter what, release store and the rest will be fixed later. As I am playing over 2 years, it is sad to see how the standards of Scoply dropped significantly.

[torn crater]

Store is not as it should be as well. shared_single_value instead of actual costs.

[hollow pilot]

Can’t claim gifts rebooted several times still not working

[shell root]

See #⚡-mod-announcements. Known issue

[ripe thicket]

Can we get 4* lucrative nodes for borgs please. There are 4* nodes in TC, why not also add them for borg turn in's as well?

[wide marsh]

eh... Just get rid of lucrative nodes. Just a waste cause someone will take it all from you.

[nova sierra]

No, I get rich from those.

[tribal cloud]

Is there any ETA on the fix for claiming alliance rewards?

[fringe gust]

☝️

Up to 85 to claim

[neat cave]

in all of you recent releases you've claimed that you've spent so much time in new officers and more importantly the availability of being able to recruit these officers either by hook or crook. You've created the Discovery crew Special to get more shards for the Discovery crew. You've relented in adding new officers to the Ultra Recruit pack... even giving us new transporter patterns to choose from, but you have made absolutely NO EFFORT in updating the Premium Recruit, Standard recruit or adding to the same 7 officers that are in each of the faction recruits. WHY?

[nova sierra]

Because adding to the standard recruit and premium recruit would make a bad job even worse (maxing Chen) and the faction recruits are great as they are because they’re a great source of important officers (Gorkon/Nero/Kirk) until they’re then a great source of transport patterns.

What we need is a mechanism to source the new officers that doesn’t right royally shaft the mechanism that gets you the old ones.

[neat cave]

like the sachet of gold? That was a really great deal! either use the existing mechanisms to develop them more or get rid of em.

[neat cave]

and i dont disagree... just want them to be consistent.

[atomic oar]

Scopely is the Parent Org. the Devs are at Digit, located in Irland, which had a top grossing game before STFC called KingsOfTheRealm which they toasted at the end. these Devs maybe well over their heads with this game.Scopely needs to look at these issues and maybe get new Devs

[brave basin]

Allance rewards u can't collect no more what r people doing at scopely

[tribal bane]

Really?!!! Does anyone look at the changes you make?! I would be canned working in advertising on creative if I let this through

No one obviously asked for character counts for available messages in the banned and provided those to dev

[tepid valve]

I’d like to see an Independent Allegiance chest in the Rogue Fac Store. One that give Independent Creds and Rodinium when purchased. And for the new Daily, just farm some Eclipse Hostiles

[nova sierra]

watching scopely work is like watching a kid with zero agility try to ride a bike for the first time

Well as much as we are all moaning.. we all keep playing

[shell root]

And people keep spending, which is the benchmark scopely uses for success, so . . .

[nova sierra]

I know…

[upper galleon]

Is this an Arc people asked for? How many of the same character do we need in this game? How about giving the Hijacked Ships permenant value instead of temporary event value.

I took a semi-break from the game because the ferengi arcs, the bs dry dock, and the general trash content this year. Half of the year is over and it isn't looking good. I am upping the odds of the game folding in 2023.

[shell root]

Arc content is heavily influenced by the license owners at paramount/cbs to allow for cross branding and subscription boosts to their streaming counts.

I stopped playing Timelines because it got pretty boring, but you could see similar pushes of characters, etc. around the same time frames on their platform too.

[upper galleon]

Just confirming for everyone that there is less concern for the players and game play.

[river otter]

Server 69 is down, anyone else able to log in now?

[fluid glen]

Y’all should really give packs everytime there is a server disruption

Given that everything else costs an arm and a leg

[nova sierra]

I'm glad that the only thing that works in the game are purchase of packs.

[outer moth]

way to go scopely for making servers crash because you its a good idea to put a quiz on and the answer to that quiz is for every player on a sever to head to 1 system instead of spreading it across the how space

[past remnant]

Sever 69 just crashed.

[dim hemlock]

Another epic fail. Congratulations on your impending bankruptcy Scopely 👏👏👏👏👏

[desert bough]

This Academy Crash Course event is so dumb! You give us 1 system where an entire server has to chase hostiles in order to score? Get real Scopely!!!!!

