Exchange Space needs an update... we should not be able to wipe an entire board of armada targets period, but especially not during an Exchange Armada event! When is the thick skullery going to end?

@tacit obsidian Did they intentionally change the Apex Outlaw event to have Apex Hunter and Apex Rogue on the same day? it used to be Apex Spy on day 1, Hunter on Day 2 and Rogue on Day 3 to cover the Outlaw ALB lasting 3 days.

Opened my second alamgram chest, still not enough for 1 recruit tab chest. 9 days for 1 chest. I thought getting this ship was finally a way to get the jellyfish refit. But I see it’s just another pipedream/distraction, pretending the game has any hope unless you can afford every pack

I would gladly take a few months of no new arcs and for the Devs to fix the most annoying issues with the game once and for all! Then they can get back to the new content.

Scopely, please can you put more eclipse systems in that are high level? 90% of 168 can kill 39/40 Eclipse hostiles which means any event that needs Eclipse kills is just a mass push into Penumbra and Lindstrom.

Which means 3 months of stagnant game for a lot of people, and quitters. Lots of quitters.

#

I like the sentiment but the true solution can only lie in a balance between the two.

glad cradle
#

How about this @nova sierra ? Every other month, don't have an arc so things can be fixed. I think this is a comprise that many (if not most) players can accept. They might not be able to fix everything each time they do this, but it will eventually get done. During the month with no arc, test the fixes first. If they create new bugs, try to fix them. This might not be the only option to fix the bugs, but it's definitely better then the way it's being done now.

They don’t have to be done separately.

Fortunately, since upgrading to an iPhone SE 2020 (2nd edition), I haven't had too many major issues with the frequent bugs and crashes. Friends of mine with older phones are having some issues.

A new problem will come later this year, for players with older Apple devices. When iOS 16 is released, phones older than an iPhone 8 may not work properly (or even function at all). Other devices like iPads, etc., may also have the same issues. Obviously, those with older devices don't have to upgrade to iOS 16. I hope Scopely is preparing NOW, for when the release happens. My phone will work, but if the game has issues with iOS 16, I'm fortunate to have a Scopely id to use the pc version.

nova sierra
#

Why do Scopely need to prepare for people trying to run a current game on a 6 year old device? 😬

#

Of all the things Scopely deserve an absolute hammering for, ā€œyour game doesn’t work on a device the manufacturer won’t supportā€ is not a strong argument really.

So we have a mat spend 3 or 4 days after the last mat spend. Where do these mats come from? And we re run the event from two days ago that jammed everyone on the server into about 3 systems again. Because jamming everyone into 3 systems is the absolute funnest way to play this game.

# frozen frigate shhhhhhh... Complain, but come up with a resolution point.

Resolution point: Scopely, please make a simple list of things we as players hate. Post this list in every developers cubicle. Go over it in every dev meeting. once an arc or event is ready, check it against the list to see if it will cause us to hate it. I'll start. Do not run the whole server into a single system or any number of systems less than fingers on your right hand. Mats spend events are fine. We need notice of them beforehand though. Please others add to this list.

#

Requiring 40 and 41 players to spend almost 10k mats is unacceptable when most of the buildings and research doesn't use 4* uncommon/rare, you can't have a 4* ship until shipyard 41 and even then, you have to have 180k credits to buy one. And on top of that, the shipyard is 15k crystal so good luck saving up for those big ticket items in between.

5 or 6k is pushing it.

@tacit obsidian I need clarification on whether we are forcibly returned to our original servers when the incursion is over or are we just stationed on the invaded server until we choose to return.

There's 3 things to consider imo

  1. Players- There are PvP Players who will participate in this but there are Players who don't want to and rather stick to pve. I expect there will be many angry Players about getting hit nonstop just trying to kill hostiles
  2. ROE- unless something is decided between roe from both servers, you're gonna have trouble mining. Most servers have roe btw.