[brazen prism]

scopely and event, making in one zone the hostile grinding event.. 100000000 bil ships

[nova sierra]

i've got a brilliant suggestion! next time, don't just send everyone to the same system...send them to the same dilithium node, and i mean ONE specific node and make us mine 150,000,000,000,001 dilithium EACH, in a 24 hour period... Oh, and make the coords for that node one of those coded things that the world's most brilliant minds would struggle to solve.

[brazen prism]

that is an impossible task more than 100000 billion players are fighting for every ship. think more than 80% of the server cannot do it

There aren't that many mob ships, massive lags

who make this have take something

Re: Regurgitating Officers
I was thinking the same thing...

How many Pikes' do we really need in this game?

[meager sun]

Server 78 just went offline suddenly

[agile kelp]

And alliance rewards still not fixed

[ivory maple]

@tacit obsidian Apparently multiple servers are down to a server outage or something? At least that’s what I’m hearing. I think it would be beneficial to make an official/game announcement even if details are sparse. I’d rather hear it from official sources than rumors on other platforms.

I can’t log on so it checks out.

[quick coral]

@tacit obsidian Game is so broken. Can't do anything.

Don't worry though, it is up to scopely standards.

[meager sun]

78 is back online now... let's see how long this lasts

[past remnant]

Checked and I could log in... Sadly can't do anything, and NPCs aren't evening moving.

[meager sun]

odd, red ships are moving on my end

[past remnant]

I'm on server 69.

[meager sun]

oh.

[past remnant]

It might be recovering. closing the game and will try again in 10mins

[soft sundial]

During playing this game i never saw such a silly event......congrats bugley.....good work
👍

[past remnant]

Server 69 is working, but any NPCs that were loaded before the crash don't move. When new ones load in, they work.

[trail garnet]

@tacit obsidian you guys really expect the whole server to kill 40 hostiles in one system? Really? So short sighted

[hallow raft]

Looks like it turned into a pvp event, you gotta kill other players to get a hostile 🤣

[dreamy hawk]

Any improvement on a fix for the alliance rewards?

[rocky radish]

Cant even get into rainford game crashes the minute I enter because of too many ships. So stupid to make everyone go to one system #USELESS

[golden snow]

SCopley hasnt said a word today

[past remnant]

That's because they know when they do, we'll know they're at the keyboard... Then the real roasting will happen.

[golden snow]

I would of been fine if it was just boring.

they added more layers of paywall

[solid comet]

on an unrelated note, why is it that words like a$$ and pi$$ed get censored in chat, but mission text contains those words?

[reef torrent]

So much chaos. What's the outlook on the alliance gifts? Surely there's a patch that should be coming soon with compensation.

[nova sierra]

Amazing...still not working refinery for 4g and lat

[vale wasp]

You should reboot your device, they've been fixed for hours

[chrome vortex]

When will the bugs be fixed specifically the alliance reward chest? Are you just going to have to shut down the game because it's so broken? @tacit obsidian

[nova sierra]

Alliance rewards fix eta later this week.

[chrome vortex]

Will it break under the load because so much is backed up?

[nova sierra]

No, something is broken, and they’re working on it.

[gritty barn]

I, along with several others, cannot claim Alliance Rewards. Buttons are there but don't work. Clicking Claim All throws it into retrieval mode. Nothing ever happens. I've reloaded the game multiple times without success.

[chrome vortex]

That is the known problem I'm asking about a status.

[umbral wren]

The status is they are "looking into it" while making more problems and frustrating their players more and more

[tight rivet]

"They're working on it"= Furiously googling "how to code" and "what is quality control"

[nova sierra]

How many immediate and urgent problems have been raised? Only so much can be done at once. It really doesn’t help going into this with a massive pile of issues but people squealing like they’ve been murdered because they can’t claim 5 minute speedups off the whales spending isn’t making prioritising easy 😆

Big pile of problems, some new mechanics which always leads to some fun… coulda been a lot better yesterday 😆 but the team are aware of everything as we’re bringing it up with them, as are the mods, and they’re trying to get through everything.

[tight rivet]

Yes yes, you're so right. We should be so grateful and patient for them to fix bugs that really shouldn't exist in the first place because they can't be bothered to care about pesky details like getting it right to begin with.

[nova sierra]

Give standard recruit tokens

[nova sierra]

Didn’t say grateful, but patient would be nice. Nobody here wants to be in this situation, everyone wants it working right and everyone would have liked it that way yesterday. Throwing tantrums, putting insulting reactions and being insulting isn’t helpful. 👍🏻

[umbral wren]

So why are you doing that?

[nova sierra]

Doing what?

[umbral wren]

Throwing tantrums... Being insulting Lol

[nova sierra]

I’m really puzzled.

I’ve spent all day trying to collate issues so we can feed them back, make sure they’re tracked, make sure people know that Scopely are aware of issues.

[umbral wren]

You are doing what you say isn't helpful... Not much to be puzzledabout lol

[nova sierra]

Putting lol after statements doesn’t make them funny; HTH 🙏🏻

[umbral wren]

No,, the lol is to let you know I'm laughing not to say the statement is funny... Your statements are what is funny lol

[nova sierra]

I’ve not said anyone can’t code, I’ve not put a middle finger to a mod posting an update…

Everyone here is frustrated with the situation we find ourselves in. It doesn’t mean we can’t use our nice words to respectfully convey that.

I myself am so frustrated that I’ve logged in to do as much as I have to do to validate anything that’s been reported, then sought something else to do. I’ve passed that frustration on, and that which I see here too.

[brave portal]

Alliance gift bug isn't just not allowing us to claim, but duplicating.

[nova sierra]

But some of the reactions, comments, and vitriol directed at people isn’t warranted. People on the other end of the internet are still people.

[nova sierra]

You able to make screenshots of that/what you mean with that?

I’ve tried to claim ours a few times in vain hope but I’ve had 26 since this morning.

[brave portal]

I.E. up to 17 gifts, most from the same player, but he's not been purchasing anything.

[nova sierra]

Ah; that might be an old bug that shows all/a good chunk of purchases from the same player. Also not fun, although hides whaling from my team 🤣

Will stick it on the list.

[umbral wren]

The whole alliance gift thing should be scrapped, or made anonymous

[nova sierra]

The amount of squealing that people can’t claim their five minute speedups says that some seem to rely on it 😆

[umbral wren]

No, it shows people rely on the indicators to mean something

That red number is annoying and needs to be cleared

[nova sierra]

Nothing useful in that section from notifications 👀

But yeah it’s annoying that there’s stuff there. Not enough to throw the rage around that there is, but it’s annoying.

ETA is later this week.

[umbral wren]

It is useful at times for armadas going,

[tight rivet]

Your efforts are appreciated and yes people are people and grace is deserved. That said, how much grace can be given before enough is enough? To continually mess up without any signs of improvement is a choice. Scopely seems, at this point, completely unwilling to listen or make fundamental changes to how it works. And many are rightfully frustrated and upset. Your statements, while meant with good intentions, come across as condescending and apologist. I'm sure mine come across as mean and sarcastic.

[icy summit]

I'm pretty sure at this point it's compounding rage. So many things are not working properly, or have unwanted side effects. It's all adding up.

[nova sierra]

Grace, decency and respect to people working to resolve issues should be infinite. It is for people’s line management to decide “they should be fired”, not someone judging a small part of it from the other side of the world. You and I would be veeeeery upset if someone decided we should be sacked based on a snapshot of work that may or may be nothing in our control.

The frustration is completely understandable, and entirely earned by these issues.

But… do it nicer is my ask.

[umbral wren]

How do you know they are working to resolve issues.... I think they may be working to make more issues lol

[nova sierra]

Because we’re talking to them 👀

[blissful delta]

Put a Data pack in the store. You're using his image to sell the event. Sell the shards.

[umbral wren]

I talk to a lot of people who say they are working to make things better, while they are actively working to make things worse or are not working so.... Nope that doesn't mean they are working to make it better

[tight rivet]

While we may be upset, the fact is that's exactly how things happen. Customers get upset and complain and people get the sack. Happens all the time. And I disagree that our tolerance for what very clearly is a pattern of incompetence and indifference should be infinite. If anything I'm calling for the ouster of those bosses who obviously are driving these issues. I've worked with devs for decades and this team is either 1) not being allowed to do their job to the quality they want or 2) are incompetent

[nova sierra]

Or 3) managing a massively complex product that has been pulled in seventy different directions. 😆

[icy summit]

I do believe they're trying to make things better. Not to brush off what's happening, but i wouldn't be surprised if there's no one (left) with intimate knowledge of the original code base.