I mean yeah, but this is gonna escalate

#

I'm not trying to speak for my server personally but others as well. There are some that are in a complete war zone and some with wars but most peaceful

#

Scopely has nothing to do with roe at all. I honestly wish they considered it though. ROE Is a big aspect of the star trek fleet command game/community

I'm progressing my acc by grinding in tygokor and rarely get blown up. Im not gonna get mad if I get blown up constantly but I'm gonna get annoyed that I can't progress my acc because there is an event that requires pvp to score for a month

Its for pvp players i get it, we pve players just need to shield in lower systems there is an out. BUT if miners give points, no roe will stop em

I for one shall be sticking a 7 day shield up and logging off. Scopley cannot get the game to function under ā€œnormalā€ circumstances… so how on earth does anyone think this is going to end any way other than badly. There are other things that the development team should be working on, not this silly cross-server nonsense. The server I’m on is quite a peaceful place and I can’t see many of us taking part (not wanting to speak on my servers behalf). Maybe the odd whale might take part. But this will probably just turn into another part-baked half thought through idea that should never have seen the light of day

Hahahahahhahaha that won't happen

Honeslty i look forward to the pvp upset utll wake up a lot of players. BUT! It can not be more than a couple days. A week long server invade is to long, and God forbid they decide to do it the whole month oh no

My theory is they're testing incursions on their test cluster, but the test cluster must use the same host as their prod/live build, and the cpus are probably pinned from the shoddy coding, with this lag being a result.

During Incursions, all peace shields are suppressed in systems level 20+, and no new shields can be activated.

Who here is familiar regarding the fact that game developers optimize for Consoles usually optimize their game code to make the most of the specific console hardware? (Ps3/4/5, xbox360)

We need bug fixes and optimization. I filed a suggestion for an intense amt. of that every of other month, instead of Arc content.

I remember when pvp was faster and had less lag, UI is slower now, not counting todays lag.

Hello eco, do you really think, Infinite Incursions is a good idea? With suspending shields you force players in pvp who dont want it. in a extremesituation i buy a 30 days shield because i am offline for a while and find a empty base when i come back?

Then scopely force players in a pvp event who dont want it. We have a lot of players here who only want to play pve. Atm i can decide for every event if i want to play it active and i have no disadvantages if i do not. In this event i would forced to play it, because i have bo choice. And TBH almost everbody will move to the 1-19 systems then. So this makes absolute no sense..

Move your station to a lvl 19 or lower system and you aren’t forced to do anything. If people are parked in lvl 20+ systems and not actively playing they are probably drained already. It isn’t that complicated

Either plan for someone you trust to manage shielding, or maybe, the rss just isn't that important 😐

Shields, once activated should be a 100% guarantee that your stuff is safe. Suppressing them for this load of toss is unnecessary and unacceptable

Of course it sucks to have the base zeroed. But it is a far cry from game ending for anyone.

I will be slightly offput if my dilithium stock gets zeroed before I use it, but if I take a break and don't shield long enough... ohwell, it's not the end of the world

If my base was zeroed through no fault of my own I'd think twice about putting in the effort to start playing again. Particularly with Scopelys nefarious practices in this event

crude sandal
#

and it turns out I have the same amount in tokens as I do in raw, and 10x the amount of trit/steel tokens as what I have ready

#

So move to a lv19 or lower system

#

I totally get the point of people who are already out of game

#

with a long shield up, who might lose it all

lime socket
#

Pretty much all my rss are in tokens now. All the trit, all the dil, and over 90% of the steel

feral holly
#

We have a big raider who often fills up then has to travel with no internet access. He buys a shield and knows it's safe.

Or did

But, it's almost a week before the next update drops, and it may well be longer before the first incursions kick off, so they're getting at least the equivalent of a 7 day shield to see the news and plan accordingly

And if he's already out of the game at the moment?

Then he's stuck, and it's unfortunate that he may get caught out

Every single month we see people here whining that they didn't know X was happening, and it's been announced either early or late, or both, and someone didn't read it at all or forgot in the meantime...

That's true. But certainly not ok

The few people who are paid enough to bother with a 30 day shield (which, has 2* mats, some speedups, and a single 30 day shield... ick), and have zero contact with the outside world during that time, and are coincidentally away for this specific 7 day period, are either well adjusted enough to cope with loss of rss, or are a strawman

They need to start their officer grind of faction recruit boxes. Officers are most important. That should be their number one priority. It is no surprise to me that they only has 50 pike shards if they aren’t prioritizing that grind. If you don’t have pike as a lvl 40 then something is seriously wrong. If you do, then don’t worry cuz only point of maxing pike is stats, he doesn’t do anymore for you as you tier. He’s great out of the box and kinda stays the same.