[tight rivet]

Perhaps. But even that suggests that lack of leadership is the root issue

[nova sierra]

Happens very regularly. My job we have a couple of products that we lost our last skilled dev in 10 years ago.

[trail garnet]

Now an hour down the road and Raddan and Lydan are still not scoring on my server.

This is getting to be multiple screw up each day. Getting worse and not getting better.

Don't have yesterday's screw up fixed. Don't have today's screw up fixed. What will tomorrow be and how long do these screwups stretch out to add to the other active non fixes.

Getting really hard to play this game when we can't miss anything and yet they do.

[nova sierra]

They can’t get it off a 32-bit OS because they don’t know how it works. Which means they can’t put it on anything supported.

Not saying that’s what’s happened here, but when this started vs how it is now, it’s scale is significantly different.

[icy summit]

Yep, same thing at a couple of places I worked at.

[nova sierra]

The guys I speak to, the few that we’re allowed near, they are all exceptionally helpful, working hard to make all of this better.

I can’t speak for people I don’t engage with, but nobody on here I talk to wants anyone to have these issues.

[nova sierra]

I’ve just tested, Raddan worked for me, Lydan did not.

Eco is aware and that information has been passed on.

[nova sierra]

Lydan just started working for me.

[trail garnet]

This is on the heals oof the event last month. "Don't miss one thing if you want the officer for free". Yet they could not get the event correct. Now the next completionist event is just started and they have made how many mistakes? I have not even looked yet to see the expectation of us. Do we have to complete every one? Not sure. But how does scopely expect us as paying customers to be more accurate than the are? We are 4 hours into events before they work? They are often late launching them. They swap out prizes without notice. Compensation chests are a joke.

Three plus years in and steadily worse and worse.

[nova sierra]

No real disagreement

I’ve raised my concerns and grievances, which include massive quantities of the ones repeated here ad infinitum, and I will continue to push to make sure we either fix the issues or don’t repeat mistakes.

I only have little power though.

All I can do is shout louder in a smaller room.

And try and use my nicer words 😆

[blazing folio]

Is there a reason why in the Rogue Store the Outlaw Transwarp Cell and the Directives/Rep/Credits chests have switched places?

[nova sierra]

To get you to drop 600k on a transwarp cell before squealing that that isn’t what you wanted? 😆

[blazing folio]

Right? It really feels like premeditated maliciousness

[true zealot]

On the positive side. Props for 3 of 11, Tos kirk and Riker...finally some useful Transporter officers

[nova sierra]

Yes. Love this. TPs is a good place to have epics.

[true zealot]

I was like zomg iss jelly bps....

[nova sierra]

Stop putting them in Ultras, when we’ve maxed what’s in there we can haul them in TPs

[runic flax]

What's the problem with the alliance gifts

[vale wasp]

They're bugged, will be fixed later this week

[slate orbit]

@tacit obsidian this would be a great time for a compensatory gift to show the entire player base you do care and you understand they were all effected by the patch and the event mistakes and mishaps. And to show some appreciation for the entire player base that is not leaving due to issues like this. just a thought.

[craggy egret]

Why the huge discrepancy in cost for the same thing?

[trail garnet]

Asked that of customer service over a year ago when I was that size. "Working as intended" response was given.

[nova sierra]

Cos it’s not the same thing.

Drydock D =/= Drydock E

[fallen epoch]

It’s the same logic as Dock E using G2 uc to be built in the first place

[nova sierra]

They’ve always had slightly different requirements.

[glossy night]

I have a suggestion: A station "Boneyard".

In a game like this, players will leave, for this reason or that. Some of them just need a break, some will find early on this game isn't for them, some will quit the game for good, and (unfortunately) some will die. I have seen all four - and on multiple occasions - in the nearly two years I've played this game. This has led to a quickly growing problem of "dead" stations taking up valuable space in the game. Territory systems, Rogue space, and certain other systems where there are a very limited number of available station slots are all affected. Some systems have so many abandoned stations, it's just plain depressing.

I propose the following:

1. Open up a "Boneyard" section of the Galaxy, and have it inaccessible to normal game play.
2. Abandoned stations may remain at their present location for a finite period of time (say, 90 days).
3. Players who return to the game within 90 days will be allowed to play, as normal.
4. If a player fails to return to the game within 60 days, an email goes out, advising that player's station will be moved in 30 days. Similar emails will follow with 14, seven, and three days' notice, culminating in a final 24-hour notice.
5. If, after 90 days, the player has not returned, his/her station is automatically moved to the Boneyard for one year. An email advising of this move will be sent to the player.
6. If the player returns to the game while the station is in the Boneyard, he/she may use a Relocation Token to do so (One can be provided upon request, if necessary).
7. If, after 11 months, the player has not returned, a string of notices (similar to #4 above) will be emailed, advising of his/her station's permanent deletion.
8. If, 24 hours after the final notice, the player still has not returned, the station will be deleted from the game.

This idea will open up the game to new players, and welcome back those who had walked away, without cluttering up valuable system slots.

[mild kestrel]

BTW Scopely, thank you for the improved event/victory banners. They are ENORMOUSLY better.
Now if you'd just integrate mission kill progress counters into that new banner system as well...?

[warm plover]

You know the funny thing is, as small a problem as alliance gifts chest are, if Scopely couldn’t collect the money from the packs they’ve sold until the alliance gift chests could be claimed that 💩 woulda been fixed in 8 minutes flat.

[potent hedge]

Ops 54 player here.

Just uninstalled the game. Enough is most certainly enough.

Can you fix this alliance awards chest issue like yesterday, the silence on this is annoying AF

[wind vortex]

Gotta get me one of them tropohys.

[warm bane]

The whole game has issues, small ones and big ones that make the game severely frustrating. Could I be more specific, try to log on, try to go to dailies, go to the daily events and try to get out and back in

When will this alliance chest issue be fixed though? I’ve got over 50 in mine waiting to be opened. I heard there was a 99 alliance sheet cap. Ours will pass that in the next day or so.

Can I also make a little suggestion…let’s get rid of all the bugs we have already before doing the big June rollout?

Or not?

[stiff parcel]

I’m a dolphin in this game. And it’s disappointing Scopley doesn’t give two fs about rolling out a good product for their most anticipated event. I’m with @weak marten. This rollout has been trash. And the simple thing about alliance chests has made it further trash.

[full python]

I really need to start a podcast on the day in the life of player on server 16. Anyone who knows the Chip Chipperson podacast would tune into mine. I am sure most of the servers have the same issues. A couple dbag players that cause chaos while the majority just mine like sheep and the minority just want to pvp.

Are the other Galaxy Chats as toxic as ours I wonder?

[waxen kite]

trying to make an ARC from a serie that has 1 season and 5 episodes can only end up like this

instead of doing a month of "holodeck" where each week would represent a different old popular ARC that would give newer people a chance to finish missions and get some officer shards that they missed... heck.. im giving them free advice and im sure it would end up better then this monstrosity that they planned for last 6 months.

[grizzled seal]

They fix one thing and mess up 4 other things. It getting bad real bad. As much as they charge we shouldn't have the problems we do

[stiff parcel]

Simple things. Like coordinates posting. And now alliance chests.

[empty jolt]

How about before scopely adds anything new ( and breaks more in the process) they go back and fix everything they have already broken?

[waxen kite]

I still need to reposition ship in armada just to see the timer and thats been an issue from dawn of STFC

Oof the marketing spin on that update is...wow

[chrome cape]

Oh, they’ll gladly clear out any “gifts” for you.

[dark cairn]

@tacit obsidian is there going to be a way for us non pc users to get this prime?

[waxen kite]

there is no "gift chest" that can reimburse us for the frustration we went thru anyway....

well

maybe a 1000 rodium particles, so i dont have to do my resarch for next 26 years but 25

[chrome cape]

🤣

[waxen kite]

If they where honest with the mistakes they did and frustrations they caused that prime should be given for free at end of BP

[dark cairn]

I don't want it but not being able to get it without playing on a certain platform is kinda crap.

[waxen kite]

its not like they didnt do this before

with the officer prime if people remember .

[full python]

The compensation will be 1 or 2 shards for some useless officer that we either need just 119 more to unlock or already have them maxed..there is never an in-between

It’s like they look at my officer list and decide..hmm this dolt will never unlock this guy..give him one of those shards!