@tacit obsidian Glad to see the nodes you added, but we need to do something about the G4 economy over all. It's really bad. Things are very expensive, refining costs are high, and payout is low (though you did say you'd improve that, but doesn't change the high cost of things)

Also, regarding the M1 client, just enable the iOS version to be installed. Every app I've done this with had worked fine without any changes from the dev team. Should be minimal effort on your guys part.

@tacit obsidian can I get a response to what I have said and asked?

weak marten

#

My question is why not give us a choice? Simply run an event that gives a token to vote as the whether or not we want to participate in incursions as individual servers

weak marten
#

At this point, how incursions will run in the upcoming iteration are set in stone. That said, they've been very clear to us as CCs/the mods/etc they're open to feed back and changes. They want to see how it runs and improve it from there.

sturdy girder
#

Then they need to remove inactive bases from low lvl systems because I'm pretty sure most in my server will be abstaining from the event. I run with 2 different alliance totaling 135 players and neither of them want to participate so if it's likewise with other alliance then systems will fill up fast

This should not be forced on servers that want to be left alone

The announcement of the changes is welcomed, and I am excited about them using our feedback and doing something with...

#

I've spent 10's of thousands of dollars to play this game with my friends and be strong. Many are in the same boat. We just want to be left alone. If they really want to do something why not remove the hating system they have that stops ppl from joining servers and stop making new ones. Let us help the new players and teach them what to do instead. Many of these recent events have deteriorated the player base in my server dramatically. Of course there is always attrition but it's been on a steadily increasing basis. We had a lvl 56 player have his account deleted just a few weeks ago because of the poor management of our server by the devs

weak marten
#

No arguments here. Eco can tell you I've already voiced a lot of early concerns about incursions. I'll definitely keep passing along feedback from players such as yourself. I hope it doesn't go as poorly as many of us fear it can

sturdy girder
#

Like I brought up they should have run an event that would give a token to cast a vote. It's a feature they have used in the past for faction allegiance so we all know it could have been done. It's another show of poor planning and player management by the devs

#

I'm tired of seeing my friends quit. And instead of allowing new members to join our servers they are diluting the player base with new servers and throwing their hands in the air when it comes to server merges saying there is "nothing else we can do"

#

Many of these servers have conflicting rules and ideas of how the game should be played so when server merges happen and accompanying drama ensues it will drive more ppl to quit that otherwise would have continued to enjoy the game

Hey @tacit obsidian and other Scopely folks, the recent officer QOL changes were a good improvement, BUT ... the only trouble is, almost every officer in my officers list shows as upgradeable because almost all of them have trait points that COULD be spent on them. Would it be feasible to split that marker into two, one (say a blue star at the left end of the shard bar) for "You could spend trait points on this officer", and keep the other, the arrow on the right, for "No, really, you can actually level or promote this officer"? Having officer leveling/promotion and trait points on the same indicator makes it all but useless, because you've STILL got to open up each officer one by one to see which is which.

TC can be fun, but when you have to continually reboot the game because you can’t target, can’t repair, and can’t even get into the system you own…and let’s not forget the atrocious lag (which has only gotten worse lately)…what make you think that there’s even a snowball’s chance in hell that cross-server anything will function?

#

Try fixing this unstable disaster/dumpster fire you call a code base. In other words, do the basic stuff right first. Then you can build from there.

Not the point. PvP I got no issue with. You want to pew pew someone go for it. The issue I take with is forcing me to either accept this or move to a different system to avoid it. No big deal you say. Well when it’s a system with only 5/6 slots yeah it is a big issue. Territory safe haven…Nope that’s gone too. They’ve taken the most fundamental issue of shield or share and tossed it out the window. Shielding meant I choose not to lose my RSS. It’s an event to cater to the bigger 40s and 50s who I have NO chance to beat off with a stick of taking my RSS. It is beyond my comprehension of why they would think this is a good idea.

Personally I'm glad it's going to shake up rator, pjem, morska and the couple others. If you stay and keep the system blocked, it will be remote raiding. Same as territory. You still get some protection. You are Worried someone will come steal your spot by the end? That somebody would be playing by the same rules! Seems you have at least 3 options. Spend your rss down to vaults, find a low level player that can reach the system to hold your base housing, get your 500 person alliance to devise a protection plan and hunker down or move on. Just remember any invaders to your server will most likely be kos, so help is a gc call away

The game isn’t designed around individuals players needs and wants. There’s a vast & varied player base who all like different things. Usually PvP is negated by ROE/PvE diehards who shield up and eliminate any enjoyment for others who like to actually use the battleships they’ve put time and resources into. This time if you want to shut up shop then there’s a trade off. As there should be.