[spare vapor]

I mean you'll eventually unlock it...2023?

Sorry to rant..but if Scopley actually had a bank vault of 4*rare ore that was an actual physical currency that could be redeemed..anyone see Heat?

[nova sable]

Need alliance rewards to get fixed have 32 rewards I can’t claim @tacit obsidian

[dusky brook]

Finally upgrading from the x86's in your mom's basement. Praise Jesus!!!

[limpid cipher]

We need to be able to see how many scout messages we have

[fringe drum]

The ceritos event which your giving away bps, massive grind 50k points, 49 hostiles 233 per hit. The multipler being added so this not entirely boring grind would make new players ceritos not bored to tears !!!

[woeful hare]

Fix the damn game

[maiden pilot]

You don't need to be a pc user

Just use the webstore if you buy anything

[placid grotto]

Well, you have to use a PC

[maiden pilot]

No you don't

[placid grotto]

so technically you must be a pc user

Why the heck would you do it on a phone

[maiden pilot]

You go to the webstore on your phone

If you buy stuff from the webstore, you earn multiphasic

[placid grotto]

I guess

[maiden pilot]

No guessing. I have never installed the game on my computer. I have multiphasic from buying the battlepass via the webstore

Nowhere near enough for that prime, but I have some.

[placid grotto]

Don't do that prime.

Diminishing returns

because of all the research you would have at that point it's only like a 5% or lower real buff.

also at that level you have 500% exocomps

[shell lotus]

Fixed the Alliance awards part yet?

[nova sierra]

Because free multiphasics is better than no free multiphasics?

[placid grotto]

I guess

[nova sierra]

No.

[nova sierra]

Interface isn’t terrible on the phone either.

[placid grotto]

I personally would feel safer on PC

although there probably isn't much difference

[grave gazelle]

I’m having a problem on my iOS version. I updated the app and all, but when I go into the store, I see this

When I go in the store on the windows version I see this

Not seeing Reginald Barkley a lower deck officer that takes 110 shards to unlock and you can buy 3 packs of 25 shards to unlock him. Gees, his abilities aren’t worth $500

[vale wasp]

Some offers are not available on all platforms, it looks like Reggie is one of those.

[modest fern]

So we MUST buy Our paid content at the PC Store to unlock, after some months or years, some Prime ?

[vale wasp]

For one prime, the cost is some MPC, which is available from the webstore. I've heard that you can buy stuff there from mobile so it's not strictly pc-only.

[modest fern]

Yes you can buy it from the mobile but you need buy it in the Webstore, that Scopley doesnt pay the 30% to Alphabet

[polar basin]

Dont have Barclay in the WebStore. Not complaining though in this case 😂

[loud stag]

My officer preset slot 1 reset after nr3 unlocked

[austere folio]

That happened to my second slot

[nova sierra]

It's funny because scopely owes everything to ABC and ios. I don't like the precedent set. They probably did it with a sub par prime to see how players react. Don't want no scopely id

[nova sierra]

Owing everything is a bit much.

[nova sierra]

I don't see how the game would even exist without the app stores. They'd have 1% of the player base without it

That may be the case but if you look at the income the App Store takes from simply existing as a payment gateway, you can see it is thoroughly disproportionate to the cost of providing that service even giving suitably large margins.

Epic were right, they just went about it wrong.

I’m gonna go all paid shill here, but Scopely got this right.

They don’t often do that.

Not just a payment gateway though, it's a platform that has billions of eyes

Particularly on Apple’s side, you pay to develop for their platform, they take a cut of every transaction and that cut doesn’t scale with size; what is a perfectly reasonable margin when you’re transacting a couple of hundred times per month for an indie is a very different prospect to transacting a couple of thousand times an hour.

[vale wasp]

They both provided each with a service/content, I don't think either owes anything to anyone

[nova sierra]

Volume discounts exist everywhere except there.

True. Without the app store stfc wouldn't have gotten off the ground, while app stores don't need scopely

I agree that they should be able to negotiate for lower cuts based on how much they bring in

[vale wasp]

App stores need content

[nova sierra]

Let’s consider the 2019 report of $10M per month from STFC.