How do you get in contact with scopley support other than in game. I purchased the July special pack and first it didn't go through then it charged me 3 times for same purchase. I didn't click the button 3 times either just to be clear. I can't get ahold of anyone. The bank charges me 35 bucks per stop pay. This some BS. I'm not paying 70 dollars to stop 40 extra dollars.

#

@tacit obsidian in general, I appreciate that the developers listen to the players.
however, there are many other significant issues besides the survey. one of them is the refining of vidar.
perhaps at the time of the launch of this part of the game, when there were a maximum of 5-6 officers, this was acceptable. now, with the release of 3 more epic miners and bringing the number of Borg to 11, the requirement of 3.5 years (or 7 years without prime research) to collect activated nanoprobes is simply ridiculous. I don't even mention the credits of the independent faction...
the game is always evolving, that's fine. however, it would be useful to look at the balance of things that were introduced to the game a long time ago and are not being revised

I am not bragging. And i did not spend money on getting the Pilum. But yes I prepared for it for multiple months

The reason for the post was the uselessness of the bps as stated

Every choice we make has consequences

#

Yes and I spend time on collecting scout messages like a mad man. and short before I had romulan reputation making me eligible for turning credits into Pilum bps, Scopely fixed a loophole that previously had allowed to convert an endless amount of scout messages into credits. took me therefore a few weeks longer.

#

Since then Scopely has added away teams, another very efficient way to get faction credits

Never said the game was designed for individuals needs and wants. I agree that the game dips its hands into all kinds of player bases. The issue I have is the fundamental foundation upon which the game was built. Shields. If you don’t want your base to get raided you shield up. And now this fundamental concept is out the window unless you go to a lower system. Why do I need to be forced to move because of this event? Given Scopely’s track record of messing up the simplest of things you think that this event is going to go smoothly? How about when the event is over and you have a shield failure as an unintentional consequence of bad coding. Never happen you say…Odds against it you say… I’m going to hold my breath here that the event is going to have issues. I hope I’m wrong

@round bear @empty nebula
I am convinced if there were no shields that a)
Rewards of events would not be split 50/50 between RSS and rss tokens but maybe 25/75
b) Base cracking would be harder (either more research for it available, more crews, increased base strength of stations etc.)

These two points combined would mean that raiding would be way more difficult at lower potential rewards. So less people would be willing to do it. At the same time there would be a lot more targets. So the odds of getting raided would be dramatically reduced.

When I speak of casual players I mean those that log in twice a day just to refresh their miners.
Between that and 'professionals' is a lot of room for other kinds of players.

Those red markers are annoying as hell already - why do they always make things worse 😩

agile lynx
#

general feedback so far appears to be "Red markers why?" and "where new currency from".

nova sierra

wait a minute, they did not add red markers to the gifts section, scopely fix it asap please

(sarcasm)

Just take the L and roll back. Please.

Game improvements… IMPROVEMENTS!!! The red markers on everything is NOT an improvement

Can we uninstall this version and go back to the last version to get rid of all the red numbers please.

wind vortex

Oh Scopely, there's no "store" button on the alliance help window. You should fix that ASAP, that'll sell more packs. 🧠

Things that you need reminders for daily, refinery and syndicate, are ok but not on things like the store or away teams.

I keep auto hitting the alliance store because I have a 17 red marker šŸ™ˆ

Also I thought we were going to get a loot chest update? All I see in the note is they are limiting how many you can have save. That is not what I thought the change was going to be.

all the new red exclamation marks added in the 7-5-2022 patch are awful... I don't need a zillion indicators to buy every possible peace shield iteration, or spend every last away team credit I have.. they don't make sense 😦

# shadow heron wait what.

Look at the notes. They said it was going to be limited to 1000 and if you have more the oldes was going to be remove

Loot Chests Changes

Changes to the loot chest system include:

The maximum number of loot chests the inventory can hold will be limited to 1,000
When the limit is reached, the oldest is removed and replaced with the newest chest earned.
The opening limit has increased to 100 (previously 50)
If you have more than 1,000 loot chests currently, the contents of your loot will be transferred into the 1,000 limit.

they moved them to the 1000 chest remaining

#

but this is a one time thing, so starting from today start opening the chest or you will loose the loot from the oldest one

Oh if those red dots don't disappear after I click on them I'm going to go insane.

You do realize there are a lot of items we COULD redeem but we do not? like all the different types of shields, avatars etc?

@pulsar leaf can we remove these red markers - they are damn annoying at best of times why add more lol

This would never have pased User Acceptance Testing. So clearly it never went there.

Way to many red dots.

What a stupid update. Tells me i have 5 away missions. All are at least 8 hours from finishing. I don’t need reminder that there are 14 things in the alliance store i don’t want to buy or 11 things that i don’t want to refine.

#

Imma join the chorus here- to hell with all these red dots.

Seriously what is happening at scopely... They make millions, and can't even fulfil the most basic development steps...

Thought one of our guys had bought 29 packs…. Where’s my 15 min speedups

#

as well as the horrible red badges, when scanning a ship to view opc, the numbers are now much much smaller and the decimal point is ridiculously tiny. I've thought multiple people had way more OPC than they did

novel oracle
#

The new red pips are annoying
Red pips on the Alliance button for Territory and Alliance store claims
Red pips on the refinery for ship skin shard tracker items in the Amalgam refinery and for the Progenitor Alloy trade-ins (not terrible, but I prefer to turn those in 10 at a time instead of 1 at a time)
The Territory store one wouldn't be bad if it didn't include the Jellyfish, the resources, or the Black Fleet Memorials
The Alliance store one wouldn't be bad if it didn't include the shields

stoic pebble
#

Don’t worry guys for $159.99 you can buy exclamation mark prime to remove them

bargin!

autumn rover
#

So of all the things they could have fixed.. They give us red dots all over... My screen has chicken pox. What a pointless and unrequested update.. Just shows how much they listen šŸ™„

kindred gull
#

Not to mention nerfed pve chest limits going forward

novel oracle
#

Some of the refinery ones were way overdue (ship parts, territory, discovery, cerritos, and Amalgam), but they put them on bundles that really shouldn't have them.

I'm doing testing to see what drops in them now

WTF ARE ALL THESE RED SQUARES FOR?!!

Turn off all the red flags! I don’t care that I can redeem iso-emulsion for parsteel tokens in the territory store!

young dune
#

I barely get alerts when I get hit, yet I get notified there is parsteel available in the territory store?

#

Where the hell are your priorities Scopely?

clever nymph
#

please roll back the change with the red flags! You've made them useless by including things people almost never claim!

eager lava
#

Who ever thought, ya know all those annoying read markers you can't get rid of? Well how about we triple the amount of markers that you can't get rid of.
Definitely an "improvement" in annoying your player base.

exotic wave
#

the new red marker is nice, however it indicates a lot of items for me that i have no interest in (creating noise), I would welcome the option to individually toggle / supress notifications off for particular packs etc

plain sun
#

Or... And here's a wild suggestion, the markers should just disappear once you've clicked on them until there's an update on that specific item or it comes back available after you have purchased whatever it was

exotic wave
#

that would work too

#

like in the chat

plain sun
#

Also, the away teams ones appear to be bugged, says I have 2... I have 5 in progress and all the others I clicked in to specifically to make them not show as new

#

Red markers… noooooooooooooooooooooooooo and more nooooooooooooooooo

Red, red everywhere... šŸ™ˆ why did you do this scopely

#

On a serious note, there is an IT phenomenon known as notification fatigue. It is the point at which the notifications are so numerous and onerous that the end user ignores them altogether. I’d say that point has now been reached in STFC.

young dune
#

What is the point of telling me I can buy shields in the alliance store

I know I can go there to get shields.

#

Get rid of this crap all over the screen

Those new exclamation marks are just annoying and no improvement!

Opening the game after update I get the feeling exclamation marks were on special sale šŸ™ˆ

young dune

#

Please change the notifications back or give me an option to disable them.

valid grove
#

The exclamation marks arent a bad idea in general, but how about a setting that lets you enable those reminders per claim/shop option? Or only show the reminder after the user has claimed it at least once?
Or notifications only for things that have been on cooldown?
Right now I have notifications for a lot of stuff were I am intentionally saving/not exchanging.
I mean, what use are those notifications telling me that I have enough alliance credits to buy a new und peace shield…

vivid hedge
#

I don’t need to know I can claim shields I’ll figure it out when I go to put a shield on and don’t have any to use.

It wouldn't be so bad if the markers cleared when you viewed the item

I wouldn't mind clicking through clearing them all once