That means Apple/Google were taking $3M per month, just to host a binary and process transactions.

They need content, but not scopely's content. I see what you're saying, but I think one needs the other much more

Now I know “just” is an oversimplification; just like many apply here to Scopely and their bugs.

But $3M?

For one studio, for one title.

[vale wasp]

A shop that sells in a mall doesn't owe anything to the mall after the transaction is complete.

[nova sierra]

But the mall wouldn’t exist without the shop.

(s), plural.

It's like superbowl ads, they're expensive because it provides so many eyes and so everyone wants to be there. It's not an exact apology since superbowl ad time is limited

Reminds me, apparently I need to watch the one with Eminem et al.

[crude sandal]

I'd prefer if they just made the webstore cheaper than the others 😂

Then I'd actually use it over Play

[inner lotus]

Really like the new banners - but with German language settings, the SLB position is cut off 😦

[burnt viper]

What kills me is that they bring this huge pay wall structure during the highest inflation we have seen in decades. I don't know about all y'all but pay in my area hasn't increased as fast so I don't have the disposable income I had 3 months ago. Is Scopley living in a bubble?

[wind nebula]

I only just now noticed that game allows for CSV export of battle logs. That's very nice feature I missed.

[nova sierra]

Pay wall? 👀

[sullen matrix]

@tacit obsidian @vale wasp can we have back the information of how many scout messages you have in the faction store, its important to know and was exactly where it needed to be.
There was no point to replace it with the allegiance key amount, if something had to be cut out, replace the commendation amount

[waxen kite]

patch again and no announcement? cmon boys you can do better

MSG ME AND ILL DO THE GOD DAMN ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FREE LOL

[hasty oar]

if i click on it it loop load and still there since 2 days

[vale wasp]

Manually update your game, there was a patch last night that fixed this.

[hasty oar]

how i can manually update?

ah sec he is updating now

[waxen kite]

if you play on PC just restart your launcher

[hasty oar]

59 megs

yup 😄

[waxen kite]

I see chests are fixed good , at least for me, now if they would fix the old armada bug where you dont see timers when you enter, i would be in heaven.

[hasty oar]

mhh something not work. Why after i downloaded 59 mega he is dowloading 393 megs?

[waxen kite]

zip, unzip maybe? 😛

[hasty oar]

in will need 15 mins

and i dunno how need so much

[waxen kite]

i aint techno mag but usualy seeders affect downloading if im not mistaken.. but maybe your internet is potato too :p

[hasty oar]

is 1meg at sec

[jolly laurel]

3 days later and scopely stil cant fix alliance rewards...

[vale wasp]

It's fixed, you'll need to update your game again.

[slate dagger]

I might have found a trick in getting Android games yo work on Chromebook. It could be solved by installing Android on the Chromebook as its operating system, as le would have on Mobile. And just install android apps likewise. Hopefully that will be better. Anyone else tried that on a chromebook?

[frozen frigate]

Thanks for turning around the Alliance Store defect so quickly Team. That was a good SLI/SLA on bug to MTTR. Appreciate your prioritization on that one

[golden radish]

No update for iOS version in Apple store to fix the rewards issue…. Coming soon?

[nova sierra]

Been there for a while now 😅

[golden radish]

Ah… the update doesn’t show for the Apple store search results but it does when I open up the app in the store. Worked fine after the patch update

[strong elbow]

Dear Scopely,

This is not hate mail but you say you LISTEN which from a players view point is not shown to be true. We do the surveys yet the same issues come up again and again. Stuck in battle, events broken, event rewards messed up then changed cause YOU messed up, just to name a few. I like others enjoy new content when it’s good and not always locked behind a paywall. But at what point do you fix old content or making it accessible WITHOUT making it paywalled. Lorca, syndicate xp, old officers, to name a few. When are generators gonna actual do something other then be a mats sink, people been asking for this for years. Players shouldn’t be conditioned to expect everytime a patch comes out that at least 1 thing will be broken if not 5. Game feels like it’s still in beta testing rather then a game that has been out for years. We want to enjoy the game not feel like your ONLY interest is to get paid. A happy player is more likely to spend an angry player to quit. Feeling forced to spend to participate doesn’t make anyone happy. Make us feel spending is worth it and we might reward you. FYI your prime and specialty packs are garbage.

[hasty oar]

[restive breach]

Server 27 seems to be down or at least not allowing us to login.

[river fjord]

What are you asking?

[fading lark]

Server 29 as well.

[warped void]

Scopely,

Quick reminder (though the whole fact I'm seeing that the game crashed while I write this is funny), your customers pay your bills and salary. When you put accountants, profit, schedule, etc. in priority over your customers you risk loosing it all. Though I honestly think your bordering on going under already. The last few months your quality control has ceased to exist, your "new content" has actually made the game less fun to play and you haven't responded to a single trouble ticket with anything beyond an automated response in months. You owe everyone some explanations, and not thru your mods, whoever runs that place needs to get public and own it.

[nova sierra]

I am trying to get on this server

Can someone try to invite me?

[native adder]

No, they said they would announce the downtime for that scheduled maintenance

[nova sierra]

servers appear to be up

If anyone is on it?

Same for 179

[fast tide]

[river fjord]

I’m not on the server, can’t help out with that one!

[nova sierra]

I am asking if anyone is on the Star Trek discord server. If anyone is, I would like an invite because I can’t join on my own

[nova sierra]

K

[steep socket]

StFC has been taken down by the DMA

[glossy raven]

I guess our compensation is already underway….

[rain burrow]

Sniff, sniff.... I detect the aroma of a dumpster fire

[wintry zinc]

Woops, Scopely forgot to pay the bill again ><

[nova sierra]

Fine, I’m leaving

[hushed pine]

reason #51 for #betatesting

[nova sierra]

I’m on server 70 Maddox, is anyone having trouble logging into the game?

[surreal anchor]

Everyone

[waxen kite]

time to play Cycle for a bit, someone poke me when Scopley pull the head out of the sand please

[steep socket]

[fading lark]

Can’t wait for the chest containing 2, 10 second speed ups for away teams.

[hushed pine]

that might take a while

[swift steppe]

server 31 down

[austere marten]

Game just went down. @tacit obsidian

[wintry zinc]

new patch can be downloaded after restarting client

[crude arch]

Talk about completely screwing up event SLB and

[atomic oar]

ALLL SERVERS DOWN

[lofty wharf]

EU-155 no login possible atm @tacit obsidian

[iron pine]

Seems possibly Authentication Server(s) went down causing everyone to disconnect.

[rain burrow]

"Because this issue effected everyone equally, there will be no compensation chest."

[lofty wharf]

Looks like.

[stiff juniper]

164 down, social authentication

[crude arch]

Except it doesn't appear to have effected everybody, some people are still able to be in game.

[glass dragon]

Everyone got booted. Now get back to work.... There more to life than Star Trek....said no one....

[wintry zinc]

I think it's a half-baked update push 🙂 There are updates on Android and PC (can't say for IOS)

[languid frost]

Wasn’t there SUPPOSED to be a “schedule” before the back end maintenance? 😂😂 so much for a warning.

[stoic finch]

What happened? They forgot to tell us again???

[austere marten]

Star Trek is life! 🤣

[nova sierra]

I installed the update about 2 hours ago and just got booted. I think it's related to authentication as AWS shows no outages and Scopely's server statuses are all up.

[exotic cloak]

The hamster powering the server in its wheel finally died?

[wild pecan]

I see free gifts in the future. I’ll take ummm 20k 4* unc battleship blueprint please. Thank you

[gloomy vale]

iOS updates aswell …. Mess up again!

[atomic oar]

they forgot or did not have money to pay their bills

[golden radish]

Authentication server dropped offline, it seems

[mellow vigil]

Someone forgot to pay their Electric Bill! Quick everyone, purchase a Pack or 2 from the Web Store to help out Scopely! 🙄  Ooops, Web Store’s down as well Suck’s to be them! 😂🤣

[crude arch]

Of course they have the money, they have all of ours.

[atomic oar]

everyone was updating game same time overloaded servers

[gloomy vale]

But no login still possible after updating.

[lofty wharf]

Running the iOS update for hours now, but was booted moments ago.

The update fixes the gifts problem for the ally.

[smoky ibex]

Not exceptable

[glass dragon]

Dear Scopley

The apologetic gift box for THIS? BETTER include a FREE Enterprise

Thank you in advance
